Paul's Mystery - Our True Identity in Messiah • Founded In Truth Ministries

In Romans 11:25, Paul declares a mystery concerning God's salvation. This mystery revolves around the gentiles obtaining salvation - and through them, all of Israel will be saved. How can this happen?

►►Our Vision◄◄
Founded In Truth exists to build a community that bears the image of God and lives the redeemed life Yeshua gives.
⬤⬤⬤The Three Pillars of our Community⬤⬤⬤
►►Yeshua◄◄
We are a community formed by the teachings, life, death, and resurrection of a rabbi from Nazareth named Yeshua (Jesus). It is through His spirit by which we find our common bond. Through the paradox of His death on the cross, we find the way to God’s love, the truth of all He is, and the life that only He can provide - one that is eternal. The gospel of Yeshua is the foundation for our community locally and beyond.
►►Family◄◄
If there is one thing we celebrate at Founded in Truth, it is family. Whether your household is small or large, local or far away, you are invited to take your place here with us. We thrive together to build up an atmosphere that shows forth God’s love in a very real way not just to be a fellowship but also to teach the children in the community what being an image bearer is all about.
►►Fellowship◄◄
We value each other. In the Beginning, God said it was not good for man to be alone. We were meant for fellowship, and we believe when we come together, we celebrate God’s goodness, promises, and grace. We know God has called our lives to intersect, so what better way to fulfill the command of scripture to love one another?

[@dianeovenden]

That is so interesting , thank you for all the work you put into that. A lot to pray on. God bless🙏🏻

[@FoundedInTruth]

We’re glad you are loving the messages, Diane! Thank you so much for the feedback !

[@annesimon537]

Yehovah is faithfull! I have been asking and praying and wondering where do gentiles fit in God's plan. This is an answer to my prayers. I don't remember where I found you but I feel you are led by Yehovah. Thanks for opening scripture for us. This is the BIG issue for me because I don't want to be among the lawless ones. Now I can go forward.

[@graftedingrace6594]

Matthew, thank you for the blessing of this teaching. Your lessons always come from a place of love and not division. Thank you for speaking the truth of God's eternal Word with love. Beautiful teaching.

[@jeanoscar552]

WOW...I'm surprised you know this truth...praise the Lord

[@tvgoodchild]

Thank you for this. Would you consider writing a book about this?

[@courtneybrad]

Matthew, I don't know how this video got one dislike but they must not understand. I will pray for that person. As for the video I thought it was a fantastic display of the entire Bible's meaning... What His plan is for us. Much better of a layout than I have done over the last three years. Even with me covering Abraham and how the Gentiles are grafted in... And showing a visual lol One, could I please have the PDF sent to me that you mentioned in the video? Two, though I happened to be one person that does believe, as of now, based on my deep historical studies, that Ephrayim is America(mixed) i do NOT believe nothing as far as blood, color skin, or anything of that sort makes you Israel. Three, I am so glad you covered The fullness of the Gentiles and the topic of Abraham being a Gentile himself and through him Gentiles are grafted in. As I said, you did a fantastic job and I truly believe you have been called to be a helper to His people. However, I was wondering if this might continue into a greater Exodus study also? Mine study did. I thought that you might at least have some speculation on it based on the fact that you mentioned the children are called to be pastors. Thank you for all your hard work. Many blessings to your ministry and your family! Shalom!

[@FoundedInTruth]

Truly encouraging words. Thank you. Shoot us an e-mail at [e-mail] and we can send you slides and the dissertation from Jason Staples. I have never seen this topic covered from someone with such an academic background - truly exciting. Currently, we don't have plans to expound on the greater exodus in a formal teaching. I do feel that God will be raising up pastors in every generation for the conclusion listed in Jer 23, but also cannot make the claim that this generation or the next is the "last". We will see, I suppose, lol Shalom, Matthew

[@courtneybrad]

Thank you for commenting back. I will send you an email now.

The Song of Moses …20He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation-children of unfaithfulness. 21They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding. 22For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains.…

[@macmillanruwa2354]

Its deep. Thankyou

[@Ratonc2]

Ok, I'm COMPLETELY on board having watched these three videos. Next Progression is, How does Circumcision fit in and why the confusion about what Paul said and did? Is that the next video?

[@FoundedInTruth]

LOL, Ryan White over at Rooted In Torah tackles this question with historical understanding in the 1st century. NT Wright, EP Sanders, and James Dunn seem to give a fantastic opinion in their thesis "A New Perspective of Paul".

[@Ratonc2]

+Founded In Truth Is the conclusion that circumcision is not made for Salvation but for obedience to the Covenant made with Abraham (ie conversion to partake in the Passover)?

