Shabbat Shalom Loved One!  
 
This study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES!  Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered!  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 is continued at end of this week’s study…

Heart to Heart Time with YHWH Truth Searcher- You know that… As in the Days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of Yahshua

Loved Ones- recently my mind and thoughts have been fixated on one thought. After listening to a great teaching by Neville Johnson, my thoughts were captivated on the Sermon on the Mount and what Yahshua came and shared with him line by line about keeping the Main thing the Main thing!
 
How would life look IF we were really getting close to the END of The Age? Darkness would cover the earth and vast or gross darkness would cover the people. Most of would consider that a very real and present process we seem to be watching- perhaps not all in slow motion anymore. Might there be organized plans by hasatan to blind us, distract us, and destroy as much of mankind as he can? 
 
Revelation 12:12 “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” Revelation 12:13And when the dragon (hasatan) saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Idiom for born again believers living on the earth) who gave birth to the male child. 
 
Yahshua lovingly warned us, John 10:4 “And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. John 10:5 “And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” John 10:6 יהושע used this figure of speech, but they did not know what He had been saying to them. John 10:7 יהושע therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:8 “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. John 10:9 “I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to slaughter (Kill), and to destroy. I have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure (Abundantly-More than enough). John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 
 
Loved One- what is your purpose in this life? What gives you or you believe will give you that sense of having lived to the fullest and attained your calling and destiny? The purpose for which your Creator gave you BREATH and LIFE? Do you want to realize your destiny as a brother, wife, sister, mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother, career, wealthy, famous, average person, friend of others, politician, boss, industry leader, WHAT? Time to think on these matters…
 
Notes- keeping the main thing the main thing- we can expect hasatan to distract- electronic games- seekers of pleasure- what do we live for? WHO or WHAT are we living for – what is it that we do that we would declare at the end of our lives---I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE WELL- I am pleased with my life’s accomplishments? This determination to become conformed to His image as a life purpose will become more and more transparent and must be our determined reality as we move closer to His second coming! We’ll try and break down Yahshua’s detailed plan in the SERMON ON THE MOUNT that He gave Neville Johnson recently when he experienced a visitation from Yahshua- KEEPING THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING! We must become focused and determined to be as Yahshua and walk as He walked. Conformed to His image means fiery trials and us dying to ourselves and allowing Him to grow in us- the hope of GLORY- which is His presence in us! The traps are set pleasure seems to be hasatan’s distraction- we have no time for any other goal so to speak. Hard times- even oppression will come.
 
2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days’ hard times shall come2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, 2 Timothy 3:3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, 2 Timothy 3:4betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim, 2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of reverence 1 (Comment: who has a “form” of reverence? Certainly not the drunks, sorcerer’s, and whores- these with apparent play church reverence are religious folk- hence the great trap that will take many to hell- they have NO POWER because they deny that- they have head knowledge but not sold out HEART KNOWLEDGE- and they will not receive His power to be witnesses---so they can produce little, if any; FRUIT THAT REMAINS) but denying its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: See v. 13, Isaiah 24:5-6, Matthew 24:12, Romans 1:30-31, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-11. 2 Timothy 3:6 For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 2 Timothy 3:7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Loved One the reason they fail- is they have rejected the power of His Spirit. Here is the promise of the POWER TO BE A WITNESS: 
 
Act 1:7 And He (Yahshua) said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts 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.”
 
Above is the PROMISE- and Below is the PROMISE IN ACTION
 
Act 2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Weeks had come, they were all with one mind in one place. Act 2:2And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Act 2:3 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak. Act 2:5 Now in Yerushalayim there were dwelling Yehuḏim, dedicated men from every nation under the heaven. Act 2:6 And when this sound came to be, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? Act 2:8 “And how do we hear, each one in our own language in which we were born? Act 2:9 “Parthians and Medes and Ěylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Yehuḏah and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia, Act 2:10 both Phrygia and Pamphulia, Mitsrayim and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehuḏim and converts, Act 2:11 “Cretans and Araḇs, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great deeds of Elohim.” Act 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were puzzled, saying to each other, “What does this mean?” Act 2:13And others mocking said, “They have been filled with sweet wine.” Act 2:14 But Kĕpha, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “Men of Yehuḏah and all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, let this be known to you, and listen closely to my words. Act 2:15 “For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, since it is only the third hour of the day. Act 2:16 “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ĕl (Joel): Act 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams, Act 2:18 and also on My male servants and on My female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. Act 2:19 ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. Act 2:20 ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of יהוהAct 2:21 And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ 1 Footnote: Joel 2:28-32, Romans 10:13.
 
