COVENANT- To love Him is to obey Him; To hate Him is purposeful disobedience! Shabbat Shalom Loved One Torah Bible Study!

December 19, 2015

Shabbat Shalom Loved One!   

YHWH is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW (Not know about) HIM and call on Him will be delivered- HalleluYAH!  Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this week’s study! (Click here for PSALM 91 DECREE and click here for CONFESSIONS of Faith)

 

Last week loved one; we talked about who we are and why we can absolutely draw near to our coming King and TRUST HIM! Let’s quickly restate parts of those promises. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man (Yahuah made MAN- male and female) who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong (Wicked), and shall not stand in the path of sinners, and shall not sit in the seat of scoffers (Mockers), Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the Torah (Instructions) of יהוה, and he meditates (Mutters-Imagines-Thinks) in His Torah day and night. Psalm 1:3 For he shall be as a tree Planted by the rivers of water that yields its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither, and whatever he does- prospers. Psalm 1:4 The wrong (Wicked) are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind blows away. Psalm 1:5 Therefore the wrong shall not raise in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psalm 1:6 For יהוה knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wrong (Wicked) comes to naught.

No matter what our evil the enemy has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient- giving thanks in all things, our Master and King will use us mightily to produce fruit that remains- even beyond us! We must be willing and obedient- come out of Babylon and all the pagan practices that we inherited which are lies- we do not learn the ways of the heathens and say we are worshiping HIM! Here’s some instruction to help us be more aware and decide if we will follow Him or not.  His Covenant with us is based on relationship- willing obedience equals love to Him; whereas to hate Him like Esau did brings disobedience.  He considers those that willingly disobey Him- to hate Him- just like Esau—and please note the scriptures clearly say that Yahuah hated Esau—wow. Yahuah HATES disobedience because it stops the love relationship and disallows His blessings to His people.

Deuteronomy 5:7 ‘You have no other mighty ones against my face. Deuteronomy 5:8  ‘You do not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness of which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, Deuteronomy 5:9  you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim, am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, (Disobey) Deuteronomy 5:10 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands.

Malachi 1:1 The message of the word of יהוה to Yisra’ĕl by Malachi’aḵi. Malachi 1:2 “I have loved you,” said יהוה. “But you asked, ‘In what way have you loved us?’ “Was not Ěsaw Yaʽaqoḇ’s brother?” declares יהוה. “And I love Yaʽaqoḇ, Malachi 1:3 but I have hated Ěsaw, and have laid waste his mountains and his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.”

Let’s quickly look at the reward for disobedience; 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.  

As we have studied the Torah or instructions of Yahuah we have seen that all of the tribes that are the forefathers of the muslim regions today will all be totally destroyed- not one will be left. Yahuah even gives us the reason- for their shedding of innocent blood!

There is a New Covenant for the scattered tribes of Israel and Judah—we must learn to be grafted in.

Jeremiah 31:30 “But each one shall die for his own crookedness – whoever eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be blunted. Jeremiah 31:31 “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, when I shall make a new covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah ¹, Footnote: ¹ See Hebrews 8:8-12, Hebrews 10:16-17. Jeremiah 31:32 not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares יהוה. Jeremiah 31:33 “For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, declares יהוה: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.

Jeremiah 16:12  ‘And you have done more evil than your fathers, for look, each one walks according to the stubbornness of his own evil heart, without listening to Me. Jeremiah 16:13  ‘So I shall throw you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers. And there you shall serve other mighty ones day and night, where I show you no favor.’ Jeremiah 16:14 “Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when it is no longer said, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt),’ Jeremiah 16:15 but, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I shall bring them back into their land I gave to their fathers. Jeremiah 16:16 “See, I am sending for many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. Jeremiah 16:17 “For My eyes are on all their ways; they have not been hidden from my face, nor has their crookedness been hidden from my eyes. Jeremiah 16:18  “And first I shall repay double for their crookedness and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the dead bodies of their disgusting matters, and have filled My inheritance with their abominations.” Jeremiah 16:19 O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (Lies), futility, and there is no value in them.” ¹ Footnote: ¹ See Psalm 147:19, Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah 60:2-3, John 4:22, Romans 2:20, Romans 3:2, Romans 9:4. Jeremiah 16:20 Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? Jeremiah 16:21 “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (Yahuah-Yahweh)

Psalm 119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.  No one is arguing with YHWH in Heaven, the thing we must enforce His word on the earth- by speaking agreement with His promises in the earth; where hasatan is ruling the masses. We must focus our attention on Him and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. He has destroyed the works of hell and therefore we can overcome the plans of hell, the giants and overwhelming obstacles and still walk in victory.

This is what He came for TRUTH SEARCHER; to destroy the works of hell and gather the LOST SHEEP (You and I) of Israel! Obviously, to gather the Lost Sheep (Northern 10 tribes of Israel- Ephraim who was scattered all over the earth for paganism such as Easter goddess worship, winter solstice sun worship- Christmas, etc.) He would have to destroy the works of hell and the devils right to rule us and give us opportunity and power to REPENT and become the manifest sons and daughters of YHWH! Note below the seed is the WORD who was made flesh and dwelled (Tabernacled) with us- Yahshua Messiah! If you want to know about the pagan roots we must come apart from; I recommend you order “FOSSILIZED CUSTOMS” from Amazon.com as a resource.

