WOW - Thanks for your prayers!

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,
