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…
HEADS UP LOVED ONES
I go to my last set of IV’s today here in
Mexico and want to update you Loved Ones who have proclaimed my healing and are
standing strong against the devil’s schemes with me! There have been many steps
forward and a few backwards with new pain and swelling for the last 3 to 4
weeks; but I am convinced; albeit still on crutches, I am healed! No enemy of our souls can
stand against Spirit filled Torah Keepers- Hallelu-YAH! I am getting married
Shabbat evening the 16th (Yah willing) in a riverside Hebrew wedding so please
continue your stand with Billie and me against all forces of darkness. Thank
you all for your Heavenly directed prayers and especially those from Steve and
Ramsgate and those of you in South Africa! Thanks also to you who are scattered
through the Americas- what a wonderful family we have- all of you have been so
gracious- the schemes of hell are being vanquished because of you and your
diligent Heavenly directed words! Thank you- Thank You, THANK YOU! You have shown a powerful description of what happens
when the effective fervent prayers of the righteous avail much! Much
Love to all and Shabbat Shalom- T
Last week we added Forgiveness to our
arsenal of vital requirements of our continued submission to our King and His
word (TORAH) ---anyone YOU and I need to forgive still? We must get rid
of unbelief and lack of forgiveness blocks that process- ESPECIALLY if we want
our prayers to be effective!
I must remind us as it is essential for our individual
break thru so necessary today (Hebrews
3:7)
Therefore, as the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if
you hear His voice, (Hebrews 3:8) do not harden your hearts as in
the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9) where your fathers tried me, proved me,
and saw My works forty years. (Hebrews 3:10) “Therefore I was grieved with that
generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not
known my ways.’ (Hebrews 3:11) “As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter into my rest...’ ”1 Footnote: 1Ps. 95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12)
Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of
unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews
3:13) but encourage one another
daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the
deceivableness of sin. (Hebrews 3:14) For we have become partakers of Messiah if we
hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end, (Hebrews
3:15) while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your
hearts as in the rebellion.”
Reminder
why forgiveness is NECESSARY
and why we MUST humble ourselves and submit to YHWH!
(Mat
6:9) “This, then, is the way you should
pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, (Mat 6:10)
let your reign come, let your desire (will)
be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Mat 6:11)
‘Give us today our daily bread. (Provision)
(Mat 6:12) ‘And forgive us our debts, ***as we forgive our debtors. *** (Mat 6:13) ‘And do not
lead us into trial, 1 but deliver us from the wicked one – because yours
is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: 1See
26:41. (Mat 6:14) “For if you forgive
men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you. (Mat 6:15) “But
if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive
your trespasses.
Today I want to address the effectual
fervent prayers of the righteous- YOU!
First let’s look at The Scriptures
version:
(James
5:16)
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, so that you
are healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much. (James 5:17)
Ěliyahu was a man with feelings like us, and he prayed earnestly that it
would not rain. And it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
(James 5:18)
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the land brought
forth its fruit. (James 5:19) Brothers, if anyone among you goes astray
from the truth, and someone turns him back, (James
5:20) let him know that he who
turns a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a life from death and
cover a great number of sins.
Now let’s look first at the KJV: (James
5:16)
Confess your faults one to another, and
pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much. (James 5:17) Elias was a man subject to like passions as
we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three years and six months. (James
5:18) And he prayed again, and
the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. (James 5:19)
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; (James 5:20) Let him know, that he which converteth
the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall
hide a multitude of sins.
I
want us to consider a few points about this teaching given us by Ya’Akov (James):
Point 1- we
MUST confess our own sins and transgressions against YHWH and people to have
our Creators audience.
Point 2 –
only the compassion of the indwelling Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) really
allows us to have fervent and compassionate prayers for others and gives us
confidence that our prayers are not only heard but already answered BEFORE we
actually see the desired results and manifestation. We must pray for one
another which is not natural to the unborn again person but quite natural for
us who are really born again and drawn close to our Master and King Yahshua!
Point 3 –
Elijah was a real man with strengths and weaknesses just like us! Of course “man”
used here is what YHWH created- MAN- male and female man; or we could say man