Everyone SINNING is breaking the TORAH--LAW- or better translated- Instructions of Yahuah! His seed is within us- we must grow up spiritually loved one!

(1 John 3:4)  Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness (Torahlessness) (1 John 3:5) and you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. (1 John 3:6)  Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.¹ Footnote: ¹ See 2:4 & 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:7)  Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.¹ Footnote: ¹ See 2:29. (1 John 3:8)  The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.¹ Footnote: ¹ See Titus 2:14. (1 John 3:9)  Everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of Elohim. (1 John 3:10)  In this the children of Elohim and the children of the devil are manifest: Everyone not doing righteousness is not of Elohim,¹ neither the one not loving his brother. Footnote: ¹ See 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:11)  This is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, (1 John 3:12) not as Qayin who was of the wicked one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his works were wicked but those of his brother were righteous. (1 John 3:13)  Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.¹ Footnote: ¹ See John 15:18-19, John 17:14.

 

FEAR THEM NOT! It is guaranteed they will hate us. We must learn to love no matter how people treat us. His seed is in us- that is seed that must grow up, mature, and we become like Him. Seems we will need to take seriously what the IMMERSER said, “I must decrease and HE must increase!”  Our hope is based on our decrease- and receiving Him- the HOPE OF GLORY WITHIN US! He has given us the ability to walk in His power—that works within us according to how well we will develop and receive from Him, walking in belief- faith- and trust- in His absolute peace- SHALOM!

 

Colossians 1:3  We give thanks to the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, praying always for you, Colossians 1:4  having heard of your belief in Messiah יהושע and of your love for all the set-apart ones, Colossians 1:5  because of the expectation that is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News, Colossians 1:6  which has come to you, as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, as also among you, since the day you heard and knew the favor of Elohim in truth, Colossians 1:7  as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a true servant of Messiah on your behalf, Colossians 1:8  who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. Colossians 1:9  That is also why we, from the day we heard, have not ceased praying for you, and asking that you be filled with the knowledge of His desire in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, Colossians 1:10  to walk worthily of the Master, pleasing all, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Elohim, Colossians 1:11  being empowered with all power, according to the might of His esteem, for all endurance and patience with joy, Colossians 1:12  giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, Colossians 1:13  who has delivered us from the authority of darkness¹ and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, Footnote: ¹ Luke 11:35, John 8:12, John 12:46-50, Acts 26:18, Ephesians. 5:8. Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, Colossians 1:15 who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation.¹ Footnote: ¹ Hebrews 1:6, Revelation 3:14. Colossians 1:16  Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:17 And He is before all, and in Him all hold together. Colossians 1:18  And He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might become the One who is first in all. Colossians 1:19 Because in Him all the completeness was well pleased to dwell, Colossians 1:20 and through Him to completely restore to favor all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His stake. Colossians 1:21  And you, who once were estranged and enemies in the mind by wicked works, but now He has completely restored to favor Colossians 1:22  in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and blameless, and unprovable before Him, Colossians 1:23  if indeed you continue in the belief, (faith-trust) founded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the expectation of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed to every creature under the heaven, of which I, Sha’ul, became a servant, Colossians 1:24  who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in Messiah’s afflictions, for the sake of His Body, which is the assembly, Colossians 1:25  of which I became a servant according to the administration of Elohim which was given to me for you, to fill the word of Elohim, Colossians 1:26  the secret which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His set-apart ones, Colossians 1:27  to whom Elohim desired to make known that are the riches of the esteem of this secret among the gentiles: which is Messiah in you,¹ the expectancy of esteem, (HOPE OF GLORY) Footnote: ¹See Messiah in you in the Explanatory Notes. Colossians 1:28  whom we announce, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order to present every man perfect in Messiah יהושע, Colossians 1:29  for which I also labor, striving according to the working of Him who works in me in power.

 

We make SPIRITUAL WAR not physical-war with more guns etc.; if we determine to only walk by the flesh and not the spirit- we will surely perish. I want to make known to you I am not anti-gun nor against protecting yourselves and loved ones as best you can; however I suspect—no- I know- a mighty angel assigned to your protection is far better! Do you and I even know what sorts of weapons these evil doers ruling the planet have at their digression? Let me share- so you can determine to draw near to Him with power that overcomes these nightmares planned for us.  They have used these weapons in Iraq and other theaters (Mostly middle east countries) the UN is using us to help the elite control the world’s banks and armies. They used sound weapons which make grown men scream in pain and quickly surrender as Saddam Hussein’s hardened troops did while underground in concrete bunkers. They also have laser weapons that disintegrate men and their guns, they have concussion bombs they can drop on whole cities that suck the oxygen out of all living creatures (Right out of their lungs) but do not harm infrastructure (I.E. your homes, cars, factories, roads etc.) at all. They can just drop their desired people in your place and take over. They have DNA cloned warriors part animal and part human that can run like animals and have the strength many times greater than mankind. Yes they want to collect your guns so it will be easy to dominate and do their (U.N. elite) Agenda 21 (90% depopulation) and Agenda 2030 without fanfare- they serve their master hasatan. We will need to learn to walk in love and hear our Father as we escape and endure- all the while producing fruit that remains for His Kingdom. We must walk in His power as His BRIDE- without spot or blemish—we bless those that curse us and pray for those that do all manner of evil against us. Now you already know why it is so important to learn and memorize and SPEAK scriptures of promise like Psalm 91 and Psalm 1. Last night I was visiting with my sister Linda, and she reported that she and our cousin Becky had Psalm 91 memorized and they pray it daily over many. SO—I confessed I only knew parts of it- I must now get busy busy busy on that!

