Shabbat Shalom Loved One!


Last week we looked at the ten judgments of YHWH on the U.N., One World System of Pharaoh. How the Creator of all things humbled them and commanded them to let His people go that Israel could come and serve/worship Him. Since this is soon to happen again with the seals, trumps and lastly the bowls of wrath poured out on the disobedient stubborn hearted world system, let’s look quickly again of the pattern of things to come for our understanding. (Exo 10:3) And Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 10:4) ‘Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders. (Exo 10:5) ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. (Exo 10:6) ‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. (Exo 10:7) And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?”

Trials, tests, and tribulations are ahead. We must remind Him of His Covenant and put Him (His promises, His word, His Torah/instructions) in remembrance. (Speak His word over and about ourselves and our loved ones and do obey Him))



(Isa 43:25) "I, even I am the one who wipes out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. (Isa 43:26) "Put me in remembrance, let us argue (reason) our case together; state your cause, that you may be proved right. (Isa 43:27) "Your forefathers sinned and your spokesmen (pastors/teachers, etc) have transgressed against me.



Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Beshalach When He sent/Let Go

Exodus 13:17-17:16; Judges 4:4-5:31; John 6:22-40;



We too will need (and have) a cloud by day and fire by night!

(Exo 13:17) And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to Mitsrayim.” (Exo 13:18) So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds (Comment: Red Sea take a moment and see www.wyattmuseum.com where the scattered wreckage of Pharaoh’s drowned army and chariots are found in 1000’ of water) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 13:19) And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.” (Exo 13:20) And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the wilderness. (Exo 13:21) And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. (Exo 13:22) The column of cloud did not cease by day or the column of fire by night, before the people. (Exo 14:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exo 14:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Baʽal Tsephon – camp before it by the sea. (Exo 14:3) “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’ (Exo 14:4) “And I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה.” And they did so. (Exo 14:5) And it was reported to the sovereign of Mitsrayim that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra’ĕl go from serving us?”

(Exo 14:6) So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him.



Note here they took their best equipment to make war, this is why we are told to pray that we be made worthy escape all these things and stand at His appearing (unashamed here on the Earth) and not to pick up the sword and fight or else we die by the weapon of choice!



(Exo 14:7) And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Mitsrayim with officers over all of them. (Exo 14:8) And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim, and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of Yisra’ĕl went out defiantly. (Exo 14:9) And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Baʽal Tsephon. (Exo 14:10) And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted their eyes and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly afraid, so the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה. (Exo 14:11) And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the wilderness because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have done to us, to bring us up out of Mitsrayim? (Exo 14:12) “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Mitsrayim, saying, ‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been better for us to serve the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.” (Exo 14:13) And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not be afraid, stand very still, and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today.



More powerful than all the standing armies of the One World Order, YHWH our Elohim will fight for us! We must grow in trust and belief!



For the Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again. (Exo 14:14) “יהוה does fight for you and you keep still.” (Exo 14:15) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward. (Exo 14:16) “And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exo 14:17) “And I see I am hardening the hearts of the Mitsrites, and they shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exo 14:18) “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I am esteemed through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.” (Exo 14:19) And the Messenger (Angel) of Elohim, who went before the camp of Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from before them and stood behind them, (Exo 14:20) and came between the camp of the Mitsrites and the camp of Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by night, and the one did not come near the other all the night.



Note below where Moses obeys and stretches out His hand, lifts up His rod and YHWH blesses and later we see Moses striking the rock as though the rod is a magic stick and Moses is denied entry into the Promised Land for disobeying, for he was commanded to speak (like us).



(Exo 14:21) And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

(Exo 14:22) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Exo 14:23) And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exo 14:24) And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה looked down upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and cloud, and He brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion. (Exo 14:25) And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl, for יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.” (Exo 14:26) Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters come back upon the Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” (Exo 14:27) And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its usual flow, at the break of day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into it. Thus יהוה overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea, (Exo 14:28) and the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, and not even one was left of them. (Exo 14:29) And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Exo 14:30) Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that day out of the hand of the Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on the seashore. (Exo 14:31) And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in Mitsrayim, and the people feared יהוה, and believed יהוה and His servant Mosheh.



We too, according to Revelations will sing the song of Moses AND the song of the Lamb!



(Exo 15:1) Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to יהוה, and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

(Exo 15:2) “Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my deliverance. He is my Ěl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and I exalt Him. (Exo 15:3) “יהוה is a man of battle, יהוה is His Name. (Exo 15:4) “He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his chosen officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds. (Exo 15:5) “The depths covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone. (Exo 15:6) “Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy. (Exo 15:7) “And in the greatness of your excellence you pulled down those who rose up against you. you sent forth your wrath, it consumed them like stubble. (Exo 15:8) “And with the wind of your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea. (Exo 15:9) “The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil, my being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.’ (Exo 15:10) “You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them, and they sank like lead in the mighty waters. (Exo 15:11) “Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty ones? Who is like you, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders? (Exo 15:12) “You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them. (Exo 15:13) “In your kindness you led the people whom you have redeemed; in your strength You guided them to Your set-apart dwelling. (Exo 15:14) “Peoples heard, they trembled, and anguish gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.



The chiefs of Edom and Moab are all the Muslims who will be terrified of YHWH as He judges them for shedding innocent blood! Not 1 will be left the Scriptures promise! This will soon happen again!



(Exo 15:15) “Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kenaʽan melted. (Exo 15:16) “Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of your arm they are as silent as a stone, until your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people, whom you have bought, pass over. (Exo 15:17) “You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O יהוה, which you have made for your own dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה, which your hands have prepared. (Exo 15:18) “יהוה reigns forever and ever.” (Exo 15:19) The horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea. (Exo 15:20) And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. (Exo 15:21) And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!” (Exo 15:22) And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. (Exo 15:23) And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah.



Grumbling and complaining is costly with YHWH!



(Exo 15:24) And the people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, “What are we to drink?” (Exo 15:25) Then he cried out to יהוה, and יהוה showed him a tree. And when he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a law and a right-ruling for them, and there He tried them. (Exo 15:26) And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.” (Exo 15:27) And they came to Ělim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters. (Exo 16:1) And they set out from Ělim, and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ělim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 16:2) And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness. (Exo 16:3) And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of יהוה in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! You have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” (Exo 16:4) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to try them, whether they walk in My Torah or not. (Exo 16:5) “And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” (Exo 16:6) And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, “At evening you shall know that יהוה has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 16:7) “And in the morning you shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears your grumblings against יהוה. And what are we that you grumble against us?” (Exo 16:8) And Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your grumblings which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against יהוה.” (Exo 16:9) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come near before יהוה, for He has heard your grumblings.’ ” (Exo 16:10) And it came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they looked toward the wilderness and see, the esteem of יהוה appeared in the cloud. (Exo 16:11) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exo 16:12) “I have heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak to them, saying, ‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the morning you are to be satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Exo 16:13) And it came to be that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp. (Exo 16:14) And the layer of dew went up, and see, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground. (Exo 16:15) And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them, “It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat. (Exo 16:16) “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ” (Exo 16:17) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less. (Exo 16:18) And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need. (Exo 16:19) And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.” (Exo 16:20) And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them. (Exo 16:21) And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted. (Exo 16:22) And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh. (Exo 16:23) And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ” (Exo 16:24) And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it. (Exo 16:25) And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field. (Exo 16:26) “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.” (Exo 16:27) And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. (Exo 16:28) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard my commands and my Torot1? Footnote: 1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching. (Exo 16:29) “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place; do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.” (Exo 16:30) So the people rested on the seventh day1. Footnote: The seventh day of the week, the weekly Sabbath, was observed before the Ten Words were given on Mt. Sinai. (Exo 16:31) And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with honey. (Exo 16:32) And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exo 16:33) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.” (Exo 16:34) As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before the Witness, to keep. (Exo 16:35) And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Kenaʽan. (Exo 16:36) and an omer is one-tenth of a ĕphah. (Exo 17:1) And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of יהוה, and camped in Rephiḏim. And there was no water for the people to drink. (Exo 17:2) Therefore the people strove with Mosheh, and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Mosheh said to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try יהוה?” (Exo 17:3) And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Mosheh, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” (Exo 17:4) Then Mosheh cried out to יהוה, saying, “What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!” (Exo 17:5) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Yisra’ĕl. And take in your hand your rod with which you smote the river, and go. (Exo 17:6) “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.” And Mosheh did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’ĕl. (Exo 17:7) And he called the name of the place Massah and Meriḇah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because they ‘tried’ יהוה, saying, “Is יהוה in our midst or not?” (Exo 17:8) And Amalĕq came and fought with Yisra’ĕl in Rephiḏim. (Exo 17:9) And Mosheh said to Yehoshua, “Choose for us men and go out, fight with Amalĕq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill with the rod of Elohim in my hand.” (Exo 17:10) And Yehoshua did as Mosheh said to him, to fight with Amalĕq. And Mosheh, Aharon, and Ḥur went up to the top of the hill. (Exo 17:11) And it came to be, when Mosheh held up his hand, that Yisra’ĕl prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalĕq prevailed. (Exo 17:12) But Mosheh’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aharon and Ḥur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exo 17:13) And Yehoshua defeated Amalĕq and his people with the edge of the sword. (Exo 17:14) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write this for a remembrance in the book and recite it in the hearing of Yehoshua that I shall completely blot out the remembrance of Amalĕq from under the heavens.” (Exo 17:15) And Mosheh built an altar and called its name, יהוה Nissi, (Exo 17:16) for he said, “Because a hand is on the throne of Yah, יהוה is to fight against Amalĕq, from generation to generation.”



