Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
Blessings and Curses approach! Last week we determined that we are at war! Do you remember we are at war, Loved One? As a never ending reminder, many of us are being abruptly awakened to that reality. We have an enemy who has organized forces waging war against us. Sometimes he uses those whom we hold dear (Friends and relatives) to inflict pain upon us. Other times its powers and principalities that are assigned to stop our testimony, our income, our relationships, even our lives. This is to be expected since using someone you don’t know or care for cannot inflict much pain. These are why walking out the Torah (Instructions/Law) of YHWH are of utmost importance. Those countries who are for forcing the division of Israel for “peace” with the Muslims can expect to be divided also. YHWH has stated that whoever parts His land can expect quick judgment.
Let’s look: (Joel 3:1) “For look, in those days and at that time, when I turn back the captivity of Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, (Joel 3:2) then I shall gather all gentiles, and bring them down to the Valley of Yehoshaphat. And I shall enter into judgment with them there for my people, my inheritance Yisra’ĕl, whom they have scattered among the gentiles, and they have divided up my land.
PEACE TALKS SET FOR SEPTEMBER 2, 2010
Why is this of vast importance? Many believers have had dreams and visions about this. Nearly all agree about this point- whoever parts Jerusalem- those countries will be divided by YHWH! Many have actually seen the New Madrid fault line from the Great Lakes USA dividing emptying the Great Lakes toward Texas and parting the United States. Over the last 5 years I have been sent 6 such colored maps sent by people who obviously did not know each other.
Dear Friend of Israel, Once again, Israel and the Palestinians are headed to the negotiating table. U.S.-brokered peace talks — the first since the end of 2008, when almost year-long talks broke down — are scheduled to take place in Washington on September 2 between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Abbas. This time, the faces on the Israeli and U.S. side are new, but the issues are not: control of Jerusalem, borders, the status and location of refugees, security, settlements. And there's the continued and formidable challenge of getting the Palestinians — including ruling parties like the terrorist group Hamas, which is not represented at these talks but certainly wields power — to abide by any decisions made. If there's one thing uniting both sides in this heated debate, it's pessimism. Few seem to believe talks will yield anything more than a rehashing of the issues followed by a reestablishing of the impasse. In an interview, a well-known political columnist in Israel summed it up: "Most Israelis have decided that nothing is going to come out of it, that it will have no bearing on their lives. So why should they care?" A Reuters news article quoted one Palestinian as saying, "It's a failure from the outset," and another, "We have no hope." Netanyahu himself has said he wants to "silence the skeptics" by reaching an agreement with the Palestinians, acknowledging that many are indeed doubtful that anything will come of these talks. So, why bother? Why, every so many years, gather world leaders in a room to have the same seemingly doomed conversation? Given the history of previous attempts at peace between Israel and the Palestinians, these are good questions to ask. The answer is that people of faith — Jews and Christians alike — are told to "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6) and, further, to "seek peace and pursue it" (Psalm 34:14). We know that the true path to peace is charted by God Himself — He, and He alone, knows when it will come about, and whether our efforts will help bring it closer. But, still, we are called to be active participants in bringing about peace, and not to allow our discouragement and cynicism to prevent us from always working for it. None of this involves being unrealistic. Israel — and any nation that wishes to survive — must maintain a realistic and sober view of its adversaries and refuse to make concessions that will needlessly put its people at risk. Clearly, in this case, Prime Minister Netanyahu — a stubborn realist if ever there was one — has evaluated the risks and potential benefits of negotiations, and has decided in favor of pursuing them.
Prepare for WAR! (Spiritual, Soul-mind, and likely physically soon enough)
(Isa 60:1) “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isa 60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem (glory) is seen upon you. As this planet gets darker and darker your light will shine brighter and brighter! FEAR NOT! (Mat 24:37) "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. (Mat 24:38) "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, (Mat 24:39) and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Once again, here is a prophetic voice I trust: http://www.xpmedia.com/gDkLoZOIThb4
Bobby Conner’s short video on secrets that are revealed by YHWH- and the wicked beings of Genesis 6 being unleashed on planet earth today. (Forerunners of Goliath and the giants) (Deu 29:29) “The secret matters belong to יהוה our Elohim, but what is revealed belongs to us and to our children forever, to do all the Words of this Torah.
Why such wickedness in the days of Noah? I will use the Concordant literal version to look closer; as there are many scholars (And now many prophetic) who believe that fallen angels (demons) reproduced seed with human women. IF that is true- we will see much deception by the demons in flying saucers, etc. claiming to be from other planets and denying the God of the Bible and Yahshua and doing deceiving signs and wonders!
Reason for the FLOOD!?
(Gen 6:2) And seeing are sons of the Elohim the daughters of the human, that they are good, and taking are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose. (Gen 6:3) And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Not abide shall my spirit in the human for the eon, in that moreover, he is flesh. And come shall his days to be a hundred and twenty years. (Gen 6:4) Now the distinguished come to be in the earth in those days, and, moreover, afterward, coming are those who are sons of the Elohim to the daughters of the human, and they bear for them. They are the masters, who are from the eon, mortals with the name. (Gen 6:5) And seeing is Yahweh Elohim that much is the evil of humanity in the earth, and every form of the devices of its heart is but evil all its days. (Gen 6:6) And regretting is Yahweh Elohim that He made humanity on the earth, and grieving to His heart. (Gen 6:7) And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Wipe will I the humanity, which I have created, off the surface of the ground, from human unto beast, and unto the moving animal, and unto the flyer of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them. (Gen 6:8) Yet Noah finds grace in the eyes of Yahweh Elohim.
