Thoughts on Righteousness 1st Tishrei 6007

Yaua has laid on my heart the vision of establishing Faith Learning Centres all over the earth. The origin of this vision comes from Jeremiah chapter 5. There it states that Yaua tells Jeremiah to run to fro in the streets of Jerusalem to see if he could find any one doing mishpat (justice in Hebrew) and seeking after emunah (faith in Hebrew). If he were to find one man doing mishpat and seeking emunah Yaua promised to pardon the whole city. It is clear from the passage that mishpat and emunah, justice and faith/ faithfulness are key and fundamental to Yaua's administration of his forgiveness on earth. When Yaua is looking at the cities of the earth he is clearly looking for mishpat and emunah. They being so important gives us an imperative to understand what they are and practice them. In order that we may practice them we must learn what they are or be taught them. Thus was born the concept of faith learning centres.
These centres are envisaged as places where faith and righteous justice will be applied to all area of life. The Faith Learning Centres are envisaged as the House of Yaua or Beit Yaua, for in them it is his mishpatim and his emunah which will be explored. Faith is so fundamental to the life of the righteous that Habukuk was given the revelation "The righteous shall live by his faith" or "beemunato yihyeh ha tzadiq". The Tzadiq shall live by his faith. We are also told in the New Testament that "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our emunah" So the victory over the kosmos (world) is faith.
We ought to note that the Holy Spirit when teaching the Apostle John could have used many different words to indicate what it was that overcame the world. But he simply chose emunah or pistos in Greek. Thus we see that all of the world's success and lies and tribulations and challenges are overcome in emunah or faith. Thus the faith learning centre can effect victories in the fields of education, politics, economy, hard sciences, social sciences, history, Maths etc, in all the areas which men live, if the righteous wants to have victory he needs to focus on faith applied in each and every particular area which the kosmos (the world) is involved in.
When I pondered what educational fields should the Faith Learning Centres be involved in a number of scriptures came to mind. The first was that of Isaiah 2. Where we are told the nations will no longer be educated in war but will learn of the ways of Yaua from Yaua in the mountain of Yaua's house. We see then that in these least days Beit Yaua is the centre of education for all nations. And in these days it is Yaua who will teach the nations his ways. They will seek him out to learn of his ways and to walk in his paths. The Torah or Instruction will go from Zion and the Davar Yaua or the word of Yaua from Jerusalem. Thus the centre of the world's education in the last days will be Jerusalem and Zion. Thus it is imperative the Faith Learning Centres are focussed on learning from Jerusalem and the vision for the centres was given in Jerusalem. The teacher is Yaua and clearly it will be the one who leads us into all truth who will teach all the nations that is the Holy Spirit.
This process of Yaua educating the nations in his ways is to take place in the context of Yaua's justice. He will judge the nations and rebuke many nations. Having rebuked them thay will begin to turn their spears into pruning hooks and their swords into ploughshares. Thus we see a process of reeducation taking place at the instigation of Yaua. They will not learn war any more, thay will change their ways and begin to learn Yaua's ways. They will first begin to stop lifting swords against one another and afterwards they will stop learning milchamah (war). The Faith Learning Centre Beit Yaua movement is part of the Holy Spirit's education plan for the nations. We will begin to practice that alternative education which will be needed in the days to come when the world will be full of righteousness. We are told very clearly that this present age is reserved for fire even as the last one was reserved for water. The world to come after the fire will be a world in which righteosness dwells as opposed to sin. The fundamental root of the world to come and the tendency is righteousness whilst that of the present age is sin. The sin will be burnt away and the righteousness constitution will replace the sin constitution. The sinful nature is replaced by the righteous nature. We in the Church are the righteoueness of God in Christ Jesus and this righteousness is the fundamental root in the world after the fire.
The Faith Learning Centre movement builds on these fundamentals. Yaua Tzidkenu is the name not only of out saviour Jesus Christ but of the city which he builds. Righteousness then is fundamental to education in the Faith Learning Centre and will be the grounds upon which Yaua will judge mankind. They will each community, be judged in the light of his righteosness and justice will then be executed. Jesus will be the main judge in that time and he will be assisted by the saints. Those who have be sanctified by faith in Yeshua. That is us in the Church. THis we can take up at another time.
