HHMI ~ Yeshua From Gen to Rev ~ Pt 15 ~ The Jerusalem Ruling of Acts 15

In this session, we take a look at the Jerusalem ruling that was given in Acts 15 and how that relates to the uniting of the 12 tribes of Israel. The uniting of the 12 tribes of Israel is referred to as the “restoring of the tabernacle of David.” A matter of controversy arose between Paul/Barnabus and the Pharisees.The controversy was this: What do we do with these non-Jews coming into the faith? How do we receive them into the fold? The Pharisees basically wanted them to go through a “conversion process” of converting to Judaism, (which means you are going to follow the Oral law/Talmud) and then as a “sign” that you have converted, you were to get physically circumcised. Paul and Barnabus strongly disagreed. They taught that the weightier matter was to be circumcised in heart and then to follow the written Torah of Yeshua. Paul and Barnabus took this matter to a council of elders/apostles in Jerusalem to get a ruling on the matter. In doing so, they were following the Torah. How is this ruling related to the prophecy of Amos 9:11? In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old. James is saying that those who are coming to know Yeshua as Messiah and are now following His Torah are in the process of fulfilling the prophecy of Amos 9:11. This is part of the process of restoring the kingdom of Israel into a REUNITED kingdom.
