Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
See a short video that encourages and surprises many
at http://stg.do/Iwpc. YHWH is
restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will
be delivered! See “News” found at
http://thetorahtruths.wordpress.com. Why are we 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…

King!
Today I feel an urgent call again to remind us of our
dire need for RELATIONSHIP with our King and our Loved Ones! Once again
Yahweh’s message to me is to talk about intimacy with you Loved One! We MUST
remain in Him and He (the Word) MUST
remain in us. We are here to produce fruit- even if it becomes as a fiery
furnace- as mighty is our Master! (John 15:5)
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who stays (abides) in me, and I in him, he bears
much fruit. Because without me you are able to do naught! (John 15:6) “If anyone does not stay (abide/remain) in me, he is thrown away as
a branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and
they are burned. (John 15:7) “If you stay (abide/remain) in me, and My
Words stay (abide/remain) in you, you shall
ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:8) “In this My Father
is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and you shall be my taught ones. (John 15:9) “As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Stay in
my love. (John 15:10) “If you guard (keep-obey) my commands, you
shall stay in my love, 1 even as I have guarded (keep-obey) My Father’s commands and stay in His love.
Footnote: 1See 14:15. (John 15:11) “These words I have spoken to you, so that my joy
might be in you, and that your joy might be complete. (John 15:12) “This is my command, that you love one
another, as I have loved you.1
Footnote: 1See 13:34, 15:17.
How to get our prayers answered according to Scripture-
EVERY TIME! We must agree with what He has spoken and is speaking to us today!
Anything else out of our mouths (especially
the facts if they don’t agree with Him) is evil in His sight- much like the
10 spies report of the facts that we were like grasshoppers before the giants-
in our eyes and theirs. This is critical that we know and understand this- in
these days. We must learn to give thanks and praise Him no matter how the
“Facts” appear! We will now learn to walk
in His love! (This is what proves we belong to Him) So many of us have been
deceived into thinking it is how well and how much we know Torah but Yahshua
assures us: (John 13:35) By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if you love one another.
Read these Scriptures again and consider them carefully. They
obviously work as Yahshua promised they would accomplish the purpose for which
they were sent! There are two sets of Scriptures that come to
mind--(Mar 11:22) And Yahshua answering, said to them, “Have
belief (faith, trust) in Elohim. (Mar 11:23) “For
truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown
into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he
says, shall be done, he shall have whatever he says. (Mar 11:24)
“Because of this I say to you, whatever you ask when
you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
(Mar 11:25) “And whenever you stand praying, if you
hold whatever against anyone, forgive, so that your Father in the heavens shall
also forgive you your trespasses. So what we say and give thanks for continually!
Stop asking and start thanking Him- continually who continues to ask for what
he already has?
AND why we
are absolutely convinced we have this petition as we all know He loves to be
brought to remembrance (Of His promise)! He says in Isaiah "Put me to
remembrance- let us reason together- here's the Scripture: (Isa 1:18) “Come
now, and let us reason together,” says YHVH “Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be
as wool. (Isa 43:26) Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare
thou that thou maybe justified. (1Jn 5:13) I have written this to you who
believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim (Yahshua- Yeshua etc.), so that you
know that you possess everlasting life, and so that you believe in the Name
of the Son of Elohim. (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. Hallelu-YAH- STAND dear
brothers and sisters- giving thanks and praise no matter how lost the storm in
your face makes you see/think etc. - that is only the enemy trying to steal the
word that is planted. This opposition is guaranteed- why would we not expect
it? Keep planting and watering based on the TRUTH that will never pass away-
The WORD made flesh who dwelt among us and do not be disheartened by the storms
from the facts of giants in the land, facts are temporal and seen, but what is
unseen is eternal- heaven and earth will indeed pass away but YHVH's word will
never pass away- He cannot lie. Loved One- THIS IS GOOD NEWS- our prayers will be
answered based on our thanksgivings--hey- what would we do if we REALLY believed our prayers
were already answered even as we asked as we are promised above? (This is a question Yahshua asked me way
back in 1993. He answered Himself as I’ve written below!)
