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…
Loved one, the Feast of
Trumpets approaches and will be by most reckonings Monday evening (9-17) at sundown! Yah willing we will
be arriving in time to celebrate this feast with loved ones in South Africa!
Please pray for our protection and confusion for the enemy. Hallelu-Yah! This
means for planning purposes the Day of Atonement (Commonly called Judgment Day by many Christians in regard to the final
one) also known as Yom Kippur will be the evening 9th day
counting from Monday evening at sundown. If I am counting correctly that would
make Day of Atonement on the evening of the 26th and all day the 27th
of September and Feast of Tabernacles starting on the evening of the 31st- (October 1) however; since most Feasts
have to be planned way in advance to allow for availability and planning- some
will start on the 29th of September to include the weekend which is okay as we
are not back in Jerusalem and “KEEPING THE FEASTS” we are only still scattered
and practicing obedience best we can. The GOOD NEWS is that we will soon all be
back in Jerusalem KEEPING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES! Only problem I see
regarding that; (Hopefully my
understanding and timing is incorrect) the cleansing of Israel: (Zechariah 13:7) “O sword, awake against My Shepherd, against the
Man who is My Companion,” declares יהוה of hosts. “Smite the Shepherd, and
let the sheep be scattered. But I shall turn my hand upon the little ones. (Zechariah 13:8)
And it shall be throughout all the soil,” declares יהוה, “that two thirds therein
are cut off and die, and one third is left therein. (Zechariah
13:9) “And I shall bring the
third into fire, and refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is
tried. They shall call on My Name1,
and I shall answer them. I shall say, ‘This is my people,’ while they say, ‘יהוה is my Elohim.’ ” Footnote: 1Zeph. 3:9.
Certainly seems we will keep the feasts
(At least Tabernacles) properly when Messiah comes!
(Zechariah
14:16) And it shall be that all who are left from
all the gentiles which came up against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to
year to bow themselves to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival
of Booths (Tabernacles). (Zechariah 14:17) And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans
of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign (King), יהוה of hosts, on them there
is to be no rain.
Above is during the Millennium reign of
Yahshua (Jesus) loved one, so I expect that is a good enough reason for Truth
Searchers like us to start learning obedience in “Keeping the Feasts!”
Here is the Hebrew idiom the Day that no
man knows the day or the hour! (Feast of Trumpets)
(Numbers
29:1) ‘And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month,
you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work, it is a day of blowing
the trumpets for you. (Numbers 29:2) ‘And you shall prepare a burnt offering as a
sweet fragrance to יהוה: one
young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, (Numbers 29:3)
and their grain offering: fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of
an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram, (Numbers
29:4) and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs, (Numbers 29:5) and one male
goat as a sin offering, to make atonement for you, (Numbers
29:6) besides the burnt offering
with its grain offering for the New Moon, the continual burnt offering with its
grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to their right-ruling, as
a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Numbers 29:7)
‘And on the tenth day of this
seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, and you shall afflict
your beings, you do no work. (Atonement-
Yom Kippur)
Here again is the Scripture about intimacy I was
shown we all will need 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.
We must have the power to
remain in Him (We need oil- Ruach HaKodesh for our lamps), 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 Do Not Curse-
remember- we are not allowed to sit on 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. Obedience here breaks hasatan’s cycle of curse off them and us!
Loved One- we need to take stock of what is
happening around the world. Freedom is only given and retained by those who
remain dependent (Obedient) on and to YHWH Almighty. The watchmen seem to be sounding
their trumpets around the world to wake up the Body of Messiah, but much of
His body is sound asleep and despises the watchmen; so our question should be, once
again- are we also asleep? Have our
erroneous preconceived perceptions and extra-biblical traditions taught
by much of this last day’s Laodicean church system around the world- left us
unaware of YHWH’s planned judgment on a disobedient people? Remember- YHWH
judges His “church” first who claim to love Him but worship Him in VAIN;
teaching as His doctrines the commandments of men (extra-biblical traditions).