and man with womb that completes man- WOMAN. Note also the 42 Hebrew
months spoken with this manifestation of great prayer power for the fervent and
diligent may very well be a hidden reminder to us of the overwhelming prayer
power we will experience now and during the 42 months or 3 ½ years of the GREAT
TRIBULATION or Jacob’s Trouble- We WILL DO EXPLOITS IN HIS NAME!
Point 4 -
Diligent and fervent prayer is prayer that is believed and given thanks for
before you actually see the results and maybe even when hasatan shows you
results exactly opposite of the word of YAH you are speaking and confessing
heavenward. We must stand and resist the “facts” that hasatan is guaranteed to
send to steal the word we just planted.
Here are some Scriptures that come to
mind for us to consider:
(James 4:7) So then subject (submit) yourselves to Elohim (Comment: obviously this submission is done
with our tongues and minds- speaking and thinking on His word- and then obeying
it!). Resist the devil1 and he
shall flee from you. Footnote: 1Or
adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to
you. Cleanse 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?
Can we Give Thanks? (Before we see the
desired results- that IS faith and trust!)
(1Jn 5:14) And this is the
boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire,
He hears us. (1Jn 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we
ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
Why
is it so important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?
(Rev 21:7)
He that overcomes
shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death.
We
are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he
purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him… Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a
spirit of fear… (2Ti 1:7) For Elohim has
not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear),
but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).
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 who are described here as this
sounds a lot like 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)
It is our
destiny to seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory
realm; His mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah 29:11)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12) ‘Then
you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you.
(Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And
you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you search for me with all your
heart1. Footnote: 1Dt.
4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14) ‘And I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה, ‘and I
shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the gentiles and
from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’ (Gen 13:17)
"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I
will give it to you." (Eph 5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and
Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isa 60:1) “Arise
and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
I encourage you again to please
consider YHWH’s
POWER
TWINS for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all things are possible for
YHWH, the only
reason they aren’t for you and I is UNBELIEF!
Unbelief or belief is the real TOPIC in the Scriptures
spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according
to Yahshua- YHWH’S
POWER TWINS! If we really
want our prayers answered we must be willing to do YHWH’s requirements. If we
really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and
fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why?
Because, if that is who we become under great fiery trials we have trusted the
power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us!
Could this apply to you and me? NOT IF
we pray and fast and overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and
do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions
are Hebrews or Hebrews thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek
thought. It is about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving
ourselves. It is She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND
OBEY! Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove our
unbelief!
Loved One- CONSIDER: Jacob’s Trouble is
OUR TROUBLE AND TESTS! (And we are learning we can overcome all
plans of hell!)
(Not the Jews only
trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that
you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it
fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more
lasting…say eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be
broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be
pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments
burned up leaving nothing but ash? 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- Our Words direct us! Start
today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use
this prayer!
(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!
(Mat 12:30) “He who is not with me is against me, and he
who does not gather with me scatters abroad. (Mat 12:31) “Because of this I say to you, all sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not
be forgiven men. (Mat 12:32) “And
whoever speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the
Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the
age to come. (Mat 12:32) “And whoever
speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be
forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Mat 12:33) “Either make the tree good and its fruit well,