 

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:12 Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. Ephesians 6:13 Because of this, take up the complete armor of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:14 Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, Ephesians 6:15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; Ephesians 6:16 above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. Ephesians 6:17 Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, ¹ Footnote: ¹ Isaiah 59:21. Ephesians 6:18 praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones; Ephesians 6:19 also for me, that a word might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News, Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it I might speak boldly, as I should speak.

 

We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! (If we find ourselves fearful watching world events unfurl perhaps we need to spend more time in the Scriptures getting to know more intimately our loving Creator who has ALL power and laughs at the wicked men raging against Him- He holds them in derision- not us who love Him and want to obey Him- Eyes focused on Him- FEAR NOT! We WILL BECOME what we think about. - As a man (Male-female) thinketh so is he or she.

 

His shalom (Peace) will guard our hearts and minds if we focus on HIM!

 

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. Philippians 4:6 Do not worry at all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. Philippians 4:8  For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean (pure), whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these.

 

Please think on these things because once again I want to encourage you Loved One- no matter what evil the enemy has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient- giving thanks in all things, our Master and King will use us mightily to produce fruit that remains- even beyond us! Psalm 119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 

Remember with me that no one is arguing with YHWH in Heaven, the thing we (you and I) must enforce is His word by speaking agreement with His promises in the earth; where hasatan is ruling the masses. We must focus our attention on Him and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. He has destroyed the works of hell and therefore we can overcome the plans of hell, the giants and overwhelming obstacles and still walk in victory. blue Very soon there may be more “False flags” of sorts where we may see massive earthquakes, fallen demonic alien looking beings and spacecraft claiming they know Yahshua etc.;  possibly a hologram by project blue beam showing Yahshua speaking to us confirming the anti-messiah. They may create race wars with mind control and fill up FEMA camps etc. - but Yahshua promises He will give us words to speak and not one hair of our head will be lost:

(Luke 21:8)  And He said, “See that you are not led astray, for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Then do not go after them. (Luke 21:9)  “But when you hear of fighting and unrests do not be alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.” (Luke 21:10)  Then He said to them, “Nation (race-ethnos) shall rise against nation (race-ethnos), and reign against reign. (Luke 21:11)  “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:12)  “But before all this, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake. (Luke 21:13)  “And it shall turn out to you for a witness.  (Luke 21:14)  “Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. (Luke 21:15)  “I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist. (Luke 21:16)  “And you shall also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you shall be put to death. (Luke 21:17)  “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. (Luke 21:18)  “But not a hair of your head shall be lost at all. (Luke 21:19)  “Possess your lives by your endurance! (Luke 21:20)  “And when you see Yerushalayim surrounded by armies, and then know that it’s lying waste is near. (Luke 21:21)  “Then let those in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of her go out, and let not those who are in the fields enter her. (This is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war): (Zechariah 14:2) and I shall gather all the gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim ¹. And the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Footnote: ¹ Joel 3:2, Zephaniah 3:8, And Revelation 16:14. (Zechariah 14:3)  And יהוה shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of battle.

 

If we claim to be of Yahshua and heir to His promises to Abraham, then we MUST and WILL walk like Yahshua did.

(1 John 2:4)  The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:5)  But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected¹ in him. By this we know that we are in Him.² Footnotes: ¹ Genesis 17:1, Psalm 119:1, Matthew 5:48. ² See 3:24. (1 John 2:6)  The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.

 

If we are unsure what YHWH sees as sin in our lives- CONSIDER HIS DEFINITION OF SIN

(1 John 3:4)  Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness (Torahlessness) (1 John 3:5) and you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. (1 John 3:6)  Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.¹ Footnote: ¹See 2:4 & 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:7)  Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.¹ Footnote: ¹See 2:29. (1 John 3:8)  The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.¹ Footnote: ¹See Titus 2:14. (1 John 3:9)  Everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of Elohim. (1 John 3:10)  In this the children of Elohim and the children of the devil are manifest: Everyone not doing righteousness is not of Elohim, ¹ neither the one not loving his brother. Footnote: ¹See 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:11)  This is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, (1 John 3:12) not as Qayin who was of the wicked one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his works were wicked but those of his brother were righteous. (1 John 3:13)  Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.¹ Footnote: ¹ See John 15:18-19, John 17:14.

 

Here’s another thought for our consideration: (Romans 14:22) Do you have belief (Trust-faith)? Have it to yourself before Elohim. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. (Romans 14:23)  But he, who doubts, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of belief (Trust-faith), and all that is not of belief (Trust-faith) is sin. Remember rebellion (disobedience) is likened to the SIN of witchcraft.

