www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com w/video audio to build our trust in Messiah! Please
see the short attached consecutive prophetic dreams.
You may listen to our latest radio
teaching (MIDRASH Study) at http://www.csbnradio.com/reviveamerica/
Biblical observations that will help us make ourselves ready as a BRIDE and virgin
(pure heart) with oil in her lamp. 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!
Loved One; I believe Father is insisting that
I again warn us to make ourselves ready. Therefore; we will review again about
what He told me while I was camped out on the Galilee in 2000. I cannot imagine telling this story 3 times
(3 weeks in a row is out of my comfort zone) but obedience is better than
sacrifice and I will obey so carefully review and consider with me loved one. Please see the attachment dreams given to a
respected Pastor from the USA as his consecutive dreams summarize what I was
shown. Fear Not, Only Believe as Yahshua instructed
the synagogue ruler who was told his daughter was dead! How can we believe and have faith? REPENT!
(1Jn 3:18)
My little children let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and
in truth.
(1Jn 3:19)
And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall set our hearts
at rest before Him, (1Jn 3:20) that if our
heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all. (1Jn 3:21)
Beloved ones, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward
Elohim. (1Jn 3:22) And whatever we ask
we receive from Him, because we guard His commands and do what is pleasing in
His sight.1 Footnote: 1Prov.
28:9, John 9:31, Jm. 5:16. (1Jn 3:23) And this is His command, that we should
believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and love one another, as He
gave us command. (1Jn 3:24) And the one guarding His commands stays in
Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays
in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.1 Footnote: 1John 14:23-24, Acts 5:32, Rom. 8:7-11,
1 John 2:5, 1 John 4:13.
With
His insistence, we must review some of the reasons I give many hard things
against us so that we will not be deceived and asleep; thinking all is okay,
and that an intimate relationship with YHWH is not necessary. We will be given (and are now given) the opportunity to
repent before the Great and Awesome (Terrible
in some translations) DAY OF YHWH (translated
Day of the Lord in many translations) - the very day that Yahshua left off
reading THE SCROLL from Isaiah 61 (the
rest of the sentence) as His reason for His coming the first time was to
preach the Acceptable Day of the Lord- not the Day of Wrath and Vengeance which
is when He comes again. (Isa 61:1) The
Spirit of the Master יהוה is upon me,
because יהוה
has anointed me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to those who are bound, (Isa 61:2) to proclaim the
acceptable year of יהוה,
and the
day of vengeance of our Elohim, to comfort all who mourn, (Isa 61:3) to appoint unto those who mourn in Tsiyon:
to give them embellishment for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And they shall be called trees of
righteousness, a planting of יהוה, to be adorned.
He will have given us vast opportunities to repent;
before His Judgment Day. Yahchanan (John)
- means Yah’s mercy, and John came preaching REPENT for the Kingdom is at hand! Then Yahshua tells us Elijah
will indeed come first BEFORE the Great and Awesome Day but if we can receive
it, he has already come with the coming of John the Immerser (Baptist).
Obviously, we also will need to repent before His coming. If you have read many
of my Torah Studies, you know that I have been warning that a sword (And famine
and pestilence) is coming on our land and an intimate relationship alone will
be left. Our Deliverer is coming for those that will humble themselves, making
themselves ready as a BRIDE! Let’s make sure we are among them!
(Eze 33:1) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Eze 33:2) “Son of man, speak
to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and
the people of the land shall take a man from their borders and shall make him
their watchman, (Eze 33:3) and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and shall blow
the ram’s horn and shall warn the people,
(Eze 33:4)
then
whoever shall hear the sound of the ram’s horn and shall not take warning, if
the sword comes and takes him away, his blood is on his own head. (Eze 33:5) ‘He heard the sound
of the ram’s horn, but he did not take warning, his blood is on himself. But he
who takes warning shall deliver his being. (Eze
33:6) ‘But if the watchman sees the sword
coming and shall not blow the ram’s horn, and the people shall not be warned,
and the sword comes and takes any being from among them, he is taken away in
his crookedness, and his blood I require at the watchman’s hand.’ (Eze 33:7) “And you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the
house of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall hear a word from my mouth and you shall warn
them for me. (Eze 33:8) “When I say to the
wrong, ‘O wrong one, you shall certainly die!’ and you have not spoken to warn
the wrong from his way, that wrong one shall die in his crookedness, and his blood I require at your hand.
(Comment: this is why a watchman will and
must tell you what they see coming regardless of our feelings) (Eze 33:9) “But when you have warned1the wrong to turn from
his way, and he has not turned from his way, he shall die in his crookedness, but you have delivered your being.
Footnote: 1Similar messages in
3:18-21, 18:20-30.