 
Matthew 5:2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying, Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit (Humble), because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, because they shall be comfortedMatthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek (Obedient- not prideful but willing to sacrifice all), because they shall inherit the earth.1 Footnote: Psalms 37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34. Matthew 5:6“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,1 because they shall be filled. Footnote: Isaiah 55:1-2, Matthew 4:4, John 6:48-51. Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the compassionate, (Comment: If you are merciful to others- you will qualify for more mercy from Yahweh) because they shall obtain compassion.Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the clean (Pure) in heart,1 because they shall see Elohim. Footnote: Psalms 24:3-4.Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, (Do you and I make PEACE among people? That qualifies us to be called sons) because they shall be called sons of Elohim. Matthew 5:10 Blessed are those persecuted (If we are persecuted for righteousness- that qualifies us to rule and reign with Yahshua as a King and Priest) for righteousness’ 1 sake, because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 11Peter 3:14. Matthew 5:11 “Blessed are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake. Matthew 5:12 “Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the heavens is great. For in this way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountainMatthew 5:15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house. Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens.
 
 
As thick darkness covers the people due to satanic wickedness- our Deliverer will have us shine brighter and brighter as we walk in His power! (Isaiah 60:1) Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory/anointing) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoplesBut יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:3) “And the gentiles shall come to your light 1 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: Isaiah 60:19, 20, Revelation 21:23, 24. (Isaiah 60:4) “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. (Isaiah 60:5) “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isaiah 60:6 “A stream of camels covers your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה(Isaiah 60:7) “All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed House.

What are we THINKING AND SAYING? Dr. Emoto experiments
 
 
 
 
 
The governments of the Earth and the elite rulers who control the money strings of these governments are preparing a GLOBAL RESET FINANCIALLY and possibly some other impending or planned event/s. We fear not but I suspect it is wisdom to prepare for possible shutdowns- at least temporarily with water and food for a period you must decide. This In MY Opinion will be what Yahweh uses for the Great Wealth Transfer to finance the Kingdom growth explosion here at the end of this age! My EXPECTATION is that the downtime and collapse EFFECTS OR SHUT DOWN of the current monetary system will not last longer than days or weeks…or possibly months, but again- YOU must pray and decide for yourself and your loved ones. Sensibly, it should be a smooth transition, but in the process of killing the current monetary fiat system, there will likely be some collateral, as everything- including stock markets must become the true asset values and debts by the fiat system of the government will likely go away. Meaning the bond holders could take it on the chin- so to speak. We should be sober and alert and about our Father’s business- but this DOES NOT MEAN we are to remain ignorant of hasatan’s plans and schemes against us. Remember with me that our enemy is the master of lies and disinformation, (Fear and ignorance are not our friends. If fear comes upon us, then we need to spend some time praying, fasting, worshiping and reading the Word of Life (Torah and the Renewed Covenant) as He does not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power (over all the plans of the dragon and his so called or self-described elite workers); and a spirit of love and a sound mind! He promises to teach us of things to come and guide us into all truth! Hallelu-Yah!
 
There are too many signs to ignore these possibilities and too many reliable witnesses to dismiss without some valid research and prayer on our part. Consider the Book of Enoch which was removed from “approved” Scripture by men who were neither spirit filled nor Torah keepers- yet Enoch was validated by several authors of the Bible. Enoch 65:1-7
 
1, 2 and in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction was nigh. And he arose from thence and went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to his grandfather Enoch: and Noah said three times with an embittered voice: Hear me, hear me, and hear me. And I said unto him: Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the earth is in such evil plight 4 and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it? And thereupon there was a great commotion, on the earth, and a voice was heard from heaven, and I fell on my face. And Enoch my grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: Why hast thou cried unto me with a bitter cry and weeping And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the satans, and all their powers −the most secret ones− and all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth:
 
Here’s the whole chapter in the restored names version: Enoch's predictions concerning the Deluge (Flood) and himself     

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH- SO WILL IT BE AT THE COMING OF OUR MESSIAH
 