He warned us; “DO NOT learn the ways of
the heathens” and say we are worshipping (Obeying) Him!
(Amos 3:6) If a Trumpet (ram’s horn) is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If
there is calamity in a city, shall
not יהוה have
done it? (Amos 3:7) For the Master
יהוה
(Yahshua) does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the
prophets. (Amos 3:8) A
lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה has spoken! Who would not prophesy?
(Luke
17:26) “And as it came to be in the days of Noaḥ, so also shall
it be in the days of the (coming of) Son of Aḏam: (Yahshua) (Luke 17:27) “They were
eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noaḥ went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them
all. (Luke
17:28) “And likewise, as it came to be
in the days of Lot: They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying,
they were selling, they were planting, they were building, (Luke 17:29) but
on the day Lot went out of Seḏom it rained fire and
sulphur from heaven and destroyed all.
There is
judgment at the door- for even the righteous who disobey YHWH!
Let’s look at our example given us as judgment on Korah
and even falls on Miriam, Aaron and even Moses for their rebellions and none of
them got to enter the Promised Land: (Numbers 26:9) And the sons of Eliyaḇ: Nemu’ĕl, and Dathan, and Aḇiram. This Dathan and Aḇiram,
were the called ones of the congregation, who contended against Mosheh and
against Aharon in the company of Qoraḥ (Korah), when they contended against יהוה, (Numbers 26:10)
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with
Qoraḥ when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men. And they became a
sign, (Judgment on a rebellious
people)
Are we also
rebelling with our tongues? Let’s Obey and speak a GOOD REPORT! (Numbers 27:22) And Mosheh did as יהוה
commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set him before Elʽazar the priest and before the entire congregation, (Numbers 27:23) and laid his hands on him and
commissioned him, as יהוה
commanded by the hand of Mosheh. (Numbers 26:65)
יהוה had
said of them, “They shall certainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except
Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and
Yehoshua son of Nun. (The two spies with a good report and confession that
agrees with YHWH- NOT the facts reporting were all that entered the Promises!) We
bless and curse not- that allows Yahshua to reign in us-
When we return curse for a curse we are allowing
hasatan to reign in our lives! He will do harm to us and all our loved ones-
make us absolutely miserable, we are allowing demonic hordes against us free
access- let’s consider carefully our words spoken or written about others- YHWH
is not mocked – He can and will repay if we stay stubborn hearted loved one. We
must return a blessing or at least remain silent. YHWH is quite capable of
sitting in the Judgment Seat as He alone knows the actions, intents and purposes
of the heart! With those strong reminders of what we are to report in the storm; let’s
turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah Study and Scriptures!
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Shemeni “Eighth”
Leviticus
9:1- 11:47; 2nd Samuel 6:1-7:17; Acts 10:1-48 (Extended)
(Leviticus
9:1) And on the eighth day it came to be that
Mosheh called Aharon and his sons and the elders of Yisra’ĕl. (Leviticus 9:2)
And he said to Aharon, “Take for yourself a young bull as a sin offering
and a ram as a burnt offering, a perfect one, and bring them before יהוה. (Leviticus 9:3)
“And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Take a male goat as a
sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, perfect ones, as a burnt
offering, (Leviticus 9:4) and a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to
slaughter before יהוה, and a
grain offering mixed with oil. For today יהוה shall appear to you.’ ” (Leviticus 9:5)
And they took what Mosheh commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and all
the congregation drew near and stood before יהוה. (Leviticus
9:6) And Mosheh said, “This is
the word which יהוה
commanded you to do, so that the esteem of יהוה appears to you.” (Leviticus 9:7)
And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Go to the altar, and prepare your sin
offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the
people. And make the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as יהוה has
commanded.” (Leviticus 9:8) So Aharon came near to the altar and
slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for him. (Leviticus 9:9)
And the sons of Aharon brought the blood to him, and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured the blood
at the base of the altar. (Leviticus 9:10) And the fat, and the kidneys, and the
appendage on the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh. (Leviticus 9:11) And the flesh and the skin he burned with
fire outside the camp. (Leviticus 9:12) And he slaughtered the burnt offering, and
the sons of Aharon presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar
all around. (Leviticus 9:13) And they presented the burnt offering to him,
with its pieces and head, and he burned them on the altar. (Leviticus 9:14)
And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them with the burnt
offering on the altar. (Leviticus 9:15) And he brought the people’s offering, and
took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slaughtered it
and made it a sin offering, like the first one. (Leviticus
9:16) And he brought the burnt
offering and made it, according to the right-ruling. (Leviticus
9:17) He also brought the grain
offering, and filled his hand with it, and burned it on the altar, besides the
burnt offering of the morning. (Leviticus 9:18) And he slaughtered the bull and the ram as
peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aharon’s sons presented to him
the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar all around, (Leviticus
9:19) and the fat from the bull and the ram, the fat tail, and the
covering, and the kidneys, and the appendage on the liver, (Leviticus 9:20) and they placed the fat on the
breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar. (Leviticus
9:21) But the breasts and the
right thigh Aharon waved as a wave offering before יהוה, as
Mosheh had commanded. (Leviticus 9:22) Aharon then lifted up his hand toward the
people and blessed them, and came down from making the sin offering, and the
burnt offering, and the peace offerings. (Leviticus
9:23) And Mosheh and Aharon went
into the Tent of Meeting, and came out and blessed the people. And the esteem
of יהוה
appeared to all the people, (Leviticus 9:24)
and fire came out from before יהוה and consumed the burnt offering and
the fat on the altar. And all the people saw and cried aloud and fell on their
faces.
Follow His commands don’t make up our own!
Don’t even grieve for those punished for that!
(Leviticus
10:1) And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu,
the sons of Aharon, each took his fire holder and put fire in it, and put
incense on it, and brought strange fire before יהוה, which
He had not commanded them. (Leviticus 10:2) And fire came out from יהוה and
consumed them, and they died before יהוה. (Leviticus 10:3)
Then Mosheh said to Aharon, “This is what יהוה spoke, saying, ‘By those
who come near me let me be set-apart! And before all the people let me be
esteemed!’ ” And Aharon was silent. (Leviticus
10:4) And Mosheh called to
Misha’ĕl and to Eltsaphan, the sons of Uzzi’ĕl the uncle of Aharon, and said to
them, “Come near; take your brothers from before the set-apart place out of the
camp.” (Leviticus 10:5) So they came near and took them by their long
shirts out of the camp, as Mosheh had said. (Leviticus
10:6) And Mosheh said to Aharon,
and to Elʽazar and to Ithamar, his
sons “Do not unbind your heads nor tear your garments, lest you die, and wrath
comes upon all the people. But let your brothers, all the house of Yisra’ĕl,
bewail the burning which יהוה has
kindled. (Leviticus 10:7) “And do not go out from the door of the Tent
of Meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil of יהוה is
upon you.” And they did according to the word of Mosheh. (Leviticus 10:8)
And יהוה spoke
to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 10:9) “Do not drink wine or strong drink, you, nor
your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, lest you die – a law
forever throughout your generations, (Leviticus 10:10) so as to make a distinction between the
set-apart and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean, (Leviticus 10:11)
and to teach the children of Yisra’ĕl all the laws which יהוה has
spoken to them by the hand of Mosheh.” (Leviticus
10:12) And Mosheh spoke to
Aharon, and to Elʽazar and Ithamar, his sons
who were left, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the offerings
made by fire to יהוה, and
eat it without leaven beside the altar, for it is most set-apart. (Leviticus 10:13)
“And you shall eat it in a set-apart place, because it is yours by law
and your sons’ by law, of the offerings made by fire to יהוה, for
so I have been commanded. (Leviticus 10:14) “And the breast of the wave offering and the
thigh of the contribution you eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and
your daughters with you. For they are yours by law and your sons’ by law, which
are given from the slaughtering’s of peace offerings of the children of
Yisra’ĕl. (Leviticus 10:15) “The thigh of the contribution and the breast
of the wave offering they bring with the offerings of fat made by fire, to
bring as a wave offering before יהוה. And it shall be yours and your
sons’ with you, by a law forever, as יהוה has commanded.” (Leviticus 10:16)
And Mosheh diligently looked for the goat of the sin offering and saw it
was burned up. And he was wroth with Elʽazar and Ithamar, the sons
of Aharon who were left, saying, (Leviticus 10:17) “Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a
set-apart place, since it is most set-apart, and Elohim has given it to you to
bear the crookedness of the congregation, to make atonement for them before יהוה?