(Eze 33:23) Then the word of יהוה came to
me, saying, (Eze 33:24) “Son of man, they who inhabit those ruins in the land of Yisra’ĕl are
saying, ‘Aḇraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; let
the land be given to us as a possession.’ (Eze
33:25) “Therefore
say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “You eat meat with blood, and you lift up
your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
(Eze 33:26) “You depend on your sword, and you commit abominations, and each of
you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?” ’
This is what I see coming and a warning for America- especially the United
States of America
(Eze 33:27) “Say this to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “As I live, those who are in the ruins
shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field I shall give to
the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and caves shall
die of the pestilence. (Eze 33:28) “And I shall make the land a desert and a waste, the arrogance
of her strength shall cease, and the mountains of Yisra’ĕl shall be a waste,
with none passing through. (Eze 33:29) “And they shall know that I am יהוה,
when I have made the land a desert and a waste, because of all their
abominations which they have done.” ’
… (Eze 33:31)
“And they come to you as people do, and they sit
before you as my people, and they hear
your words, but they do not do them. (We are required to She’mah- LISTEN/HEAR and DO! We are to become DOERS
of the Word and NOT hearers only; otherwise we deceive ourselves!) For with their mouth they show much love – their hearts
pursue their greedy gain. (Eze 33:32) “And see, you are to
them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and playing well on
an instrument. And they hear your
words, but they do not do them. (Eze
33:33) “And
when it comes – see, it shall come – then they shall know that a prophet has
been in their midst.”
With a REPENT NOW understanding in our hearts (Which
alone removes condemnation); let us consider carefully our next action from the
testimony below; especially if we live in the USA- taking every thought captive
to obedience to Messiah and FEAR NOT! Our King can protect us wherever you are-
even in a fiery furnace IF you have
asked Him where we are to be and obeyed what He said- which alone
would give us permission to not “Come out of her or partake in her
plagues” (Yes, even the country) Otherwise we can expect to partake of her
plagues; remember Mystery Babylon is drunk on the blood of believers, including
yours and mine if we disobey warning. FEAR NOT. Perfect Love casts out fear, Only Believe.
Again; reviewing my
testimony concerning where we in the USA are living: In
late 1997 or early 1998, I asked our Heavenly Father, “If all these “end times”
preachers are correct why isn’t America (USA
was my specific thought but not my word in my question) in the scriptures?”
He replied, “You are in the scriptures- go get your
Bible and I will show you.” Surprised, I ran toward my house (I was outside) and got my Bible and sat
down in my comfortable chair anticipating with prideful glee and a smile on my
face- the great USA is in the Bible (I
was quite proud) and I’m going to receive inside information as to where!
Opening my Bible I asked again, “where?” He replied, “Turn to Revelation 17:1
and start reading, son and you will see America as I see her, but you may not
like her name.” I was still
excited with joyful expectation; “we’re in the Bible!” Joyful at least until I
got to verses 5 and 6- so share my anticipation with me as I read: (Rev 17:1) And one of the seven messengers who had
the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, “Come,
I shall show you the judgment of the great whore sitting on many waters; 1 (Footnote: 1See
v. 15.) (Rev 17:2) with whom the sovereigns of the earth committed whoring, and
the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her whoring.” (Rev 17:3) And
he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting
on a scarlet beast covered with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten
horns. (Rev 17:4) And the woman was dressed in purple and
scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations
and the filthiness of her whoring,1 Footnote:
1Jer. 51:7. (Rev 17:5) and
upon her forehead a name written, a secret: BAḆEL
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Rev 17:6) And
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood
of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of יהושע. And having seen her, I marveled –
greatly marveled!
As the thought came Mystery Babylon- the Great Whore? I
quickly replied, “No Lord- that’s IRAQ!” “That’s Iraq!” He replied, “It was Iraq, now it’s you.” My understanding was
overwhelmed, and my thoughts kept racing- “I’ve heard from many great teachers
and they told me it’s Iraq!” He replied, “You are the
wealthiest country in the world and you do much wickedness.” I thought
we did “good” around the world and were the most benevolent and giving aid
country; and that is partly correct. I was still pondering these thoughts
several years later while by myself camped out on the Galilee in Israel for 11
days reading the gospels. Someone had given me a book to witness to unbelievers
while in Israel, saying to me, “The Lord told me to buy this and give it to you
as he has someone you are to give it to.” I replied, “I don’t know anyone here
but – whatever.” On the 10th day of my tent camp out between
Bethsaida and the Jordan River (At the
top of the Galilee) I heard from Him. He said, “fast tomorrow I want you to
take the book “They thought for Themselves” (The
witness book written by Sid Roth a messianic Jew I had been given which spoke of
Jews who had accepted Yahshua-Jesus as
Messiah) to the man (I considered a
rabid rabbi) who heads up the Kabala college in Safed.” I replied, “No Lord
I don’t want to do that.” He replied, “But you will.”
