Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! (This study is
attached for printing/reading and available at the website below)
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com w/video audio to build our trust in Messiah!
Hear my new 3 part radio teaching
audio streaming at http://www.csbnradio.com/reviveamerica/ with
observations that will help us make ourselves ready as a BRIDE. 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!
We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! (If we find ourselves fearful watching world events unfurl perhaps
we need to spend more time in the Scriptures getting to know more intimately
our loving Creator who has ALL power and laughs at the wicked men raging
against Him- He holds them in derision- not us who love Him and want to obey
Him- Eyes
focused on Him- FEAR NOT!
Please
consider watching the December 3-9, 2012
Sid Roth program on walking in Supernatural SHALOM during these trying times
many are now in and all of us may soon be in. You may download at: http://www.sidroth.org/site/News2?abbr=tv_&page=NewsArticle&id=12284
Once again I want to encourage you Loved One- no matter
what evil the enemy has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient- giving
thanks in all things, our Master and King will use us mightily to produce fruit
that remains- even beyond us! Psalm 119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, thy word is
settled in heaven. No one is
arguing with YHWH in Heaven, the thing we (you
and I) must enforce is His word by speaking agreement with His promises in
the earth; where hasatan is ruling the masses. We must
focus our attention on Him and His promises- not on the facts we may be
experiencing. He has destroyed the works of hell and therefore we can overcome
the plans of hell, the giants and overwhelming obstacles and still walk in
victory. blue Very soon there may be a “False flag” of sorts where we may see
massive earthquakes, fallen demonic alien looking beings and spacecraft
claiming they know Yahshua etc.; possibly
a hologram by project blue beam showing Yahshua speaking to us confirming the
anti-messiah. They may create race wars with mind control and fill up FEMA
camps etc. - but Yahshua promises He will give us words to speak and
not one hair of our head will be lost:
(Luke 21:8) And He said, “See
that you are not led astray, for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’
and, ‘The time is near.’ Then do not go after them. (Luke 21:9) “But when you hear of fighting and unrests do not be alarmed,
for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.” (Luke 21:10)
Then He said to them, “Nation (race-ethnos) shall rise against nation
(race-ethnos), and reign against
reign. (Luke 21:11) “And there shall be
great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly
diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:12) “But before all this, they shall lay their hands on
you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and
prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake.
(Luke 21:13)
“And it shall turn out to you for a witness. (Luke
21:14) “Therefore, resolve in your
hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. (Luke 21:15) “I shall give you a
mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or
resist. (Luke 21:16) “And you shall also
be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you
shall be put to death. (Luke 21:17) “And you shall be
hated by all because of My Name. (Luke 21:18) “But not a hair of your head shall be lost at all.
(Luke 21:19) “Possess your lives by your endurance! (Luke 21:20) “And when you see Yerushalayim surrounded by armies, and then
know that it’s lying waste is near. (Luke
21:21) “Then
let those in Yehuḏah flee to the
mountains, and let those who are in the midst of her go out, and let not those
who are in the fields enter her. (This
is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and
the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war): (Zechariah
14:2) and I shall gather all the
gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim1.
And the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half
of the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut
off from the city. Footnote: 1Joel 3:2,
Zeph. 3:8, Rev. 16:14. (Zechariah 14:3) And יהוה shall go forth, and He shall fight
against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of battle.
If we claim to be
of Yahshua and heir to His promises to Abraham, then we MUST and WILL walk like
Yahshua did.
(1Jn 2:4) The one who says,
“I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him. (1Jn 2:5) But whoever
guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected1 in
him. By this we know that we are in Him.2
Footnotes: 1Gen. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, Mt. 5:48.
