Shabbat Shalom
Loved One! (This
study is attached and available at the website below)
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com video/audio
presentations to help us trust our Messiah!
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!
Loved One, did we really
believe that the political process would bring us deliverance when evil men
rule (perhaps along with Yahshua’s promised arrival of
Nephilim) and
control our world today? (Yahshua promised it would be as the Days
of Noah- with fallen angels mating with women as in Genesis 6:4 and the world
and its occupants becoming more evil to some of our bewilderment and unbelief!)
My continued prayer for you and all your loved ones and yes- Billie and me and
our loved ones is that whatever it takes, whether an angel or person, that YHWH
sends workers (angels or people as both are fine) to bring us all to REPENTANCE and GIVES US HIS POWER (Or more specifically empowers us to RECEIVE what
He has already given us in Luke 10:19) to overcome all the power of hell and
then gathers us into His harvest. That we take serious these days and MAKE OURSELVES READY as His
bride!
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.
Now OBSERVE the promise of Yahweh for a nation like us (USA) that disobeys
His commands and follows after their own ways! I have placed the script in red
because Yahshua is this commanded word:
(John 1:1) In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. (John 1:2) He was in the beginning with Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to be through Him, 1 and without Him not
even one came to be that came to be. Footnote: 1Eph.
3:9, Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:2, Heb. 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Ps. 33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has
not overcome it.
Many of you
realize that in the Bible code in Hebrew every 70th letter spells
TORAH (instructions not LAW) in Genesis and Exodus pointing to Leviticus and
every 70th letter in Numbers and Deuteronomy spell Torah backwards
pointing to Leviticus- while Leviticus spells Yahshua (Jesus) in Hebrew every 7
letters! I suspect the Creator of the Universe wants us to understand who He
really is! I
have posted these promises to us in the USA in red by Yahshua!
(Lev 26:14) ‘But if you
do not obey Me, and do not do all these commands, (Lev 26:15) and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My
right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but break My covenant, (Lev 26:16) I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm
over you, wasting disease and inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming
the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
(Lev 26:17)
‘And I shall set my face against you, and
you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those who hate you shall rule
over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Lev 26:18) ‘And after all this, if you do not obey me, then I shall
punish you seven times more for your sins. (Lev
26:19) ‘And
I shall break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron
and your earth like bronze. (Lev 26:20) ‘And your
strength shall be spent in vain and your land will not yield its crops, nor do
the trees of the land yield their fruit. (Lev
26:21) ‘And
if you walk contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven
times more plagues, according to your sins, (Lev
26:22) and
send wild beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I
shall cut off your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways
shall be deserted. (Lev 26:23) ‘And if you are
not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:24) then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I myself
shall smite you seven times for your sins. (Lev
26:25) ‘And
I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of my covenant, and
you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among
you, and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy. (Lev 26:26) ‘When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by
weight and you shall eat and not be satisfied. (Lev
26:27) ‘And
if in spite of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:28) then I shall
walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven times for
your sins. (Lev 26:29) ‘And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Lev 26:30) ‘And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your
sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols. And my
being shall loathe you. (Lev 26:31) ‘And I shall turn
your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and not smell your
sweet fragrances. (Lev 26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your enemies who
dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Lev
26:33) ‘And
I shall scatter you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your
land shall be desert and your cities ruins, (Lev
26:34) and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as
long as it lays waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would
rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. (Lev 26:35) ‘As long as it lays waste it rests, for the
time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it. (Lev 26:36) ‘And as for those of you who are left, I shall send
faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And they shall flee as though retreating
from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. (Lev 26:37) ‘And they shall stumble over one another, as from before
a sword, when no one pursues. And you shall be unable to stand before your
enemies. (Lev 26:38) ‘And you shall
perish among the gentiles, (Heathen)
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up,
(Lev 26:39)
and those of you who are left rot away in
their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in their fathers’
crookednesses rot away with them. (Lev 26:40) ‘But if they confess their crookedness and the crookedness
of their fathers, with their trespass in which they trespassed against me, and
that they also have walked contrary to me, (Lev 26:41) and that I
also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their
enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the
punishment of their crookedness, (Lev 26:42) then I shall
remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and
also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land. (Lev 26:43) ‘For the land was abandoned by them, and
enjoying its Sabbaths while lying waste without them, and they were paying for
their crookedness, because they rejected my right-rulings and because their
being loathed my laws. (Lev 26:44) ‘And yet for all this, when they are in the
land of their enemies, I shall not reject them, nor shall I loathe them so as
to destroy them and break my covenant with them. I am יהוה their Elohim. (Lev
26:45) ‘Then I shall remember for their sake the
covenant of the ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim before
the eyes of the nations to be their Elohim. I am יהוה.’ (Lev 26:46)
These are the laws and the right-rulings and the Torot1 which יהוה made between Himself and the children of
Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai by the hand of Mosheh. Footnote:
1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching.
