WHAT IS SALVATION IN THE BIBLE?
What is salvation in the bible? Now this may sound like a simple, straightforward question, but it is deeper and more complex than most of us thought. We have been taught the salvation of Christianity, in which salvation is so easy.
Christianity teaches things like:
“We are all the same,”
“God loves everyone the same.”
“As long as you are a Christian you have salvation” and
“We will all be raptured to heaven. “
Now everything I just wrote that they preach is false. If you are not aware of that, please don’t get angry and leave, because that is what they programmed you to do in their religion, so you do not listen to and find out the truth.
Anyway, stay on this teaching and we should learn something new. We will show the depths of true salvation, that a Christian pastor either cannot or will not do.
Now this post was taken from our Sabbath teaching on YouTube. If you prefer to watch it, you may do so through the video below. Here is part 1 of the video.
SALVATION IS NOT IN THE FALSE MESSIAH OF CHRISTIANITY
If you are coming to our website for the first time, do not be offended. Remember, it is the truth that sets us free, and it is the truth that saves. If we love or make a lie, we cannot enter the kingdom of the Most High. So we and others like us, will tell you the full truth so you can be saved.
And one of those truths you need to know is that salvation is not in the name Jesus Christ. To find out why we say this, take a look at our video showing exactly who or what Jesus Christ really is.
Please don’t take it personal, but Ruach HaQadosh (the Holy Spirit) is supposed to lead you into all truth.
The truth is, the name Jesus Christ is the name of a false Messiah (Mat 24:4-5, Mat 24:24), the god of the Gentiles, the god of the children of Edom who gave us the mystery religion of Babylon (Rev 17:1-5) called Christianity.
Here below are several articles in which we wrote all about it in detail. You may check out these articles below:
- Who Is Jesus Christ?
- Why You Are Antichrist If You Believe “Jesus Is God”
- Deceiving Christian False Teachers Revealed
- Let My People Go! How Christianity Now Has Israel in Bondage (New Egypt)
- Study: Does the New Testament Bible Speak of a Christian Inheritance or Kingdom?
So, when we are speaking about being saved through the name of the Messiah, we are speaking of being saved through Yahusha HaMashiach, the Hebrew Messiah. His attributes are totally different, in fact the opposite of, Jesus Christ.
Yahusha HaMashiach is the lawful Messiah whose followers do not worship him as “God” but follow him and abide in him (John 15:4-6), walking as he walked (1 John 2:6), obeying his commandments as well as those of his Father (John 15:10).
His Father is not God, but actually the Great Ahayah, YAHUAH Tsaba’oth (Exo 3:14-15), the Aluah of Yasharal (and none else – see Joel 2:27). In the end, the Aluah of the whole earth shall he be called (Isa 54:5).

REDEMPTION VS SALVATION
First of all, though, we cannot begin our look into what is salvation in the bible without looking into the differences between salvation and redemption. Now I would advise you to take a look into our detailed teaching on the meaning of redemption in the bible.
WHAT IS REDEMPTION IN THE BIBLE?
Essentially from our teaching on “redemption,” we concluded that redemption is available for only one nation. It is the Most High buying back his people who he had sent away in bondage. Here is the meaning of redeem, which shows us it is a purchase.
H1350
גָּאַל
gâ’al
gaw-al’
A primitive root, to redeem (according to the Oriental law of kinship), that is, to be the next of kin (and as such to buy back a relative’s property, marry his widow, etc.): – X in any wise, X at all, avenger, deliver, (do, perform the part of near, next) kinsfolk (-man), purchase, ransom, redeem (-er), revenger.
Total KJV occurrences: 104
They were bought at a price (1 Cor 6:20), through the blood of Yahusha HaMashiach, their brethren, as the law of redemption says one of their brethren or next of kin can redeem them.
Lev 25:47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
Lev 25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
Hence, Yahusha will redeem his brethren, the children of Yasharal (Eph 1:7, Col 1:14).
MEANING OF SALVATION IN THE BIBLE
Salvation on the other hand, is being saved, delivered, rescued. Take a look at both the old and new testament meanings below for more clarity.
OLD TESTAMENT MEANING OF SALVATION
Hebrew: ישׁוּעה
Transliteration: yeshû‛âh
Pronunciation: yesh-oo’-awDefinition: Feminine passive participle of H3467; something {saved} that {is} (abstractly) deliverance; hence {aid} {victory } prosperity: – {deliverance} {health} help ({-ing}) {salvation} {save} saving ({health}) welfare.
