Why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…
Why
MUST we draw ever so close to the very heart of Yahshua? Would Yahshua give His
power to those who try and judge others which judgment He retains for Himself
only? We will need YHWH’s power to walk and produce fruit during the 42 months
of Great Tribulation when the anti-messiah (antichrist) rules after he takes
away the daily sacrifice. (Daily offering not started up again in Israel
yet) This is who we become: the 2 witnesses in HIS HAND- JUDAH
& EPHRAIM! Hallelu-Yah- let us repent continually; draw near and
know our Elohim!
Let’s look at
several Scripture Versions:
KJV
(Dan 11:31)
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice,
and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. (Dan 11:32)
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do
know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
ASV
(Dan 11:31)
And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the
sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the
abomination that maketh desolate. (Dan 11:32) And such as do wickedly against the covenant
shall he pervert by flatteries; but
the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
The Scriptures
(Dan 11:31)
“And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place,
the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the
abomination that lays waste1. Footnote: 1See 8:13, 9:27, Mt.24:15. (Dan 11:32)
“And by flatteries he shall profane those who do wrong against the
covenant, but the people who know
their Elohim shall be strong, and shall act.
WE will do exploits as we yield and
submit to His word and become our destiny- no more dry bones but A MIGHTY
WITNESS IN HIS HANDS!
(Ezekiel 37:1)
The hand of יהוה was upon me
and took me out by the Spirit of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the
valley. And it was filled with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2) And He made me pass among them, all around,
and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were
very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3) And He said to me, “Son of man, would these
bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה, you know.” (Ezekiel
37:4) Again He said to me,
“Prophesy to these bones and you shall say to them, ‘O
dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5)
‘Thus said the Master יהוה to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you
shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6) “And I shall put sinews on you and bring
flesh upon you, and cover you with skin and put a spirit in you, and you shall
live. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel
37:7) and I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there
was a noise, and there was a rattling. And the bones came together, bone to
bone. (Ezekiel 37:8) And I looked and saw sinews and flesh came
upon them, and skin covered them, but there was no spirit in them. (Ezekiel 37:9)
He then said to me, “Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and
you shall say to the spirit, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “Come from the four winds, O spirit, and
breathe on these slain, so that they live.” ’ ” (Ezekiel
37:10) and I prophesied as He commanded me, and the spirit came into
them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great army. (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, 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 will 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.” ’ ”
Here
is the special note Father asked me to warn us about- it is a life and death
moment of decision for most of us…Lashon Hara and all evil speaking!
Lashon hara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The related terms "hotzaat Shem
ra"/"hotzaat diba", and "rekhilut" all redirect here.
The
Hebrew term lashon hara (or loshon hora) (Hebrew
לשון הרע; "evil tongue") is the halakhic term for
derogatory speech about another person.[1]
Lashon hara differs from defamation
in that its focus is on the use of true speech for a wrongful purpose, rather
than falsehood and harm arising. By contrast, hotzaat Shem ra
("spreading a bad name"), also called hotzaat diba, consists
of untrue remarks, and is best translated as "slander" or
"defamation". Hotzaat Shem ra is worse, and consequentially a
graver sin, than lashon hara.[1] Speech
is considered to be lashon hara if it says something negative about a
person or party, is not previously known to the public, is not seriously
intended to correct or improve a negative situation, and is true. Statements that
fit this description are considered to be lashon hara, regardless of the
method of communication that is used, whether it is through face-to-face
conversation, a letter, telephone, or email. The sin of lashon hara is
considered to be a very serious sin
Why would He instruct me to teach on this? I suspect we
need to search our hearts and words; inspect
ourselves and REPENT if our hearts condemn us in any way! JUDGE
OURSELVES or we are about to be judged in fiery trials approaching. (1Co 11:30)
Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. (1Co 11:31) For if we were to examine ourselves, we
would not be judged. (1Co 11:32) But when we are judged, we are disciplined by
the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world.