I said again, “But I don’t want to.” He replied with finality, “But you will.” Thinking for a moment before I replied
to His end of discussion answer I
said; “Okay Lord, I will do it, but I want something from you. You told me
several years ago that America is Mystery Babylon the whore; and IF that is
true, (I still had not determined it was
true) I want to know where a safe place is in America to get my family and
“ride this out” (The Great Tribulation).
I was imagining remote Montana or Wyoming or perhaps even the mountains of
Colorado. What I heard next I spoke to no one for over 1 ½ years- I just could
not believe it myself. Here’s His reply and sorry, you don’t have years to
consider its validity as you may have only weeks or months to both decide and act:
“Son there will
be nothing left of America, in one hour her destruction will come and the sea
captains will marvel at the smoke of her burning.” These thoughts
were downloaded me next: It’s a
place or country- not a city like most translations say; they are anxious
because there is no market left; if it were a city- they would just transfer
their market to a different city, but that’s obviously not an option. Nothing
left- only a place for every unclean bird (demonic
spirits). Please pray about and ask for yourself concerning these matters
as we can be protected anywhere we are told to be. You cannot be directed by
someone else revelation or understanding, you must seek confirmation as you and
I are both required to rightly divide the word and a matter is not truth
without 2 or 3 witnesses confirming. May
be time to fast and pray and rid ourselves of all unbelief- that we may hear
clearly and obey what He shows us personally. Please don’t assume
anything, but seek Him while He may be found and obey Him! He alone will be our
Deliverer and refuge! In your consideration of these times and this testimony;
remember we are a 3 part being. We are a spirit being made in YHWH’s image; we
have a soul (Mind, will, intellect, emotion); and physical- we live in a body-
so we are spirit, soul, and body. My belief is that we likely must “Come out of
her” (Babylon the whore) in all three areas: spiritually or the whore church or
religious system because it is about relationship not religion or duty; soul or
culture that is demonic or worldly; and physically – like places or country or even
countries. Consider carefully for yourself and your loved ones.
We are not
yet in the final 42 months called the Great Tribulation (Not a 7 year Great Tribulation) as it
is time, times, and a half time or 1 year plus 2 years plus ½ year (3 ½ years) as Daniel stated. (The 7 years is likened to the 7 years each
of famine/good that Joseph was a shadow picture by gathering the 12 brothers as
likened to Yahshua coming for us- the lost sheep of Israel; gathered to Yahshua
by the process of being “Born Again”) The 7 years of good years and the
last 7 years of bad years we are now likely in the midst of. We are NOT YET in
the final 31/2 years of Great Tribulation due to this Scripture promise which
guarantees a great falling away and the man of lawlessness (breaking YHWH’S laws) or the son of perdition, the anti-messiah
or anti-christ which will command us to worship him and the false prophet
which will agree with him- (Head of the
world religion which will likely be the next and last Pope) This man must
be revealed
(not speculation) first before
the Great Tribulation starts. I do suspect we are very close. Remember with
me; Yahshua said that when the fig tree (Israel) budded- THAT generation (I believe
that a Biblical generation is 70 years) would NOT pass away until it was
all fulfilled. My expectation is that this “beginning before the Great Tribulation” could occur any time
before Passover 2014- which yes, that leaves my expectation for the Last Trump
in September or October time frame of 2017; (If this is possible, then we must see great turmoil and civil unrest
first- This is all my EXPECTATION-
NOT thus says YHWH!) which fits
perfectly with the fig tree (Israel)
budding in 1947 (Nov 29) and even if
you use 1948; Hebraically the year has not changed from November 1947 to
January 1948 as the year starts over Biblically just before Passover
which is usually in April or May. So
why do I think there will be much trouble and FEMA camps, confiscation of guns
etc. even before that 2014 Passover or 2013 Hanukah? (Hanukah 2013 December- is Haman being
revealed as a picture or pattern of anti-christ or anti-messiah. He would
declare himself God on Passover or thereabouts leaving the 42 months of GREAT
TRIBULATION expiring at Feast of Trumpets 2017- the day “no man knows the day
or hour”- which most of you know is a Hebrew idiom for Feast of Trumpets- the
only Biblically commanded Feast or Moedim that you can never know the day or
hour.) Why before all this? (Luke
21:8)
And He said, “See that you are not led astray,
(deceived/deluded) 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 (famine) 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.
I believe we need to think these matters through for
ourselves right now and resolve our response of trust in Him beforehand; sorting through His precious promises and draw ever
near to our coming King. We must FEAR NOT even unto death! Let’s be
used as worthy vessels of honor by our choice to trust Him even unto death.
