Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
 
This study is attached for ease of print and study format- YHWH is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW HIM and call on His name 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 (as always) at end of this week’s study-

What a fabulous Season of our Joy shared with wonderful believing brothers and sisters in Africa! The sort of tents they have here are so much better made than what I always bought and used in Texas. They use canvas and not nylon—wow. This is the sort of tent one might actually need during troubling times! I was told by a dear friend that they should last 20-30 years! Reg and Lynette- thanks for your marvelous hospitality and friendship! All the wonderful believers in Africa- THANK YOU- you are dear to our hearts--we made some wonderful memories! Let’s go DO THE GOSPEL as Lindsay Ann told me 3 times!

There appears to be a greater shaking coming on the USA and the entire planet.  Volkswagen, now Audi and others lead to a meltdown in the European Union—seems quite planned for a breakup of the E.U. so that all (Yep- as the USA is prepared also now to GET IT DONE) can melt down their FIAT currencies---wipe out debt with nonpayment of bonds, etc. and all countries come up “Scott-free” as to blame- with new “Asset backed” currencies! They all seek greater control over the citizens of the world. This is a great time for believers to move away from fear and uncertainty and draw near to the Creator…who laughs at these wicked men and holds them in derision!
Psalms 2:1 Why do the gentiles (Nations) rage 1, and the peoples meditate emptiness? (Vain things) Footnote: 1 Acts 4:25-26. Psalms 2:2 the sovereigns of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together, Against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say, Psalms 2:3 “Let us tear apart their bonds, and throw away their ropes from us.” Psalms 2:4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them. Psalms 2:5 Then He speaks to them in His wrath, and troubles them in His rage, saying, Psalms 2:6 “But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, my set-apart mountain.” Psalms 2:7 “I inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to me, ‘you are My Son, today I have brought you forth. Psalms 2:8 ‘Ask of me, and I make the gentiles your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession. Psalms 2:9 ‘Break them with a rod of iron; dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” Psalms 2:10 and now, be wise, O sovereigns; be instructed, you rulers of the earth. Psalms 2:11 Serve יהוה with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psalms 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be enraged, and you perish in the way, for soon His wrath is soon to be kindled. Blessed are all those taking refuge in Him.
 
 
Many of you loved ones may already be experiencing the economic fallout and the general scorn (hate) for believers-- from Africa, Europe, Costa Rica, Panama, to the USA (Worldwide). Whether they finish the GLOBAL RESET of currencies (Asset backed and remove the term FIAT) and postpone financial meltdown or determine to start their ENDGAME and continue to collapse the world economy purposely. I expect we shall all know on or before the end of this year—hmm maybe end of November?  ISIS is being removed from Syria as all countries now need them removed---they served their purpose in creating need to all be “in union” in trade relations---so all can now MAKE MONEY and fix the world economy—or at least gain more control and ability to control the people!
 
We will (Read MUST) rely more and more on Him and His plan as we seek Him diligently in prayer and fasting. (Hebrews 12:22)  But you have drawn near to Mount Tsiyon and to the city of the living Elohim, to the heavenly Yerushalayim, to myriads of messengers, (Hebrews 12:23)  to the entire gathering and assembly of the first-born having been enrolled in heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:24)  and to יהושע the Mediator 1 of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than the blood of Heḇel. Footnote: 1 See 8:6. (Hebrews 12:25)  Take heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, (Hebrews 12:26)  whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” (Hebrews 12:27)  And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the removal of what is shaken – as having been made – so that the unshaken matters might remain. (Hebrews 12:28)  Therefore, receiving an unshakeable reign, let us hold the favor, through which we serve Elohim pleasingly with reverence and awe, (Hebrews 12:29) for indeed, our Elohim is a consuming fire.
 