2See 3:24. (1Jn 2:6) The one who
says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
If
we are unsure what YHWH sees as sin in our lives- CONSIDER HIS DEFINITION OF
SIN
(1Jn 3:4) Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin
is lawlessness (Torahlessness)
(1Jn 3:5) and you know that He was manifested
to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. (1Jn
3:6) Everyone staying in Him does
not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor
known Him.1 Footnote: 1See
2:4 & 3 John v. 11. (1Jn 3:7) Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is
righteous.1 Footnote: 1See
2:29. (1Jn 3:8) The one doing sin is of the devil, because
the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.1 Footnote: 1See
Titus 2:14. (1Jn 3:9) Everyone having been born of Elohim does not
sin, because His
seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has
been born of Elohim. (1Jn 3:10) In this the children of Elohim and the
children of the devil are manifest: Everyone not doing
righteousness is not of Elohim,1 neither the one not loving
his brother. Footnote: 1See 3 John v. 11. (1Jn 3:11) This
is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another, (1Jn 3:12) not as Qayin who was of the
wicked one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his works
were wicked but those of his brother were righteous. (1Jn
3:13) Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world
hates you.1 Footnote: 1See John 15:18-19, John 17:14.
Here’s another
thought for consideration:
(Rom 14:22) Do you have belief (Trust-faith)? Have it to yourself
before Elohim. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. (Rom 14:23)
But he, who doubts, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of belief
(Trust-faith), and all that is
not of belief (Trust-faith) is
sin. Remember rebellion (disobedience) is likened to the SIN of
witchcraft.
We must take our thoughts captive to be in obedience to Messiah
Yahshua. (2Co 10:3) Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight
according to the flesh. (2Co 10:4) For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly
but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, (2Co
10:5) overthrowing reasoning’s and every high matter (idea) that exalts itself against the
knowledge of Elohim, taking captive
every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah, (2Co 10:6) and being ready
to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.1
Footnote: 1John 3:36.
This
is how we are instructed to keep our faith and trust by guarding our hearts and
minds in what we think and speak.
(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5)
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6)
Do not worry (be anxious) at all, but in every matter,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made
known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7) And the peace
(SHALOM) of Elohim, which surpasses
all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8)
For the rest, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is
lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is
any praise – think on these. (Philippians 4:9) And what you have learned and received and
heard and saw in me, practice these, and the Elohim of peace shall be with you.
To explain further the reality concerning our authority over the
devil’s works in our lives; many years ago Yahshua told me, “I destroyed the
works of hell, he has NO power of his own!” Then
I asked Him, “If he has no power how then is he doing so much evil against us
as believers?” Then Yahshua spoke again, “he has no
power of his own but to show you the storm and the overwhelming
circumstances/obstacles to your provision from me. When you agree with your
words with the storm and circumstances (like Kĕpha (Peter) did when the storm came as I had
commanded him to walk on the water and come to me- and he put his eyes on the
great storm and off of me and sank) hasatan steals your power- you agree with
hell and I stand down, leaving you with the results of the one you have agreed
with!” Yahshua continued, (Pro 18:21) Death and life are
in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.” We MUST
speak Scripture and agreement with our King, or we are not following our King
Yahshua Messiah!
REMEMBER our tongue will direct our lives;
IF we remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to
destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM
as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH! He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in
the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report
in today’s Torah portion! Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the
land but we will believe and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH
OUR KING!
That means you and I can draw near to Him who made Heaven
and Earth and OVERCOME all the power of the enemy! (Luke 10:18) And
He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heaven as lightning. (Luke 10:19) “See, I give you
the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, (All demonic authority) and over all the
power of the enemy, and none at all shall hurt you. (Luke 10:20) “But do not rejoice
in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your
names have been written in the heavens.” Hallelu-YAH! No need to fear man and the demonic hordes that do evil
against us- he can only kill the body which is going back to dirt anyway- FEAR
HIM (Awe and respect) who can cast to hell’s flames where the worm dies not! Luke_12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say
unto you, Fear him. Mat_10:28
and fear not them which kill the body, but are not able
to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Hey this is a no brainer- let’s draw near to our loving King, director, provider
and protector!
Okay- this
is what happens when we submit and obey willingly; Submitting means submitting to the WORD and we change for
He changes NOT! Look- He really wants to help us and
delivers us from all the works of hell!
(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 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 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.”
(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,” the mouth of יהוה has
spoken.
We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word
of Life by submitting (receiving) -
we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more
like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7) So
then subject 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! This shows our maturity as we yield our
tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He directs us
more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose and FEAR
NOT! Our loving Creator who has ALL power laughs
at the wicked men raging against Him- He holds them in derision- FEAR NOT!
