Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
Most of you know Michael Rood is a Hebraic Roots of the “Christian” Faith teacher extraordinaire. Many of you also know he is among the “loved ones” of Torah keepers I call my dear friend. Since I have known Michael, travelled with him, and have questioned him thoroughly about his understandings of Scripture and his insights that have come from following Torah 30 plus years- with a Holy Spirit filled passion few of us approach; you should not be surprised that when he makes a calculation or statement concerning the Feast of Trumpets 2010- I LISTEN AND PRAY! (Not vastly different from the old commercial about financial expert- EF Glutton and yes it is a play on words.) Recently Michael announced his findings via email to many of us and it is awakening indeed! Many of you know the phrase “No man knows the day or hour” that Yahshua (Jesus) spoke telling of the times of the end is a Hebrew idiom for the Feast of Trumpets. WHY? It is the only Feast that cannot be foretold as it is on the first sliver of the seventh New Moon; whereas the rest of the Feast Days are later on in any given month, giving you time to foretell them. Most of you also know that YHWH runs His Universes based on His astronomical and agricultural (Month of the Abiv) witness calendar as He alone can make the Sun and moon standstill or go forwards or backwards and therefore Pope Gregory nor anyone else can interfere with His calendar and His scheduled Moedim (Feasts or Appointments He has with His people). Since the moon circles the planet earth every 29.54 days we will always have a 29 day month or a 30 day month and never a 28 or 31 day month as Pope Gregory determined. What does this mean? Simply this; if you cannot see the New Moon sliver on the 29th it is automatically considered the New Moon and beginning of any month (Biblically) on the 30th day from the last sighting of the New Moon. What if you could use NASA calculations of illumination of the New Moon and see that it would literally be physically impossible to see the New Moon due to lack of illumination pre calculated by NASA until September 2010 which would be the month of the seventh New Moon Biblically? (Feast of Trumpets) Would YHWH warn us that precisely?
Many of you also know that after a 40 day fast in 2008 I was told (among other things) “Rockets fly on the Feast of Trumpets 2010”! Due to Michael’s calculations and his astute understanding of the calendar YHWH uses to run His Creation which He alone has placed the greater Light (Sun) and lesser light (Moon) and the planets and stars in their courses for days, seasons, and years, something of Biblical proportions Michael has announced! Remember YHWH confirmed to me after my fast in 2008 that the Feast of Trumpets 2010 would start the last seven years prior to His arrival at the Feast of Trumpets 2017!

What is this Biblical proportions announcement of Michael’s that starts the awakening Trumpet blast of Joel’s (Bible Book of Joel) announcements and warnings?
What is Michael’s profound calculation announcement?
The Feast of Trumpets 2010 just happens to fall on September 11, 2010! 9-11-2010 What are the odds of that? Perhaps YHWH loves us and really expects us understand.
See- we are supposed to understand the Times and seasons of the Lord (Feasts-Moedim-Appointments) (1Th 5:1) Now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to. (1Th 5:2) For you know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night. (1Th 5:3) For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. (1Th 5:4) But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. (1Th 5:5) For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. (1Th 5:6) So, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober. (1Th 5:7) For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. (1Th 5:8) But we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of belief and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance. (1Th 5:9) Because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע Messiah, (1Th 5:10) who died for us, so that we, whether awake or asleep, should live together with Him.
Last week we discussed the expectations of our God about His people hearing and obeying Him! It seems He actually expects us to listen and do as He says! Come out of her my people! (Or partake in her plagues) Who is bringing this apparent Judgment on USA and the world anyway? Please remember, Fear only YHWH (Respect and obey) if you do that, do not fear man who can only kill the body. Many of us refuse to hear so it is not possible for us to obey. (Heb 10:26) For if we sin (Transgress the Torah-law; according to 1 John) purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins,1 Footnote: 1See also 6:6, Heb. 9:7, Num. 15:15-28. (Heb 10:27) but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. (Heb 10:28) Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. (Heb 10:29) How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor?
