Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This
study is attached for ease of print and study format- I will add last week’s study and attachment also as several said they received
zero attachments. I am sorry. YHWH is restoring all things; that
includes us who were once DRY BONES! All
who KNOW (Not know about) HIM
and call on Him will be delivered- HalleluYAH!

Why are we on a different
schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is
about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this week’s
study-
Loved One;
before we can ever accomplish our destinies we were created for we must become
restored to Yahweh; what Yahshua came and paid the price for. We must be “born
again”. I have heard some Torah Teachers saying one is not born again until the
resurrection—hmm—well that is only partially true- we complete the process when
we get a glorified body at the Last Trump; however we are talking spiritual
truths- we start the process when our spirit beings become new creations (when
we believe on Him as come in the flesh to pay the price for our transgressions
and rebellion) - the old man is gone the new has come. (2Co 5:17)
Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a renewed creature (new creation) – the old matters have passed away, see, all matters
have become renewed! (The old
spirit man is gone; the new spirit man has come) 1 Footnote: 1 Rom.
6:2-22, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 4:22-24, Col. 3:10, 1 John 3:9-10. We are
certainly not complete, because our mind, will and intellect (soul) must be renewed in the word (Romans 12:1-2) and our flesh must be
taken captive from that renewing of our minds with the word of life!
(John 3:1) And there was a man of the Pharisees; Naḵdimon
was his name, a ruler of the Yehuḏim. (John 3:2) This one came to יהושע by night and said to Him, “Rabbi,
we know that you are a teacher come from Elohim, for no one is able to do these
signs you do if Elohim is not with him.” (John 3:3)
יהושע
answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above,
he is unable to see 1 the reign of Elohim.” Footnote: 1 Or perceive. (John 3:4)
Naḵdimon said to Him, “How is a man able to be born when he is old? Is
he able to enter into his mother’s womb a second time and be born?” (John 3:5) יהושע answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he is unable to enter into the
reign of Elohim. (John 3:6) “That which has been born of the flesh is
flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:7) “Do
not marvel that I said to you, ‘You have to be born from above.’ (John 3:8)
“The Spirit 1 breathes where
it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from
and where it goes. So is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.” Footnote: 1 or wind. (Ruach)
Loved One,
my prayer for you today and all your loved ones- is that you and I (and they) -
operate under the blessings of YHWH and experience TRUE riches! We will need
His power and help (true riches) when Jacob’s Troubles come upon the earth to
test us. He’s looking for a bride who has made herself ready without spot or
blemish and know--we will be tested! (Luke
16:10) “He, who is trustworthy in what is least, is trustworthy also
in much. And he who is unrighteous in what is least is unrighteous also in
much. (Luke 16:11) “If therefore; you
have not been trustworthy in the unrighteous mammon (money), who shall entrust to you the true riches? (Luke 16:12) “And if you have not been trustworthy in what is another
man’s, who shall give you what is your own? (Luke
16:13) “No
servant is able to serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love
the other, or else he shall cling to the one and despise the other. You are not
able to serve Elohim and mammon.”
An “evil eye” Hebraically is stinginess and a good or single eye is
generous. Mat_6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye is single,
(Comment: generous) your whole body shall be full of light. Mat_6:23
But if your eye is evil, (Comment:
stingy) your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light
that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! (Luke 21:31) “So you also, when
you see these matters take
place, know that the reign of Elohim is near. (Luke
21:32) “Truly,
I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all shall have
taken place. (Luke 21:33) “The heaven and the
earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Luke 21:34) “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed
down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come
on you suddenly. (Luke 21:35) “For it shall come as
a snare on all those dwelling
on the face of all the earth.
(Luke 21:36) “Watch then at all
times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take
place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.” No Pre-tribulation rapture- we
are to escape and endure and produce fruit which alone glorifies our Father and
what a blessing to still be standing when He returns- Hallelu-Yah!
