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 continued
at end of this week’s study-
CORRECTION:
Billie and I will be ministering, fellowshipping and teaching in Namibia and South Africa for Yom Kippur, Sukkot and beyond!! Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) the day of repentance and fasting (WEDNESDAY), September 26th, at sundown- until THURSDAY at sundown!
This (Yom Kippur/Atonement) is when we AFFLICT OUR SOULS; which is always Hebraically considered
fasting. (1Jn 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Lev
23:26 and יהוה spoke
to Mosheh, saying, Lev 23:27 “On the tenth day
of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart
gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. (Lev 23:28 “And you do no
work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for
you before יהוה
your Elohim. Lev 23:29 “For
any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his
people. Lev 23:30 “And any being who
does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of
his people. Lev 23:31 “You do no work – a
law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Lev 23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict
your beings. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening,
you observe your Sabbath.” Lev 23:33
and יהוה spoke
to Mosheh, saying, Lev 23:34 “Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, on the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the
Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה. Lev
23:35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile
work. Lev 23:36 ‘For seven days you bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. On
the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring
an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do
no servile work. Lev 23:37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which
you proclaim as set-apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה, a
burnt offering and a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as
commanded for every day – Lev 23:38 besides the
Sabbaths of יהוה, and
besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary
offerings which you give to יהוה.
Also below are two 45 min radio teachings I did about these
Feasts last year!

Loved One, please
share our studies
as YHWH is restoring all to Himself- 115
countries have now read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat Shalom Loved
One! This is nothing we have done-
Mighty is YHWH who loves us and restores
all things! Thanks again Scott in Costa Rica for posting this audio update
along with our weekly study and Brian and Kendra for starting this site years
ago! These are labors of love for YHWH’s Torah and people! These are
the “Days of Awe” loved one, starting with the Feast of Trumpets which was by
most reckonings Monday (9-17-2012) at
sundown! The 10 (Or seven
by some standards which would fit nicely with the 7 bowls of Yahweh’s wrath
poured out after the Last Feast of TRUMPETS and we are GONE!) Days of Awe are days of repentance leading to repentance,
fasting and 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 10th day or evening of the 9th
day counting from Trumpets and will be Thursday evening at sundown. That makes our fasting day- The Day of Atonement on Thursday evening
the 27th and all day the 28th of September
and this year’s Feast of Tabernacles starting on the evening of October 2nd-
which the 7 days ends the evening of the Tuesday the 9th however; HaShana Rabba (THE LAST GREAT DAY) starts that same evening- so
the SEASON OF REJOICING is appropriate and a picture of our future when we will
look around and shout HalleluYAH’S proclaiming – “We made it into the Kingdom
and have entered His joy!”
Below 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!”
Remember the Hebrew idiom “The Day that no man knows the day or the
hour!” (Feast of Trumpets) then 15 days later is the Feast of Tabernacles- Season
of our Joy which we will soon celebrate as written above!
(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.
How do we know when the Biblical year starts and when we are to keep
His Biblically prescribed Feast dates loved one? YHWH put the planets and stars
in their courses for seasons days and years. The moon circles the Earth every
29.54 days so we can only have a 29 day month or a 30 day month- never a 28 or
31 day month like Pope Gregory determined. So YHWH is in control of what time
it is in His universe! Here
is how we determine the real start of the year! (Exodus 12:1) And יהוה spoke
to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, Exodus 12:2) “This
month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for
you. (Just before Passover)
Why is that
of any importance to you and me living today? Because many of the body of
believers have been blinded by the enemy of our souls and still follow vain traditions which are mostly manmade subtractions,
additions and traditions of “Churchianity” handed down from the anything but a “Holy” Roman Empire ruler
Constantine; who was a sun god
worshipper and enforced these “manmade doctrines” with the penalty of death for
rejection. Please understand we should know when the year starts so we can
observe and do His commanded Holy Days (Holidays) and not do vain observations
that He considers abominations. Many
Christians honor all the TRADITIONAL
holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Lent and never consider their pagan roots
which were orchestrated by Rome. Some know that the day of the sun (Sun-day) was rooted from sun god
worship and Easter was the pagan fertility goddess, where the Easter Priests (Not Christians or follower of Messiah) -
would impregnate the virgins on the sunrise service and sacrifice the 3 month
old babies from the prior years' sunrise service, dipping the eggs
of Easter into the freshly sacrificed babies blood and declare- HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE! Have a prosperous and fertile year! This was their form of Happy New Year! Lent was the 40 days of fasting and weeping
for Tamuz followed by killing the pig that killed Tammuz on a hunting
expedition and having that for Easter ham- goodness- Loved Ones-think maybe
these traditions are possibly an abomination to our Creator? He taught us to
NOT LEARN the ways of the heathen and
say we are worshipping Him! (Jeremiah 10:2) Thus said יהוה, “Do
not learn the way of the gentiles, 1
and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by
them.2 Footnotes:
1Lev. 18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph.