 

We must take our thoughts captive to be in obedience to Messiah Yahshua. (2 Corinthians 10:3)  Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh. (2 Corinthians 10:4)  For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, (2 Corinthians 10:5) overthrowing reasoning’s and every high matter (idea) that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah, (2 Corinthians 10:6) and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.¹ Footnote: ¹ John 3:36.

 

This is how we are instructed to keep our faith and trust by guarding our hearts and minds in what we think and speak. (Philippians 4:4)  Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5)  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6)  Do not worry (be anxious) at all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7)  And the peace (SHALOM) of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8)  For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these. (Philippians 4:9)  And what you have learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these, and the Elohim of peace shall be with you.

 

To explain further the reality concerning our authority over the devil’s works in our lives; many years ago Yahshua told me, “I destroyed the works of hell, he has NO power of his own!” Then I asked Him, “If he has no power how then is he doing so much evil against us as believers?” Then Yahshua spoke again, “he has no power of his own but to show you the storm and the overwhelming circumstances/obstacles to your provision from me. When you agree with your words with the storm and circumstances (like Kĕpha -Peter) did when the storm came as I had commanded him to walk on the water and come to me- and he put his eyes on the great storm and off of me and sank) hasatan steals your power- you agree with hell and I stand down, leaving you with the results of the one you have agreed with!” Yahshua continued, (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.” We MUST speak Scripture and agreement with our King, or we are not following our King Yahshua Messiah!

 

REMEMBER our tongue will direct our lives; IF we remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH! He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report in today’s Torah portion! Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the land but we will believe and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH OUR KING!

 

That means you and I can draw near to Him who made Heaven and Earth and OVERCOME all the power of the enemy! (Luke 10:18)  And He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heaven as lightning. (Luke 10:19)  “See, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, (All demonic authority) and over all the power of the enemy, and none at all shall hurt you. (Luke 10:20)  “But do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names have been written in the heavens.” Hallelu-YAH! No need to fear man and the demonic hordes that do evil against us- he can only kill the body which is going back to dirt anyway- FEAR HIM (Awe and respect) who can cast to hell’s flames where the worm dies not! Luke12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Matthew_10:28 and fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Hey let’s draw near to our loving King, director, provider and protector!

 

Okay- this is what happens when we submit and obey willingly; Submitting means submitting to the WORD and we change for He changes NOT!  Look- He really wants to help us and delivers us from all the works of hell!

 

(John 14:12)  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:13)  “Whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. (John 14:14)  “If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it. (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 14:16)  “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17) the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you. (John 14:18)  “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19)  “Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20)  “In that day you shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21)  “He who possesses my commands and 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.”

 

(Isaiah 1:18)  “Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:19)  “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat the good of the land; (Isaiah 1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” the mouth of יהוה has spoken.

We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word of Life by submitting (receiving) - we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7)  So then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil¹ and he shall flee from you. Footnote: ¹ Or adversary. (James 4:8)  Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! This shows our maturity as we yield our tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He directs us more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose and FEAR NOT! Our loving Creator who has ALL power laughs at the wicked men raging against Him- He holds them in derision- FEAR NOT!

 

Hebraically speaking, IF we REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM – (believe what He says) we will DO what He says! Goodness- IF the works of hell are headed our way? SO WHAT! He really will help us and deliver us from all the works of hell! We are overcomers and willing to stop LISTEN and OBEY!

 

(John 14:12)  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:13)  “Whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. (John 14:14)  “If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it. (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 14:16)  “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17) the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you. (John 14:18)  “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19)  “Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20)  “In that day you shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21)  “He who possesses my commands and 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.”

 

 

Have we missed it? MOST LIKELY!

 

(Isaiah 1:18)  “Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:19)  “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat the good of the land; (Isaiah 1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” the mouth of יהוה has spoken.

We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word of Life by submitting (receiving) - we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7)  So then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil ¹ and he shall flee from you. Footnote: ¹Or adversary. (James 4:8)  Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! This shows our maturity as we yield our tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He directs us more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose and FEAR NOT!

 

Still got a Christmas tree? Obedience is still better than all our sacrifices- Do we want to avoid Him rejecting us? Come out from her my people OR partake in her plagues…

 

(1 Samuel 15:22)  Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and slaughterings, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an offering, to heed is better than the fat of rams. (1 Samuel 15:23)  “For rebellion is as the sin of divination (witchcraft), and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does reject you as sovereign.”

 

Let’s not our customs be worthless before YHWH!

 

(Jeremiah 10:1)  Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl. (Jeremiah 10:2)  Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles (pagan-heathen), ¹ and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.² Footnotes: ¹Lev. 18:3, Deuteronomy 12:30 & 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 & 20:32, Ephesians 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. ² Deuteronomy 4:19 & 17:3. (Jeremiah 10:3) “For the prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. (Jeremiah 10:4)  “They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.

 

Please hear with your spiritual ears:  Our tongue will direct our lives; IF we remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH! He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report in last week’s Torah portion! Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the land but we will believe and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH OUR KING!

 

We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! (Again, if we find ourselves fearful watching world events unfurl perhaps we need to spend more time in the Scriptures getting to know more intimately our loving Creator who has ALL power and laughs at the wicked men raging against Him- He holds them in derision- not us who love Him and want to obey Him- Eyes focused on Him- FEAR NOT!