Loved One- we need to take stock of what is happening around the world. Freedom is only given and retained by those who remain dependent (Obedient) on and to YHWH Almighty. The watchmen seem to be sounding their trumpets around the world to wake up the Body of Messiah, but much of His body is sound asleep and despises the watchmen; so our question should be, are we also asleep? Have our erroneous preconceived perceptions and extra-biblical traditions taught by much of this last day’s Laodicean church system around the world- left us unaware of YHWH’s planned judgment on a disobedient people? Remember- YHWH judges His “church” first who claim to love Him but worship Him in VAIN; teaching as His doctrines the commandments of men (extra-biblical traditions). He warned us; “DO NOT learn the ways of the heathens” and say we are worshipping (Obeying) Him! (Amos 3:6) If a Trumpet (ram’s horn) is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If there is calamity in a city, shall not יהוה have done it? (Amos 3:7) For the Master יהוה (Yahshua) does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:8) A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה has spoken! Who would not prophesy? (Luke 17:26) “And as it came to be in the days of Noaḥ, so also shall it be in the days of the (coming of) Son of Aḏam: (Yahshua) (Luke 17:27) “They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:28) “And likewise, as it came to be in the days of Lot: They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, (Luke 17:29) but on the day Lot went out of Seḏom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed all.
There is judgment at the door- for even the righteous who disobey YHWH! Let’s look at our example given us as judgment even falls on Miriam, Aaron and Moses for their rebellions and none of them got to enter the Promised Land: (Numbers 26:9) And the sons of Eliyaḇ: Nemu’ĕl, and Dathan, and Aḇiram. This Dathan and Aḇiram, were the called ones of the congregation, who contended against Mosheh and against Aharon in the company of Qoraḥ, when they contended against יהוה, (Numbers 26:10) and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Qoraḥ when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men. And they became a sign, (Judgment on a rebellious people)
Are we also rebelling with our tongues??
(Numbers 27:12) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go up into this Mount Aḇarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 27:13) “And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as Aharon your brother was gathered, (Numbers 27:14) because you rebelled against my mouth in the Wilderness of Tsin, in the strife of the congregation, to set me apart at the waters before their eyes.” These were the waters of Meriḇah, at Qaḏĕsh in the Wilderness of Tsin. (Numbers 27:15) And Mosheh spoke to יהוה, saying, (Numbers 27:16) “Let יהוה, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, (Numbers 27:17) who goes out before them and comes in before them, who leads them out and brings them in, so that the congregation of יהוה be not like sheep without a shepherd.” (Numbers 27:18) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take Yehoshua son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit. And you shall lay your hand on him, (Numbers 27:19) and shall set him before Elʽazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him charge before their eyes, (Numbers 27:20) and shall put some of your esteem upon him, so that all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl obey him. (Numbers 27:21) “And he is to stand before Elʽazar the priest, who shall inquire before יהוה for him by the right-ruling of the Urim. At his word they go out, and at his word they come in, both he and all the children of Yisra’ĕl with him, all the congregation.” (Numbers 27:22) And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set him before Elʽazar the priest and before the entire congregation, (Numbers 27:23) and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as יהוה commanded by the hand of Mosheh. (Numbers 26:65) יהוה had said of them, “They shall certainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and Yehoshua son of Nun. (The two spies with a good report and confession of what YHWH said- NOT the facts reporting were all that entered the Promises!) With those strong reminders of what we are to report in the storm; let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah Study and Scriptures!
This Week’s Torah Scriptures: Mattot Tribes

(Num 33:37) And they departed from Qaḏĕsh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Eḏom.
Aaron goes home
(Num 33:38) Then Aharon the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of יהוה, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on the first day of the fifth month. (Num 33:39) Now Aharon was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor. (Num 33:40) And the sovereign of Araḏ, the Kenaʽanite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Kenaʽan, heard of the coming of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Num 33:41) So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Tsalmonah. (Num 33:42) And they departed from Tsalmonah and camped at Punon. (Num 33:43) And they departed from Punon and camped at Oḇoth. (Num 33:44) And they departed from Oḇoth and camped at Iyĕ Ha-Aḇarim, at the border of Mo’aḇ. (Num 33:45) And they departed from Iyim and camped at Diḇon Gaḏ.

