Anticipating a coming article hinted at in various places in this site, let us give a brief appetizer.
Hosea 6:1 “Come, let us a return to Yahwéh…
He will heal us…He will bandage us…He will restore us…
7 For I [Yahwéh] desire steadfast love and not [bloody animal] sacrifice;
the experience of Elohiym [God] rather than burnt offerings [of animal flesh and blood].
7 But like Adam they [Ephraim-Israel, Judah, the other nations, and their priests] transgressed The Covenant;
there they dealt deceitfully with me... 9b the priests band together to murder on the way to Shechem;
One should especially note what the Eternal Creator, who does not change, does and does not desire.
Secondly, since the word “Covenant” is not used in the Bible until it is confirmed with Noah and the Animals, and is called, The Everlasting Covenant, long after Adam’s death, “What Covenant did Adam transgress?” Obviously the Prophet Hosea is teaching us that:
Adam and Eve, transgressed The Everlasting Covenant (Agreement) — that is, The Spoken-Words of The Creator (John 1:1) that set in motion our environment and existence and laid the foundational instructions of natural law that we were to live by—those that were stated both explicitly and implicitly (Gen 1:1 – 2:3; 2:4 – 3:24; 9:16; Isaiah 24:5; 6). Symbolized by the fruit of two trees — one of Life and Good and one of Death and Bad, they transgressed by eating the one that brought Death and Bad (Evil).
The “P” text of Genesis 6:11 describes the progression of matters after Adam transgressed:
11 “And the earth was corrupt before Elohiym (God), and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And Elohiym looked [in review] upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt – for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.”
Though new realities were set in motion by their transgression, there was no rescission of The Word of The Everlasting Covenant.
GHT 51:1 THEN Yeshúa said to those Judæans that trusted in him, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
Virtually all flesh – mankind and animals corrupted themselves from the original good-order of the Creator, and in violence began to kill and eat one another and in a distorted mindset attempted to appease and obtain favor from “God(s)” with animal and human blood. Yeshúa said:
6 And what does The Eternal command you but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your Elohím? Is it not written that in the beginning Elohím ordained the fruits of the trees and the seeds and the herbs to be food for all flesh? 7 But they have made the House of Prayer ‘a den of thieves’ [Jer 7:11], and for the pure Oblation with Incense, they have polluted my altars with blood, and eaten of the flesh of the slain. 8. But I say to you, shed no innocent blood nor eat ye flesh. Walk uprightly, love mercy, and do justly, and your days shall be long in the land.
The Gospel of the Holy Twelve (GHT) 33:6-8
Complicating and confusing matters further, as their is also ancient testimony, that the records were altered by a deviant Aharonic priesthood, both the northern Samaritans and southern Judeans. They altered their texts or their interpretations of it, to normalize such corrupt behavior — texts, such as those about Cain and Abel, Noah, and Abraham. But, the truth is still present to perceive if we can get past the control narratives we inherited. We have reconstructed and returned several to their harmonious and coherent continuity with the original instructions of Genesis One.
The Everlasting Covenant
The Everlasting Covenant with its Decrees and Teachings of good-order, applied to all and was passed down from the beginning of creation. It was disdained by Cain and that led to perversion and disaster under rebellious Angels and their hybrid offspring. It was renewed under the priesthood of Noah, and passed down from his sons, especially Shem, Eber (Eberi = the Hebrews; The Hebrews spread it to other nations as well); But, a particular line of Melchizedekian–Hebrew transmission was singled out to be a universal example to teach others in The Way of (Genesis 18:18, 19; 26:5; Jubilees 24:11).
In line with the Everlasting Covenant, its’ decrees and teachings, the Earth was divided among Noah’s sons by mutual agreement. The Land of Israel was a portion of a larger land inheritance divided out to the descendants of Noah’s son, Shem. But, according to the the Book of Jubilees, it was unlawfully occupied by Canaan (son of Ham) and his descendants and called Canaan. It was gradually returned to a faithful line of Shemites: to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) and his offspring – the 12 Tribes of Israel, but also would include the Foreigners and Gerim (strangers) who were lawfully absorbed into each tribe.
The Eberim (Hebrews) passed “The Way” of the Everlasting Covenant on to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob along with their promised Land heritage. Later, the same Covenant was nationally renewed with the Tribes through Moses as Mediator. They were nationally organized and prepared to take possession of their Land heritage. It took 40 years of preparation under Moses and his successor, Joshua ben Nun who led them into the Land after the death of Moses.