Last week we reminded ourselves the
real Body of Messiah of whom He is the Head of; will walk transformed/changed in His love, compassion, and power against
hell’s works;
ALL OF
THEM- with a demonstration of His power. Fearless, we will
demonstrate His power because He is ALIVE in us! We must first renew our minds
with His words and be transformed (molded)
by Him. (Rom 12:1) I
call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to
present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim –
your reasonable worship. (Rom 12:2) And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove (know) that which is good and
well-pleasing and the perfect desire (will)
of Elohim. His will and desire for us is that we will become as rivers of life
against the drought, famine, condemnation and death brought by hasatan. He only
brings what he has; death and condemnation as he has been and still is
CONDEMNED. To accomplish our destinies- we MUST WALK IN HIS POWER! Can He trust
us with His power? He will trust His bride so we must make ourselves ready. Are
you and I even trusting Him for His power to help others- mush less is He
finding us trustworthy? If we are not walking in His love and power; we have
some changing to do. (John 13:34) “A renewed command I give to you, that you love
one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:35) “By this shall all know that you are my taught ones,
if you have love for one another.”
Please recognize and question
yourself; checkup to see if you are walking in His love and compassion or have
you become a scriptural Torah Terrorist? Often, we are blindsided by our zest
to follow our King in obedience. Before we continue in renewing and reviewing
our thoughts on His plan of redeeming us as His children; the actual sons and
daughters of the Creator of all things- seen and unseen; we will approach some
thoughts He is sharing for you. Remember- His plan is to make us like Himself!
We will really walk like Yahshua walked; and do even greater miracles than He
did if we submit to His molding us and die to our own plans and pursuits. Have
you ever considered His thoughts toward you? Imagine with me- relationships-
say one of parent and child- aren’t either child or parent hearts broken when
rejected by the other? Or what about two lovers- if one of them is always
chasing another; is not one heart left broken and hurting? Imagine how our
Loving Creator feels when we chase after other lovers…pursuits that we’d rather spend
time with? Maybe this message is just to me, but I suspect there are many of us
who get trapped.
As
a reminder we learned last week about three known traps that keep us
from intimacy and producing fruit for the Kingdom we are warned about: the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and the
lust for things. Yahshua
warns us; Mar
4:18
Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who
hear the word, Mar 4:19 and the cares of this
world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires (lusts) for other things entering in choke
the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Quickly;
the cares of this life are obviously just making a living with all its
busy-ness or perhaps our personal pursuits we prefer over Him; secondly lusting
for things- consider all the advertising in the world- designed to make you
feel Inferior or Insecure without their product or service. This warfare (These two strongmen) is what hasatan
used in the garden and is still using on us today. If we just had them---we’d
be acceptable, we’d fit in! (These main 2
strongmen spirits of the wicked one allow his use against us of all others--
roots such as pride, fear, rejection, etc.) If we fall for pursuing things
to make us feel secure and not inferior to others- rather than the Creator’s
good plans and intentions for us to walk like He walks; we have effectively
been snared by the lust for things. Intimacy and real love comes from a set
apart walk of obedience and a humbling of ourselves to submit (bow down and
receive) to the Word made flesh that dwelled among us. (John 14:20) “In that day you shall know that I am in My Father and you in
me, and I in you.” (John 14:21) “He who possesses my
commands and obeys (Obedience; which to Yahshua equates to LOVE)
them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves me shall
be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.” We must SPEAK THE
WORD OF TRUTH AND NOT THE FACTS OR WHAT IS SEEN! Remember; Yahshua reminds us; His words are Spirit
and Life. We will not be allowed to have His power if we speak the facts- that
disagree with Him- remember the facts (giants in the land) are temporal (temporary) and subject to change whereas His words and agreeing
with them are eternal- He reminds us that Heaven and Earth will pass away but
His words will remain forever! Hallelu-Yah- walking in a demonstration of His
power (which is becoming an ever apparent
need) requires a humbling obedience on our parts loved one. Can we even
imagine becoming Kings and Priests in the Millennial Kingdom if we won’t even
obey Him in this day? Would you and I be so foolish to elevate our servants
that will not obey us? Do we honestly think our King and Messiah will make those
among us who choose to disobey Him Kings and Priests to teach and help direct
others to His truths and instructions?
(Torah) Are we among them that erroneously believe we
are now finally under grace? The Scriptures declare Noah found grace in His
eyes. Obviously, so did Adam and Eve as they were not killed but covered with
bloody animal skins.