Hebraically speaking, IF we REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM – (believe what He
says) we will DO what He says! Goodness- IF the works of hell are headed our
way? SO WHAT! He really will help us and deliver us from all the works
of hell! We are overcomers and willing to stop LISTEN and OBEY!
(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 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 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.”
Have we missed it? MOST LIKELY!
(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,” the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word
of Life by submitting (receiving) -
we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more
like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7) So

and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1Or

you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! This
shows our maturity as we yield our tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He
directs us more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose
and FEAR NOT!
Still got a
Christmas tree? Obedience is still better than all our sacrifices- Do we want
to avoid Him rejecting us? Come out from her my people OR partake in her
plagues…
(1Sa 15:22) Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and
slaughterings, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an offering, to heed
is better than the fat of rams. (1Sa 15:23) “For rebellion is as the sin of divination (witchcraft), and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry.
Because you have rejected
the word of יהוה, He also does reject you
as sovereign.”
Let’s
not our customs be worthless before YHWH!
(Jeremiah 10:1) Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl.
(Jeremiah 10:2)
Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles (pagan-heathen), 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. (Jeremiah
10:3) “For the prescribed customs of these peoples
are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the
hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. (Jeremiah
10:4) “They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten
it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.
Please hear with your spiritual ears: Our tongue will direct our lives; IF we
remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH!
He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s
word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report in last week’s Torah portion!
Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the land but we will believe
and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH OUR KING!

Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Korach “Korah”
Numbers 16:1-18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14-12:25; Hebrews Chapter 3; Jude
1:9-23; Revelation 12:13-17
Goodness
Loved One- see what self-exaltation and pride brings- A FALL!
(Numbers 16:1) And Qoraḥ,
son of Yitshar, son of Qehath, son of Lĕwi, took both Dathan and Aḇiram the
sons of Eliyaḇ, and On, son of Peleth, sons of Re’uḇĕn, (Numbers 16:2) and they rose up before Mosheh with
some of the children of Yisra’ĕl, two hundred and fifty leaders of the
congregation, called ones of the meeting, men of name. (Numbers
16:3) And they assembled against
Mosheh and against Aharon, and said to them, “Enough of you! For the entire
congregation is set-apart, all of them, and יהוה is in their midst. Why then do you
lift up yourselves above the assembly of יהוה?” (Numbers 16:4) And when Mosheh heard, he fell on his face, (Numbers 16:5) and spoke to Qoraḥ and all his
company, saying, “Tomorrow morning יהוה shall make known who is His and who is
set-apart, and bring him near to Him. And let Him bring near to Him the
one whom He chooses. (Numbers 16:6) “Do this: Take fire holders, Qoraḥ and all
your company, (Numbers 16:7) and put fire in
them and put incense in them before יהוה tomorrow. And it shall be that the one
whom יהוה
chooses is the set-apart one. Enough of you- sons of Lĕwi!” (Numbers 16:8)
And Mosheh said to Qoraḥ, “Hear now, you sons of Lĕwi: (Numbers 16:9)
“Is it little to you that the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl has separated you from
the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, to bring you near to Himself, to perform the
service of the Dwelling Place of יהוה, and to stand before the congregation to
serve them, (Numbers 16:10) and that He has brought you near to Himself,
you and all your brothers, the sons of Lĕwi, with you? Yet you seek the
priesthood as well? (Numbers 16:11) “Therefore you and all your company are set
against יהוה.
And Aharon, what is he that you grumble against him?” (Numbers
16:12) And Mosheh sent to call
Dathan and Aḇiram the sons of Eliyaḇ, but they said, “We are not coming up! (Numbers 16:13)
“Is it little that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with
milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you would also seize total
rule over us? (Numbers 16:14) “Also, you have not brought us into a land
flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards.
Would you bore out the eyes of these men? We are not coming up!”
Moses makes His plea for JUSTICE before the Father of Lights! Korah makes
his plea to the people!