Hey, this is only a miniscule portion of our existence as we will be back on
the earth to finish our Shabbat or 7th day (Millennium) of this earth; (Remember
a day with YHWH is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as a day; Day 1 Adam, Day 2 Noah,
Day 3 Abraham, Day 4 Yahshua, Day 5- 1-1000 A.D. or Common Era, Day 6-
1001-2000 A.D. thereabout and Day 7- Very Soon) prior to us receiving a new
earth and a new heaven, where we will live with YHWH forever assuming we don’t
become part of the deceived and deluded fallen away or “rebellious
stand” as my friend
Michael Rood says is the more correct translation. (Not much difference in the outcome in my humble opinion- but it does
more clearly indicate the reason for our destruction if we take that stand
against the Torah (Instructions) and the Prophets since Heaven and Earth will
pass before they pass)
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! 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; EMP blasts knocking out our electronic ignitions, cell
phones, televisions and computers; 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 on our heads will be lost:
(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.
My expectation is: DECEPTION won’t overcome us who study
and consider ourselves sober and alert- AWARE of the SEASONS (Moedim- rehearsals- FEASTS of YHWH!) Let’s
begin by reading again the promise of delusion spoken and guaranteed by Yahshua
the WORD made flesh that dwelled among us.
2Th 2:3 let no one deceive you in any way, because the falling
away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness1 is to be
revealed, the son of destruction, Footnote: 1Some texts read sin
instead of lawlessness. This man might be the same one we read of in the
prophecy in Isa. 14:12 – Hĕlĕl (“Heileil”), meaning “the shining one,” the
sovereign of Baḇel. (Comment:
consider the “King” of Babel would be equivalent to the leader of the U.S.) 2Th 2:4 who
opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim or that is
worshipped, so that he sits as Elohim in the Dwelling Place of Elohim, showing
himself that he is Elohim.
Why are these times so perilous?
Because there is a return of the wickedness as in the Days of Noah; which
Yahshua promised would return prior to His arrival as Judge and King- this
wickedness is all around us- government, culture, lack of morals, etc. This
means that the great delusion promised is at the door: 2Th 2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they
did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be
saved. 2Th 2:11 and
for this reason Elohim
sends them a working of
delusion,
for them to believe the falsehood,
1 Footnote: 1Eze. 20:25, John
9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Rom. 1:24-28. 2Th
2:12 in order that all should be judged who did not
believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.
NOTE AGAIN: the MANY and the FEW. If we take a hundred
men and /or women representing 100% - how many is “many”- would you agree over
50%? That would allow 50% for the few- that’s not really likely. Could it
possibly be 70% for the many, which allows 30% for the few? That’s possible.
How about 90% for the many and 10% for the few?
We have decisions to consider that we are making or have made that may
not be wisdom for these days are more perilous than most of us are aware.
(Mat
7:12)
“Therefore, whatever you wish men to do to you,
do also to them, for this is the Torah and the Prophets. (Mat 7:13) “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide –
and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. (Mat 7:14) “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed1
which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Footnote: 1Or the way is afflicted.
Remember Israel
was “budded” November 1947 (Most agree a biblical generation is 70 years, so 2017 could be
LAST TRUMP)
(Mar 13:28) “And learn this
parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts
forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. (Mar
13:29) “So
you also, when you see this taking place, know that it is near, at the door. (Mar 13:30) “Truly, I say to
you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all this takes
place. (Mar 13:31) “The heaven and the
earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Comment: Which generation shall not pass?
The one who sees these things) (Mar 13:32) “But concerning that
day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. (Mar 13:33) “Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not
know when the time is –
Some of us have believed that going forward
once in a prayer line and “accepting Jesus” is our ticket into eternity. Not likely- we are expected to grow up and
walk by belief and faith or else why would Yahshua (Jesus) say we are required to OVERCOME:
(Rev 3:5) “He who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes, and I shall by no
means blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I shall confess his
name before My Father and before His messengers (Angels). Further we are required to overcome by the blood
of the Lamb AND the word of our testimonies. (What we speak and DO!) Further we
are required to ENDURE TO THE END! (Mar
13:12)
“And brother shall deliver up brother to death
and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall
put them to death. (Mar 13:13) “And you shall be
hated by all because of My Name. But he who shall have endured to
the end, he shall be saved.1
Footnote: 1Mt. 10:22, Mt. 24:13. (Mar 13:14) “And when you see the ‘abomination
that lays waste,’1 spoken of by Dani’ĕl
the prophet, set up where it should not be” – he who reads, let him understand
– “then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the
mountains.
Here’s why we must forsake traditions that are not lined up with His Torah
(Instructions- Word): Our doctrines (DOINGS) MUST line up with the word
forever established in Heaven if we expect our Creator to confirm His word with
signs and wonders following as also He told Jeremiah- “I am watching over my
word to perform it!”—
(Jeremiah 1:11) And the
word of יהוה came to me,
saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond
tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over
my word to do it.” (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to me with their
mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9)
‘But
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as teachings (Doctrines) the commands of
men.’ ”1
Footnote: 1Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki.
17:19.
We are COMMANDED to NOT add to nor
diminish His Torah/Word/Instructions: (Deuteronomy
4:1)
“And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and the right-rulings which I
am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go in and possess the land
which יהוה Elohim of
your fathers is giving you. (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

Guard against FEAR! The fearful are
thrown into hell’s flames with the drunks, whores and sorcerers! He wants us to
trust Him who has power to both kill the body and throw us into hell fires!