                                                                   

Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures:  Korach “Korah”

Numbers 16:1-18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14-12:25; Hebrews Chapter 3; Jude 1:9-23; Revelation 12:13-17

 

 

Goodness Loved One- see what self-exaltation and pride brings- A FALL!

 

(Numbers 16:1)  And Qoraḥ, son of Yitshar, son of Qehath, son of Lĕwi, took both Dathan and Aḇiram the sons of Eliyaḇ, and On, son of Peleth, sons of Re’uḇĕn, (Numbers 16:2) and they rose up before Mosheh with some of the children of Yisra’ĕl, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, called ones of the meeting, men of name. (Numbers 16:3)  And they assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon, and said to them, “Enough of you! For the entire congregation is set-apart, all of them, and יהוה is in their midst. Why then do you lift up yourselves above the assembly of יהוה?” (Numbers 16:4)  And when Mosheh heard, he fell on his face, (Numbers 16:5) and spoke to Qoraḥ and all his company, saying, “Tomorrow morning יהוה shall make known who is His and who is set-apart, and bring him near to Him. And let Him bring near to Him the one whom He chooses. (Numbers 16:6)  “Do this: Take fire holders, Qoraḥ and all your company, (Numbers 16:7) and put fire in them and put incense in them before יהוה tomorrow. And it shall be that the one whom יהוה chooses is the set-apart one. Enough of you- sons of Lĕwi!” (Numbers 16:8)  And Mosheh said to Qoraḥ, “Hear now, you sons of Lĕwi: (Numbers 16:9)  “Is it little to you that the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl has separated you from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, to bring you near to Himself, to perform the service of the Dwelling Place of יהוה, and to stand before the congregation to serve them, (Numbers 16:10)  and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brothers, the sons of Lĕwi, with you? Yet you seek the priesthood as well? (Numbers 16:11)  “Therefore you and all your company are set against יהוה. And Aharon, what is he that you grumble against him?” (Numbers 16:12)  And Mosheh sent to call Dathan and Aḇiram the sons of Eliyaḇ, but they said, “We are not coming up! (Numbers 16:13)  “Is it little that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you would also seize total rule over us? (Numbers 16:14)  “Also, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you bore out the eyes of these men? We are not coming up!”

 

Moses makes His plea for JUSTICE before the Father of Lights! Korah makes his plea to the people!

 

(Numbers 16:15)  And Mosheh became very displeased, and said to יהוה, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them.” (Numbers 16:16)  Then Mosheh said to Qoraḥ, “Tomorrow, you and all your company shall be there before יהוה, you, them and Aharon. (Numbers 16:17)  “And take each one his fire holder, and you shall put incense in it. And let each one bring his fire holder before יהוה, two hundred and fifty fire holders, and you and Aharon, each one with his fire holder.” (Numbers 16:18)  So each one took his fire holder, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Mosheh and Aharon. (Numbers 16:19)  And Qoraḥ assembled the entire congregation against them at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Then the esteem (Glory) of יהוה appeared to the entire congregation.

 

YHWH will have the FINAL ANSWER- yes even in your plea for justice! Note YAHUAH’s Judgment-

 

(Numbers 16:20)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 16:21) “Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and let me consume them in a moment.” (Numbers 16:22)  But they fell on their faces, and said, “O Ěl, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh! When one man sins, are you wroth with the entire congregation?” (Numbers 16:23)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:24) “Speak to the congregation, saying; ‘Move away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram.’ ” (Numbers 16:25) So Mosheh rose up and went to Dathan and Aḇiram, and the elders of Yisra’ĕl followed him. (Numbers 16:26)  And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wrong men! Do not touch whatever belongs to them, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” (Numbers 16:27)  Then they moved away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram. And Dathan and Aḇiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little children. (Numbers 16:28)  And Mosheh said, “By this you know that יהוה has sent me to do all these works that they are not from my own heart. (Numbers 16:29)  “If these die as all men do, or if they are visited as all men are visited, then יהוה has not sent me. (Numbers 16:30)  “But if יהוה creates what is unheard of, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you shall know that these men have scorned יהוה.”

(Numbers 16:31)  And it came to be, as he ended speaking all these words, that the ground under them split apart, (Numbers 16:32) and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Qoraḥ, with all their goods. (Numbers 16:33)  So they and all those with them went down alive into the grave, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

 

This judgment put the FEAR of YHWH (Not the devil and his men) into everyone- We can expect the same! Remember these Scriptures are the shadow picture of good things to come! Hallelu-YAH!

 

(Numbers 16:34)  And all Yisra’ĕl who were round about them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” (Numbers 16:35)  And a fire came out from יהוה and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense. (Numbers 16:36)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:37)  “Say to Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, to pick up the fire holders out of the blaze, for they are set-apart, and scatter the fire some distance away. (Numbers 16:38)  “The fire holders of these men, who sinned against their own lives, let them be made into beaten plates as a covering for the altar. Because they brought them before יהוה, therefore they are set-apart. And let them become a sign to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 16:39)  And Elʽazar the priest took the bronze fire holders, which those who were burned up had brought, and they were beaten out as a covering on the altar – (Numbers 16:40) a remembrance to the children of Yisra’ĕl that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aharon, should come near to offer incense before יהוה, and not be like Qoraḥ and his company – as יהוה had said to him through Mosheh.