65:1 In those days, Noah saw the earth, that she had become deformed (Other versions say turned upside down as literal), and that her destruction was at hand. 65:2 And Noah took off from there and went unto the extreme ends of the earth. And he cried out to his grandfather, Enoch, and said to him, three times, with a bitter voice, “Hear me! Hear me! Hear me!” 65:3 And I said unto him, “Tell me what this thing is which is being done upon the earth, for the earth is struggling in this manner and is being shaken; perhaps I will perish with her in the impact.” 65:4 At that moment, there took place a tremendous turbulence upon the earth; and a voice from heaven was heard, and I fell upon my face. 65:5 Then Enoch, my grandfather, came and stood by me, saying to me, “Why did you cry out so sorrowfully and with bitter tears?” 65:6 “An order has been issued from the court of YAHWEH against those who dwell upon the earth, that their doom has arrived because they have acquired the knowledge of all the secrets of the angels, all the oppressive deeds of the Satan’s, as well as all their most occult powers, all the powers of those who practice sorcery, all the powers of those who mix many colors, all the powers of those who make molten images;” 65:7 “how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how bronze is made upon the earth -” 65:8 “for lead and tin are produced from the earth like silver -their source is a fountain inside which stands a malak, and he is a running malak (angel).” 65:9 after that, my grandfather, Enoch, took hold of me by my hand and raised me up and said to me, “Go, for I have asked YAHWEH of Hosts regarding this turbulence which is taking place on the earth.” 65:10 He continued to say to me, “Because their oppression has been carried out on the earth, their judgment will be limitless before me. On account of the abstract things which they have investigated and experienced, the earth shall perish together with those who dwell upon her.” 65:11 “And those who taught them these things will have no haven forever, because they have revealed to them the things which are secret -to the condemned ones; but, as for you, my son, YAHWEH of Hosts knows that you are pure and kindhearted; you detest the secret things.” 65:12 “He has preserved your name for the Kodesh ones; he will protect you from those who dwell upon the earth; he has preserved your righteous seed for kingship and great splendor; and from your seed will emerge a fountain of the righteous and Kodesh ones without number forever.”
 
Power of our Words…  We are indeed electrical beings created by spoken words (frequencies)!

What are you and I saying? We are creating or framing our worlds---perhaps we should speak HIS (Yahshua’s) words over our lives.
 
 
Albert Einstein said everything is energy. Remember his formula E=mc squared? He believed that energy and matter were interchangeable. Everything is vibrating energy, including our bodies. Every word and every thought carries a certain vibrational frequency. A Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, proved this when he did an experiment with water. He found out that water is affected by words. He took water droplets and exposed them to various words. He froze them for three hours and then examined the crystal formations under a microscope. The results were totally astounding. When positive words were spoken over the water, it formed beautiful patterns. Negative words produced ugly patterns. Since our bodies are approximately 72% water, we know that our bodies are greatly affected by negative speech. He did another experiment with rice where he spoke "I love you" to a jar of rice for 30 days. To another jar of rice, he spoke the words "You fool." After 30 days, the rice in the "I love you" jar was white and the rice in the "You fool" jar was black and rotten. (Facts are taken from Dr. Emoto's book "The Hidden Messages in Water". Science is validating the Bible. I should say, science is discovering the Bible is and was correct all along.
 
Proverbs 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death... Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Love Has the Highest Frequency of all. It can be scientifically documented that everything has either positive or negative frequencies. Foods even have frequencies. Fresh food has a higher frequency than processed foods. On the other hand, coffee has a negative frequency. Prayer actually raises a person's frequency by 15 MHz. If our frequency gets low, we get sick. A healthy body has a frequency between 62-68 MHz. If a person's frequency dips to 58 MHz. cold symptoms develop. Flu symptoms appear at 57 MHz. Cancer may enter the body when the frequency falls below 42 MHz. The process of dying begins at 25 MHz. and goes to zero at death. (Facts are taken from Dr. David Stewart's book "Healing Oils of the Bible".) YHWH provided a way to raise our frequencies by using essential oils. These oils were used Biblically for medicinal purposes. The oils were not used symbolically as we have come to believe, but these oils had healing properties. For example, hyssop is a releaser of swallowed emotions and a spiritual cleanser.
 
Psalm 51:7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Prayer and essential oils together are a powerful combination, as both raise our frequencies. James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the Body of Messiah to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the YHWH. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the YHWH will raise them up...
 
In the Torah (Leviticus 14), they were told to anoint those with infectious skin diseases with oil on their right ear, their right thumb, and right big toe. All of these are reflex points where trauma is stored and are connected to the brain! When we store repressed emotions, it can make us sick. Our bodies are made up of 100 trillion cells. So, emotions get locked in our cellular memory. Physical healing can occur when we clear repressed emotions. For example, if emotions are stored in your stomach, you have stomach ailments. If they are stored in the joints, you can have arthritis. Proverbs 14:30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Change will occur when we get healing for our souls and walk in mature love and put childish ways behind us. We must speak words of life and not death. Love has the highest frequency of all. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
 
We are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men. 
 
(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 and every high matter 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: John 3:36Putting on His armor(Ephesians 6:10) For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. (Ephesians 6:11) Put on the complete armor of Elohimfor you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil(Ephesians 6:12) 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 6:15and 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 (faith-trust) 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: 1Isaiah. 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. (Ephesians 6:21) Now, in order that you also might know about me, how I am doing, Tuchikos, a beloved brother and trustworthy servant in the Master, shall make all matters known to you, (Ephesians 6:22) whom I did send to you for this same purpose, so that you know about us, and might encourage your hearts. (Ephesians 6:23) Peace to the brothers, and love, with belief, (faith-trust) from Elohim the Father and the Master יהושעMessiah.
 