(Leviticus 10:18) “See, its blood was not brought inside the
set-apart place. You should have eaten it without fail in a set-apart place, as
I have commanded.” (Leviticus 10:19) And Aharon said to Mosheh, “See, today they
have brought their sin offering and their burnt offering before יהוה, and matters
like these have come to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it
have been right in the eyes of יהוה?” (Leviticus
10:20) And when Mosheh heard
that, it was good in his eyes.
Food and that
not defined as food by YHWH’s word! Not everything is set apart by the word and prayer- it is His word that
sets apart and sanctifies and all our praying against His word won’t overrule
His word and make it clean! (1Ti
4:4) Because every creature of Elohim is
good, and none is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, (1Ti 4:5) for it is set apart by the Word of Elohim and prayer.
(Leviticus
11:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to
Aharon, saying to them, (Leviticus 11:2) “Speak
to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘these are the living creatures which you do eat among all
the beasts that are on the earth: (Leviticus
11:3) ‘Whatever has a split hoof completely
divided, chewing the cud, among the beasts, that you do eat. (Leviticus 11:4)
‘Only, these you do not eat among those that chew the cud or those
that have a split hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a
split hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus 11:5) and the rabbit, because it chews the cud
but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus 11:6)
and the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a split
hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus 11:7) and the pig, though it has a split hoof,
completely divided, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:8)
‘Their
flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do not touch. They are unclean to
you. (Leviticus 11:9) ‘These you do eat of all that are in the waters: any one
that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers that you
do eat. (Leviticus 11:10) ‘But all that have not fins and scales in the
seas and in the rivers all that move in the waters or any living creature which
is in the waters; they are an abomination to you. (Leviticus
11:11) ‘They are an abomination
to you – of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate. (Leviticus 11:12)
‘All that have not fins or scales in the waters are an abomination to
you. (Leviticus 11:13) ‘And these you do abominate among the birds, they are not eaten, they
are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, (Leviticus 11:14)
and the hawk, and the falcon
after its kind, (Leviticus 11:15) every
raven after its kind, (Leviticus 11:16) and
the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
(Leviticus 11:17) and
the little owl, and the fisher owl, and the great owl, (Leviticus
11:18) and the white owl, and the
pelican, and the carrion vulture, (Leviticus
11:19) and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
(Leviticus 11:20) ‘All
flying insects that creep on all fours is an abomination to you. (Leviticus 11:21)
‘Only, these you do eat of every flying insect that creeps on all
fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the
earth. (Leviticus 11:22) ‘These of them you do eat: the locust
after its kind and the destroying locust after its kind and the cricket after
its kind and the grasshopper after its kind. (Leviticus
11:23) ‘But all other flying insects which have four feet is an abomination to
you. (Leviticus 11:24) ‘And by these you are made unclean, anyone touching the carcass of any of them
is unclean until evening, (Leviticus 11:25)
and anyone picking up part of the carcass of any of them has to wash his
garments, and shall be unclean until evening. (Leviticus
11:26) ‘Every beast that has a split hoof not
completely divided, or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Anyone who
touches their carcass is unclean. (Leviticus 11:27)
‘And whatever goes on its paws, among all the creatures that go on
all fours, those are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass is
unclean until evening, (Leviticus 11:28) and he
who picks up their carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until
evening. They are unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:29) ‘And
these are unclean to you among the creeping creatures that creep on the earth:
the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, (Leviticus 11:30) and the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the sand reptile, and the
sand lizard, and the chameleon. (Leviticus 11:31) ‘These are unclean to you among all that
creep. Anyone who touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 11:32) ‘And whatever any of them in its dead state
falls upon, becomes unclean, whether it is any wooden object or garment or skin
or sack, any object in which work is done, it is put in water. And it shall be
unclean until evening, and then it shall be clean. (Leviticus
11:33) ‘Any earthen vessel into
which any of them falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you break it. (Leviticus 11:34)
‘Any of the food which might be eaten, on which water comes, becomes
unclean, and any drink which might be drunk from it becomes unclean.