(Num 33:48) And they departed from the mountains of Aḇarim and camped in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo. (Num 33:49) And they camped by the Yardĕn, from Bĕyth Yeshimoth as far as the Aḇĕl Shittim in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ.
Don’t learn they ways of the heathen- destroy their images!
(Num 33:50) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying, (Num 33:51) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you have passed over the Yardĕn into the land of Kenaʽan, (Num 33:52) then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their engraved stones, and shall destroy all their molded images, and lay waste all their high places, (Num 33:53) and you shall possess the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. (Num 33:54) ‘And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your clans. To the larger you give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that is his. You inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. (Num 33:55) ‘And if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. (Num 33:56) ‘And it shall be that I do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
Boundaries of Israel according to YHWH!
(Num 34:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Num 34:2) “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Kenaʽan, this is the land which falls to you as an inheritance, the land of Kenaʽan to its boundaries: (Num 34:3) ‘Then your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Tsin along the border of Eḏom, and your southern border shall be eastward from the end of the Salt Sea. (Num 34:4) ‘Then your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Aqrabbim, continue to Tsin, and be on the south of Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, and it shall go on to Ḥatsar Addar, and continue to Atsmon. (Num 34:5) ‘And the border shall turn from Atsmon to the wadi of Mitsrayim, and it shall end at the Sea. (Num 34:6) ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this is your western border. (Num 34:7) ‘And this is your northern border: From the Great Sea you mark out your borderline to Mount Hor, (Num 34:8) from Mount Hor you mark out your border to the entrance of Ḥamath, and the edge of the border shall be toward Tseḏaḏ, (Num 34:9) and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Ḥatsar Ěnan. This is your northern border. (Num 34:10) ‘And you shall mark out your eastern border from Ḥatsar Ěnan to Shepham, (Num 34:11) and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riḇlah on the east side of Ayin, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth. (Num 34:12) ‘And the border shall go down along the Yardĕn, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This is your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ” (Num 34:13) And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the land which you inherit by lot, which יהוה has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. (Num 34:14) “For the tribe of the children of Re’uḇĕn according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gaḏ according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance. And the half-tribe of Menashsheh has received its inheritance. (Num 34:15) “The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo eastward, toward the sunrise.”
Where goes the blessing?
(Num 34:16) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Num 34:17) “These are the names of the men who divide the land among you as an inheritance: Elʽazar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun (Good Report). (Num 34:18) “And take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance. (Num 34:19) “And these are the names of the men. From the tribe of Yehuḏah: Kalĕḇ (Good Report) son of Yephunneh. (Num 34:20) “And from the tribe of the children of Shimʽon: Shemu’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ. (Num 34:21) “From the tribe of Binyamin: Eliḏaḏ son of Kislon. (Num 34:22) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan: Buqqi son of Yoḡli. (Num 34:23) “From the sons of Yosĕph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Menashsheh, Ḥanni’ĕl son of Ěphoḏ. (Num 34:24) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephrayim: Qemu’ĕl son of Shiphtan. (Num 34:25) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Zeḇulun: Elitsaphan son of Parnaḵ. (Num 34:26) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Yissasḵar: Palti’ĕl son of Azzan. (Num 34:27) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ashĕr: Aḥihuḏ son of Shelomi. (Num 34:28) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali: Peḏah’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.” (Num 34:29) These are the ones יהוה commanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl in the land of Kenaʽan. (Num 35:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying, (Num 35:2) “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl that they shall give the Lĕwites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possession. Also give the Lĕwites open land around the cities. (Num 35:3) “And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their open land for their cattle, and for their herds, and for all their livestock. (Num 35:4) “And the open land of the cities which you give the Lĕwites is from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits all around. (Num 35:5) “And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. And the city is in the middle. This is to them the open land for the cities. (Num 35:6) “And the cities which you give to the Lĕwites are the six cities of refuge, which you give to him who killed someone to flee to, and to these you add forty-two cities. (Num 35:7) “All the cities which you give to the Lĕwites are forty-eight, these with their open land. (Num 35:8) “And the cities which you give are from the possession of the children of Yisra’ĕl. From the larger tribe you give many, from the smaller you give few, each one gives some of its cities to the Lĕwites; in proportion to the inheritance that each inherits.” (Num 35:9) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Num 35:10) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, when you pass over the Yardĕn into the land of Kenaʽan, (Num 35:11) then you shall choose cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the one who accidentally killed someone shall flee there. (Num 35:12) ‘And they shall be cities of refuge for you from the revenger, and the one who killed someone is not to die until he stands before the congregation in right-ruling. (Num 35:13) ‘And of the cities which you give, six are to be cities of refuge.