(Numbers 16:15) And Mosheh
became very displeased, and said to יהוה, “Do not respect their offering. I have
not taken one donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them.” (Numbers 16:16)
Then Mosheh said to Qoraḥ, “Tomorrow, you and all your company shall be
there before יהוה, you, them and Aharon. (Numbers 16:17) “And take each one his fire holder, and you
shall put incense in it. And let each one bring his fire holder before יהוה, two
hundred and fifty fire holders, and you and Aharon, each one with his fire
holder.” (Numbers 16:18) So each one took his fire holder, and put
fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of
Meeting with Mosheh and Aharon. (Numbers 16:19) And Qoraḥ assembled the entire
congregation against them at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Then the
esteem (Glory) of יהוה appeared to the
entire congregation.
YHWH will have the FINAL ANSWER- yes even in your plea for justice! Note
YHWH’s Judgment-
(Numbers 16:20) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 16:21) “Separate
yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and let me consume
them in a moment.” (Numbers 16:22) But they fell on their faces, and said, “O
Ěl, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh! When one man sins, are you wroth with the
entire congregation?” (Numbers 16:23) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:24) “Speak to the congregation, saying;
‘Move away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram.’ ” (Numbers 16:25) So Mosheh rose up and went to Dathan
and Aḇiram, and the elders of Yisra’ĕl followed him. (Numbers
16:26) And he spoke to the
congregation, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wrong men! Do
not touch whatever belongs to them, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” (Numbers 16:27)
Then they moved away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and
Aḇiram. And Dathan and Aḇiram came out and stood at the door of their
tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little children. (Numbers 16:28)
And Mosheh said, “By this you know that יהוה has sent
me to do all these works that they are not from my own heart.
(Numbers 16:29)
“If these die as
all men do, or if they are visited as all men are visited, then יהוה has not sent me.
(Numbers 16:30)
“But if יהוה creates
what is unheard of, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all
that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you shall
know that these men have scorned יהוה.”
(Numbers 16:31) And it came to
be, as he ended speaking all these words, that the ground
under them split apart, (Numbers 16:32)
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up,
with their households and all the men with Qoraḥ, with all their goods.
(Numbers 16:33)
So they and all those with them went down alive into the
grave, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the
assembly.
This judgment put the FEAR of YHWH (Not the devil and
his men) into everyone- We can expect
the same! Remember these Scriptures are the shadow picture of good things
to come! Hallelu-YAH!
(Numbers 16:34) And all Yisra’ĕl
who were round about them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” (Numbers 16:35)
And a fire came out from יהוה and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering
incense. (Numbers 16:36) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:37)
“Say to Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, to pick up the fire holders
out of the blaze, for they are set-apart, and scatter the fire some distance
away. (Numbers 16:38) “The fire holders of these men, who sinned
against their own lives, let them be made into beaten plates as a covering
for the altar. Because they brought them before יהוה, therefore they are set-apart. And let
them become a sign to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers
16:39) And Elʽazar the priest
took the bronze fire holders, which those who were burned up had brought, and
they were beaten out as a covering on the altar – (Numbers
16:40) a remembrance to the children of Yisra’ĕl that no stranger who is
not of the seed of Aharon, should come near to offer incense before יהוה, and not
be like Qoraḥ and his company – as יהוה had said to him through Mosheh.
There will be those in our assemblies of believers in the DAYS OF JACOB’S
TROUBLES that will rebel- complain and murmur and receive YHWH’s judgment also-
our goal is to not be among them! Please NOTE- the love of Moses
and Aaron for the people and their interceding for them-
(Numbers 16:41) But all the
congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and against
Aharon on the next day, saying, “You, you have killed the people of יהוה.” (Numbers 16:42)
And it came to be, when the congregation assembled against Mosheh and
against Aharon, that they turned toward the Tent of Meeting. And see, the cloud
covered it, and the esteem of יהוה appeared. (Numbers 16:43) And Mosheh and Aharon came before the Tent of
Meeting. (Numbers 16:44) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:45) “Arise from amidst this
congregation, and let me consume them in a moment.” And they
fell on their faces. (Numbers 16:46) So Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take the fire
holder and put fire in it from the altar, and lay incense on, and go, hurry to
the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from יהוה, the
plague has begun.” (Numbers 16:47) And Aharon took it as Mosheh commanded, and
ran into the midst of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the
people. And he laid on the incense and made atonement for the people, (Numbers 16:48) and stood between the dead and the
living. And the
plague was stopped. (Numbers 16:49) And those who died in the plague were
fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Qoraḥ. (Numbers 16:50)
Then Aharon returned to Mosheh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for
the plague had stopped.
