This
Study attached for easier

Part 2
Why
we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is
continued at end of this week’s study…
LOVED ONE WE NEED
HIS POWER TO OVERCOME AND ACT TO DO EXPLOITS:
YEP! Loved One; we really must review what our
study led us to last week- the importance of not fearing in greater darkness and more confrontations with the enemy of our souls; and the
provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! Last week we considered the power of our
words agreeing with Him and how intimacy in worship brings
His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat
its fruit.
Fear has no place on the Ruach HaKodesh filled believer-
when it is allowed it comes from trusting in hasatan’s power and the storm to
do evil against us rather than trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us!
Obviously spirits of the enemy hasatan cannot
hang around when YHWH is present- just not possible! He informs us to put on
the spirit of praise for the spirit(s) of heaviness- ha ha- we win by entering
His presence! REMEMBER
LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine who His
bride is. She WILL make herself ready.
Daniel
11:32 “And by flatteries he (Anti-Messiah) shall profane those who
do wrong against the covenant, but the people who know their Elohim shall be
strong, and shall act (DO EXPLOITS in several versions of the
Bible). Daniel 11:33 “And those of the
people who have insight shall give understanding to many. And they shall
stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering, for days. Daniel 11:34 “And when they stumble, they shall be
helped, a little help, but many shall join them, by flatteries. Daniel 11:35 “And some of those who have insight
shall stumble, to refine them, and to cleanse them, and to make them white,
until the time of the end, for it is still for an appointed time.
Quick
Review Loved One: Our Three Destinies approach and we choose to make ourselves
ready as the Bride or not
Revelation 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13:10 He who brings into captivity
shall go into captivity, he who kills with the sword has to be killed
with the sword. Here is the endurance and the belief of the set-apart
ones.
1.
If we promote
others into captivity to protect ourselves---we go into captivity
2.
If we kill by
weapons we shall be killed by weapons
3.
We can escape
and endure by faith and trust as we hear and obey- believing Him
LOVED ONE- WE FEAR NOT! WE
ONLY BELIEVE! Mark 5:35 As He was speaking, they came
from the ruler of the congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your
daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” Mark 5:36 But having heard the word that was spoken, יהושע said to the
ruler of the congregation, “Do not be afraid –
only believe.”
Since we are keenly aware that the love of many is grown
cold, more wickedness abounds and greater darkness is covering the earth; I want
to address the natural tendencies to fear. Note
also how we KNOW we are His children- the Ruach bears witness to us! As we
yield and become the manifested sons and daughters of YHWH we will banish all
fear from our lives.
(Romans
8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of Elohim, (Romans 8:17)
and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah,
if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together. (Romans 8:18)
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth
comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us. (Romans 8:19) For the
intense longing1 of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of
the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Literal anxiously
looking with outstretched head. (Romans
8:20) The creation was subjected
to futility, not from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in
anticipation, (Romans 8:21) that the creation
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed
freedom of the children of Elohim. (Romans 8:22) For we know that all the
creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
(Romans 8:23)
And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the
Spirit, we ourselves also groan
within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of
our body. (Romans 8:24) For in this expectation (Hope or promise of the Word made flesh that
dwelled among us) we were saved, but expectation that is seen is not
expectation, for when anyone sees, does he expect it? (Romans
8:25) And if we expect what we do
not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. (Romans
8:26) And in the same way the
Spirit does help in our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray, but the
Spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groaning’s unutterable. (Indistinguishable words, prayer language,
unknown tongues- which is available to all believers that will humble
themselves and yield their tongue and trust Him that they would NOT receive a
snake or scorpion- a demon) (Romans 8:27) And He who searches the hearts knows what the
mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the set-apart
ones according to Elohim. (Comment:
as we yield and submit our tongues by our will- we allow Him to do the praying;
and He never misses the mark as He is TRUSTWORTHY) (Romans
8:28) And we know that all matters
work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called
according to His purpose. Okay Loved One, I will try to address how to banish fear from us as we restore childlike faith. Remember,
He inhabits the praises of His people! Luke 11:10
“Everyone asking receives, and he who is seeking finds,
and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. Luke
11:11 “And what father among you whose son asks
for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, Luke 11:12 or if he asks for an egg shall give him a scorpion? (Comment: Snakes and scorpions are defined
in Luke 10:19 as the power of the enemy- or the demonic realm) Luke 11:13 “If you then, being
wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your
Father from heaven give the Set-apart
Spirit to those asking Him!”
Praying in the
Spirit (Unknown tongues) allows us to
build up our trust/belief/faith and remove fear which is
the opposite of faith and believing. It also allows the Ruach HaKodesh to download love into our hearts. This removes the emphasis
from us to what He wants prayed for and He always has our best interests at
heart- along with the needs of others. This also brings His shalom upon us,
which is a powerful force. Note also that this sort of prayer allows Him to
keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless! Jude
1:20 But you, beloved ones, building yourselves
up on your most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart Spirit, Jude 1: 21 keep yourselves in the love of Elohim,
looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah unto everlasting life. Jude 1:22 and show compassion toward
some who are doubting, Jude 1:23 but others
save with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating, even the garment defiled by the flesh.1 Footnote: 1 See Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 8:5-10.
Jude 1:24 And to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
and to
present you blameless before the
presence of His esteem with exceeding joy, Jude 1:25 to the only wise Elohim, our Savior, be
esteem and greatness and might and authority, both now and forever. Amĕn.
Romans
5:1 Therefore, having been declared right by
belief (Faith-trust), we have peace with Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah, Romans 5:2 through whom also we have access by belief (Faith-trust), into this
favor in which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of
Elohim. Romans 5:3 and not only this, but we
also exult in pressures, knowing that pressure works endurance; Romans 5:4 and endurance, approvedness; and
approvedness, expectation. Romans 5:5 and
expectation (Hope) does not
disappoint, because the love of Elohim has been poured out in
our hearts by the Set-apart Spirit which was given to us.