4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2Dt. 4:19 & 17:3. He also COMMANDED US: (Deuteronomy
4:2) “Do
not add to the Word
which I command you, and do not subtract from it1, so as to
guard the commands of יהוה your
Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See
also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19. Do you and I suppose he has changed His mind about that; so we think it
okay to ADD these manmade traditions as holy days and
festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT His Feasts and festivals?
Really- Worship in VAIN? Goodness – maybe we should really reconsider Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Loved Ones, should we worship Him the way He says or obey men and our traditions? Is obedience to the Word made flesh that dwelled among us really important? Let’s repeat that; Worship in VAIN? Goodness – maybe we should really reconsider Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Is our own judgment possibly only a heartbeat away? Do we really want to nullify all the promises received from obedience- given in the Word?
Mat
15:3 He answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of
Elohim1 because of your tradition? Footnote: 1See Mat. 5:20. Mat 15:4 “For Elohim has
commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses
father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Mat 15:5 “But you say,
‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received
from me has been dedicated,” Mat 15:6 is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. Mat 15:7 “Hypocrites!
Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, Mat
15:8 ‘This people draw near to me with their
mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Mat 15:9 ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching
as my doctrines- the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa.
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
Obedience is LOVE: (John
14:10) “Do you not believe that I am in the Father,
and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from
myself. But the Father who stays in me does His works. (John 14:11) “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the
Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works themselves. (John 14:12) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes
in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than
these he shall do, because I go to My Father. (John
14:13) “Whatever
you ask in my name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed
in the Son. (John 14:14) “If you ask whatever
in my Name, I shall do it. (John 14:15) “If you love me, you shall guard (keep) my commands.1 Footnote: 1See
Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:16) “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another
Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17)
the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to
receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He
stays with you and shall be in you. (John
14:18) “I
shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19) “Yet a little while, and the world no longer
sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20) “In that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you in
me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who possesses my commands and guards (keeps) them; it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I
shall love him and manifest myself to him.”
Why is this even important to
us today? Because if we cannot determine when the year starts we cannot observe
His commands out of loving obedience!
Do we realize that IN THE BEGINNING
Yahshua (Jesus) was the word
and is the word even at Mt Sinai? Malachi 4 and Hebrews 13:8 testifies that He
changes not and is the same yesterday, today and forever- what part of
“forever” is so difficult for us to understand? The enemy has planted many
tares and blinded many of us into thinking our religious traditions are
acceptable to our King! However; He claims we are worshipping Him in VAIN!