We must put on the full armor of YHWH!
(Eph 6:10) For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master Yahshua and in the mightiness of His strength. (Eph 6:11) Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Eph 6:12) We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. (Eph 6:13) Because of this, take up the complete armor of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand. (Eph 6:14) Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Eph 6:15) and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; (Eph 6:16) above all, having taken up the shield of belief/faith with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. (Eph 6:17) Take also the helmet of deliverance/salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim,1 Footnote: 1Isa. 59:21. (Eph 6:18) praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones; (Eph 6:19) also for me, that a word might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News, (Eph 6:20) for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it I might speak boldly, as I should speak.
Weapons of our warfare- as in the days of Noah
The Battle approaching Planet Earth between those who have the Testimony of Yahshua and Keep His Commands satanic demon forces (Yes even Nephilim) requires we make ourselves ready as His Bride by hiding His words in our hearts! We MUST know: “IT IS WRITTEN devil!” (Psa 19:14) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before you, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer.
(Psa 119:11) I have treasured (stored) up your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. (Psa 119:12) Blessed are You, O יהוה! Teach me your laws. (Psa 119:13) With my lips I have recounted all the right-rulings of your mouth. (Psa 119:14) I have rejoiced in the way of your witnesses, as over all riches. (Psa 119:15) I meditate on your orders, and regard your ways. (Psa 119:16) I delight1 myself in your laws; I do not forget your word. Footnote: 1See also vv. 24, 35, 47, 70, 77, 92, 143, 174, Rom. 7:22. (Psa 119:17) Do good to your servant, let me live and I guard your word. (Psa 119:18) Open my eyes, that I might see wonders from your Torah (Instructions/law).
(2Co 10:3) Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh. (2Co 10:4) For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, (2Co 10:5) overthrowing all reasoning’s and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah, (2Co 10:6) and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.1 Footnote: 1John 3:36.
Enter His presence by Hearing- Speaking- Fasting- Praying (Spirit & Truth) - Worship and allow His light to heal you that you may shine bright!
(Mar 4:21) And He said to them, “Would a lamp be brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be put on a lampstand? (Mar 4:22) “For whatever is hidden shall be revealed, and whatever has been kept secret, shall come to light.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 8:17. (Mar 4:23) “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Mar 4:24) And He said to them, “Take care (heed) what you hear. With the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you, and more shall be added to you who hear. (Mar 4:25) “For whoever possesses, to him more shall be given; but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him.”1 Footnote: 1Lk. 8:18.
All the promises of YHWH are YES and AMEN- What are you storing in your mind and WHAT are you speaking?
(2Co 1:18) But Elohim is trustworthy, that our word to you was not Yes and No. (2Co 1:19) For the Son of Elohim, יהושע Messiah, who was proclaimed among you by us – by me, Sila, and Timothy – was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yea. (2Co 1:20) For as many promises as are of Elohim, in Him they are yes, and in Him Amĕn, to the esteem of Elohim through us. (Mat 12:33) “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit.
(Mat 12:34) “You brood of adders (vipers)! How are you able to speak that which is good – being wicked? Out of the mouth speaks from the overflow (store) of the heart. (Mat 12:35) “The good man brings forth what is good from the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked from the wicked treasure stored there. (Mat 12:36) “And I say to you that for every idle (careless) word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Mat 12:37) “For by your words you shall be declared righteous (acquitted), and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous (condemned).”
What you speak will determine what camp of spies you belong to and determine IF you receive or enter the Kingdom promises! (The 10 walking in the flesh or the 2 w/good report in spite of giants in the land)
(Mar 11:21) Then Kĕpha, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered.” (Mar 11:22) And יהושע answering, said to them, “Have belief (faith) in Elohim. (Mar 11:23) “Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain (Giants/ problems/obstacles), ‘Be removed and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says, shall be done, he shall have whatever he says. (Mar 11:24) “Because of this I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. (Mar 11:25) “And whenever you stand praying, if you hold whatever against anyone, forgive, so that your Father in the heavens shall also forgive you your trespasses. (Mar 11:26) “But if you do not forgive, neither shall your Father in the heavens forgive your trespasses.”