(Isa 49:24)
Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous
delivered? (Isa
49:25) Yes- said יהוה, “Even the captives of the mighty are taken away; and the prey
of the ruthless is delivered. I strive with him who strives with you, and I save your
children. Hey now that’s FAMILY BENEFITS! He contends with our
enemies and delivers and saves our children!
Here is our instruction to tame our tongues:
(Jas 3:10) Out of the
same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be so. (Jas 3:11)
Does the fountain send forth the sweet and the bitter from the same
opening? (Jas 3:12) My brothers, is a fig tree able to bear
olives, or a grapevine figs? So neither is a fountain able to make salt
and sweet water. (Jas 3:13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
him show by his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom. (Jas 3:14) But
if you have bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast
against and lie against the truth. (Jas 3:15) This is not the wisdom coming down from
above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. (Jas
3:16) For where
jealousy and self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed.
(Jas 3:17)
But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready
to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy.
We
start our lives as believers as BABIES but we are commanded to grow up and walk
by trust and faith!
Obstacles and difficulties
will mature us (Hebrews 5:12)
For indeed, although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to
teach you again the first elements of the Words of Elohim. And you have become
such as need milk and not solid food. (Hebrews 5:13) For everyone partaking of milk is
inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. (Hebrews 5:14)
But solid food is for the mature whose senses have been trained by
practice to discern both good and evil. Let us consider carefully loved one. Growing up spiritually is of vast
importance – perhaps even more important than our physical growing up. We are
to be found BLAMELESS at our King’s appearing so we must grow up now: (1Th 5:23) And
the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit,
and being (soul), and body - be preserved
blameless at the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah!
Wilderness looks imminent: I have a certain recurring thought to share.
My expectations are that He wants us in a good standing with Him and others NOW for a reason. Yes, I expect that
reason is advancing on us living now- at the end of the age. Not many would be
the least surprised if we see a nuclear exchange of some sort in the Middle
East before year’s end. Let’s pray that we have SHALOM and not war and that
repentance for ourselves and our leaders break forth! Yah is on the throne and
He knows the end from the beginning. He alone will judge the unrighteous and
really does not need our help- our goal of intensity MUST be to make sure our
lives or not among those JUDGED! Is it Isaiah 17:1? Is it Psalms 83? Is it
Ezekiel 38-9; is it Joel 3 which will bring “swift repayment” on us for
dividing Jerusalem? Is it Jeremiah 51? Is it Zechariah 5? Not sure, perhaps all
of them along with Ezekiel 38-9! They are each worth our prayerful
considerations. Here’s the thought I believe He wants me to address for our
benefit BEFORE we must stand in front
of Him. “There
is NO reconciliation apart from repentance!” Anger is a manifestation of pain, and left
unchecked leads to rebellion. We have all been hurt, abandoned, rejected, or
made to feel inferior by someone (or many) during our lives. Let’s get free! Here
are some verses from a short verse search that speak volumes to us living
today. If these things were true when Yahshua first came as a type of Joseph- suffering
servant to gather the 12 brothers (Family-
lost sheep of Israel) How much more are they true-- do you and I suppose
they are for us who are living now when He is coming again as King of Israel-
The Lion of Judah to restore His brothers (Israel-
You and I). I would expect the Kingdom of Heaven is closer now than then…remember
we must forgive to be
forgiven Loved One (YHWH moves mountains but bring a shovel) - look with me:(Isa 1:18)
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isa 1:19) “If you submit
and obey (willing and obedient), you
shall eat the good of the land; (Isa 1:20)
but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the
sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
Loved One, before we
look at what YHWH told me to share with you (FAMILY GIFTS); let’s once again remind ourselves why you and I and they are
Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore
loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with
him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your
mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother? And
who are
my brothers? (Matthew
12:49) And he stretched
forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my
mother and my
brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do
the will
of my
Father which is
in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves
and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH /Instructions)
we are Yahshua’s (Jesus’) family!
Have WE inherited
lies? Most Likely! We should also realize a
truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY
OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also
known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH
reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and
subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t
please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted
from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect!
