Blessing and shalom upon you and your household.

I am reminded of the story of Timothy, Paul's disciple. While Paul had made the point very clearly, as Yahuah Elohim had clarified in the TORAH, that circumcision of flesh without circumcision of heart was of none effect.

Deuteronomy 30:6 "And יהוה thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love יהוה thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."

So we see that circumcision of the heart is NOT a new testament concept but was the point from the beginning.

Therefore the circumcision in the flesh was an outward manifestation of an inward transformation. In the case of natural born Yashar'el, it was the outward manifestation of the covenant.

This was always Elohim's intention.

Deuteronomy 10:16 "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked."

Elohim interprets the foreskin as part of the "rebellion" or stiffneckedness of the people.

So with that understanding, and knowing that Timothy was already circumcised of heart, it is therefore interesting that when opportunity arose for Timothy to get circumcised, to do so in his flesh, he did.

So then, we can conclude that for those whom were not circumcised as an infant as יהוה commanded Moshe, then it follows that it is a matter of the depth of their hearts for in Abraham's day, it was done for adults as it was for Timothy in the new testament.