Handling Dead Things! Do not eat creeping
things!
(Leviticus 11:35) ‘And on whatever any of their carcass
falls becomes unclean – an oven or cooking range – it is broken down. They are
unclean, and are unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:36) ‘But a fountain or a well, a collection of
water, is clean, but whatever touches their carcass is unclean. (Leviticus 11:37)
‘And when any of their carcasses falls on any planting seed which
is to be sown, it is clean. (Leviticus 11:38) ‘But when any water is put on the seed and
any part of any such carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:39)
‘And when any of the beasts which are yours for food dies, he who
touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening. (Leviticus
11:40) ‘And he who eats of its
carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening. And he
who picks up its carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 11:41) ‘And every creeping creature that creeps
on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten. (Leviticus
11:42) ‘Whatever crawls on its
stomach, and whatever goes on all fours, and whatever has many feet among all
creeping creatures that creep on the earth, these you do not eat, for they are
an abomination. (Leviticus 11:43) ‘Do not make yourselves abominable with any
creeping creature that creeps, and do not make yourselves unclean with them,
lest you be defiled by them. (Leviticus 11:44) ‘For I am יהוה
your Elohim and you shall set yourselves apart. And you shall be set-apart, for
I am set-apart. And do not defile yourselves with any creeping creature that
creeps on the earth. (Leviticus 11:45) ‘I am יהוה who is bringing you up out
of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. And you shall be set-apart, for I
am set-apart. (Leviticus 11:46) ‘This is the Torah of the beasts and the
birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature
that creeps on the earth, (Leviticus 11:47) to make a distinction between the unclean
and the clean, and between the living creature that is eaten and the living
creature that is not eaten.’ ”
Desiring
the Presence of YHWH!
(2Sam
6:1) Now
Dawiḏ again gathered all the
chosen men of Yisra’ĕl, thirty thousand. (2Sa 6:2) And Dawiḏ rose up and went with all the people who were
with him from Baʽalĕ
Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim, that is called
by the Name, the Name יהוה of Hosts, who
dwells between the keruḇim. (2Sa
6:3) And they placed the ark of
Elohim on a new wagon, and brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Aḥyo, sons of Aḇinaḏaḇ, were leading the new
wagon. (2Sa 6:4) And they brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill, with the ark of Elohim. And Aḥyo was walking before the ark.
Sometimes in the midst of worship; storms
are sent to “cool” us down by the enemy- we may be tested and found wanting!
(We judge ourselves- Listen and Obey- or we will be judged!)