You and I have power to
overcome because Yahshua has overcome him and destroyed his works! He came once
to pay the whoring wife’s penalty of death, took the bitter water for us, and
provided the restoration of the fallen bride- He is coming again for His bride
and not the bride without light and oil for her lamp! So rejoice again I say
rejoice- we die to self that He may increase in us! DO NOT FEAR! OUR KING IS SITTING ON THE THRONE! (Revelation
3:10) 'Because you have
kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of
testing, (Comment: not a
pre-tribulation rapture- but His assurance and protection through the storms) that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those
who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 3:11)
'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have,
so that no one will take your crown. (Revelation
3:12) 'He who
overcomes, I will make him a pillar in
the temple of my Elohim, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will
write on him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, the
new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my Elohim, and my new name. (Revelation 3:13)
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach
HaKodesh says to the assemblies.'
(This is not a pre-tribulation rapture, He promises to protect and use us even
in the fiery furnace- so let’s be usable!) Loved
One, who are we really? Were we really born for such a time as this? Is
this really the “End of the Age”? These
questions are being answered by unfolding events and by our testimony- that is what we say
and what we
do about these unfolding events.
We shall overcome by the Blood of the Lamb of YHWH and our
Testimony or not overcome at all. All Creation is groaning for the sons and
daughters of YHWH to manifest. Seems we will be tried by fire to see if we will
walk by His Ruach (Spirit) or not. Why is it so important that you and I overcome
our fears and trials?
(Revelation
21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he
shall be my son. (Revelation 21:8) But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death.
We
are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he
purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…DO NOT LISTEN TO THE ACCUSER (About yourself or others) HE
IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES!
(Romans 8:1) There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah יהושע, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the
Spirit. (Romans 8:2) For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in
Messiah יהושע has set me free from the law of sin and of
death. (Romans 8:3) For the Torah being powerless, in that it was
weak through the flesh, Elohim, having His own Son in the likeness of flesh of
sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, (Romans
8:4) so that the righteousness of
the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:5) For those who live according to the flesh set
their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live
according to the Spirit, the matters of the Spirit.
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2 Timothy 1:7) For Elohim
has not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear),
but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).
Walking by the flesh is walking by our own reasoning, what we see, touch, hear,
and smell, in the natural realm while walking in the Spirit is yielding to the
word of YHWH in loving humbling obedience.
(John 14:15)
“If you love me,
you shall guard my commands.1
Footnote: 1 See Exodus 20:6, vv. 21&23,
1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:21) “He who possesses (has) my commands and guards 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.”
NOTE ABOVE: Two requirements: We
MUST have His commands, and we receive them by humbling ourselves and allow the
engrafted word to direct us, and then we MUST obey them. This is what She’mah
O Israel is really about- we must listen and obey. There is
coming a time when our phones will not work, our internet will not work, and
likely a separation from loved ones so we must develop our hearing NOW! (Matthew 21:42) יהושע said to them, “Did you never read in
the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief
corner-stone. This was from יהוה, and it is marvelous in our
eyes’? (Matthew 21:43)
“Because of this I say to you: the reign of
Elohim shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
of it. (Matthew 21:44) “And he who falls on
this stone shall be broken, 1 but on whomever it falls, he shall be
pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Romans 8:10
& 13, Colossians 3:5. That’s it in a nutshell Loved One; we will
fall on the Word of YHWH and die to our own will, or He will fall on us and
pulverize us!
We do not
live according to natural reason- flesh nature- Or we will surely die!
(Romans 8:6)
The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and
peace. (Romans 8:7) Because the mind of the flesh is enmity
towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself 1
to the Torah of Elohim2, neither
indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1 Or does
not obey. 2 John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18. (Romans 8:8) and those who are in the flesh are
unable to please Elohim. (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His. (Romans
8:10) And if Messiah is in you,
the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of
righteousness. (Romans 8:11) And if the Spirit of Him who raised יהושע from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Messiah from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His
Spirit dwelling in you. (Romans 8:12) So then, brothers, we are not debtors to the
flesh, to live according to the flesh. (Romans 8:13) For if
you live according to the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you
put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. (Romans 8:14) For as many
as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim. (Romans 8:15) You
did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the
Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Who are we? Many think that they are the bride
because they went forward one time and “Accepted Jesus” (NOT! Bear fruit
worthy of repentance!). He doesn’t need our acceptance He wants us to obey
Him so He can bless us (Which is LOVE- John
14:21) and we will grow into His image! Where is our love for others? Do we
really think we are “Torah Keepers” If we do not love others? (John 13:35) By this shall all men
know that you are my disciples, if you have love; one
for another. Not everyone who calls Him Lord, Lord will enter the
Kingdom, but only those who do the will of the Father! Yahshua pointed out who
family really is Loved one; (Matthew 12:46)
While he yet talked to the people, behold, his
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Matthew 12:47)
Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand
without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told
him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Matthew 12:49)
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50)
Whosoever
shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and
sister, and mother. There you have truth about who Yahshua says is FAMILY!
You!
Here’s
how we KNOW we are His children- the Ruach bears witness to us!
(Romans 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of Elohim, (Romans 8:17)
and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah,
if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together. (Romans 8:18)
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth
comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us. (Romans 8:19) For the
intense longing1 of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of
the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Lit. Anxiously
looking with outstretched head. (Romans
8:20) The creation was subjected
to futility, not from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in
anticipation, (Romans 8:21) that the creation
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed
freedom of the children of Elohim. (Romans 8:22) For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of
childbirth together until now. (Romans 8:23) And not only so, but even we ourselves who
have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves,
eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:24)
For in this expectation (Hope
or promise of the Word made flesh that dwelled among us) we were saved, but
expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he
expect it? (Romans 8:25) And if we expect what we do not see, we
eagerly wait for it with endurance. (Romans 8:26) And in the same way the Spirit does help in
our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray, but the Spirit Himself
pleads our case for us with groaning unutterable. (Indistinguishable words, prayer language,
unknown tongues- which is available to all believers that will humble
themselves and yield their tongue and trust Him that they would NOT receive a
snake or scorpion) (Romans 8:27) And He who searches the hearts knows what the
mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the set-apart ones
according to Elohim. (Romans 8:28) And we know that all matters work
together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according
to His purpose.
