יהושע Messiah Rejected Unwitnessed Authority As Not Truly Being from יהוה, While Prophesying That Another Who Promotes Himself Will Be Received, Unlike Him

https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ROM.11.13-14
‘And to Him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of יהושע Messiah, according to the revelation of the secret which was kept silent since times of old, but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the everlasting Elohim, for belief-obedience. To Elohim, wise alone, be the esteem, through יהושע Messiah forever. Amĕn.’

‘For we are fellow workers of Elohim, you are the field of Elohim, the building of Elohim. According to the favour of Elohim which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But each one should look how he builds on it.’

https://www.bible.com/bible/316/1CO.11.1
‘For I am the least of the emissaries, who am not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of Elohim. But by the favour of Elohim I am what I am, and His favour toward me was not in vain, but I laboured much more than they all, yet not I, but the favour of Elohim with me.’

‘Again I say, let no one think me to be a fool. And if otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, for me to also boast a little. What I speak, I speak not according to the Master, but as in foolishness, in this boldness of boasting. Since many boast according to the flesh, I too shall boast.’
- Qorintiyim Bĕt (2 Corinthians) 11:16-18
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/2CO.11.16-18
‘To my shame, I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold – I say it in foolishness – I am bold also. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they of Yisra’ĕl? So am I. Are they the seed of Aḇraham? So am I. Are they servants of Messiah? – I speak as beside myself – I am more, in labours much more, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times. Five times I received from the Yehuḏim forty stripes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have been in the deep, in many travels, in dangers of waters, in dangers of robbers, in dangers from my own race, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the desert, in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brothers; in toil and hardship, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness, besides the matters from outside, what comes upon me daily: the anxiety for all the assemblies. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn inwardly ? If I have to boast, I shall boast of matters that show up my weakness.’
- Qorintiyim Bĕt (2 Corinthians) 11:21-30
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/2CO.11.21-30
‘To boast, indeed, is useless for me, for I shall go on to visions and revelations of יהוה. I know a man in Messiah who fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, Elohim knows – such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man – whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, Elohim knows – that he was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not right for a man to speak. Of such a one I shall boast, but of myself I shall not boast, except in my weaknesses. For if I shall wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think more of me than what he sees in me, or hears of me. And to keep me from exalting myself because of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to hit me, to keep me from exalting myself. Concerning this I pleaded with the Master three times to take it away from me. And He said to me, “My favour is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, then, I shall rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Messiah rests on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Messiah. For when I am weak, then I am strong. I have become a fool – you have compelled me. For I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I behind the most eminent emissaries, though I am a nobody.’

‘Become joint imitators of me, brothers, and look at those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.’
- Pilipiyim (Philippians) 3:17
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/PHP.3.17
‘I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the favour of Messiah, to a different ‘Good News,’ which is not another, only there are some who are troubling you and wishing to pervert the Good News of Messiah. However, even if we, or a messenger out of heaven, bring a ‘Good News’ to you beside what we announced to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone brings a ‘Good News’ to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or Elohim? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I should not be a servant of Messiah. And I make known to you, brothers, that the Good News announced by me is not according to man. For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of יהושע Messiah.’
- Galatiyim (Galatians) 1:6-12
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/GAL.1.6-12
‘But you know that through weakness of the flesh I brought the Good News to you before. And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as a messenger of Elohim, as Messiah יהושע.’

https://www.bible.com/bible/316/GAL.4.13-14
‘Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Messiah, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of belief toward Elohim, of the teaching of immersions, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment.’

Recall that Sha’ul, Who Was Not of the Taught Ones of יהושע Messiah While He Was Still in the Earth, But a Blasphemous Murderer of Them From the Time יהושע Was Crucified Up Until the Moment He Claimed Unwitnessed Authority to Teach and Preach the Good News of יהושע to the Nations, Strategically Undermining Kepha’s Position, Just as יהושע Prophesied
‘But Sha’ul, still breathing threats and murder against the taught ones of the Master, having come to the high priest, asked from him letters to the congregations of Dammeseq, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, to bring them bound to Yerushalayim.’

‘Truly, then, all the Yehuḏim know my way of life from youth, which I led from the beginning among my own nation at Yerushalayim,” since they have known me from the first, if they wish to witness, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our observance.’

‘And on the next Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the Word of Elohim. But when the Yehuḏim saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. And contradicting and speaking evil, they opposed what Sha’ul was saying. But speaking boldly, Sha’ul and Barnaḇa said, “It was necessary that the word of Elohim should be spoken to you first, but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the nations. For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have set you to be a light to the nations, that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.’’

‘And from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the favour of Elohim for the work which they had completed.

‘And it came to be, when I returned to Yerushalayim, and while I was praying in the Set-apart Place, I came to be in a trance,” and I saw Him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Yerushalayim, speedily, because they shall not accept your witness concerning Me.’ “And I said, ‘Master, they know that in every congregation I was imprisoning and beating those who believe on You. And when the blood of Your witness Stephanos was shed, I also was standing by giving my approval to his death, and keeping the garments of those who were killing him.’ “And He said to me, ‘Go, because I shall send you far from here to the nations.’ ”’

‘But on the contrary, when they saw that the Good News to the uncircumcised had been entrusted to me, even as Kĕpha to the circumcised – for He who worked in Kĕpha to make him an emissary to the circumcised also worked in me for the nations. So when Ya‛aqoḇ, Kĕpha, and Yoḥanan, who seemed to be supports, came to know the favour that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnaḇa the right hand of fellowship, in order that we go to the nations and they to the circumcised,’

Recall that Sha’ul Wasted No Time Upgrading His Status as He Began Claiming Himself an Emissary of יהושע Messiah, Fully Undermining Kepha’s Appointed Position, Just as יהושע Prophecied, While the Usurper Contradicted Himself by Simultaneously Acknowledging יהושע ‘s Twelve Appointed Emissaries

‘For I delivered to you at the first that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Kĕpha, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brothers at one time, of whom the greater part remain till now, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by Ya‛aqoḇ, then by all the emissaries. And last of all He was seen by me also, as if to one born prematurely.’