Another prophetess, as likened to Miriam (Moses sister). We should remember that YHWH created MAN- male and female or man and man with womb- womb-man, woman and we are all usable by YHWH.



(Judges 4:4) And Deḇorah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappiḏoth, was ruling Yisra’ĕl at that time.

(Judges 4:5) And she was dwelling under the palm tree of Deḇorah between Ramah and Bĕyth Ěl in the mountains of Ephrayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl came up to her for right-ruling.

(Judges 4:6) And she sent and called for Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam from Qeḏesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl commanded, ‘Go, and you shall draw towards Mount Taḇor, and shall take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zeḇulun, (Judges 4:7) and I shall draw unto you Sisera, the commander of Yaḇin’s army, with his chariots and his company at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand’?” (Judges 4:8) And Baraq said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you do not go with me, I do not go.” (Judges 4:9) And she said, “I shall certainly go with you. Only, there shall be no esteem for you in the journey you are taking, for יהוה is going to sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deḇorah arose and went with Baraq to Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:10) And Baraq called Zeḇulun and Naphtali to Qeḏesh. And he went up – ten thousand men under his command – and Deḇorah went up with him. (Judges 4:11) And Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, of the children of Ḥoḇaḇ the father-in-law of Mosheh, had separated himself from the Qĕynites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Tsaʽanayim, which is beside Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:12) And they reported to Sisera that Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam had gone up to Mount Taḇor. (Judges 4:13) So Sisera called all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Ḥarosheth Haggoyim to the wadi Qishon. (Judges 4:14) And Deḇorah said to Baraq, “Rise up! For this is the day in which יהוה has given Sisera into your hand. Has not יהוה gone out before you?” And Baraq went down from Mount Taḇor with ten thousand men after him. (Judges 4:15) And יהוה destroyed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Baraq. And Sisera leaped from his chariot and fled away on foot. (Judges 4:16) But Baraq pursued the chariots and the army as far as Ḥarosheth Haggoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, not one was left. (Judges 4:17) Sisera, meanwhile, had fled on foot to the tent of Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, for there was peace between Yaḇin sovereign of Ḥatsor and the house of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite. (Judges 4:18) And Yaʽĕl went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me, do not fear.” So he turned aside with her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket. (Judges 4:19) And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him. (Judges 4:20) And he said to her, “Stand at the door of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and asks you, and says, ‘Is there a man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’ ” (Judges 4:21) But Yaʽĕl, Ḥeḇer’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into the side of his head, and it went down into the ground – for he was fast asleep and exhausted – and he died. (Judges 4:22) And see, as Baraq pursued Sisera, Yaʽĕl came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, let me show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in the side of his head. (Judges 4:23) And on that day Elohim humbled Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan in the presence of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 4:24) And the hand of the children of Yisra’ĕl grew stronger and stronger against Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan, until they had cut off Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan. (Judges 5:1) And on that day Deḇorah and Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam sang, saying, (Judges 5:2) “For leaders leading in Yisra’ĕl, for the people volunteering, bless יהוה! (Judges 5:3) “Hear O sovereigns! Give ear, O princes! I, I do sing to יהוה; I sing praise to יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:4) “יהוה, when you went out from Sĕʽir, when you stepped from the field of Eḏom, the earth shook and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water. (Judges 5:5) “The mountains flowed at the presence of יהוה, this Sinai, at the presence of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:6) “In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Yaʽĕl, the highways were deserted, and the travelers went in crooked ways. (Judges 5:7) “Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ĕl arose. (Judges 5:8) “They chose new mighty ones, then fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty thousand in Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:9) “My heart is towards the lawgivers of Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless יהוה! (Judges 5:10) “You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets and you who walk along the way, declare it! (Judges 5:11) “By the voice of shouters, between the places of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of יהוה, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the people of יהוה shall go down to the gates. (Judges 5:12) “Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, and sing a song! Arise, Baraq, and lead your captive’s away, O son of Aḇinoʽam! (Judges 5:13) “Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; יהוה came down for me against the mighty ones.



YHWH sends manna again!



(John 6:22) On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone – (John 6:23) but other boats came from Kinnereth, near the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks – (John 6:24) therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע was not there, nor His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע. (John 6:25) And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” (John 6:26) יהושע answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied. (John 6:27) “Do not labor for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam shall give you,1 for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on Him.” Footnote: 1See vv. 35, 48, 51, 58, and Mt. 4:4. (John 6:28) So they said to Him, “What should we do to work the works of Elohim?” (John 6:29) יהושע answered and said to them, “This is the work of Elohim that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:30) So they said to Him, “What sign then would you do, so that we see and believe you? What would you do? (John 6:31) “Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread out of the heaven to eat.’ ” (John 6:32) Therefore יהושע said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Mosheh did not give you the bread out of the heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of the heaven. (John 6:33) “The bread of Elohim is He who comes down out of the heaven and gives life to the world.” (John 6:34) So they said to Him, “Master, give us this bread always.” (John 6:35) And יהושע said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall not get hungry at all, and he who believes in me shall not get thirsty at all. (John 6:36) “But I said to you that you have seen me, and still do not believe. (John 6:37) “All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and the one who comes to me I shall by no means cast out. (John 6:38) “I have come down out of the heaven, not to do my own desire, but the desire of Him who sent me. (John 6:39) “This is the desire of the Father who sent me, that all He has given me I should not lose of it, but should raise it in the last day. (John 6:40) “And this is the desire of Him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him should possess everlasting life. And I shall raise him up in the last day.” (Comment: Last trump: Feast of Trumpets- likely 2017 September or October)



Thank you much loved one, for your continued on target prayers for us as we meet the family of your brothers and sisters around the Earth! We will see the fullness of the gentiles this year. That is the fullness of the judgment of the gentiles (Ephraim) as the 2730 years of judgment is coming to an end shortly (most likely Aviv 1, 2010 which is March or April) Then if I have heard correctly, amidst great troubles worldwide (especially USA) rockets fly! Sure hope I am wrong about that insight! It is time to be sober and alert and absolutely about our Father’s business. Don’t forget www.seedtime2harvest.com, praise YHWH for Eddie Rogers who administers it! Also remember the blog pot done by Brian and Kendra Brown in Costa Rica; at www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com! What a blessing to be teamed up with these wonderful families that are such a blessing! YHWH sure knows how to pick FAMILY! May YHWH bless you loved ones who are the family of our soon coming King! Let us be about our Father’s business so we won’t be ashamed when we stand in front of Him. We turn now and make ourselves the bride without spot or blemish as we come out of all pagan traditions we have inherited- lies and things of no profit!

Shalom to your home,

Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Last week our study reminded us that YHWH Elohim hears our prayers and groanings and will also deliver us from our burdens, wars, famine, and wild beasts of the earth (Comment: germ warfare most likely- such as swine flu, avian flu, aids etc) of the One World Order, U.N. and world’s wealthy ruling elite who have determined a world population reduction of at least 80%! We should again see how YHWH will remember His Covenant with us who are willing to turn and obey Him and receive His blessings of deliverance as He does this for us with an “outstretched arm also! (Exo 6:2) And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה. (Exo 6:3) “And I appeared to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, יהוה was I not known to them? (Exo 6:4) “And I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojournings, in which they have sojourned. (Exo 6:5) “And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra’ĕl whom the Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. (Exo 6:6) “Say, therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am יהוה, and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites, and shall deliver you from their enslaving, and shall redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments, (Exo 6:7) and shall take you as my people, and I shall be your Elohim. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites. (Exo 6:8) ‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an inheritance. I am יהוה.’ ” (Exo 6:9) And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of Yisra’ĕl, but they did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit, and from hard slavery.



Truth Seekers, we have studied and reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can expect in the days ahead. Please do remember the Scriptures declare this Exodus will be a far greater deliverance than even Moses and Israel crossing the Red Sea. Can we even imagine: a 1000 ‘ (approx 300 meters) wall of water on both sides of us or 100 story building high of water and – we escape but our enemies are drowned? That is the waters depth where the chariot wheels and wreckage of Pharaohs’ army were discovered; (see: www.wyattmuseum.com) our deliverance will be greater! Thank you for your prayers and intercession as I am meeting part of our family of loved ones in South Africa with meetings all the way up the Indian Ocean from Capetown to Richard’s Baii (Bay) and they are delightful people indeed! They are Ephraim of Dutch, British German and French descents! You would love them also, no doubt!