 
Yahshua is warning His Loved Ones (You and me) to be sober and alert and about our Fathers Business
 
(Luke 21:33) “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away(Luke 21:34) “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come on you suddenly(Luke 21:35) “For it shall come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth(Luke 21:36) “Watch then at all times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.”
 
Yahshua warns us not to be as these; (Matthew 15:7) “Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (Matthew 15:9) ‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’” 1 Footnote: 1Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
 
 
Here is a great Scripture to personalize and repeat continually if you want to walk in His power! (Galatians 2:20) “I have been impaled (Crucified) with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me.1 And that which I now live in the flesh I live by belief (trust/faith) in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Footnote: Romans 8:10, 2 Corinthians 6:16, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Ephesians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 1:27, 1 John 4:4.
 
We do not love our lives more than our King- so we shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb of YHWH and   we speak that agree with of His(Our testimony)
 
(Jeremiah 16:19) O יהוה(Yahweh) 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: 1See Ps. 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!” (YHWH- Yahweh)
 
KJV: (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the Day of Affliction(Day of the Lord) the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit(Jeremiah 16:20) Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? (Jeremiah 16:21) Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (YHWH)
 
Here is what Yahshua warned us concerning these days upon us truth searcher; KJV (Matthew 24:21) then shall be great tribulation; such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be(Matthew 24:22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Scriptures 
 
(Matthew 24:21) For then there shall be great distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1 Or great pressure, or great affliction(Matthew 24:22) And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. Here is the shadow picture we can also expect(Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.
 
 
Understanding our submission of our WORDS AND ACTIONS agreeing with His- form our witness making us usable witnesses to overcome by His shed blood; therefore worthy and allowed to continue our witness- that we produce fruit that remains even in Great Tribulation-
 
So let’s now turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
 
 
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Ki TIsaiah- “When you number/elevate”

Ark of the Covenant and warning about anointing oil Exodus 30:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Exodus 30:12 “When you take the census of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to register them, then each one shall give an atonement for his life to יהוה, when you register them, so that there is no plague among them when you register them. Exodus 30:13 “Everyone among those who are registered is to give this: half a sheqel according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, twenty gĕrahs being a sheqel. The half-sheqel is the contribution to יהוהExodus 30:14 “Everyone passing over to be registered, from twenty years old and above, gives a contribution to יהוהExodus 30:15 “The rich does not give more and the poor does not give less than half a sheqel, when you give a contribution to יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves. Exodus 30:16 “And you shall take the silver for the atonement from the children of Yisra’ĕl, and give it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl for a remembrance before יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.” Exodus 30:17 And יהוהspoke to Mosheh, saying, Exodus 30:18 “And you shall make a basin of bronze, with its stand also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it. Exodus 30:19“And Aharon and his sons shall wash from it their hands and their feet. Exodus 30:20 “When they go into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near the altar to attend, to burn an offering made by fire to יהוה, they wash with water, lest they die. Exodus 30:21 “And they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a law forever to them, to him and his seed throughout their generations.” Exodus 30:22 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Exodus 30:23 “And take for yourself choice spices, five hundred sheqels of liquid myrrh, and half as much – two hundred and fifty – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty of sweet-smelling cane, Exodus 30:24 and five hundred of cassia, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, and a hin of olive oil. Exodus 30:25 “And you shall make from these a set-apart anointing oil, a compound, blended, the work of a perfumer. It is a set-apart anointing oil. Exodus 30:26 “And with it you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting and the ark of the Witness, Exodus 30:27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, Exodus 30:28 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. Exodus 30:29 “And you shall set them apart, and they shall be most set-apart. Whatever touches them is to be set-apart. Exodus 30:30 “And you shall anoint Aharon and his sons, and set them apart, to serve as priests to Me. Exodus 30:31 “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘This is a set-apart anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. Exodus 30:32 ‘It shall not be poured on the flesh of a man, and make no other like it, according to its composition. It is set-apart; it is set-apart to you. Exodus 30:33 ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, shall be cut off from his people.’” Exodus 30:34 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take sweet spices, fragrant gum and cinnamon and galbanam, and clear frankincense with these sweet spices, all in equal amounts. Exodus 30:35 “Then you shall make of these an incense, a compound, work of a perfumer, salted, clean, set-apart. Exodus 30:36 “And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Witness in the Tent of Meeting where I meet with you, it is most set-apart to you. Exodus 30:37 “And the incense which you make, do not make any for yourselves, according to its composition, it is set-apart to you for יהוה.Exodus 30:38 “Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.” 
 