Cities of Refuge (These are forthcoming for us as He protects us 1290 days in Wilderness)
(Num 35:14) ‘Give three cities beyond the Yardĕn, and give three cities in the land of Kenaʽan, as cities of refuge. (Num 35:15) ‘These six cities+ are for refuge for the children of Yisra’ĕl and for the sojourner and for the settler in their midst; for anyone who accidentally kills someone that they may flee there. (Num 35:16) ‘But if he has smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Num 35:17) ‘And if he has smitten him with a stone in the hand, by which one could die, and he does die, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Num 35:18) ‘Or if he has smitten him with a wooden instrument that could kill, and he does die, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Num 35:19) ‘The revenger of blood himself puts the murderer to death. When he meets him, he puts him to death. (Num 35:20) ‘And if he thrusts him through in hatred, or throws an object at him while lying in wait, so that he dies, (Num 35:21) or in enmity he smites him with his hand so that he dies, the one who smote him shall certainly be put to death, for he is a murderer. The revenger of blood puts the murderer to death when he meets him. (Num 35:22) ‘But if he pushes him suddenly without enmity, or throws an object at him without lying in wait, (Num 35:23) or uses a stone, by which a man could die, throwing it at him without seeing him, so that he dies, while he was not his enemy or seeking his harm, (Num 35:24) then the congregation shall judge between him who killed someone and the revenger of blood, according to these right-rulings. (Num 35:25) ‘And the congregation shall rescue the one who killed someone from the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall return him to the city of refuge where he had fled, and he shall remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the set-apart oil. (Num 35:26) ‘But if the one who killed someone at any time goes outside the limits of the city of refuge where he fled, (Num 35:27) and the revenger of blood finds him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the revenger of blood kills him who killed someone, he is not guilty of blood, (Num 35:28) because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest he who killed someone is to return to the land of his possession. (Num 35:29) ‘And these shall be for a law of right-ruling to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Num 35:30) ‘Whoever kills someone has to be put to death as a murderer by the mouth of witnesses, but only one witness does not bear witness against someone to die.