Once again we need to remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Who is my family?)

(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH! /Instructions) we are Yahshua’s (Jesus) family!



We should also realize a truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION we would recognize and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last days. This isn’t the “Jews” Trouble- it is everyone grafted into Israel by faith in Yahshua- all 12 tribes!) (YHWH reveals truth as we get closer and closer and need to know) These are lies that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jer 16:19) O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, 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.



(Deu 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.



There it is in a nutshell once again. You are family if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions. This group would include us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?



We must be willing to humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.





This week’s Torah Scriptures: BO “Enter-Go-Come”




Exodus 10:1-13:16; Jeremiah 46:13-28; 1 Corinthians 11:20-34; Judges Chapters 19, 20, and 21



(Exo 10:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that I show these signs of mine before him, (Exo 10:2) and that you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in Mitsrayim, and my signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” (Exo 10:3) And Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 10:4) ‘Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders. (Exo 10:5) ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. (Exo 10:6) ‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. (Exo 10:7) And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?” (Exo 10:8) And Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve יהוה your Elohim. Who are the ones that are going?” (Exo 10:9) And Mosheh said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival to יהוה.” (Exo 10:10) And he said to them, “Let יהוה be with you as I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face! (Exo 10:11) “Not so! You men go now, and serve יהוה, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh. (Exo 10:12) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts to come upon the land of Mitsrayim, and eat every plant of the land – all that the hail has left.” (Exo 10:13) And Mosheh stretched out his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. Morning came, and the east wind brought the locusts. (Exo 10:14) And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the borders of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been locusts like them before, nor would there again be like them. (Exo 10:15) And they covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left, and no greenness was left on the trees or on the plants of the field, in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 10:16) Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon in haste, and said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you. (Exo 10:17) “And now, please forgive my sin only this once, and pray to יהוה your Elohim, that He would only turn away this death from me.” (Exo 10:18) And he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה. (Exo 10:19) And יהוה turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust was left within all the border of Mitsrayim.



In Great Tribulation there are 5 months of darkness but I bet we will have light!



(Exo 10:20) However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go. (Exo 10:21) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.” (Exo 10:22) And Mosheh stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days. (Exo 10:23) They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings. (Exo 10:24) And Pharaoh called to Mosheh and said, “Go, serve יהוה, only leave your flocks and your herds behind. Let your little ones go with you too.” (Exo 10:25) But Mosheh said, “You yourself are to provide us with slaughtering and burnt offerings, to prepare for יהוה our Elohim. (Exo 10:26) “And our livestock are to go with us too, not a hoof is to be left behind, for we have to take some of them to serve יהוה our Elohim, and we ourselves do not know with what we are to serve יהוה until we come there.” (Exo 10:27) However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not let them go. (Exo 10:28) And Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Watch yourself and see my face no more, for in the day you see my face you die!” (Exo 10:29) And Mosheh said, “You have spoken rightly – never again do I see your face!” (Exo 11:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I am bringing yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. After that he is going to let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall drive you out from here altogether. (Exo 11:2) “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, objects of silver and objects of gold.” (Exo 11:3) And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites. And the man Mosheh was very great in the land of Mitsrayim, in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people. (Exo 11:4) And Mosheh said, “Thus said יהוה, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim, (Exo 11:5) and all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female servant who is behind the hand mill, and all the first-born of cattle. (Exo 11:6) ‘And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has never been or ever be again.(Exo 11:7) ‘But against any of the children of Yisra’ĕl no dog shall move its tongue, against man or against beast, so that you know that יהוה makes distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ĕl.’ (Exo 11:8) “And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure. (Exo 11:9) But יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, in order to multiply my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 11:10) And Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.



Note that the month of Abib and the Passover month is the Rosh Hashanah Not the one Judaism made up to deny Yahshua, moving it to Feast of Trumpets!



(Exo 12:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Exo 12:2) “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you. (Exo 12:3) “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. (Exo 12:4) ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb. (Exo 12:5) ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats. (Exo 12:6) ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. (Exo 12:7) ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. (Exo 12:8) ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exo 12:9) ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts. (Exo 12:10) ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire. (Exo 12:11) ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Passover of יהוה. (Exo 12:12) ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה. (Exo 12:13) ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 12:14) ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it as a festival, an everlasting law. (Exo 12:15) ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl. (Exo 12:16) ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you. (Exo 12:17) ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law. (Exo 12:18) ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening. (Exo 12:19) ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land. (Exo 12:20) ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’ ” (Exo 12:21) And Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and slaughter the Passover lamb. (Exo 12:22) “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.



Passover allows the blood of the Lamb to stop the works of the Destroyer! Pray a bloodline around your family, home, belongings and watch!



(Exo 12:23) “And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. (Exo 12:24) “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons, forever. (Exo 12:25) “And it shall be, when you come to the land which יהוה gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service. (Exo 12:26) “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’ (Exo 12:27) then you shall say, ‘It is the Passover slaughtering of יהוה, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ĕl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance. (Exo 12:28) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went away and did so – as יהוה had commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exo 12:29) And it came to be at midnight that יהוה smote all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of livestock. (Exo 12:30) And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one. (Exo 12:31) Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said. (Exo 12:32) “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.” (Exo 12:33) And the Mitsrites urged the people, to hasten to send them away out of the land. For they said, “We are all dying!” (Exo 12:34) And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders. (Exo 12:35) And the children of Yisra’ĕl had done according to the word of Mosheh, and they had asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver, and objects of gold, and garments. (Exo 12:36) And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites, so that they gave them what they asked, and they plundered the Mitsrites. (Exo 12:37) And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out from Raʽmeses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. (Exo 12:38) And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock. (Exo 12:39) And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out of Mitsrayim, and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for themselves. (Exo 12:40) And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ĕl who lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years.

(Exo 12:41) And it came to be at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to be that all the divisions of יהוה went out from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 12:42) It is a night to be observed unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto יהוה, to be observed by all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations. (Exo 12:43) And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “This is the law of the Passover: No son of a stranger is to eat of it, (Exo 12:44) but any servant a man has bought for silver, when you have circumcised him, then let him eat of it. (Exo 12:45) “A sojourner and a hired servant does not eat of it. (Exo 12:46) “It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh outside the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. (Exo 12:47) “All the congregation of Yisra’ĕl are to perform it. (Exo 12:48) “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no uncircumcised eat of it.



YHWH Elohim is No respecter of persons, same Torah (Instructions) for native born and those grafted in!



(Exo 12:49) “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” (Exo 12:50) And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exo 12:51) And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.



Feast of Unleavened Bread and the month of Abib (stage of fruitfulness of barley to allow Firstfruits following Passover and Unleavened Bread!)



(Exo 13:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exo 13:2) “Set apart to me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.” (Exo 13:3) And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten. (Exo 13:4) “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ. (Exo 13:5) “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you in the land of the Kenaʽanites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month. (Exo 13:6) “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to יהוה. (Exo 13:7) “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within your entire border. (Exo 13:8) “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’ (Exo 13:9) “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim. (Exo 13:10) “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year. (Exo 13:11) “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, (Exo 13:12) that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה. (Exo 13:13) “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom. (Exo 13:14) “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. (Exo 13:15) ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’ (Exo 13:16) “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 13:17) And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to Mitsrayim.” (Exo 13:18) So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 13:19) And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.” (Exo 13:20) And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the wilderness. (Exo 13:21) And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

(Exo 13:22) The column of cloud did not cease by day or the column of fire by night, before the people.



Fear NOT Ephraim! Where you are scattered I will gather you!



(Jer 46:13) The word which יהוה spoke to Yirmeyahu the prophet, about the coming of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel, to smite the land of Mitsrayim: (Jer 46:14) “Declare in Mitsrayim, and let it be heard in Miḡdol. And let it be heard in Noph and in Taḥpanḥes. Say, ‘Stand fast and be prepared, for a sword shall devour all around you.’ (Jer 46:15) “Why were our strong ones swept away? They did not stand because יהוה drove them away. (Jer 46:16) “He made many stumble; indeed, they fell over each other, and said, ‘Arise! Let us go back to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from the oppressing sword.’ (Jer 46:17) “There they cried, ‘Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by!’ (Jer 46:18) “As I live,” declares the Sovereign, whose Name is יהוה of hosts, “For as Taḇor is among the mountains, and as Karmel by the sea, he shall come. (Jer 46:19) “O you daughter dwelling in Mitsrayim, prepare yourself to go into exile! Noph shall become a waste and a ruin, and be burned, without inhabitant. (Jer 46:20) “Mitsrayim is like a very pretty heifer, but destruction comes, it comes from the north. (Jer 46:21) “Her hired ones too, in her midst, are like fattened calves, for they too shall turn, they shall flee away together. They shall not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment. (Jer 46:22) “Its sound moves along like a serpent, for they move on like an army and come against her with axes, like woodcutters. (Jer 46:23) “They shall cut down her forest;” declares יהוה, “for it is not searched, because they are more numerous than locusts, and without number. (Jer 46:24) “The daughter of Mitsrayim shall be put to shame. She shall be given into the hand of the people of the north.” (Jer 46:25) יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, has said, “See, I am bringing punishment on Amon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Mitsrayim, and on their mighty ones, and on their sovereigns, and on Pharaoh and on those trusting in him. (Jer 46:26) “And I shall give them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel and into the hand of his servants. And afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares יהוה. (Jer 46:27) “But as for you, do not fear, O My servant Yaʽaqoḇ, and do not be discouraged, O Yisra’ĕl! For look, I am saving you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. And Yaʽaqoḇ shall return, and shall have rest and be at ease, with no one disturbing. (Jer 46:28) “Do not fear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant” declares יהוה, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the gentiles to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you1. But I shall reprove you in right-ruling, and by no means leave you unpunished.” Footnote: 1See 46:28, Isa. 34:2, Isa. 45:17, Dan. 2:44, Amos 9:8, Hag. 2:22.



