Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Out of the 12 or so years of doing this study, I am now late 4 times. Sorry; but there was no internet. This study is attached for ease of print and study format- YHWH is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW (Not know about) HIM and call on Him will be delivered- HalleluYAH!  “News You May Not Have Heard” is 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 continued at end of this week’s study-

Last week we learned we must SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH YAHSHUA! Remember; Yahshua reminds us; His words are Spirit and Life. We will not be allowed to have His power if we speak the facts- that disagree with Him- remember the facts (giants in the land) are temporal (temporary) and subject to change whereas His words and agreeing with them are eternal- He reminds us that Heaven and Earth will pass away but His words will remain forever! Hallelu-Yah- walking in a demonstration of His power (which is becoming an ever apparent need) requires a humbling obedience on our parts loved one. Can we even imagine becoming Kings and Priests in the Millennial Kingdom if we won’t even obey Him in this day? We also talked about the Moedim or appointments Yahweh has with His people that we may know the Times and Seasons He would desire us to know about being sober and alert.

(1Th 5:1)  But of the times and the seasons (Moedim-Appointments), brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. (Comment: these times and seasons are the Moedim or appointed Feasts of YHWH, they are designed to help us understand His appointed times so that we will be not be overtaken and surprised and of the “they” that shall not escape!)

(1Th 5:2)  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. (1Th 5:3)  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1Th 5:4)  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (1Th 5:5)  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (1Th 5:6)  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (1Th 5:7)  For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. (1Th 5:8)  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

(1Th 5:9)  For YHWH has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation (deliverance, healing, help) by our Master Yahshua Messiah, (1Th 5:10) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. (1Th 5:11)  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.

These appointed times and seasons have many now starting the annual  Torah “cycle” study over having finished the Fall Feasts of YHWH (Comment: cycle is the word for path in Hebrew, i.e. (Psalms 119:105) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.) As you see, I start over our Torah Cycle when Yahweh starts His year over at AVIV, as I consider this part of His restoration, the ancient path may also be known as a well beaten path since it has been travelled often.

Why do we study in “cycles” or go over and over the same scriptures every year? Our answer is found many places but here is one: We learn and receive truth by HEARING AND HEARING!  That’s what builds our trust and faith as Romans 10:17 instructs us: (Rom 10:13) “Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” (Rom 10:14)  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one proclaiming? (Rom 10:15)  And how shall they proclaim if they are not sent? As it has been written, “How pleasant are the feet of those who bring the Good News of peace, who bring the Good News of the good!”

(Rom 10:16) However, not all obeyed the Good News. Yeshayahu says, “יהוה, who has believed our report?” (Rom 10:17)  So then belief (faith/trust) comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim. (Rom 10:18)  But I ask, did they not hear? Yea indeed, “Their voice went out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” (Rom 10:19)  But I ask, did Yisra’ĕl not know? First Mosheh says, “I shall provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I shall enrage you by an unwise nation.” (Rom 10:20)  And Yeshayahu boldly says, “I was found by those not seeking me, I was made manifest to those not asking for me.” (Rom 10:21)  And to Yisra’ĕl He says, “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and back-talking people.”

There is a folk saying:

“Sticks and stones may break my bones; but words can never hurt me.” NOTHING could be farther from the truth!

(John 6:63)  “It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh does not profit at all. The words that I speak to you are Spirit and are life.¹ Footnote: ¹See v. 68, and 1 Cor. 15:45. Remember we just mentioned His Word and Spirit are in unity. All words are spiritual; agreeing with Yahshua’s words are life and healing to our flesh. Words that disagree with Yahshua are lies no matter the facts. What is SEEN is temporal (temporary and subject to change) what is unseen is eternal (Words of Yahshua) as He spoke above His words are spirit and life. (Mat 5:18)  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.¹ Footnote: ¹Lk. 16:17.

Yahweh formed the worlds with His spoken word! KJV (Hebrews 11:1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:2)  For by it the elders obtained a good report. (Hebrews 11:3)  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of Yahweh, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 

It is becoming ever apparent that as followers of Yahshua and being made in His image; we too, will FRAME OUR WORLDS (In a manner of speech- for our own lives) by agreeing with His words!