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!
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.
Please join in with believers worldwide and fast and pray
and receive His INSTRUCTIONS and power Loved One that we escape the traps and
schemes of the devil and still remain standing at His appearing- having
produced much fruit that REMAINS! Hallelu-YAH! WITH
THAT DECISION IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS; let’s turn our hearts to this week’s
Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
Vayechi “And he Lived”
Genesis
47:28- 50:26; 1 Kings 2:1-12; 1 Peter 1:3-9
(Gen 47:28)
And Yaʽaqoḇ lived in the land of
Mitsrayim seventeen years. So the length of Yaʽaqoḇ’s life was one hundred and
forty-seven years. (Gen 47:29) And the time for Yisra’ĕl to die drew near,
and he called his son Yosĕph and said to him, “Now if I have found favor in
your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and show kindness and truth to
me. Please do not bury me in Mitsrayim, (Gen 47:30)
but I shall lie with my fathers, and you shall take me up out of Mitsrayim and
bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I do as you have said.” (Gen 47:31)
And he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him, and Yisra’ĕl bowed
himself on the head of the bed. (Gen 48:1) And after these events it came to be that it
was said to Yosĕph, “See, your father is sick.” And he took with him his two
sons, Menashsheh and Ephrayim. (Gen 48:2) And Yaʽaqoḇ was told, “See, your son
Yosĕph is coming to you.” And Yisra’ĕl strengthened himself and sat up on the
bed. (Gen 48:3)
And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Yosĕph, “Ěl Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the
land of Kenaʽan and blessed me, (Gen 48:4) and said to me, ‘See, I am making you bear
fruit and shall increase you and make of you an assembly of peoples, and give
this land to your seed after you as an everlasting possession.’ (Gen 48:5)
“And now, your two sons, Ephrayim and Menashsheh, who were born to you
in the land of Mitsrayim before I came to you in Mitsrayim, are mine – as Re’uḇĕn
and Shimʽon, they are mine. (Gen 48:6) “Your offspring whom you shall bring forth
after them are yours, and let them be called by the name of their brothers in
their inheritance. (Gen 48:7) “And I, when I came from Paddan, Raḥĕl died
beside me in the land of Kenaʽan on the way, when there was but a little
distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath that is
Bĕyth Leḥem.” (Gen 48:8) And Yisra’ĕl saw Yosĕph’s sons, and said,
“Who are these?” (Gen 48:9) And Yosĕph said to his father, “They are my
sons, whom Elohim has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them
to me, and let me bless them.” (Gen 48:10) And the eyes of Yisra’ĕl were dim with age,
and he was unable to see. And he drew them near him, and he kissed them and
embraced them. (Gen 48:11) And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “I had not
thought to see your face. But see, Elohim has also shown me your seed!” (Gen 48:12) So Yosĕph brought them from between his
knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. (Gen
48:13) And Yosĕph took them both,
Ephrayim with his right hand toward Yisra’ĕl’s left hand, and Menashsheh with
his left hand toward Yisra’ĕl’s right hand, and brought them near him. (Gen 48:14)
And Yisra’ĕl stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephrayim’s
head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Menashsheh’s head, consciously
directing his hands, for Menashsheh was the first-born. (Gen 48:15) And he blessed
Yosĕph, and said, “The Elohim before whom my fathers Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq walked,
the Elohim who has fed me all my life long to this day, (Gen 48:16) the Messenger
who has redeemed me from all evil – bless the youths! And let my name be called
upon them, and the name of my fathers Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq. And let them
increase to a multitude in the midst of the earth.” (Gen
48:17) And when Yosĕph saw that
his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephrayim, it was evil in his
eyes; and he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from the head of
Ephrayim to the head of Menashsheh. (Gen 48:18) And Yosĕph said to his father, “Not so, my
father, for this one is the first-born, put your right hand on his head.” (Gen 48:19)
But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also
becomes a people, and he also is great. And yet, his younger brother is greater
than he, and his seed is to become the completeness of the nations.” (Gen 48:20)
And he blessed them on that day, saying, “In you Yisra’ĕl shall bless,
saying, ‘Elohim make you as Ephrayim and as Menashsheh!’ ” Thus he put Ephrayim
before Menashsheh. (Gen 48:21) And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “See, I am
dying, but Elohim shall be with you and bring you back to the land of your
fathers. (Gen 48:22) “And I, I have given to you one portion above
your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with
my bow.”
The Blessing of Ephraim- (The Lost Sheep of Israel- us!)
(Gen 48:1)
And after these events it came to be that it was said to Yosĕph, “See,
your father is sick.” And he took with him his two sons, Menashsheh and
Ephrayim. (Gen 48:2) And Yaʽaqoḇ was told, “See, your son
Yosĕph is coming to you.” And Yisra’ĕl strengthened himself and sat up on the
bed. (Gen 48:3)
And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Yosĕph, “Ěl
Shaddai (Provider More than
Enough) appeared to me at Luz in the land of Kenaʽan and blessed me, (Gen 48:4) and said to me, ‘See, I am making you bear