Seriously judge ourselves or He will! Never did Messiah command us to celebrate His birth…He wants us to celebrate Passover! (His death)



(1Co 11:20) So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper. (1Co 11:21) For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk. (1Co 11:22) Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! (1Co 11:23) For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, (1Co 11:24) and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” (1Co 11:25) In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in my blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of me.”

(1Co 11:26) For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes. (1Co 11:27) Whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master. (1Co 11:28) But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. (1Co 11:29) For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to him, not discerning the body of the Master. (1Co 11:30) Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. (1Co 11:31) For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged. (1Co 11:32) But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1Co 11:33) So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. (1Co 11:34) And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.





Wickedness.



(Judges 19:1) And it came to be in those days, when there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl, that there was a certain Lĕwite sojourning on the further side of the mountains of Ephrayim. And he took for himself a concubine from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah. (Judges 19:2) And his concubine committed whoring against him, and went away from him to her father’s house at Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, and was there four months. (Judges 19:3) And her husband arose and went after her, to speak to her heart and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. And she brought him into her father’s house. And the father of the young woman saw him, and he was glad to meet him. (Judges 19:4) And his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, detained him, and he dwelt with him three days. And they ate and drank and spent the nights there. (Judges 19:5) And it came to be on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning. And he prepared to leave, but the young woman’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a piece of bread, and afterward go your way.” (Judges 19:6) So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. And the young woman’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay all night, and let your heart be glad.” (Judges 19:7) And when the man arose to go, his father-in-law urged him. So he spent the night there again. (Judges 19:8) And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to go. But the young woman’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they delayed until afternoon, and both of them ate. (Judges 19:9) And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. But his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “See, the day is now drawing toward evening. Please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end. Stay here, and let your heart be glad. And you shall rise early tomorrow for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.” (Judges 19:10) But the man would not stay that night. And he arose and left, and came to a place opposite Yeḇus, that is Yerushalayim. And with him were the two saddled donkeys, and his concubine with him. (Judges 19:11) They were near Yeḇus, and the day was far spent. And the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Yeḇusites and spend the night in it.” (Judges 19:12) And his master said to him, “Let us not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Yisra’ĕl. But we shall pass over to Giḇʽah.” (Judges 19:13) And he said to his servant, “Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Giḇʽah or in Ramah.” (Judges 19:14) And they passed over and went their way. And the sun went down on them near Giḇʽah, which belongs to Binyamin, (Judges 19:15) and they turned off there to go in to spend the night in Giḇʽah. So he went in, and he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night. (Judges 19:16) But see, an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, which also was from the mountains of Ephrayim. And he was sojourning in Giḇʽah, whereas the men of the place were Binyamites. (Judges 19:17) And when he lifted up his eyes, he saw the traveler in the open square of the city. And the old man said, “Where are you going, and where do you come from?” (Judges 19:18) And he said to him, “We are passing over from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah to the other side of the mountains of Ephrayim. I am from there, and I went to Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, and I am going to the House of יהוה. But there is no one taking me into his house, (Judges 19:19) yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and bread and wine for myself, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of any matter.” (Judges 19:20) And the old man said, “Peace be with you! However, let all your needs be on me, only do not spend the night in the open square.” (Judges 19:21) And he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank. (Judges 19:22) They were making their hearts glad, and see, men of the city, sons of Beliyaʽal, surrounded the house, beating on the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, so that we know him!” (Judges 19:23) But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers! I beg you, do no evil! Since this man has come into my house, do not do this folly. (Judges 19:24) “Look, here is my maiden daughter and the man’s concubine. Let me bring them out now, and humble them, and do with them what is good in your eyes, but do not do such a foolish matter to this man!” (Judges 19:25) But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and rolled themselves on her all night until morning, and let her go when the day began to break. (Judges 19:26) And as morning appeared the woman came back and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her master was, till it was light. (Judges 19:27) And her master rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, and saw his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold. (Judges 19:28) And he said to her, “Rise up and let us go.” But there was no answer. Then he took her on the donkey, and the man rose and went to his place, (Judges 19:29) and came into his house and took a knife, then laid hold of his concubine, and cut her up limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Yisra’ĕl.



Wickedness with rape and murder…as in the days of Noah (wicked) will be the coming of the Son of Man…righteousness must rise up. It was against a priest (His wife) so it was also a spiritual attack.



(Judges 19:30) And it came to be that all who saw it said, “There has never been, and there has not been seen the like of this, from the day that the children of Yisra’ĕl came up from the land of Mitsrayim until this day. Set your heart on it, take counsel, and speak up!” (Judges 20:1) And all the children of Yisra ’ĕl came out, from Dan to Be’ ĕrsheḇa and from the land of Gilʽaḏ, and the congregation assembled as one man before יהוה at Mitspah. (Judges 20:2) And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of Elohim, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword. (Judges 20:3) And the children of Binyamin heard that the children of Yisra’ĕl had gone up to Mitspah. And the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Speak up, how did this evil come about?” (Judges 20:4) And the man, the Lĕwite, husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “My concubine and I went into Giḇʽah, which belongs to Binyamin, to spend the night. (Judges 20:5) “And the masters of Giḇʽah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They thought to kill me, but instead they humbled my concubine, and she died. (Judges 20:6) “Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the land of the inheritance of Yisra’ĕl, because they committed wickedness and folly in Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:7) “Look, you are all children of Yisra’ĕl, speak and give your counsel here!” (Judges 20:8) And the entire people rose as one man, saying, “Let not one of us go to his tent, nor any of us turn back to his house. (Judges 20:9) “And now, this is what we do to Giḇʽah: go against it by lot. (Judges 20:10) “And we shall take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make food for the people, to prepare for their going to Giḇʽah in Binyamin, for all the folly they did in Yisra’ĕl.” (Judges 20:11) And all the men of Yisra’ĕl were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. (Judges 20:12) And the tribes of Yisra’ĕl sent men through all the tribe of Binyamin, saying, “What is this evil that has come about among you? (Judges 20:13) “And now, give us the men, the sons of Beliyaʽal who are in Giḇʽah, so that we put them to death and put away evil from Yisra’ĕl!” But the children of Binyamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:14) The children of Binyamin gathered together from their cities to Giḇʽah, to go to battle against the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:15) And from their cities at that time the children of Binyamin registered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Giḇʽah, who registered seven hundred chosen men.

(Judges 20:16) Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed, each one could sling a stone at a hair’s breadth and not miss. (Judges 20:17) And besides Binyamin, the men of Yisra’ĕl registered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword, all of these were men of battle. (Judges 20:18) And the children of Yisra’ĕl rose and went up to Bĕyth Ěl to ask of Elohim, and they said, “Who of us go up first to battle against the children of Binyamin?” And יהוה said, “Yehuḏah first.” (Judges 20:19) And the children of Yisra’ĕl rose in the morning and encamped against Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:20) And the men of Yisra’ĕl went out to battle against Binyamin, and the men of Yisra’ĕl put themselves in battle array to fight against them at Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:21) And the children of Binyamin came out of Giḇʽah, and on that day cut down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of the Yisra’ĕlites.