(Mat 7:1) “Do not judge, lest you be judged. (Mat 7:2) “For with what judgment you judge, you shall
be judged. And with the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you.
(Mat 7:3)
“And why do you look at the splinter in your
brother’s eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye? (Mat 7:4) “Or how is it that you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove
the splinter out of your eye,’ and see, a plank is in your own eye? (Mat 7:5) “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and
then you shall see clearly to remove the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
I also suspect more of us better take Him serious now as
He will not allow us to sit as JUDGE of the TORAH! (James 4:8)
Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse your hands,
sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9) Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter
be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master,
and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11) Brothers, do not speak against one
another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against
Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but
a judge. (James 4:12) There
is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to
judge another?
We must clean up and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE
and allow Him to make us who were once DRY
BONES to become the restored! We cannot follow those of various
religious systems including both Judaism and these below who are described similar
to modern Churchianity: (Ezekiel 22:26)
"Her priests have
done violence to my law
(Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
Mat 21:44 “And he
who falls on this stone (The
Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on
whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote:
1Rom. 8:10 & 13, Col. 3:5. (Deuteronomy
30:19) “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today
against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing
and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that
you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy
30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His
voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days –
to dwell in the land which יהוה
swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give
them.”
Here’s our prayer Yah suggests for us to make below-CONTINUALLY!
(Luke 21:36) You watch you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man. Of
course the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having
produced fruit that will remain!
Here
is our condition- Now we speak
no careless words but we speak His words of agreement about ourselves and we
become who He is restoring us to become- HIS WITNESSES!
(Mat 12:34) “You brood of
adders! How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow
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. (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, and by your words you shall be
declared unrighteous (condemned).”
If no man (male or female) can tame the
tongue, which yields our direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder
on a ship; how then can our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers” putting down others and building their own
kingdoms- which of course will be burned with fire! (Pro
18:21) Death and life are in the
power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
WITH REPENTANT WORDS IN OUR HEARTS- let’s
turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
Va’era “And I appeared”
Exodus
6:2-9:35; Ezekiel 28:25-29:21; Romans 9:14-24
YHWH
appears to men ad reveals HIS NAME!
(Exodus 6:2)
And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה. (Exodus
6:3) “And I appeared to Aḇraham,
to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, יהוה was I not known to them? (Exodus 6:4) “And I also established my covenant with
them, to give them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojourning’s, in
which they have sojourned. (Exodus 6:5) “And I have also heard the groaning of the
children of Yisra’ĕl whom the Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered my
covenant. (Exodus 6:6) “Say, therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
‘I am יהוה,
and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites, and shall
deliver you from their enslaving, and shall redeem you with an outstretched
arm, and with great judgments, (Exodus 6:7) and
shall take you as my people, and I shall be your Elohim. And you shall know
that I am יהוה
your Elohim who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites. (Exodus 6:8)
‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give to Aḇraham,
to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an inheritance. I am יהוה.’ ” (Exodus 6:9) And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, but they did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit,
and from hard slavery. (Exodus 6:10) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 6:11) “Go in, speak to Pharaoh Sovereign of
Mitsrayim, to let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.” (Exodus 6:12)
And Mosheh spoke before יהוה, saying, “The children of Yisra’ĕl have not listened to me, and
why would Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” (Exodus 6:13)
And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, and gave them a command for the children of
Yisra’ĕl and for Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, to bring the children of
Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 6:14) These are the heads of their fathers’ houses:
The sons of Re’uḇĕn, the first-born of Yisra’ĕl: Ḥanoḵ and Pallu, Ḥetsron
and Karmi. These are the clans of Re’uḇĕn. (Exodus
6:15) And the sons of Shimʽon:
Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin, and Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul the son of a
Kenaʽanite woman. These are the clans of Shimʽon. (Exodus
6:16) These are the names of the
sons of Lĕwi according to their generations: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari.