[@mikeanderson4854]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! In YHWH! I have spent the last 30 years pilling back this mystery. Mostly because I am not the brightest verse in the book. But my heart was full of joy and tears when I watched your video. YHWH has his remnant ready and willing to take this message forward. Once you understand this mystery all of prophecy will explode for you. Since you, my brother are into reading books outside the box get your hands on the book "The United States and Britain and Prophecy" by Herbert W Armstrong. Even though I am not a advocate of his church "The Worldwide Church of God" In the same breath do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. YHWH used Armstrong to deliver the message you just taught 30 years ago. He basically followed two of Jacob's (Israel's) adopted Egyptian tribes Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48) I like you do not believe it is a blood or DNA but it is by faith in Yeshua . Read the 17 Chapter of Ezekiel carefully. “Notice, first, this prophetic message is addressed, NOT to Judah, the Jews, but to the house of Israel. It is a message to give light to the lost 10-tribed house of ISRAEL in these latter days!” Blessing

[@imagomonkei]

Regarding the land, I think we will still inhabit more land than just the geography of Israel. Yeshua said, "The meek shall inherit the earth." And when Paul quoted the fourth commandment in Ephesians 6, he changed "the land Yahweh your God is giving you" to "the earth".

[@elizabethprov2894]

שת בן־אברהם biblically, the land is much larger than what is currently occupied by the "nation" of Israel. It goes from the Sinai peninsula into Saudi Arabia, all the way over to the Euphrates and into Syria. There will be plenty of land for all of us:)

[@rekucc]

Excellent teaching as usual. Love it!

[@Richards.A.]

Amazing!!!!thank you. Always looking for the emphasis of the importance of our Messiah!

[@flamingrobin5957]

"the fullness of the gentiles" durring the church age before God turns back and grafts national israel back it.

[@flamingrobin5957]

i agree with your teaching on ALL ISRAEL but i disagree with your teaching on "THE FULLNESS OF GENTILES" which has nothing to do with "ISRAEL"

[@flamingrobin5957]

with all due respect in Christ Jesus the Lord young preacher. it dishonors the head to cover your head as a man when preaching. see scripture and meditate on my words. its proper reverence to uncover your head as a man in prophecying

[@flamingrobin5957]

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN. GENTILES WERE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES, THE NEW COVENANT TO ISRAELITES IN THE FLESH IS THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART. GENTILES ARE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES NAD DONT HAVE THE LAW THEY HAVE A CONSCIENCE AND THE NEW NATURE in Christ by the holy Spirit

[@EnricoScacchia]

- 1.Corinthians 11/4+7 prohibits a man to cover his head.

[@FoundedInTruth]

Hey Enrico, You realize the priests were commanded by God to cover theirs. Paul is addressing the Imperial Cult spreading throughout Rome - It was common for Roman priests followers to cover their heads with their togas during prayer. Paul did not want that imagery when Romans were walking past homes in which the Ekklessia were operating.

[@EnricoScacchia]

Founded In Truth - The commandments of the OldTestament are no more applicable(Hebrew 9) except,they are repeated in the New ("Love your next"for example). - The contrary for the women,who must cover the head. - I am convinced,that you know that,but you like to live like a jew,that is forbidden in letter to the Galatians.

[@FoundedInTruth]

So the Sabbath is still applicable because it is in the NT - and laws forbidding rape are no longer applicable due to their absence in the NT? Interesting hermeneutics you have here.

[@EnricoScacchia]

Founded In Truth - Acts 20/7 : the Disciples came the first day of the week together. - The word "rape" we find in Matt.20/25. - Love your next / or,rape the woman of your neighbor? - And we have Col.2/16,nobody must keep the Sabbath.

[@FoundedInTruth]

Nope - no anti-rape commandment directly found in the NT. If you are asserting that loving your neighbor is synonymous with not raping them - I would agree. But this logic counters your original statement above. I would recommend putting in more time studying the context of Acts 20 and Col. If Yeshua kept the Sabbath - shouldn't we? Or is His example not what we should be following? There exist no 1st century manuscripts that dictate a sudden change in Sabbath observance. Even newer translations of the Didache confirm that Christians continued keeping it until war broke out in Judea and Roman attitudes towards Jews became so negative, the church in Rome was willing to change the commandments of God so as to not be associated with the Judeans. Jesus never gave such command nor example. Commandments such as taking the Lord's name in vain, not making graven images, and Sabbath are still valid today according to Jesus' example. To state otherwise simply because He did not mention them in the gospels seems like a straw man argument. Your assertion concerning chunks (whatever you deem unworthy) of God's commandments being eliminated in the NT counters modern Christian scholarship such as James Dunn, EP Sanders, and NT Wright who all agree Paul never asserted commandments in the Torah were "done away with". These are the leading scholars of the NT taught in modern Christian universities and seminaries. You should check them out sometime. James Dunn's "New Perspective of Paul" would be something you enjoy, I believe. Shabbat Shalom :)

[@flamingrobin5957]

the mystery of the dispensation of grace and the mystery of the one new man(body of Christ) is neither jew or gentile in one body. THE CHURCH IS NOT ISRAEL AND ISRAEL IS NOT THE CHURCH they are ONE NEW MAN FROM THE TWO. israelites in the flesh and gentiles in the flesh is the term paul uses. The church is NOT refered to as ISRAEL.