(Judges 20:22) But the people, the men of Yisra’ĕl, strengthened themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day. (Judges 20:23) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up and wept before יהוה until evening, and asked of יהוה, saying, “Should I again draw near for battle against the children of my brother Binyamin?” And יהוה said, “Go up against him.” (Judges 20:24) And the children of Yisra’ĕl drew near to the children of Binyamin on the second day. (Judges 20:25) And Binyamin went out against them from Giḇʽah on the second day, and cut down to the ground eighteen thousand more of the children of Yisra’ĕl – all these drew the sword. (Judges 20:26) And all the children of Yisra’ĕl, even all the people, went up and came to Bĕyth Ěl and wept, and sat there before יהוה and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before יהוה. (Judges 20:27) And the children of Yisra’ĕl asked of יהוה – the ark of the covenant of Elohim was there in those days, (Judges 20:28) and Pineḥas son of Elʽazar, son of Aharon, stood before it in those days – saying, “Should I yet again go out to battle against the children of my brother Binyamin, or should I cease?” And יהוה said, “Go up, for tomorrow I give them into your hand.” (Judges 20:29) And Yisra’ĕl set ambushers all around Giḇʽah. (Judges 20:30) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up against the children of Binyamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Giḇʽah as at the other times. (Judges 20:31) And the children of Binyamin came out to meet the people – drawn away from the city. And they began to smite some of the people, slaying, as at the other times, in the highways, of which one went up to Bĕyth Ěl and the other to Giḇʽah in the field, about thirty men of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 20:32) And the children of Binyamin said, “They are going to be smitten before us, as previously.” But the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways.” (Judges 20:33) And all the men of Yisra’ĕl rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baʽal Tamar. And the ambush of Yisra’ĕl broke forth from their position at Maʽareh Geḇa. (Judges 20:34) And ten thousand chosen men from all Yisra’ĕl came against Giḇʽah, and the battle was fierce. But they did not know that calamity was close to them. (Judges 20:35) יהוה smote Binyamin before Yisra’ĕl. And the children of Yisra’ĕl destroyed twenty-five thousand one hundred men on that day in Binyamin – all these drew the sword. (Judges 20:36) And the children of Binyamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Yisra’ĕl had given ground to the Binyamites, because they trusted in the ambush that they had set against Giḇʽah, (Judges 20:37) and the ambush hurried and came against Giḇʽah, and the ambush spread out and smote the entire city with the edge of the sword. (Judges 20:38) And the appointed signal between the men of Yisra’ĕl and the ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city, (Judges 20:39) then the men of Yisra’ĕl would turn in battle, and Binyamin began to smite dead about thirty of the men of Yisra’ĕl. For they said, “They are indeed smitten before us, as at the first battle.” (Judges 20:40) Then the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, and the Binyamites looked behind them, and saw the entire city going up in smoke to the heavens. (Judges 20:41) And when the men of Yisra’ĕl turned back, the men of Binyamin were troubled, for they saw that calamity was close to them. (Judges 20:42) And they turned their backs before the men of Yisra’ĕl toward the way of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, while those who had come out of the cities were destroying them in their midst. (Judges 20:43) They surrounded the Binyamites and pursued them, and with ease trampled them down as far as the front of Giḇʽah toward the east. (Judges 20:44) And there fell of Binyamin eighteen thousand men – all of these were mighty men. (Judges 20:45) And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. And they cut down five thousand of them on the highways, and followed after them up to Giḏom, and smote two thousand of them. (Judges 20:46) And all who fell of Binyamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword, all of these were mighty men. (Judges 20:47) But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they dwelt at the rock of Rimmon for four months. (Judges 20:48) And the men of Yisra’ĕl turned back against the children of Binyamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. And they set fire to all the cities they came to.



Wickedness prevailed among Benjamin (a tribe of Israel and chosen) as the defended evil acts and YHWH judged them and it continues here. Look at the mercy of YHWH to restore His family, the 12 tribes!



(Judges 21:1) And the men of Yisra’ĕl had sworn an oath at Mitspah, saying, “Not one of us shall give his daughter to Binyamin as a wife.” (Judges 21:2) So the people came to Bĕyth Ěl, and sat there until evening before Elohim, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, (Judges 21:3) and said, “O יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, why has this come about in Yisra’ĕl, that today there should be one tribe missing in Yisra’ĕl?” (Judges 21:4) And it came to be on the morrow, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and brought burnt offerings and peace offerings. (Judges 21:5) And the children of Yisra’ĕl said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl who did not come up with the assembly to יהוה?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to יהוה at Mitspah, saying, “He shall certainly be put to death.” (Judges 21:6) And the children of Yisra’ĕl were sorry for Binyamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Yisra’ĕl today. (Judges 21:7) “What do we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by יהוה not to give them our daughters as wives?” (Judges 21:8) And they said, “Which one of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl did not come up to Mitspah to יהוה?” And see, no one had come to the camp from Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ to the assembly. (Judges 21:9) For when the people called a roll, see, not one of the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ was there. (Judges 21:10) And the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their bravest men, and commanded them, saying, “Go, and you shall smite the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ with the edge of the sword, even the women and children. (Judges 21:11) “And this is what you do: Put under the ban every male, and every woman who has known a man by lying with him.” (Judges 21:12) And they found among the inhabitants of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ four hundred young maidens who had not known a man. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Kenaʽan. (Judges 21:13) then the entire congregation sent, and spoke to the children of Binyamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them. (Judges 21:14) And Binyamin turned back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Yaḇĕsh Gilʽaḏ. But even so there were not enough for them. (Judges 21:15) And the people were sorry for Binyamin, because יהוה had made a breach in the tribes of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 21:16) And the elders of the congregation said, “What do we do for wives for those who remain, since the women have been destroyed out of Binyamin?” (Judges 21:17) And they said, “There is an inheritance for the survivors of Binyamin, and no tribe is to be destroyed from Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 21:18) “But we are unable to give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Yisra’ĕl have sworn an oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Binyamin.’ ” (Judges 21:19) so they said, “See, there is a yearly festival of יהוה in Shiloh, which is north of Bĕyth Ěl, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bĕyth Ěl to Sheḵem, and south of Leḇonah.” (Judges 21:20) And they commanded the children of Binyamin, saying, “Go, lie in wait in the vineyards, (Judges 21:21) “and watch. And see, when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, and then you shall come out from the vineyards and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Binyamin. (Judges 21:22) “And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we shall say to them, ‘Favor us with them, because we did not take a wife for any of them in battle, neither have you given them to them, making yourselves guilty of your oath.’ ” (Judges 21:23) And the children of Binyamin did so, and took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. Then they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them. (Judges 21:24) And the children of Yisra’ĕl went from there at that time, each one to his tribe and clan. And they went from there, each one to his inheritance. (Judges 21:25) In those days there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl – everyone did what was right in his own eyes1. Footnote: 1See 17:6, and Deut. 12:8.

Thanks for your prayers, please see my thank you note at the end of our study!

Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Reviewing last week’s study, we take note that the midwives feared YHWH, more than they feared Pharaoh and the One World Order of the elite and wealthy rulers. We should take note because YHWH casts the fearful into hell’s flames along with the unbelieving: (Rev 21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. It appears from this Scripture that we should fear not! 385 times the word fear appears in the KJV of the Bible and over half of them indicate FEAR NOT! The remainder fear verses remind us to fear Him (YHWH) who can kill both body and soul and cast us into hell fire! We must not trust in hasatan’s power to destroy us more than we trust in YHWH’s power to deliver us as that is offensive to YHWH!



Let’s now review what happened with the midwives. (Exo 1:12) But the more they afflicted them, the more they increased and grew, and they were in dread of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Exo 1:13) And the Mitsrites made the children of Yisra’ĕl serve with harshness, (Exo 1:14) and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all kinds of work in the field, all their work which they made them do was with harshness. (Exo 1:15) Then the sovereign of Mitsrayim spoke to the Heḇrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puʽah, (Exo 1:16) and he said, “When you deliver the Heḇrew women, and see them on the birth stools, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death, but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” (Exo 1:17) But the midwives feared Elohim, and did not do as the sovereign of Mitsrayim commanded them, and kept the male children alive. (Exo 1:18) So the sovereign of Mitsrayim called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and kept the male children alive?” (Exo 1:19) And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Heḇrew women are not like the Mitsrite women. For they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.” (Exo 1:20) So Elohim was good to the midwives and the people increased and became very numerous. (Exo 1:21) And it came to be, because the midwives feared Elohim that He provided households for them. Let’s now turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Cycle of learning about YHWH’s Torah (Instructions) for our benefit.



Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Va’ Era “and I appeared”

Exodus 6:2-9:35; Ezekiel 28:25-29:21; Romans 9:14-24;

Judges Chapters 16, 17, and 18



YHWH (Yahweh) will see and hear our suffering also as we enter into hardships, trials and Great Tribulation ahead. As we remind Him of His Covenant and put Him (His promises, His word, His Torah/instructions) in remembrance. (Speak His word over and about ourselves)



(Isa 43:25) "I, even I am the one who wipes out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. (Isa 43:26) "Put me in remembrance, let us argue (reason) our case together; state your cause, that you may be proved right. (Isa 43:27) "Your forefathers sinned and your spokesmen (pastors/teachers, etc) have transgressed against me.



YHWH appeared!



