Shabbat Shalom Loved One! (This study is attached and available at the website below)
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies with translations, www.seedtime2harvest.com for “about us” information. Please share our studies as YHWH is restoring all to Himself- 104 countries have now checked out and read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat Shalom Loved One! This is nothing we have done- Mighty is YHWH whose mercy endures forever as He restores all things!
Loved One- last week we shared with you for your prayerful consideration; STORMY WINDS AND FIERY TRIALS and how we may respond to become overcomers. What is expected of us and what will bring us His shalom and victory? Storm winds MUST come. Fire MUST come. Everything MUST be tested to its foundation. Our Messiah is coming back for a bride who is without spot or blemish. He came the first time to take the harlot wife’s bitter waters and death for her whoredoms and pagan traditions. He’s coming next to find His bride without blemish; marry her, and judge and everyone and action unrighteous. If we are self sufficient how will we learn to trust and allow Him to change and redirect our lives as we grow closer and more like Him? When we have plenty (money/resources) of our own ability and have everything figured out- how well would we really fare when those resources and abilities are insufficient? When there may be a famine in the land? When there is no electricity/food/water etc? Are we preparing our hearts and minds to approach our Messiah and King with thanksgiving or murmuring and complaining? Sadly most of the Earth will curse Him according to the Scriptures.
Today, we will discuss who we are and who we are becoming. There are basically two groups that will have REMNANT BRIDE come from out of them. He is joining us and making us ONE WITNESS in His hand. Ezekiel 37:11 And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See, they say, ‘Our bones are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we ourselves have been cut off!’ Ezekiel 37:12 “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O My people, I am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your graves, and shall bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. Ezekiel 37:13 “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from your graves. Ezekiel 37:14 “And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’ ” Ezekiel 37:15 and the word of יהוה came to me, saying, Ezekiel 37:16 “And you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it, ‘For Yehuḏah and for the children of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosĕph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for all the house of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Ezekiel 37:17 “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand. Ezekiel 37:18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’ Ezekiel 37:19 say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Yehuḏah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.” ’ Ezekiel 37:20 “And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. Ezekiel 37:21 “And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the children of Yisra’ĕl from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land. Ezekiel 37:22 “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns. Ezekiel 37:23 “And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, (An idol- anything that is more important to us that knowing and fellowshipping with YHVH) nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be my people, and I be their Elohim, Ezekiel 37:24 while Dawiḏ my servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in my right-rulings and guard my laws, and shall do them. Ezekiel 37:25 “And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, forever, and my servant Dawiḏ be their prince forever. Ezekiel 37:26 “And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting covenant it is with them. And I shall place them and increase them, and shall place my set-apart place in their midst, forever. Ezekiel 37:27 “And My Dwelling Place shall be over them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. Ezekiel 37:28 “And the gentiles shall know that I, יהוה, am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when my set-apart place is in their midst – forever.” ’
Continuing our review- we will springboard from this topic momentarily loved one;
Deuteronomy 4:30 “In your distress (Comment: Storm, fiery trials), when all these words shall come upon you in the latter days, (Now) then you shall return to יהוה your Elohim and shall obey His voice. Deuteronomy 4:31 “For יהוה your Elohim is a compassionate Ěl, He does not forsake you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. Deuteronomy 4:32 “For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that Elohim created man on the earth, and ask from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there has been a Word as great as this, or has been heard like it. Deuteronomy4:33 “Has a people heard the voice of Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? Deuteronomy 4:34 “Or has Elohim tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of a nation by trials, and by signs, and by wonders, and by battle, and by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great fearsome deeds, according to all that יהוה your Elohim did for you in Mitsrayim before your eyes? Deuteronomy 4:35 “You have been shown it, to know that יהוה Himself is Elohim; there is no one beside Him. Deuteronomy 4:36 “From the heavens He let you hear His voice, to instruct you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. Deuteronomy 4:37 “And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought you out of Mitsrayim with His Presence, with His great power, Deuteronomy 4:38 to drive out from before you nations greater and stronger than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today. Deuteronomy 4:39 “And you shall know today, and shall recall to your heart that יהוה Himself is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is none else. We will see even greater deliverance so FEAR NOT! If we must fear anything FEAR YHVH! (Yahweh) As you and I know, REPENTANCE WILL BE REQUIRED OF ALL OF US!