YHWH dwelling among us requires blood free (undefiled) land
(Num 35:31) ‘And take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death. (Num 35:32) ‘And take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge to return to dwell in the land before the death of the priest. (Num 35:33) ‘And do not profane the land where you are, for blood profanes the land, and the land is not pardoned for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. (Num 35:34) ‘And do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell, for I, יהוה, am dwelling in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl.’ ” (Num 36:1) And the heads of the fathers of the clans of the children of Gilʽaḏ, son of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, of the clans of the sons of Yosĕph, came near and spoke before Mosheh and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers of the children of Yisra’ĕl, (Num 36:2) and said, “יהוה commanded my master to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and my master was commanded by יהוה to give the inheritance of our brother Tselophḥaḏ to his daughters. (Num 36:3) “Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and taken from the lot of our inheritance. (Num 36:4) “And if the Jubilee of the children of Yisra’ĕl takes place, then their inheritance shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and their inheritance taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.” (Num 36:5) And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl according to the word of יהוה, saying, “What the tribe of the sons of Yosĕph speaks is right. (Num 36:6) “This is the word which יהוה has commanded, for the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, saying, ‘Let them marry who is good in their eyes, but let them marry only within the clan of their father’s tribe.’ (Num 36:7) “And the inheritance of the children of Yisra’ĕl is not to change hands from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. (Num 36:8) “And every daughter possessing an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to be the wife of one of the clan of her father’s tribe, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl possess each the inheritance of his fathers. (Num 36:9) “Thus the inheritance is not to change hands from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling to its own inheritance.” (Num 36:10) As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ. (Num 36:11) For Maḥlah, Tirtsah, and Ḥoḡlah, and Milkah, and Noʽah, the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, were married to the sons of their father’s brothers. (Num 36:12) And they were married into the clans of the children of Menashsheh, the son of Yosĕph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father’s clan. (Num 36:13) These are the commands and the right-rulings which יהוה commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl by the hand of Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
Repent and Return
(Jer 4:1) “If you do return, O Yisra’ĕl,” declares יהוה, “return to me. And if you remove your abominations from my presence, and cease straying, (Jer 4:2) and shall swear, ‘As יהוה lives,’ in truth, in right-ruling, and in righteousness – then nations shall bless themselves in Him, and they shall boast in Him!”
We resist the devil by submitting to YHWH’s Word – Yahshua and allowing Him to engraft (change) us! There is only one lawgiver (Torah giver) and one judge- and it is NOT us!
(Jas 4:1) Where do fighting’s and strivings come from among you? Do they not come from your pleasures that battle in your members? (Jas 4:2) You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are unable to obtain. You strive and fight and you do not possess, because you do not ask. (Jas 4:3) You ask and do not receive, because you ask evilly, in order to spend it on your pleasures. (Jas 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim?1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1Mt. 13:22, Lk. 4:5-6, Lk. 14:33, Rom. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (Jas 4:5) Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (Jas 4:6) But He gives greater favor. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.” (Jas 4:7) So then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1Or adversary. (Jas 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (Jas 4:9) Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (Jas 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (Jas 4:11) Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (Jas 4:12) There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
(1Ki 13:1) And see, a man of Elohim went from Yehuḏah to Bĕyth Ěl by the word of יהוה, while Yaroḇʽam was standing by the altar to burn incense. (1Ki 13:2) And he cried out against the altar by the word of יהוה, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus said יהוה, ‘See, a son is to be born to the house of Dawiḏ, Yoshiyahu is his name. And on you he shall offer the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones be burned on you.’ ” (1Ki 13:3) and he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which יהוה has spoken: See, the altar is split apart, and the ashes on it is poured out.” (1Ki 13:4) And it came to be when Sovereign Yaroḇʽam heard the saying of the man of Elohim, who cried out against the altar in Bĕyth Ěl, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, dried up, so that he was unable to bring it back to him. (1Ki 13:5) And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of Elohim had given by the word of יהוה. (1Ki 13:6) And the sovereign answered and said to the man of Elohim, “Please appease the face of יהוה your Elohim, and pray for me, that my hand might be restored to me.” And the man of Elohim appeased the face of יהוה, and the sovereign’s hand was restored to him, and became as it was before. (1Ki 13:7) The sovereign then said to the man of Elohim, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I give you a gift.” (1Ki 13:8) But the man of Elohim said to the sovereign, “If you were to give me half your house, I do not go in with you, nor do I eat bread nor drink water in this place. (1Ki 13:9) “For so He commanded me by the word of יהוה, saying, ‘Do not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.’ ” (1Ki 13:10) So he went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bĕyth Ěl. (1Ki 13:11) And a certain old prophet was dwelling in Bĕyth Ěl, and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of Elohim had done that day in Bĕyth Ěl, the words which he had spoken to the sovereign. (1Ki 13:12) And their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” And his sons had seen which way the man of Elohim went who came from Yehuḏah. (1Ki 13:13) And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And they saddled the donkey for him, and he rode on it, (1Ki 13:14) and went after the man of Elohim, and found him sitting under a terebinth. And he said to him, “Are you the man of Elohim who came from Yehuḏah?” And he said, “I am.” (1Ki 13:15) And he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.” (1Ki 13:16) And he said, “I am not able to return with you or to go in with you, nor am I to eat bread or drink water with you in this place. (1Ki 13:17) “For word came to me by the word of יהוה, ‘Do not eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by going the way you came.’ ” (1Ki 13:18) And he said to him, “I too am a prophet like you, and a messenger spoke to me by the word of יהוה, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, and let him eat bread and drink water.’ ” But he lied to him. (1Ki 13:19) So he turned back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. (1Ki 13:20) And it came to be, as they sat at the table, that the word of יהוה came to the prophet who had brought him back, (1Ki 13:21) and he cried out to the man of Elohim who came from Yehuḏah, saying, “Thus said יהוה, ‘Because you have rebelled against the mouth of יהוה, and have not guarded the command which יהוה your Elohim commanded you, (1Ki 13:22) and turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place of which He said to you, “Do not eat bread nor drink water,” your body shall not enter the burying-place of your fathers.’ ” (1Ki 13:23) And it came to be, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Obey YHWH or die- (Don’t listen to other “prophets” as some are for profit!)
(1Ki 13:24) And he went, and a lion met him on the way and killed him. And his body was thrown on the way. And the donkey was standing by it, and the lion was standing by the body. (1Ki 13:25) And see, men were passing by and saw the body thrown on the way, while the lion was standing by the body. And they went and reported it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. (1Ki 13:26) And the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, and said, “It is the man of Elohim who rebelled against the mouth of יהוה, and יהוה gave him to the lion, and it tore him apart and killed him, according to the word of יהוה which He spoke to him.” (1Ki 13:27) And he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And they saddled it. (1Ki 13:28) So he went and found his body thrown on the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey. (1Ki 13:29) And the prophet lifted up the body of the man of Elohim, and placed it on the donkey, and brought it back. And the old prophet came to the city to mourn, and to bury him, (1Ki 13:30) and he placed his body in his own tomb. And they lamented over him, saying, “Oh, my brother!” (1Ki 13:31) And it came to be, after he had buried him that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, then you shall bury me in the tomb where the man of Elohim is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones. (1Ki 13:32) “For the word which he cried out, by the word of יהוה, against the altar in Bĕyth Ěl, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Shomeron, shall certainly come to be.” (1Ki 13:33) After this event Yaroḇʽam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from all sorts of people for the high places. Whoever wished, he ordained, to become one of the priests of the high places. (1Ki 13:34) And this matter was the sin of the house of Yaroḇʽam, even to cut it off and destroy it from the face of the earth.
Disobey YHWH and stay sick.
(1Ki 14:1) At that time Aḇiyah the son of Yaroḇʽam became sick. (1Ki 14:2) And Yaroḇʽam said to his wife, “Please arise, and disguise you, so they do not know that you are the wife of Yaroḇʽam, and go to Shiloh. See, Aḥiyah the prophet is there, who spoke to me of becoming sovereign over this people. (1Ki 14:3) “And you shall take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. Let him declare to you what becomes of the child.” (1Ki 14:4) And Yaroḇʽam’s wife did so, and rose up and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Aḥiyah. But Aḥiyahu was unable to see, for his eyes had set because of his age. (1Ki 14:5) And יהוה had said to Aḥiyahu, “See, the wife of Yaroḇʽam is coming to ask you a word about her son, for he is sick. Speak to her thus and thus. For it shall be when she comes in, that she makes herself strange.” (1Ki 14:6) And it came to be, when Aḥiyahu heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Yaroḇʽam. Why are you making yourself strange? And I have been sent to you with a hard word. (1Ki 14:7) Go, say to Yaroḇʽam, ‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you ruler over my people Yisra’ĕl, (1Ki 14:8) and tore the reign away from the house of Dawiḏ, and gave it to you – and you have not been as my servant Dawiḏ, who guarded my commands and who followed me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes, (1Ki 14:9) but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other mighty ones and molded images to provoke me, and have cast me behind your back – (1Ki 14:10) therefore, see, I am bringing evil to the house of Yaroḇʽam, and shall cut off from Yaroḇʽam every male in Yisra’ĕl, whether shut up or left at large, and sweep away the remnant of the house of Yaroḇʽam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone. (1Ki 14:11) Those of Yaroḇʽam who die in the city the dogs do eat, and those who die in the field the birds of the heavens do eat, for יהוה has spoken it!” ’ (1Ki 14:12) “And you, arise, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. (1Ki 14:13) “And all Yisra’ĕl shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Yaroḇʽam who shall come to the grave, because in him there is found a good report toward יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, in the house of Yaroḇʽam.