 
Filled with the Ruach HaKodesh to do the work of YHWH- a necessity! The Shabbat- A SIGN forever of covenant with YHWH!
 
(Exodus 31:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 31:2)  “See, I have called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah, (Exodus 31:3) and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work(Exodus 31:4) to make designs for work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, (Exodus 31:5) and in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all work. (Exodus 31:6) “And I, look I have appointed with him Oholiaḇ son of AḥIsaiahmaḵ, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of everyone who is wise-hearted, and they shall make all that I have commanded you: (Exodus 31:7) the Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the Witness and the lid of atonement that is on it, and all the utensils of the Tent, (Exodus 31:8) and the table and its utensils, and the clean gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, (Exodus 31:9) and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, (Exodus 31:10) and the woven garments, and the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons, for serving as priests, (Exodus 31:11) and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Set-apart Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they are to do.” (Exodus 31:12) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 31:13) “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign1 between me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה, am setting you apartFootnote: The only sign of יהוה setting us apart, the only sign of the everlasting covenant, is His Sabbaths, one of them being the seventh day Sabbath. This is repeated in Ezekiel 20:12 & 20. (Exodus 31:14) ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people. (Exodus 31:15) ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יהוה. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. (Exodus 31:16) ‘The children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath; to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. (Exodus 31:17) ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. In six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’  (Exodus 31:18) And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim. (Exodus 32:1) And when the people saw that Mosheh was so long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aharon, and said to him, “Arise, make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh, the man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.” (Exodus 32:2) And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” (Exodus 32:3) “And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon. (Exodus 32:4) And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty one, O Yisra’ĕl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!” (Exodus 32:5) And Aharon saw and built an altar before it. And Aharon called out and said, “Tomorrow is a festival to יהוה.” (Exodus 32:6) And they rose early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (Exodus 32:7) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go, get down! Your people whom you brought out of the land of Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves. (Exodus 32:8) “They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have bowed themselves to it and slaughtered to it, and said, ‘This is your mighty one, O Yisra’ĕl, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!’ (Exodus 32:9) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I have seen this people, and see, it is a stiff-necked people! (Exodus 32:10) “And now, let me alone, that my wrath might burn against them and I consume them and I make of you a great nation.” (Exodus 32:11) But Mosheh pleaded with יהוה his Elohim, and said, “יהוה, why does your wrath burn against your people whom you have brought out of the land of Mitsrayim with great power and with a strong hand? (Exodus 32:12) “Why should the Mitsrites speak, and say, ‘For evil He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from the heat of your wrath, and relent from this evil to your people. (Exodus 32:13) “Remember Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, your servants, to whom you swore by yourself, and said to them, ‘I increase your seed like the stars of the heavens. And all this land that I have spoken of I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’” (Exodus 32:14) And יהוה relented from the evil which He said He would do to His people. (Exodus 32:15) And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in his hand were the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both their sides, written on the one and on the other. (Exodus 32:16)  And the tablets were the work of Elohim, and the writing was the writing of Elohim engraved on the tablets.(Exodus 32:17)  And Yehoshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted and he said to Mosheh, “A noise of battle in the camp!”(Exodus 32:18)  But he said, “It is not the sound of those who shout of might, nor is it the sound of those who cry out in weakness, but the sound of singing that I hear.” (Exodus 32:19) And it came to be, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. And Mosheh’s displeasure burned, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. (Exodus 32:20) And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it into powder, and scattered it on the face of the water and made the children of Yisra’ĕl drink it. (Exodus 32:21) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?” (Exodus 32:22) And Aharon said, “Do not let the displeasure of my master burn. You know the people that it is in evil. (Exodus 32:23) “And they said to me, ‘Make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh, the man who brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.’ (Exodus 32:24) “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let them take it off.’ And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.” (Exodus 32:25) And Mosheh saw that the people were let loose, for Aharon had let them loose, to their shame among their enemies. (Exodus 32:26) And Mosheh stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Who is forיהוהCome to me.” And all the sons of Lĕwi gathered themselves to him. (Exodus 32:27) And he said to them, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl: ‘Each one put his sword on his side, pass over to and fro from gate to gate in the camp, and each one slay his brother, and each one his friend, and each one his relative.’” (Exodus 32:28) and the sons of Lĕwi did according to the word of Mosheh. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. (Exodus 32:29) And Mosheh said, “You are ordained for יהוה today – since each one has been against his son and his brother – so as to bring upon you a blessing today.” (Exodus 32:30) And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh said to the people, “You, you have sinned a great sin. And now I am going up to יהוה – if I might atone for your sin.” (Exodus 32:31) And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “Oh, these people have sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves a mighty one of gold! (Exodus 32:32) “And now, if you would forgive their sin, but if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.” (Exodus 32:33) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Whoever has sinned against me, I blot him out of my book. (Exodus 32:34) “And now, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, My Messenger goes before you. And in the day of my visitation I shall visit their sin upon them.” (Exodus 32:35) And יהוה plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aharon made.
 