Hasatan is only a created being allowed only to test the bride to see who she
is- really- yes even in the fiery furnace- we can trust our mighty Elohim who
sent Yahshua to pay the price of bitter waters and death of the whoring,
adulterous bride that He may come again for a bride who makes herself READY!
Hallelu-YAH!
He still
desires intimacy and that comes from WILLING obedience as that is the only sacrifice that is acceptable to
Him! A heart to
HEAR and OBEY will always
receive more instructions whereas a heart in rebellion- a “rebellious stand” will
be cut off until REPENTANCE or death comes!
Results guaranteed for obedience and guarding His commands- not man
made ones! Note guaranteed Generational Curses or Blessings based on our
response to His WORDS (Instructions-Torah)! Some think they are “hiding” their sin- hehe- there is no hidden sin
from our Creator; as He will always deliver the JUST results- yes even to our
children’s grandchildren if need be! Flee sin- FEAR NOT!
For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous
Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and
fourth generations of those who hate me, (Exodus 20:6) but showing
kindness to thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands. (Exodus 20:7) “You do not bring1 the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה
does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.
Footnote: 1Or lift up, or take. (Exodus 20:8) “Remember the
Sabbath day, to set it apart. (Exodus 20:9) “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, (Exodus 20:10) but the seventh day
is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not
do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor
your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your
gates. Footnote: 1There
are other Sabbaths, but this is the weekly Sabbath. (Exodus 20:11)
“For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Loving our neighbors as ourselves! How our Creator values and determines
this…
(Exodus 20:12) “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are
prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Comment: this is the first command with a promised result- that we
live long on the Earth and prosper and that is certainly not limited to
financial prosperity at all): (Eph
6:1) Children, obey your parents in the
Master, for this is right. (Eph 6:2) “Respect 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.”
KJV-
If you and I obey these commands (Torah/Instructions); we qualify as loving our neighbor as
ourselves. You and I would never murder ourselves (unless we had demons). If we loved our neighbor we would never want
his wife, or steal from him/her; we would not report something that we were not
an eyewitness to; we would not steal his servants, or any of his possessions. (Exodus 20:13) “You do not murder.
(Exodus 20:14)
“You do not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:15) “You do not steal. (Exodus
20:16) “You do not bear false
witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:17) “You do not covet your neighbor’s house; you
do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female
servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:18)
And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of
the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And
the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, (Exodus 20:19) and said to Mosheh, “You speak with
us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:20)
And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not
fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before
you, so that you do not sin.” (Exodus
20:21) So the people stood at a
distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was. (Exodus 20:22)
And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ĕl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from
the heavens. (Exodus 20:23) ‘You do not make besides me mighty ones of
silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves. (Exodus 20:24)
‘Make an altar of earth for me, and you shall slaughter on it your burnt
offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place
where I
cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you.
Yahshua reminds us: (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.” Then
we read 1 John: (1Jn 2:15) Do not love the
world or that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not
in him.1 Footnote: 1Jm.
4:4. (1Jn 2:16) Because all that is in the world – the lust
of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the
Father but is of the world. (1Jn 2:17) And the world passes away, and the lust of
it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains forever.
Loved
One- we are manifesting as the sons and daughters of the Creator as we learn to
yield and obey. It is
called She’mah (HEAR AND OBEY) O’
Israel! (1Jn 3:1) See what love the Father has given us, that
we should be called children of Elohim! For this reason the world does not know
us, because it did not know Him. (1Jn 3:2) Beloved ones, now we are children of Elohim.
And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is
revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1Jn 3:3) And
everyone having this expectation in Him cleanses himself, as He is clean. (1Jn 3:4) Everyone
doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. (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.
Becoming His family daily
as we die to self! Hallelu-YAH!
Remember; “SIN” is defined as doing away with the law or Torahlessness in 1st
John 3 and a look at our heart attitude of loving our neighbor as ourselves- remember the vast power of our “WORDS” and
their ability to direct our steps! (Pro 18:21)
Death and life are in the power
of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Ve’etchanan “And I Pleaded/Sought”
Deuteronomy 3:23-7:1; Isaiah 40:1-31 (Extended); Mark 12:28-44 (Extended)
Father
really wants us to obey Him that He may extend His promises to us! Look at the
pattern we learn from Moses-
(Deuteronomy 3:23) “And I pleaded with יהוה at that time, saying, (Deuteronomy 3:24)
‘O Master יהוה, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your
strong hand, for who is a mighty one in the heavens or on earth who does
according to your works and according to your might? (Deuteronomy
3:25) ‘I pray, let me pass over
and see the good land beyond the Yardĕn, this good hill country, and Leḇanon.’