KJV Usage: salvation (65x), help (4x), deliverance (3x), health (3x), save (1x), saving (1x), welfare (1x).
NEW TESTAMENT MEANING OF SALVATION
Greek: σωτηρία
Transliteration: sōtēria
Pronunciation: so-tay-ree’-ahDefinition: Feminine of a derivative of G4990 as (properly abstract) noun;
rescue or safety (physically or morally): – deliver health salvation save saving.
KJV Usage: salvation (40x), the (one) be saved (1x), deliver (with G1325) (1x), health (1x), saving (1x), that (one) be saved (with G1519) (1x).
REDEMPTION VS SALVATION MEANINGS
Now take a look at the old testament meaning of redemption alongside the old testament meaning of salvation.
MEANING OF REDEMPTION
H1350
גָּאַל
gâ’al
gaw-al’
A primitive root, to redeem (according to the Oriental law of kinship), that is, to be the next of kin (and as such to buy back a relative’s property, marry his widow, etc.): – X in any wise, X at all, avenger, deliver, (do, perform the part of near, next) kinsfolk (-man), purchase, ransom, redeem (-er), revenger.
MEANING OF SALVATION
Hebrew: ישׁוּעה
Transliteration: yeshû‛âh
Pronunciation: yesh-oo’-awDefinition: Feminine passive participle of H3467; something {saved} that {is} (abstractly) deliverance; hence {aid} {victory } prosperity: – {deliverance} {health} help ({-ing}) {salvation} {save} saving ({health}) welfare.
KJV Usage: salvation (65x), help (4x), deliverance (3x), health (3x), save (1x), saving (1x), welfare (1x).
As you can see, both speak of deliverance, but redemption is more specific in telling us how they are delivered. We can be saved in several different ways, but redemption is being saved by being purchased, bought, paid for, bought back.
This speaks of ownership of the Most High’s peculiar treasure (Yasharal) that he sent under the curses of the law (Deut 28) for disobedience, and is now redeeming them back through his son.
What is his peculiar treasure? See Deut 7:6, Amos 3:1-2, Joel 2:27.
So, his redemption is only available to his people Yasharal, but the aim of this post is to look into the question of whether or not salvation is the same. Is salvation only for Israel?
What is salvation in the bible?
ISRAEL ONLY CAN BE SAVED HEBREW ISRAELITE BELIEF
This question is very pertinent when we see the popular Hebrew Israelite teaching/belief. Many believe that Israel only can be saved and will be saved. Is this so?
Who is saved according to the bible?
Let’s begin to answer that question by looking into the question, why do we need salvation?
WHY DO WE NEED SALVATION?
There are several different reasons as to why we need salvation that are actually recorded in the bible. Now a look into why we need salvation will go a long way in helping us see what is salvation in the bible, and by extension, show us who can be saved.
Here some reasons along along with the bible references right beside it.
So, we need to be saved from:
- Captivity (Deut 28:15-19)
- Our oppressors – the heathen that are at ease (Zech 1:8-17)
- The conspiracy of nations to destroy us, the children of Yasharal (Psa 83:1-8)
- Our enemies (2 Sam 22:4, Psa 106:10)
- Sins (Matt 1:21)
- Wrath (Rom 5:8-11)
- Persecution (Psa 7:1-2)
- The sword (Job 5:15-16)
- End time tribulation (Luk 21:34-36)
The question to now ask ourselves is, are Gentiles in need of any of this salvation?
Gentiles indeed are in need of being saved from sins, wrath, the sword and end time tribulation. The rest in the list above, one would argue, belongs to the children of Israel.
So will the gentiles be granted this opportunity to be saved? Or will they be rejected as some teach?
OLD TESTAMENT RECORDS OF THE MOST HIGH SAVING GENTILES
Before we go further looking into what is salvation in the bible, we must prove that you will not be staying with us in vain. We must show proof in the old testament that the Most High saved Gentiles. I will give only two accounts. I hope these are convincing enough for you to continue onward with us.
First of all, Rahab the harlot being saved at the time of Joshua.; She was from Jericho and after helping the children of Yasharal to escape, she and her family were saved.
Jos 6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YAHUAH.