Might we also be stiff neck people who must turn and obeyHOW? By revelation from the Father of His glory- His mercy and goodness revealed- as that alone allows us to trust Him!
 
(Exodus 33:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Come, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Mitsrayim, to the land of which I swore to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, saying, ‘To your seed I give it.’ (Exodus 33:2) “And I shall send My Messenger before you, and I shall drive out the Kenaʽanite and the Amorite and the Ḥittite and the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite, (Exodus 33:3) to a land flowing with milk and honey. For I do not go up in your midst because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.” (Exodus 33:4) And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments. (Exodus 33:5) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. Should I go up in your midst for one moment I shall consume you. And now, take off your ornaments, and I shall know what to do to you.’” (Exodus 33:6) so the children of Yisra’ĕl took off their ornaments at Mount Ḥorĕḇ. (Exodus 33:7) And Mosheh took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of Meeting. And it came to be that everyone who sought יהוה went out to the Tent of Meeting which was outside the camp. (Exodus 33:8) And it came to be, whenever Mosheh went out to the Tent, that all the people raised, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Mosheh until he entered the Tent. (Exodus 33:9) And it came to be, when Mosheh entered the Tent, that the column of cloud descended and stood at the door of the Tent, and He spoke with Mosheh. (Exodus 33:10) And all the people saw the column of cloud standing at the Tent door, and all the people rose and bowed themselves, each one at the door of his tent. (Exodus 33:11) Thus יהוה spoke to Mosheh face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Yehoshua son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the Tent. (Exodus 33:12) And Mosheh said to יהוה, “See, you are saying to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But you have not made known to me whom you would send with me, though you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my eyes.’ (Exodus 33:13) “And now, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, please show me your way, and let me know you, so that I find favor in your eyes. And consider that this nation is your people.” (Exodus 33:14) And He said, “My Presence does go, and I shall give you rest.” (Exodus 33:15) And he said to Him, “If Your Presence is not going; do not lead us up from here. (Exodus 33:16) “For how then shall it be known that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people, except you go with us? Then we shall be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” (Exodus 33:17) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have found favor in my eyes, and I know you by name.” (Exodus 33:18) Then he said, “Please, show me your esteem (glory)” (Exodus 33:19) And He said, “I shall cause all my goodness to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of יהוה before you. And I shall favor him whom I favor, and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.” (Exodus 33:20) But He said, “You are unable to see my face, for no man does see me and live.” (Exodus 33:21) And יהוה said, “See, there is a place with me! And you shall stand on the rock. (Exodus 33:22) “And it shall be, while my esteem (glory) passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand while I pass by. (Exodus 33:23) “Then I shall take away my hand and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
 
YHWH Revealing His nature and the Glory of YHWH was transferrable to Moses as his face shone-
 