fruit and shall increase you and make of you an assembly of peoples, and give
this land to your seed after you as an everlasting possession.’ (Gen 48:5)
“And now, your two sons, Ephrayim and Menashsheh, who were born to you
in the land of Mitsrayim before I came to you in Mitsrayim, are mine – as
Re’uḇĕn and Shimʽon, they are mine. (Gen 48:6) “Your offspring whom you shall bring forth
after them are yours, and let them be called by the name of their brothers in
their inheritance. (Gen 48:7) “And I, when I came from Paddan, Raḥĕl died
beside me in the land of Kenaʽan on the way, when there was but a little
distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath that is
Bĕyth Leḥem.” (Gen 48:8) And Yisra’ĕl saw Yosĕph’s sons, and said,
“Who are these?” (Gen 48:9) And Yosĕph said to his father, “They are my
sons, whom Elohim has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and let me bless them.”
(Gen 48:10)
And the eyes of Yisra’ĕl were dim with age, and he was unable to see.
And he drew them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. (Gen 48:11)
And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “I had not thought to see your face. But
see, Elohim has also shown me your seed!”
(Gen 48:12) So Yosĕph brought them from between his
knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. (Gen
48:13) And Yosĕph took them both,
Ephrayim with his right hand toward Yisra’ĕl’s left hand, and Menashsheh with
his left hand toward Yisra’ĕl’s right hand, and brought them near him. (Gen 48:14)
And Yisra’ĕl stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephrayim’s
head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Menashsheh’s head, consciously
directing his hands, for Menashsheh was the first-born. (Gen 48:15)
And he blessed Yosĕph, and said, “The Elohim before whom my fathers
Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq walked, the Elohim who has fed me all my life long to
this day, (Gen 48:16) the Messenger who has redeemed me from all
evil – bless the youths! And let my name be called upon them, and the name of
my fathers Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq. And let them increase to a multitude in the
midst of the earth.” (Gen 48:17) And when Yosĕph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephrayim,
it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it
from the head of Ephrayim to the head of Menashsheh. (Gen
48:18) And Yosĕph said to his
father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the first-born, put your right hand
on his head.” (Gen 48:19) But his father refused and said, “I know, my
son, I know. He also becomes a people, and he also is great. And yet, his younger brother is greater than he, and his
seed is to become the completeness of the nations.” (Gen 48:20) And he blessed them on that day, saying, “In
you Yisra’ĕl shall bless, saying, ‘Elohim make you as Ephrayim and as
Menashsheh!’ ” Thus he put Ephrayim before Menashsheh. (Gen
48:21) And Yisra’ĕl said to
Yosĕph, “See, I am dying, but Elohim shall be with you and bring you back to
the land of your fathers. (Gen 48:22) “And I, I have given to you one portion above
your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with
my bow.”
Here’s the Prophetic
Destiny of The 12 Tribes!
(Gen 49:1)
And Yaʽaqoḇ called his sons and
said, “Gather together, so that I declare to you what is to befall you in the
last days: (Gen 49:2) “Gather together and
hear, you sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, and listen to Yisra’ĕl your father. (Gen 49:3)
“Re’uḇĕn, you are my first-born, my power and the beginning of my
strength, the excellency of exaltation and the excellency of power. (Gen 49:4)
“Boiling like water, you do not excel, because you went up to your
father’s bed, then you defiled it – he went up to my couch. (Gen 49:5)
“Shimʽon and Lĕwi are brothers; their weapons are implements of
violence. (Gen 49:6) “Let my being not enter their council, let my
esteem not be united to their assembly; because they slew a man in their
displeasure, and they lamed an ox in pleasure. (Gen
49:7) “Cursed be their
displeasure for it is fierce, and their wrath for it is cruel! I divide them in
Yaʽaqoḇ and scatter them in Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 49:8) “You, Yehuḏah, your brothers praise you;
your hand is on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children bow down
before you. (Gen 49:9) “Yehuḏah is a lion’s cub; from the prey you
have gone up, my son! He bowed down, he crouched like a lion. And like a lion,
who does rouse him? (Gen 49:10) “The sceptre shall not turn aside from
Yehuḏah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him
is the obedience of peoples. (Gen 49:11) “Binding his donkey to the vine, and his
donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his robes
in the blood of grapes. (Gen 49:12) “His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth
whiter than milk. (Gen 49:13) “Zeḇulun dwells at the seashore, he is for a
haven for ships, and his border is unto Tsiḏon. (Gen
49:14) “Yissasḵar is a strong
donkey lying down between two burdens, (Gen 49:15) and he saw that a resting place was good, and
that the land was pleasant, and he inclined his shoulder to bear a burden, and
became a subject to slave labor. (Gen 49:16) “Dan rightly rules his people as one of the
tribes of Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 49:17) “Dan is a serpent by the way, an adder by the
path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider falls backward. (Gen 49:18) “I
have waited for your deliverance, O יהוה! (Gen