We must clean up and
make ourselves ready as His BRIDE! We cannot
follow those of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds
a lot like modern Churchianity: (Ezek
22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
Are WE considered Laodicean’s by our coming King?
YIKES
Why are these days so
critical and we must truly repent in sackcloth and ashes so to speak? I believe
we are in the last days Laodicean age that Yahshua warned us about: (Revelation 3:14) "To
the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: The
Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of YHWH,
says this: (Revelation 3:15) 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish
that you were cold or hot. (Revelation 3:16) 'Because you are lukewarm, and
neither hot nor cold; I’ll spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:17)
'Because you say, "I am rich, and have
become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you
are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, (Revelation 3:18)
I advise
you to buy from me gold refined by fire (faith-believing-
which is true riches) so that you may become rich, and white garments (Pure and undefiled robes of righteousness)
so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye
salve (spiritual eyes opened) to
anoint your eyes so that you may see. (Revelation 3:19)
'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline;
therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation
3:20) 'Behold,
I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:21)
'He
who overcomes, I will grant to him to
sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father
on His throne.
Good News
Truth Seeker!
It is our destiny to
seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory realm; His
mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power!
(Jeremiah 29:11) ‘For I know the
plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and
expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12) ‘Then you shall call on me,
and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13)
‘And you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart. 1. Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה, ‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you
from all the gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares
יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’ (Genesis 13:17)
"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I
will give it to you." (Ephesians 5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up
you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.”
(Isaiah 60:1)
“Arise and shine, for your light has come! And
the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
I often taught about
these POWER
TWINS for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy, but I
suspect it is time again.
Remember all
things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they are not possible for you and I is
our UNBELIEF! What gets rid
of unbelief? PRAYER
AND FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s look closer at why we
can believe that statement: (Mark 9:16) And He asked them, "What
are you discussing with them?" (Mark 9:17) And one of the crowd answered Him,
"Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him
mute; (Mark 9:18) and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens
out. I told your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it." (Mark 9:19) And He *answered them and *said, "O unbelieving
generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you?
Bring him to me!" (Mark 9:20) They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him,
immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground,
he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. (Mark
9:21) And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?"
And he said, "From childhood.
(Mark 9:22) "It has often thrown him both into the
fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, take pity
on us and help us!" (Mark 9:23) And Yahshua said to him, “‘if you
can?' All things are possible to him who
believes." (Mark 9:24)
Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe;
help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:25)
When Yahshua saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the
unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute
spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again." (Mark 9:26)
After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came
out; and the boy became so much like a
corpse that most of them said, "He
is dead!" (Mark 9:27) But Yahshua took him by the hand and raised
him; and he got up. (Mark 9:28) When He came into the
house, His disciples began questioning
Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?" (Looking in Matthew) (Matthew 17:20)
And יהושע said to them, “Because of your
unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if
you have belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you.
(Matthew 17:21)
“But this kind does not go out except through
prayer and fasting.” So the topic is not some great demon, even the head of all
demons must bow to the name. The problem and topic here is unbelief. We get rid of
unbelief by prayer and fasting! Prayer AND
Fasting, not prayer without fasting or fasting without prayer- THESE ARE
YHWH’S POWER TWINS! (Can you
tell that YHWH is leading me- uhhh- maybe us hehe- to a fasting time with Him?)
If we really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with
prayer and fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers)
into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we
become under great fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us
harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and
me? NOT IF we pray and fast and
overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebraic
or Hebrew thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is
about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is
She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND OBEY! Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove our unbelief!
With those precepts in place in
our thinking; we turn our hearts and minds to learn- as we study His Torah cycle or ancient path
we are returning to. (Psalms 119:105) Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
(Isaiah 58:12)
And they that shall be of you shall
build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many
generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:13)
If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and
call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of YHWH, honorable; and shall honor
him, not
doing your own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking your own
words: (Isaiah 58:14)
Then you shall delight yourself in YHWH; and I will cause you to
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob
thy father: for the mouth of YHWH has spoken it.
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayishlach “And He sent”
Genesis
32:4- 36:43; Obadiah 1:1-21; Hosea 11:7-12:14; Matthew 26:36-46
Strategies given by YHWH
for our deliverance!
(Genesis 32:1)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
went on his way, and the messengers of Elohim met him. (Genesis
32:2) And when Yaʽaqoḇ
saw them, he said, “This
is the camp of Elohim.”