Don’t worship the Asherim (Easter) Fertility goddess!
(1Ki 14:14) “And יהוה shall raise up for Himself a sovereign over Yisra’ĕl who cuts off the house of Yaroḇʽam, this day, and even now! (1Ki 14:15) “And יהוה shall smite Yisra’ĕl, as a reed is shaken in the water, and shall pluck Yisra’ĕl from this good soil which He gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the River, because they made their Ashĕrim, provoking יהוה, (1Ki 14:16) and He shall give Yisra’ĕl up, because of the sins of Yaroḇʽam, who sinned and who made Yisra’ĕl sin.” (1Ki 14:17) And the wife of Yaroḇʽam rose up and went, and came to Tirtsah. When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. (1Ki 14:18) And they buried him, and all Yisra’ĕl lamented for him, according to the word of יהוה which He spoke through His servant Aḥiyahu the prophet. (1Ki 14:19) And the rest of the acts of Yaroḇʽam, how he fought and how he reigned, see, they are written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (1Ki 14:20) And the days that Yaroḇʽam reigned was twenty-two years. So he slept with his fathers, and Naḏaḇ his son reigned in his place.
Easters are still considered evil in His eyes!
(1Ki 14:21) Meanwhile Reḥaḇʽam son of Shelomoh reigned in Yehuḏah. Reḥaḇʽam was forty-one years old when he became sovereign, and he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the city which יהוה had chosen out of all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, to put His Name there. And his mother’s name was Naʽamah the Ammonitess. (1Ki 14:22) And Yehuḏah did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. (1Ki 14:23) They also built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Ashĕrim on every high hill and under every green tree. (1Ki 14:24) And there were also cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the gentiles which יהוה dispossessed before the children of Yisra’ĕl. (1Ki 14:25) And it came to be, in the fifth year of Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam, that Shishaq sovereign of Mitsrayim came up against Yerushalayim. (1Ki 14:26) And he took away the treasures of the House of יהוה and the treasures of the sovereign’s house, he even took away all. And he took away all the shields of gold which Shelomoh had made. (1Ki 14:27) And Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam made shields of bronze to replace them, and entrusted them into the hands of the chiefs of the guard, who guarded the entrance of the sovereign’s house. (1Ki 14:28) And it came to be, whenever the sovereign went into the House of יהוה, the guards would bring them, and then take them back into the guardroom. (1Ki 14:29) And the rest of the acts of Reḥaḇʽam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? (1Ki 14:30) And there was fighting between Reḥaḇʽam and Yaroḇʽam all the days. (1Ki 14:31) So Reḥaḇʽam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ. And the name of his mother was Naʽamah the Ammonitess. And Aḇiyam his son reigned in his place.
Evil (Disobedient) Rulers bring strife, wars and judgments!