And the years of the life of Lĕwi were one hundred and thirty-seven. (Exodus 6:17)
The sons of Gĕreshon: Liḇni and Shimʽi according to their clans. (Exodus 6:18)
And the sons of Qehath: Amram, and Yitshar, and Ḥeḇron, and Uzzi’ĕl.
And the years of the life of Qehath were one hundred and thirty-three. (Exodus 6:19)
And the sons of Merari: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the clans of Lĕwi
according to their generations. (Exodus 6:20) And Amram took for himself Yoḵeḇeḏ, his
father’s sister, as wife. And she bore him Aharon and Mosheh. And the years of
the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven. (Exodus
6:21) And the sons of Yitshar:
Qoraḥ, and Nepheḡ, and Ziḵri. (Exodus 6:22) And the sons of Uzzi’ĕl: Misha’ĕl, and
Eltsaphan, and Sithri. (Exodus 6:23) Aharon took to himself Elisheḇa, daughter of
Amminaḏaḇ, sister of Naḥshon, as wife. And she bore him Naḏaḇ, and Aḇihu,
Elʽazar, and Ithamar. (Exodus 6:24) And the sons of Qoraḥ: Assir, Elqanah, and
Aḇiyasaph. These are the clans of the Qorḥites. (Exodus
6:25) And Elʽazar, Aharon’s son,
took for himself one of the daughters of Puti’ĕl as wife. And she bore him
Pineḥas. These are the heads of the fathers of the Lĕwites according to their
clans. (Exodus 6:26) This is Aharon, and Mosheh, to whom יהוה said,
“Bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim according to
their divisions.” (Exodus 6:27) They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh Sovereign
of Mitsrayim, to bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from Mitsrayim. This is
Mosheh, and Aharon. (Exodus 6:28) And it came to be, on the day when יהוה spoke to
Mosheh in the land of Mitsrayim, (Exodus 6:29)
that יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, “I am יהוה. Speak to Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim all that I say to
you.” (Exodus 6:30) And Mosheh said before יהוה, “See, I am of uncircumcised lips, and why
would Pharaoh listen to me?”
We will soon have a new Pharaoh
(Anti-messiah-antichrist) who we (Only walking with Yahshua) will be as
an Elohim to him---Here comes the destruction of all of the world’s (Egypt’s)
false gods and idols- just like we shall see and proclaim as Revelation
suggests…
(Exodus 7:1)
So יהוה said to
Mosheh, “See, I have made you an elohim1 to Pharaoh, and Aharon
your brother is your prophet. Footnote: 1Or
mighty one – see footnote at 4:16. (Exodus
7:2) “You shall speak all that I
command you, and Aharon your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to let the
children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land. (Exodus 7:3) “But I am going to harden the heart of
Pharaoh, and shall increase my signs and my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 7:4)
“And Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, and I shall lay my hand on
Mitsrayim, and bring my divisions and my people, the children of Yisra’ĕl, out
of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments. (Exodus
7:5) “And the Mitsrites shall
know that I am יהוה, when I stretch out my hand on Mitsrayim. And I shall bring the
children of Yisra’ĕl out from among them.” (Exodus
7:6) And Mosheh and Aharon did as
יהוה
commanded them, so they did. (Exodus 7:7) Now Mosheh was eighty years old and Aharon
eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. (Exodus
7:8) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Exodus 7:9) “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying,
‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod
and throw it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” (Exodus 7:10) So Mosheh and Aharon went in to
Pharaoh, and they did so, as יהוה commanded. And Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before
his servants, and it became a serpent. (Exodus 7:11) But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the practicers
of witchcraft. And they, the magicians of Mitsrayim, also did so with their magic.