Please let us not use the excuse that those words have passed away because
Yahshua addressed that thought beforehand and leaves us no excuse when we stand
in His presence; (Mat 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, (Torah- Instructions) or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat
5:18) For
verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven. So; is it ALL fulfilled? What is fulfilled were the Spring Feasts of YHWH; He
was and is the Passover Lamb, He is the High Priest who had to be in
seclusion until the First Fruits Offering and could not be touched (“Don’t touch me Mary- I have not yet
ascended to the Father”) then the graves opened and many were seen around
Jerusalem risen from the dead as He was the first of many of the First Fruits
Offering; then on Shavuot (we now call Pentecost) He poured out His
Spirit that His commands would no longer be impossible (burdensome) to keep. These were and are the Spring Feasts he and
we start our year with- they are the shadow picture of things to come. The Fall Feasts
have not yet been fulfilled- we are finally; during our generation,
approaching the Feast of Trumpets and at the LAST TRUMPET, the dead in
Messiah rise first; then 10 days later we have the DAY OF ATONEMENT or
some of us call Judgment Day; then 5 days later we have The Feast of
Tabernacles or Sukkoth when we tabernacle or dwell with Him forever; then
on the eighth day of this Feast we have the LAST GREAT DAY or the
WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB. Once
again; these Fall Feasts are not yet fulfilled. So what does Yahshua
say about this; are there still a heaven and an earth? If there is a heaven and
earth still we are commanded to: (Mat 5:17) think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat 5:18) For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Remember also LOVED
ONES- WE FEAR NOT! We fast and repent
getting rid of our unbelief and replacing it with TRUSTING HIM! (Psalms
20:5) We sing of your deliverance, and in the Name of our Elohim we set up
a banner! יהוה (YHWH) does fill all your requests! (Psalms
20:6) Now I know that יהוה (YHWH) shall save His Anointed; He answers him from His
set-apart heavens with the saving might of His right hand. (Psalms 20:7)
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we remember (trust in) the Name of יהוה (YHWH) our Elohim. (Psalms 20:8) They, they have bowed down and fallen; But we
have risen and are established. (Psalms 20:9) Save us (YHWH)
יהוה! Let
the Sovereign answer us in the day we call.
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures:
Tazria “Leprosy- Conceived”
Leviticus 12:1-13:59; 2 Kings 4:42-5:27; Matthew 8:1-4
Quarantine for a woman giving childbirth
(Lev
12:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Lev 12:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a woman has conceived,
and has given birth to a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days, as
in the days of her monthly separation she is unclean. (Lev
12:3) ‘And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.
(Comment: only in recent years did modern
medicine discover that vitamin K is released into the male’s blood on the 8th
day from birth which coagulated the blood and allows for safe circumcision)
(Lev 12:4)
‘And she remains in the blood of her cleansing thirty-three days. She
does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she does not come into the set-apart
place until the days of her cleansing are completed. (Lev
12:5) ‘But if she gives birth to
a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her monthly
separation, and she remains in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days. (Lev 12:6)
‘And when the days of her cleansing are completed, for a son or for a
daughter, she brings to the priest a lamb a year old, as a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting. (Lev 12:7) ‘And he shall bring it before יהוה, and
make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood.
This is the Torah for her who has given birth to a male or a female. (Lev 12:8)
‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two
turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a
sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be
clean.’ ” (Lev 13:1) And יהוה spoke
to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Lev 13:2) “When a man has on the skin of his body a
swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become on the skin of his body
like a leprous infection, then he shall be brought to Aharon the priest or to
one of his sons the priests. (Lev 13:3) “And the priest shall look at the infection
on the skin of the body. And if the hair on the infection has turned white, and
the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous
infection. And the priest shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean. (Lev 13:4)
“But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not
appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the
priest shall shut up the infected one seven days. (Lev
13:5) “And the priest shall look
at him on the seventh day and see, if the infection appears to be as it was,
and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall shut him up
another seven days. (Lev 13:6) “And the priest shall look at him again on
the seventh day and see, if the infection has darkened, and the infection has
not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a
scab, and he shall wash his garments and be clean. (Lev
13:7) “But if the scab spreads
further over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing,
he shall be seen by the priest again. (Lev 13:8) “And the priest shall look and see, if the
scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is
leprosy. (Lev 13:9) “When the infection of leprosy is on a man,
then he shall be brought to the priest. (Lev 13:10) “And the priest shall look and see, if the
swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair white, and there is a
spot of raw flesh in the swelling, (Lev 13:11) it is an old leprosy on the skin of his body,
and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He does not shut him up, for he is
unclean. (Lev 13:12) “And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin,
and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of the infected one, from his head to
his foot, wherever the priest looks, (Lev 13:13) then the priest shall look and see, if the
leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce the infected one clean. It
has all turned white, he is clean. (Lev 13:14) “But the day raw flesh appears on him, he is
unclean. (Lev 13:15) “And the priest shall look at the raw flesh
and pronounce him to be unclean – the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy. (Lev 13:16)
“Or when the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to
the priest. (Lev 13:17) “And the priest shall look at him and see, if
the infection has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the infected
one clean, he is clean. (Lev 13:18) “And when the body has a boil in the skin,
and it is healed, (Lev 13:19) and in the place
of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then
it shall be seen by the priest. (Lev 13:20) “And the priest shall look and see, if it
appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection which has broken out of the
boil. (Lev 13:21) “But if the priest looks at it and sees no
white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the
priest shall shut him up seven days; (Lev 13:22) and if it has spread further over the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection. (Lev 13:23)
“But if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread, it is the
scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Burns on our
skin- quarantine
(Lev 13:24) “Or when the body receives a burn on its skin
by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn shall become a bright spot,
reddish-white or white, (Lev 13:25) then the
priest shall look at it and see, if the hair of the bright spot has turned
white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out in the
burn. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection. (Lev 13:26)
“But if the priest looks at it and sees there are no white hairs in the
bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest
shall shut him up seven days. (Lev 13:27) “And the priest shall look at him on the
seventh day. If it spreads further over the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection. (Lev
13:28) “But if the bright spot
stays in its place, and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a
swelling from the burn. And the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the
scar from the burn.