 

There will be those in our assemblies of believers in the DAYS OF JACOB’S TROUBLES that will rebel- complain and murmur and receive YHWH’s judgment also- our goal is to not be among them!  Please NOTE- the love of Moses and Aaron for the people and their interceding for them-

 

(Numbers 16:41)  But all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and against Aharon on the next day, saying, “You, you have killed the people of יהוה.” (Numbers 16:42)  And it came to be, when the congregation assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon, that they turned toward the Tent of Meeting. And see, the cloud covered it, and the esteem of יהוה appeared. (Numbers 16:43)  And Mosheh and Aharon came before the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 16:44)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:45) “Arise from amidst this congregation, and let me consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces. (Numbers 16:46)  So Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take the fire holder and put fire in it from the altar, and lay incense on, and go, hurry to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from יהוה, the plague has begun.” (Numbers 16:47)  And Aharon took it as Mosheh commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. And he laid on the incense and made atonement for the people, (Numbers 16:48) and stood between the dead and the living. And the plague was stopped. (Numbers 16:49)  And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Qoraḥ. (Numbers 16:50)  Then Aharon returned to Mosheh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped.

 

YHWH’s Instructions come from RELATIONSHIP!

 

(Numbers 17:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 17:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and take from them a rod from each father’s house, all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each one’s name on his rod, (Numbers 17:3) and write Aharon’s name on the rod of Lĕwi, for there is one rod for the head of each father’s house. (Numbers 17:4)  “You shall then place them in the Tent of Meeting before the Witness, where I meet with you. (Numbers 17:5)  “And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose buds, and I shall rid myself of the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they grumble against you.” (Numbers 17:6)  And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and all their leaders gave him a rod each, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. And the rod of Aharon was among their rods. (Numbers 17:7)  So Mosheh placed the rods before יהוה in the Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 17:8)  And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh went into the Tent of the Witness and saw that the rod of Aharon, of the house of Lĕwi, had budded, and brought forth buds, and blossomed and bore ripe almonds. (Numbers 17:9)  And Mosheh brought out all the rods from before יהוה to all the children of Yisra’ĕl. And they looked, and each man took his rod. (Numbers 17:10)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Bring Aharon’s rod back before the Witness, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, so that you put an end to their grumblings against me, lest they die.” (Numbers 17:11)  And Mosheh did as יהוה had commanded him, so he did. (Numbers 17:12)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl spoke to Mosheh, saying, “See, we shall die, we shall perish, we shall all perish! (Numbers 17:13)  “Anyone who comes near the Dwelling Place of יהוה dies. Shall we be consumed – to die?”

 

Guarding our Royal Priesthood!

 

(Numbers 18:1)  And יהוה said to Aharon, “You and your sons and your father’s house with you are to bear the crookedness against the set-apart place, and you and your sons with you are to bear the crookedness against your priesthood. (Numbers 18:2)  “But bring with you your brothers of the tribe of Lĕwi too, the tribe of your father to join you and serve you while you and your sons are with you before the Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 18:3)  “And they shall guard your charge, and the duty of the entire Tent, but they do not come near the furnishings of the set-apart place and the altar, lest they die, both they and you. (Numbers 18:4)  “And they shall be joined with you and guard the duty to the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent, but a stranger does not come near you. (Numbers 18:5)  “And you shall guard the duty of the set-apart place and the duty of the altar, so that there be no more wrath on the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 18:6)  “And see, I myself have taken your brothers the Lĕwites from the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl – a gift to you, given by יהוה, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 18:7)  “But you and your sons with you are to guard your priesthood for all matters at the altar and behind the veil, and you shall serve. I have given you the priesthood as a gift for service, but the stranger who comes near is put to death.” (Numbers 18:8)  And יהוה spoke to Aharon, “And see, I myself have also given you the charge of my contributions, all the set-apart gifts of the children of Yisra’ĕl. I have given them to you for the anointing, and to your sons, as a law forever. (Numbers 18:9)  “This is yours of the most set-apart gifts, from the fire: all their offerings, all their grain offerings and all their sin offerings and all their guilt offerings which they render to me, are most set-apart for you and your sons. (Numbers 18:10)  “Eat it in the most set-apart place – every male eats it. It is set-apart to you. (Numbers 18:11)  “This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. I have given them to you, and your sons and daughters with you, as a law forever. Everyone who is clean in your house eats it. (Numbers 18:12)  “All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine and the grain – their first-fruits which they give to יהוה – I have given them to you. (Numbers 18:13)  “The first-fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to יהוה, are yours. Everyone who is clean in your house eats it. (Numbers 18:14)  “All that is dedicated in Yisra’ĕl is yours. (Numbers 18:15)  “Everyone opening a womb of all flesh, which they bring to יהוה, whether man or beast, is yours. But the first-born of man you shall certainly ransom, and the first-born of the unclean beast you ransom. (Numbers 18:16)  “And ransom their ransomed ones when one month old, according to your valuation, five sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, which is twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 18:17)  “But the first-born of a cow, or the first-born of a sheep, or the first-born of a goat you do not ransom, they are set-apart. Sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה. (Numbers 18:18)  “And their flesh is yours, as the wave breast and as the right thigh, it is yours. (Numbers 18:19)  “All the contributions of the set-apart gifts, which the children of Yisra’ĕl present to יהוה, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as a law forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before יהוה with you and your seed with you.” (Numbers 18:20)  And יהוה said to Aharon, “You are not to have an inheritance in their land, nor have any portion in their midst. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 18:21)  “And see, I have given the children of Lĕwi all the tithes in Yisra’ĕl as an inheritance in return for the service which they are serving, the service of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 18:22)  “And let the children of Yisra’ĕl no more come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin and die, (Numbers 18:23) because the Lĕwites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, so they themselves bear their crookedness. A law forever, throughout your generations: that among the children of Yisra’ĕl they are to have no inheritance, (Numbers 18:24) but the tithes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they present as a contribution to יהוה, I have given to the Lĕwites as an inheritance. That is why I have said to them, ‘among the children of Yisra’ĕl they have no inheritance.’ ” (Numbers 18:25) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 18:26)  “Speak to the Lĕwites and say to them, ‘When you take from the children of Yisra’ĕl the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution of it to יהוה, a tenth of the tithe. (Numbers 18:27)  ‘And your contribution shall be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as filling from the winepress. (Numbers 18:28)  ‘Thus you also present a contribution unto יהוה from all your tithes which you receive from the children of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall give from it the contribution to יהוה to Aharon the priest. (Numbers 18:29)  ‘From all your gifts you present every contribution due to יהוה, from all the best of them, the set-apart part of them.’ (Numbers 18:30)  “And you shall say to them, ‘When you have presented the best of it, then the rest shall be reckoned to the Lĕwites as the yield of the threshing-floor and as the yield of the winepress. (Numbers 18:31)  ‘And you shall eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is your reward for your service in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 18:32)  and bear no sin because of it, when you have presented the best of it, and do not profane the set-apart gifts of the children of Yisra’ĕl, lest you die.’”