(Exodus 7:12)
And they, each one, threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But
the rod of Aharon swallowed up their rods. (Exodus
7:13) And Pharaoh’s heart was
hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exodus
7:14) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “The heart of Pharaoh is
hard, he refuses to let the people go. (Exodus 7:15) “Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he goes out
to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. And take in
your hand the rod which was turned into a serpent. (Exodus
7:16) “And you shall say to him,
‘יהוה
the Elohim of the Heḇrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, so
that they serve me in the wilderness,” but see, until now you have not
listened! (Exodus 7:17) ‘Thus said יהוה, “By this you know that I am יהוה. See, I
am striking the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand,
and they shall be turned to blood, (Exodus 7:18)
and the fish in the river shall die. And the river shall stink, and the
Mitsrites shall find it impossible to drink the water of the river.” ’ ” (Exodus 7:19)
And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and stretch out your hand over
the waters of Mitsrayim, over their streams, over their rivers, over their
ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood. And there
shall be blood in all the land of Mitsrayim, both in wooden and in stone containers.’
” (Exodus 7:20) And Mosheh and Aharon did so,
as יהוה
commanded. And he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the
river, in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. And all the
waters that were in the river were turned to blood. (Exodus
7:21) And the fish that were in
the river died, and the river stank, and the Mitsrites were unable to drink the
water of the river. And the blood was in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 7:22)
And the magicians of Mitsrayim did the same with their magic. And the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exodus 7:23)
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and his heart was not moved
by this either. (Exodus 7:24) And all the Mitsrites dug all around the
river for water to drink, for they were unable to drink the water of the river.
(Exodus 7:25)
And seven days were completed after יהוה had struck the river.
YHWH continues to
show Himself Mighty!
(Exodus 8:1)
And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Let my people go, so that they serve me.
(Exodus 8:2)
“But if you refuse to let them go, see, I am smiting your entire border
with frogs. (Exodus 8:3) “And the river shall swarm with frogs, which
shall go up and shall come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your
bed, and into the houses of your servants, and on your people, and into your
ovens, and into your kneading bowls, (Exodus 8:4)
and the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your
servants.” ’ ” (Exodus 8:5) and יהוה said to Mosheh,
“Say to Aharon, and ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over
the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of
Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exodus 8:6) So Aharon stretched out his hand over the
waters of Mitsrayim, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 8:7)
And the magicians did so with their magic, and brought up frogs on the
land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 8:8) Pharaoh then
called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, “Pray to יהוה to take away the frogs from me and from my
people, and I shall let the people go to slaughter to יהוה.” (Exodus 8:9) And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, “Explain yourself
to me: When am I to pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people,
to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, and remain only in the river?” (Exodus 8:10)
So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word,
so that you know that there is no one like יהוה our Elohim. (Exodus
8:11) “And the frogs shall turn
aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your
people – they shall remain in the river only.” (Exodus
8:12) And Mosheh and Aharon went
out from Pharaoh. And Mosheh cried out to יהוה concerning the frogs which He had brought
against Pharaoh. (Exodus 8:13) And יהוה did according to the word of Mosheh. And
the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields.
(Exodus 8:14)
And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. (Exodus 8:15)
And when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and
did not listen to them, as יהוה had said. (Exodus 8:16) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Stretch
out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it becomes gnats in all
the land of Mitsrayim.’ (Exodus 8:17)
And they did so, and Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod and
struck the dust of the earth, and it became gnats on man and beast. All the
dust of the land became gnats in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 8:18)
And the magicians did similarly with their magic to bring forth gnats,
but they were unable. And there were gnats on man and beast. (Exodus 8:19)
The magicians then said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of Elohim!” But
the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said.
(Exodus 8:20)
And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes
out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Let my people go, so that they serve me.