(Deuteronomy 3:26) “But יהוה was enraged with me, for your sake, and
would not listen to me, and יהוה said to me, ‘Enough of that! Speak no more to me about this
matter. (Deuteronomy 3:27) ‘Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your
eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and look with your
eyes, for you do not pass over this Yardĕn. (Deuteronomy
3:28) ‘But charge Yehoshua, and
strengthen him and make him brave, for he shall pass over before this people
and causes them to inherit the land which you see.’ (Deuteronomy
3:29) “And we dwelt in the valley
opposite Bĕyth Peʽor.
We are commanded to: NOT ADD TO or DIMINISH His Instructions!
(Deuteronomy 4:1) “And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and
the right-rulings which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go
in and possess the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers is giving
you. (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. (Deuteronomy 4:3) “Your eyes have seen what יהוה did at Baʽal
Peʽor, for יהוה
your Elohim has destroyed from your midst all the men who followed Baʽal Peʽor.
(Deuteronomy 4:4) “But you who are clinging to יהוה your Elohim are
alive today, every one of you. (Deuteronomy 4:5) “See, I have taught you laws and
right-rulings, as יהוה my Elohim commanded me, to do thus in the land which you go to
possess. (Deuteronomy 4:6) “And you shall guard and do them, for this is
your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all
these laws, and they shall say; ‘Only- a wise and understanding people is this
great nation!’ (Deuteronomy 4:7) “For what great nation is there which has
Elohim so near to it, as יהוה our Elohim is to us, whenever we call on Him? (Deuteronomy 4:8)
“And what great nation is there that has such laws and righteous
right-rulings like all this Torah which I set before you this day? (Deuteronomy 4:9)
“Only, guard yourself, and guard your life diligently, lest you forget
the Words your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all the
days of your life. And you shall make them known to your children and your
grandchildren. (Deuteronomy 4:10) “The day when you stood before יהוה your Elohim in
Ḥorĕḇ, יהוה
said to me, ‘Assemble the people to me and I make them hear My Words, so that
they learn to fear me all the days they live on the earth and teach them to
their children.’ (Deuteronomy 4:11) “And you came near and stood at the foot of
the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the heavens –
darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. (Deuteronomy
4:12) “And יהוה spoke to you out of the midst of the fire.
You heard a voice of words, but saw no form, you only heard a voice. (Deuteronomy 4:13)
“And He made known to you His covenant which He commanded you to do, the
Ten Words,
and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. (Deuteronomy
4:14) “And יהוה commanded me at that time to teach you
laws and right-rulings, for you to do them in the land which you pass over to
possess. (Deuteronomy 4:15) “Therefore, diligently guard yourselves, for
you saw no form when יהוה spoke to you at Ḥorĕḇ out of the midst of the fire, (Deuteronomy 4:16)
lest you should do corruptly and shall make for yourselves a carved
image in the form of any figure – the likeness of male or female, (Deuteronomy 4:17)
the likeness of any beast that is on the earth or the likeness of any
winged bird that flies in the heavens, (Deuteronomy
4:18) the likeness of any
creature that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the
water under the earth; (Deuteronomy 4:19) and lest you lift up your eyes to the
heavens, and shall see the sun, and the moon, and the stars – all the host of
the heavens – and you be drawn away into bowing down to them and serving them,
which יהוה
your Elohim has allotted to all the peoples under all the heavens. (Deuteronomy 4:20)
“But יהוה has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of
Mitsrayim, to be His people, an inheritance, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 4:21)
“And יהוה was enraged with me because of your words, and swore that I
would not pass over the Yardĕn, and that I would not enter the good land which יהוה your
Elohim is giving you as an inheritance. (Deuteronomy
4:22) “I am to die in this land,
I am not passing over the Yardĕn, but you are passing over, and shall possess
that good land. (Deuteronomy 4:23) “Guard yourselves, lest you forget the
covenant of יהוה your Elohim which He made with you, and shall make for
yourselves a carved image in the form of whatever יהוה your Elohim has forbidden you. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
“For יהוה your Elohim is a consuming fire, a jealous Ěl. (Deuteronomy 4:25) “When you bring forth children and
grandchildren, and shall grow old in the land, and shall do corruptly and make
a carved image in the form of whatever, and shall do what is evil in the eyes
of יהוה
your Elohim to provoke Him, (Deuteronomy 4:26) “I shall call the heavens and earth to
witness against you on that day, that you soon completely perish from the land
which you pass over the Yardĕn to possess – you do not prolong your days in it
but are completely destroyed. (Deuteronomy 4:27) “And יהוה shall scatter you among the peoples, and
you shall be left few in number among the gentiles where יהוה drives you. (Deuteronomy
4:28) “And there you shall serve
mighty ones, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor
hear nor eat nor smell. (Deuteronomy 4:29) “But from there you shall seek יהוה your Elohim, and
shall find, when you search for Him with all your heart1
and with all your being. Footnote: 1Jer.