(2Sa 6:5) And Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl were dancing before יהוה, with
all instruments of fir wood, and with lyres, and with harps, and with
tambourines, and with sistrums, and with cymbals. (2Sa
6:6) And when they came to the
threshing-floor of Naḵon, Uzzah reached out toward
the ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for the
oxen stumbled (Storm/test). (2Sa 6:7) And the wrath
of יהוה burned
against Uzzah, and Elohim smote him there for the fault (Judgment). And he died there by the ark of Elohim. (2Sa 6:8) And
Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had broken out against
Uzzah. And he called the name of the place Perets Uzzah, until this day. (2Sa 6:9) And
Dawiḏ was afraid of יהוה on
that day, and
said, “How shall the ark of יהוה come to me?” (2Sa 6:10) And
Dawiḏ would not move the ark of יהוה with him into the City of
Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ turned it aside to the
house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite. (2Sa 6:11) And
the ark of יהוה
remained in the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite three months,
and יהוה
blessed Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and his entire house. (2Sa 6:12) And
it was reported to Sovereign Dawiḏ, saying, “יהוה has
blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and all that he has,
because of the ark of Elohim.” Dawiḏ then went and brought up
the ark of Elohim from the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the City of Dawiḏ with rejoicing. (2Sa 6:13) And it came to be, when those bearing the ark
of יהוה had
gone six steps, that he slaughtered bulls and fattened sheep. (2Sa 6:14) And
Dawiḏ danced before יהוה with
all his might. And
Dawiḏ was wearing a linen shoulder garment. (2Sa 6:15)
Thus Dawiḏ and all the house of
Yisra’ĕl brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting and with the sound of
the ram’s horn. (2Sa 6:16) And it came to be, when the ark of יהוה came
into the City of Dawiḏ, that Miḵal, daughter of Sha’ul, looked through a window and saw
Sovereign Dawiḏ leaping and dancing before יהוה, and
she despised him in her heart. (2Sa 6:17) So they brought the ark of יהוה in,
and set it in its place in the midst of the Tent that Dawiḏ had pitched for it. And Dawiḏ brought burnt offerings before יהוה, and
peace offerings. (2Sa 6:18) And when Dawiḏ had
finished bringing burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in
the Name of יהוה of
hosts. (2Sa 6:19) And he apportioned to all the people, to all
the crowd of Yisra’ĕl, from man even to women, to each one a loaf of bread, and
a measure, and a cake of raisins. And all the people left, each one to his
house. (2Sa 6:20) And Dawiḏ
returned to bless his household, and Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul
came out to meet Dawiḏ, and said (Mocking the anointed worshiper of YHWH),
“How esteemed was the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl today, uncovering himself today in
the eyes of the female servants of his servants, as one of the foolish ones
shamelessly uncovers himself!” (2Sa 6:21) So Dawiḏ said to Miḵal, “Before יהוה, who chose me instead of
your father and his entire house, to appoint me ruler over the people of יהוה, over
Yisra’ĕl, so I danced before יהוה. (2Sa
6:22) “And I shall be even
slighter than this, and shall be humble in my own eyes. But as for the
female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I am esteemed.” (2Sa 6:23) And
Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul
had no children to the day of her death.
Building the
dwelling place for YHWH! (Now in our
hearts; so we guard our hearts and minds and keep them pure- not allowing junk
to come in through our eye gates and ear gates!)
(2Sa
7:1) and
it came to be when the sovereign was dwelling in his house, and יהוה had
given him rest from all his enemies all around, (2Sa
7:2) that the sovereign said to
Nathan the prophet, “See now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of
Elohim dwells within curtains.” (2Sa 7:3) And Nathan said to the sovereign, “Go, do all
that is in your heart, for יהוה is with you.” (2Sa 7:4) And
it came to be that night that the word of יהוה came to Nathan, saying, (2Sa 7:5) “Go and say to my servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Would you build a house
for Me to dwell in? (2Sa 7:6) “For I have not dwelt in a house since the
time that I brought the children of Yisra’ĕl up from Mitsrayim, even to this
day, but have moved about in a Tent and in a Dwelling Place. (2Sa 7:7)
“Wherever I have walked with all the children of Yisra’ĕl, have I ever
spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, whom I commanded to
shepherd my people Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of
cedar?’ ” ’ (2Sa 7:8) “And now, say to my
servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה of
hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be ruler over
my people, over Yisra’ĕl. (2Sa 7:9) “And I have been with you wherever you have
gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a
great name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth. (2Sa 7:10)
“And I shall appoint a place for my people Yisra’ĕl, and shall plant
them, and they shall dwell in a place of their own and no longer be afraid,
neither shall the children of wickedness oppress them again, as at the first, (2Sa 7:11) even from the day I appointed rulers over
my people Yisra’ĕl, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. And יהוה has
declared to you that He would make you a house. (2Sa
7:12) “When your days are filled
and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you, who comes
from your inward parts, and shall establish his reign. (2Sa
7:13) “He does build a house for
My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever. (2Sa 7:14) “I
am to be his Father, and he is my son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove
him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. (2Sa 7:15)
“But my kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from
Sha’ul, whom I removed from before you. (2Sa 7:16) “And
your house and your reign are to be steadfast forever before you – your throne
is established forever.” ’ ” (2Sa 7:17) According
to all these words; and according to all this vision; Nathan spoke to Dawiḏ.