Apparently, whatever we are found trusting better have the solid foundation under it which is Moses (Torah) and the prophets. A close friend recently reminded of the verse below. (Proverbs 28:8)  He who increases his possessions by interest and profit gathers it for him who shows favor to the poor. (Proverbs 28:9)  He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination1. Footnote: 1 See also 15:29, Isaiah 59:1-2, John 9:31, 1 John 3:22. (Proverbs 28:10)  He, who causes the straight to go astray in an evil way, falls into his own pit; but the perfect inherit the good. (Proverbs 28:11)  A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor who has understanding searches him out.
 
I can also say; whoever rejects the Holy Spirit (Yes, even unknowingly) will also find themselves hopeless! Why do I make such a bold statement? Many Torah keepers have unknowingly rejected the Holy Spirit and many Christians have rejected the Torah and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Why do they reject the Holy Spirit? They are FEARFUL OF THE SUPERNATURAL and afraid of getting a demon. We’ll look together…
 
First Yahushua (Yeshua, Jesus) was filled with the Holy Spirit
 
(Mark 1:8)  “I indeed did immerse you in water, but He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit.” (Mark 1:9)  And it came to be in those days that יהושע came from Natsareth of Galil, and was immersed by Yoḥanan in the Yardĕn. (Mark 1:10)  And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit coming down on Him like a dove. (Mark 1:11)  And a voice came out of the heavens, You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight.” (Mark 1:12)  And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. (Mark 1:13)  And He was there in the wilderness forty days (fasting and testing by hasatan), tried by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the messengers (Angels) attended Him. (Mark 1:14)  And after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע came to Galil, proclaiming the Good News of the reign of Elohim, (Mark 1:15) and saying, “The time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
 
Then Yahushua spends the remainder of Chapter One, all of Chapter Two casting out demons and healing the sick, and we pick up the story in Chapter Three.
 
(Mark 3:10)  For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions fell upon Him to touch Him. (Mark 3:11)  And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of Elohim.” (Mark 3:12)  But He warned them many times that they should not make Him known. (Mark 3:13)  And He went up on the mountain and called to Him whom He wished, and they came to Him. (Mark 3:14)  And He appointed twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to proclaim, (Mark 3:15) and to possess authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.
 
Next we see hasatan’s counter attack and accusing (hasatan always uses those who are choosing Him as their God and Father). This attack is always guaranteed as hasatan comes to steal the seed (the Word) that was planted that will produce fruit that remains. Hasatan is not fearful of you and me; but he is deathly afraid of Yahushua’s seed (His word) because it has the power within itself to produce fruit it was sent for. This is why we must always stand firm in the Word (Yahushua) that we might receive the thing promised, and not agree with facts or what is seen. What is “seen” (facts) is/are temporal (temporary) and what is “unseen” is eternal- Yahushua said, “My words are life and health and healing to all your flesh,” and “Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words will remain forever.” The accusation is that the power is not from the Holy Spirit but Beelzebub (hasatan).
 
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ASSIGN THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SET APART SPIRIT TO DEMONS- THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THIS OFFENSE!
 
(Mark 3:21)  And when His relatives heard about this, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.” (Mark 3:22)  And the scribes who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Beʽelzebul,” and, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
 
(Mark 3:23)  And calling them near He said to them in parables, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan? (Mark 3:24)  “And if a reign is divided against itself, that reign is unable to stand. (Mark 3:25)  “And if a house is divided against itself, that house is unable to stand. (Mark 3:26)  “And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he is unable to stand, but has an end. (Mark 3:27)  “No one is able to enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house. (Mark 3:28)  “Truly, I say to you, all the sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they speak, (Mark 3:29)  but he who blasphemes against the Set-apart Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is subject to everlasting judgment,” (Mark 3:30)  because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
 
 
Last week we discussed leprosy and we now turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion and about YHWH’s plan for CLEANSING THE LEPER. Remember He promises IF we repent and obey Him He will put (allow) none of the diseases of the Egyptians on us! (Exo 15:26)  And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.”
 