And he called the name of that place Maḥanayim. (Genesis
32:3) And Yaʽaqoḇ
sent messengers before him to Ěsaw
his brother in the land of Sĕʽir, the field
of Eḏom (Genesis
32:4) and he commanded those, saying, “Say this to my master Ěsaw, ‘Your
servant Yaʽaqoḇ
said this, “I
have sojourned with Laḇan and stayed
there until now. (Genesis 32:5) “And I have bulls, and donkeys, flocks, and
male and female servants. And I have sent to inform my master, to find favor in
your eyes.” ’ ” (Genesis 32:6) so the
messengers returned to Yaʽaqoḇ,
saying, “We
came to your brother Ěsaw,
and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.” (Genesis 32:7)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
was greatly afraid and distressed. So he divided the people that were with him,
and the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups, (Genesis
32:8) and he said, “If Ěsaw comes to the one group and attacks it, then
the other group which is left shall escape.” (Genesis
32:9) And Yaʽaqoḇ
said, “O
Elohim of my father Aḇraham and
Elohim of my father Yitsḥaq, יהוה who said to me, ‘Return to your land and
to your relatives, and I do well to you,’ (Genesis
32:10) “I do not deserve the least of all the kind acts and all the
truth which you have shown your servant, for I passed over this Yardĕn with my
staff, and now I have become two groups. (Genesis
32:11) “Deliver me, I pray, from
the hand of my brother, from the hand of Ěsaw, for I fear him, lest he come and
shall smite me and the mother with the children. (Genesis
32:12) “You said, ‘I shall
certainly do good to you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea,
which are too numerous to count.’ ” (Genesis 32:13) And he spent the night there, and took what
came to his hand as a present for Ěsaw his brother – (Genesis
32:14) two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes
and twenty rams, (Genesis 32:15) thirty milk
camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and
ten foals. (Genesis 32:16) And he gave into the hand of his servants,
every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put
some distance between drove and drove.” (Genesis
32:17) And he commanded the first
one, saying, “When Ěsaw my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘to whom do
you belong, and where are you going? And whose are these in front of you?’ (Genesis 32:18) then you shall say, ‘They are your
servant Yaʽaqoḇ’s. It is a
present sent to my master Ěsaw. And
see, he also is behind us.’ ” (Genesis 32:19) So he commanded the second, and the third,
and all who followed the droves, saying, “Speak to Ěsaw this same word when you
find him, (Genesis 32:20) and you shall say,
‘Also look, your servant Yaʽaqoḇ is behind us.’ ” For he said, “Let me
appease him with the present that goes before me, and after that see his face.
He might accept me.” (Genesis 32:21) And the present passed over before him, but
he himself spent the night in the camp. (Genesis
32:22) And he rose up that night
and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and
passed over the ford of Yabboq. (Genesis 32:23) And he took them and sent them over the
stream, and sent over what he had.
Wrestling with YHWH – we too may overcome
and be renamed for His purpose!
(Genesis 32:24) And Yaʽaqoḇ was left
alone. And a Man (Angel or Yahshua)
wrestled with him until the breaking of day. (Genesis
32:25) And when He saw that He
did not overcome him, He touched the socket of his hip. And the socket of Yaʽaqoḇ’s hip was
dislocated as He wrestled with him. (Genesis 32:26) And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.”
But he said, “I am not letting you go until you have blessed me!” (Genesis 32:27)
So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Yaʽaqoḇ.” (Genesis 32:28) And He said, “Your name is no longer called Yaʽaqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl 1, because you have striven with
Elohim and with men, and have overcome.” Footnote: 1 Yisra’ĕl means “to strive
with Ěl, to overcome with Ěl, (then) to rule with Ěl ” (Genesis 32:29)
And Yaʽaqoḇ asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And
He said, “Why do you ask about My Name?” And He blessed him there. (Genesis 32:30)
And Yaʽaqoḇ called the name of the place Peni’ĕl, “For I have
seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.” (Genesis 32:31) And the sun rose on him as he passed over
Penu’ĕl, and he limped on his hip. (Genesis 32:32) That is why the children of Yisra’ĕl to this
day do not eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the socket of the thigh,
because He touched the socket of the thigh of Yaʽaqoḇ, in the
sinew of the hip.
Hasatan’s forces may try and bring fear but
we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and our testimony!
(Genesis 33:1)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
lifted his eyes and looked and saw Ěsaw
coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children among Lĕ’ah,
and Raḥĕl,
and the two female servants. (Genesis 33:2) And he put the female servants and their
children in front, and Lĕ’ah and her children behind, and Raḥĕl and Yosĕph last. (Genesis 33:3)
And he himself passed over before them and bowed himself to the ground
seven times, until he came near to his brother. (Genesis
33:4) And Ěsaw ran to meet him,
and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. (Genesis 33:5)
And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who
are these with you?” And he said, “The children with whom Elohim has favored
your servant.” (Genesis 33:6) Then the female servants came near, they and
their children, and bowed themselves. (Genesis 33:7) And Lĕ’ah also came near with her children,
and they bowed themselves. And Yosĕph and Raḥĕl came near, and they bowed themselves. (Genesis 33:8)
Then Ěsaw said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” And
he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Genesis
33:9) But Ěsaw said, “I have
enough, my brother, let what you have remain yours.” (Genesis
33:10) And Yaʽaqoḇ
said, “No,
please, if I have now found favor in your eyes, then receive my present from my
hand, because I have seen your face like seeing the face of Elohim, and you
were pleased with me. (Genesis 33:11) “Please, take my blessing that is brought to
you, because Elohim has favored me, and because I have all I need.” And
he urged him, and he took it. (Genesis 33:12) And he said, “Let us depart and go, and let
me go before you.” (Genesis 33:13) But he said to him, “My master knows that the
children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And
if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flocks shall die. (Genesis 33:14)
“Please let my master go before his servant and let me lead on slowly
according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and according to the
pace of the children, until I come to my master in Sĕʽir.” (Genesis
33:15) And Ěsaw said, “Please let
me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “Why this?
Let me find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Genesis
33:16) And Ěsaw returned that day
on his way to Sĕʽir. (Genesis 33:17)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
set out to Sukkoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his
livestock. That is why the name of the place is called Sukkoth. (Genesis 33:18)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
came safely to the city of Sheḵem, which is
in the land of Kenaʽan, when he
came from Paddan Aram. And he pitched his tent before the city. (Genesis 33:19)
And he bought the portion of the field where he had pitched his tent,
from the children of Ḥamor, Sheḵem’s father, for one hundred
qesitah. (Genesis 33:20) And he set up an altar there and called it Ěl
Elohĕ Yisra’ĕl.
Uh Oh…. There is but one
Torah (Law) Giver and one Judge and when we try to sit on His Throne- we err
greatly; and we are the ones who get judged!