Here Are the Torah Scriptures This Week: Ki Tavo “when you enter in”
Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8; Isaiah 60: 1-22; Romans 11:1-15
2 Kings Chapters 13, 14, and 15
(Deu 26:1) “And it shall be, when you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, (Deu 26:2) that you shall take some of the first of all the fruits of the soil which you bring from your land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and shall put it in a basket and go to the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell there. (Deu 26:3) “And you shall come to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I shall declare today to יהוה your Elohim that I have come to the land which יהוה swore to our fathers to give us.’ (Deu 26:4) “And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and place it before the altar of יהוה your Elohim. (Deu 26:5) “And you shall answer and say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘My father was a perishing Aramean, and he went down to Mitsrayim and sojourned there with few men. And there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous. (Deu 26:6) ‘But the Mitsrites did evil to us, and afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us. (Deu 26:7) ‘Then we cried out to יהוה Elohim of our fathers, and יהוה heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression. (Deu 26:8) ‘And יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, with great fear and with signs and wonders. (Deu 26:9) ‘And He brought us to this place and has given us this land, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Deu 26:10) ‘And now, see, I have brought the first-fruits of the land which You, O יהוה, have given me.’ Then you shall place it before יהוה your Elohim, and bow down before יהוה your Elohim, (Deu 26:11) and shall rejoice in all the good which יהוה your Elohim has given to you and your house, you and the Lĕwite and the stranger who is among you. (Deu 26:12) “When you have completed tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Lĕwite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and have been satisfied, (Deu 26:13) then you shall say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘I have put away the set-apart portion from my house, and also have given it to the Lĕwite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your command which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commands, nor have I forgotten. (Deu 26:14) ‘I have not eaten any of it when in neither mourning nor have I removed any of it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to all that you have commanded me. (Deu 26:15) ‘Look from your set-apart dwelling place, from the heavens, and bless your people Yisra’ĕl and the land which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’
Guard His ways is not a suggestion!
(Deu 26:16) “Today יהוה your Elohim is commanding you to do these laws and right-rulings. And you shall guard and do them with all your heart and with all your being. (Deu 26:17) “You have today caused יהוה to proclaim to be your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and His commands, and His right-rulings, and to obey His voice. (Deu 26:18) “And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His commands, (Deu 26:19) so as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
Write the Words of this Torah!
(Deu 27:1) And Mosheh, with the elders of Yisra’ĕl, commanded the people, saying, “Guard all the commands which I am commanding you today. (Deu 27:2) “And it shall be, on the day when you pass over the Yardĕn to the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, that you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and plaster them with plaster, (Deu 27:3) and write on them all the Words of this Torah, when you have passed over, so that you go into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, ‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as יהוה Elohim of your fathers has spoken to you. (Deu 27:4) “And it shall be, when you have passed over the Yardĕn, that on Mount Ěyḇal you set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall plaster them with plaster, (Deu 27:5) and build an altar to יהוה your Elohim there, an altar of stones – do not use an iron tool on them. (Deu 27:6) “Build the altar of יהוה your Elohim with complete stones, and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to יהוה your Elohim, (Deu 27:7) and shall offer peace offerings, and eat there, and rejoice before יהוה your Elohim. (Deu 27:8) “And you shall write all the Words of this Torah on the stones – plainly and well.” (Deu 27:9) And Mosheh and the priests, the Lĕwites, spoke to all Yisra’ĕl, saying, “Be silent and hear, O Yisra’ĕl: This day you have become the people of יהוה your Elohim, (Deu 27:10) and you shall obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, and do His commands and His laws which I command you today.” (Deu 27:11)
Mount Ebal (Evil??) is where the UN (Pharaoh’s government) built their offices!
And Mosheh commanded the people on that day, saying, (Deu 27:12) “These are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Yardĕn: Shimʽon, and Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah, and Yissasḵar, and Yosĕph, and Binyamin. (Deu 27:13) “And these are to stand on Mount Ěyḇal to curse: Re’uḇĕn, Gaḏ, and Ashĕr, and Zeḇulun, Dan, and Naphtali. (Deu 27:14) “And the Lĕwites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Yisra’ĕl: (Deu 27:15) ‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to יהוה, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:16) ‘Cursed is he who makes light of his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:17) ‘Cursed is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:18) ‘Cursed is he who misleads the blind in the way.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:19) ‘Cursed is he who twists the right-ruling of the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:20) ‘Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:21) ‘Cursed is he who lies with any beast.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:22) ‘Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:23) ‘Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:24) ‘Cursed is he who smites his neighbor secretly.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:25) ‘Cursed is he who takes a bribe to slay an innocent being.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deu 27:26) ‘Cursed is he who does not establish the Words of this Torah.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’
Blessing Will Overtake YOU- you cannot escape them!
(Deu 28:1) “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth. (Deu 28:2) “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim: (Deu 28:3) “Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field. (Deu 28:4) “Blessed is the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your livestock – the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. (Deu 28:5) “Blessed is your basket and your kneading bowl. (Deu 28:6) “Blessed are you when you come in, and blessed are you when you go out. (Deu 28:7) “יהוה causes your enemies who rise against you to be smitten before your face – they come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. (Deu 28:8) “יהוה commands the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and shall bless you in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Deu 28:9) “יהוה does establish you as a set-apart people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim and walk in His ways. (Deu 28:10) “And all peoples of the earth shall see that the Name of יהוה is called upon you, and they shall be afraid of you. (Deu 28:11) “And יהוה shall make you to have plenty of what is good, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land of which יהוה swore to your fathers to give you. (Deu 28:12) “יהוה opens to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall lend to many nations, but you do not borrow. (Deu 28:13) “And יהוה shall make you the head and not the tail. And you shall be only on top, and not be beneath, if you obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim, which I command you today, to guard and do. (Deu 28:14) “And do not turn aside from any of the Words which I am commanding you today, right or left, to go after other mighty ones to serve them.