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Metzorah- Cleansing the Leper

Leviticus 14:1-15:33; Malachi 3:1-4-6 (Extended); Romans 6:9-23 (Extended);
2 Samuel Chapters 4, 5, and 6
 
(Leviticus 14:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 14:2) “This shall be the Torah of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest, (Leviticus 14:3)  and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look and see, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, (Leviticus 14:4)  then the priest shall command, and he shall take for him who is to be cleansed two live and clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (Leviticus 14:5)  “And the priest shall command, and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. (Leviticus 14:6)  “Let him take the live bird and the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. (Leviticus 14:7)  “And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird loose in the open field. (Leviticus 14:8)  “And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair and wash himself in water, and shall be clean. Then after that he comes into the camp, but shall stay outside his tent seven days. (Leviticus 14:9)  “And on the seventh day it shall be that he shaves all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shaves off. And he shall wash his garments and wash his body in water, and shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:10)  “And on the eighth day he takes two male lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, and three-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log of oil. (Leviticus 14:11)  “And the priest who is cleansing shall present the man who is to be cleansed, with these offerings, before יהוה, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 14:12)  “And the priest shall take one male lamb and bring it as a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:13)  “And he shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a set-apart place. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest. It is most set-apart. (Leviticus 14:14)  “And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus 14:15)  “And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. (Leviticus 14:16)  “And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:17)  “And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest puts some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering. (Leviticus 14:18)  “And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he puts on the head of him who is to be cleansed. And the priest shall make atonement for him before יהוה.
 
(Leviticus 14:19)  “And the priest shall make the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Then afterwards he slaughters the burnt offering. (Leviticus 14:20)  “And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:21)  “But if he is poor and is unable to afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log of oil, (Leviticus 14:22) and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, and one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. (Leviticus 14:23)  “And he shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:24)  “And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:25)  “And he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus 14:26)  “Then the priest pours some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. (Leviticus 14:27)  “And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:28)  “And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering. (Leviticus 14:29)  “And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he puts on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:30)  “And he shall prepare one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, (Leviticus 14:31) that which he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:32)  “This is the Torah for one who had an infection of leprosy, who is unable to afford for his cleansing.”
 
The Scriptures below reminded me of mold being found and making some real estate worthless at great financial loss here in USA! (If only we knew how important obedience is)
 
(Leviticus 14:33)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 14:34) “When you come into the land of Kenaʽan, which I am giving you as a possession, and I put a plague of leprosy in a house in the land of your possession, (Leviticus 14:35) then shall the one who owns the house come and inform the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house.’  (Leviticus 14:36)  “And the priest shall command, and they shall empty the house, before the priest goes in to look at to look at the house. (Leviticus 14:37)  “And he shall look at the plague and see, if the plague is on the walls of the house with sunken places, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall, (Leviticus 14:38)  then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. (Leviticus 14:39)  “And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look and see, if the plague has spread on the walls of the house, (Leviticus 14:40)  then the priest shall command, and they shall remove the stones with the plague in them, and they shall throw them outside the city, into an unclean place, (Leviticus 14:41)  while he lets the house be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. (Leviticus 14:42)  “And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and take other mortar and plaster the house. (Leviticus 14:43)  “And if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has removed the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, (Leviticus 14:44)  then the priest shall come and look and see, if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house, it is unclean. (Leviticus 14:45)  “And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall bring them outside the city to an unclean place. (Leviticus 14:46)  “And he who goes into the house, all the days while it is shut up, becomes unclean until evening. (Leviticus 14:47)  “And he who lies down in the house has to wash his garments, and he who eats in the house has to wash his garments. (Leviticus 14:48)  “However, if the priest indeed comes in and looks at it and sees that the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. (Leviticus 14:49)  “And to cleanse the house, he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (Leviticus 14:50)  “And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water, (Leviticus 14:51)  and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and shall sprinkle the house seven times. (Leviticus 14:52)  “He shall thus cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the live bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet, (Leviticus 14:53) and he shall let the live bird loose outside the city in the open field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:54)  “This is the Torah for any infection of leprosy, and eruption, (Leviticus 14:55) and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house, (Leviticus 14:56)  and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, (Leviticus 14:57)  to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the Torah of leprosy.”
 