(Genesis 34:1)
And Dinah, the daughter of Lĕ’ah, whom she had borne to Yaʽaqoḇ,
went out to see the daughters of the land. (Genesis
34:2) And Sheḵem,
son of Ḥamor the Ḥiwwite, prince of the land, saw her and took her and lay
with her, and humbled her. (Genesis 34:3) And his being clung to Dinah the daughter of
Yaʽaqoḇ,
and he loved the girl and spoke kindly to the girl. (Genesis
34:4) And Sheḵem
spoke to his father Ḥamor, saying, “Take
this girl for me for a wife.” (Genesis 34:5) And Yaʽaqoḇ
heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his
livestock in the field, so Yaʽaqoḇ
kept silent until they came. (Genesis 34:6) And Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem,
went out to Yaʽaqoḇ
to speak with him. (Genesis 34:7) And the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very
wroth, because he had done a senseless deed in Yisra’ĕl by lying with Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter, which should not be
done. (Genesis 34:8) But Ḥamor spoke with them, saying, “My son
Sheḵem’s being longs for your
daughter. Please give her to him for a wife. (Genesis
34:9) “And intermarry with us,
give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves, (Genesis 34:10) and dwell with us, and let the land
be before you. Dwell and move about in it, and have possessions in it.” (Genesis 34:11)
And Sheḵem said to her
father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say
to me I give. (Genesis 34:12) “Ask of me a bride price and gift ever so
high, and I give according to what you say to me, but give me the girl for a
wife.” (Genesis 34:13) But the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
answered Sheḵem and Ḥamor
his father, and spoke with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. (Genesis 34:14)
And they said to them, “We are not able to do this matter, to give our
sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us. (Genesis 34:15)
“Only on this condition would we agree to you: If you become as
we are, to have every male of you circumcised, (Genesis
34:16) then we shall give our daughters to you, and take your daughters
to us. And we shall dwell with you, and shall become one people. (Genesis 34:17)
“But if you do not listen to us and be circumcised, we shall take our
daughter and go.” (Genesis 34:18) And their words pleased Ḥamor and Sheḵem,
Ḥamor’s
son. (Genesis 34:19) And the young man did not delay to do this
because he delighted in Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter. Now he was more
respected than all the household of his father. (Genesis
34:20) And Ḥamor and Sheḵem
his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city,
saying, (Genesis 34:21) “These men are at peace
with us, so let them dwell in the land and move about in it. And see, the land
is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters for us for wives, and let
us give them our daughters. (Genesis 34:22) “Only on this condition would the men
agree to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised
as they are circumcised. (Genesis 34:23) “Their herds and their possessions and all
their beasts, shouldn’t they be ours? Only let us agree with them, and let them
dwell with us.” (Genesis 34:24) And all who went out of the gate of his city
listened to Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son;
every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. (Genesis 34:25)
And it came to be on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of
the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ,
Shimʽon and Lĕwi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword
and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. (Genesis 34:26) And they
killed Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son
with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Sheḵem’s house, and went out. (Genesis 34:27)
The sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their
sister. (Genesis 34:28) They took their flocks and their herds, and
their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that, which was in the field,
(Genesis 34:29) and all their wealth. And all their
little ones and their wives they took captive, and they plundered all that was
in the houses. (Genesis 34:30) And Yaʽaqoḇ
said to Shimʽon and Lĕwi, “You have troubled me by making
me a stench among the inhabitants of the land, among the Kenaʽanites
and the Perizzites. And I am few in number, they shall gather themselves
against me and shall smite me, and I shall be destroyed, my household and I.” (Genesis 34:31)
But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a whore?”
Rid ourselves of IDOLS- (Perhaps people or things we consider
more precious than building relationship with YHWH! YIKES!
(Genesis 35:1)
And Elohim said to Yaʽaqoḇ,
“Arise, go up to Bĕyth Ěl and dwell there. And make an
altar there to Ěl
that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Ěsaw your brother.” (Genesis 35:2)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put
away the foreign mighty ones that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and
change your garments. (Genesis
35:3) “And let us arise and go up to Bĕyth Ěl, and let me make there an altar
to Ěl, which answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me in the
way which I have gone.” (Genesis 35:4) So they gave Yaʽaqoḇ
all the foreign mighty ones which were in their hands, and all their earrings
which were in their ears. And Yaʽaqoḇ
hid them under the terebinth tree which was near Sheḵem.
(Genesis 35:5)
And they departed, and the fear of Elohim was upon the cities that were
all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ.
(Genesis 35:6)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
came to Luz that is Bĕyth Ěl, which is in the land of Kenaʽan,
he and all the people who were with him. (Genesis
35:7) And he built there an altar
and called the place El Bĕyth Ěl, because there Elohim appeared to him when he
fled from the face of his brother. (Genesis 35:8) And Deḇorah, Riḇqah’s nurse, died, and she was
buried below Bĕyth
Ěl under the terebinth tree. So
the name of it was called Allon Baḵuth. (Genesis 35:9)
And Elohim appeared to Yaʽaqoḇ
again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him. (Genesis
35:10) And Elohim said to him,
“Your name is Yaʽaqoḇ,
your name is no longer called Yaʽaqoḇ,
but Yisra’ĕl
is your name.” So He called his name Yisra’ĕl. (Genesis
35:11) And Elohim said to him, “I
am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall
be from you, and sovereigns come from your body. (Genesis
35:12) “And the land which I gave
Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq I give to
you. And to your seed after you I give this land.” (Genesis
35:13) And Elohim went up from
him in the place where He had spoken with him. (Genesis
35:14) And Yaʽaqoḇ
set up a standing column in the place where He had spoken with him, a monument
of stone. And he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
Beth El: Place-town of Elohim- YHWH! Flee Sexual perversion or lose birthright-
(Genesis 35:15) And Yaʽaqoḇ
called the name of the place where Elohim spoke with him, Bĕyth Ěl. (Genesis
35:16) then they set out from Bĕyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there
was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥĕl began to give birth, and had
great difficulty giving birth. (Genesis 35:17) And it came to be, as she was having great
difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is
another son for you.” (Genesis 35:18) And it came to be, as her life was going out
– for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him
Binyamin. (Genesis 35:19) So Raḥĕl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath
that is Bĕyth Leḥem. (Genesis 35:20) And Yaʽaqoḇ
set a standing column on her grave, which is the monument of Raḥĕl’s grave to this day. (Genesis
35:21) And Yisra’ĕl set out and
pitched his tent beyond the tower of Ěḏer. (Genesis 35:22)
And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl dwelt in that land, that Re’uḇĕn
went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine.