tree, an offshoot of a fruit-bearing tree by a fountain, his branches run over

arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Yaʽaqoḇ –
from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Yisra’ĕl – (Gen
49:25) from the Ěl of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who
blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that
lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. (Gen 49:26) “The blessings
of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the limit of
the everlasting hills. They are on the head of Yosĕph, and on the crown of the
head of him who was separated from his brothers. (Gen
49:27) “Binyamin is a wolf that
tears, in the morning he eats prey, and at night he divides the spoil.” (Gen 49:28)
All these are the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl, and this is what their
father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his
own blessing. (Gen 49:29) And he commanded them, and said to them, “I
am to be gathered to my people, bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in
the field of Ephron the Ḥittite, (Gen 49:30)
in the cave that is in the field of Maḵpĕlah, which is before Mamrĕ in the
land of Kenaʽan, which Aḇraham bought with the field of Ephron the Ḥittite as
a possession for a burial site. (Gen 49:31) There they buried Aḇraham and Sarah his
wife, there they buried Yitsḥaq and Riḇqah his wife, and there I buried Lĕ’ah
– (Gen 49:32) the field purchased, and the cave
which is in it, from the sons of Ḥĕth.” (Gen 49:33) And when Yaʽaqoḇ ended commanding his sons,
he drew his feet up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his
people.

days. (Gen 50:4) And when the days of weeping for him were

am dying, bury me in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Kenaʽan.”

with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all
the elders of the land of Mitsrayim, (Gen 50:8) and all the house of Yosĕph, and his
brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and
their herds they left in the land of Goshen. (Gen

both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great company. (Gen 50:10)
And they came to the threshing-floor of Ataḏ, which is beyond the
Yardĕn, and they lamented there with a great and very heavy lamentation. And he

50:11) And when the inhabitants
of the land, the Kenaʽanites, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Ataḏ,
they said, “This is a grievous mourning for the Mitsrites.” That is why its
name was called Aḇĕl Mitsrayim, which is beyond the Yardĕn. (Gen 50:12)

field from Ephron the Ḥittite as property for a burial site. (Gen 50:14)
And after he had buried his father, Yosĕph returned to Mitsrayim, he and
his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father. (Gen 50:15)
And when Yosĕph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said,
“What if Yosĕph hates us, and pays us back all the evil which we did to him?” (Gen 50:16)
And they sent word to Yosĕph, saying, “Before your father died he
commanded, saying, (Gen 50:17) ‘This is what
you are to say to Yosĕph, “I beg you, please forgive the transgression of your
brothers and their sin, for they did evil to you.” ’ And now, please forgive
the transgression of the servants of the Elohim of your father.” And Yosĕph
wept when they spoke to him. (Gen 50:18) And his brothers also went and fell down
before his face, and they said, “See, we are your servants.” (Gen 50:19)