Discharges from the flesh
 
(Leviticus 15:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 15:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his flesh, his discharge is unclean. (Leviticus 15:3)  ‘And this is his uncleanness in regard to his discharge; whether his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh is stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. (Leviticus 15:4)  ‘Any bed becomes unclean on which he who has the discharge lies, and any object on which he sits becomes unclean. (Leviticus 15:5)  ‘And anyone who touches his bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:6)  ‘And he who sits on any object on which he who has the discharge sat, has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:7)  ‘And he who touches the flesh of him who has the discharge has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and shall be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:8)  ‘And when he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:9)  ‘Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides becomes unclean. (Leviticus 15:10)  ‘And whoever touches any of that which was under him is unclean until evening. And he who is carrying them up has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:11)  ‘And anyone whom he who has the discharge touches without rinsing his hands in water, shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:12)  ‘And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharge touches has to be broken, and every wooden vessel has to be rinsed in water. (Leviticus 15:13)  ‘And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his flesh in running water, and be clean. (Leviticus 15:14)  ‘And on the eighth day he takes for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and shall come before יהוה, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall give them to the priest. (Leviticus 15:15)  ‘And the priest shall prepare them, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him before יהוה because of his discharge. (Leviticus 15:16)  ‘And when a man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:17)  ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:18)  ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:19)  ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:20)  ‘And whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on is unclean. (Leviticus 15:21)  ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:22)  ‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:23)  ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:24)  ‘And if any man lies with her at all, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days. And any bed he lies on is unclean. (Leviticus 15:25)  ‘And when a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her monthly separation, or when she discharges beyond her usual time of monthly separation, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her monthly separation. She is unclean. (Leviticus 15:26)  ‘Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge is to her as the bed of her monthly separation. And whatever she sits on is unclean, as the uncleanness of her monthly separation. (Leviticus 15:27)  ‘And anyone who touches them is unclean, and shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:28)  ‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she is clean. (Leviticus 15:29)  ‘And on the eighth day she takes for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 15:30)  ‘And the priest shall prepare the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and the priest shall make atonement for her before יהוה for the discharge of her uncleanness. (Leviticus 15:31)  ‘Thus you shall separate the children of Yisra’ĕl from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they defile My Dwelling Place which is in their midst. (Leviticus 15:32)  ‘This is the Torah for one who has a discharge, and for him who emits semen and is unclean thereby, (Leviticus 15:33) and for her who is sick in her monthly separation, and for one who has a discharge, either man or woman, and for him who lies with an unclean woman.’ ”
 
YAHUAH (Yahweh) CHANGES NOT (Also Hebrews 13:8)
 
(Malachi 3:1)  “See, I am sending my messenger 1, and he shall prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Hĕḵal (Temple), even the Messenger (Messiah) 2 of the covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said יהוה of hosts. Footnotes: 1 generally interpreted as Yoḥanan the Immerser. 2 The Messiah, obviously. (Malachi 3:2)  “And who is able to bear the day of His coming, and who is able to stand when He appears? He is like the fire of a refiner, and like the soap of a launderer. (Malachi 3:3)  “And He shall sit as a refiner and a cleanser of silver. And He shall cleanse the sons of Lĕwi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall belong to יהוה, bringing near an offering in righteousness. (Malachi 3:4)  “Then shall the offering of Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim be pleasant to יהוה, as in the days of old, as in former years. (Malachi 3:5)  “And I shall draw near to you for right-ruling. And I shall be a swift witness against the practicers of witchcraft, and against adulterers, and against them that swear to falsehood, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages and widows and the fatherless, and those who turn away a sojourner and do not fear me,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:6)  “For I am יהוה, I shall not change 1, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end. Footnote: 1 James 1:17. (Malachi 3:7)  “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my laws and did not guard them. Turn back to me, and I shall turn back to you,” said יהוה of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what shall we turn back?’ (Malachi 3:8)  “Would a man rob Elohim? Yet you are robbing me! But you said, ‘In what have we robbed you?’ In the tithe and the offering! (Malachi 3:9)  “You have cursed me with a curse, for you are robbing me, this nation, all of it!
 