(Exodus 34:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I shall write on these tablets the Words that were on the first tablets which you broke. (Exodus 34:2) “And be ready in the morning. Then you shall come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain. (Exodus 34:3) “And let no man come up with you, and let no man be seen in the entire mountain, and let not even the flock or the herd feed in front of that mountain.” (Exodus 34:4) And he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Mosheh rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as יהוה had commanded him, and he took two tablets of stone in his hand. (Exodus 34:5) And יהוה came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name, יהוה(Exodus 34:6) And יהוה passed before him and proclaimed, “יהוהיהוהan Ěl compassionate and showing favor, patient, and great in kindness and truth(Exodus 34:7) watching over kindness for thousands, forgiving crookedness and transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished 1, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Footnote: This is confirmed in Numbers 14:18, and in Jeremiah 30:11. (Exodus 34:8) And Mosheh hurried and bowed himself toward the earth, and did obeisance(Exodus 34:9) and said, “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O יהוה, I pray, let יהוה go on in our midst, even though we are a stiff-necked people. And forgive our crookedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.” (Exodus 34:10) And He said, “See, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of יהוה. For what I am doing with you is awesome. (Exodus 34:11) “Guard what I command you today. See, I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Kenaʽanite and the Ḥittite and the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite. (Exodus 34:12) “Guard yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. (Exodus 34:13)  “But break down their altars, and smash their pillars, and cut down their Ashĕrim  (Easters)– (Exodus 34:14) for you do not bow yourselves to another mighty one, for יהוה, whose Name is jealous, is a jealous Ěl – (Exodus 34:15) lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they whore after their mighty ones, and slaughter to their mighty ones, and one of them invites you and you eat of his slaughtering, (Exodus 34:16) and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters whore after their mighty ones, and make your sons whore after their mighty ones. (Exodus 34:17) “Do not make a molded mighty one for yourselves. (Exodus 34:18) “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Aḇiḇ, because in the month of Aḇiḇ you came out from Mitsrayim. (Exodus 34:19) “Everyone opening the womb is mine, and every male first-born among your livestock, whether bull or sheep. (Exodus 34:20) “But the first-born of a donkey you ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom, then you shall break his neck. Every first-born of your sons you shall ransom. And they shall not appear before me empty-handed. (Exodus 34:21) “Six days you work, but on the seventh day you rest – in plowing time and in harvest you rest(Exodus 34:22) “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. (Exodus 34:23) “Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, (Exodus 34:24) for I dispossess nations before you, and shall enlarge your borders, and let no one covet your land when you go up to appear before יהוה your Elohim three times in the year. (Exodus 34:25) “Do not offer the blood of my slaughtering with leaven, and do not let the slaughtering of the Festival of the Passover remain until morning. (Exodus 34:26) “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land to the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” (Exodus 34:27) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write these Words, for according to the mouth of these Words I have made a covenant with you and with Yisra’ĕl.” (Exodus 34:28) And he was there with יהוה forty days and forty nights. He did not eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the Words of the covenant, the Ten Words. (Exodus 34:29) And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone since he had spoken with Him. (Exodus 34:30) And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. (Exodus 34:31) But Mosheh called out to them, and Aharon and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and Mosheh spoke to them. (Exodus 34:32) And afterward all the children of Yisra’ĕl came near, and he commanded them all that יהוה had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. (Exodus 34:33) And when Mosheh ended speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. (Exodus 34:34) But whenever Mosheh went in before יהוה to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out he spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl what he had been commanded, (Exodus 34:35) and the children of Yisra’ĕl would see the face of Mosheh, that the skin of Mosheh’s face shone, and Mosheh would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.
 
Proof – who is the Great and Mighty Living Elohim?
 