 

Walking righteously brings appointment and expectations (Usability) by YHWH- note his love to obey and pray for the people--

 

(1 Samuel 11:14)  And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal and renew the reign there.”   (1 Samuel 11:15) and all the people went to Gilgal, and there they set up Sha’ul to reign before יהוה in Gilgal, and there they made slaughterings of peace offerings before יהוה. And there Sha’ul rejoiced, and all the men of Yisra’ĕl, very greatly. 1 Samuel 12:1) And Shemu’ĕl said to all Yisra’ĕl, “Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have set a sovereign over you. (1 Samuel 12:2)  “And now, look, the sovereign is walking before you. And I am old and grey, and look, my sons are with you. And I have walked before you from my youth to this day. (1 Samuel 12:3)  “Look, here I am. Witness against me before יהוה and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I oppressed? Whom have I abused, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? – then I restore it to you.” (1 Samuel 12:4)  And they said, “You have not oppressed us or abused us, nor have you taken any bribe from anyone’s hand.” (1 Samuel 12:5)  So he said to them, “יהוה is witness against you, and His anointed is witness today, that you have found naught in my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness.” (1 Samuel 12:6)  And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “It is יהוה who appointed Mosheh and Aharon, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Mitsrayim. (1 Samuel 12:7)  “And now, stand still, so that I judge you before יהוה concerning all the righteous acts of יהוה which He did to you and your fathers: (1 Samuel 12:8) “When Yaʽaqoḇ had come to Mitsrayim, and your fathers cried out to יהוה, then יהוה sent Mosheh and Aharon, who brought your fathers out of Mitsrayim and made them dwell in this place. (1 Samuel 12:9)  “But they forgot יהוה their Elohim, so He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Ḥatsor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sovereign of Mo’aḇ. And they fought against them. (1 Samuel 12:10)  “And they cried out to יהוה, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken יהוה and served the Baʽals and the Ashtaroth. And now, deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we serve you.’ (1 Samuel 12:11)  “And יהוה sent Yerubbaʽal, and Beḏan, and Yiphtaḥ, and Shemu’ĕl, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt in safety. (1 Samuel 12:12)  “And when you saw that Naḥash sovereign of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but let a sovereign reign over us,’ when יהוה your Elohim was your sovereign. (1 Samuel 12:13)  “And now, here is the sovereign whom you have chosen and whom you have asked. And see, יהוה has set a sovereign over you. (1 Samuel 12:14)  “If you fear יהוה, and shall serve Him and obey His voice, and not rebel against the command of יהוה, then both you and the sovereign who reigns over you shall follow יהוה your Elohim. (1 Samuel 12:15)  “But if you do not obey the voice of יהוה, and shall rebel against the command of יהוה, then the hand of יהוה shall be against you, as it was against your fathers. (1 Samuel 12:16)  “And now, stand and see this great matter which יהוה does before your eyes: (1 Samuel 12:17) “Is today not the wheat harvest? Let me call to יהוה, so that He sends thunder and rain – know then and see that your evil is great, which you have done in the eyes of יהוה, in asking for yourselves a sovereign.” (1 Samuel 12:18)  And Shemu’ĕl called to יהוה, and יהוה sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared יהוה and Shemu’ĕl. (1 Samuel 12:19)  And all the people said to Shemu’ĕl, “Pray for your servants to יהוה your Elohim, that we do not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil of asking for ourselves a sovereign.” (1 Samuel 12:20)  And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this evil. Only, do not turn aside from following יהוה. And you shall serve יהוה with all your heart, (1 Samuel 12:21) and do not turn aside after worthless matters which do not profit or deliver, for they are worthless. (1 Samuel 12:22)  “For יהוה would not cast away His people, for His great Name’s sake, seeing it has pleased יהוה to make you His people. (1 Samuel 12:23)  “Also, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against יהוה in ceasing to pray for you, but I shall teach you the good and straight way. (1 Samuel 12:24)  “Only fear יהוה, and you shall serve Him in truth with all your heart, for consider what marvels He has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:25)  “But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your sovereign are consumed.”