The “STOREHOUSE” may be a congregation (those who spiritually feed you) but likely we are still accountable to Him for His tithe and offerings! Remember additionally who Yahweh commands the tithe for-
 
 (James 1:27) Clean (Pure) and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained (Unspotted - unblemished from sin) from the world. (Exodus 22:22)  “Do not afflict any widow or fatherless child (orphan). (Deuteronomy 10:17)  “For יהוה your Elohim is Elohim of mighty ones and Master of masters, the great Ěl, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. (Deuteronomy 10:18)  “He executes right-ruling for the fatherless (orphans) and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and a garment. (Deuteronomy 24:19)  “When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. Let it be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that יהוה your Elohim might bless you in all the work of your hands.
 
(Deuteronomy 26:12)  “When you have completed tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Lĕwite (Sold out to Yah and has no possessions), to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and have been satisfied, (Deuteronomy 26:13)  then you shall say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘I have put away the set-apart portion from my house, and also have given it to the Lĕwite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your command which You have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commands, nor have I forgotten. (Deuteronomy 26:14)  ‘I have not eaten any of it when in neither mourning, nor have I removed any of it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to all that you have commanded me. (Deuteronomy 26:15)  ‘Look from your set-apart dwelling place, from the heavens, and bless your people Yisra’ĕl and the land which You have given us, as you swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ (Deuteronomy 26:16) “Today יהוה your Elohim is commanding you to do these laws and right-rulings. And you shall guard and do them with all your heart and with all your being. (Deuteronomy 26:17)  “You have today caused יהוה to proclaim to be your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and His commands, and His right-rulings, and to obey His voice. (Deuteronomy 26:18)  “And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His commands, (Deuteronomy 26:19) so as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
 
 
Great Promises for tithing—BUT WHERE is the storehouse? I suspect- widows and orphans and those actually out DOING THE GOSPEL—Torah- Prophets- and Renewed Covenant!
 
(Malachi 3:10)  “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in my house. And please prove me in this,” said יהוה of hosts, “whether I do not open for you the windows of the heavens, and shall pour out for you boundless blessing! (Malachi 3:11)  “And I shall rebuke the devourer for you, so that it does not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor does the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:12)  And all nations shall call you blessed, for you shall be a land of delight,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:13)  “Your words have been harsh against me,” said יהוה, “but you have said, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ (Malachi 3:14)  “You have said, ‘It is worthless to serve Elohim. And what did we gain when we guarded His Charge, and when we walked as mourners before יהוה of hosts? (Malachi 3:15)  ‘And now we are calling the proud blessed – not only are the doers of wrongness built up, but they also try Elohim and escape.’ ” (Malachi 3:16)  Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. (Malachi 3:17)  “And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured possession. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. (Malachi 3:18)  “Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him. (Malachi 4:1)  “For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up;” said יהוה of hosts, “which leaves to them neither root nor branch. (Malachi 4:2)  “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall. (Malachi 4:3)  “And you shall trample the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 4:4)  “Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded him in Ḥorĕḇ for all Yisra’ĕl – laws and right-rulings. (Malachi 4:5)  “See, I am sending you Ěliyah 1 the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. Footnote: 1 Luke 1:17. (Malachi 4:6)  “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction 1.” Footnote: 1 Zechariah 14:11.
 
What or WHO we obey is our master. WE must understand non-believers MUST obey their master- just as we believers Must obey our coming KING Yahshua!
                                