(Isa 29:13)  And יהוה says, “Because this people has drawn near with its mouth, and with its lips they have esteemed Me, and it has kept its heart far from Me, and their fear of Me has become a command of men that is taught¹! Footnote: ¹Mt. 15:8-9, Mk. 7:6-7. (Isa 29:14)  “Therefore, see, I am again doing a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder. And the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their clever men shall be hidden.” (Isa 29:15)  Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from יהוה, and their works are in the dark; they say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?” (Isa 29:16)  How perverse of you! Should the potter be reckoned as the clay? Should what is made say of its Maker, “He did not make me”? And what is formed say of Him who formed it, “He did not understand”? (Isa 29:17)  Is it not yet a little while, and Leḇanon shall be turned into garden land, and garden land be reckoned as a forest? (Isa 29:18)  And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom, and out of darkness. (Isa 29:19)  And the meek ones shall increase their joy in יהוה, and the poor among men rejoice in the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl.

Words (especially from Yahweh) are LIFE and DEATH to speak agreement with!

(Deuteronomy 6:4)  “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one! (Deuteronomy 6:5)  “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. (Deuteronomy 6:6)  “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, (Deuteronomy 6:7) and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, (Deuteronomy 6:8) and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. (Deuteronomy 6:9)  “And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

(Rom 10:1)  Truly brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to Elohim for Yisra’ĕl is for deliverance. (Rom 10:2)  For I bear them witness that they have an ardor for Elohim, but not according to knowledge. (Rom 10:3)  For not knowing the righteousness of Elohim, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to¹ the righteousness of Elohim. Footnote: ¹Or did not obey.  (Rom 10:4)  Messiah is the goal¹ of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’ to everyone who believes. Footnote: ¹Or end purpose; not termination. (Rom 10:5)  For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, “The man who does these shall live by them.” (Rom 10:6)  But the righteousness of belief speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah down; or, (Rom 10:7) “‘who shall descend into the abyss?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.

(Rom 10:8)  But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming: (Rom 10:9) that if you confess (speak) with your mouth the Master יהושע (The WORD made flesh who dwells among us) and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Delivered, saved, healed, made whole). (Rom 10:10)  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. (Rom 10:11)  Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.”

He is no respecter of persons but as He told Jeremiah- He is watching over His word to perform it!

(Rom 10:12)  Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him. (Rom 10:13)  “Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.”  (Rom 10:14)  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one proclaiming?

The Ruach will guide us into more truth as we receive the engrafted word and become DOERS of what has been revealed. (Rom 2:13)  Not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the law¹ shall be declared right. Footnote: ¹Mt. 7:21-27, James 2:14-24.

When we receive the engrafted word- we will both submit and obey by our doing or likely we also are deceived or at least prone to hasatan’s attack.

(James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, ¹ which is able to save your lives. Footnote: ¹See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, ¹ deceiving yourselves. Footnote: ¹See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23)  If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25)  But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, ¹ and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: ¹See 2:12.

(James 4:4)  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? ¹ Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: ¹Mt. 13:22, Luke. 4:5-6, Luke. 14:33, Rom. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James 4:5)  Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James 4:6)  But He gives greater favor. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.” (James 4:7)  So then subject (submit- receive and do or SHE’MAH-Hear and Obey) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil¹ and he shall flee from you. Footnote: ¹Or adversary. (James 4:8)  Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9)  Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10)  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11)  Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12)  There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

(Hebrews 11:1) now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Rom 10:17)  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing (Cycle) by the word of YHWH. (Rom 10:18)  I say, have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom 10:19)  I say, did not Israel know? First Moses says I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. (Rom 10:20)  But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. (Rom 10:21)  But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

We now take a fresh look at the Cycles of Scripture as our hearts receive fresh revelation and understanding from hearing and hearing His word.

Loved One- let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah Scriptures!

Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures:   Emor “Say”

