Yirmeyahu Ben-David

Atonement in the Biblical New Covenant Yirmeyahu Ben-David

Beginning from the ground-breaking work (published by Oxford) of the modern authority on Dead Sea Scroll (4Q) MMT, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Prof. Elisha Qimron, Paqid Yirmeyahu carefully documents and demonstrates the development and state of 1st century C. E. Judaism, particularly Jews' relations with non-Jews in Judea under the Hellenist Roman occupation. Atonement In the Biblical 'New Covenant' (ABNC) demonstrates the concept of 'New Covenant' kipur as understood and taught by its chief expositor in Tanakh, Yirmeyahu ha-Navi (the Prophet; 31.30-33)-centuries before the advent of Christian displacement theology: "I will place My Torah [not anything different nor superseding] within them"-"them" being explicitly defined as Jews (and geirim) who do their utmost to live according to Torah; not goyim. Prior to the Christian (and later, Muslim) apostasies of displacement theology, kipur was defined as purely the graciousness of Y--H (ha-Sheim), undiluted by Egypto-Hellenist idolatry. In Torah, ha-Sheim promises kipur exclusively to Jews (and geirim) who do their utmost to live according to the precepts of Torah-"with all your heart and with all your nephesh (psyche, soul)." Even for these, kipur was granted only upon teshuvah (ceasing transgressing and making repentance) from any transgressions of Torah. Any addition is a transgression prohibited by Torah and, therefore, cannot be the teaching of the Mashiakh defined by-and dependent for authenticity upon-Torah. Check any encyclopedia to confirm what happened in "Aelia Capitolina" after the Romans crushed the Bar-Kokhva Revolt in 135 C. E. and when the gentile Hellenist Romans ousted the 15th and last contiguous Netzarim Paqid, replacing him with the 1st gentile "episkopos" (pope / bishop). Those who rely on the Greek "New Testament" supposedly superseding (displacing) Torah, syncretized by Egypto-Hellenist idolators espousing their developing Horus-Zeus-based God-man idol, inherit their fate: the fate of those who expelled and usurped the Netzarim and other Jews, burned our Torahs, Hellenized Yerushalayim; displacing Torah with their evolving native Egypto-Hellenist Horus-Zeus-Jesus god-man idol. ABNC informs you in the 1st-century relationship between Torah kipur, Jews, geirim, "God-Fearers" and goyim-enabling you to obtain Torah kipur. Relying on definitions and concepts introduced in WAN (the first of our 3 basic books series), the 16th Netzarim Paqid, Yirmeyahu (Ben-David), demonstrates in ABNC the understanding of the Torah-defined (instead of4th century Hellenist-Roman idolators defined) 'New Covenant' throughout the 1st-century Judean community in which historical Ribi Yehoshua taught Jews (and geirim) in synagogues-not goyim in churches. This is the defining Netzarim primer on "salvation," and the follow-up book to WAN, the second (of 3) required text in our Khavruta series.