Here’s His answer for me; “You would give thanks, praising me and dancing a jig before
me!” Then I understood: Do this continually- until the things that are subject to change (FACTS) are changed (manifest physically in our realm) to what we desire and
proclaim! (We DECLARE or proclaim by speaking agreement as all His promises are
YES and Amen or so be it) Rejoice- Again I say- Rejoice! Hey if we are uncomfortable worshipping and
dancing before Him now with surrendered raised hands, how would we ever be
comfortable in the Kingdom? How will we worship Him when it looks as though
things are hopeless? We must draw near NOW and become OVERCOMERS Loved
One!
So it is
our special time to discuss what Father wanted us to consider today. So many
world changing expectations, storms and troubles approaching our age loved one.
Ranging from limited nuclear exchange in Middle East with Israel and Iran; to
parting of our land as Israel is parted, floods, wars, oceans and poles shifting,
raging tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes, financial collapse, fallen angels of
Genesis 6:4 (aliens?) and the list continues. What are we expected do loved
one? Yah help me make this crystal clear: WE FEAR
NOT! If you and I draw close to our King and coming Messiah, listen to what
He says to do and do that- don’t get drawn into fear and frantic
preparations of others unless you prepare based on what He says and you do that
in absolute PEACE- SHALOM! He wants us to remain in Him; to
become intimate with and in Him! Then we can then ask what we wish and
it SHALL be given us! I shared this teaching some time ago but it is a very
timely and excellent study by Tiffany Ann Lewis on the very topic I was told to
address, I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
Tiffany Ann Lewis:
"Knowing Yahweh" - A Love Story
I
recently had the privilege of ministering at a women's conference which had the
title and goal of: Just To Know Him. The last night of the conference
was one of the most amazing nights of worship, in a corporate setting, I have
ever experienced. As the Lord was knocking at the door in the Spirit asking to
come in and sup with us, a prophetic song came forth. He said that in the same
way that we long for Him He longs for us. As much as we desire more of Him, He
desires more of us. As we long to lay our head on His breast, He longs to lay His
head on ours. As we long to know Him, He longs to know us.
The
experience left me longing for the Lord even days after I had returned home.
Unfortunately, the process of catching up after being away was stealing any
serious time for me to be alone with Him. However, as He revealed at the
meeting, my longing is His longing. Therefore, He used a different
method of communion and came to visit me in my sleep.
The
Dream - a Love Story
The
dream was a love story that was so remarkable that I struggle to find words
adequate to convey it to you. Simply said, I was the direct object of the
Beloved's affection and attention and He was the direct object of mine. We were
constantly gazing into one another's eyes; we couldn't bear to be apart.
Throughout
the dream the scenes changed dramatically from the home, to the office, to the
market place, and even to the mountains. These quick changes symbolized not
just the different seasons of life to me but even the different seasons of the
day. Though life was moving on at an incredible pace and the scenes were
changing quickly, one thing stayed consistent...we couldn't take our eyes off
of each other. We would try to part and move on with the tasks at hand, but the
heartache was agonizing and we quickly ran to the embrace once again.
I
heard Song of Solomon 4:9 in my ear: "You have ravished my heart, my
sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one look of your
eyes..." To say that my heart was ravished would be a tremendous
understatement. It makes sense; after all, my Beloved is the Lord Yahshua (Jesus), my glorious knight in shining
armor who rides on a white horse wearing a robe dipped in blood. But that's not
what the Lord wanted me to see. He wanted me to see the look in HIS eye and
see that HIS heart was ravished by me.
In
Hebrew, the phrase "ravished my heart" is just one word: heart.
However here, "heart" is in a form which means to encourage, making
the heart beat faster (Strong's #3823 in the piel form). Think
about that for a moment. When the Creator of the universe looks into your eyes,
it encourages Him and makes His heart beat faster!
Round
and round the dream went as if we were dancing through life (symbolic of the changing scenes) when suddenly the dream
changed dramatically and tremendous fear invaded my heart. An enemy came onto
the scene threatening to kill, rob, and destroy me. With the fierceness of His
namesake, the Lion of Judah sprang into action shielding me from the attack. As
the two fought over me, deep wounds were appearing on my Beloved as "He
was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities..."