Leviticus 21:1-24:23; Ezekiel 44:15-31; 1 Peter 2:4-10

TORAH- the Constitution of the Kingdom

(Leviticus 21:1)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aharon, and say to them: ‘No one is to be defiled for the dead among his people, (Leviticus 21:2) except for his relatives who are nearest to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother; (Leviticus 21:3)  and for his maiden sister who is near to him, who has had no husband – for her he is defiled. (Leviticus 21:4)  ‘A leader does not defile himself among his people, to profane himself; (Leviticus 21:5) they do not make any bald place on their heads, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh. (Leviticus 21:6)  ‘They are set-apart to their Elohim and do not profane the Name of their Elohim, for they bring the offerings of יהוה made by fire, and the bread of their Elohim, and shall be set-apart. (Leviticus 21:7)  ‘They do not take a woman who is a whore or a defiled woman, and they do not take a woman put away from her husband, for he is set-apart to his Elohim. (Leviticus 21:8)  ‘And you shall set him apart, for he brings the bread of your Elohim, he is set-apart to you. For I, יהוה, setting you apart, am set-apart. (Leviticus 21:9)  ‘And when the daughter of any priest profanes herself by whoring, she profanes her father. She is burned with fire. (Leviticus 21:10)  ‘And the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured and who is ordained to wear the garments, does not unbind his head nor tear his garments, (Leviticus 21:11)  nor come near any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother, (Leviticus 21:12)  nor go out of the set-apart place, nor profane the set-apart place of his Elohim, for the sign of dedication of the anointing oil of his Elohim is upon him. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 21:13)  ‘And let him take a wife in her maidenhood. (Leviticus 21:14)  ‘A widow or one put away or a defiled woman or a whore – these he does not take. But a maiden of his own people he does take as a wife. (Leviticus 21:15)  ‘And he does not profane his offspring among his people, for I am יהוה, who sets him apart.’ ” (Leviticus 21:16) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 21:17) “Speak to Aharon, saying, ‘No man of your offspring throughout their generations, who has any defect, is to draw near to bring the bread of his Elohim. (Leviticus 21:18)  ‘For any man who has a defect is not to draw near: a man blind or one lame or disfigured or deformed, (Leviticus 21:19) a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, (Leviticus 21:20) or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch. (Leviticus 21:21)  ‘No man among the offspring of Aharon the priest, who has a defect, is to come near to bring the offerings made by fire to יהוה – he has a defect, he does not come near to bring the bread of his Elohim. (Leviticus 21:22)  ‘He does eat the bread of his Elohim, both the most set-apart and the set-apart, (Leviticus 21:23) only, he does not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profanes my set-apart places. I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ” (Leviticus 21:24) Thus Mosheh spoke to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl. 

More rules of the Kingdom

(Leviticus 22:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 22:2) “Speak to Aharon and his sons, that they separate themselves from the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and that they do not profane my set-apart Name in what they set apart to Me. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:3)  “Say to them, ‘any man of all your offspring throughout your generations who draws near the set-apart offerings which the children of Yisra’ĕl set apart to יהוה, while he has uncleanness upon him, that being shall be cut off from before Me. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:4)  ‘Any man of the offspring of Aharon who is a leper or has a discharge; does not eat the set-apart offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches what is rendered unclean by a corpse, or a man who has had an emission of semen, (Leviticus 22:5) or a man who touches any creeping creature by which he would be made unclean, or any being by whom he would become unclean, even any of his uncleanness; (Leviticus 22:6) the being who has touched it shall be unclean until evening, and does not eat the set-apart offerings, but shall bathe his body in water. (Leviticus 22:7)  ‘And when the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward eat the set-apart offerings, because it is his food. (Leviticus 22:8)  ‘He does not eat that which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:9)  ‘And they shall guard My Charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, when they profane it. I יהוה set them apart. (Leviticus 22:10)  ‘And no stranger eats the set-apart offering. A sojourner with the priest, or a hired servant, does not eat the set-apart offering. (Leviticus 22:11)  ‘But when the priest buys a being with his money, he does eat of it. And one who is born in his house does eat his food. (Leviticus 22:12)  ‘And when a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she does not eat of the set-apart offerings. (Leviticus 22:13)  ‘But when a priest’s daughter is a widow or put away, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she does eat her father’s food, but no stranger eats of it. (Leviticus 22:14)  ‘And when a man eats the set-apart offering by mistake, then he shall give a set-apart offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it. (Leviticus 22:15)  ‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה, (Leviticus 22:16) or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat their set-apart offerings. I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ” (Leviticus 22:17)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 22:18)  “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as a burnt offering, (Leviticus 22:19)  for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats. (Leviticus 22:20)  ‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable for you. (Leviticus 22:21)  ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be accepted, let there be no defect in it. (Leviticus 22:22)  ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to יהוה. (Leviticus 22:23)  ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted. (Leviticus 22:24)  ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land. (Leviticus 22:25)  ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ” (Leviticus 22:26) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 22:27) “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus 22:28)  “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day. (Leviticus 22:29)  “And when you bring a slaughtering of thanksgiving to יהוה, bring it for your acceptance. (Leviticus 22:30)  “It is eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:31)  “And you shall guard my commands and do them. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:32)  “And do not profane my set-apart Name, and I shall be set-apart among the children of Yisra’ĕl. I am יהוה, who sets you apart, (Leviticus 22:33) who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה.”