Laodicea as an operation of the Last Days Assemblies of believers
Here again is what we are warned about as we likely know by now loved one; we are the last day’s assembly of believers on the earth, considered LAODICEA by Yahshua (Jesus).We are REQUIRED to grow and OVERCOME the storms and fiery trials and tests or be removed as vomit is. (Rev 3:13) “He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ (Rev 3:14) “And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1Col. 1:15, Hebrews. 1:6. (Rev 3:15) “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. (Rev 3:16) “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:17) “Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. (Rev 3:18) “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire,1 so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. Footnote: 1Ps. 19:10, Ps. 119:72 & 127, Prov. 30:5. (Rev 3:19) “As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent. (Rev 3:20) “See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:21) “To him who overcomes I shall give to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Rev 3:22) “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ”
Do we realize what the word for the city Laodicea actually defines by definition?
One last point about Kings and Priests that we absolutely MUST understand loved one; will we willingly become a bride who makes herself presentable to her groom, by an act of her absolute will? This bride (You and I) will humble herself and submit to receive the engrafted word and change. She (Hopefully WE) will DRAW EVER NEAR to her bridegroom. He changes not, loved one, so that leaves only us to determine if we will willingly change and become the bride. I realize we have all been falsely taught we will all be His bride that are born again spiritually by accepting Yahshua (Jesus) as Lord and Savior. We should consider that together. Do we really believe if we will not obey Him today that we will be trusted to be teachers, Kings and Priests in His Kingdom when He sets it up? That is absolutely unreasonable, would we trust someone who was always disobedient to help us rule and reign as Kings and Priests? FORGET IT! Never happen. He will use those who are obedient by willing choices as determined by His definition and words of those who really love Him. (John 14:15) “If you love me, you shall guard (do) my commands.1 Footnote: 1See Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:21) “He who possesses (Has) my commands and guards (does) them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.”
Here are some thoughts garnered about Laodicea historically. Another source taught that Laodicea means DEMOCRACY or rule by vote- (NOT YHVH)
A later earthquake destroyed the city c.60AD but it was rebuilt with finance from the wealth of the Laodicean inhabitants during the reign of Emperor Nero. Tacitus (14:27) simply notes that ‘One of the famous cities of Asia, Laodicea, was that same year overthrown by an earthquake, and, without any relief from us, recovered itself by its own resources’. This indicates the wealth of the city and ties in with the date of Paul’s letter to the fellowship that he noted as being sent when he wrote at the same time to the Colossians (4:16). If an early date is proposed for John’s writing, there is more in Jesus’ words that the fellowship regards itself as self-sufficient than just its financial prosperity but would be rooted in its recent success at rebuilding its city with its own resources - most cities needed to appeal to Caesar for financial aid in such a crisis. The city appears to have been a centre of banking and financial institutions, being a place where money-changing were common practice. It minted its own coins a number of centuries before the first century AD due to its wealth. This seems to have been a result, however, of the city’s success in agricultural products such as the black wool for which it was renowned. It is probable that Antiochus (the founder of Laodicea) settled a number of Jewish families in this region after his conquest of Israel. The Jews had already been forbidden to send monetary aid by the Emperor to the Jewish nation around 62BC and estimates (Barclay according to Mounce) put the number of Jewish citizens at around 7,000. This event of itself indicates that they had become fairly wealthy. There is, however, no real indication in the text of the letter of Revelation that a strong and powerful Jewish community existed and neither is there any apparent reference to the Caesar-cult which had its centre in the city - the church’s problems do not appear to be outside its boundaries but solely within in the attitudes and lifestyle of its members.
What was the source of LAODICEAN WEALTH? Hmmm- sounds familiar…
Laodicea has also often been labeled as the chief medical centre of Phrygia and Zondervan notes that ‘...its production of a poultice... [Was] widely sought for treatment of eye ailments’ along with many other commentators, though no source is quoted to justify the statement. Mounce comments of the medical school that it was ‘...established in connection with the temple of Men Carou thirteen miles to the north and west. It boasted such famous teachers as Zeuxis and Alexander Philalethes (who appear on coinage). Ramsay notes that the Laodicean physicians followed the teaching of Herophilos (330-250BC) who, on the principle that compound diseases require compound medicines, began a strange system of heterogeneous mixtures...Two of the most famous were an ointment from spice nard for the ears, and an eye-salve made from “Phrygian powder” mixed with oil (Galen vi.439)’ So did you notice that the main source of wealth appears to be BANKING, FINANCE, & PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES?
