📜 **Why Did They Leave Jerusalem? (Around 36–37 AD)**
**These 3 Bibles Always Line Up — That’s Why We Use Them:**
Paleo-Hebrew Bible (\~1400–586 BC)
Aramaic Scriptures (\~600–500 BC)
Early Square Script – No Vowels (\~400–200 BC)

The disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) did **not** leave Jerusalem to start a new religion. They left because they were **scattered**, **sent**, and in many cases **forced out** — but it was all part of Yhwh’s purpose to **preserve the truth** and **call His people back**.

🔥 **1. Persecution Was Rising**
By 36–37 AD, the temple leaders and Roman rulers had begun targeting the followers of Yeshua. These leaders feared losing control. Just like the prophets of old, the disciples were pushed out not for rebellion, but because they carried Yhwh’s truth. Jerusalem had rejected the covenant again, and judgment was near.

📖 *Jeremiah 7:3–4*
“Thus saith Yhwh… Amend your ways and your doings… Trust not in lying words, saying, The temple of Yhwh…”

🕊️ **2. The Ruach Was Leading Them**
Yhwh’s Spirit (Ruach) — not a Greek “third person,” but **Yhwh’s breath and power** — moved among the faithful. Those who followed Yeshua didn’t invent a religion. They carried the same message the prophets gave: **Return to Yhwh, keep His commands, and be healed.** They were sent to Yahudim and also to the God-fearing strangers who already walked with Israel.

📖 *Isaiah 44:3*
“I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed…”

🌍 **3. The Time Was Right**
There were Yahudim living in Egypt, Parthia, Babylon, Syria, and even India. These were not “lost sheep,” but **scattered covenant people** who still remembered the name of Yhwh. The disciples didn’t need to create churches — they went out to **restore Yhwh’s covenant** where it had been forgotten. They carried the Hebrew message to a Hebrew people in exile.

📖 *Ezekiel 34:12*
“As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep…”

---

✡️ **4. To Preserve the Hebrew Truth**
Greek ideas were already creeping in. Temple leadership was already corrupted. Rome was waiting to twist the message. The true disciples left Jerusalem not to expand religion but to **guard what was given** — Yhwh’s covenant, Yhwh’s Name, and the truth Yeshua walked in. They carried **no new testament** — only the **same Torah and Prophets** Yeshua taught from.

📖 *Amos 8:11*
“Behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will send a famine… of hearing the words of Yhwh.”

---

🛑 **They Did Not Preach Paul’s Gospel**
No “grace alone.”
No “lost sheep first.”
No “Gentile gospel.”
No new religion.


The disciples of Yeshua (Jesus)
They preached what Yhwh always said:

> 🕎 **“Repent and obey — and I will redeem you. Jew or Gentile.”**

📖 *Isaiah 43:11*
“I, even I, am Yhwh; and beside Me there is no savior.”