Do we find ourselves believing grace has done away
with the Law or instructions (Torah)? Since 1 John declares KJV (1Jn 3:4) whosoever
committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Scriptures (1Jn 3:4) everyone
doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. Would we be so
deceived that we believe Yahshua did away with sin which is transgression
against the Torah
(Law/Instructions) and therefore paid
the price so that GRACE allows us to sin now without penalty? YHWH forbids us! We
should not be so scripturally ignorant to consider the “Law-Torah-Instructions”
are not man’s laws that are broken- (LAWLESS)
but YHWH’s Laws which are spiritual and meaningful…
(Rom 6:15) What then? Shall we
sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! (Rom 6:16) Do you not know that to whom you present
yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of
sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? (Rom 6:17) But Yahweh be
thanked that though you were slaves of
sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were
delivered. (Rom 6:18) And having been
set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. We need to always
remember what sin is in Yahweh’s eyes: lawless or Torah-less works which is
simply disobeying His instructions. They are not done away with- we should
neither believe or teach others that or we will be with LEAST rewards and join
“Pastor Least” in the Kingdom who disobeys and teaches others to disobey the
Law/Instructions/Torah (as in the
Law is done away with)!
(Mat 5:17) “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the
Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy but to complete (Fulfill-rightly interpret). Footnote: 1 The Law and the Prophets is a term
used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. (Mat
5:18)
“For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one
jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all will be done. 1 Footnote: 1 Luke
16:17. (Mat 5:19) “Whoever, then,
breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called
least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall
be called great in the reign of the heavens. (Mat
5:20) “For
I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and
Pharisees,1 you shall by no means enter into the reign of the
heavens. Footnote: 1Mt. 15:3-9, Mk.
7:7-13, John 7:19, Acts 7:53, Rom. 2:23-27, Gal. 6:13.
What do the
instructions of Yahweh say?
(Rom 10:8) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” –
that is, the word of belief (trust/faith)
which we are proclaiming: (Rom 10:9) that if you
confess (speak) with your mouth the Master יהושע (The WORD
made flesh who dwells among us) and believe in your
heart that Elohim has raised
Him from the dead, you shall be saved
(Greek sozo means delivered, saved,
healed, made whole—from every attack of the enemy). (Rom 10:10) For with the heart one
believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. (Rom 10:11)
Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts
his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.”
He is no respecter
of persons but as He told Jeremiah- He is watching over His word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my
word to do it.”
(Rom 10:12) Because there is no
distinction between Yehuḏite and
Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him.
(Rom 10:13)
“Everyone
who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” (Rom 10:14) How then shall they call on Him in whom they
have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not
heard? And how shall they hear without one proclaiming?
Reminding ourselves why we study in “cycles” or go
over and over the same scriptures every year: Our answer is found many places
but here is one: We learn and receive truth by HEARING
AND HEARING! (Not having heard before only) That’s
what builds our trust and faith as Romans 10:17 instructs us: (Rom 10:13) “Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” (Rom 10:14)
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how
shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear
without one proclaiming? (Rom 10:15) And how shall they proclaim if they are not
sent? As it has been written, “How pleasant are the feet of those who bring the
Good News of peace, which bring the Good News of the good!”
(Rom 10:16) However, not all obeyed the Good News. Yeshayahu says, “יהוה, who has
believed our report?” (Rom 10:17) So then belief
(faith/trust) comes by hearing, and
hearing by the word of Elohim. (Rom 10:18) But I ask, did they not hear? Yea indeed,
“Their voice went out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the
world.” (Rom 10:19) But I ask, did Yisra’ĕl not know? First
Mosheh says, “I shall provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I
shall enrage you by an unwise nation.” (Rom 10:20) And Yeshayahu boldly says, “I was found by
those not seeking me, I was made manifest to those not asking for me.” (Rom 10:21)
And to Yisra’ĕl He says, “All day long I have
stretched out my hands to a disobedient
and back-talking people.”
The
Ruach will guide us into more truth as we receive the engrafted word and become
DOERS of what has been revealed.
(Rom 2:13) Not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of
Elohim, but the doers of the
law 1 shall be declared right. Footnote:
1 Mt. 7:21-27, James 2:14-24.
When we receive
(A decision
and choice we each make) the engrafted word- we
will both submit and obey by our doing or likely we also are deceived or
at least prone/susceptible to hasatan’s attack. If we choose to not receive
then we are in rebellion. (1Sa
15:22)
Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and
slaughterings, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an
offering, to heed is better than the fat of rams. (1Sa
15:23) “For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
(witchcraft) and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does
reject you as Sovereign (King).” I
expect He will also reject us as Kings and Priests for disobedience- YIKES!)