(Exo 6:2) And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה. (Exo 6:3) “And I appeared to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, יהוה was I not known to them? (Exo 6:4) “And I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojournings, in which they have sojourned. (Exo 6:5) “And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra’ĕl whom the Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. (Exo 6:6) “Say, therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am יהוה, and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites, and shall deliver you from their enslaving, and shall redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments, (Exo 6:7) and shall take you as my people, and I shall be your Elohim. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites. (Exo 6:8) ‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an inheritance. I am יהוה.’ ” (Exo 6:9) And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of Yisra’ĕl, but they did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit, and from hard slavery. (Exo 6:10) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exo 6:11) “Go in, speak to Pharaoh Sovereign (King) of Mitsrayim to let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.” (Exo 6:12) And Mosheh spoke before יהוה, saying, “The children of Yisra’ĕl have not listened to me, and why would Pharaoh listen to me for I am of uncircumcised lips?” (Exo 6:13) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, and gave them a command for the children of Yisra’ĕl and for Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, to bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 6:14) These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Re’uḇĕn, the first-born of Yisra’ĕl: Ḥanoḵ and Pallu, Ḥetsron and Karmi. These are the clans of Re’uḇĕn. (Exo 6:15) And the sons of Shimʽon: Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin, and Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul the son of a Kenaʽanite woman. These are the clans of Shimʽon. (Exo 6:16) These are the names of the sons of Lĕwi according to their generations: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Lĕwi were one hundred and thirty-seven. (Exo 6:17) The sons of Gĕreshon: Liḇni and Shimʽi according to their clans. (Exo 6:18) And the sons of Qehath: Amram, and Yitshar, and Ḥeḇron, and Uzzi’ĕl. And the years of the life of Qehath were one hundred and thirty-three. (Exo 6:19) And the sons of Merari: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the clans of Lĕwi according to their generations. (Exo 6:20) And Amram took for himself Yoḵeḇeḏ, his father’s sister, as wife. And she bore him Aharon and Mosheh. And the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven. (Exo 6:21) And the sons of Yitshar: Qoraḥ, and Nepheḡ, and Ziḵri. (Exo 6:22) And the sons of Uzzi’ĕl: Misha’ĕl, and Eltsaphan, and Sithri. (Exo 6:23) Aharon took to himself Elisheḇa, daughter of Amminaḏaḇ, sister of Naḥshon, as wife. And she bore him Naḏaḇ, and Aḇihu, Elʽazar, and Ithamar. (Exo 6:24) And the sons of Qoraḥ: Assir, Elqanah, and Aḇiyasaph. These are the clans of the Qorḥites. (Exo 6:25) And Elʽazar, Aharon’s son, took for himself one of the daughters of Puti’ĕl as wife. And she bore him Pineḥas. These are the heads of the fathers of the Lĕwites according to their clans. (Exo 6:26) This is Aharon, and Mosheh, to whom יהוה said, “Bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.” (Exo 6:27) They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh Sovereign (King) of Mitsrayim, to bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from Mitsrayim. This is Mosheh, and Aharon. (Exo 6:28) And it came to be, on the day when יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the land of Mitsrayim, (Exo 6:29) that יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, “I am יהוה. Speak to Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim all that I say to you.” (Exo 6:30) And Mosheh said before יהוה, “See, I am of uncircumcised lips, and why would Pharaoh listen to me?” (Exo 7:1) So יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I have made you an elohim1 to Pharaoh, and Aharon your brother is your prophet. Footnote: 1Or mighty one – see footnote at 4:16. (Exo 7:2) “You shall speak all that I command you, and Aharon your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land. (Exo 7:3) “But I am going to harden the heart of Pharaoh, and shall increase my signs and my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 7:4) “And Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, and I shall lay my hand on Mitsrayim, and bring my divisions and my people, the children of Yisra’ĕl, out of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments. (Exo 7:5) “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I stretch out my hand on Mitsrayim. And I shall bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out from among them.” (Exo 7:6) And Mosheh and Aharon did as יהוה commanded them, so they did. (Exo 7:7) Now Mosheh was eighty years old and Aharon eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.



Soon, the false gods of the world powers of the elite- the U.N. One World Order will also be destroyed as this is the pattern of YHWH introducing Himself to the world



The battle begins and we will soon really know who we should fear- who has the real power? The reason all of us are truly set free is that we may come and “worship” Him also. It is about intimacy and really knowing Him- not just knowing about Him. (Remember even the demons “believe” in Him)



(Exo 7:8) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Exo 7:9) “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and throw it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” (Exo 7:10) So Mosheh and Aharon went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as יהוה commanded. And Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. (Exo 7:11) But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the practicers of witchcraft. And the magicians of Mitsrayim also did so with their magic. (Exo 7:12) And they, each one, threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But the rod of Aharon swallowed up their rods. (Exo 7:13) And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exo 7:14) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “The heart of Pharaoh is hard, he refuses to let the people go. (Exo 7:15) “Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. And take in your hand the rod which was turned into a serpent. (Exo 7:16) “And you shall say to him, ‘יהוה the Elohim of the Heḇrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, so that they serve me in the wilderness,” but see, until now you have not listened!



(Comment: the word interpreted serve is also interpreted worship, the Hebrew H5647 עבד

(Exo 7:17) ‘Thus spoke יהוה, “By this you know that I am יהוה. See, I am striking the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood, (Exo 7:18) and the fish in the river shall die. And the river shall stink, and the Mitsrites shall find it impossible to drink the water of the river.” ’ ” (Exo 7:19) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Mitsrayim, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood. And there shall be blood in all the land of Mitsrayim, both in wooden and in stone containers.’ ” (Exo 7:20) And Mosheh and Aharon did so, as יהוה commanded. And he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. (Exo 7:21) And the fish that were in the river died, and the river stank, and the Mitsrites were unable to drink the water of the river. And the blood was in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 7:22) And the magicians of Mitsrayim did the same with their magic. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exo 7:23) And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and his heart was not moved by this either. (Exo 7:24) And all the Mitsrites dug all around the river for water to drink, for they were unable to drink the water of the river. (Exo 7:25) And seven days were completed after יהוה had struck the river. (Exo 8:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 8:2) “But if you refuse to let them go, see, I am smiting your entire border with frogs. (Exo 8:3) “And the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and shall come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls, (Exo 8:4) and the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.” ’ ” (Exo 8:5) and יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exo 8:6) So Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitsrayim, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 8:7) And the magicians did so with their magic, and brought up frogs on the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 8:8) Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, “Pray to יהוה to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I shall let the people go to slaughter to יהוה.” (Exo 8:9) And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, “Explain yourself to me: When am I to pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, and remain only in the river?” (Exo 8:10) So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, so that you know that there is no one like יהוה our Elohim. (Exo 8:11) “And the frogs shall turn aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people – they shall remain in the river only.” Exo 8:12) And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Pharaoh. And Mosheh cried out to יהוה concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh. (Exo 8:13) And יהוה did according to the word of Mosheh. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields. (Exo 8:14) And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. (Exo 8:15) And when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exo 8:16) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it becomes gnats in all the land of Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exo 8:17) And they did so, and Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the land became gnats in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 8:18) And the magicians did similarly with their magic to bring forth gnats, but they were unable. And there were gnats on man and beast.

(Exo 8:19) The magicians then said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of Elohim!” But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exo 8:20) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 8:21) “Or else, if you do not let my people go, see, I am sending swarms of flies on you and your servants, and on your people and into your houses. And the houses of the Mitsrites shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. (Exo 8:22) “And in that day I shall separate the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, so that you know that I am יהוה in the midst of the land. (Exo 8:23) “And I shall put a distinction between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.” ’ ” (Exo 8:24) And יהוה did so, and thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Mitsrayim, and the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies. (Exo 8:25) Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, “Go, slaughter to your Elohim in the land.” (Exo 8:26) And Mosheh said, “It is not right to do so, for we would be slaughtering the abomination of the Mitsrites to יהוה our Elohim. See, if we slaughter the abomination of the Mitsrites before their eyes, would they not stone us? (Exo 8:27) “Let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and then we shall slaughter to יהוה our Elohim, as He commands us.” (Exo 8:28) And Pharaoh said, “I am letting you go, then you shall slaughter to יהוה your Elohim in the wilderness. Only, do not go very far away! Pray for me.” (Exo 8:29) And Mosheh said, “See, when I leave you I shall pray to יהוה, and tomorrow the swarms of flies shall depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. But do not let Pharaoh again deceive, not to let the people go to slaughter to יהוה.” (Exo 8:30) And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה. (Exo 8:31) And יהוה did according to the word of Mosheh and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained. (Exo 8:32) But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time too, and did not let the people go. (Exo 9:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exo 9:2) “For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them, (Exo 9:3) see, the hand of יהוה is on your livestock in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the cattle, and on the sheep – a very grievous pestilence. (Exo 9:4) “And יהוה shall separate between the livestock of Yisra’ĕl and the livestock of Mitsrayim, and let no matter die of all that belongs to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” ’ ” (Exo 9:5) and יהוה set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow יהוה is going to do this word in the land.” (Exo 9:6) And יהוה did this word on the next day, and all the livestock of Mitsrayim died, but of the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl, not one died. (Exo 9:7) Then Pharaoh sent, and see, not even one of the livestock of the Yisra’ĕlites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. (Exo 9:8) And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “Fill your hands with ashes from a furnace and let Mosheh scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh. (Exo 9:9) “And it shall become fine dust in all the land of Mitsrayim and it shall cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast in all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 9:10) So they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh, and Mosheh scattered them toward the heavens. And they caused boils, breaking out in sores on man and beast. (Exo 9:11) And the magicians were unable to stand before Mosheh because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Mitsrites. (Exo 9:12) But יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said to Mosheh. (Exo 9:13) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let my people go, so that they serve me, (Exo 9:14) for at this time I am sending all My plagues unto your heart, and on your servants and on your people, so that you know that there is no one like Me in all the earth. (Exo 9:15) “Now if I had stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. (Exo 9:16) “And for this reason I have raised you up, in order to show you my power, and in order to declare my Name in all the earth. (Exo 9:17) “You still exalt yourself against my people in that you do not let them go! (Exo 9:18) “See, tomorrow about this time I am causing very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Mitsrayim, from the day of its founding until now. (Exo 9:19) “And now send, bring your livestock to safety, and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every beast which is found in the field and is not brought home, and they shall die.” ’ ”



Finally some of the “worldly” are taking notice of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! YHWH will also introduce Himself again very soon.