After the era of Moses, Joshua, and the Elders (of the Book of Joshua), there was a problematic period of decline that lasted centuries (Judges thru 2 Kings), with positive and negative times. There was likely a rivalry between the school/company/sons of the Prophets” (1Samuel 5:5-13; 19:19-24; 2Kings 2:5; 4:1, 38-44) and the deviating Aharonic priesthood (as portrayed by Eli and his sons, who incorporated the ideology of foreign bloody rituals into their services and writings. The Prophet Samuel set a powerful reform into motion and anointed David as King. David returned the Ark of the Covenant lost under Eli–not back into the Temple but into a Tent where it remained for decades. This was a significant time when David wrote most of his Psalms and made music to Yahwéh instead of offering bloody animal sacrifices. However, centuries after their deaths, the deviant priesthood rebounded and made permanent alterations to the scriptural records that are with us to this day.
Notice this verse from Galatians 3:19 ;
“The Law was added until “The Seed” should arrive to whom the promise was made …“
Now notice it with brackets filling in the meaning:
[The Everlasting Covenant was carried forward from Creation, from Adam through to Moses.] The Law [Code of deviant priests] was added [attached to it] until “The Seed” [Yeshúa], should arrive to whom the promise was made… [It was made first, in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15), and further to Abraham, to Moses, to David, and the Prophets. Their additions were temporarily permitted and tolerated because of the callousness of the peoples’ hearts. But from The Beginning, this bloody butchery was not commanded nor condoned!]
Out of the many ancient records passed down to and maintained by Scribes of the Levites and the School of the Prophets, a narrowed Narrative (Readers’ Digest Version) was written and variously supplemented sometime between the death of Solomon and the Babylonian Exile and spanning Genesis 2:4 through 2Samuel 5:10. It was supplemented further and edited by Aharonic Priests and others during and/or after the reign of Hezekiah and/or Josiah and during the Babylonian Exile. This process is known as JEPD or EJPD, depending on how one orders the four main authors and the presuppositions that they carried forward. See, The Supplementary Hypothesis.
In short, by the end of the Persian Empire and beginning of the Greek Empire, The Northern Samaritan and Southern Judean priesthoods, in rivalry, each had created their own version of the Mosaic Law, which culminated with “The 5-Books of Moses” and an edited historical narrative (Joshua thru 2Kings). This, their amended and augmented Law, that Yeshúa called, “Your Law”, fraudulently legalized their blood cults, as if authorized by Moses. Jeremiah called this the lying pen of the scribes. (Jer 7:8; 8:8) (We will publish how this likely took place at a future date. [1]The Documentary and Supplementary Hypothesis’ of the Construction of the Hebrew Tanakh or Old Testament.

So then, the priority is to read, digest, and conform to, The Gospel of the Holy Twelve, for it is the original Gospel of The Master, Yeshúa the Netsar (Guardian), the Messiah — the son of Joseph and Mary. What is most important is that, he, The Elect One, was foretold to Enoch, Moses, and the Prophets and is greater than they—he has given us the higher law to obey, which was partially edited out of the shortened 4-Gospels of the New Testament. He, as such, by receiving and reasserting the original Everlasting Covenant, he pronounced the nullification and end of their priestly temple butchery and their covenant with death.
He publicly announced that the end of that era/age would come within that generation (30-70 AD). At its end in 70 AD, the Herodian Temple was destroyed as he had foretold and as it was anticipated throughout the Netsarian Testimony. But, the Everlasting Covenant was standing, renewed and operative — A New Covenant made with the Elect from House of Israel and the House of Judah and the Nations who embraced it. And, the full effects of that New Covenant that the prophets predicted, will eventually come to pass. The Original Gospel has been discovered and can be read on this site. I suggest you read and digest it as the priority.
Isaiah 24:5; 6 The Earth also is polluted under its habitants, because they have transgressed the Teachings, violated the Decree, and broken the Everlasting Covenant. Therefore the curse has devoured the Earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty.
BUT
“And from the stock of Jesse, there shall come forth a Shoot, a Branch (a Netsar: A Guardian of the Everlasting Covenant, its’ Decrees and Teachings)…And the Spirit of shall rest upon him…And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb…for the earth will be full of the knowledge of , as the waters cover the sea…I, , will give you (the Netsar) as a Covenant to the people, as a light to the nations…Those who shall be of you shall be called…’Restorer of paths to walk in’…Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
Isaiah 11:1; 6; 9; 42:6; 58:12; 2:4