(James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and
overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22) And become
doers of the Word, and not hearers only,
1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke.
8:21, Rom. 2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James
1:23) If anyone is a hearer of
the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a
mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself,
and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,
1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer
of work, this one shall be blessed
in his doing of the Torah. Footnote:
1See 2:12.
How many of us still
want to fit in, be accepted by unbelieving and mocking worldly friends and
family members? It is time we make ourselves ready and quit playing with fire-
we now must become the bride making ourselves ready! We must pray for them but
become set apart!
(James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity
with Elohim? 1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of
the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1Mt.
13:22, Luke. 4:5-6, Luke. 14:33, Rom. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James 4:5) Or
do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which
dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James 4:6) But He gives greater favor. Because of this
He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor
to the humble.” (James 4:7) So then subject (submit- receive and do or SHE’MAH-Hear and
Obey) yourselves
to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he shall flee from you.
Footnote: 1Or adversary. (James 4:8)
Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands,
sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James
4:9) Lament and mourn and weep!
Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves
in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James
4:11) Brothers, do not speak
against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother
speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a
doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12) There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is
able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
(Hebrews 11:1) now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Rom 10:17)
So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing (Cycle) by the word of YHWH. (Rom
10:18) I say, have they not
heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto
the ends of the world. (Rom 10:19) I say, did not Israel know? First Moses says
I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are
no people, and by a foolish nation I
will anger you. (Rom 10:20) But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was
found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not
after me. (Rom 10:21) But to Israel he says, All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Loved One; why am I laying this groundwork
methodically and ever so slowly? There are three destinies
for all who dwell on planet earth when the fiery trials come. Yahshua is
not coming back for a whoring bride (again)
but a bride that has made herself READY; therefore a test is required. We have
named it the GREAT TRIBULATION. (Rev
3:10)
“Because
you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the
hour of trial which shall come upon the entire world, to try (test) those who dwell on the earth.
Now
we are guaranteed a trial by fire and never again will judgment come by flood—although
we are promised it will be as the days of Noah when Yahshua comes. Here are a
few scriptures alluding to the coming FIRE:
Mat_3:12
“His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His
threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He
shall burn with unquenchable fire.”
Mat_5:22 “But I
say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be
liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to
the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna. Mat_7:19 “Every tree
that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Mat_13:40 “As the
darnel, then, is gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be at the end of this age. Mark_9:47
“And if your eye makes you stumble, pluck it out. It is
better for you to enter into the reign of Elohim with one eye, than having two
eyes, to be thrown into the fire
of Gehenna, Mark_9:48 where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ John_15:6 “If anyone
does not stay in me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up. And they
gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. (1Peter
1:3) Blessed be the Elohim and
Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who
according to His great compassion has caused us to be born again to a living
expectation through the resurrection of יהושע Messiah from the dead, (1Peter 1:4) to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and unfading, having been kept in the heavens for you, (1Peter 1:5) who are protected by the power of Elohim
through belief, for a deliverance ready to be revealed in the last time, (1Peter 1:6) in which you exult, even though for a
little while, if need be, you have been grieved by manifold trials, (1Peter 1:7) in order that the proving of your belief
– much more precious than gold that perishes, and proven by fire – might be found to result in praise and respect
and esteem at the revelation of יהושע Messiah, (1Peter
1:8) whom having not seen, you
love; in whom you exult with unspeakable and esteemed joy, yet not seeing, but
believing, (1Peter 1:9) obtaining the goal of
your belief: a deliverance of lives. (2Pe
3:8)
But, beloved ones let not this one matter be hidden from you:
that with יהוה one day is
as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2Peter
3:9) יהוה is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness,
but is patient toward us, not wishing that any
should perish but that all should come to repentance. 1 Footnote: 1
1 Tim. 2:4. (2Peter 3:10) But the day of יהוה shall come as a thief in the night, in
which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat, and the earth and the
works that are in it shall be burned up. (2Peter 3:11)
Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people
ought you to be in set-apart behavior and reverence, (2Peter
3:12) looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the
heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat!