(Exo 9:20) Those among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of יהוה made their servants and livestock flee to the houses. (Exo 9:21) But those who did not set their heart on the word of יהוה left their servants and livestock in the field. (Exo 9:22) Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be hail in all the land of Mitsrayim – on man, and on beast, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exo 9:23) Then Mosheh stretched out his rod toward the heavens. And יהוה sent thunder and hail, and fire came down to the earth. And יהוה rained hail on the land of Mitsrayim. (Exo 9:24) Thus there came to be hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Mitsrayim since it became a nation. (Exo 9:25) And the hail smote in all the land of Mitsrayim all that was in the field, both man and beast. And the hail smote every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.



He will protect us also for a times, times and half times (3 ½ years of Great Tribulation) The world will recognize their sin but will they repent?



(Exo 9:26) Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Yisra’ĕl were, there was no hail. (Exo 9:27) Pharaoh then sent and called for Mosheh and for Aharon, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. יהוה is righteous, and my people and I are wrong. (Exo 9:28) “Pray to יהוה, for there has been enough of the thunder and hail of Elohim. And I am letting you go, so that you stay no longer.” (Exo 9:29) And Mosheh said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, let me spread out my hands to יהוה, let the thunder cease and the hail be no more, so that you know that the earth belongs to יהוה. (Exo 9:30) “But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear before יהוה Elohim.” (Exo 9:31) And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud. (Exo 9:32) But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were late crops. (Exo 9:33) And Mosheh went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to יהוה, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth. (Exo 9:34) And Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunder had ceased, yet he sinned again and he hardened his heart, he and his servants. (Exo 9:35) And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go, as יהוה had said through Mosheh.



Restoration of ALL things- Especially His 12 Tribes (Family)



(Eze 28:25) ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “When I have gathered the house of Yisra’ĕl from the peoples among whom they are scattered, I shall be set-apart in them before the eyes of the gentiles. And they shall dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Yaʽaqoḇ. (Eze 28:26) “And they shall dwell safely, and build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell safely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. And they shall know that I am יהוה their Elohim.” ’ ” (Eze 29:1) In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Eze 29:2) “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh the sovereign of Mitsrayim, and prophesy against him, and against Mitsrayim, all of it. (Eze 29:3) “Speak, and you shall say, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am against you, O Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, ‘My River is my own, and I, I have made it for myself.’ (Eze 29:4) “And I shall put hooks in your jaws, and I shall make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales. And I shall bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish in your rivers cling to your scales. (Eze 29:5) “And I shall leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. On the face of the field you shall fall, and you shall not be picked up or gathered. I shall give you as food to the beasts of the field and to the birds of the heavens. (Eze 29:6) “And all the inhabitants of Mitsrayim shall know that I am יהוה, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Yisra’ĕl. (Eze 29:7) “When they grasped you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins shake.” (Eze 29:8) ‘Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am bringing a sword upon you and shall cut off from you man and beast. (Eze 29:9) “And the land of Mitsrayim shall become a desert and a waste. And they shall know that I am יהוה, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’ (Eze 29:10) “Therefore see, I am against you and against your rivers, and shall make the land of Mitsrayim an utter waste and a desert, from Miḡdol to Sewĕnĕh, as far as the border of Kush. (Eze 29:11) “No foot of man shall pass through it, or foot of beast pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited for forty years. (Eze 29:12) “And I shall make the land of Mitsrayim a desert in the midst of the lands that are waste. And among the cities that are ruined, her cities shall be a waste forty years. And I shall scatter the Mitsrites among the nations, and I shall disperse them throughout the lands.” (Eze 29:13) ‘For thus said the Master יהוה, “At the end of forty years I shall gather the Mitsrites from the peoples among whom they were scattered. (Eze 29:14) “And I shall turn back the captivity of Mitsrayim and I shall bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, and there they shall be a lowly reign, (Eze 29:15) being the lowliest of reigns, and never again exalt itself above the nations. And I shall make them few so as not to rule over the nations. (Eze 29:16) “And no longer is it to be the refuge of the house of Yisra’ĕl, bringing to remembrance their crookedness when they turned to follow them. And they shall know that I am the Master יהוה.” ’ ” (Eze 29:17) And it came to be in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Eze 29:18) “Son of man, Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel made his army to serve a great service against Tsor, every head was made bald and every shoulder worn bare. But he and his army received no reward from Tsor, for the service he served against it. (Eze 29:19) “Therefore; the Master YHWH said ‘See, I am giving the land of Mitsrayim to Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel. And he shall take away her wealth, take her spoil, and remove her pillage. And it shall be a reward for his army. (Eze 29:20) ‘I have given him the land of Mitsrayim as a reward for his labor, because they worked for me,’ declares the Master יהוה. (Eze 29:21) ‘In that day (Comment: Hebrew idiom for the Day of YHWH) I shall make the horn of the house of Yisra’ĕl to spring forth while I open your mouth to speak in their midst. And they shall know that I am יהוה.’ ”



We are the clay not the Creator!



(Rom 9:14) What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with Elohim? Let it not be!

(Rom 9:15) For He says to Mosheh, “I shall favor whomever I favor, and I shall have compassion on whomever I have compassion.” (Rom 9:16) So, then, it is not of him who is wishing, nor of him who is running, but of Elohim who shows favor. (Rom 9:17) For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this same purpose I have raised you up, to show my power in you, and that My Name be declared in all the earth.” (Rom 9:18) So, then, He favors who He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes. (Rom 9:19) Then you shall say to me, “Why does He still find fault? Who has resisted His counsel?” (Rom 9:20) But who are you, O man, to talk back to Elohim? Shall that which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” (Rom 9:21) Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for value and another not for value? (Rom 9:22) And if Elohim, desiring to show wrath, and to make His power known, with much patience tolerated the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, (Rom 9:23) and that He might make known the riches of His esteem on vessels of compassion, which He had prepared beforehand for esteem, (Rom 9:24) even whom He called, not only us of the Yehuḏim, but also of the gentiles (Goyim- Ephraim)? (Comment: all twelve tribes are called and being restored!)



Our flesh natures can sure set some traps for us.

(Judges 16:1) And Shimshon went to Azzah and saw a woman there, a whore, and went into her (Judges 16:2) while the Azzathites were saying, “Shimshon has come here!” So they went round and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and kept silent all night, saying, “In the morning, when it is daylight, then we shall kill him.” (Judges 16:3) Now Shimshon lay until midnight, and rose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, and pulled them up with the bar, put them on his shoulders, and took them to the top of the hill that faces Ḥeḇron. (Judges 16:4) And it came to be afterward that he loved a woman in the wadi Sorĕq, whose name was Delilah. (Judges 16:5) And the princes of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and see by what we might overpower him, then we shall bind him to humble him. And let us give you, each one of us, eleven hundred pieces of silver.” (Judges 16:6) And Delilah said to Shimshon, “Please reveal to me where your great strength lies, and by what you might be bound, to humble you.” (Judges 16:7) And Shimshon said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh cords, not yet dried, then I shall be weak, and be like any other man.” (Judges 16:8) The princes of the Philistines then brought her seven fresh cords, not yet dried, and she bound him with them, (Judges 16:9) while those lying in wait stayed with her in the room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Shimshon!” But he broke the cords as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength remained unknown. (Judges 16:10) And Delilah said to Shimshon, “Look, you have mocked me and spoken lies to me. Now, please reveal to me by what you might be bound.” (Judges 16:11) And he said to her, “If they bind me tightly with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall be weak, and be like any other man.” (Judges 16:12) And Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Shimshon!” And those lying in wait were sitting in the inner room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread. (Judges 16:13) So Delilah said to Shimshon, “Until now you have mocked me and spoken lies to me, reveal to me how you might be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.” (Judges 16:14) Then she fastened it with a pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Shimshon!” But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web. (Judges 16:15) Then she said to him, “How do you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not made known to me where your great strength lies.”