(Exodus 8:21) “Or else, if you do not let my
people go, see, I am sending swarms of flies on you and your servants, and on
your people and into your houses. And the houses of the Mitsrites shall be
filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. (Exodus 8:22)
“And in that day I shall separate the land of Goshen, in which my people
dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, so that you know that I am יהוה in the
midst of the land. (Exodus 8:23) “And I shall put a distinction between my
people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.” ’ ” (Exodus 8:24)
And יהוה
did so, and thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, and into his
servants’ houses, and into all the land of Mitsrayim, and the land was ruined
because of the swarms of flies. (Exodus 8:25) Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon,
and said, “Go, slaughter to your Elohim in the land.” (Exodus
8:26) And Mosheh said, “It is not
right to do so, for we would be slaughtering the abomination of the Mitsrites
to יהוה
our Elohim. See, if we slaughter the abomination of the Mitsrites before their
eyes, would they not stone us? (Exodus 8:27) “Let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness,
and then we shall slaughter to יהוה our Elohim, as He commands us.” (Exodus
8:28) And Pharaoh said, “I am
letting you go, then you shall slaughter to יהוה your Elohim in the wilderness. Only, do
not go very far away! Pray for me.” (Exodus 8:29) And Mosheh said, “See, when I leave you I
shall pray to יהוה, and tomorrow the swarms of flies shall depart from Pharaoh,
from his servants, and from his people. But do not let Pharaoh again deceive,
not to let the people go to slaughter to יהוה.” (Exodus 8:30) And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh and prayed
to יהוה.
(Exodus 8:31)
And יהוה
did according to the word of Mosheh and removed the swarms of flies from
Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained. (Exodus 8:32)
But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time too, and did not let the
people go.
Getting Pharaoh to
admit his sin is difficult- I trust it will be easier for us in our speech and
thoughts of judgment and gossip of others---to REPENT
(Exodus 9:1)
And יהוה said to
Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let my people go,
so that they serve me. (Exodus 9:2) “For if you refuse to let them go, and still
hold them, (Exodus 9:3) see, the hand of יהוה is on
your livestock in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on
the cattle, and on the sheep – a very grievous pestilence. (Exodus 9:4)
“And יהוה shall separate between the livestock of Yisra’ĕl and the
livestock of Mitsrayim, and let no matter die of all that belongs to the
children of Yisra’ĕl.” ’ ” (Exodus 9:5) and יהוה set an
appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow יהוה is going to do this word in the land.” (Exodus 9:6)
And יהוה
did this word on the next day, and all the livestock of Mitsrayim died, but of
the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl, not one died. (Exodus 9:7)
Then Pharaoh sent, and see, not even one of the livestock of the
Yisra’ĕlites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not
let the people go. (Exodus 9:8) And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “Fill your
hands with ashes from a furnace and let Mosheh scatter it toward the heavens
before the eyes of Pharaoh. (Exodus 9:9) “And it shall become fine dust in all the
land of Mitsrayim and it shall cause boils that break out in sores on man and
beast in all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 9:10) So they took ashes from the furnace and stood
before Pharaoh, and Mosheh scattered them toward the heavens. And they caused
boils, breaking out in sores on man and beast. (Exodus
9:11) And the magicians were
unable to stand before Mosheh because of the boils, for the boils were on the
magicians and on all the Mitsrites. (Exodus 9:12) But יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did
not listen to them, as יהוה had said to Mosheh. (Exodus 9:13) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Rise early in the morning
and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, “Let my people go,
so that they serve me, (Exodus 9:14) for at
this time I am sending all my plagues unto your heart, and on your servants and
on your people, so that you know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
(Exodus 9:15)
“Now if I had stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with
pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. (Exodus 9:16)
“And for this reason I have raised you up, in order to show you my
power, and in order to declare My Name in all the earth. (Exodus 9:17)
“You still exalt yourself against my people in that you do not let them
go! (Exodus 9:18) “See, tomorrow about this time I am causing
very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Mitsrayim, from the day
of its founding until now. (Exodus 9:19) “And now send, bring your livestock to
safety, and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on
every man and every beast which is found in the field and is not brought home,
and they shall die.” ’ ” (Exodus 9:20) Those