MORE on Appointed Times of YHWH (Moedim-rehearsals)

(Leviticus 23:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘the appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, my appointed times, are these: (Leviticus 23:3) ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work; it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 23:4)  ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times. (Leviticus 23:5)  ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Passover to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:6)  ‘And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to יהוה – seven days you eat unleavened bread. (Leviticus 23:7)  ‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. (Leviticus 23:8)  ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה for seven days. On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ ” (Leviticus 23:9) and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:10) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. (Leviticus 23:11)  ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it. (Leviticus 23:12)  ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה, (Leviticus 23:13) and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine. (Leviticus 23:14)  ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 23:15)  ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths. (Leviticus 23:16)  ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:17)  ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:18)  ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:19)  ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a peace offering. (Leviticus 23:20)  ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest. (Leviticus 23:21)  ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. (Leviticus 23:22)  ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Leviticus 23:23) and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:24) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a set-apart gathering. (Leviticus 23:25)  ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ” (Leviticus 23:26) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 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. (Leviticus 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. (Leviticus 23:29)  “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. (Leviticus 23:30)  “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people. (Leviticus 23:31)  “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 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.” (Leviticus 23:33)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 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. (Leviticus 23:35)  ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. (Leviticus 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. (Leviticus 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 – (Leviticus 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. (Leviticus 23:39)  ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the fruit of the land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day a rest. (Leviticus 23:40)  ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days. (Leviticus 23:41)  ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month. (Leviticus 23:42)  ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites dwell in booths, (Leviticus 23:43) so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Leviticus 23:44) Thus did Mosheh speak of the appointed times of יהוה to the children of Yisra’ĕl.

More Rules of the Kingdom- Bringing Oil- Learning- Never blaspheming His Name- YHWH!

(Leviticus 24:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 24:2) “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl that they bring to you clear oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually. (Leviticus 24:3)  “Outside the veil of the Witness, in the Tent of Meeting, Aharon is to arrange it from evening until morning before יהוה continually – a law forever throughout your generations. (Leviticus 24:4)  “He is to arrange the lamps on the clean gold lampstand before יהוה continually. (Leviticus 24:5)  “And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it, two-tenths of an ĕphah in each cake. (Leviticus 24:6)  “And you shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before יהוה. (Leviticus 24:7)  “And you shall put clear frankincense on each row, and it shall be on the bread as a remembrance portion, an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus 24:8)  “On every Sabbath he is to arrange it before יהוה continually, from the children of Yisra’ĕl – an everlasting covenant. (Leviticus 24:9)  “And it shall be for Aharon and his sons, and they shall eat it in the set-apart place, because it is most set-apart to him from the offerings of יהוה made by fire – an everlasting law.” (Leviticus 24:10)  And the son of an Yisra’ĕlite woman, whose father was a Mitsrite, went out among the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Yisra’ĕlite woman’s son and a man of Yisra’ĕl strove in the camp. (Leviticus 24:11)  And the Yisra’ĕlite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. So they brought him to Mosheh. Now his mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Diḇri, of the tribe of Dan. (Leviticus 24:12)  And they put him in under guard, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of יהוה. (Leviticus 24:13)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 24:14) “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and all those who heard him shall lay their hands on his head, and the entire congregation shall stone him. (Leviticus 24:15)  “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Anyone who curses his Elohim shall bear his sin. (Leviticus 24:16)  ‘And he who blasphemes the Name of יהוה shall certainly be put to death and the entire    certainly stone him, the stranger as well as the native. When he blasphemes the Name, he is put to death. (Leviticus 24:17)  ‘And he who smites the life from any man shall certainly be put to death. (Leviticus 24:18)  ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, body for body. (Leviticus 24:19)  ‘And when a man inflicts a blemish upon his neighbor, as he has done so it is done to him: (Leviticus 24:20) ‘Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; as he inflicts a blemish upon him, so it is done to him. (Leviticus 24:21)  ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, and he who smites a man to death is put to death. (Leviticus 24:22)  ‘You are to have one right-ruling, for the stranger and for the native, for I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Leviticus 24:23) And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