When we continually test YHWH and give the enemy YHWH’s plans and secrets- we err greatly! And “false gods” exalt themselves.



(Judges 16:16) And it came to be, when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, so that his being was wearied to death, (Judges 16:17) that he made known to her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to Elohim from my mother’s womb. If I were shaven, then my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.” (Judges 16:18) And Delilah saw that he had made known to her all his heart and she sent and called for the princes of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has made known to me all his heart.” So the princes of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. (Judges 16:19) And she made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head. Thus she began to humble him, and his strength left him. (Judges 16:20) And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Shimshon!” and he awoke from his sleep, and said, “Let me go out as before, at other times, and shake myself loose!” But he did not know that יהוה had turned aside from him. (Judges 16:21) So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Azzah, and bound him with bronze shackles. And he became a grinder in the prison. (Judges 16:22) But the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven. (Judges 16:23) And the princes of the Philistines gathered to offer a great slaughtering to Daḡon their mighty one, and to rejoice. And they said, “Our mighty one has given Shimshon our enemy into our hands!” (Judges 16:24) And the people saw him, and praised their mighty one, for they said, “Our mighty one has given into our hands our enemy, the destroyer of our land, who slew many of us.” (Judges 16:25) And it came to be, when their hearts were glad, that they said, “Call for Shimshon, and let him entertain us.” So they called for Shimshon from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the columns. (Judges 16:26) And Shimshon said to the young man who held him by the hand, “Let me alone and let me feel the columns which support the house, so that I lean on them.” (Judges 16:27) And the house was filled with men and women. And all the princes of the Philistines were there. And about three thousand men and women were on the roof who watched Shimshon entertaining.



Repentant hearts can be used by YHWH to destroy the works of hell



(Judges 16:28) And Shimshon called to יהוה, saying, “O Master יהוה, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, only this time, O Elohim, and let me avenge myself on the Philistines with vengeance for my two eyes!” (Judges 16:29) And Shimshon took hold of the two middle columns which supported the house, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left. (Judges 16:30) And Shimshon said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he bowed himself mightily, and the house fell on the princes and all the people in it. And the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life. (Judges 16:31) And his brothers and all his father’s household came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol in the tomb of his father Manowaḥ. And he had ruled Yisra’ĕl twenty years. (Judges 17:1) And there was a man from the hill country of Ephrayim, whose name was Miḵahu. (Judges 17:2) And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears. Look, the silver is with me, I took it.” And his mother said, “Blessed of יהוה be my son!” (Judges 17:3) And he gave back the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I had truly set apart the silver from my hand to יהוה for my son, to make a carved image and a molded image, and now, I give it back to you.” (Judges 17:4) And he gave the silver back to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a carved image and a molded image. And they were in the house of Miḵahu. (Judges 17:5) Now the man Miḵah had a house of mighty ones, and made a shoulder garment and house idols. And he ordained one of his sons, who became his priest. (Judges 17:6) In those days there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl – everyone did what was right in his own eyes1. Footnote: 1See also 21:25, and Deut. 12:8. (Judges 17:7) And there was a young man from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, of the clan of Yehuḏah. And he was a Lĕwite, and he was sojourning there. (Judges 17:8) And the man went out of the city of Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah to sojourn wherever he could find a place. And he came to the mountains of Ephrayim, to the house of Miḵah, as he journeyed. (Judges 17:9) And Miḵah said to him, “Where do you come from?” And he said to him, “I am a Lĕwite from Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, and I am on my way to find a place to sojourn.” (Judges 17:10) And Miḵah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I give you ten pieces of silver per year, and a suit of garments, and your food.” And the Lĕwite went in. (Judges 17:11) so the Lĕwite agreed to dwell with the man. And the young man became like one of his sons to him. (Judges 17:12) Then Miḵah ordained the Lĕwite, and the young man became his priest, and he was in the house of Miḵah. (Judges 17:13) And Miḵah said, “Now I know that יהוה does well to me, since I have a Lĕwite as priest!” (Judges 18:1) In those days there was no sovereign in Yisra’ĕl. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in, for until that day all their inheritance among the tribes of Yisra’ĕl had not yet fallen to them. (Judges 18:2) And the children of Dan sent five men of their clan, brave men from Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol, to spy out the land and search it. And they said to them, “Go, search the land,” so they went to the mountains of Ephrayim, to the house of Miḵah, and spent the night there. (Judges 18:3) When they were near the house of Miḵah, they recognised the voice of the young Lĕwite, and turned aside and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place, and what do you have here?” (Judges 18:4) And he said to them, “Miḵah did such and such for me. And he hired me, and I have become his priest.” (Judges 18:5) And they said to him, “Please inquire of Elohim, and we shall know whether the journey on which we are going is prosperous.” (Judges 18:6) And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your journey on which you go is before יהוה.” (Judges 18:7) Then the five men left and came to Layish, and saw the people who were in their midst, how they dwelt safely, according to the ruling of the Tsiḏonians, at rest and unsuspecting. And no one possessing authority in the land was reproaching for any matter. And they were far from the Tsiḏonians, and they had no word with anyone. (Judges 18:8) And the spies came back to their brothers at Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol, and their brothers said to them, “What do you say?” (Judges 18:9) And they said, “Arise, and let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. And you sit still! Do not hesitate to go to enter in to possess the land. (Judges 18:10) “When you go, you are to come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is spacious. For Elohim has given it into your hands, a place in which there is no lack of any matter which is on the earth.” (Judges 18:11) And six hundred men of the clan of the Danites went from there, from Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol, armed for battle. (Judges 18:12) And they went up and encamped in Qiryath Yeʽarim in Yehuḏah. Therefore they call that place Maḥanĕh Ḏan to this day. See, it is west of Qiryath Yeʽarim. (Judges 18:13) And they passed over from there to the mountains of Ephrayim, and came to the house of Miḵah. (Judges 18:14) And the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Layish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there are in these houses a shoulder garment, and house idols, and a carved image, and a molded image? And now, you know what to do.” (Judges 18:15) And they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Lĕwite man, the house of Miḵah, and greeted him. (Judges 18:16) And the six hundred men, armed for battle, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate. (Judges 18:17) And the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entering there, they took the carved image, and the shoulder garment, and the house idols, and the molded image, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men who were armed for battle. (Judges 18:18) And these went into Miḵah’s house and took the idol, and the shoulder garment, and the house idols, and the molded image. Then the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” (Judges 18:19) And they said to him, “Be silent, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us, and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a clan in Yisra’ĕl?” (Judges 18:20) And the heart of the priest was glad. And he took the shoulder garment, and the house idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people. (Judges 18:21) And they turned and went, and put the little ones, and the livestock, and the valuables in front of them. (Judges 18:22) They had gone some distance from the house of Miḵah, when the men who were in the houses near Miḵah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan, (Judges 18:23) and called out to the children of Dan. So they turned around and said to Miḵah, “What is the matter, that you have gathered such a company?” (Judges 18:24) And he said, “You have taken away my mighty ones which I made, and the priest, and you are leaving. Now what more do I have? What is this you say to me, ‘What is the matter?’ ” (Judges 18:25) And the children of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest men, bitter of being, fall upon you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household!” (Judges 18:26) And the children of Dan went their way. And when Miḵah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house. (Judges 18:27) Then they took what Miḵah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Layish, to a people who were at rest and unsuspecting, and smote them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire. (Judges 18:28) And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Tsiḏon, and they had no word with anyone. And it was in the valley that belongs to Bĕyth Reḥoḇ. And they rebuilt the city and dwelt there. (Judges 18:29) And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Yisra’ĕl. But previously the name of the city was Layish. (Judges 18:30) And the children of Dan set up for themselves the carved image. And Yehonathan son of Gĕreshom, son of Menashsheh, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day the land was taken into exile. (Judges 18:31) And they set up for themselves the carved image of Miḵah, which he had made, all the days that the house of Elohim was in Shiloh.



May YHWH bless, direct, provide, and protect you and your loved ones as we see the DAY approaching. Since the day starts at EREV (evening) it will get darker and darker, but you will shine brighter and brighter and be a light to a wicked generation as Yahshua draws all men to Himself! Thanks for all your prayers and intercession. I had so many responses (prayer request) from you dear loved ones (family) that I literally had tears in my eyes as I read your heartfelt responses. YHWH moved mightily on your behalf as you had compassion on those I had mentioned that had a somewhat glazed look on their faces while hearing such a tough love message of REPENT; and come out of her my people. It appears certain that we are now recognizing: (Jer 16:19) O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles (Ephraim-scattered tribes) 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. Thanks for caring for the things of YHWH and your scattered family that He is restoring! Thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU! You are the greatest family of prayer warriors on the planet!

Shalom to your home Loved One,