Disobey? These Curses will overtake YOU!
(Deu 28:15) “And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands and His laws which I command you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you: (Deu 28:16) “Cursed are you in the city, and cursed are you in the field. (Deu 28:17) “Cursed is your basket and your kneading bowl. (Deu 28:18) “Cursed is the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. (Deu 28:19) “Cursed are you when you come in, and cursed are you when you go out. (Deu 28:20) “יהוה sends on you the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken me. (Deu 28:21) “יהוה makes the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. (Deu 28:22) “יהוה smites you with wasting disease, and with inflammation, and with burning, and with extreme heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue you until you perish. (Deu 28:23) “And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you iron. (Deu 28:24) “יהוה makes the rain of your land powder and dust; from the heavens it comes down on you until you are destroyed. (Deu 28:25) “יהוה causes you to be defeated before your enemies – you go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And you shall become a horror to all the reigns of the earth. (Deu 28:26) “And your carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth, with no one to frighten them away. (Deu 28:27) “יהוה shall smite you with the boils of Mitsrayim, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you are unable to be healed. (Deu 28:28) “יהוה shall smite you with madness and blindness and bewilderment of heart. (Deu 28:29) “And you shall be groping at noon, as a blind man gropes in darkness, and not prosper in your ways. And you shall be only oppressed and plundered all the days, with no one to save you. (Deu 28:30) “You become engaged to a wife, but another man does lie with her. You build a house, but do not dwell in it. You plant a vineyard, but do not use its fruit. (Deu 28:31) “Your ox is slaughtered before your eyes, but you do not eat of it. Your donkey is violently taken from before you, and it is not given back to you. Your sheep are given to your enemies, with no one to save them. (Deu 28:32) “Your sons and your daughters are given to another people, and your eyes look and fail for them all day long, and your hand powerless. (Deu 28:33) “A people whom you have not known eat the fruit of your land and all your labors. And you shall be only oppressed and crushed all the days. (Deu 28:34) “And you shall be maddened because of the sight which your eyes see. (Deu 28:35) “יהוה smites you in the knees and on the legs with evil boils of which you are unable to be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. (Deu 28:36) “יהוה brings you and the sovereign whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other mighty ones, wood and stone. (Deu 28:37) “Thus you shall become an astonishment and a proverb, and a mockery among all the peoples to which יהוה drives you. (Deu 28:38) “You take much seed out into the field but gather little in, for the locust consumes it. (Deu 28:39) “You plant vineyards, and shall labor, but you neither drink of the wine nor gather, for the worm eats it.

(Deu 28:41) “You bring forth sons and daughters, but they are not with you, for they go into captivity. (Deu 28:42) “Locusts possess all your trees and the fruit of your ground. (Deu 28:43) “The sojourner who is among you rises higher and higher above you, but you come down lower and lower. (Deu 28:44) “He lends to you, but you do not lend to him. He is the head, and you are the tail. (Deu 28:45) “And all these curses shall come upon you, and they shall pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard His commands and His laws which He commanded you. (Deu 28:46) “And they shall be upon you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed, forever. (Deu 28:47) “Because you did not serve יהוה your Elohim with joy and gladness of heart for all the plenty, (Deu 28:48) you shall serve your enemies whom יהוה sends against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in need of all. And he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you. (Deu 28:49) “יהוה brings a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you shall not understand, (Deu 28:50) a fierce-looking nation, which shows no regard for the elderly nor show favor to the young, (Deu 28:51) and they shall eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your land, until you are destroyed. They leave you no grain, nor new wine, nor oil, nor the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you. (Deu 28:52) “And they shall besiege you at all your gates till your high and fenced walls, in which you are trusting, come down in all your land. And they shall besiege you at all your gates in all your land which יהוה your Elohim has given you. (Deu 28:53) “And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom יהוה your Elohim has given you, in the siege and distress in which your enemies distress you. (Deu 28:54) “The man among you who is tender, and who is very delicate, his eye is evil against his brother, against the wife of his bosom, and against the rest of his children whom he leaves behind, (Deu 28:55) against giving any of them the flesh of his children that he eats, because it is all that has been left to him in the siege and distress with which your enemy distresses you in all your gates.
Yikes!
(Deu 28:56) “The tender and the delicate woman among you, who have not tried to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and tenderness, her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter, (Deu 28:57) and against her seed which comes out from between her feet, and her children whom she bears, for she eats them in secret for lack of all, in the siege and distress with which your enemy distresses you in all your gates. (Deu 28:58) “If you do not guard to do all the Words of this Torah that are written in this book, to fear this esteemed and awesome Name, יהוה your Elohim, (Deu 28:59) then יהוה shall bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues, great and lasting plagues, and grievous and lasting sicknesses. (Deu 28:60) “And He shall bring back on you all the diseases of Mitsrayim, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you, (Deu 28:61) also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in the book of this Torah, יהוה does bring upon you until you are destroyed. (Deu 28:62) “And you shall be left with few men, although you had become as numerous as the stars of the heavens, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim. (Deu 28:63) “And it shall be that as יהוה rejoiced over you to do you good and increase you, so יהוה does rejoice over you to destroy you and lay you waste. And you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess. (Deu 28:64) “And יהוה shall scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other mighty ones, which neither you nor your fathers have known, wood and stone. (Deu 28:65) “And among those nations you are to find no rest, nor have a resting place for the sole of your foot. But there יהוה shall give you a trembling heart, and failing eyes, and sorrow of being. (Deu 28:66) “And your life shall be hanging in suspense before you, and you shall fear day and night, and not be certain of your life. (Deu 28:67) “In the morning you say, ‘Oh that it were evening!’ And at evening you say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!’ because of the fear of your heart, with which you fear, and because of the sight which your eyes see. (Deu 28:68) “And יהוה shall bring you back to Mitsrayim in ships, by a way of which I said to you, ‘You are never to see it again.’ And there you shall be sold to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one to buy.”