(2Pe 3:13) But
according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in
which righteousness dwells. (2Pe 3:14) So then, beloved ones, looking forward to
this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, (2Pe 3:15) and
reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother
Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, (2Pe 3:16) as
also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters,
in which some are hard to understand,1
which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the other Scriptures. Footnote: 1 See
1 Cor. 11:6. (2Pe 3:17) You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest
you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion
of the lawless, (Don’t
even think about being LAWLESS or without Torah-Instructions- it is not done
away with as long as there is still a Heaven and Earth! Matthew 5:17-18) (2Pe 3:18)
but grow in the favor and knowledge of our Master and Savior יהושע Messiah. To Him is the esteem (glory) both now and to a day that
abides. Amĕn.
Okay this establishes the trying by fire we may expect,
but what about the three destinies that are awaiting us? This is WHY we must choose
to be made and changed into His image to become the
BRIDE-
(Rev 13:9) If anyone has an
ear, let him hear. (Rev 13:10) (1) He who
brings into captivity shall go into captivity; (2) he who kills with the sword has to be
killed with the sword. (3) Here is the endurance
and the belief (faith) of the
set-apart ones. First those who
put others into captivity will go into captivity themselves- guaranteed by
YHWH! Even if you allow others to go into captivity while you think you escape
by “giving them up” so to speak. Secondly, if you make war- that is you defend
yourself by attack of the enemy you totally missed the point. If hasatan can
trick us into physical warfare he will defeat us because for now he is the god
of this world; so if we walk in the flesh realm we will surely die- but if we
walk in the spirit we will LIVE! Our words are spirit. Yahshua’s words and
agreeing with them- are spirit and LIFE! We wrestle NOT against flesh and blood
but against powers and spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies--- our weapons of
war are not of this world (physical)
but are mighty for pulling down strongholds.
Now let’s combine the third with His instructions about what we
should be praying for! (Luke 21:35) “For it shall come as a snare (trap) on all those dwelling on the face of all the
earth. (Luke
21:36) “Watch then at all times, and pray that you be counted
worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand (ENDURE)
before the
Son of Aḏam.”
(John 15:7) “If you stay in me,
and My Words stay in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done
for you. (John 15:8) “In this My Father is esteemed (glorified), that you bear much fruit, and you
shall be my taught ones. (John 15:9) “As the Father has
loved me, I have also loved you. Stay in my love. (John 15:10) “If you guard my
commands, you shall stay in my love, 1 even as I have guarded My
Father’s commands and stay in His love. Footnote: 1 See 14:15. (John 15:11) “These words I have spoken to you, so that my joy
might be in you, and that your joy might be complete. (John 15:12) “This is my
command, that you love one another, as I have loved you.1 Footnote: 1 See
13:34, 15:17. (John 15:13) “No one has greater
love than this: that one should lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:14) “You are my friends
if you do whatever I command you.
We are designed to escape and endure all the while producing
FRUIT for the Kingdom as that is what glorifies our Father in Heaven! WE FEAR NOT! Let’s
choose LIFE with faith and endurance/patience and produce much fruit for our
Heavenly Father as our CHOSEN DESTINY! HalleluYAH!
We
now take a fresh look at the Cycles
of Scripture as our hearts receive fresh revelation and understanding from
hearing and hearing His word. Loved
One- let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah Scriptures!
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Behar “On the Mount”
Leviticus 25:1-26:2; Jeremiah 32:6-27; Luke
4:16-21
Disobeying
here is why Judah went into Babylonian captivity for 490 years (70 years x 7)
Leviticus 25:1 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh on Mount Sinai,
saying, Leviticus 25:2 “Speak to the children
of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you,
then the land shall observe a Sabbath to יהוה. Leviticus 25:3
‘Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard,
and gather in its fruit, Leviticus 25:4 but in the seventh year the land is to have a
Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to יהוה. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard. Leviticus 25:5 ‘Do not reap what grows of its own of
your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a
year of rest for the land. Leviticus 25:6 ‘And
the Sabbath of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and
for your female servant and your hired servant, and for the stranger who
sojourns with you, Leviticus 25:7 and for your livestock and the beasts that
are in your land. All its crops are for food.
Jubilee- when we get set free-
Leviticus 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for
yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years
shall be to you forty-nine years. Leviticus 25:9 ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass
through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a
ram’s horn to pass through all your land.