And Yisra’ĕl heard about it. Now the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
were twelve: (Genesis 35:23) the sons of Lĕ’ah
were Re’uḇĕn,
Yaʽaqoḇ’s first-born, and Shimʽon,
and Lĕwi,
and Yehuḏah, and Yissasḵar,
and Zeḇulun; (Genesis
35:24) the sons of Raḥĕl were Yosĕph and Binyamin; (Genesis 35:25) the sons of Bilhah, Raḥĕl’s female
servant, were Dan and Naphtali; (Genesis 35:26)
and the sons of Zilpah, Lĕ’ah’s female servant, were Gaḏ
and Ashĕr.
These were the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
who were born to him in Paddan Aram. (Genesis 35:27) And Yaʽaqoḇ
came to his father Yitsḥaq at Mamrĕ,
or Qiryath Arba, that is Ḥeḇron, where Aḇraham
and Yitsḥaq had dwelt. (Genesis 35:28) And the days of Yitsḥaq were one hundred and
eighty years. (Genesis 35:29) So Yitsḥaq breathed his last and died, and
was gathered to his people, aged and satisfied of days. And his sons; Ěsaw and
Yaʽaqoḇ
buried him.
Esaw- the father of the Edomites who are destroyed by YHWH down
to the last man in the last days! (He even gives
us reasons why---“for the shedding of innocent blood”)
(Genesis 36:1) And this is the genealogy of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom.
(Genesis 36:2)
Ěsaw took his wives from the daughters of Kenaʽan:
Aḏah the daughter of Ělon the Ḥittite, and Oholiḇamah
the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Tsiḇʽon
the Ḥiwwite; (Genesis 36:3) and Basemath,
Yishmaʽĕl’s daughter, sister of Neḇayoth.
(Genesis 36:4)
And Aḏah bore
Eliphaz to Ěsaw,
and Basemath bore Reʽuw’ĕl. (Genesis
36:5) And Oholiḇamah
bore Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam,
and Qoraḥ. These were the sons of Ěsaw who were born to him in the land of
Kenaʽan. (Genesis
36:6) And Ěsaw took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all
the beings of his household, and his herds and all his beasts, and all his
possessions which he had gained in the land of Kenaʽan,
and went to a land away from the presence of his brother Yaʽaqoḇ.
(Genesis 36:7)
Their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the
land of their sojournings could not support them because of their herds. (Genesis 36:8)
So Ěsaw dwelt in Mount Sĕʽir. Ěsaw is Eḏom.
(Genesis 36:9)
And this is the genealogy of Ěsaw the father of the Eḏomites
in Mount Sĕʽir.
(Genesis 36:10)
These were the names of Ěsaw’s sons: Eliphaz son of Aḏah,
wife of Ěsaw,
and Reʽuw’ĕl son of Basemath, wife of
Ěsaw. (Genesis 36:11) And the sons of Eliphaz were Tĕman, Omar,
Tsepho, and Gatam, and Qenaz. (Genesis 36:12) And Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz,
Ěsaw’s son, and she bore Amalĕq to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Aḏah,
Ěsaw’s wife. (Genesis 36:13) These were
the sons of Reʽuw’ĕl: Naḥath and Zeraḥ, Shammah
and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Ěsaw’s
wife. (Genesis 36:14) These were the sons of Oholiḇamah,
Ěsaw’s wife, the daughter of Anah,
the daughter of Tsiḇʽon.
And she bore to Ěsaw:
Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam,
and Qoraḥ. (Genesis 36:15) These were the chiefs of the sons of Ěsaw.
The sons of Eliphaz, the first-born son of Ěsaw, were Chief Tĕman, Chief Omar,
Chief Tsepho, Chief Qenaz, (Genesis 36:16) Chief Qoraḥ, Chief Gatam, Chief Amalĕq.
These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Eḏom.
They were the sons of Aḏah. (Genesis 36:17)
And these were the sons of Reʽuw’ĕl, Ěsaw’s son: Chief Naḥath, Chief
Zeraḥ, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reʽuw’ĕl in the land of Eḏom.
These were the sons of Basemath, Ěsaw’s wife. (Genesis
36:18) And these were the sons of
Oholiḇamah, Ěsaw’s wife: Chief Yeʽush,
Chief Yaʽlam, and Chief Qoraḥ. These
were the chiefs descending from Oholiḇamah,
Ěsaw’s wife, the daughter of Anah. (Genesis 36:19)
These were the sons of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom,
and these were their chiefs. (Genesis 36:20) These were the sons of Sĕʽir
the Ḥorite who inhabited the land: Lotan, and Shoḇal,
and Tsiḇʽon, and Anah, (Genesis 36:21) and Dishon, and Ětser, and Dishan.
These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites, the sons of Sĕʽir,
in the land of Eḏom. (Genesis 36:22)
And the sons of Lotan were Ḥori and Hĕmam. Lotan’s sister was Timna. (Genesis 36:23) And these were the sons of Shoḇal:
Alwan, and Manaḥath, and Ěyḇal,
Shepho, and Onam. (Genesis 36:24) And these were the sons of Tsiḇʽon:
both Ayah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the water in the wilderness as he
fed the donkeys of his father Tsiḇʽon.