(Jeremiah 16:19)
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies,
vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the
Word which I command you, and do not take away 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.
Can we even imagine thinking we were serving
YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were
workers of Lawlessness (Torahlessness)- that He never knew us and to depart
from us; that we actually were disobedient following pagan traditions we
inherited? This experience would
and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth,
into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change
us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing
is too hard for you YHWH! You are family (LOVED ONES) if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your
Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions.
This group of LOVED ONES would include us who
are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing
to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves
you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua
to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to humble ourselves and
accept the engrafted word when we discover truth.
This losing our life for Him is not just
physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the
degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Let’s get hungry for more of Him and less of us- I
suspect we will be most happy not to hear these words from Yahshua!
(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 teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa.
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.
FAMILY PROTOCOL IS IMPORTANT-
(Especially if we expect gifts- hehe) (Mat 15:4) “For
Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect (honor)
your father and your mother,’ and,
‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ (Eph 6:1) Children,
obey your parents in the Master, for this is right. (Eph 6:2) “Respect (honor) your father and mother,”
which is the first command with promise, (Eph 6:3) in order that it might be well with you, and
you might live long on the earth.” Finally- let’s look at the KJV about
renewing our minds in His Scripture promises regarding knowing His will in
Romans 12:1-2 (Soul- mind will and
intellect) and see: (3Jn 1:2) Beloved, I
wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth. Do we want to be blessed to be a blessing
like Isaac was? Let’s give our parents honor and more importantly (possibly setting precedence) our Heavenly
Father honor and LIVE UNDER AN OPEN HEAVEN! Do we really
understand that obedience brings blessings and disobedience brings curses?
Approaching YHWH and entering His
presence!
Also realize that if you are in great warfare- enter His gates (Doorway) giving
thanks- remember the old song- “Count your blessings, count them one by one,
count your many blessings see what YHWH’s done and then PRAISE HIM as demon
spirits cannot hang around and get you down when He is present! Hallelu-YAH! (Psalms 22:2) O My Elohim, I call by day, but you do not
answer; and by night, but I find no rest. (Psalms
22:3) Yet
you are set-apart YHVH, Enthroned on the praises of
Yisra’ĕl. KJV
uses inhabits…
Psalms_100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His
courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His
Name. Psalms_105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His
Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms_106:1
Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks
to יהוה,
For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.
Receiving our last (New
Covenant) Torah portion this week will help us to walk in His miracle gifts
in these days ahead known as Jacob’s Troubles, so let’s be open- study and
receive so we can be used to produce fruit that remains!. With
thankful hearts- which are counting our blessings one by one- let’s turn our
hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion Loved Ones! Of course, you and I
can reject this and continue to wonder why we walk in no power to help others….
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Bamidbar “In the Wilderness”
Numbers 1:1-4:20; Hosea 2:1-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
Numbering Israel and Assigning their Portion and Place of

(Numbers 1:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness

Set Apart- Levites
(Numbers 1:47) But the Lĕwites
were not registered among them by their fathers’ tribe, (Numbers 1:48) because יהוה had spoken to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 1:49) “Only the tribe of Lĕwi you do not
register, nor take a census of them among the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 1:50)
“Instead, appoint the Lĕwites over the Dwelling Place of the Witness,
over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They bear the
Dwelling Place and all its furnishings, and they attend to it, and camp around
the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 1:51) “And when the Dwelling Place is to go
forward, the Lĕwites take it down. And when the Dwelling Place is to be set up,
the Lĕwites set it up. And the stranger who comes near is put to death. (Numbers 1:52)
“And
the children of Yisra’ĕl shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp,
everyone by his own banner, according to their divisions, (Numbers 1:53) but let the Lĕwites camp around the Dwelling Place of the
Witness, so that there be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
And the Lĕwites shall guard the duty of the Dwelling Place of the Witness.” (Numbers 1:54) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to
all that יהוה
commanded Mosheh, so they did.
YHWH has ORDER in the camp!
(Numbers 2:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon,
saying, (Numbers 2:2) “The children of Yisra’ĕl

But the Lĕwites were not registered among the children of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה commanded
Mosheh. (Numbers 2:34) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to
all that יהוה
commanded Mosheh. So they camped by their banners and so they departed, each
one by his clan, according to their fathers’ houses.