Hallelu-YAH!
Leviticus 25:10 ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim
release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for
you. And each of you shall return to his possession and each of you return to
his clan. Leviticus 25:11 ‘The fiftieth year is
a Jubilee to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from
its unpruned vine. Leviticus 25:12 ‘It is a
Jubilee; it is set-apart to you. Eat from the field its crops. Leviticus 25:13 ‘In the Year of this Jubilee let each
one of you return to his possession. Leviticus 25:14‘and
when you sell whatever to your neighbor or buy from the hand of your neighbor,
do not exploit one another. Leviticus 25:15
‘According to the number of years after the Jubilee you buy from your neighbor,
and according to the number of years of crops he sells to you. Leviticus 25:16
‘According to the greater number of years you increase its price, and
according to the fewer number of years you diminish its price, because he sells
to you according to the number of the years of the crops. Leviticus 25:17 ‘And do not oppress one another, but
you shall fear your Elohim. For I am יהוה your Elohim. Leviticus
25:18 ‘And you shall do my laws and guard my right-rulings, and shall do
them. And you shall dwell in the land in safety, Leviticus
25:19 ‘and the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat to
satisfaction, and shall dwell there in safety. Leviticus
25:20 ‘And since you might say, “What do we eat in the seventh year,
since we do not sow nor gather in our crops?”
Leviticus 25:21 ‘Therefore I have
commanded my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth the
crop for three years. Leviticus 25:22 ‘And you
shall sow in the eighth year, and eat of the old crop until the ninth year. Eat
of the old until its crop comes in. Leviticus 25:23
‘And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is mine, for you
are sojourners and settlers with me. Leviticus 25:24
‘And provide for a redemption for the land, in all the land of your possession.
Leviticus 25:25 ‘When your brother becomes poor,
and has sold some of his possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes
to redeem it, and then he shall redeem what his brother sold. Leviticus 25:26
‘And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able
to redeem it, Leviticus 25:27 then let him count the years since its sale,
and return the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he shall return to
his possession. Leviticus 25:28 ‘And if his
hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in
the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee. And it shall be
released in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his possession. Leviticus 25:29 ‘And when a man sells a house in a
walled city, then his right of redemption shall be at the end of the year after
it is sold. His right of redemption lasts a year. Leviticus
25:30 ‘But if it is not redeemed within a complete year, then the house
in the walled city shall be established beyond reclaim to the buyer of it,
throughout his generations. It is not released in the Jubilee. Leviticus 25:31 ‘The houses of villages, however,
which have no wall around them are reckoned as the field of the country. A
right of redemption belongs to it, and they are released in the Jubilee. Leviticus 25:32 ‘As for the cities of the Lĕwites and
the houses in the cities of their possession; the Lĕwites have a right of
redemption forever. Leviticus 25:33 ‘And that which is redeemed from the Lĕwites,
both the sale of a house and the city of his possession shall be released in
the Year of Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Lĕwites are their
possession in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Leviticus
25:34 ‘But the field of the open land of their cities is not sold, for
it is their everlasting possession. Leviticus 25:35
‘When your brother becomes poor and his hand has failed- with you- then you
shall sustain him. He shall live with you, like a stranger or a sojourner. Leviticus 25:36 ‘Take no interest from him, or
profit, but you shall fear your Elohim, and your brother shall live with you. Leviticus 25:37 ‘Do not lend him your silver on
interest, and do not lend him your food for profit. Leviticus
25:38 ‘I am יהוה your Elohim, who
brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to give you the land of Kenaʽan, to be
your Elohim. Leviticus 25:39 ‘And when your
brother who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, do not make
him serve as a slave. Leviticus 25:40 ‘But as a
hired servant, as a settler he is with you, and serves you until the Year of
Jubilee. Leviticus 25:41 ‘And then he shall
leave you- he and his children with him and shall return to his own clan; even
return to the possession of his fathers. Leviticus
25:42 ‘For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of
Mitsrayim, they are not sold as slaves. Leviticus
25:43 ‘Do not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your
Elohim. Leviticus 25:44 ‘And your male and
female slaves whom you have from the nations that are around you, from them you
buy male and female slaves, Leviticus 25:45 and
also from the sons of the strangers sojourning among you, from them you buy,
and from their clans who are with you, which they shall bring forth in your
land, and they shall be your property. Leviticus 25:46
‘And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit them as a possession, they are your slaves for all time. But over your
brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl, you do not rule with harshness, one over
another. Leviticus 25:47 ‘Now when a sojourner or a settler with you
becomes rich, and your brother with him becomes poor, and sells himself to the
settler or sojourner with you, or to a member of the sojourner’s clan, Leviticus 25:48
after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption to him – one of
his brothers does redeem him, Leviticus 25:49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son does redeem
him, or anyone who is a close relative to him in his clan does redeem him, or
if he is able, then he shall redeem himself. Leviticus
25:50 ‘And he shall reckon with
him who bought him: The price of his release shall be according to the number
of years, from the year that he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; as
the days of a hired servant it is with him. Leviticus
25:51 ‘If there are yet many years- according to them he repays the
price of his redemption from the silver of his purchase. Leviticus 25:52
‘And if few years are left until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall
reckon with him, and according to his years he repays him the price of his
redemption. Leviticus 25:53 ‘He is with him as
a yearly hired servant, and he does not rule with harshness over him before
your eyes. Leviticus 25:54 ‘And if he is not
redeemed in these years, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he
and his children with him. Leviticus 25:55
‘because the children of Yisra’ĕl are servants to me, they are my servants whom
I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim. Leviticus 26:1 ‘Do
not make idols for yourselves, and do not set up a carved image or a pillar for
yourselves, and do not place a stone image in your land, to bow down to it. For
I am יהוה your Elohim.
Leviticus 26:2 ‘Guard My Sabbaths and reverence my
set-apart place. I am יהוה.
No Matter too Hard
for YHWH! Hallelu-YAH!
Jeremiah 32:6 And Yirmeyahu said, “The word of יהוה came to me, saying, Jeremiah 32:7
‘See, Ḥaname’ĕl son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying,
“Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy
it.” ’ Jeremiah
32:8 “So Ḥaname’ĕl my uncle’s
son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of יהוה, and said
to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of
Binyamin, for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption. Buy it for
yourself.’ And I knew that this was the word of יהוה. Jeremiah 32:9 “And I bought the field which was at
Anathoth from Ḥaname’ĕl, my uncle’s son, and weighed out to him the silver,
seventeen sheqels of silver. Jeremiah 32:10
“And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the silver in
the scales. Jeremiah
32:11 “Then I took the deed of purchase – that which was sealed
according to the command and law, and that which was open – Jeremiah 32:12 and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruḵ son
of Nĕriyah, son of Maḥsĕyah, in the presence of Ḥaname’ĕl my uncle’s son, and
in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all
the Yehuḏim who sat in the court of the guard. Jeremiah
32:13 “And I commanded Baruḵ
before their eyes, saying, Jeremiah 32:14 ‘Thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Take
these deeds, both this deed of purchase which is sealed and this deed which is
open, and put them in an earthen vessel, so that they remain many days.” Jeremiah 32:15
‘For thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Houses and fields and
vineyards shall again be bought in this land.” ’ Jeremiah
32:16 “And after I had given the deed of purchase to Baruḵ son of
Nĕriyah, I prayed to יהוה, saying, Jeremiah 32:17 ‘Ah, Master יהוה! See, you have made the heavens and the
earth by your great power and outstretched arm. There is no matter too hard for you, Jeremiah 32:18 who show kindness
to thousands, and repay the crookedness of the fathers into the bosom of their
children after them – the Great, the Mighty Ěl, יהוה of hosts is His Name, Jeremiah 32:19 great in
counsel and mighty in work, for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons
of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of
his deeds. Jeremiah 32:20 ‘You have set
signs and wonders in the land of Mitsrayim to this day; and in Yisra’ĕl and
among other men; and you have made yourself a Name, as it is this day. Jeremiah 32:21 ‘and you
have brought your people Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim with signs and
wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great fearsome
deeds. Jeremiah 32:22 ‘And you gave them
this land, of which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing
with milk and honey. Jeremiah 32:23 ‘And they
came in and possessed it, but they did not obey your voice nor did they walk
in your Torah. They did not do all that you commanded them to do, so you
brought all this evil upon them. Jeremiah 32:24
‘See the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it. And the city has
been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the
sword and the scarcity of food and the pestilence. And what you have spoken has
come about, and look, you see it! Jeremiah 32:25
‘Yet you, O Master יהוה, have said to me, “Buy the field for silver, and take
witnesses”; although the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
Jeremiah 32:26 Then the word of יהוה came to
Yirmeyahu, saying, Jeremiah 32:27 “See, I am יהוה, the Elohim of all flesh. Is there any matter too hard for me?”