YHWH’s Instructions come from RELATIONSHIP!
(Numbers 17:1) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 17:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and take from them a rod from each father’s house, all their leaders according
to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each one’s name on his rod, (Numbers 17:3) and write Aharon’s name on the rod of
Lĕwi, for there is one rod for the head of each father’s house. (Numbers 17:4)
“You shall then place them in the Tent of Meeting before the Witness,
where I meet with you. (Numbers 17:5) “And it shall be that the rod of the man whom
I choose buds, and I shall rid myself of the grumblings of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, which they grumble against you.” (Numbers
17:6) And Mosheh spoke to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and all their leaders gave him a rod each, for each
leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. And the rod of Aharon
was among their rods. (Numbers 17:7) So Mosheh placed the rods before יהוה in the
Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 17:8) And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh
went into the Tent of the Witness and saw that the rod of Aharon, of the house
of Lĕwi, had budded, and brought forth buds, and blossomed and bore ripe
almonds. (Numbers 17:9) And Mosheh brought out all the rods from
before יהוה
to all the children of Yisra’ĕl. And they looked, and each man took his rod. (Numbers 17:10)
And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Bring Aharon’s rod back before the Witness, to be kept as a
sign against the rebels, so that you put an end to their grumblings
against me, lest they die.” (Numbers 17:11) And Mosheh did as יהוה had commanded him, so he did. (Numbers 17:12)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl spoke to Mosheh, saying, “See, we shall
die, we shall perish, we shall all perish! (Numbers
17:13) “Anyone who comes near the
Dwelling Place of יהוה dies. Shall we be consumed – to die?”
Guarding
our Royal Priesthood!
(Numbers 18:1) And יהוה said to Aharon, “You and your sons
and your father’s house with you are to bear the crookedness against the
set-apart place, and you and your sons with you are to bear the crookedness
against your priesthood. (Numbers 18:2) “But bring with you your brothers of the
tribe of Lĕwi too, the tribe of your father to join you and serve you while you
and your sons are with you before the Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 18:3)
“And they shall guard your charge, and the duty of the entire Tent, but
they do not come near the furnishings of the set-apart place and the altar,
lest they die, both they and you. (Numbers 18:4) “And they shall be joined with you and guard
the duty to the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent, but a
stranger does not come near you. (Numbers 18:5) “And you shall guard the duty of the
set-apart place and the duty of the altar, so that there be no more wrath on
the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 18:6) “And see, I myself have taken your brothers
the Lĕwites from the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl – a gift to you, given
by יהוה,
to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers
18:7) “But you and your sons with
you are to guard your priesthood for all matters at the altar and behind the
veil, and you shall serve. I have given you the
priesthood as a gift for service, but the stranger who comes near is
put to death.” (Numbers 18:8) And יהוה spoke to Aharon, “And see, I myself have
also given you the charge of my contributions, all the set-apart gifts of the
children of Yisra’ĕl. I have given them to you for the anointing, and to your
sons, as a law forever. (Numbers 18:9) “This is yours of the most set-apart gifts,
from the fire: all their offerings, all their grain offerings and all their sin
offerings and all their guilt offerings which they render to me, are most
set-apart for you and your sons. (Numbers 18:10) “Eat it in the most set-apart place – every
male eats it. It is set-apart to you. (Numbers 18:11) “This also is yours: the contribution of
their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. I have
given them to you, and your sons and daughters with you, as a law forever.