 

We must keep ourselves in an obedient and humble mode- keeping no offense- so we continue to hear His Instructions

 

(Hebrews 3:1)  Therefore, set-apart brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, closely consider the Emissary and High Priest of our confession, Messiah יהושע, (Hebrews 3:2) who was trustworthy to Him who appointed Him, as also Mosheh in his entire house. (Hebrews 3:3)  For this one has been deemed worthy of more esteem than Mosheh, as much as He who built the house enjoys more respect than the house. (Hebrews 3:4)  Every house is built by someone, but He who built all is Elohim. (Hebrews 3:5)  And Mosheh indeed was trustworthy in his entire house as a servant, for a witness of what would be spoken later, (Hebrews 3:6)  but Messiah as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the boldness and the boasting of the expectation firm to the end. (Hebrews 3:7)  Therefore, as the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if you hear His voice, (Hebrews 3:8)  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9)  where your fathers tried Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. (Hebrews 3:10)  “Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’ (Hebrews 3:11)  “As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter into my rest...’ ”¹ Footnote: ¹Ps. 95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12)  Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews 3:13)  but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness of sin. (Hebrews 3:14)  For we have become partakers of Messiah if we hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end, (Hebrews 3:15) while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:16)  For whom, having heard, rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Mitsrayim, led by Mosheh? (Hebrews 3:17)  And with who was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? (Hebrews 3:18)  And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who did not obey? (Hebrews 3:19)  So we see that they were unable to enter in because of unbelief.

 

We are warned here not to murmur and complain; but to pray in the Spirit- building up our most set apart faith and trust that He may direct us to produce fruit that remains!

 

(Jude 1:9)  But Miḵa’ĕl the chief messenger (Angel), in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Mosheh, presumed not to bring against him a blasphemous accusation, but said, “יהוה rebuke you!” (Jude 1:10)  But these blaspheme that which they do not know. And that which they know naturally, like unreasoning beasts, in these they corrupt themselves. (Jude 1:11)  Woe to them! They have gone in the way of Qayin, and gave themselves to the delusion of Bilʽam for a reward, and perished in the rebellion of Qoraḥ. (Jude 1:12)  These are rocky reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you, feeding themselves without fear, waterless clouds borne about by the winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots, (Jude 1:13)  wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shame, straying stars for whom blackness of darkness is kept forever. (Jude 1:14)  And Ḥanoḵ, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, יהוה comes with His myriads of set-apart ones, (Jude 1:15) to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jude 1:16)  These are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts, and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of gain. (Jude 1:17)  But you, beloved ones, remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Jude 1:18) because they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts. (Jude 1:19)  These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. (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.

 

When hasatan inhabits the anti-messiah the last 42 months (The Great Tribulation) we (who are born again and keep His commandments) are protected in the wilderness!

 

(Revelation 12:13)  And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Revelation 12:14)  And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

 

Note the swallowing of the flood (Which are rebellious people doing evil against us) is like Korah’s rebellion!

 

(Revelation 12:15)  And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Revelation 12:16)  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river (people-flood) which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

 

Note who hasatan makes war against- not Judah or many fast asleep Christians- but those of the believers who have the testimony of Yahshua (born again spiritually) and keep His Commandments.

 

(Revelation 12:17)  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.

 

My prayer for you Loved One- is that you and ALL your loved ones guard the commands of YHWH and possess the testimony of Yahshua the Messiah. That you HEAR and OBEY Yahshua- our Chief Shepherd, and escape and endure the enemy; producing much fruit that glorifies our Father! Hallelu-YAH! Please understand the seasons we are in loved one; (Mark 13:8) “For nation (ethnos-race) shall rise against nation (ethnos-race), and reign against reign. And there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be scarcities of food, and disturbances. These are the beginnings of birth-pains. (Mark 13:9)  “But take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to councils and to congregations. You shall be beaten, and you shall be brought before rulers and sovereigns for my sake, for a witness to them. (Mark 13:10)  “And the Good News has to be proclaimed first to all the nations. (Mark 13:11)  “And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you are to say. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Set-apart Spirit. Lastly my prayer is that you recognize and understand the Seasons of Distress we are in and have wisdom from Heaven- that you and your loved ones escape and endure and STAND AT HIS APPEARING! Thanks much for your thoughtful prayer intercession for Billie and I- May YHWH bless you back 100 fold! We thank you from the core of our beings.

 

Shalom to your home Loved One,

Continued explanation of the 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 YAHUAH’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 YAHUAH’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.
