CHAPTER 9
PEACE WITH GOD
The majority of Israel’s leaders and citizens
rejected the kingdom Jesus offered. They
also rejected Him as the Sar Shalom, the King
Messiah prophesied throughout the Tanach
(the Hebrew Scriptures). That kingdom went
into abeyance. And a mystery long hidden in
God began to be revealed.
With Israel’s rejection of the kingdom, and
after Judas left the Passover meal, Jesus spoke
to his close followers of a new day. That night
He introduced to them a new age with a new
law. In this new day, the Anointed One’s fol-
lowers would have only one commandment
rather than the 613 commandments they had
known.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved
you, that ye also love one another.