Everyone who is clean in your house eats it. (Numbers
18:12) “All the best of the oil,
and all the best of the new wine and the grain – their first-fruits which they
give to יהוה
– I have given them to you. (Numbers 18:13) “The first-fruits of all that is in their
land, which they bring to יהוה, are yours. Everyone who is clean in your house eats it. (Numbers 18:14)
“All that is dedicated in Yisra’ĕl is yours. (Numbers
18:15) “Everyone opening a womb
of all flesh, which they bring to יהוה, whether man or beast, is yours. But the
first-born of man you shall certainly ransom, and the first-born of the unclean
beast you ransom. (Numbers 18:16) “And ransom their ransomed ones when one
month old, according to your valuation, five sheqels of silver, according to
the sheqel of the set-apart place, which is twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 18:17)
“But the first-born of a cow, or the first-born of a sheep, or the
first-born of a goat you do not ransom, they are set-apart. Sprinkle their
blood on the altar, and burn their fat as an offering made by fire for a sweet
fragrance to יהוה. (Numbers 18:18) “And their flesh is yours, as the wave breast
and as the right thigh, it is yours. (Numbers 18:19) “All the contributions of the set-apart gifts,
which the children of Yisra’ĕl present to יהוה, I have given to you and your sons and daughters
with you as a law forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before יהוה with you
and your seed with you.” (Numbers 18:20) And יהוה said to Aharon, “You are not to have an
inheritance in their land, nor have any portion in their midst. I am your portion
and your inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers
18:21) “And see, I have given the
children of Lĕwi all the tithes in Yisra’ĕl as an inheritance in return for the
service which they are serving, the service of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 18:22)
“And let the children of Yisra’ĕl no more come near the Tent of Meeting,
lest they bear sin and die, (Numbers 18:23) because
the Lĕwites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, so they themselves
bear their crookedness. A law forever, throughout your generations: that among
the children of Yisra’ĕl they are to have no inheritance, (Numbers 18:24) but the tithes of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, which they present as a contribution to יהוה, I have given to the Lĕwites as an
inheritance. That is why I have said to them, ‘among the children of Yisra’ĕl
they have no inheritance.’ ” (Numbers 18:25) And
יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 18:26) “Speak to
the Lĕwites and say to them, ‘When you take from the children of Yisra’ĕl the
tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall
present a contribution of it to יהוה, a tenth of the tithe. (Numbers 18:27) ‘And your contribution shall be reckoned to
you as grain from the threshing-floor and as filling from the winepress. (Numbers 18:28)
‘Thus you also present a contribution unto יהוה from all your tithes which you receive
from the children of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall give from it the contribution to יהוה to Aharon
the priest. (Numbers 18:29) ‘From all your gifts you present every
contribution due to יהוה, from all the best of them, the set-apart part of them.’ (Numbers 18:30)
“And you shall say to them, ‘When you have presented the best of it,
then the rest shall be reckoned to the Lĕwites as the yield of the
threshing-floor and as the yield of the winepress. (Numbers
18:31) ‘And you shall eat it in
any place, you and your households, for it is your reward for your service in
the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 18:32) and bear no sin because of it, when you have
presented the best of it, and do not profane the set-apart gifts of the children
of Yisra’ĕl, lest you die.’”
Walking righteously brings appointment and expectations (Usability) by YHWH- note his
love to obey and pray for the people--
(1Sa 11:14) And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “Come, and
let us go to Gilgal and renew the reign there.” (1Sa 11:15) and
all the people went to Gilgal, and there they set up Sha’ul to reign before יהוה in Gilgal, and there they made
slaughterings of peace offerings before יהוה. And there Sha’ul rejoiced, and all the
men of Yisra’ĕl, very greatly. 1Sa
12:1) And Shemu’ĕl said to all Yisra’ĕl,
“Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have set a
sovereign over you. (1Sa 12:2) “And now, look, the sovereign is walking
before you. And I am old and grey, and look, my sons are with you. And I have
walked before you from my youth to this day. (1Sa
12:3) “Look,
here I am. Witness against me before יהוה and before His
anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I