(Isaiah 53:5a).
I
screamed and tried to pull Him away, begging Him to stop so we could run away
and be safe. In the midst of the battle, He turned to me fiercely yet tenderly
and I saw the vehement flame of love burning in His eyes (see Song of Solomon
8:6). In that breathtaking moment, I understood John 15:13 as never before
because I experienced the look in His eye: "Greater
love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." Selah.
Intimacy
They
say that the eye is the window of the soul. While that phrase is not expressly
found in the Bible, the concept is; "The eye is the lamp of the body; so
then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light" (Matthew
6:22 NASB). Throughout the Bible the eye is defined not only as the physical
organ providing sight, but it is also used as the spiritual source of sight and
perception. The Hebrew word for eye is 'ayin (pronounced ah-yin; Strong's
#5869).
'Ayin
is also the name of the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The 'ayin has the
ancient pictograph of an eye, thus the sages say the Hebrew letter 'ayin
represents sight and insight. Are you still with me? I hope so
because there is a reason I gave you that quick crash course on Hebrew that is
related to knowing Him. Let me explain.
As
I mentioned at the beginning, the Lord Yahshua sang prophetically to us that
just as we want to know Him – He wants to know us. The Apostle Sha’ul (Paul) confessed, "...I also count
all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Yahshua (Jesus) my Lord, for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain
Christ" (Philippians 3:8). What does it mean to "know" the only
true Elohim, to know Him and the power of His resurrection?
The
Hebrew word meaning "know" which is equivalent to that found in
Philippians is yada' (pronounced ya-dah'; Strong's #3045).
Yada' means: to know, to perceive, to recognize, to be acquainted with, and to
know intimately; for example, "...Adam knew [yada'] Eve his wife, and she
conceived and bore Cain..." (Genesis 4:1). I'm sure some warning bells
just went off, therefore, please allow me to use the well-coined phrase, Intimacy
means "into me see."
A
key component to knowing Yahweh is allowing Him to know you.
Yahshua
Doesn't Want Us to Hide from Him but Rather to Hide In Him
Humanity
was created to walk naked and unashamed before its Creator. Therefore, since
Yahweh uses the natural to reveal the spiritual, I believe that part of knowing
Yahweh and becoming intimately acquainted with Yahweh requires a type of
spiritual nakedness. Part of knowing Yahweh is allowing Him to know you and not
hiding your feelings and your failings from Him. We read in Genesis that after
Adam and his wife ate the forbidden fruit their eyes were opened, so they made
coverings for themselves out of fig leaves in order to hide their nakedness. In
the cool of the day Yahweh came walking in the garden. Being afraid they hid
themselves from their Creator. That's what sin does in our life: It brings us
shame and fear, causing us to hide from Yahweh.
Yahweh
called out and said, "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9b). Did Yahweh not
know where Adam was? He is omniscient. He is the LORD Yahweh of knowledge (El
de'ot Adonai). He knows all persons and things. He knows the hearts of men –
all that they say, all they think, and all they do – yet He called out asking,
"Where are you?" They needed to come out of hiding so that Yahweh
could divinely provide for them what they needed, a blood covering of skin.
The
Bible is eternal, and its every word applies to every individual, under all
conditions, at all times. Thus this is Yahweh's perpetual call to everyone
everywhere in the world, calling to us all to come out and be clothed with
Messiah. Yahshua doesn't want us to hide from Him but rather to hide IN Him.
It may be hard to say to Yahshua
that you feel forsaken, disappointed, or even angry because of the circumstance
that you are in now. It may be even harder to tell Him
about some jealousy, hatred, or habit that you have. You may be afraid He will
reject you, so you keep it bottled up inside. The problem is when we hide our
heart, we hide it from Him. The Lord is not asking that we be perfect, He's
just asking us to open up to Him. As we do, He will give us hope when we are
hopeless. He will strengthen us when we are weak, He will deliver us from our
strongholds, and He will heal us when we are hurt.