(Ezekiel 44:15)  “But the priests, the Lĕwites, the sons of Tsaḏoq, who guarded the duty of my set-apart place when the children of Yisra’ĕl went astray from me, they shall draw near to me to serve me, and shall stand before me to bring to me the fat and the blood,” declares the Master יהוה. (Ezekiel 44:16)  “They shall enter my set-apart place, and they shall draw near to my table to serve me, and they shall guard my charge. (Ezekiel 44:17)  “And it shall be, when they enter the gates of the inner courtyard that they put on linen garments and no wool shall come upon them while they attend within the gates of the inner courtyard or within the house. (Ezekiel 44:18)  “They shall have linen (Highest frequency material) turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not gird themselves with sweat. (Ezekiel 44:19)  “And when they go out to the outer courtyard, to the outer courtyard to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have attended, and shall leave them in the set-apart rooms, and shall put on other garments. And they shall set apart the people in their set-apart garments. (Ezekiel 44:20)  “And their heads they shall not shave, nor shall they let their hair grow long – they shall keep their hair well-trimmed. (Ezekiel 44:21)  “And no priest is to drink wine when he comes into the inner court. (Ezekiel 44:22)  “And they do not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take maidens of the seed of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or widows of priests. (Ezekiel 44:23)  “And they are to teach my people the difference between the set-apart and the profane, and make them know what is unclean and clean. (Ezekiel 44:24)  “And they are to stand as judges in a dispute, and judge it according to my right-rulings. And they are to guard My Torot and my laws in all my appointed festivals, and set apart My Sabbaths. (Ezekiel 44:25)  “And they are not to defile themselves by coming near a dead man. Only for a father or mother, for a son or daughter, for a brother or unmarried sister they defile themselves. (Ezekiel 44:26)  “And after his cleansing, they count seven days for him, (Ezekiel 44:27)  and on the day that he comes into the inner court of the set-apart place to attend in the set-apart place, he brings his sin offering,” declares the Master יהוה. (Ezekiel 44:28)  “And it shall be to them for an inheritance, I am their inheritance. And you give them no possession in Yisra’ĕl – I am their possession. (Ezekiel 44:29)  “The grain offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering they are to eat, and all that is dedicated in Yisra’ĕl is theirs. (Ezekiel 44:30)  “And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every contribution of all, of all your contributions, belong to the priests. And the first of your ground meal you give to the priest, so that a blessing rests on your house. (Ezekiel 44:31)  “The priests are not to eat any bird or beast found dead or torn to pieces.

Making ourselves ready – washing in the water of the word- becoming the BRIDE without spot or blemish- living stones...a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

(1Pe 2:1)  Having put aside, then, all evil, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envying’s, and all evil words, (1Pe 2:2)  as newborn babes, desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, in order that you grow by it, (1Pe 2:3)  if indeed you have tasted that the Master is good. (1Pe 2:4)  Drawing near to Him, a living Stone – rejected indeed by men, but chosen by Elohim and precious – (1Pe 2:5) you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a set-apart priesthood, to offer up spiritual slaughter offerings acceptable to Elohim through יהושע Messiah. (1Pe 2:6)  Because it is contained in the Scripture, “See, I lay in Tsiyon a chief corner-stone, chosen, precious, and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame.”¹ Footnote: ¹Isa. 28:16. (1Pe 2:7) this preciousness, then, is for you who believe; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner-stone,”¹ Footnote: ¹Ps. 118:22. (1Pe 2:8) and “A stone of stumbling and a rock that makes for falling,”¹ who stumble because they are disobedient² to the Word, to which they also were appointed. Footnotes: ¹Isa. 8:14. ²See John 3:36, Heb. 3:18. (1Pe 2:9)  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, (1Pe 2:10)  who once were not a people, but now the people of Elohim; who had not obtained compassion, but now obtained compassion.

Loved One, my prayer for you and all your loved ones and for our loved ones is that whatever it takes; whether an angel or person, that YHWH sends workers to bring these all to REPENTANCE and gathers us into His harvest. Therefore, we put aside all manner and avenues of deceit, evil, envying’s, and evil words that report apparent facts but disagree with His word and drink the pure word of YHWH and draw near to Him who made Heaven and Earth and all that is seen and unseen! This life is quite temporary in this flesh body so knowing this let’s live our lives that we may believe YHWH- that if we ask ANYTHING that is according to His word, and we know He hears us; we KNOW we have the things we have asked for! Hallelu-YAH! (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. (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! I pray also that you walk in Him and produce His fruit that remains! (1Co 2:1)  And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1Co 2:2)  For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1Co 2:3)  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1Co 2:4)  And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1Co 2:5) in order that your belief/trust should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim. I further pray that you learn to walk in His supernatural gifts by faith and trust and further that you walk in obedience and so in love with the Messiah that you FEAR NOT! Thanks for your timely prayers for us that we also walk in His power, love and obedience; and that YHWH directs, provides, and protects us also along with our loved ones! Billie and I believe those wonderful prayers are seeds for your own loved ones- PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS COMING! HALLELU-YAH! You are much loved!

Shalom again to your home Loved One!

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.