oppressed? Whom have I abused, or from whose hand have I received any bribe
with which to blind my eyes? – then I restore it to you.” (1Sa 12:4) And they said, “You
have not oppressed us or abused us, nor have you taken any bribe from
anyone’s hand.” (1Sa 12:5) So he said to them, “יהוה is witness against you, and His anointed
is witness today, that you have found naught in my hand.” And they answered,
“He is witness.” (1Sa 12:6) And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “It is יהוה who appointed Mosheh and Aharon, and who brought your fathers
up from the land of Mitsrayim. (1Sa 12:7)
“And now, stand still, so that I judge you before יהוה concerning all the righteous acts of יהוה which He
did to you and your fathers: (1Sa 12:8) “When
Yaʽaqoḇ had come to Mitsrayim, and your fathers cried out to יהוה, then יהוה sent
Mosheh and Aharon, who brought your fathers out of Mitsrayim and made them
dwell in this place. (1Sa 12:9) “But they forgot יהוה their Elohim, so He sold them into the hand
of Sisera, commander of the army of Ḥatsor, and into the hand of the
Philistines, and into the hand of the sovereign of Mo’aḇ. And they fought
against them. (1Sa 12:10) “And they cried out to יהוה, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we
have forsaken יהוה and served the Baʽals and the Ashtaroth. And now, deliver us
from the hand of our enemies, and we serve you.’ (1Sa
12:11) “And יהוה sent Yerubbaʽal,
and Beḏan, and Yiphtaḥ, and Shemu’ĕl, and delivered you out of the hand of
your enemies round about, and you dwelt in safety. (1Sa
12:12) “And when you saw that
Naḥash sovereign of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me,
‘No, but let a sovereign reign over us,’ when יהוה your Elohim was your sovereign. (1Sa 12:13)
“And now, here is the sovereign whom you have chosen and whom you have
asked. And see, יהוה has set a sovereign over you. (1Sa
12:14) “If you fear יהוה, and
shall serve Him and obey His voice, and not rebel against the command of יהוה, then
both you and the sovereign who reigns over you shall follow יהוה your Elohim. (1Sa 12:15)
“But if you do not obey the voice of יהוה, and shall rebel against the command of יהוה, then the
hand of יהוה
shall be against you, as it was against your fathers. (1Sa
12:16) “And now, stand and see
this great matter which יהוה does before your eyes: (1Sa 12:17)
“Is today not the wheat harvest? Let me call to יהוה, so that He sends thunder and rain – know
then and see that your evil is great, which you have done in the eyes of יהוה, in
asking for yourselves a sovereign.” (1Sa 12:18) And Shemu’ĕl called to יהוה, and יהוה sent thunder and rain that day. And all
the people greatly feared יהוה and Shemu’ĕl. (1Sa 12:19) And all the people said to Shemu’ĕl, “Pray
for your servants to יהוה your Elohim, that we do not die, for we have added to all our
sins this evil of asking for ourselves a sovereign.” (1Sa 12:20)
And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this
evil. Only, do not turn aside from following יהוה. And you shall serve יהוה with all your
heart, (1Sa 12:21) and do not turn aside after
worthless matters which do not profit or deliver, for they are
worthless. (1Sa 12:22) “For יהוה would not cast away His people, for His great Name’s sake,
seeing it has pleased יהוה to make you His people. (1Sa
12:23) “Also, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against יהוה in ceasing to pray
for you, but I shall teach you the good and straight way. (1Sa 12:24) “Only fear יהוה, and you shall
serve Him in truth with all your heart, for consider what marvels He has done
for you. (1Sa 12:25) “But if you persist in doing evil, both you
and your sovereign are consumed.”
We must keep ourselves in an obedient and humble mode- keeping no
offense- so we continue to hear His Instructions
(Hebrews 3:1) Therefore, set-apart brothers, partakers of
the heavenly calling, closely consider the Emissary and High Priest of our
confession, Messiah יהושע, (Hebrews 3:2) who was trustworthy to Him who
appointed Him, as also Mosheh in his entire house. (Hebrews
3:3) For this one has been deemed
worthy of more esteem than Mosheh, as much as He who built the house enjoys
more respect than the house. (Hebrews 3:4) Every house is built by someone, but He who
built all is Elohim. (Hebrews 3:5) And Mosheh indeed was trustworthy in his
entire house as a servant, for a witness of what would be spoken later, (Hebrews 3:6)
but Messiah as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold
fast the boldness and the boasting of the expectation firm to the end. (Hebrews 3:7)
Therefore, as the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if you
hear His voice, (Hebrews 3:8) do not harden your hearts as in
the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9) where your fathers tried Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.