among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of יהוה made their servants and livestock flee to
the houses. (Exodus 9:21) But those who did not set their heart on the
word of יהוה
left their servants and livestock in the field. (Exodus
9:22) Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand
toward the heavens, and let there be hail in all the land of Mitsrayim – on
man, and on beast, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of
Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 9:23) Then Mosheh stretched out his rod toward the
heavens. And יהוה sent thunder and hail, and fire came down to the earth. And יהוה rained
hail on the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 9:24) Thus there came to be hail, and fire flashing
continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy, such as had not been in all
the land of Mitsrayim since it became a nation. (Exodus
9:25) And the hail smote in all
the land of Mitsrayim all that was in the field, both man and beast. And the
hail smote every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field. (Exodus 9:26)
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Yisra’ĕl were, there
was no hail. (Exodus 9:27) Pharaoh then sent and called for Mosheh and
for Aharon, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. יהוה is
righteous, and my people and I are wrong. (Exodus
9:28) “Pray to יהוה, for there has
been enough of the thunder and hail of Elohim. And I am letting you go, so that
you stay no longer.” (Exodus 9:29) And Mosheh said to him, “As soon as I go out
of the city, let me spread out my hands to יהוה, let the thunder cease and the hail be no
more, so that you know that the earth belongs to יהוה. (Exodus 9:30) “But as for you and your servants, I know
that you do not yet fear before יהוה Elohim.” (Exodus 9:31) And the flax and the barley were smitten, for
the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud. (Exodus
9:32) But the wheat and the spelt
were not smitten, for they were late crops. (Exodus
9:33) And Mosheh went out of the
city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to יהוה, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and
the rain was not poured on the earth. (Exodus 9:34) And Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail,
and the thunder had ceased, yet he sinned again and he hardened his heart, he
and his servants. (Exodus 9:35) And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he
did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go, as יהוה had said through Mosheh.
We are SCATTERED
around the world but being dead dry bones – we are awakened ad coming to LIFE
and becoming His WITNESSES!
(Ezekiel 28:25)
‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “When I have gathered the house of
Yisra’ĕl from the peoples among whom they are scattered, I shall be set-apart
in them before the eyes of the gentiles. And they shall dwell in their own land
which I gave to my servant Yaʽaqoḇ. (Ezekiel 28:26) “And they shall dwell safely, and build
houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell safely, when I execute judgments on all
those around them who despise them. And they shall know that I am יהוה their
Elohim.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 29:1)
in the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of
יהוה came to me,
saying, (Ezekiel 29:2) “Son of man, set your
face against Pharaoh the sovereign of Mitsrayim, and prophesy against him, and
against Mitsrayim, all of it. (Ezekiel 29:3) “Speak, and you shall say, ‘Thus said the
Master יהוה,
“See, I am against you, O Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim, O great monster who
lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, ‘My River is my own, and I, I
have made it for myself.’ (Ezekiel 29:4) “And I shall put hooks in your jaws, and I
shall make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales. And I shall bring you
up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish in your rivers cling to
your scales. (Ezekiel 29:5) “And I shall leave you in the wilderness, you
and all the fish of your rivers. On the face of the field you shall fall, and
you shall not be picked up or gathered. I shall give you as food to the beasts
of the field and to the birds of the heavens. (Ezekiel
29:6) “And all the inhabitants of
Mitsrayim shall know that I am יהוה, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of
Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 29:7) “When they grasped you with the hand, you
broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and made
all their loins shake.” (Ezekiel 29:8) ‘Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I
am bringing a sword upon you and shall cut off from you man and beast. (Ezekiel 29:9)
“And the land of Mitsrayim shall become a desert and a waste. And they
shall know that I am יהוה, because he said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.’ (Ezekiel 29:10)
“Therefore see, I am against you and against your rivers, and shall make
the land of Mitsrayim an utter waste and a desert, from Miḡdol to Sewĕnĕh, as
far as the border of Kush. (Ezekiel 29:11) “No foot of man shall pass through it, or