Jos 6:25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
And another famous account was when the Assyrians, the enemies of the children of Yasharal, were spared by Aluah after they repented. He had sent jonah to warn them and the entire city of Nineveh repented and YAHUAH spared (saved) them.
Jon 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Jon 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed Aluah, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Then when they repented?
Jon 3:10 And Aluah saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Aluah repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
See that? The wicked were spared because of repentance. Are you telling me today that the Gentiles will repent and the Most High will reject them?
Let’s see.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE SALVATION CONTROVERSY
To better understand, we have to go to the foundation of the salvation controversy. It all began with Solomon. After David had built up the kingdom of Yasharal (Israel) by uniting all 12 tribes, it was inherited by his son Solomon.
Unfortunately, in his latter days, Solomon fell into idolatry.
1Ki 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1Ki 11:2 Of the nations concerning which YAHUAH said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with YAHUAH his Aluah, as was the heart of David his father.
As a result, the Most High was angry with Solomon and pronounced this on him:
1Ki 11:9 And YAHUAH was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from YAHUAH Aluah of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
1Ki 11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which YAHUAH commanded.
1Ki 11:11 Wherefore YAHUAH said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
1Ki 11:12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
1Ki 11:13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
Hence, after Solomon’s death, the kingdom was split from his son Rehoboam into a northern and southern kingdom. Rehoboam retained the southern kingdom of Judah (also called the house of Judah), along with the tribe of Benjamin, and half the tribe of Levi, who were serving their duties as priests and Levites in Jerusalem.
The northern kingdom was comprised of the other 9 1/2 tribes and was led by Jeroboam the son Nebat of the tribe of Ephraim. The northern kingdom was also called several names, including, Israel or Ephraim or the house of Israel, or Joseph.
JEROBOAM CAUSES ISRAEL TO SIN
Now unfortunately, Jeroboam, in seeking to keep his kingdom, was moved to build two golden calves for his people to worship, to prevent them going down to Jerusalem.
1Ki 12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
1Ki 12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of YAHUAH at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
1Ki 12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.1Ki 12:29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
As a result of these idols, the house of Israel committed great sins against YAHUAH over time, so much so, that he decided to banish them from his sight. This he did in around 723-722 BC.
This plan to banish them was detailed in Hosea 1 and gives us insights to make us understand where the plan of salvation of the whole house of Israel (and by extension, the world) is coming from.
Hos 1:1 The word of YAHUAH that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea’s Wife and Children
Hos 1:2 The beginning of the word of YAHUAH by Hosea. And YAHUAH said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from YAHUAH.Hos 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
Hos 1:4 And YAHUAH said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Hos 1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Hos 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And Aluah said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Hos 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by YAHUAH their Aluah, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hos 1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Hos 1:9 Then said Aluah, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your Aluah.
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living Aluah.
Hos 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
HOUSE OF ISRAEL (NORTHERN KINGDOM) SENT INTO CAPTIVITY
That “divorce” (Jer 3:8) of Yasharal sent them away into captivity in Assyria, and from hence they have since been called the lost tribes of Israel.
So, they were sent away almost 700 years before the birth of Yahusha HaMashiach, and that is why he came.
YAHUSHA CAME TO REDEEM THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YASHARAL
Why he came? Note verse 10 above?
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living Aluah.
Yahusha came to redeem these lost tribes along with the rest of Judah, through remission of sins) and showing the world his light, which will shine a light on the torah so men can see it more clearly.
If you do not understand what that means, hopefully you will as this post continues. But let HaMashiach tell us why he came:
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahusha: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 10:5 These twelve Yahusha sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Act 5:30 The Aluah of our fathers raised up Yahusha, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Act 5:31 Him hath Aluah exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
That is why he said things like this:
Joh_10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
And why Sha’ul (Paul) said things like this when referring to Israelites:
Rom 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh HaMashiach came, who is over all, Aluah blessed for ever. So be it.
IS SALVATION ONLY FOR ISRAEL
So, is salvation only for Israel? That is the question.
The controversy over salvation is whether or not those verses above in the previous paragraph are exclusive, and hence omit all other nations. Does the fact that he came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel mean he came for no one else.
Hence this study is to show proof as to whether or not gentiles also have access to salvation, and to prove or disprove the rising Hebrew Israelite doctrine of Israel only can be saved.