(Romans 6:8) And if we died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him, (Romans 6:9)  knowing that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies no more – death no longer rules over Him. (Romans 6:10)  For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to Elohim. (Romans 6:11)  So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master. (Romans 6:12)  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires, (Romans 6:13)  neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim. (Romans 6:14)  For sin shall not rule over you, for you are not under the law but under favor. (Romans 6:15)  What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favor? Let it not be! (Romans 6:16)  Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? (Romans 6:17)  But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted. (Romans 6:18)  And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness. (Romans 6:19)  I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness. (Romans 6:20)  For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. (Romans 6:21)  What fruit, therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death. (Romans 6:22)  But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life. (Romans 6:23)  The wages of sin is death, but the favorable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
 
(2 Samuel 4:1)  And the son of Sha’ul heard that Aḇnĕr had died in Ḥeḇron, and he lost heart, and all Yisra’ĕl was troubled. (2 Samuel 4:2)  And the son of Sha’ul had two men, commanders of bands, and the name of one was Baʽanah and the name of the other Rĕḵaḇ, sons of Rimmon the be’ĕrothite, of the children of Binyamin. For be’ĕroth was also reckoned to Binyamin, (2 Samuel 4:3) because the Be’ĕrothites fled to Gittayim and have been sojourners there until this day. (2 Samuel 4:4)  Now Yehonathan, son of Sha’ul, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Sha’ul and Yehonathan came from Yizreʽĕl, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it came to be, as she hurried to flee, that he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephiḇosheth. (2 Samuel 4:5)  So the sons of Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite, Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah, went and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was lying on his bed at noon. (2 Samuel 4:6)  And they came into the midst of the house, to fetch wheat, and they struck him in the stomach, and Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his brother escaped. (2 Samuel 4:7)  Thus they came into the house when he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him. And they took his head, and went the way of the desert plain all night, (2 Samuel 4:8) and brought the head of Ishbosheth to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron, and said to the sovereign, “See, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Sha’ul your enemy, who sought your life. So יהוה has given my master the sovereign vengeance on Sha’ul and his seed this day.” (2 Samuel 4:9)  And Dawiḏ answered Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite, and said to them, “As יהוה lives, who has redeemed my life out of all distress, (2 Samuel 4:10) when someone reported to me, saying, ‘See, Sha’ul is dead,’ and he was a bearer of good news in his own eyes, I then took hold of him and slew him in Tsiqlaḡ, which was the reward I gave him for his news. (2 Samuel 4:11)  “How much more, when wrong men have slain a righteous man in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?” (2 Samuel 4:12)  And Dawiḏ commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and feet, and hanged them by the pool in Ḥeḇron. And they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the tomb of Aḇnĕr in Ḥeḇron.
 