Laodicea seems to remind us that when we have abundant resources and wealth; we have no demand or desire to hunger and thirst for YHVH and His direction, protection and provision. We think we are wise in our own eyes and ignorantly consider ourselves SELF-SUFFICIENT!
Loved One, we MUST draw (relationship) near our King and become His bride!
(Eph 5:11) And have no fellowship with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather reprove1 them. Footnote: 1Or confute, or expose. (Eph 5:12) For it is a shame even to speak of what is done by them in secret. (Eph 5:13) But all matters being reproved1 are manifested by the light, for whatever is manifested is light. Footnote: 1Or confuted, or exposed. (Eph 5:14) That is why He says, “Wake up, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.” (Eph 5:15) See then that you walk exactly (Uprightly), not as unwise, but as wise, (Eph 5:16) redeeming the time, because the days are wicked. (Eph 5:17) So then do not be foolish, but understand what the desire of יהוה is. (Eph 5:18) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is loose behavior, but be filled with the Spirit, (Eph 5:19) speaking to each other in psalms and songs of praise and spiritual songs, singing and striking the strings in your heart to the Master, (Eph 5:20) giving thanks always for all to Elohim the Father, in the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Eph 5:21) subjecting yourselves to each other in the fear1 of Elohim. Footnote: 1Ex. 20:20. (Eph 5:22) Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Master. (Eph 5:23) Because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Messiah is head of the assembly, and He is Savior of the body. (Eph 5:24) But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every respect. (Eph 5:25) Husbands, love your wives, as Messiah also did love the assembly and gave Himself for it, (Eph 5:26) in order to set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,1 Footnote: 1Rev. 19:8-9. (Eph 5:27) in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having spot or wrinkle or any of this sort, but that it might be set-apart and blameless.
Okay- it’s time to address the “IN OUR FACE” topic YHVH (Yahweh) has shown me to talk about this week. Some of us have come out of “Churchianity” and moved toward our Hebraic roots of our faith. Some continue moving in to pagan Judaism that Yahshua came to challenge. All of this movement is in the interest of “fitting in” with Judah and not offending our older brother. (Prodigal sons who have been eating pig and pig slop) Remember that Deuteronomy 4 warns us not to add to or diminish the Word. Others are coming out of Judaism (Not nearly as many) as there are ten tribes of the scattered “Lost Sheep” Yahshua came for and two of Judah who are likely Judah and Levites/Benjamin who settled close to Jerusalem.
(Deuteronomy 4:1) “And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and the right-rulings which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go in and possess the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
So what has happened is Yahshua (Jesus) came to rightly interpret (Divide the word) and corrected Judah for adding to Torah. Churchianity has added pagan holidays to the word as those holidays are not in Scripture and they have also taken away the Torah; at least those among Churchianity that say the LAW/TORAH or Moses and the Prophets no longer apply. We of Ephraim (Scattered Tribes) were dispersed worldwide for this very disobedience and harlotry and taken away captive from 727 to 724 BCE by the Assyrian General Shalmaneser V. (Shalmaneser V, 727–722 BCE, put down a rebellion of Phoenicia, Israel, and Egyptian supporters; he imprisoned Hoshea king of Israel (724 BCE) and besieged Samaria, which fell in 722.) Ezekiel had lain on his side for 390 days for years of scattering punishment- MULTIPLIED TIMES 7 for continued Easter worship, sun-god day winter solstice worship on Dec 25th and many other pagan feasts and practices.
Now here’s what I am told to address, Loved Ones! Torah Keepers MUST yield to His Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) and Judah must receive Yahshua and also yield to His Spirit and accept Yahshua as Lord! As Torah Keepers we will never lead one from Judah to believing and following Yahshua by fitting in with them and wearing skull caps, etc. - that is a sign you submit to Judaism which still is mostly man made also. Please don’t take offense- consider carefully what He has told me. You will never lead them or make them (Judah) jealous for the relationship you have with Elohim by lighting candles and following all their man made traditions! They will only laugh at you and exercise authority over you- hey you can join their group and pay- just not vote you peon- ha ha. So is yielding and being baptized (Mikveh) in His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) something we as followers of Messiah should repent and now do? (Luke 11:9) And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Luke 11:10) Every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. (Luke 11:11) If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? (Luke 11:12) Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? (Snakes-serpents and scorpions here represent the demonic realm of Luke 10:19 we have been given authority over) (Luke 11:13) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? No need to fear demons over this matter as we better not as YHVH throws the fearful into hell’s flames with the adulterers and sorcerers, etc. Let’s make sure loved one that we do not assign the works of the Ruach (Holy Spirit) to hell as that is the unpardonable sin and transgression!