(Genesis 36:25)
And these were the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholiḇamah
the daughter of Anah. (Genesis 36:26) And these were the sons of Dishon: Ḥemdan,
and Eshban, and Yithran, and Keran. (Genesis 36:27) These were the sons of Ětser: Bilhan, and Zaʽawan,

Chief Dishon, Chief Ětser, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of
the Ḥorites, according to their chiefs in the land of Sĕʽir. (Genesis 36:31)
And these were the sovereigns who reigned in the land of Eḏom
before any sovereign reigned over the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Genesis
36:32) And Bela the son of Beʽor
reigned in Eḏom, and the
name of his city was Dinhaḇah. (Genesis 36:33)
And Bela died, and Yoḇaḇ
son of Zeraḥ of Botsrah reigned in his place. (Genesis
36:34) And Yoḇaḇ
died, and Ḥusham of the land of the Tĕmanites
reigned in his place. (Genesis 36:35) And Ḥusham died, and Haḏaḏ
son of Beḏaḏ,
who smote Miḏyan in the
field of Mo’aḇ,
reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Awith. (Genesis 36:36)
And Haḏaḏ
died, and Samlah of Masrĕqah
reigned in his place. (Genesis 36:37) And Samlah died, and Sha’ul of Reḥoḇoth
by the River reigned in his place. (Genesis 36:38) And Sha’ul died, and Baʽal-Ḥanan
son of Aḵbor reigned in his place. (Genesis 36:39)
And Baʽal-Ḥanan son
of Aḵbor died, and Haḏar
reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Paʽu.
And his wife’s
name was Mehĕtab’ĕl, the daughter of Matrĕḏ,
the daughter of Mĕyzahaḇ.
(Genesis 36:40)
And these were the names of the chiefs of Ěsaw, according to their clans
and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alwah, Chief Yethĕth, (Genesis 36:41)
Chief Oholiḇamah, Chief Ělah, Chief Pinon, (Genesis 36:42)
Chief Qenaz, Chief Tĕman, Chief Miḇtsar, (Genesis 36:43)
Chief Maḡdi’ĕl, Chief Iram. These were the
chiefs of Eḏom, according
to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Ěsaw was the father of the Eḏomites.
Edom (Muslim/Arabic countries) is totally
destroyed in the last days and He even tells us why! “In That Day” is a Hebrew
idiom for the day of Jacob’s Troubles. Believer DO NOT line up your words with
the Philistines (Palestinians)!
(Obadiah 1:1)
The vision of Oḇaḏyah:
This is what the Master יהוה said
concerning Eḏom. We have
heard a report from יהוה, and a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,
“Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle!” (Obadiah
1:2) “See, I have made you small
among the nations, you are greatly despised. (Obadiah
1:3) “The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who
dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose dwelling is high, who says in your
heart, ‘Who shall bring me down to the ground?’ (Obadiah
1:4) “Though you raise high as
the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I shall bring you down,” declares יהוה. (Obadiah 1:5) “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night,
how ruined you would have been! Would they not steal till they had enough? If
grape-gatherers had come to you, would they not leave gleanings? (Obadiah 1:6)
“How Ěsaw shall be searched out! His hidden treasures shall be sought
out! (Obadiah 1:7) “All your allies shall send you forth to the border;
your friends shall deceive you and overpower you. They make your bread a snare
under you, without you discerning it! (Obadiah 1:8) “In that day,” declares יהוה, “I shall destroy the wise men
from Eḏom, and discernment from the mountains of Ěsaw! (Obadiah 1:9) “And your mighty men shall be discouraged, O Tĕman, so
that everyone from the mountains of Ěsaw is cut off by slaughter. (Obadiah 1:10)
“Because of your violence against your
brother Yaʽaqoḇ, let shame cover you. And you
shall be cut off forever. (Some translations say because of shedding of innocent blood) (Obadiah 1:11)
“In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers
took captive his wealth, when foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for
Yerushalayim, you also were like one of them! (Obadiah
1:12) “And you should not have
looked on your brother’s day in the day of his estrangement, nor rejoiced over
the children of Yehuḏah in the day of their destruction, nor made your mouth
great in the day of distress, (Obadiah 1:13) nor have entered the gate of My people in the
day of their calamity, nor looked down on their evil in the day of their
calamity, nor have seized their wealth in the day of their calamity, (Obadiah 1:14)
nor have stood at the parting of the way to cut off his fugitives, nor
handed over his survivors in the day of distress. (Obadiah
1:15) “For the Day
of יהוה is near upon all the gentiles. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward
shall come back on your own head. (Obadiah 1:16) “For as you have drunk on my set-apart
mountain, so do all the gentiles drink continually. And they shall drink and
shall swallow, and they shall be as though they had never been. (Obadiah 1:17)
“But on Mount Tsiyon there shall be an escape 1,
and they shall be set-apart. And the house of Yaʽaqoḇ shall
possess their possessions. Footnote: 1 Isaiah
4:2-3, Joel 2:32, Revelation 14:1. (Obadiah
1:18) “And the house of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be a fire,
and the house of Yosĕph a flame, but the house
of Ěsaw for stubble. And they
shall burn among them and they shall consume them, so
that no survivor is left of the house of Ěsaw.” For יהוה has spoken. (Obadiah 1:19) And they shall possess the South with the
mountains of Ěsaw, and low country with the Philistines (Palestinians). And they shall possess the fields of Ephrayim and
the fields of Shomeron, and Binyamin with Gilʽaḏ, (Obadiah 1:20) and the exiles of this host of the
children of Yisra’ĕl possess that of the Kenaʽanites as
far as Tsarephath, and the exiles of Yerushalayim who are in Sepharaḏ possess
the cities of the South. (Obadiah 1:21) And saviors shall come to Mount Tsiyon to
judge the mountains of Ěsaw. And the reign shall
belong to יהוה1. Footnote: 1 Psalms

Admah and Zeboim were numbered with Sodom
and Gomorrah- but we receive MERCY! (Ephraim is the
scattered tribes who are grafted into ISRAEL- US!)