Note the vision in Acts 10 below
was not saying it is okay to eat unclean food- YHWH was instructing that men
were not unclean that He had cleaned! Note also that this is the Mikveh of the
Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) which alone allows us to be witnesses and produce
fruit that remains! (Act 1:4) And meeting with them, He
commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, 1 “which you have
heard from me – Footnote: 1Lk. 24:49, John
14:16 & 26. (Act 1:5) because Yoḥanan truly immersed in water, but you shall be
immersed in the Set-apart Spirit not many days from now.” (Act 1:6) So
when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Master,
would you at this time restore the reign to Yisra’ĕl?”1 Footnote: 1Lk. 1:33. (Act 1:7) And
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father
has put in His own authority. (Act 1:8) “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart
Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.”
Kind Deeds and fearing YHWH allow the Ruach
HaKodesh to be given!
(Act
10:1) Now there was a certain man in Caesarea
called Cornelius, a captain of what was called the Italian Regiment, (Act 10:2)
dedicated, and fearing Elohim with all his household, doing many kind
deeds to the people, and praying to Elohim always. (Act
10:3) He clearly saw in a
vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of Elohim coming to
him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!” (Act 10:4) And looking intently at him, and becoming
afraid, he said, “What is it, master?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind deeds have come up for a
remembrance before Elohim. (Act 10:5) “And now send men to Yapho, and send for Shimʽon who is also called Kĕpha. (Act 10:6) “He
is staying with Shimʽon,
a leather-tanner, whose house is by the sea.” (Act
10:7) And when the messenger who
spoke to him went away, Cornelius called two of his household servants, and a
dedicated soldier from among those who waited on him continually. (Act 10:8) And
having explained to them all, he sent them to Yapho. (Act
10:9) And on the next day, as
they were on their way and approaching the city, Kĕpha went up on the house-top
to pray, about the sixth hour. (Act 10:10) And he became hungry and wished to eat. But
while they were preparing, he fell into a trance (vision), (Act 10:11) and he saw
the heaven opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four
corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, (Act
10:12) in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heaven. (Act 10:13)
And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Kĕpha, slay and eat.” (Act 10:14)
But Kĕpha said, “Not at all, Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” (Act 10:15)
And a voice came to him again the second time, “What Elohim has cleansed you do not
consider common.”
Again YHWH shows Peter that the vision was not about unclean
food but MEN!
(Act 10:16) And this
took place three times, and the vessel was taken back to the heaven. (Act 10:17)
And while Kĕpha was doubting within himself about what the vision
might mean, look, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having asked
for the house of Shimʽon,
stood at the gate, (Act 10:18) and calling out, they enquired whether Shimʽon, also known as Kĕpha, was staying there. (Act 10:19)
And as Kĕpha was thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him,
“See, three men seek you. (Act 10:20) “But rise up, go down and go with them, not
doubting at all, for I have sent them.” (Act 10:21) So Kĕpha went down to the men who had been
sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Look, I am the one you seek. Why have
you come?” (Act 10:22) And they said, “Cornelius the captain, a
righteous man and one who fears Elohim and well-spoken of by the entire
nation of the Yehuḏim,
was instructed by a set-apart messenger to send for you to his house, and to
hear words from you.” (Act 10:23) So inviting them in, he housed them. And on
the next day Kĕpha went away with them, and some brothers from Yapho went with
him. (Act 10:24) And the following day they entered into
Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his
relatives and close friends. (Act 10:25) And it came to be, that when Kĕpha entered,
Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him. (Act 10:26)
But Kĕpha raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.” (Act 10:27)
And talking with him, he went in and found many who had come together. (Act 10:28)
And he said to them, “You know that a Yehuḏite man is not allowed to associate with, or go
to one of another race. But Elohim has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.1
Footnote: 1See v. 35. (Act 10:29)
“That is why I came without hesitation when I was sent for. So I ask,
why have you sent for me?”