COVENANT!
(Deu 29:1) These are the words of the covenant which יהוה commanded Mosheh to make with the children of Yisra’ĕl in the land of Mo’aḇ, besides the covenant which He made with them in Ḥorĕḇ. (Deu 29:2) And Mosheh called all Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “You yourselves saw all that יהוה did before your eyes in the land of Mitsrayim, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land. (Deu 29:3) “Your eyes saw the great trials, the signs, and those great wonders. (Deu 29:4) “But יהוה has not given you a heart to know and eyes to see and ears to hear, till this day. (Deu 29:5) “And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your garments have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. (Deu 29:6) “You ate no bread and drank no wine nor strong drink, so that you might know that I am יהוה your Elohim. (Deu 29:7) “And when you came to this place, Siḥon sovereign of Ḥeshbon and Oḡ sovereign of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we smote them, (Deu 29:8) and took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Re’uḇĕnites, and to the Gaḏites, and to half the tribe of Menashsheh.
AS it gets darker (EREV- Evening) you will shine brighter and brighter!
(Isa 60:1) “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isa 60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isa 60:3) “And the gentiles shall come to your light1 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1Isa. 60:19, 20, Rev. 21:23, 24. (Isa 60:4) “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. (Isa 60:5) “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isa 60:6) “A stream of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה. (Isa 60:7) “All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed House. (Isa 60:8) “Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows? (Isa 60:9) “Because the coastlands wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the Name of יהוה your Elohim, and to the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, because He has adorned you. (Isa 60:10) “And the sons of foreigners shall build your walls, and their sovereigns serve you. For in my wrath I have smitten you, but in my delight I shall have compassion on you. (Isa 60:11) “And your gates shall be open continually they are not shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the gentiles, and their sovereigns in procession. (Isa 60:12) “The nation and the reign that do not serve you shall perish, and those gentiles shall be utterly laid waste. (Isa 60:13) “The esteem of Leḇanon shall come to you, cypress, pine, and the box tree together, to embellish the place of my set-apart place. And I shall make the place of my feet esteemed. (Isa 60:14) “And the sons of those who afflicted you come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall bow themselves at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you: City of יהוה, Tsiyon of the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl. (Isa 60:15) “Instead of you being forsaken and hated, so that no one passes through you, I shall make you an everlasting excellence, a joy of many generations. (Isa 60:16) “And you shall drink dry the milk of the gentiles, and shall milk the breast of sovereigns. And you shall know that I, יהוה, your Savior and your Redeemer, am the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ. (Isa 60:17) “Instead of bronze I bring gold, and instead of iron I bring silver, and bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. And I shall make your officers peace, and your magistrate’s righteousness. (Isa 60:18) “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor ruin within your borders. And you shall call your walls Deliverance, and your gates Praise. (Isa 60:19) “No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness. (Isa 60:20) “No longer does your sun go down, nor does your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended. (Isa 60:21) “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of my planting, a work of my hands, to be adorned. (Isa 60:22) “The little shall become a thousand and the small one a strong nation1. I, יהוה, shall hasten it in its time.” Footnote: 1See 41:14, Dan. 2:34-44.
(Rom 11:1) I say then, has Elohim rejected His people? Let it not be! I also am a Yisra’ĕlite, of the seed of Aḇraham, of the tribe of Binyamin. (Rom 11:2) Elohim has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand.1 or do you not know what the Scripture says of Ěliyahu, how he pleads with Elohim against Yisra’ĕl, saying, Footnote: 1Ps. 94:14. (Rom 11:3) “יהוה, they have killed your prophets and overthrown your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? (Rom 11:4) But what does the answer of Elohim say to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baʽal.” (Rom 11:5) So therefore also, at this present time a remnant according to the choice of favor has come to be. (Rom 11:6) And if by favor, it is no longer of works, otherwise favor is no longer favor. And if it is of works, it is no longer favor otherwise work is no longer work. (Rom 11:7) What then? Yisra’ĕl has not obtained what it seeks, but the chosen did obtain it, and the rest were hardened. (Rom 11:8) As it has been written, “יהוה has given them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, unto this day.” (Rom 11:9) Dawiḏ also says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block and a recompense to them, (Rom 11:10) let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and bow down their back always.” (Rom 11:11) I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Let it not be! But by their fall deliverance has come to the gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. (Rom 11:12) And if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the gentiles, how much more their completeness! (Rom 11:13) For I speak to you, the gentiles, inasmuch as I am an emissary to the gentiles, I esteem my service, (Rom 11:14) if somehow I might provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. (Rom 11:15) For if their casting away is the restoration to favor of the world, what is their acceptance but life from the dead?