Infections on
our skin- quarantine
(Lev 13:29) “And when a man, or a woman, has an infection
on the head or in the beard, (Lev 13:30) then
the priest shall look at the infection and see, if it appears deeper than the
skin, and there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean, it is an eruption, a leprosy of the head or beard. (Lev 13:31)
“But when the priest looks at the infection of the eruption and sees
that it does not appear deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it,
then the priest shall shut up the one with the infection of the eruption
seven days. (Lev 13:32) “And on the seventh day the priest shall look
at the infection and see, if the eruption has not spread, and there is no
yellow hair in it, and the eruption does not appear deeper than the skin, (Lev 13:33)
then he shall shave himself, but the eruption he does not shave. And the
priest shall shut up the one with the eruption another seven days. (Lev 13:34)
“And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the eruption and see,
if the eruption has not spread over the skin, and does not appear deeper than
the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And he shall wash his
garments, and he shall be clean. (Lev 13:35) “But if the eruption spreads further over the
skin after his cleansing, (Lev 13:36) then the priest shall look at him and see, if
the eruption has spread over the skin, the priest need not seek for yellow
hair, he is unclean. (Lev 13:37) “But if the eruption appears to have stayed,
and there is black hair grown up in it, the eruption has healed. He is clean,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean. (Lev 13:38) “And when a man or a woman has bright spots
on the skin of the body, white bright spots, (Lev
13:39) then the priest shall look
and see, if the bright spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is a
white spot that grows on the skin, he is clean. (Lev
13:40) “And when a man loses the
hair of his head, he is bald, he is clean. (Lev 13:41) “And if the hair has fallen from his
forehead, he is bald on the forehead, he is clean. (Lev
13:42) “And when there is on the
bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking
out on his bald head or his bald forehead. (Lev 13:43) “And the priest shall look at it and see, if
the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald
forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body, (Lev 13:44) he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The
priest shall pronounce him unclean, without fail, his infection is on his head.
(Lev 13:45)
“As for the leper who has the infection, his garments are torn, and his
head is uncovered, and he has to cover his upper lip and cry, ‘Unclean!
Unclean!’ (Lev 13:46) “He is unclean – all the days he has the
infection he is unclean. He is unclean, and he dwells alone, his dwelling place
is outside the camp.
