spirit<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p><p>Way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shalom-everlasting.com\/staging\/scripture-daily-reading-plan\/chronicles2-21-24\/\">back in 2 Chronicles 24, we did a post where we listed some of the recorded deaths of Prophets that were martyred (click here to read more).<\/a> Yeshua said in Matthew 23:37, &#8220;O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, <strong>thou that kill the prophets,<\/strong> and stone them which are sent unto thee&#8221;. 2 Chronicles 24:19 says, \u201cYet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto YHWH; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.\u201d<\/p><p>The world simmers in pride, and hearing simple truths like there is a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Creator and a Father, and we have to be obedient with a humble heart<\/span>.. <strong>just doesn&#8217;t gel with the majority<\/strong>. So much so.. they will be out to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">hate, slander, destroy and kill<\/span>. That is the path one have to walk, it is a really humbling path. But also heart breaking. When we read about how these people executed Stephen, it should be a reminder and a wake up call to <strong>what level people can go to<\/strong>. And not just individuals, but groups of people can be stirred up into a killing mode, and think they have the right to do so. This is exactly <strong>what the Torah (Laws) taught against<\/strong>. Torah teaches that there have to be fair witnesses when accusing someone, and even Refugee camps were set up for people to escape, where they were not allowed to be killed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shalom-everlasting.com\/staging\/scripture-daily-reading-plan\/tag\/refugee\/\">Click here to read previous posts on Refugees.<\/a><\/p><p>We don&#8217;t even know of all the disciples that were killed, we only have a handful of recordings of some horrible deaths. Like John the Baptist, who was <strong>beheaded<\/strong> by King Herod in Matthew 14:1-12 and Mark 6:14-29. James, son of Zebedee was the first apostle recorded to be <strong>martyred<\/strong>. The Bible mentions his execution in Acts 12:1-2, &#8220;He (King Herod) had James, the brother of John, <strong>put to death with the sword<\/strong>&#8220;. Here in Acts 6:8-8:1 we read about the powerful sermon Stephen gives to the Sanhedrin (the Jewish high court), condemning the Jewish leaders for their <strong>persecution<\/strong> of prophets and their <strong>betrayal<\/strong> and <strong>murder of Yeshua<\/strong>. Enraged, the crowd dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death, with witnesses and Saul (who was a Pharisee at the time) standing by and <strong>giving their approval<\/strong>.<\/p><p>As a matter of fact, <strong>killing was so common and became a norm in Yeshua&#8217;s time, that they had mass crucifixions<\/strong>. It is recorded that the Roman general Varus <strong>crucified<\/strong> 2,000 Jews in 4 BC to punish slaves, disgraced soldiers, political activists, and rebels, including those involved in the revolt led by Spartacus, where <strong>6,000 were crucified<\/strong> in 71 BC. The figure of people crucified on crosses and stakes, could be over 300,000, with some estimates suggesting over two million over the entire Roman period.<\/p><p>For those who were killed as prophets and disciples, we do not know the figure, but we <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">know they are many<\/span>. We read about them twice in Revelation.. Chapter 6:9-10, &#8220;And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar <strong>the souls of them that were slain for the word of YHWH<\/strong>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">and for the testimony which they held<\/span>. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Adonai, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?&#8221; And again in Revelation 20:4, &#8220;And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them, and I saw <strong>the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yeshua<\/strong>, and for the word of YHWH, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1101\"

me<\/strong>?&#8221;<\/p><p>In Acts 9 we read about the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>great and sudden shift of &#8220;Saul the disciple slanderer and killer&#8221; to &#8220;Saul the disciple&#8221;.<\/strong> <\/span>These two are so different in passion, that everybody was very suspicious and not sure what to make of this. The Jews who loved this &#8220;Yeshua-followers-persecuting-Saul&#8221;, suddenly hated him for standing up for Yeshua and His disciples. The followers of Yeshua <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">thought this is a new tactic to be able to execute them.<\/span> Saul was suddenly in a <strong>hot spot, Jerusalem<\/strong>. And therefor, for his own safety, the Apostles decided to send Saul to Tarsus, his hometown, which is located in modern-day Turkey. Later, a different group of apostles, specifically Barnabas, brought Saul to Antioch, and together they were sent on missionary journeys throughout the Roman Empire to places like Syria, Cyprus, and Asia Minor.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saul or Paul?<\/span><br \/>We read in Acts 13:9 &#8220;<strong>But Saul, also known as Paul<\/strong>&#8220;. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saul was not given a new name<\/span>; he <strong>had both a Jewish\/Hebrew name (Saul) and a Roman\/Latin name (Paul) from birth<\/strong>, which was a common practice at the time. The change from &#8220;Saul&#8221; to &#8220;Paul&#8221; in the Acts of the Apostles reflects the shift in his ministry <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">from ministering to Jews to primarily ministering to Gentiles<\/span> in the Roman world. It was a strategic choice to use his Roman name for easier communication and relatability with a Gentile audience. The Greek name is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/g4569\/kjv\/tr\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saulos G4569<\/a> &#8211; saulos or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/g4549\/kjv\/tr\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">G4549 &#8211; saoul<\/a>, meaning &#8220;<strong>desired<\/strong>&#8220;, which is used in the first half of Acts. But from Chapter 13 we read the shift to the <strong>Latin name <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/g3972\/kjv\/tr\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/g3972\/kjv\/tr\/0-1\/\"> or Paulos G3972<\/a> &#8211; paulos, meaning &#8220;small or little&#8221;. The greek name <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saulos is a translation of the Hebrew name <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h7586\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saul<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h7586\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\"> H7586 &#8211; \u0161\u0101&#8217;\u00fbl<\/a>, also meaning &#8220;desired&#8221;. The root Hebrew word is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h7592\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sa&#8217;al H7592 &#8211; \u0161\u0101&#8217;al<\/a>, which means <strong>to ask or require from.<\/strong> The first King, before David, was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">King Saul<\/span>, and he also had quite a reputation. What is also interesting, is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the name Saul in the Hebrew letters (without the vowels, called nikkudot &#8211; the dots and dashes),<\/span> are <strong>the exact same word<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h7585\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheol H7585 &#8211; \u0161\u1d4a&#8217;\u00f4l,<\/a> which is called the underworld, where souls go to rest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shalom-everlasting.com\/staging\/scripture-daily-reading-plan\/tag\/sheol\/\">Click here for previous posts about how interesting Sheol really is, and the mistranslation of &#8220;hell&#8221;.<\/a><\/p><p>This split between Saul and Paul, was not just evident in his name, but <strong>spiritually<\/strong> also. Reading the rest of Acts, it <strong>seems Saul\/Paul is saying and acting two ways<\/strong>. The biggest arguments and controversies were about circumcision and the laws, which was an issue between Jewish-followers and Roman-followers of Yeshua; and about the Resurrection of Yeshua, which was an issue between the Pharisees and Sadduccees. It is <strong>these two arguments that got Paul in big trouble<\/strong>, and which had him beaten, even stoned at one point, and in custody for protection for many years. In Acts 21:15-26 we read how Paul is confronted again by Yeshua&#8217;s followers about the laws, and that Paul then goes and proves that he is a follower of the law by making purification sacrifices in verse 26. There is this <strong>constant split where Paul have to prove himself to both Jew and Roman<\/strong>. In Acts 26:24, the Roman governor Festus even shouts at Paul, &#8220;You are out of your mind! <strong>Your great learning is driving you insane<\/strong>&#8220;. This was the problem, <strong>Paul was so highly educated, that when he tries to explain things, it sometimes goes right over peoples&#8217; heads.<\/strong> Remember, he received a rigorous Jewish education in the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Laws of Torah (1), but also the extra laws of the Pharisees (2), as well as the Roman laws (3!)<\/span> &#8211; which is evident in his question-and-answer style of teaching. <strong>He was considered an intellectual genius, with great confidence and great speaker abilities, knowing how to use words in arguments<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Peter ends his letters in 2 Peter 3 with a warning about how to understand Paul, &#8220;about our dear brother Paul, <strong>according to the wisdom given to him<\/strong>, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in <strong>which are some things hard to understand,<\/strong> which <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>untaught\/ignorant and unstable (not strong in faith and the word) people twist to their own destruction<\/strong><\/span>, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.&#8221; Paul sure had enemies on both side of the fences, the followers of Yeshua and the Pharisees. But like Peter says, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">it is not the fact that we are not as intellegent like Paul that makes his letters hard,<\/span> <strong>but if we don&#8217;t understand (taught) the Torah and have our faith rooted (being stable) in Scripture,<\/strong> then we will be easily thrown off course with people who use Pauls&#8217; letters to their own agendas &#8211; which then <strong>would seem like it contradicts the Laws\/Torah of YHWH.<\/strong> Paul didn&#8217;t bring a new religion, and neither did Yeshua. People used Pauls&#8217; letters to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>twist into a different religion<\/strong><\/span> which was followed by Yeshua&#8217;s followers. This is why it is so important to go back to Genesis 1, and not just read the Scriptures, but <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">really study them to understand it&#8217;s meaning. The Laws were not there to punish, but to teach.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details