Evil Kings produce evil results and judgments on the land! (America? SA?)
(2Ki 13:1) The twenty-third year of Yo’ash the son of Aḥazyahu who was sovereign of Yehuḏah, Yeho’aḥaz son of Yĕhu began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron and he reigned seventeen years. (2Ki 13:2) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and followed the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin. He did not turn away from them. (2Ki 13:3) And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl, and He gave them into the hand of Ḥaza’ĕl sovereign of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Haḏaḏ son of Ḥaza’ĕl, all the days. (2Ki 13:4) Then Yeho’aḥaz sought the face of יהוה. And יהוה listened to him, for He saw the oppression of Yisra’ĕl, because the sovereign of Aram oppressed them. (2Ki 13:5) And יהוה gave Yisra’ĕl a savior, so that they came out from under the hand of Aram. And the children of Yisra’ĕl dwelt in their tents as before. (2Ki 13:6) However, they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Yaroḇʽam, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin, but walked in them. Moreover, the Ashĕrah also remained in Shomeron. (2Ki 13:7) He left of the army of Yeho’aḥaz only fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the sovereign of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing. (2Ki 13:8) The rest of the acts of Yeho’aḥaz and all that he did and his might, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (2Ki 13:9) So Yeho’aḥaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Shomeron. And Yo’ash his son reigned in his place. (2Ki 13:10) The thirty-seventh year of Yo’ash the sovereign of Yehuḏah; Yeho’ash son of Yeho’aḥaz began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron, for sixteen years. (2Ki 13:11) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from all the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin – he walked in it. (2Ki 13:12) And the rest of the acts of Yo’ash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amatsyah sovereign of Yehuḏah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (2Ki 13:13) So Yo’ash slept with his fathers. And Yaroḇʽam sat on his throne. And Yo’ash was buried in Shomeron with the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 13:14) And Elisha had become sick with the sickness in which he died. And Yo’ash the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, the chariots of Yisra’ĕl and their horsemen!” (2Ki 13:15) And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” And he took a bow and some arrows. (2Ki 13:16) And he said to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, “Place your hand on the bow.” So he placed his hand, and Elisha placed his hands on the hands of the sovereign, (2Ki 13:17) and said, “Open the east window.” And he had opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot.” And he shot. Then he said, “The arrow of deliverance of יהוה and the arrow of deliverance from Aram, for you shall smite Aram at Aphĕq until it is finished.” (2Ki 13:18) Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, “Strike the ground,” and he struck three times, and stopped. (2Ki 13:19) And the man of Elohim was wroth with him and said, “You should have smitten five or six times, then you would have smitten Aram till its utter destruction. But now you shall smite Aram only three times.” (2Ki 13:20) And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the raiding bands from Mo’aḇ came into the land in the spring of the year. (2Ki 13:21) And it came to be, they were burying a man, and there they saw a raiding band, and cast the man in the tomb of Elisha. And the man fell and touched the bones of Elisha, and came to life and stood on his feet. (2Ki 13:22) And Ḥaza’ĕl sovereign of Aram oppressed Yisra’ĕl all the days of Yeho’aḥaz.
COVENANT! YAY!
(2Ki 13:23) But יהוה showed favor to them, and had compassion on them, and turned toward them, for the sake of His covenant with Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yaʽaqoḇ, and would not destroy them or cast them from His presence as yet. (2Ki 13:24) And Ḥaza’ĕl sovereign of Aram died. And Ben-Haḏaḏ his son reigned in his place. (2Ki 13:25) Yeho’ash; son of Yeho’aḥaz recovered from the hand of Ben-Haḏaḏ, son of Ḥaza’ĕl, the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Yeho’aḥaz his father in battle. Yo’ash smote him three times, and he recovered the cities of Yisra’ĕl.
Blessings or Curses- Do right in YHWH’s eyes and be blessed!