For
now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but
then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
Yahshua
is Knocking at the Door of Your Heart – Will You Open the Door and Know Yahweh?
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears
my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he
with me.” Revelation 3:20
In
closing, let's take a look at the Hebrew letters of the word for
"know" – yada'. Because all Hebrew letters have pictographs
they paint a spiritual picture which I believe will bring this revelation to
another level of understanding. Yada' is created with the yud, the dalet,
and the 'ayin. The yud is a picture of a hand and represents power. The
dalet is a door representing an opening or portal. The 'ayin, as we already
learned, is an eye representing physical as well as
intellectual sight and experience. By looking at the pictographs we can see
that knowing or knowledge (yada) paints a beautiful picture of a hand (yud)
opening the door (dalet) to an eye-to-eye ('ayin) encounter
receiving spiritual enlightenment through the experience.
Yahshua
is knocking at the door of your heart, in the Spirit, and wants to know you as
you desire to know Him. It all begins when we put our hand to the door. Will
you open the door and know Yahweh? Amen and Amen.

Okay,
continuing this week’s study loved one, here is the Scripture about this
intimacy I was shown and its intended results for us; (John 15:1) “I am
the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. (John
15:2) “Every
branch in me that bears no fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears
fruit He prunes, so that it bears more fruit. (John
15:3) “You
are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. (John 15:4) “Stay (remain;
abide) in me, and I stay (remain; abide) in
you. The branch is unable to bear fruit of itself unless it stays in the vine;
so neither you, unless you stay in me. (John
15:5) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He
who stays (remains; abides) in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because without me
you are able to do naught! (John 15:6) “If anyone does not
stay (remain; abide) in me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up. And they
gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7) “If you stay
(remain; abide) in me, and my Words
stay (remain; abide) in you, you shall
ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:8) “In this My Father is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and
you shall be my taught ones. (John 15:9) “As the Father has
loved me, I have also loved you. Stay (remain; abide) in my love. (John 15:10) “If you guard my
commands, you shall stay (remain;
abide) in
my love, 1 even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and
stay (remain; abide) in His love. Footnote: 1See
14:15. (John 15:11) “These words I
have spoken to you, so that my joy might be in you, and that your joy might
be complete.
Lastly, we will address the real
and hidden issue that would have the power to keep us from remaining in Him,
the TRUE VINE. (1) His words must
stay in us- we are not allowed to speak facts of the storm or evil report- we
must agree with Yahshua; (2) We must
stay in Him by obeying Him and His commands- we are not allowed to stay in
pagan rituals and evil habits/works- it is called REPENT! (3) We are not allowed to NOT forgive others as there is only one
Torah (Law) giver and one Judge- if we do not obey and forgive others whether
they deserve forgiveness or not, we will not be forgiven- period. Ummmm- that
means we will have failed and be destined to HELL loved one! Not an optimal
forever destination. This is HOW we are
commanded to pray:
(Mat 6:5)
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the
hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the
corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their
reward. (Mat 6:6) “But you, when you
pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is
in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you
openly. (Mat 6:7) “And when praying, do
not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard
for their many words. (Mat 6:8) “Therefore do not be
like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (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 be
done on earth as it is in heaven. (Mat 6:11) ‘Give us today our daily bread. (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.
Bless and we do not curse-
remember we are not allowed to sit in the Judgment Seat!
(Mat 5:43)
“You heard that it was said, 1 ‘You shall love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Footnote: 1Hate
your enemy was “said,” not “written.” (Mat
5:44) “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless
those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting
you and persecuting you, (Mat 5:45) so that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good
and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.1 Footnote: 1Lk.
6:35, Acts 14:16-17. (Mat 5:46) “If you love those
loving you, what reward do you have? Are the tax collectors not doing the same
too?
(Luke 6:26)
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! In the same manner
did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke
6:27) But
I say unto you that hear, love your
enemies, do good to them that hate you, (Luke
6:28) bless
them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.
We bless and curse not as that
allows Yahshua’s Kingdom to reign- when we curse for a curse we are allowing
hasatan to reign in our lives! With
that primary thought imbedded in our thinking, we turn our hearts and minds to
our Torah (Instructions)!