Yes even our garments
can carry infection
(Lev 13:47) “And when a garment has an infection of
leprosy in it, in a woolen garment or in a linen garment, (Lev 13:48) or
in the warp or in the weft of linen or wool, or in leather or in any
leather-work, (Lev 13:49) and the infection shall be greenish or
reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the warp or in the weft, or in
any leather object, it is an infection of leprosy and shall be shown to the
priest. (Lev 13:50) “And the priest shall look at the infection and
shut up the infected one seven days. (Lev 13:51) “And he shall look at the infection on the
seventh day. And when the infection has spread in the garment, or in the warp
or in the weft, or in the leather or any leather-work, the infection is an
active leprosy, it is unclean. (Lev 13:52) “And he shall burn that garment, or the warp
or the weft, in wool or in linen or any leather object in which the infection
is, for it is an active leprosy. It is burned with fire. (Lev 13:53)
“But if the priest looks and sees that the infection has not spread in
the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, (Lev 13:54) then the priest shall give command, and
they shall wash that in which the infection is. And he shall shut it up another
seven days. (Lev 13:55) “And the priest shall look at the infection
after it has been washed and see, if the infection has not changed its
appearance, though the infection has not spread, it is unclean, and burn it in
the fire – it is eaten away, in its inside or outside. (Lev
13:56) “And if the priest shall
look and see that the infection has faded after washing it, then he shall tear
it out of the garment, or out of the warp, or out of the weft, or out of the
leather. (Lev 13:57) “And if it is still seen in the garment, or
in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, it is a spreading
infection. Burn it with fire, that in which the infection is. (Lev 13:58)
“And if you wash the garment, or the warp or the weft, or any leather
object, if the infection has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a
second time, and shall be clean. (Lev 13:59) “This is the Torah (Instructions-Law)
of the infection of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp or in
the weft, or in any leather object, to
pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leprosy and
all operations of curses are no respecters of person
(2Ki
4:42) Now a man came from Baʽal Shalishah, and brought the man of Elohim bread
of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in
his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people to eat.” (2Ki 4:43) And
his servant said, “What? Do I set this before one hundred men?” And he said,
“Give it to the people to eat. For thus said יהוה, ‘Eat and have some left over.’
” (2Ki 4:44) and he set it before them, and
they ate and had some left over, according to the word of יהוה. (2Ki
5:1) And Naʽaman,
commander of the army of the sovereign of Aram, was a great man in the eyes of
his master, and highly respected, because by him יהוה had given deliverance to
Aram. And he was a brave man, but leprous.
(2Ki 5:2)
And the Arameans had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a
young girl from the land of Yisra’ĕl, and she served the wife of Naʽaman. (2Ki 5:3) And she said to her mistress, “If only my
master were with the prophet who is in Shomeron! Then he would recover him of
his leprosy.” (2Ki 5:4) And Naʽaman went in and reported to
his master, saying, “Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of
Yisra’ĕl.” (2Ki 5:5) And the sovereign of Aram said, “Go, enter,
and let me send a letter to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.” And he went and took
with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten
changes of garments. (2Ki 5:6) And he brought the letter to the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl, which said, “And now, when this letter comes to you, see I have sent
Naʽaman my servant to you, so that you shall recover him of
his leprosy.” (2Ki 5:7) And it came to be, when the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl read the letter, that he tore his garments and said, “Am I Elohim, to
kill and keep alive, that this man sends a man to me to recover him of his
leprosy? For consider now, and see how he is seeking an occasion with me!” (2Ki 5:8) And
it came to be, when Elisha the man of Elohim heard that the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl had torn his garments, that he sent to the sovereign, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Please let him come to me, so that he knows that there is a prophet
in Yisra’ĕl.”
Please
understand: in these last days we shall operate in the gifts of His Spirit and
walk in His power if we do not reject the gifts available or assign them to the
works of demons: (Luke 11:11) If a son shall ask bread of any of you that
is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he
ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? (Luke 11:12) Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? (Luke 11:13) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask
him? (Comment:
these terms- snakes and scorpions represent the powers or demons and the works
of hell which Yahshua came to destroy!)
(2Ki 5:9) So Naʽaman came with his horses and chariot, and he stood at
the entrance of the house of Elisha.
Simple obedience
brings blessings and removal of curses!
(2Ki 5:10) And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you shall wash seven times in the Yardĕn, that
your flesh might be restored to you, and be clean.” (2Ki 5:11) But
Naʽaman became wroth, and went away and said, “See, I said
to myself, ‘He would certainly come out to me, and stand and call on the Name
of יהוה his
Elohim, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leprosy.’ (2Ki 5:12)
“Are not the Aḇanah and the Pharpar, the
rivers of Dammeseq, better than all the waters of Yisra’ĕl? Could I not wash in
them and be clean?” And he turned and went away in a rage.
Sometimes a
planted word (seed) can produce repentance- which brings healing
(2Ki 5:13) And his servants came near and spoke to
him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had
spoken to you a great matter, would you not have done it? How much more then,
when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” (2Ki
5:14) Then he went down and
dipped seven times in the Yardĕn, according to the word of the man of Elohim.