(2Ki 14:1) In the second year of Yo’ash son of Yo’aḥaz, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Amatsyahu son of Yo’ash, sovereign of Yehuḏah, began to reign. (2Ki 14:2) He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Yehoʽaddin of Yerushalayim. (2Ki 14:3) And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, but not like his father Dawiḏ. He did according to his entire father Yo’ash did. (2Ki 14:4) However, the high places were not taken away. The people still slaughtered and burned incense on the high places. (2Ki 14:5) And it came to be, as soon as the reign was strong in his hand, that he smote his servants who had smitten his father the sovereign. (2Ki 14:6) But he did not put to death the children of the murderers, according to what is written in the Book of the Torah of Mosheh, in which יהוה commanded, saying, “Fathers are not put to death for the children, and children are not put to death for the fathers, but each one is put to death for his own sin.” (2Ki 14:7) He smote Eḏom in the Valley of Salt, ten thousand, and took Sela in battle, and called its name Yoqthe’ĕl to this day. (2Ki 14:8) Amatsyah then sent messengers to Yeho’ash son of Yeho’aḥaz, son of Yĕhu, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “Come, let us look each other in the face!” (2Ki 14:9) And Yeho’ash sovereign of Yisra’ĕl sent to Amatsyahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, saying, “The thistle that was in Leḇanon sent to the cedar that was in Leḇanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ A wild beast that was in Leḇanon passed by and trampled the thistle. (2Ki 14:10) “You have certainly smitten Eḏom, and your heart has lifted you up. Be esteemed and stay in your house. But why do you stir up yourself to evil, that you should fall – you and Yehuḏah with you?” (2Ki 14:11) But Amatsyahu did not listen, so Yeho’ash sovereign of Yisra’ĕl went up, and he and Amatsyahu sovereign of Yehuḏah faced one another at Bĕyth Shemesh, which belongs to Yehuḏah. (2Ki 14:12) And Yehuḏah was smitten before Yisra’ĕl, and they each fled to his tent. (2Ki 14:13) And Yeho’ash sovereign of Yisra’ĕl caught Amatsyahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, son of Yeho’ash, son of Aḥazyahu, at Bĕyth Shemesh. And they came to Yerushalayim and he broke through the wall of Yerushalayim from the Gate of Ephrayim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits, (2Ki 14:14) and took all the gold and silver, and all the objects that were found in the House of יהוה and in the treasuries of the sovereign’s house, and hostages, and returned to Shomeron. (2Ki 14:15) And the rest of the acts of Yeho’ash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amatsyahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (2Ki 14:16) So Yeho’ash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Shomeron with the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. And Yaroḇʽam his son reigned in his place.
New King! Evil Brings (Fruit) More Wickedness from hasatan!
(2Ki 14:17) And Amatsyahu son of Yo’ash, sovereign of Yehuḏah, lived fifteen years after the death of Yeho’ash son of Yeho’aḥaz, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 14:18) And the rest of the acts of Amatsyahu, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? (2Ki 14:19) And they made a conspiracy against him in Yerushalayim, and he fled to Laḵish. And they sent after him to Laḵish and killed him there, (2Ki 14:20) and brought him on horses, and he was buried at Yerushalayim with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ. (2Ki 14:21) And all the people of Yehuḏah took Azaryah, who was sixteen years old, and set him up to reign instead of his father Amatsyahu. (2Ki 14:22) He built Ěylath and restored it to Yehuḏah, after the sovereign slept with his fathers. (2Ki 14:23) In the fifteenth year of Amatsyahu son of Yo’ash, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, Yaroḇʽam son of Yo’ash, the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, began to reign in Shomeron, and reigned forty-one years. (2Ki 14:24) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from all the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin. (2Ki 14:25) He restored the border of Yisra’ĕl from the entrance of Ḥamath to the Sea of the Araḇah, according to the word of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, which He had spoken through His servant Yonah son of Amittai, the prophet who was from Gath Ḥĕpher. (2Ki 14:26) For יהוה saw that the affliction of Yisra’ĕl was very bitter. And there was no one, neither shut up nor left at large, to help Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 14:27) And יהוה had not said that He would blot out the name of Yisra’ĕl from under the heavens, but saved them by the hand of Yaroḇʽam son of Yo’ash. (2Ki 14:28) And the rest of the acts of Yaroḇʽam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Dammeseq and Ḥamath for Yehuḏah in Yisra’ĕl, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (2Ki 14:29) Yaroḇʽam slept with his fathers, the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. And Zeḵaryah his son reigned in his place.
New King- Does Some Right but still allows pagan worship! (Like - USA?)
(2Ki 15:1) In the twenty-seventh year of Yaroḇʽam sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Azaryah son of Amatsyah, sovereign of Yehuḏah, began to reign. (2Ki 15:2) He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Yeḵolyahu of Yerushalayim. (2Ki 15:3) And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his father Amatsyahu did, (2Ki 15:4) however, the high places were not taken away. The people still slaughtered and burned incense on the high places. (2Ki 15:5) And יהוה smote the sovereign, so that he was a leper until the day of his death, and he dwelt in a separate house. And Yotham son of the sovereign was over the house, ruling the people of the land. (2Ki 15:6) And the rest of the acts of Azaryahu, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? (2Ki 15:7) So Azaryah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ. And Yotham his son reigned in his place. (2Ki 15:8) In the thirty-eighth year of Azaryahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, Zeḵaryahu son of Yaroḇʽam began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron, for six months. (2Ki 15:9) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin. (2Ki 15:10) And Shallum son of Yaḇĕsh conspired against him, and smote him in front of the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place. (2Ki 15:11) And the rest of the acts of Zeḵaryah, see, they are written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 15:12) This was the word of יהוה which He spoke to Yĕhu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation are going to sit on the throne of Yisra’ĕl.” And it came to be so. (2Ki 15:13) Shallum son of