So, we are going to start by showing salvation promised first to Judah, then Israel (the house of/former northern kingdom/lost tribes). Then we are going to see if Gentiles also have access to this great salvation of the whole house of Israel.
First, we look at Judah (Yahudah).
JUDAH SHALL GO FIRST: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
In the book of Hosea above, the Most High told us in Hosea 1:6 that: ” I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. “
However, what did he say about Judah in verse 7? “But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by YAHUAH their Aluah.”
That is why when HaMashiach was speaking with the woman of the well, he said this:
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Salvation is of the Jews?
Judah will be saved first!
That is why it is descendants of the house of Judah (like this writer) that were scattered in the west (Americas) in slavery that are leading this awakening. We were awakened first so we can awaken the rest of the world.
Zec 12:7 YAHUAH also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
Indeed, this is nothing new. Judah always goes first when the children of Yasharal are moving. Take a look;
Num_2:9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
Num_10:14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
Jdg_20:18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of Aluah, and asked counsel of Aluah, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And YAHUAH said, Judah shall go up first.
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SAVED NEXT
So Judah goes first, but Hosea 1:10 has to be fulfilled in the house of Israel who had been scattered.
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living Aluah.
Hence, the northern kingdom will be saved next, after Judah. Hence…
Eze 37:15 The word of YAHUAH came again unto me, saying,
Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Eze 37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
SALVATION FOR GENTILES?
Well, we have just proven the two obvious ones: the house of Judah and the house of Israel. These are the 12 tribes of Yasharal.
Now we come to the “toughie,” the difficult one, as the awakening has made us see the bible differently. Suddenly, we are being given more details that eluded us through the simplistic Christian teachings.
Getting more details though means more controversy and more insights are needed to solve the disparities.
So, again, is there salvation for Gentiles?
GENTILES SAVED BY FAITH
But let us begin with a little “teaser.” This is the account of the Gentile woman who accepted that she was a dog willing to eat the bread that falls from the master’s table.
Mat 15:21 Then Yahusha went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Master, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Mat 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Master, help me.
Mat 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Mat 15:27 And she said, Truth, Master: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Mat 15:28 Then Yahusha answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Yahusha granted her as she wished, because of her emunah (faith).
Now the big question is: “does this only mean gentiles can receive healing as they wished, and not salvation?”
That is what I hear from Hebrew Israelite apologetics. So, let’s continue so we can answer that question.
GENTILES SALVATION NEW TESTAMENT
Thus, to figure this out, we must us see what the law and the prophets have to say (Isa 8:20).
Hence, let us begin with Isaiah 11.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that YAHUAH shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Have you ever taken a good look at what those verses are saying? Let me summarize:
A root (descendant) of Jesse shall stand for (represent) an ensign (banner/flag/beacon/signal) of the people. Who are the people? The children of Yasharal. But guess what? The Gentiles shall seek this ensign of the people (of the Israelites).
And what’s more, he shall set up an ensign (banner/flag/beacon/signal) for the nations (Gentiles)!!! and at the same time, assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Yasharal.
What does this mean?
A LIGHT OF THE GENTILES
What it means should get clearer when we look at another prophecy that says Yahusha will be a light of the Gentiles.
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Isa 42:5 Thus saith Aluah YAHUAH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isa 42:6 I YAHUAH have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
First of all, it tells us that he will bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. These are the bad strangers, the profane, heathen. However, in Isaiah 42:6, he tells us that HaMashiach will be a covenant of the people (children of Israel) and also a light of the Gentiles!
What does that mean when you match it with Isaiah 11:10-12?
What does a light do? It brings light into darkness!
Joh_8:12 Then spake Yahusha again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The Gentiles were given the light of life! Speaking to Apostle Sha’ul, Yahusha said…
Act 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Act 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Hence the Gentiles were shown the light through whom there is life.
To make it absolutely clear, that this light is a positive milestone for the Gentiles, let us take a look at the meaning of the word “light” as used in Isaiah 42:6.
light
H216
אוֹר
‘ôr
ore
From H215; illumination or (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.): – bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Total KJV occurrences: 122
As you can see, a light of the Gentiles is illumination, lighting their way out of darkness (blindness/sin).