You and I will lead them to their coming Messiah Yahshua (Jesus- and He better not be presented as LAWLESS-TORAHLESS or another Jesus we were warned about) by raising their dead, healing their sick and hopeless; and walking in the gifts of the Spirit AND keeping His Commands (TORAH) but not following their added commands. Are you and I walking in His power? There will have to be an accompaniment of signs and wonders for our walk to be authentic- THE WAY!
PARTIAL obedience is cloaked rebellion and please do remember with me that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft! (1Sa 15:23) Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of YHVH, he has also rejected you from being king.
HERE IS THE CORE MESSAGE THAT YAHSHUA GAVE FOR EACH OF US TO CONSIDER TODAY! IT IS DECISION TIME FOR US LOVED ONE!
Perhaps it’s is TIME for us (You and I) to consider taking a fresh look. Perhaps we need to go back and spit out some doctrine that left us powerless against the natural facts and the hordes of hell. Perhaps we need to go back also and eat some doctrine that we earlier spit out based on fear and fitting in- along with the very Scriptures that allows for a power filled BODY no longer separated from the HEAD—OUR POWER FILLED KING!
(Mar 16:17) “And these signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues, (Mar 16:18) they shall take up snakes (Representing the demonic as in Luke 10:19), and if they drink any deadly drink it shall by no means hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall get well.” (Mar 16:19) Then indeed, after the Master had spoken to them, He was received up into the heaven, and sat down at the right hand of Elohim. (Mar 16:20) And they went out and proclaimed it everywhere, while the Master worked with them, and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs. Amĕn.
(Act 4:24) And having heard that, they lifted up their voice to Elohim with one mind and said, “יהוה, you are Elohim, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, (Act 4:25) who by the mouth of your servant Dawiḏ have said, ‘Why did the gentiles rage, and the people plot in vain? (Act 4:26) ‘The sovereigns of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against יהוה and against His Messiah.’1 Footnote: 1See Ps. 2:1-2. (Act 4:27) “For truly, in this city there were gathered together against your set-apart Servant יהושע, whom you anointed, both Herodes and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and the people of Yisra’ĕl (Act 4:28) to do whatever your hand and your purpose decided before to be done. (Act 4:29) “And now, יהוה, look on their threats, and give to Your servants all boldness to speak your word, (Act 4:30) by stretching out Your hand for healing, and signs, and wonders to take place through the Name of your set-apart Servant יהושע.” (Act 4:31) And when they had prayed, the place where they came together was shaken. And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit, and they spoke the word of Elohim with boldness. (Act 4:32) And the group of those who believed were of one heart and one being (Unity of the brethren). And no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had all in common. (Act 4:33) And with great power the emissaries gave witness to the resurrection of the Master יהושע, and great favor was upon them all. (Act 4:34) For there was not anyone needy among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of what was sold, (Act 4:35) and laid them at the feet of the emissaries, and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
Okay with us seeking His face, that we may walk as He walked- we turn our hearts and minds to study His Instructions!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Teruma “Offerings”
Exodus 25:1-27:19; 1 Kings 5:12-6:13; Matthew 5:33-37
Willingly give from what you have and your gift is acceptable to YHVH!

(Exodus 25:3) “And this is the contribution which you take up from them: gold, and silver, and bronze, (Exodus 25:4) and blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, (Exodus 25:5) and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, (Exodus 25:6) oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, (Exodus 25:7) shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate.