David becomes Shepherd (King) of Israel
 
(2 Samuel 5:1)  And all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl came to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron and spoke, saying, “Look, we are your bone and your flesh. (2 Samuel 5:2)  “Formerly, when Sha’ul was sovereign over us, you were the one who led Yisra’ĕl out and brought them in. And יהוה said to you, ‘Shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl, and be ruler over Yisra’ĕl.’ ” (2 Samuel 5:3) and all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came to the sovereign at Ḥeḇron, and Sovereign Dawiḏ made a covenant with them at Ḥeḇron before יהוה. And they anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:4)  Dawiḏ was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. (2 Samuel 5:5)  In Ḥeḇron he reigned over Yehuḏah seven years and six months, and in Yerushalayim he reigned thirty-three years over all Yisra’ĕl and Yehuḏah. (2 Samuel 5:6)  And the sovereign and his men went to Yerushalayim against the Yeḇusites, the inhabitants of the land. And they spoke to Dawiḏ, saying, “Except you take away the blind and the lame, you are not going to come in here,” thinking, “Dawiḏ is not going to come in here.” (2 Samuel 5:7)  But Dawiḏ captured the stronghold of Tsiyon, the City of Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:8)  And Dawiḏ said on that day, “Anyone who smites the Yeḇusites, let him go by the water-shaft and take the lame and the blind, which are hated by Dawiḏ’s being.” That is why they say, “The blind and the lame do not come into the house.” (2 Samuel 5:9)  And Dawiḏ dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the City of Dawiḏ. And Dawiḏ built all around from the Millo and inward. (2 Samuel 5:10)  And Dawiḏ went on and became great, and יהוה Elohim of hosts was with him. (2 Samuel 5:11)  Now Ḥiram sovereign of Tsor sent messengers to Dawiḏ, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built a house for Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:12)  And Dawiḏ knew that יהוה had established him as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and that He had exalted His reign, because of His people Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:13)  And Dawiḏ took more concubines and wives from Yerushalayim, after he had come from Ḥeḇron, and more sons and daughters were born to Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:14)  And these were the names of those born to him in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shoḇaḇ, and Nathan, and Shelomoh, (2 Samuel 5:15) and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and Nepheḡ, and Yaphiya, (2 Samuel 5:16) and Elishama, and Elyaḏa, and Eliphelet. (2 Samuel 5:17)  And the Philistines heard that they had anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and all the Philistines went up to search for Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ heard and went down to the stronghold. (2 Samuel 5:18)  And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:19)  And Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines? Do you give them into my hand?” And יהוה said to Dawiḏ, “Go up, for I shall certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” (2 Samuel 5:20)  And Dawiḏ came to Baʽal Peratsim, and Dawiḏ smote them there. And he said, “יהוה has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he called the name of that place Baʽal Peratsim.
 
Restoring the Ark of the Covenant (The Presence of Yah) Hearing and Obeying (Faith) The Battle is Yahuah’s (Yahweh, God)
 
(2 Samuel 5:21)  And they left their images there, and Dawiḏ and his men took them away. (2 Samuel 5:22)  And the Philistines again came up and were spread out in the Valley of Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:23)  And when Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, He said, “Do not go up, turn around behind them, and you shall come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. (2 Samuel 5:24)  “And it shall be, when you hear the sound of stepping in the tops of the mulberry trees, and then act promptly, for then יהוה shall go out before you to smite the camp of the Philistines.” (2 Samuel 5:25)  And Dawiḏ did so, as יהוה commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geḇa as far as Gezer. (2 Samuel 6:1)  Now Dawiḏ again gathered all the chosen men of Yisra’ĕl, thirty thousand. (2 Samuel 6:2)  And Dawiḏ rose up and went with all the people who were with him from Baʽalĕ Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim, that is called by the Name, the Name יהוה of Hosts, who dwells between the keruḇim. (2 Samuel 6:3)  And they placed the ark of Elohim on a new wagon, and brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Aḥyo, sons of Aḇinaḏaḇ, were leading the new wagon. (2 Samuel 6:4)  And they brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill, with the ark of Elohim. And Aḥyo was walking before the ark. (2 Samuel 6:5)  And Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl were dancing before יהוה, with all instruments of fir wood, and with lyres, and with harps, and with tambourines, and with sistrums, and with cymbals. (2 Samuel 6:6)  And when they came to the threshing-floor of Naḵon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. (2 Samuel 6:7)  And the wrath of יהוה burned against Uzzah, and Elohim smote him there for the fault. And he died there by the ark of Elohim. (2 Samuel 6:8)  And Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had broken out against Uzzah. And he called the name of the place Perets Uzzah, until this day.
 
Disobedience (Touching the Ark) brings separation from His presence- where the presence of Yahuah is- there is blessing!
 