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Pekudey
“Accounts”
Exodus 38:21-40:38; 1 Kings
7:40-8:21; 2 Corinthians 3:7-18; Revelation 15:5-8
He
needs our Temples clean and in order for His dwelling Place Loved One
(Exodus 38:21)
These were the appointments of the Dwelling Place, the Dwelling Place of
the Witness, which was appointed by the command of Mosheh, for the service of
the Lĕwites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aharon the priest. (Exodus 39:1)
And of the blue and purple and scarlet material they made woven garments,
to do service in the set-apart place. And they made the set-apart garments
which were for Aharon, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 39:2) And he made the shoulder garment of gold, of
blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen. (Exodus 39:3)
And they beat out sheets of gold and cut it into threads, to work it in
with the blue and purple and scarlet material, and the fine linen, the
work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 39:4) They made shoulder pieces for it to join it-
it was joined at its two edges. (Exodus 39:5) And the embroidered band of his shoulder
garment that was on it was of the same work of gold, and blue and purple and
scarlet material, and of fine woven linen, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 39:6)
And they made the shoham stones, set in plated work of gold, engraved as
signets are engraved, according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 39:7)
And he put them on the shoulders of the shoulder garment, stones of
remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 39:8)
And he made the breastplate, a work of a skilled workman, like the work
of the shoulder garment, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material,
and of fine woven linen. (Exodus 39:9) It was square they made the breastplate
double, its length a span, its width a span, doubled. (Exodus
39:10) And they filled it with
four rows of stones: a row of ruby, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row; (Exodus 39:11) and the second row a turquoise, a
sapphire, and a diamond; (Exodus 39:12) and the
third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; (Exodus
39:13) and the fourth row a
beryl, a shoham, and a jasper – set in plated work of gold in their settings. (Exodus 39:14)
And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl,
twelve according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own
name according to the twelve tribes. (Exodus 39:15) And they made braided chains of corded work
for the breastplate at the ends, of clean gold. (Exodus
39:16) And they made two settings
of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the
breastplate. (Exodus 39:17) And they put the two cords of gold in the two
rings on the ends of the breastplate. (Exodus 39:18) And the two ends of the two cords they
fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the
shoulder garment in the front. (Exodus 39:19) And they made two rings of gold and put them
on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward
side of the shoulder garment. (Exodus 39:20) And they made two gold rings and put them on
the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it,
close to its seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment. (Exodus 39:21)
And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the
shoulder garment with a blue cord, so that it would be above the embroidered
band of the shoulder garment, and that the breastplate would not come loose
from the shoulder garment, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
(Exodus 39:22) And he made the
robe of the shoulder garment of woven work, all of blue. (Exodus 39:23)
And the opening of the robe was in the middle, like the opening in a scaled
armor, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear. (Exodus 39:24)
And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and
scarlet material, twined. (Exodus 39:25) And they made bells of clean gold, and put
the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between
the pomegranates: (Exodus 39:26) a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a
pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, for the service, as יהוה had commanded
Mosheh. (Exodus 39:27) And they made the long shirt of fine linen,
the work of a weaver, for Aharon and his sons, (Exodus
39:28) and a turban of fine
linen, and the turban ornaments of fine linen, and short trousers of fine woven
linen, (Exodus 39:29) and a girdle of fine woven linen with blue
and purple and scarlet material, the work of an embroiderer, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 39:30) And they made the plate of the set-apart sign
of dedication of clean gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving
of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה. (Exodus 39:31) And they put on it a blue cord, to fasten it
above on the turban, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 39:32) And all the work of the Dwelling Place of the
Tent of Meeting was completed. And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to
all that יהוה
had commanded Mosheh, so they did. (Exodus 39:33) And they brought the Dwelling Place to
Mosheh, the tent and all its furnishings, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and
its columns, and its sockets, (Exodus 39:34) and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and
the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering, (Exodus 39:35)
the ark of the Witness with its poles, and the lid of atonement, (Exodus 39:36)
the table, and all its utensils, and the showbread, (Exodus 39:37)
the clean lampstand with its lamps, the lamps to be put in order, and
all its utensils, and the oil for light, (Exodus
39:38) and the altar of gold, and
the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the Tent door, (Exodus 39:39)
the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its
utensils, the basin with its stand, (Exodus 39:40) the screens of the courtyard, its columns and
its sockets, the covering for the courtyard gate, its cords, and its pegs, and
all the utensils for the service of the Dwelling Place, for the Tent of
Meeting, (Exodus 39:41) the woven garments, to do service in the
set-apart place: the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest, and his sons’
garments, to serve as priests. (Exodus 39:42) According to all that יהוה had commanded Mosheh, so the children of
Yisra’ĕl did all the work. (Exodus 39:43) And Mosheh looked over all the work and saw
they did it as יהוה had commanded, so they had done. And Mosheh blessed them.