(Exodus 25:20) “And the keruḇim shall be spreading out their wings above, covering the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other, the faces of the keruḇim turned toward the lid of atonement. (Exodus 25:21) “And you shall put the lid of atonement on top of the ark, and put into the ark the Witness which I give you. (Exodus 25:22) “And I shall meet with you there, and from above the lid of atonement, from between the two keruḇim which are on the ark of the Witness, I shall speak to you all that which I command you concerning the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 25:23) “And you shall make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 25:24) “And you shall overlay it with clean gold, and shall make a molding of gold all around, (Exodus 25:25) and shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth all around, and shall make a gold molding for the rim all around. (Exodus 25:26) “And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs. (Exodus 25:27) “The rings are close to the rim, as holders for the poles to lift the table. (Exodus 25:28) “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be lifted with them. (Exodus 25:29) “And you shall make its dishes, and its ladles, and its jars, and its bowls for pouring. Make them of clean gold. (Exodus 25:30) “And you shall put the showbread on the table before me, continually. (Exodus 25:31) “And you shall make a lampstand of clean gold – the lampstand is made of beaten work. Its base and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs and blossoms are from it, (Exodus 25:32) and six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side; (Exodus 25:33) three cups made like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups made like almond flowers on the other branch, with ornamental knob and blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 25:34) “And on the lampstand itself are four cups made like almond flowers, with ornamental knob and blossom, (Exodus 25:35) and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 25:36) “Their knobs and their branches are of the same – all of it one beaten work of clean gold. (Exodus 25:37) “And you shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall mount its lamps so that they give light in front of it. (Exodus 25:38) “And its snuffers and their trays are of clean gold. (Exodus 25:39) “It is made of a talent of clean gold, with all these utensils. (Exodus 25:40) “So see, and do according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.
Sample for the detail intricate dwelling place (Our hearts) for YHVH!
(Exodus 26:1) “And make the Dwelling Place with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. Make them, with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 26:2) “The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure. (Exodus 26:3) “Five curtains are joined to each other, and five curtains are joined to each other. (Exodus 26:4) “And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain on one set, and do the same on the edge of the end curtain of the second set. (Exodus 26:5) “Make fifty loops in the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the second set, the loops being opposite to each other.

So it is for both of them, they are for the two corners.

(Exodus 26:33) “And you shall hang the veil from the hooks, and shall bring the ark of the Witness there, behind the veil. And the veil shall make a separation for you between the Set-apart and the Most Set-apart Place. (Exodus 26:34) “And you shall put the lid of atonement upon the ark of the Witness in the Most Set-apart Place. (Exodus 26:35) “And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the Dwelling Place toward the south, and put the table on the north side. (Exodus 26:36) “And you shall make a covering for the door of the Tent, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver. (Exodus 26:37) “And you shall make for the covering five columns of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, their hooks of gold, and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
We are to be an Altar of CONTINUOUS LIGHT ALSO!
(Exodus 27:1) “And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide – the altar is square – and its height three cubits. (Exodus 27:2) “And you shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns are of the same. And you shall overlay it with bronze. (Exodus 27:3) “And you shall make its pots to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its fire holders. Make all its utensils of bronze. (Exodus 27:4) “And you shall make a grating for it, a bronze network, and shall make on the network four bronze rings at its four corners, (Exodus 27:5) and shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, so that the network is halfway up the altar. (Exodus 27:6) “And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and shall overlay them with bronze. (Exodus 27:7) “And the poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar for lifting it. (Exodus 27:8) “Make it hollow with boards. As it was shown to you on the mountain, so they are to make it. (Exodus 27:9) “And you shall make the courtyard of the Dwelling Place: for the south side screens for the courtyard made of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long for one side, (Exodus 27:10) and its twenty columns and their twenty sockets of bronze, the hooks of the columns and their bands of silver, (Exodus 27:11) and so for the north side in length, screens one hundred cubits long, with its twenty columns and their twenty sockets of bronze, and the hooks of the columns and their bands of silver. (Exodus 27:12) “And the width of the courtyard on the west side screens of fifty cubits, with their ten columns and their ten sockets. (Exodus 27:13) “The width of the courtyard on the east side is fifty cubits. (Exodus 27:14) “And the screens on one side of the gate fifteen cubits, with their three columns and their three sockets. (Exodus 27:15) “On the other side make screens of fifteen cubits, with their three