Protocol and the Set Apart
(Numbers 3:1) And these are the generations of Aharon and
Mosheh when יהוה spoke with
Mosheh on Mount Sinai. (Numbers 3:2) And these are the names of the sons of
Aharon: Naḏaḇ, the first-born, and Aḇihu, Elʽazar, and Ithamar. (Numbers 3:3)
These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the anointed priests, whom he
ordained to act as priests. (Numbers 3:4) And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu had died before יהוה when they
brought strange fire before יהוה in the Wilderness of Sinai. And they had no children. So
Elʽazar and Ithamar acted as priests in the presence of Aharon their father. (Numbers 3:5)
And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, Numbers 3:6) “Bring the tribe of Lĕwi near, and set them
before Aharon the priest, and they shall serve him, (Numbers
3:7) and shall guard his duty and
the duty of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service
of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:8) “And they shall guard all the furnishings of
the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to do the
service of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:9) “And you shall give the Lĕwites to Aharon and
his sons. They are the given ones, given to him from among the children of
Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 3:10) “And appoint Aharon and his sons, and they
shall guard their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to
death.” (Numbers 3:11) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:12) “Now look, I myself have taken the
Lĕwites from among the children of Yisra’ĕl instead of every first-born who
opens the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall be mine, (Numbers 3:13) because all the first-born are Mine.
On the day that I struck all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, I set apart to myself all the first-born
in Yisra’ĕl, both man and beast. They are Mine, I am יהוה.” (Numbers 3:14)
And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying, (Numbers
3:15) “Register the children of Lĕwi by their fathers’ houses, by their
clans. Register
every male from a month old and above.” (Numbers
3:16) So Mosheh registered them
according to the word of יהוה, as he had been commanded. (Numbers
3:17) And these were the sons of
Lĕwi by their names: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. (Numbers
3:18) And these are the names of
the sons of Gĕreshon by their clans: Liḇni and Shimʽi. (Numbers 3:19) and the sons of Qehath by their clans: Amram and
Yitshar, Ḥeḇron and Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:20) And the sons of Merari by their clans: Maḥli
and Mushi. These are the clans of the Lĕwites by their fathers’ houses. (Numbers 3:21)
From Gĕreshon came the clan of the Liḇnites and the clan of the
Shimʽites. These were the clans of the Gĕreshonites. (Numbers
3:22) Their registered ones,
according to the number of all the males from a month old and above, their
registered ones were seven thousand five hundred. (Numbers
3:23) The clans of the
Gĕreshonites were to camp westward, behind the Dwelling Place, (Numbers 3:24) and the leader of the fathers’ house
of the Gĕreshonites: Elyasaph, son of La’ĕl. (Numbers
3:25) And the duty of the
children of Gĕreshon in the Tent of Meeting was the Dwelling Place, and the
tent with its covering, and the covering of the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 3:26) and the screens of the courtyard and
the covering of the door of the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place
and the altar, and their cords, according to all its service. (Numbers 3:27)
And from Qehath came the clan of the Amramites, and the clan of the
Yitsharites, and the clan of the Ḥeḇronites, and the clan of the Uzzi’ĕlites.
These were the clans of the Qehathites. (Numbers 3:28) In number, all the males, from a month old
and above, were eight thousand six hundred, guarding the duty of the set-apart
place. (Numbers 3:29) The clans of the children of Qehath were to
camp on the south side of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers
3:30) The leader of the fathers’
house of the clans of the Qehathites; was Elitsaphan, son of Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:31)
And their duty was the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the
altars, and the utensils of the set-apart place used in the service, and the
covering, and all its service. (Numbers 3:32) And Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, was to
be chief over the leaders of the Lĕwites, with oversight of those who guard the
duty of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:33) From Merari came the clan of the Maḥlites
and the clan of the Mushites. These were the clans of Merari. (Numbers 3:34)
The number of their registered ones; all the males from a month old and
above, were six thousand two hundred. (Numbers 3:35) The leader of the fathers’ house of the clans
of Merari; was Tsuri’ĕl, son of Aḇiḥayil. These were to camp on the north
side of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:36) And the appointed duty of the children of
Merari was the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and
its sockets, and its utensils, and all its service, (Numbers
3:37) and the columns of the courtyard all around, with their sockets,
and their pegs, and their cords. (Numbers 3:38) And those who were to camp before the
Dwelling Place on the east, before the Tent of Meeting, were Mosheh and Aharon,
and his sons, guarding the duty of the set-apart place, and the duty of the
children of Yisra’ĕl. But the stranger who came near was to be put to death. (Numbers 3:39)
All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom Mosheh and Aharon
registered at the command of יהוה, by their clans, all the males from a month old and above, were
twenty-two thousand. (Numbers 3:40) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Register all the
first-born males of the children of Yisra’ĕl from a month old and above, and
take the number of their names. (Numbers 3:41) “And you shall take the Lĕwites for Me – I am
יהוה –
instead of all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock
of the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born among the livestock of the