Fasting always rids us of our UNBELIEF and allows us to hear
from Heaven! Also note that this also allowed them to be witnesses as they heard them praying in unknown tongues!
(Act 10:30) And
Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. And at the
ninth hour I prayed in my house, and see, a man (angel) stood before me in shining garments, (Act 10:31) and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and
your kind deeds were remembered before Elohim. (Act 10:32)
‘Now send to Yapho and call Shimʽon
here, who is also called Kĕpha. He is staying in the house of Shimʽon, a leather-tanner, by the sea. When he comes,
he shall speak to you.’ (Act 10:33) “So I sent to you immediately, and you have
done well to come. And now, we are all present before Elohim, to hear all that
you have been commanded by Elohim.” (Act 10:34) And opening his mouth, Kĕpha said, “Truly I see
that Elohim shows no partiality, (No
respecter of persons- Hallelu-Yah!) (Act 10:35)
but in every nation, he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by
Him. (Act 10:36) “He sent the word to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, bringing the Good News: peace through יהושע Messiah! He is Master of
all. (Act 10:37) “You know what word came to be throughout all
Yehuḏah, beginning from Galil after the immersion which Yoḥanan proclaimed: (Act 10:38) how Elohim did anoint יהושע of
Natsareth with the Set-apart Spirit and with power, who went about doing good
and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for Elohim was with Him. (Act 10:39)
“And we are witnesses of all He did, both in the country of the Yehuḏim and in Yerushalayim, whom they even killed by hanging
on a timber. (Act 10:40) “Elohim raised up this One on the third day,
and let Him be seen, (Act 10:41) not to all the people, but to witnesses, those
having been chosen before by Elohim – to us who ate and drank with Him after He
arose from the dead. (Act 10:42) “And He commanded us to proclaim to the
people, and to witness that it is He who was appointed
by Elohim to be Judge of the living and the dead.1 Footnote: 1See 17:31, John 5:29, Ps. 96:13, Ps.
98:9, Rev. 19:11. (Act 10:43) “To this One all the prophets bear witness,
that through His name; everyone believing in Him does receive forgiveness of
sins.” (Act 10:44) While Kĕpha was still speaking these words, the Set-apart
Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. (Act 10:45) And those of the
circumcision who believed were astonished (Jews), as many as came with Kĕpha, because the gift of the
Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also, (Act 10:46) for
they were hearing them speaking with tongues and extolling Elohim. Then
Kĕpha answered, (Act 10:47) “Is anyone able to
forbid water, that these should not be immersed who
have received the Set-apart Spirit – even as also we?” (Act 10:48)
And he commanded them to be immersed in the Name of יהושע
Messiah. Then they asked him to remain a few days.
Loved one, please pray with agreement among us for direction,
provision, protection and healing for us and many of yours and our loved ones. Also, please remember to pray for our
protection and confusion of the enemy. I return that prayer back upon you and
your loved ones! YHWH hears your prayers and according to His word and promise-
you/we have the thing we request! (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 there is much power in agreement with prayer
and fasting! Give thanks and dance before our King like- King David
danced and see the blessings of our Elohim poured out on you and OVERTAKING
YOU! Try as you may obedient and much loved one, you cannot outrun the
blessings of YHWH! Hallelu-Yah! Nothing is more rewarding than having Yahweh’s
blessings OVERTAKE us! HalleluYAH!
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.