(1 Kings 18:1) And after many days it came to be that the word of יהוה came to Ěliyahu, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Aḥaḇ, and I give rain on the earth.” (1 Kings 18:2) Thereupon Ěliyahu went to present himself to Aḥaḇ. And the scarcity of food in Shomeron was severe. (1 Kings 18:3) And Aḥaḇ had called Oḇaḏyahu, who was over his house. Now Oḇaḏyahu feared יהוה exceedingly. (1 Kings 18:4) And it came to be, while Izeḇel cut down the prophets of יהוה, that Oḇaḏyahu had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water. (1 Kings 18:5) And Aḥaḇ had said to Oḇaḏyahu, “Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the wadis, it could be that we find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, and not have any livestock cut off. (1 Kings 18:6) And they divided the land between them to pass over it, Aḥaḇ went one way by himself, and Oḇaḏyahu went another way by himself. (1 Kings 18:7) And as Oḇaḏyahu was on his way, then see, Ěliyahu met him. And he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is that you, my master Ěliyahu?” (1 Kings 18:8) And he answered him, “It is I. Go; say to your master, ‘Ěliyahu is here.’” (1 Kings 18:9) and he said, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Aḥaḇ, to kill me? (1 Kings 18:10) “As יהוה your Elohim lives, there is no nation or reign where my master has not sent to look for you. And when they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the reign or nation swear that they could not find you. (1 Kings 18:11) “And now you say, ‘Go; say to your master, “Ěliyahu is here”’! (1 Kings 18:12) “And it shall be, as soon as I am gone from you that the Spirit of יהוה takes you away to a place I do not know. And I shall come to report to Aḥaḇ, and when he does not find you, he shall kill me. But I your servant have feared יהוה from my youth. (1 Kings 18:13) “Was it not reported to my master what I did when Izeḇel slew the prophets of יהוה, how I hid one hundred men of the prophets of יהוה, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water? (1 Kings 18:14) “And now you say, ‘Go; say to your master, “Ěliyahu is here!”’ Then he shall slay me.” (1 Kings 18:15) And Ěliyahu said, “As יהוה of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I shall indeed show myself to him today.” (1 Kings 18:16) Oḇaḏyahu then went to meet Aḥaḇ and informed him, and Aḥaḇ went to meet Ěliyahu. (1 Kings 18:17) And it came to be, when Aḥaḇ saw Ěliyahu, that Aḥaḇ said to him, “Is that you, O disturber of Yisra’ĕl?” (1 Kings 18:18) And he answered, “I have not disturbed Yisra’ĕl, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commands of יהוה, and you have followed the Baʽals. (1 Kings 18:19) “And now, send and gather all Yisra’ĕl to me on Mount Karmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baʽal, and the four hundred prophets of Ashĕrah (Easter), who eat at Izeḇel’s table.” (1 Kings 18:20) Aḥaḇ then sent for all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and gathered the prophets on Mount Karmel. (1 Kings 18:21) And Ěliyahu came to all the people, and said, “How long would you keep hopping between two opinions? If יהוה is Elohim, follow Him; and if Baʽal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:22) And Ěliyahu said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of יהוה, but the prophets of Baʽal are four hundred and fifty men. (1 Kings 18:23) “Now let them give us two bulls. And let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but set no fire. And I, I prepare the other bull, and shall lay it on the wood, but set no fire. (1 Kings 18:24) “And you shall call on the name of your mighty one, and I, I call on the Name of יהוה. And the Elohim who answers by fire, He is Elohim.” So all the people answered and said, “The word is good.” (1 Kings 18:25) And Ěliyahu said to the prophets of Baʽal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many. And call on the name of your mighty one, but set no fire.” (1 Kings 18:26) So they took the bull which was given them, and prepared it, and called on the name of Baʽal from morning even until noon, saying, “O Baʽal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they had made. (1 Kings 18:27) And it came to be at noon, that Ěliyahu taunted them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a mighty one; he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or it could be that he is asleep and has to be awakened!” (1 Kings 18:28) And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, according to their ruling, with knives and spears, until the blood gushed out on them. (1 Kings 18:29) And it came to be when midday was past that they prophesied until the time of bringing the evening offering. But there was no voice and no one answered, and no one paying attention. (1 Kings 18:30) Then Ěliyahu said to all the people, “Come closer to me.” And all the people came closer to him. And he repaired the altar ofיהוה that was broken down. (1 Kings 18:31) And Ěliyahu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, to whom the word of יהוה had come, saying, “Yisra’ĕl is your name.” (1 Kings 18:32) And with the stones he built an altar in the Name of יהוה. And he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed. (1 Kings 18:33) And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” (1 Kings 18:34) Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time. (1 Kings 18:35) And the water flowed around the altar, and he filled the trench with water too. (1 Kings 18:36) And it came to be, at the time of bringing the evening offering, that Ěliyahu the prophet came near and said, “יהוה Elohim of Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, let it be known today: You are Elohim in Yisra’ĕl, and I Your servant, have done all these matters by Your word. (1 Kings 18:37) “Answer me, O יהוה, answer me, and let this people know that you are יהוה Elohim, and You shall turn their hearts back to You again.” (1 Kings 18:38) Then the fire of יהוה fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. (1 Kings 18:39) And all the people saw, and fell on their faces, and said, “יהוה, He is the Elohim! יהוה, He is the Elohim!”
 
Remember- not what we define as food- is food but what YHWH calls food IS food! (All our praying will not “sanctify” anything against His words! From the Scripture all things are sanctified by the WORD (His WORD) and prayer!)
 
(1 Corinthians 8:4) So then, concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is no matter at all in the world, and that there is no other Elohim but one. (1 Corinthians 8:5) For even if there are so-called mighty ones, whether in heaven or on earth – as there are many mighty ones and many masters – (1 Corinthians 8:6) for us there is one Elohim,1 the Father, from whom all came and for whom we live, and one Master יהושע Messiah, through whom all came and through whom we liveFootnote: Ephesians 4:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, Mark 12:32, 34. (1 Corinthians 8:7) However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being aware of the idol, until now eat it as having been offered to an idol, so their conscience, being weak, is defiled. (1 Corinthians 8:8) But food does not commend us to Elohim, for we are none the better if we eat, nor any worse for not eating. (1 Corinthians 8:9) But look to it, lest somehow this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak. (1 Corinthians 8:10) For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s place, shall not his conscience, if he is weak, be built up to eat food offered to idols? (1 Corinthians 8:11) So this weak brother, for whom Messiah died, shall perish through your knowledge! (1 Corinthians 8:12) Now sinning in this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Messiah. (1 Corinthians 8:13) Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I am never again going to eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
 
My prayer for you and me remains Loved One- that we put on daily the full armor of Elohim and have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahweh and with our wisdom- gain understanding. That we have the courage to OBEY what He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony- and hear Him say- “Well done – good and faith filled servant- enter into my joy!”
 
 
Shalom to your home Loved One,
 
Thurston
 
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 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 Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.”’” Footnote: John 4:22.