29:13. (Deuteronomy 4:30) “In your distress, when all these words shall
come upon you in the latter days, then you shall return to יהוה your Elohim and
shall obey His voice. (Deuteronomy 4:31) “For יהוה your Elohim is a compassionate Ěl, He does
not forsake you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which
He swore to them. (Deuteronomy 4:32) “For ask now of the days that are past, which
were before you, since the day that Elohim created man on the earth, and ask
from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there has
been a Word as great as this, or has been heard like it. (Deuteronomy 4:33)
“Have any people ever heard the voice of Elohim speaking out of the
midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? (Deuteronomy
4:34) “Or has Elohim tried to go
and take for Himself a nation from the midst of a nation by trials, and by
signs, and by wonders, and by battle, and by a strong hand and an outstretched
arm, and by great fearsome deeds, according to all that יהוה your Elohim did for you in Mitsrayim
before your eyes? (Deuteronomy 4:35) “You have been shown it, to know that יהוה Himself
is Elohim; there is no one beside Him. (Deuteronomy
4:36) “From the heavens He let
you hear His voice, to instruct you, and on earth He showed you His great fire,
and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. (Deuteronomy
4:37) “And because He loved your
fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought you out of
Mitsrayim with His Presence, with His great power, (Deuteronomy
4:38) to drive out from before
you nations greater and stronger than you, to bring you in, to give you their
land as an inheritance, as it is today. (Deuteronomy
4:39) “And you shall know today,
and shall recall to your heart that יהוה Himself is Elohim in the heavens above and
on the earth beneath; there is none else. (Deuteronomy
4:40) “And you shall guard His
laws and His commands which I command you today, so that it is well with you
and with your children after you, and so that you prolong your days on the soil
which יהוה
your Elohim is giving you for all time.” (Deuteronomy
4:41) Then Mosheh separated three
cities beyond the Yardĕn, toward the rising of the sun, (Deuteronomy 4:42) for him who killed someone to flee there, he
who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past,
and might flee to one of these cities and live: (Deuteronomy
4:43) Betser in the wilderness in the level land for the Re’uḇĕnites,
and Ramoth in Gilʽaḏ for the Gaḏites, and Golan in Bashan for the
Menashshites. (Deuteronomy 4:44) And this is the Torah which Mosheh set before
the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 4:45) These are the witnesses, and the laws, and
the right-rulings which Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl after they
came out of Mitsrayim, (Deuteronomy 4:46) beyond
the Yardĕn, in the valley opposite Bĕyth Peʽor, in the land of Siḥon sovereign
of the Amorites, who dwelt at Ḥeshbon, whom Mosheh and the children of
Yisra’ĕl had smitten after they came out of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy
4:47) And they took possession of
his land and the land of Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, two sovereigns of the
Amorites, who were beyond the Yardĕn, toward the rising of the sun, (Deuteronomy 4:48) from Aroʽĕr, which is on the bank
of the wadi Arnon, even to Mount Siyon, which is Ḥermon, (Deuteronomy 4:49) and all the desert plain beyond
the Yardĕn as far as the Sea of the Araḇah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
HEAR! Master; give us ears to hear you and the courage to obey! TEN
WORDS!
(Deuteronomy 5:1) And Mosheh called all Yisra’ĕl, and said to
them, “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl, the laws and right-rulings
which I speak in your hearing today. And you shall learn them, and guard to do
them. (Deuteronomy 5:2) “יהוה our Elohim made a covenant with us

fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. (Deuteronomy 5:4)
“יהוה

“I stood between יהוה and you at that time, to declare to you the Word of יהוה – for you

fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate
me, (Deuteronomy 5:10) but showing kindness to
thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands. (Deuteronomy

(Deuteronomy 5:22) “These Words יהוה spoke to all your assembly, in the
mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness,
with a loud voice, and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of
stone and gave them to me. (Deuteronomy 5:23) “And it came to be, when you heard the voice
from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that
you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders, (Deuteronomy 5:24) and said, ‘See, יהוה our Elohim has
shown us His esteem and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the
midst of the fire. Today we have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he

from the hand of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy
7:9) “And you shall know that יהוה your
Elohim, He is Elohim, the trustworthy Ěl guarding covenant and kindness for a
thousand generations with those who love Him, and those who guard His commands,
(Deuteronomy 7:10) but repaying those who hate Him to their
face, to destroy them. He does not delay to do so with him who hates
Him, He repays him to his face. (Deuteronomy 7:11) “And you shall guard the command, and the
laws, and the right-rulings which I command you today, to do them.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and His people scattered everywhere!
Prepare the way for His return!