(1Ki 15:1) And in the eighteenth year of Sovereign Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, Aḇiyam became sovereign over Yehuḏah. (1Ki 15:2) He reigned three years in Yerushalayim, and his mother’s name was Maʽaḵah the granddaughter of Aḇishalom. (1Ki 15:3) And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him, and his heart was not perfect to יהוה his Elohim, as was the heart of his father Dawiḏ. (1Ki 15:4) But for Dawiḏ’s sake יהוה his Elohim gave him a lamp in Yerushalayim, to raise up his son after him and by establishing Yerushalayim, (1Ki 15:5) for Dawiḏ did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriyah the Ḥittite. (1Ki 15:6) And there was fighting between Reḥaḇʽam and Yaroḇʽam all the days of his life. (1Ki 15:7) And the rest of the acts of Aḇiyam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? And there was fighting between Aḇiyam and Yaroḇʽam. (1Ki 15:8) So Aḇiyam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of Dawiḏ. And Asa his son reigned in his place. (1Ki 15:9) And in the twentieth year of Yaroḇʽam sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Asa became sovereign over Yehuḏah. (1Ki 15:10) And he reigned forty-one years in Yerushalayim, and his grandmother’s name was Maʽaḵah the granddaughter of Aḇishalom. (1Ki 15:11) And Asa did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, as his father Dawiḏ had done, (1Ki 15:12) and put away the cult prostitutes from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. (1Ki 15:13) And he also removed Maʽaḵah his grandmother from being sovereigness mother, because she had made an abominable image for Ashĕrah. And Asa cut down her abominable image and burned it by the wadi Qiḏron. (1Ki 15:14) But the high places were not removed. However, Asa’s heart was perfect with יהוה all his days. (1Ki 15:15) And he brought into the House of יהוה the set-apart items of his father, and his own set-apart items: silver and gold and utensils. (1Ki 15:16) And there was fighting between Asa and Baʽasha sovereign of Yisra’ĕl all their days. (1Ki 15:17) And Baʽasha sovereign of Yisra’ĕl came up against Yehuḏah, and built Ramah, to keep anyone from going out or coming in to Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah. (1Ki 15:18) And Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the House of יהוה and the treasuries of the sovereign’s house, and gave them into the hand of his servants. And Sovereign Asa sent them to Ben-Haḏaḏ son of Taḇrimmon, son of Ḥezyon, sovereign of Aram, who dwelt in Damascus, saying, (1Ki 15:19) “Let there be a covenant between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come, break your covenant with Baʽasha sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, so that he withdraws from me.” (1Ki 15:20) And Ben-Haḏaḏ listened to Sovereign Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Yisra’ĕl, and smote Iyon, and Dan, and Aḇĕl Bĕyth Maʽaḵah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. (1Ki 15:21) And it came to be, when Baʽasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirtsah. (1Ki 15:22) Then Sovereign Asa summoned all Yehuḏah – none was exempted – and they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baʽasha had used for building. And with them Sovereign Asa built Geḇa of Binyamin, and Mitspah. (1Ki 15:23) And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. (1Ki 15:24) So Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ his father. And Yehoshaphat his son reigned in his place. (1Ki 15:25) And Naḏaḇ son of Yaroḇʽam became sovereign over Yisra’ĕl in the second year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, and he reigned over Yisra’ĕl two years. (1Ki 15:26) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Yisra’ĕl sin.(1Ki 15:27) Then Baʽasha son of Aḥiyah, of the house of Yissasḵar, conspired against him. And Baʽasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Naḏaḇ and all Yisra’ĕl had laid siege to Gibbethon. (1Ki 15:28) And Baʽasha killed him in the third year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, and reigned in his place. (1Ki 15:29) And it came to be, when he became sovereign, that he smote all the house of Yaroḇʽam. He did not leave to Yaroḇʽam anyone breathing, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of יהוה which He had spoken by His servant Aḥiyah the Shilonite, (1Ki 15:30) because of the sins of Yaroḇʽam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Yisra’ĕl sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (1Ki 15:31) And the rest of the acts of Naḏaḇ, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (1Ki 15:32) And there was fighting between Asa and Baʽasha sovereign of Yisra’ĕl all their days. (1Ki 15:33) In the third year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, Baʽasha son of Aḥiyah became sovereign over all Yisra’ĕl in Tirtsah, and reigned twenty-four years. (1Ki 15:34) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and walked in the way of Yaroḇʽam, and in his sin by which he had made Yisra’ĕl sin.
