The Ten Words

 "Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee"

The above ten words are what saves us as new covenant Israelites. When so-called Christians and Messianics talk about the ten words, they are usually referring to the 10 commandments. They say we are to live by these ten words for salvation. However, this is not true as the new testament clearly shows. The ten words that we are to live by in the new covenant are the very ones quoted above. They come from Psalm 2:7. We can actually prove from scripture that Psalm 2:7 is the commandment that save us in the new covenant:

1 John 3:23-24

23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

The commandment that Jehovah has given His people in the new covenant is to be believe on the name of His Son, Jehoshua Messiah. The commandments of Jehovah God in the new testament are not the 10 commandments, but rather they are the 10 words of Psalm 2:7. We see this concept elsewhere regarding believing on the name of the Son of God to be saved:

John 3:16-18

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. 18 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Jehovah God sent His only begotten Son, Jehoshua, to the world (Israel). Whosoever, Israelite or Gentile, would be saved by believing on the Son of God. Keep in mind, there are other "Jehoshua's" that Paul warns against, so the "Jehoshua' we must believe on is the one who is Jehovah's only begotten Son.

Verse 18 of John 3:16 says that we must believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God to have eternal life. Notice, that in this verse, it doesn't say believe in Jehoshua but rather to believe on his name. That is significant because it's the name of the "only begotten Son" that we need to believe on to have eternal life. The phrase "begotten Son" or "only begotten Son" refers back to Psalm 2:7. In other words, we are required to believe in the Ten Words of Psalm 2:7 in order to be saved. 

1 John 4:8-9

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

The majority of the so-called Church doesn't know the love of Jehovah God. Why is this? Because they deny that Jehoshua is the literal only begotten Son of Jehovah God and that he was sent by Jehovah God to be the ransom sacrifice for the world.

1 John 4:15

"Whosoever shall confess that Jehoshua is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God."

Those who confess that Jehoshua is the Son of God have the indwelling Jehovah in them. The distinction between the title 'Son of God" and "God the Son" is vital in terms of who Jehoshua is in identity. 

The phrase "God the Son" is not found in scripture, whereas "Son of God" is absolutely found in scripture and has prophetic significance. That prophetic significance is found in Psalm 2:7, i.e. the Ten Words.

1John 5:1

"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him."

What does it mean for Jesus to be the "Christ"? Most Christians have made this title into a generic one, whereas scripture identifies it as being of the royal seed of David. In other words, it's a title of Kingship. The very chapter that the Ten Words are located in proves this point;

Psalm 2:1-2

1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying

The anointed mentioned in verse 2 is David. Throughout the old testament, the royal seed of David is referred to as Jehovah's "anointed", which is rendered as "Christ" in the new testament.

Just as the Davidic King was Jehovah's "Christ", he was also Jehovah's begotten Son. Those who love Jehovah God also love Jesus, who was begotten by Jehovah God. Both these titles of "Christ" and "begotten Son" are rooted in the Ten Words of Psalm 2:7. Those who acknowledge Jesus as the Davidic King, now reigning, our begotten by Jehovah God.

1 John 5:5

"And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

He who overcomes the world believes in the Ten Words, which is that Jehoshua is the begotten Son of Jehovah God (Psalm 2:7).

1 John 5:10-13

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son. 11 And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. 13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.

To believe on the Son of God is a slightly different connotation than believing in him. To believe on the Son of God is to believe what that title "Son of God" means. The meaning of this title is found in Psalm 2:6-7, which shows us the that phrase "Son of God" is equated with being the Davidic King of Israel. We must believe on the name (identity, character and authority) of the Son of God in order to have eternal life.

It's the name "Son of God" that's important to believe on and not the pronunciation of the actual name of the Son. A "name" in the Israelite culture represents the identity, character and authority of a person. The name "only begotten Son of God" in identity is that one is truly Jehovah's Son. The authority of that name is in the Royal Davidic Kingship that the "name" represents. It's also to believe it in the righteous character of the begotten King. 

1 John 5:20-21

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 [My] little children, guard yourselves from idols

The apostles believed that Jehoshua was the Son of God not God. Jehoshua came to reveal the character of his Father, Jehovah God. John the apostle identifies Jehovah as  the true God and that we as Israelites are in covenant with Him. By being in covenant with Jehovah God, we thereby are in covenant with His Son, Jehoshua Messiah. 

The identity of Jehoshua is crucial to having  the right doctrine and being in the right covenant. Identifying Jehoshua as God instead of the Son of God prevents you from entering into the new covenant and also makes you an idolater. Jehoshua's Sonship is rooted in the Ten Words of Psalm 2:7.