Here Yahshua is quoting Isaiah 61 but note: He stops in the middle of the
Scripture and does not continue speaking the remainder! Ever wonder why? (Hint: He was not coming at that
time for the Day of Judgment and Vengeance- or DAY OF THE LORD that’s reserved
for our days) Look: Luke
4:16 And He came to Natsareth, where He
had been brought up. And according to His practice, He went into the
congregation on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luke
4:17 and the scroll of the prophet Yeshayahu was handed to Him. And
having unrolled the scroll, He found the place where it was written: Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of יהוה is
upon me, 1 because He has anointed me to bring the Good News to the
poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the
captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away crushed ones with a
release, Footnote:
1Isa. 61:1-3. Luke 4:19 to proclaim the acceptable year of יהוה.”1
Footnote: 1Isa. 61:1-2. Luke 4:20 and having rolled up the scroll, He gave it
back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the congregation
were fixed upon Him. Luke 4:21 And He began to
say to them, “Today this Scripture has been filled in
your hearing.”
Loved One-
Here are good instructions for us living today from Yahshua; (Luke 8:50) and יהושע, having heard, answered
him, saying, “Do not be afraid (FEAR
NOT!), only believe, and she shall be healed.” I pray you
remember His words and promises- speaking them no matter the apparent storm of
facts! Hallelu-Yah! Truth Seekers (loved ones); we have studied and
reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can expect in the
days, weeks, months and years ahead. Please do remember the Scriptures declare
this Exodus will be a far greater deliverance than even Moses and Israel
crossing the Red Sea. Thank you for your prayers and intercession for Billie
and me as we also work out what we believe are YHWH’s plans for us with fear
and trembling! Don’t be disheartened- you were created by our Heavenly Father
to live in these times and seasons! Be encouraged- He is well able to deliver
you and your loved ones- worship Him who made Heaven and Earth! (Practically, yes, it may be a good idea to
store some dry beans, whole grains, water, water purifiers, seeds, even
potassium iodide in the event of nuclear terrorism, etc.) Perhaps a more
remote place to retreat to with like-minded believers is ideal. Not on the
beach for sure and at least 1000’ above sea level- please! I would encourage you to consider praying
and seeking the Father’s face regarding drawing nearer to the safest place on
the planet- which is HEARING AND OBEYING HIM! He may have you also preparing for massive Earth Changes as
apparently every major world government is aware of and planning for and digging underground cities for the
elite demon infested wicked rulers to escape to- FEAR NOT- but as you feel led- (NOT in fear) prepare
spirit, soul and body! We can trust our Elohim! We will likely be happy we are
not allowed among them! Hehe This life is
quite temporary in this flesh body- knowing this let’s live our lives that we
may believe YHWH- that if we ask ANYTHING that is according to His word, and we
know He hears us; we KNOW we have the things we have asked for! Hallelu-YAH!
(1Jn 1:9)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1Jn 5:14)
And this is the boldness that we have in
Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us. (1Jn 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we have asked of Him! I pray
also that you walk in Him and produce His fruit that remains! (1Co 2:1) And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not
come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of
Elohim. (1Co 2:2) For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and
Him impaled. (1Co 2:3) And I was with you in weakness, and in fear,
and in much trembling. (1Co 2:4) And my word and my preaching were not with
persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1Co 2:5) in order that your belief/trust should not be in
the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim. I further pray
that you learn to walk in His supernatural gifts by faith and trust and further
that you walk in obedience and so in love with the Messiah that you FEAR NOT!
Thanks for your timely prayers for us that we also walk in His power, love and
obedience; and that YHWH directs, provides, and protects us also along with our
loved ones! Billie and I believe your wonderful prayers are seeds for your
own loved ones- PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS COMING! HALLELU-YAH! You are
much loved!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah
Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are
walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not
to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will
never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect
Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and
seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the
tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall
come to seek יהוה
of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah
8:23) “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In
those days (Now? YES and in the
future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim
and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