(Hebrews 3:10)
“Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,
‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’
(Hebrews 3:11)
“As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter
into my rest...’ ”1 Footnote: 1Ps.
95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12) Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of
you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews 3:13)
but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness
of sin. (Hebrews 3:14) For we have become partakers of Messiah if we
hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end, (Hebrews
3:15) while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:16)
For whom, having heard, rebelled? Was it not all who came out of
Mitsrayim, led by Mosheh? (Hebrews 3:17) And with who was He grieved forty years? Was
it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? (Hebrews 3:18)
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to
those who did not obey? (Hebrews 3:19) So we see that they were unable
to enter in because of unbelief.
We are warned here not to murmur and complain; but to pray in the Spirit-
building up our most set apart faith and trust that He may direct us to produce
fruit that remains!
(Jude 1:9) But Miḵa’ĕl the chief messenger (Angel), in contending with the devil,
when he disputed about the body of Mosheh, presumed not to bring against him a
blasphemous accusation, but said, “יהוה rebuke you!” (Jude 1:10)
But these blaspheme that which they do not know. And that which they
know naturally, like unreasoning beasts, in these they corrupt themselves. (Jude 1:11)
Woe to them! They have gone in the way of Qayin, and gave themselves to
the delusion of Bilʽam for a reward, and perished in the rebellion of Qoraḥ. (Jude 1:12)
These are rocky reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you, feeding
themselves without fear, waterless clouds borne about by the winds, late autumn
trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots, (Jude 1:13)
wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shame, straying stars for
whom blackness of darkness is kept forever. (Jude
1:14) And Ḥanoḵ, the seventh
from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, יהוה comes with His myriads of set-apart ones, (Jude 1:15) to execute judgment on all, to punish all
who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have
committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked
sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jude
1:16) These are grumblers, complainers, who walk
according to their own lusts, and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of
others for the sake of gain. (Jude
1:17) But you, beloved ones,
remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Jude 1:18) because they told you that there would be
mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts. (Jude 1:19) These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the
Spirit. (Jude 1:20) But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your
most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart Spirit, (Jude 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim,
looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah unto everlasting life.
When hasatan inhabits the anti-messiah the last 42 months (The Great
Tribulation) we (who are born again and keep His commandments) are protected in
the wilderness!
(Rev 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he had been
thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Rev 12:14)
And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness
to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time,
from the presence of the serpent.
Note the swallowing of the flood (Which
are rebellious people doing evil against us) is like Korah’s rebellion!
(Rev 12:15) And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water
like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Rev 12:16)
And the earth helped the woman, and the
earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river (people-flood) which the dragon had
spewed out of his mouth.
Note who hasatan makes war against- not Judah or many fast asleep
Christians- but those of the believers who have the testimony of Yahshua
(born again spiritually) and keep His Commandments.
(Rev 12:17) And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the
commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.
My
prayer for you Loved One- is that you and ALL your loved ones guard the
commands of YHWH and possess the testimony of Yahshua the Messiah. That you
HEAR and OBEY Yahshua- our Chief Shepherd, and escape and endure the enemy;
producing much fruit that glorifies our Father! Hallelu-YAH! Please understand the seasons we
are in loved one; (Mar 13:8) “For nation (ethnos-race) shall rise against nation
(ethnos-race), and reign against reign. And there shall be earthquakes in
various places, and there shall be scarcities of food, and disturbances. These
are the beginnings of birth-pains. (Mar 13:9) “But take heed to yourselves, for they shall
deliver you up to councils and to congregations. You shall be beaten, and you
shall be brought before rulers and sovereigns for my sake, for a witness to
them. (Mar 13:10) “And the Good News has to be proclaimed first
to all the nations. (Mar 13:11) “And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not
worry beforehand what you are to say. But whatever is given you in that hour,
speak that, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Set-apart Spirit. Lastly
my prayer is that you recognize and understand the Seasons of Distress we are
in and have wisdom from Heaven- that you and your loved ones escape and endure
and STAND AT HIS APPEARING! Thanks much for
your thoughtful prayer intercession for Billie and I- May YHWH bless you back
100 fold! We thank you from the core of our beings.
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.