children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 3:42) And Mosheh registered all the first-born
among the children of Yisra’ĕl as יהוה had commanded him. (Numbers 3:43) And all the
first-born males, by the number of names, from one month old and above of their
registered ones, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three. (Numbers 3:44)
And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:45) “Take
the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and
the livestock of the Lĕwites instead of their livestock. And the Lĕwites shall
be Mine, I am יהוה. (Numbers 3:46) “And for the ransom of the two hundred and
seventy-three of the first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who are more than
the number of the Lĕwites, (Numbers 3:47) you shall take five sheqels for each one,
head by head – take it by the sheqel of the set-apart place, the sheqel of
twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 3:48) “And you shall give the silver, the ransom of
those who are in excess among them, to Aharon and his sons.” (Numbers 3:49)
And Mosheh took the ransom silver from those who were over and above
those who were ransomed by the Lĕwites. (Numbers 3:50) From the first-born of the children of
Yisra’ĕl he took the silver, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five pieces,
according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. (Numbers
3:51) And Mosheh gave their
ransom silver to Aharon, and to his sons, according to the word of יהוה, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh.
More Protocol
(Numbers 4:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon,
saying, (Numbers 4:2) “Take a census of the sons of Qehath from
among the children of Lĕwi, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:3)
from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter
the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers
4:4) “This is the service of the
sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting, the most set-apart matters: (Numbers 4:5) “At the breaking of camp, Aharon and
his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the
ark of the Witness with it, (Numbers 4:6) and
shall put on it a covering of fine leather, and spread over that an all-blue
wrapper, and shall insert its poles. (Numbers 4:7) “And on the table of showbread they shall
spread a blue wrapper, and shall put on it the dishes, and the ladles, and the
bowls, and the jars for pouring, and the showbread on it. (Numbers 4:8)
“And they shall spread over them a scarlet wrapper, and cover the same
with a covering of fine leather, and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:9)
and shall take a blue wrapper and cover the lampstand of the light, with
its lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, and all its oil vessels, by which
they serve it. (Numbers 4:10) “And they shall put it with all its utensils
in a covering of fine leather, and put it on a bar. (Numbers
4:11) “And over the golden altar
they shall spread a blue wrapper, and cover it with a covering of fine leather,
and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:12) and shall take all the utensils of service
with which they serve in the set-apart place, and shall put them in a blue
wrapper, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on a bar, (Numbers 4:13)
and shall remove the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple wrapper
over it, (Numbers 4:14) and shall put on it all its utensils by which
they serve there: the fire holders, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins,
and all the utensils of the altar, and shall spread on it a covering of fine
leather, and insert its poles. (Numbers 4:15) “And when Aharon and his sons have finished
covering the set-apart objects and all the furnishings of the Set-apart
Place at the breaking of camp, then the sons of Qehath shall come to lift them,
but let them not touch that which is set-apart, lest they die. These matters
are the burden of the sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:16)
“And the oversight of Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, is the oil for
the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily grain offering, and the
anointing oil, and the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and all that is in
it, with the set-apart place and its furnishings.” (Numbers
4:17) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and
to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 4:18) “Do not cut
off the tribe of the clans of the Qehathites from among the Lĕwites, (Numbers 4:19) but do this to them, and they shall
live and not die when they approach the most set-apart objects: Aharon
and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his
burden. (Numbers 4:20) “They are not, however, to go in to watch
while the set-apart objects are being covered, lest they die.”
Put away whorings which is adultery is
idolatry to YHWH. He removes them “In That Day” a Hebrew Idiom for the Day of
YHWH’s vengeance- Jacob’s Trouble- The Day of the Lord!
(Hos 2:1) “Say to your brothers, ‘O my people,’ and to
your sisters, ‘O, compassioned one.’ (Hos 2:2) “Strive with your mother, strive, for she is
not my wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her whorings from her face, and her
adulteries from between her breasts, (Hos
2:3) lest I strip her naked, and
shall set her up as on the day she was born, and shall make her like a
wilderness, and shall set her like a dry land, and shall put her to death with
thirst. (Hos 2:4) “And I shall not have compassion on her
children, for they are the children of whorings. (Hos
2:5) “For their mother has
whored, she who conceived them has acted shamelessly. For she said, ‘I go after
my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and
my drink. Hos 2:6) “Therefore, see, I am
hedging up your way with thorns, and I shall wall her in, so that she does not
find her paths. (Hos 2:7) “And she shall pursue her lovers but not
overtake them, and shall seek them but not find them. Then she shall say, ‘Let
me go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’ (Hos 2:8) “And
she did not acknowledge that I gave her grain, and new wine, and oil, and
increased her silver and gold which they prepared for Baʽal.