And his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. (2Ki 5:15) And
he returned to the man of Elohim, he and all his company, and came and stood
before him and said, “See, now I know that there is no Elohim in all the earth,
except in Yisra’ĕl. And now, please take a gift from your servant.” (2Ki 5:16) But
he said, “As יהוה lives,
before whom I stand, I do not accept it.” And he pressed on him to accept it,
but he refused. (2Ki 5:17) Then Naʽaman said, “If not, please
let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth, for no longer is your
servant going to make a burnt offering and slaughtering to other mighty ones,
but to יהוה. (2Ki 5:18) “יהוה grant
forgiveness to your servant in this matter: when my master goes into the house
of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the
house of Rimmon; when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, יהוה,
please grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter.” (2Ki 5:19)
Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” And when he had gone from him some
distance, (Comment:
Wealth and
riches- has power to bring a curse- as the LOVE of money is the root of all
evil! Perhaps we should look at our own hearts and desires- where our
hearts are- there is our TREASURE! Let’s get our transgressions uncovered since
there is no “Hidden” sin- know this our-- sin will find us out- so let’s stay
in a repentant mode loved one.) (2Ki 5:20) But Gĕḥazi, the servant of Elisha the man of Elohim, said to
himself, “Look, my master has spared Naʽaman
this Aramean, while not receiving from his hands what he brought. But as יהוה lives,
I shall run after him and take whatever from him.”
(2Ki 5:21)
And Gĕḥazi pursued Naʽaman. And when Naʽaman saw him running after
him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is there peace?” (2Ki 5:22) And
he said, “Peace. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Look, even now two young men
of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephrayim.
Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’ ” (2Ki 5:23) And Naʽaman
said, “Please accept two talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of
silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his
servants. And they bare them ahead of him. (2Ki 5:24) And when he came to the high place, he took
them from their hand, and stored them away in the house, and let the men go,
and they went. (2Ki 5:25) And he went in and stood before his master,
and Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gĕḥazi?”
And he said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.” (2Ki
5:26) But he said to him, “Did
not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you?
Is it time to accept silver and to accept garments, and olive-trees and
vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male and female servants? (2Ki 5:27) “So let the leprosy of Naʽaman cling to you and your descendants
forever.” And
he went out from him as leprous as snow.
You will never see it YHWH’s will
for sickness to reign in His sons and daughters!
(Mat
8:1) And when He came down from the mountain,
large crowds followed Him. (Mat 8:2) And see, a leper came, and bowed
before Him, saying, “Master, if you desire, you are able to make me clean.” (Mat 8:3) And
stretching out His hand יהושע
touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed!” And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed. (Mat 8:4) And יהושע said to him, “See, and mention it to no one. But go your way, show
yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Mosheh commanded, as a witness
to them.”
My prayer for you loved one- is that we take this
wonderful opportunity to fast and repent! Remember please that fasting AND
prayer removes our UNBELIEF! So we really can ask for what we desire (Biblical)
and it will be given us- not maybe! The Body of Messiah is going through a
great shaking just now so let’s repent of our words spoken and actions
unbecoming the BRIDE- we must choose to do things His way
now. (If we don’t want to be the Bride who makes herself ready- then we can
continue to do things OUR way) Let’s forgive everyone that has done evil to us,
cursed us, and spoken all manner of evil about us. This gives us a right
standing with our Father to pray and bless others- especially those that have
done wickedly in our Father’s eyes against us. Remember, if we hate or do evil
against our brother or sister; Yahushua (Yeshua-Jesus) considers it MURDER- No
murderers will be allowed in the Kingdom- so repentance is required- we confess
our sins one to another that WE may be healed! My prayer is that we take Yahushua’s
words very solemnly and obey and LIVE! Let’s make sure we repent also of words
spoken in hurt or anger against others! Hallelu-YAH! May YHWH bless and direct
you, provide and protect you and your loved ones- wherever they may be!
Loved one, please also continue to pray in agreement with us
for direction, provision, protection and healing for us and many (yours and our
loved ones). Also, please remember to
pray for mine and Billie’s protection and confusion of the enemy as we minister
at these Feasts (and beyond) across South Africa and Namibia. I/we 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.