Our Incense offering is our prayers and praises loved
one!
(Exodus 40:1)
And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 40:2) “On the first day of the first month, you are
to raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, (Exodus
40:3) and shall put in it the ark
of the Witness, and screen the ark with the veil. (Exodus
40:4) “And you shall bring in the
table and arrange what belongs on it, and bring in the lampstand and light its
lamps. (Exodus 40:5) “And you shall set the altar of gold for the
incense before the ark of the Witness, and put up the covering of the door to
the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 40:6) “And you shall set the altar of the burnt
offering before the door of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, (Exodus 40:7)
and shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and
shall put water therein. (Exodus 40:8) “And you shall set up the courtyard all
around, and shall place the covering of the courtyard gate, (Exodus 40:9)
and shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Dwelling Place and all
that is in it, and shall set it and all its utensils apart, and it shall be
set-apart. (Exodus 40:10) “And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt
offering and all its utensils, and set the altar apart, and the altar shall be
most set-apart. (Exodus 40:11) “And you shall anoint the basin and its
stand, and set it apart. (Exodus 40:12) “And you shall bring Aharon and his sons to
the door of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water. (Exodus 40:13)
“And you shall put the set-apart garments on Aharon, and anoint him and
set him apart to serve as priest to me. (Exodus 40:14) “And you shall bring his sons and put long
shirts on them, (Exodus 40:15) and shall anoint
them, as you anointed their father, and they shall serve as priests to me. And
their anointing shall be for them an everlasting priesthood throughout their
generations.” (Exodus 40:16) And Mosheh did according to all that יהוה had
commanded him, so he did. (Exodus 40:17) And it came to be in the first month of the
second year, on the first day of the month, that the Dwelling Place was raised
up. (Exodus 40:18) And Mosheh raised up the Dwelling Place and
placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up
its columns, (Exodus 40:19) and spread the tent over the Dwelling Place
and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:20)
And he took the Witness and put it into the ark, and he put the poles
through the rings of the ark, and put the lid of atonement on top of the ark, (Exodus 40:21) and brought the ark into the Dwelling
Place, and placed the veil of the covering to screen off the ark of the
Witness, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:22) And he put the table in the Tent of Meeting,
on the north side of the Dwelling Place, outside the veil, (Exodus 40:23)
and set the bread in order upon it before יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:24)
And he put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on
the south side of the Dwelling Place, (Exodus 40:25)
and lit the lamps before יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:26) And he put the gold altar in the Tent of
Meeting in front of the veil, (Exodus 40:27)
and burned sweet incense on it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:28)
And he set up the covering to the door of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 40:29)
And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the Dwelling
Place of the Tent of Meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the
grain offering, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:30) And he put the basin between the Tent of Meeting
and the altar, and put water therein for washing. (Exodus
40:31) And Mosheh, and Aharon,
and his sons washed their hands and their feet with water from it, (Exodus 40:32) as they went into the Tent of Meeting,
and as they came near the altar. They would wash, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. (Exodus 40:33)
And he rose up the courtyard all around the Dwelling Place and the
altar, and placed the covering of the courtyard gate. And Mosheh completed the
work. (Exodus 40:34) And the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and
the esteem of יהוה filled the Dwelling Place. (Exodus
40:35) And Mosheh was not able to
come into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud dwelt on it, and the esteem of
יהוה
filled the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 40:36) And when the cloud was taken up from above
the Dwelling Place, the children of Yisra’ĕl went onward in all their journeys.