foot of beast pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited for forty years. (Ezekiel 29:12)
“And I shall make the land of Mitsrayim a desert in the midst of the
lands that are waste. And among the cities that are ruined, her cities shall be
a waste forty years. And I shall scatter the Mitsrites among the nations, and I
shall disperse them throughout the lands.” (Ezekiel
29:13) ‘For thus said the Master יהוה, “At the
end of forty years I shall gather the Mitsrites from the peoples among whom
they were scattered. (Ezekiel 29:14) “And I shall turn back the captivity of
Mitsrayim and I shall bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of
their birth, and there they shall be a lowly reign, (Ezekiel
29:15) being the lowliest of
reigns, and never again exalt itself above the nations. And I shall make them
few so as not to rule over the nations. (Ezekiel
29:16) “And no longer is it to be
the refuge of the house of Yisra’ĕl, bringing to remembrance their crookedness
when they turned to follow them. And they shall know that I am the Master יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 29:17) And it came to be in the
twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the
word of יהוה
came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 29:18) “Son of
man, Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel made his army to serve a great
service against Tsor, every head was made bald and every shoulder worn bare.
But he and his army received no reward from Tsor, for the service he served
against it. (Ezekiel 29:19) “Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, ‘See, I
am giving the land of Mitsrayim to Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel. And
he shall take away her wealth, take her spoil, and remove her pillage. And it
shall be a reward for his army. (Ezekiel 29:20) ‘I have given him the land of Mitsrayim as a
reward for his labor, because they worked for me,’ declares the Master יהוה. (Ezekiel 29:21)
‘In that day I shall make the horn of the house of Yisra’ĕl to spring
forth, while I open your mouth to speak in their midst. And they shall know
that I am יהוה.’
”
Let’s become good,
moldable clay in our Master’s hands! (2Ti 2:19) However, the solid foundation of Elohim
stands firm, having this seal, “יהוה knows those who are His,” Bem. 16:5
and, “Let everyone who names the Name of Messiah turn away from
unrighteous-ness.” (2Ti 2:20) But in a large house there are not only
vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some unto value and some
unto no value. (2Ti 2:21) If, then, anyone cleanses himself from these matters,
he shall be a vessel unto value, having been set apart, of good use to the
Master, having been prepared for every good work. (2Ti
2:22) And flee from the lusts of
youth, but pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with those calling on the
Master out of a clean heart. (2Ti 2:23) But refuse foolish and stupid questions,
knowing that they breed quarrels.
(Rom 9:14) what, then, shall we say? Is
there unrighteousness with Elohim? Let it not be! (Rom
9:15) For He says to Mosheh, “I
shall favor whomever I favor, and I shall have compassion on whomever I have
compassion.” (Rom 9:16) So, then, it is not of him who is wishing,
nor of him who is running, but of Elohim who shows favor. (Rom 9:17) For
the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this same purpose I have raised you up, to
show my power in you, and that My Name be declared in all the earth.” (Rom 9:18) So,
then, He favors whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes. (Rom 9:19)
Then you shall say to me, “Why does He still find fault? Who has
resisted His counsel?” (Rom 9:20) But who are you, O man, to talk back to
Elohim? Shall that which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made
me like this?” (Rom 9:21)
Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to
make one vessel for value and another not for value? (Rom 9:22) And
if Elohim, desiring to show wrath, and to make His power known, with much
patience tolerated the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, (Rom 9:23) and that He might make known the riches of
His esteem on vessels of compassion, which He had prepared beforehand for
esteem, (Rom 9:24) even whom He called, not
only us of the Yehuḏim, but also of the gentiles?

Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle
restart at beginning of months… It
is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone.
I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I
am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never
challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah
will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing
YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to
grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely
should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is
traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern
tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as
a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)
“Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered
northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the
nations take hold, yea, they
shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