columns and their three sockets. (Exodus 27:16) “And for the gate of the courtyard make a covering twenty cubits long, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver – four columns and four sockets. (Exodus 27:17) “All the columns around the courtyard have bands of silver, their hooks silver and their sockets bronze. (Exodus 27:18) “The length of the courtyard is one hundred cubits, and the width fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, woven of fine linen thread, and its sockets of bronze. (Exodus 27:19) “All the utensils of the Dwelling Place for all its service, all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, are bronze. (Exodus 27:20) “And you, you are to command the children of Yisra’ĕl to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually. (Exodus 27:21) “In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the Witness, Aharon and his sons are to tend it from evening until morning before יהוה – a law forever to their generations, from the children of Yisra’ĕl. (1Ki 5:12) And יהוה gave Shelomoh wisdom, as He promised him. And there was peace between Ḥiram and Shelomoh, and the two of them made a covenant. (1Ki 5:13) And Sovereign Shelomoh rose up compulsory labor out of all Yisra’ĕl. And the compulsory labor was thirty thousand men. (1Ki 5:14) And he sent them to Leḇanon, ten thousand a month by courses – they were one month in Leḇanon, two months at home. And Aḏoniram was over the compulsory labor. (1Ki 5:15) And Shelomoh had seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing stone in the mountains, (1Ki 5:16) besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Shelomoh’s deputies who were over the work, those ruling over the people who labored in the work. (1Ki 5:17) And the sovereign commanded, and they brought large stones, precious stones, to lay the foundation of the House with hewn stones. (1Ki 5:18) And Shelomoh’s builders, and Ḥiram’s builders, and the men of Geḇal did hew, and prepared timber and stones to build the House. (1Ki 6:1) And it came to be, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, in the fourth year of the reign of Shelomoh over Yisra’ĕl, in the month of Ziw, which is the second month that he began to build the House of יהוה. (1Ki 6:2) And the house which Sovereign Shelomoh built for יהוה was sixty cubits long, and twenty wide, and thirty cubits high. (1Ki 6:3) And the porch at the front of the hĕḵal of the House was twenty cubits long, according to the breadth of the House, and its width ten cubits, from the front of the House. (1Ki 6:4) And he made for the House windows with narrowed frames. (1Ki 6:5) And against the wall of the House he built rooms all around, against the walls of the House, all around the hĕḵal and the Speaking Place. Thus he made side rooms all around. (1Ki 6:6) The lowest side room was five cubits wide, and the middle one was six cubits wide, and the third one was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the House, so as not to lay hold on the walls of the House. (1Ki 6:7) And the House, when it was being built, was built with finished stone made ready beforehand, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the House while it was being built. (1Ki 6:8) The doorway for the middle side room was on the right side of the House. And they went up by stairs to the middle side rooms and from the middle to the third. (1Ki 6:9) So he built the House and completed it, and he paneled the House with beams and boards of cedar. (1Ki 6:10) And he built the side rooms of the structure against the entire House, each five cubits high, and they were fastened to the House with cedar beams. (1Ki 6:11) And the word of יהוה came to Shelomoh, saying, (1Ki 6:12) “This House which you are building – if you walk in My laws, and do My right-rulings, and shall guard all My commands and walk in them, then I shall confirm My word with you, which I spoke to your father Dawiḏ, (1Ki 6:13) and shall dwell in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and not forsake My people Yisra’ĕl.”
Let our words agree with the YES and AMEN- the First and LAST!
(Mat 5:33) “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to יהוה.’ (Mat 5:34) “But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by the heaven, because it is Elohim’s throne; (Mat 5:35) nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign; (Mat 5:36) nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. (Mat 5:37) “But let your word ‘Yea’ be ‘Yea,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
Loved One, my prayer for you and your loved ones is that you BELEIVE YHVH to a point of ACTION- remember with me that faith that is seen is not faith at all; and that apart from becoming DOERS of His word we will produce nothing that remains. In knowing this, I further pray we become so hungry and thirsty for His righteousness that we are filled with His thoughts, words and actions. That we become like the deer that pants for the water- a matter of life and death in Psalms 42; (Psalm 42:1) As a deer longs (pants) for the water streams, so my being longs for You, O Elohim. (Psalm 42:2) My being thirsts for Elohim, for the living Ěl. When shall I enter in to appear before Elohim? (Psalm 42:3) My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day, “Where is your Elohim?” (Psalm 42:4) These I remember, and pour out my being within me. For I used to pass along with the throng; (multitudes) I went with them to the House of Elohim, with the voice of joy and praise, A multitude keeping a festival! (Feasts) (Psalm 42:5) Why are you depressed, O my being? And why are you restless within me? Wait for Elohim: for I shall yet thank Him, for the deliverance of His face! HalleluYAH!
Thanks you for your wonderful heartfelt prayers of blessing for me and my loved ones! Multitudes are in the Valley of Decision. You are the greatest loved ones on the planet because you actually take the time to seek Him and speak the blessings- which will come back to you! HalleluYAH!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