comforted them and spoke kindly to them. (Gen 50:22) And Yosĕph dwelt in Mitsrayim, he and his
father’s household. And Yosĕph lived one hundred and ten years. (Gen 50:23) And
Yosĕph saw Ephrayim’s children to the third generation. The children of Maḵir,
son of Menashsheh, were also brought up on Yosĕph’s knees. (Gen 50:24)
And Yosĕph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but Elohim shall certainly
visit you and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to
Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ.” (Gen 50:25) And Yosĕph made the children of Yisra’ĕl
swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring up my
bones from here.” (Gen 50:26) And Yosĕph died, being one hundred and ten
years old. And they embalmed him, and he was placed in a coffin in Mitsrayim.

David dies and leaves instructions also for his seed to receive the blessings!
(1Ki 2:1)
And the days of Dawiḏ drew near to die, and he
commanded Shelomoh his son, saying, (1Ki 2:2) “I am going the way of all the earth. And you shall be
strong, and be a man. (1Ki 2:3) “And guard the Charge of יהוה your Elohim: to walk in His
ways, to guard His laws, His commands, His right-rulings, and His witnesses, as
it is written in the Torah of Mosheh, so that you do wisely all that you do and
wherever you turn; (1Ki 2:4) so that יהוה does establish His word which He spoke
concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons guard their way, to walk before Me in
truth with all their heart and with all their being,’ saying, ‘there is not to
cease a man of yours on the throne of Yisra’ĕl.’ (1Ki 2:5) “And also, you
know what Yo’aḇ son of Tseruyah did to me, and what he did to the two
commanders of the armies of Yisra’ĕl, to Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr and Amasa son of
Yether, that he slew them, and shed the blood of battle in peace, and put the
blood of battle on his belt that was around his waist, and on his sandals that
were on his feet. (1Ki 2:6) “So act according to your wisdom, and do not
let his grey hair go down to the grave in peace. (1Ki
2:7) “But show kindness to the
sons of Barzillai the Gilʽaḏite, and let them be among those who eat at your
table, for so they came to me when I fled from Aḇshalom your brother. (1Ki 2:8) “And
see, with you is Shimʽi son of Gĕra, the Binyamite from Baḥurim, who cursed me
with a grievous cursing in the day when I went to Maḥanayim. But he came down
to meet me at the Yardĕn, and I swore to him by יהוה, saying, ‘I shall not put you to death
with the sword.’ (1Ki 2:9) “And now, do not leave him unpunished, for
you are a wise man and know what you should do to him, and shall bring his grey
hair down to the grave with blood.” (1Ki 2:10) And Dawiḏ slept with his fathers, and was
buried in the City of Dawiḏ. (1Ki 2:11) And the days that Dawiḏ reigned over
Yisra’ĕl was forty years. He reigned seven years in Ḥeḇron, and in
Yerushalayim he reigned thirty-three years. (1Ki 2:12) And Shelomoh sat on the throne of his father
Dawiḏ. And his reign was firmly established.
We are born again into these same great inheritances!
Hallelu-YAH!
(1Pe 1:3)
Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who according to His great
compassion has caused us to be born again to a living
expectation through the resurrection of יהושע Messiah from the dead,
(1Pe 1:4)
to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and
unfading, having been kept in the heavens for you, (1Pe 1:5) who
are protected by the power of Elohim through belief (faith and trust), for a deliverance
ready to be revealed in the last time, (1Pe
1:6) in which you
exult, even though for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by
manifold trials, (1Pe 1:7) in order that the proving of
your belief – much more precious than gold that perishes, and proven by fire –
might be found to result in praise and respect and esteem at the revelation of יהושע Messiah, (1Pe 1:8) whom having not
seen, you love; in whom you exult with unspeakable and esteemed joy, yet not
seeing, but believing, (1Pe 1:9) obtaining the
goal of your belief: a deliverance of lives.

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.