(Hosea 11:7)
“My people are bent towards backsliding from me. Though they call to the
Most High, He lifts none of them up. (Hosea 11:8) “How could I give you up, Ephrayim? How could
I hand you over, Yisra’ĕl? How could I make you like Aḏmah?
How could I set you like Tseḇoyim? My
heart turns within me, all my compassion is kindled. (Hosea
11:9) “I shall not let the heat of my wrath burn; I shall not
turn to destroy Ephrayim. (Hallelu-Yah-
this is us!)I am Ěl, and not man, the Set-apart One in your midst, and I
shall not come in enmity. (Hosea 11:10) “Let them follow יהוה. Like a lion
He roars. When He roars, then sons shall tremble from the west. (Hosea 11:11)
“They shall tremble like a bird from Mitsrayim, and like a dove from the
land of Ashshur. And I shall let them dwell in their own houses,” declares יהוה. (Hosea 11:12)
“Ephrayim has surrounded me with lying, and the house of Yisra’ĕl
with deceit. But Yehuḏah is still wandering with Ěl, and is
true to the Set-apart One.” (Hosea 12:1) Ephrayim is feeding on wind, and pursuing an
east wind. All the day he increases falsehood and ruin. And they make a
covenant with Ashshur (Easter),
and oil is sent to Mitsrayim. (Hosea 12:2) And יהוה has a
controversy with Yehuḏah, to punish Yaʽaqoḇ according to his ways, to repay him according to his
deeds. (Hosea 12:3) He took his brother by the heel in the womb,
and in his strength he strove with Elohim. (Hosea
12:4) He strove with the
Messenger and overcame 1; he wept and sought His favor. He found Him
in Bĕyth Ěl, and there He spoke to us – Footnote: 1
Genesis. 32:28. (Hosea 12:5) even יהוה Elohim of
hosts, יהוה is His remembrance. (Hosea 12:6) Therefore, return to your Elohim. Guard
kindness and right-ruling, and wait on your Elohim continually. (Hosea 12:7) A
merchant! In his hand are scales of deceit, he loved to oppress. (Hosea 12:8)
And Ephrayim says, “Indeed, I have become rich, I have found wealth for
myself. In all my labors they shall find in me no crookedness that is sin.” (Hosea 12:9)
“But I am יהוה your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, again I shall make you
dwell in tents as in the days of the appointed time 1.
Footnote: 1 Or festival. (Hosea 12:10)
“And I have spoken to the prophets, and have increased visions. And
through the prophets I gave parables.” (Hosea 12:11) Is Gilʽaḏ wicked? Certainly, they have been false! In Gilgal they
have offered bulls. Also their altars are as heaps on a plowed field. (Hosea 12:12)
And when Yaʽaqoḇ fled to the country of Aram, Yisra’ĕl served for a wife,
and for a wife he kept watch. (Hosea 12:13) And by a prophet יהוה brought
Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, and by a prophet he was watched over. (Hosea
12:14) Ephrayim has provoked most
bitterly. So his Master left his blood-guilt on him, and repaid him for his
reproach.
Eat the Word which is the BREAD OF LIFE! Be washed in His
blood! Gethsemane means “wine press” and it relates to us being squeezed and
pressed like Messiah! We really won’t be able to glory in our own abilities as
we all stumble in many ways…
(Matthew 26:26)
And as they were eating, יהושע took bread, and having blessed, broke and
gave it to the taught ones and said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” (Matthew 26:27)
And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. (Matthew
26:28) “For this is my blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many
for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew
26:29) “But
I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on
till that day when I drink it anew with you in the reign of My Father.” (Matthew 26:30)
And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives. (Matthew 26:31)
Then יהושע said to them, “All of you shall stumble
in me this night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the Shepherd, and
the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. ’1
Footnote: Mark 14:27, Zechariah 13:7. (Matthew 26:32)
“But after I have been raised, I shall go before
you into Galil.” (Matthew 26:33) And Kĕpha answering, said to Him, “Even if
all stumble in You, I shall never stumble.” (Matthew
26:34) יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that
this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times.” (Matthew 26:35)
Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I shall not deny
you!” All the taught ones said the same too. (Matthew
26:36) Then יהושע came with them
to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the taught ones, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
Loved One, remember to share our Torah Studies with Loved
Ones as we must be about our Father’s business- and this is what glorifies the
Father- that we produce
fruit; therefore my prayer and decree for you: (John 15:1) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. (John 15:2) Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away,
and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:3) Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken
to you. (John 15:4) Abide in me, and I in
you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in me. (John
15:5) I
am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is
that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:6) If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a
branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and
burned. (John 15:7) If you abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (John 15:8) By this my Father
is glorified, that you bear much fruit and
so prove to be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father has
loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. (John 15:10) If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just
as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful
and targeted prayers for us- your prayers are a lifeline to the Kingdom! My
final prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW seek His face- getting rid of
all unbelief by fasting and praying and OVERCOME our own flesh to rid ourselves
of UNBELIEF and have victory prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify
our Father in Heaven! Who
are we becoming? The manifested sons and daughters of Yahweh! Who are we? Many think that
they are the bride because they went forward one time and “Accepted Jesus” (NOT!
Bear fruit worthy of repentance!). He doesn’t need our acceptance He wants
us to obey Him so He can bless us (Which
is LOVE- John 14:21) and we will grow into His image! Where is our love for
others? Do we really think we are “Torah Keepers” If we do not love others? (John 13:35) By this shall all men
know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to
another.
Not everyone who
calls Him Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom, but only those who do the will of
the Father! Yahshua pointed out who family really is Loved one; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people,
behold, his mother and his brethren
stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Matthew
12:47) Then one said unto him,
Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with
you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told
him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Matthew 12:49)
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50)
Whosoever
shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and
sister, and mother. There you have truth about who
Yahshua says is FAMILY! That’s You and I when we determine to seek Him with all
our heart!
Shalom to your heart!

Continued
explanation of our 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.