(2 Samuel 6:9)  And Dawiḏ was afraid of יהוה on that day, and said, “How shall the ark of יהוה come to me?” (2 Samuel 6:10)  And Dawiḏ would not move the ark of יהוה with him into the City of Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ turned it aside to the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite. (2 Samuel 6:11)  And the ark of יהוה remained in the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite three months, and יהוה blessed Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and his entire house. (2 Samuel 6:12)  And it was reported to Sovereign Dawiḏ, saying, “יהוה has blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and all that he has, because of the ark of Elohim.” Dawiḏ then went and brought up the ark of Elohim from the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the City of Dawiḏ with rejoicing. (2 Samuel 6:13)  And it came to be, when those bearing the ark of יהוה had gone six steps, that he slaughtered bulls and fattened sheep. (2 Samuel 6:14)  And Dawiḏ danced before יהוה with all his might. And Dawiḏ was wearing a linen shoulder garment. (2 Samuel 6:15)  Thus Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting and  with the sound of the ram’s horn. (2 Samuel 6:16)  And it came to be, when the ark of יהוה came into the City of Dawiḏ, that Miḵal, daughter of Sha’ul, looked through a window and saw Sovereign Dawiḏ leaping and dancing before יהוה, and she despised him in her heart. (2 Samuel 6:17)  So they brought the ark of יהוה in, and set it in its place in the midst of the Tent that Dawiḏ had pitched for it. And Dawiḏ brought burnt offerings before יהוה, and peace offerings. (2 Samuel 6:18)  And when Dawiḏ had finished bringing burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of יהוה of hosts. (2 Samuel 6:19)  And he apportioned to all the people, to all the crowd of Yisra’ĕl, from man even to women, to each one a loaf of bread, and a measure, and a cake of raisins. And all the people left, each one to his house. (2 Samuel 6:20)  And Dawiḏ returned to bless his household, and Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul came out to meet Dawiḏ, and said, “How esteemed was the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the female servants of his servants, as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” (2 Samuel 6:21)  So Dawiḏ said to Miḵal, “Before יהוה, who chose me instead of your father and his entire house, to appoint me ruler over the people of יהוה, over Yisra’ĕl, so I danced before יהוה. (2 Samuel 6:22)  “And I shall be even slighter than this, and shall be humble in my own eyes. But as for the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I am esteemed.” (2 Samuel 6:23)  And Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul had no children to the day of her death.
 
My prayer for you loved one is simple yet will result in profound intimacy when you act upon it with all diligence. I pray that you seek intimacy (through repentance individually and for your country) with YAHUAH (Elohim- God) through the Set Apart Spirit- the Ruach HaKodesh, that you may know Him, hear and obey Him and gain His shalom by being in His presence. Hint: Worship is a surefire way of getting into His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people- while demons and distractions FLEE! Nothing will satisfy you more than intimately knowing Him not just knowing about Him. (Isaiah 58:1)  “Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to my people their transgression and the house of Yaʽaqoḇ their sins. (Isaiah 58:2)  “Yet they seek me day by day, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Elohim. They ask of me rulings of righteousness; they delight in drawing near to Elohim. Here’s our answer for your diligence in seeking His presence loved one; (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.’
 
Here are the wonderful and tangible results of seeking the Ruach diligently- as we are commanded by Yahushua (Jesus, Yeshua): (John 20:21) Then יהושע said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” (John 20:22)  And having said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Set-apart Spirit.
 
We need His power to be witnesses—and definitely to build up our faith and keep ourselves in the LOVE OF YAHWEH!
 
(Amos 5:6)  Seek יהוה and live, lest He break out like fire upon the house of Yosĕph, and shall consume it, with no one to quench it in Bĕyth Ěl. (John 14:26)  “But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you. (Act 1:8)  “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.” (Act 10:44)  While Kĕpha was still speaking these words, the Set-apart Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. (Act 10:45)  And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Kĕpha, because the gift of the Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also, (Act 10:46) for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and extolling Elohim.  (Act 13:52)  And the taught ones were filled with joy and the Set-apart Spirit. (Jude 1:20)  But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief (faith), 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.
 
Shalom to your home Loved One,
 
Thurston
 
 

Continued explanation of the Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt 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: 1 John 4:22.