(Exodus 40:37)
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the
day that it was taken up. (Exodus 40:38) The cloud of יהוה was on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire
was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Yisra’ĕl, in all their
journeys.
(1Ki 7:40)
And Ḥiram made the pots and the
shovels and the bowls. And Ḥiram completed doing all the work that he was to
do for Sovereign Shelomoh on the House of יהוה: (1Ki
7:41) the two columns, and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of
the columns, and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which
were on top of the columns; (1Ki 7:42) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two
networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two
bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns; (1Ki
7:43) and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; (1Ki 7:44) and the one Sea, and twelve oxen under the
Sea; (1Ki 7:45) and the pots, and the shovels,
and the bowls. And all these utensils which Ḥiram made for Sovereign Shelomoh
for the House of יהוה were of polished bronze. (1Ki 7:46) The sovereign had them cast in clay in the
district of Yardĕn between Sukkoth and Tsarethan. (1Ki
7:47) And Shelomoh left all the
utensils unweighed, because they were many, nor was the weight of the
bronze searched out. (1Ki 7:48) So Shelomoh made all the utensils for the
House of יהוה:
the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread; (1Ki 7:49) and
the lampstands of refined gold, five on the right side and five on the left in
front of the Speaking Place, with the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of
gold; (1Ki 7:50) and the basins, and the snuffers, and the
bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined gold, and the hinges of
gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Set-apart Place, and for
the doors of the house of the Hĕkal (Temple).
(1Ki 7:51)
Thus all the work which Sovereign Shelomoh had done for the House of יהוה was
completed. And Shelomoh brought in the set-apart items of his father Dawid: the
silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the
House of יהוה.
Feast of Tabernacles as YHVH dwells or tabernacles with
men
(1Ki 8:1)
Then Shelomoh assembled the elders of Yisra’ĕl and all the heads of the
tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to Sovereign Shelomoh in
Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of the covenant of יהוה from the City of Dawid, which is
Tsiyon. (1Ki 8:2) And all the men of Yisra’ĕl assembled to
Sovereign Shelomoh at the festival in the month of Ěythanim, which is the
seventh month. (1Ki 8:3) And all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came, and the
priests took up the ark, (1Ki 8:4) and brought
up the ark of יהוה, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the set-apart utensils that
were in the Tent. And the priests and the Lĕwites brought them up, (1Ki 8:5) and Sovereign Shelomoh, and all the
congregation of Yisra’ĕl who had assembled with him, were with him before the
ark, slaughtering so many sheep and cattle, that they could not be counted or
numbered. (1Ki 8:6) And the priests brought in the ark of the
covenant of יהוה to its place, into the Speaking Place of the House, to the Most
Set-apart Place, under the wings of the keruḇim, (1Ki
8:7) for the kerubim spread two wings over the place of the ark, and the
kerubim covered over the ark and its poles. (1Ki 8:8) And the poles extended so that the ends of
the poles were seen from the set-apart place, in front of the Speaking Place,
but they were not seen from outside. And they are there to this day. (1Ki 8:9)
There was naught in the ark, only the two tablets of stone which Mosheh
put there at Ḥorĕb, where יהוה made a covenant with the children of Yisra’ĕl, when they came out
of the land of Mitsrayim. (1Ki 8:10) And it came to be, when the priests came out
of the Set-apart Place, that the cloud filled the House of יהוה, (1Ki 8:11) so that the priests were unable to stand
and perform the service because of the cloud, for the esteem of יהוה filled the House
of יהוה.