Yaḇĕsh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziyah, the sovereign of Yehuḏah. And he reigned a month of days in Shomeron. (2Ki 15:14) And Menaḥĕm son of Gaḏi went up from Tirtsah, and came to Shomeron, and smote Shallum son of Yaḇĕsh in Shomeron and killed him, and reigned in his place. (2Ki 15:15) And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the conspiracy which he led, see, they are written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 15:16) And Menaḥĕm smote Tiphsaḥ, and all who were there, and its borders, from Tirtsah. Because they did not open it to him, therefore he smote it. And he ripped open all the pregnant women. (2Ki 15:17) In the thirty-ninth year of Azaryah sovereign of Yehuḏah, Menaḥĕm son of Gaḏi began to reign over Yisra’ĕl, ten years in Shomeron. (2Ki 15:18) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin, all his days. (2Ki 15:19) Pul the sovereign of Ashshur came against the land. And Menaḥĕm gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, for his hand to be with him to strengthen the reign in his hand. (2Ki 15:20) And Menaḥĕm exacted the silver of Yisra’ĕl, of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty sheqels of silver, to give to the sovereign of Ashshur. And the sovereign of Ashshur turned back, and did not stay there in the land. (2Ki 15:21) And the rest of the acts of Menaḥĕm, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl? (2Ki 15:22) So Menaḥĕm slept with his fathers. And Peqaḥyah his son reigned in his place. (2Ki 15:23) In the fiftieth year of Azaryah the sovereign of Yehuḏah, Peqaḥyah the son of Menaḥĕm began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron, for two years. (2Ki 15:24) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin. (2Ki 15:25) And Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu, a chief officer of his, conspired against him and smote him in Shomeron, in the high place of the sovereign’s house, along with Argoḇ and Aryĕh, and with him were fifty men of Gilʽaḏ. So he killed him and reigned in his place. (2Ki 15:26) And the rest of the acts of Peqaḥyah, and all that he did, see, they are written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 15:27) In the fifty-second year of Azaryah sovereign of Yehuḏah, Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron, for twenty years. (2Ki 15:28) And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from the sins of Yaroḇʽam son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin.
(2Ki 15:29) In the days of Peqaḥ sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Tiḡlath-Pileser sovereign of Ashshur came and took Iyon, and Aḇĕl Bĕyth Maʽaḵah, and Yanowaḥ, and Qeḏesh, and Ḥatsor, and Gilʽaḏ, and Galil, all the land of Naphtali, and took them into exile to Ashshur. (2Ki 15:30) And Hoshĕa son of Ělah led a conspiracy against Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu, and smote him, and killed him, and reigned in his place in the twentieth year of Yotham son of Uzziyah. (2Ki 15:31) And the rest of the acts of Peqaḥ, and all that he did, see, they are written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. (2Ki 15:32) In the second year of Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Yotham son of Uzziyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, began to reign. (2Ki 15:33) He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Yerusha the daughter of Tsaḏoq. (2Ki 15:34) And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה. He did according to all that his father Uzziyahu did. (2Ki 15:35) However, the high places were not taken away. The people still slaughtered and burned incense on the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the House of יהוה. (2Ki 15:36) And the rest of the acts of Yotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah? (2Ki 15:37) In those days יהוה began to send Retsin sovereign of Aram and Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu against Yehuḏah. (2Ki 15:38) So Yotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ his father. And Aḥaz his son reigned in his place.
May YHWH bless you and keep you, lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace. Loved Ones, if you expect YHWH to provide for you take care of the widows and orphans around you, and the Levites or those who serve YHWH without pay from some religious system. Wherever you find them- I suspect we should all be praying about who these are since our provision will be dependent on whether we are under a curse or not when the finances of this world system are destroyed. Pray and seek His face about these matters- YHWH will direct. If we use up your seed by eating it, we are not wise! Look how He warns the priests who claim to be Levites: (Mal 2:1) “And now, O priests, this command is for you. (Mal 2:2) “If you do not hear, and if you do not take it to heart, to give esteem to my name,” said יהוה of hosts, “I shall send a curse upon you, and I shall curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed them, because you do not take it to heart. (Mal 2:3) “See, I shall rebuke your seed, and scatter dung before your faces, the dung of your festivals. And you shall be taken away with it. (Mal 2:4) “And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, as being my covenant with Lĕwi,” said יהוה of hosts. (Mal 2:5) “My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him, to fear. And he feared me, and stood in awe of my name.
(Mal 2:6) “The Torah of truth1 was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and straightness, and turned many away from crookedness. Footnote: 1Neh. 9:13.
Here He warns us all not to be cursed in our provision- Do NOT eat our seed due to a spirit of fear and lack- let’s trust YHWH!
(Remember the tithe is to be given but is only accepted IF given cheerfully with a willing heart)
(Mal 3:8) “Would a man rob Elohim? Yet you are robbing me! But you said, ‘In what have we robbed you?’ In the tithe and the offering! (Mal 3:9) “You have cursed me with a curse, for you are robbing me, this nation, all of it! (Mal 3:10) “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse (The STOREHOUSE OF YHWH is where He says to give-not a religious institution- but the widows orphans and priest serving YHWH around you), and let there be food in my house. And please prove me in this,” said יהוה of hosts, “whether I do not open for you the windows of the heavens, and shall pour out for you boundless blessing! (Mal 3:11) “And I shall rebuke the devourer for you, so that it does not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor does the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” said יהוה of hosts. (Mal 3:12) “And all nations shall call you blessed, for you shall be a land of delight,” said יהוה of hosts.
Loved Ones- we will need HIM rebuking the devourer from us and our finances and provision in these days approaching us! Let’s pray and DO as He leads and direct us!