And continuing in Isaiah 42, he went on to tell us that he was doing something new through ?Yahusha. Giving him to be judgment to the Gentiles and a light to the Gentiles was never done before. See…
Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isa 42:8 I am YAHUAH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Notice in verse 7 it tells us:
“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. “
Now, that covenant of the people and light to light the Gentiles will open the blind eyes, bring the prisoners out of prison (bring the sinners out of sin) and bring those that sit in darkness (deception) out of their snare. that is salvation to the Gentiles.
This is something new through Yahusha HaMashiach, because Yahusha has come to MAGNIFY the law and make it honorable.
Isa 42:21 YAHUAH is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
HE SHALL BRING FORTH JUDGMENT TO THE GENTILES: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Now this is where it gets more interesting and where Isaiah 28:9-10 (precept must be upon precept…) reigns supreme. A reminder though, that this is how we prove the scriptural truth here, letting scripture lead us into the truth, not opinion leading us into our own opinion and hence our own conclusion.
Thus, take a look at Isaiah 42:1. Have you ever stopped to think what it means by “he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles?
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
At first glance and even reading this over and over, I thought it meant it would bring retribution, punishment on the Gentiles. But then, I remembered this verse below, and it blew my mind!
The verse is one we use very often to show that Gentiles were never given his word. It shows that his word was only given to the children of Yasharal.
Psa 147:19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Psa 147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation (GENTILES): and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye YAHUAH.
Notice though, in Psa 147:19, it says he sheweth his judgments unto Israel, and the nations (Gentiles) have not known his judgments. Guess what?
In Isaiah 42:1, he is giving a promise to shew these judgments to the gentiles! Look at the verse below:
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Now we are going to show proof below that as to what it means to bring forth judgment to a people.
Next look in Isaiah 51:4.
Isa_51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
His judgment will rest for a light! That means the judgment is nothing bad. Remember, darkness is bad, but light is good!
Now look at Isaiah 42. first, he shall show judgment to the Gentiles:
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Next in verse 6?
Isa 42:6 I YAHUAH have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
HaMashiach shall be a light of the Gentiles. There we have both judgment and light together as in Isaiah 51:4. What does that mean?
He will now show Gentiles his judgments as he has shown to Yasharal, the same judgments that David spoke about in Psalms 147:19-20!
Psa 147:19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Psa 147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
So in Psalm 147:19 where he said “he hath not dealt so with any nation (Gentiles), Isaiah 51:4 is telling us that now he will, through the Messiah whom he will send!
Psa 147:19 judgment unto Israel. Isa 42:1 judgment to the Gentiles.
It is the same thing!!! Judgment is not a negative there, but positive. Knowing his judgments means we will fear him and do that which is right, hence assuring our salvation!
You see, the bible is a mind-blowing book, when you get to understand it. It was written primarily to and for the children of Yasharal by the children of Yasharal. However, when the Gentiles take it and read it, they are made to think it is about them. That is because we were in captivity and it was the time of the Gentiles.
What is the significance? They had to believe it was about them so they could preserve it for us, so in the fulness of time, in our awakening and redemption, we would get the understanding.
When the children of Yasharal’s eyes are opened (Rom 11:25), they now realize it is about them and start getting to understand from the perspective of an Israelite.
However, most of us awaken with a religious spirit, seeking to setup great institutions in Babylon from which we profit through tithes and other donations (Paypal, Cashapp, etc.). Being self-seeking and at the same time seeking revenge on our oppressors, we are tempted to think that the Gentiles have no lot nor part.
However, on closer scrutiny, we see that there are messages in there with promises for Gentiles, but they are veiled.
Like Jonah when he was angry with YAHUAH and even ran away from his assignment to warn his enemies, so our people are refusing today to accept that their wicked oppressors can be saved.
Anyway, the bible was meant to be understood only for those who seek the Most High diligently with all their hearts. Not for those who are self-seeking.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to Aluah must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Thus, we cannot seek him partially, then set up a denomination when we believe we understand. That is what the Gentiles did with Christianity and sadly, that is what many of our brothers who call themselves Hebrew Israelites do today!
They are splitting from camp to camp, following the ways of the heathen.
Please note that this is not condemning our brothers. It is merely a heads up, that we were not instructed to be Hebrew Israelites. In fact, we did a teaching to show that even calling oneself Hebrew Israelite is an error, when we get to understand who are the Hebrews today.