(1Ki 8:12)
And Shelomoh said, “יהוה has said He would dwell in the dark cloud. (1Ki 8:13) I
have indeed built you an exalted house, an established place for you to dwell
in forever.” (1Ki 8:14) And the sovereign turned around and blessed
all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl, while all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl was standing. (1Ki 8:15) And
he said, “Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, who spoke with His mouth to my father
Dawid, and with His hand has filled it, saying, (1Ki
8:16) ‘Since the day I brought My people Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, I
have chosen no city from any tribe of Yisra’ĕl in which to build a house for My
Name to be there, but I chose Dawid to be over my people Yisra’ĕl.’ (1Ki 8:17)
“And it was in the heart of my father Dawid to build a house for the
Name of יהוה
Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (1Ki 8:18) “But יהוה said to my father Dawid, ‘Because it has
been in your heart to build a house for My Name, you did well that it was in
your heart. (1Ki 8:19) ‘Only, you do not build the house, but your
son, who is coming from your loins, he does build the house for My Name.’ (1Ki 8:20)
“Now יהוה has established His word which He spoke, and I have been raised
up instead of my father Dawid, and sit on the throne of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה promised,
and built a house for the Name of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, (1Ki 8:21) and have appointed there a place for the
ark, wherein is the covenant of יהוה which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the
land of Mitsrayim.”
Where the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is there is
FREEDOM and VICTORY!
(2Corinthians 3:7)
But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was
esteemed, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl were unable to look steadily at the
face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away, (2Corinthians 3:8) how much more esteemed shall the
administering of the Spirit not be? (2Corinthians 3:9) For if the administering of condemnation had
esteem, the administering of righteousness exceeds much more in esteem. (2Corinthians 3:10)
Indeed what was made esteemed had no esteem in this respect, in view of
the esteem that excels. (2Corinthians 3:11) For if that which is passing away was
esteemed, much more that which remains in esteem. (2Corinthians
3:12) Having then such
expectation, we use much boldness of
speech, (2Corinthians 3:13) and not
like Mosheh, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Yisra’ĕl
should not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. (2Corinthians 3:14)
But their minds were hardened, for to this day, when the old covenant is
being read, that same veil remains, not lifted, because in Messiah it is taken
away. (2Corinthians 3:15) But to this day, when Mosheh is being read, a
veil lies on their heart. (2Corinthians 3:16) And when one turns to the Master, the veil is
taken away. (2Corinthians 3:17) Now
יהוה is the Spirit, and where the Spirit
of יהוה is, there is freedom. (2Corinthians 3:18) And we all, as with unveiled face we see as
in a mirror the esteem of יהוה, are being transformed into the same likeness from esteem to
esteem, as from יהוה, the Spirit.
Yahshua and the Ruach HaKodesh must be allowed- invited
in- for us to be a WITNESS!
(Rev 15:5)
And after this I looked and saw the Dwelling
Place of the Tent of Witness in the heaven was opened. (Rev 15:6) And
out of the Dwelling Place came the seven messengers having the seven plagues,
dressed in clean bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden
bands. (Rev 15:7) And one of the four living creatures gave to
the seven messengers seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of Elohim who
lives forever and ever. (Rev 15:8) And the Dwelling Place was filled with smoke
from the esteem of Elohim and from His power, and no one was able to enter the
Dwelling Place until the seven plagues of the seven messengers were ended.
Loved One, my prayer for you is that we and all our
loved ones CHANGE OUR SPEAKING AND WHAT WE SAY that we may be found in the
truth agreeing with Yahshua- the word made flesh- no matter the particular
trap, scheme or storm sent by the enemy of your souls! Many years ago I asked
the Father “How can I say I’m healed if I am feeling sick? I would feel I was
lying!” He replied with a question also, “Can you lie
if you agree with me, son?” I replied lamely, “Yes I think that would be
a lie.” He quickly and sternly relied, “Anything that
disagrees with my words is a lie, if you disagree with me, son, you are the liar and I am still the
TRUTH!” My simple prayer is that you and we and all our loved
ones REMAIN IN HIS TRUTH! - He indeed is the Way, The Truth and the Life- the
Resurrection power! Please pray for Billie and me as we step out to minister
worldwide again Loved Ones! Thanks you so very much- that you and we are protected,
directed, provided for, and used mightily in these days forward to produce
fruit that remains that pleases our Heavenly Father!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
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.