(Hos 2:9) “Therefore I shall turn back and
shall take my grain in its time and My new wine in its season, and I shall take
away My wool and My linen covering her nakedness. (Hos
2:10) “And now I shall uncover
her shame before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from my
hand. (Hos 2:11) “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her
festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to
cease, (Hos 2:12) and lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of
which she has said, ‘these are my rewards that my lovers have given me.’ And I
shall make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. (Hos 2:13)
“And I shall punish her for the days of the Baʽals to which she burned
incense and adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers,
and forgot Me,” declares יהוה. (Hos 2:14)
“Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the
wilderness, and shall speak to her heart, (Hos 2:15)
and give to her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Aḵor as a door of
expectation. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the
day when she came up from the land of Mitsrayim. (Hos
2:16) “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘My
Baʽal.’ (Hos 2:17) “And I shall remove the names of the Baʽals
from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. (Hos 2:18)
“And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the
field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of
the ground, when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall
make them lie down in safety. (Hos 2:19) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me
forever, and take you as a bride unto me in righteousness, and in right-ruling,
and kindness and compassion. (Hos 2:20) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me in
trustworthiness, and you shall know יהוה. (Hos 2:21) “And it shall be in that day that I answer,”
Declares יהוה,
“that I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth, (Hos
2:22) and the earth answer the grain and the new wine and the oil, and
they answer Yizreʽĕl. (Hos 2:23) “And I shall sow her for myself in the earth,
and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion. And I shall
say to those who were not my people, ‘You are my people,’ while they say, ‘My
Elohim!’ ”
FAMILY GIFTS are for the benefit of others- let’s receive them and walk in
these!
YHWH does NOT want us ignorant concerning spiritual
gifts—let’s not remain ignorant- but study and show ourselves approved- rightly
dividing the Word of Truth! Yahshua has given us His power to trample on snakes
and scorpions (All the demonic realm
opposing us with stormy facts) and OVERCOME all the power of the
enemy! So
let’s read and receive power! Honestly, the more we read and believe and
DO- the more we will be trusted and trust Him that we may DO His works on the
earth. These are given (NOT for
self-exaltation or our own benefit) for the benefit of others as the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) wills and intends. Nine gifts! Let’s consider carefully who we ascribe
these gifts to. To assign the works of the Ruach to works of hasatan is called “Blaspheming the Set Apart-Ruach” and
will NOT be forgiven- in this age OR in the age to come! No one can make us
receive these- YOU AND I MUST BE OPEN TO BE
USED AND HUNGRY FOR TRUTH!
(1Co 12:1) And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2) You know that you were gentiles, 1 led
away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote:
1Eph. 2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3)
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of
Elohim says יהושע is a curse,
and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4) And there are different kinds of gifts, but
the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5) There are different kinds of services, but
the same Master. (1Co 12:6) And there are different kinds of workings,
but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1Co
12:7) And to each one is given
the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, (1Co
12:8) for to one is given a word of wisdom through the
Spirit, and to another a word of
knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co
12:9) and to another belief-faith- trust by the same
Spirit, and to another gifts of
healing by the same Spirit, (1Co 12:10) and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of unknown tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11)
But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one
individually as
He intends. (1Co 12:12) For as the body is one and has many members,
but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the
Messiah. (1Co 12:13) For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed
into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were
all made to drink into one Spirit. (1Co 12:14) For indeed the body is not one member but
many. (1Co 12:15) If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I
do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:16) And
if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does
it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:17) If all the body was an eye, where would be
the hearing? If all the body hearing, where would be the smelling? (1Co 12:18) But
now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He
pleased. (1Co 12:19) And if they all had been one member, where
would the body be? (1Co 12:20) And now, there are indeed many members, but
one body.
Loved One,
my prayer for you is that you humble yourself by your own free will and hunger
and thirst for His power to help you help others in the days ahead- which I
believe are soon to be upon us called “Jacob’s Trouble”. I pray that you do
exploits in His name and FEAR NOT! Hallelu-Yah- it is time we draw near!
Shalom 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.