Most Hebrew Israelites teach that we must return to obedience to Torah. What about teaching us to be like Yahusha in obedience to Torah? I have never seen any of the major Hebrew Israelite groups teach being like Yahusha, abiding in him, denying self, bearing his stake, being willing to suffer for his namesake, walking in holiness and peace.
But let me digress. It saddens my heart to see that new false religion that is flourishing among our people, adding to the false religion of Christianity, and like that religion, also leading many of our people into error.
Continuing?
All believers on the other hand, are called to follow the way (Acts 24:14-15), which is a path in which we are being led by Ruach HaQadosh, the Ruach emat (Spirit of truth), that will LEAD us into all truth (John 16:13).
But what is the way though?
Follow Yahusha HaMashiach (John 14:6) in obedience to Torah (Psa 119:142). Believing all things written in the law and in the prophets (Acts 24:14-15).
See also: John 15:4-6, 1 John 2:6, Rev 14:12, Rev 1:2, Rev 1:9, John 15:10.
By the way, we have an entire teaching on what it means to follow the way.
NEW TESTAMENT RENDERING OF ISAIAH 42
But let’s continue.
As if we needed more proof, Isaiah 42 tells us that HaMashiach will be a light to the Gentiles. But we get more understanding out of it by looking at how Isaiah 42 is rendered by HaMashiach in the new testament.
Remember, Isaiah 42 says Yahusha will MAGNIFY the law and make it honorable. So let’s see him magnify the law.
Mat 12:15 But when Yahusha knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Mat 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
Mat 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Mat 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Now look at Matthew 12:21. He said: “in his name shall the Gentiles trust.”
Now that puts a big spin on everything. “In bis name shall the Gentiles trust” replaces “for a light of the Gentiles.” It means the light that the Gentiles see will make them trust in that light.
The question is, have we ever seen anyone trust in YAHUAH and be let down? What happens to those who trust in him?
Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in YAHUAH, and whose hope YAHUAH is.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Isa_26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Pro_16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in YAHUAH, happy is he.
Psa_32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in YAHUAH, mercy shall compass him about.
So if the light is provided for Gentiles to trust in it, the same light of the people of Israel, will that light reject them from salvation? Remember, in Isaiah 49:6, it says this light will be his salvation to the end of the earth!
SALVATION THROUGH THE NAME IN WHICH THE GENTILES TRUST
Anyway, we looked at Matthew 12:21, in his name shall the Gentiles trust, focusing on the aspect of trust. But what about the name? What about trusting in his name?
Let’s see what the word says about trusting in this name:
Act_4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Do you see that? The name (Yahusha HaMashiach) in which the Gentiles trust is actually the saving name! Now I am not speaking about those Gentiles who follow a false Messiah that stands behind a false name.
I am speaking about the followers of the true Hebrew Messiah, who have been graffed in among the children of Yasharal.
ISAIAH 49 EXPLICITLY PROMISES SALVATION TO THE GENTILES!
It just keeps getting better for the Gentiles. In Isaiah 49:6, it tells us that the light to the Gentiles will bring them salvation!
Isa_49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
But the Hebrew Israelite will tell you that that “Gentiles” in Isa 49:6 is speaking of Israelites who had been scattered among the Gentiles. But not so fast.
Look at the verse carefully. Here are 3 critical points. HaMashiach will…
- Raise up the tribes of Jacob. The use of the word Jacob refers to the entire family, all 12 tribes. That means it already includes Israelites who are resident foreigners among the Gentiles!
- Restore the preserved of Israel: again refers to the entire 12 tribes as confirmation.
- A light to the Gentiles to be his salvation unto the end of the earth.
Summarize all three points and you will see it summarizes the whole world. It is salvation to the 12 tribes as well as the Gentiles! How?
Jacob refers to the whole 12 tribes. All Israelites, not northern or southern kingdom. All of it!
His salvation is available to the whole world, but redemption is only to Yasharal.
Eventually we will see what this really means.
CONCLUSION: WHAT IS SALVATION IN THE BIBLE?
What is salvation in the bible? If you are coming to our website for the first time, and not understanding the awakening of the children of Yasharal, you may just be shocked as to what the bible says. The meaning of salvation in the bible is totally different from what we were taught.
Almost all of us were taught through the false religion of Christianity, the religion that we were given by our oppressors, the children of Edom, who took us and held us captive.
Now we have awakened and seen a different perspective, the way of truth given by the Most High to his children, the chosen seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