(Isa 40:1) “Comfort, comfort
my people!” says your Elohim. (Isa 40:2) “Speak to the heart of Yerushalayim, and cry
out to her, that her hard service is completed, that her crookedness is
pardoned, and that she has received from the hand of יהוה double for all her sins.” (Isa 40:3) The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of יהוה; make straight in
the desert a highway for our Elohim. (Isa 40:4) “Let every valley be raised, and every
mountain and hill made low. And the steep ground shall become level, and the
rough places smooth. (Isa 40:5) “And the esteem of יהוה shall be revealed, and all flesh together
shall see it. For the mouth of יהוה has spoken.” (Isa 40:6) The voice said, “Cry out!” and he said, “What
do I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of
the field. (Isa 40:7) “Grass shall wither; the flower shall fade,
when the Spirit of יהוה has blown on it! Truly the people are as grass! (Isa 40:8)
“Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade, but the Word of our Elohim stands forever1.” Footnote: 11 Peter 1:24-25. (Isa 40:9)
You, who bring good news to Tsiyon, get up into the high mountain. You,
who bring good news to Yerushalayim, lift up your voice with strength, lift it
up, be not afraid. Say to the cities of Yehuḏah, “See your Elohim!” (Isa 40:10)
See, the Master יהוה comes with a strong hand, and His arm rules for Him. See, His
reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. (Isa
40:11) He feeds His flock like a
shepherd; He gathers the lambs with His arm, and carries them in His bosom,
gently leading those who are with young. (Isa 40:12) Who has measured the waters in the hollow of
his hand, and measured the heavens with a span, and contained the dust of the
earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a
balance? (Isa 40:13) Who has meted out the Spirit of יהוה, or as
His counselor taught Him? (Isa 40:14) With whom did He take counsel, and who
instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right-ruling? Who taught Him
knowledge, and showed Him the way of understanding? (Isa
40:15) See, nations are as a drop
in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the balance. See, He lifts up isles as
fine dust. (Isa 40:16) And Leḇanon is not enough to burn, nor its
beasts enough for a burnt offering. (Isa 40:17) All nations before Him are as a non-entity,
and they are reckoned by Him as less than a speck, and emptiness. (Isa 40:18)
And to whom would you liken Ěl? And what likeness would you compare to Him?
(Isa 40:19)
The workman molds a graven image, and the goldsmith overspreads it with
gold, and the silversmith casts silver chains. (Isa
40:20) He who is too poor for
such an offering chooses a tree that does not rot. He seeks for himself a
skilled craftsman to prepare a carved image that does not totter. (Isa 40:21)
Did you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? (Isa 40:22) It
is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like
grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them
out like a tent to dwell in, (Isa 40:23) who brings princes to naught, shall make the
rulers of the earth as emptiness. (Isa 40:24) Hardly have they been planted, hardly have
they been sown, hardly has their stock taken root in the earth, when He shall
blow on them and they wither, and a whirlwind take them away like stubble. (Isa 40:25) “And
to whom then do you liken me, or to whom am I compared?” says the
Set-apart One. (Isa 40:26) Lift up your eyes on high and see. Who has
created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls them all
by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power – not one
is missing. (Isa 40:27) Why do you say, O Yaʽaqoḇ, and speak, O
Yisra’ĕl, “My way is hidden from יהוה, and my rights are overlooked by my
Elohim”? (Isa 40:28) Did you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting Elohim, יהוה, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. (Isa 40:29) He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no
might He increases strength. (Isa 40:30) Even youths shall
faint and be weary, and young men stumble and fall, (Isa 40:31) but those who wait on יהוה renew their strength, they raise up the
wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint.
We love YHVH with all our heart by loving obedience and we love our neighbor
as ourselves by receiving our Messiah’s love and giving it to others!
(Mar 12:28) And one of the scribes coming near, hearing
them reasoning together, knowing that He had answered them well, asked Him,
“Which is the first command of all?” (Mar 12:29) And יהושע answered him, “The first of all the
commands is, ‘Hear,
O Yisra’ĕl, יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one. (Yahshua quotes the She’mah Deuteronomy 6:4) (Mar 12:30) ‘And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and
with your entire mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command. (Mar 12:31) “And the second, like it, is this, ‘You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other command greater than these.” (Mar 12:32)
And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the
truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no other besides Him. (Mar 12:33)
“And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and
with all the being, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as
oneself, is more than all the burnt offerings and offerings.” (Mar 12:34)
And when יהושע saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the reign of Elohim.” And after that no
one was bold enough to question Him. (Mar
12:35) And יהושע responding, said, while teaching in the
Set-apart Place, “How is it that the scribes say that
the Messiah is the Son of Dawiḏ? (Mar 12:36) “Dawiḏ himself said
by the Set-apart Spirit, ‘יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make your
enemies a footstool of your feet.” ’ (Mar
12:37) “Dawiḏ himself calls Him ‘Master.’ In
what way then is He his Son?” And the large crowd heard Him gladly. (Mar 12:38)
And in His teaching He was saying to them, “Beware
of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and like
greetings in the market-places, (Mar 12:39) and the best seats in
the congregations, and the best places at feasts, (Mar 12:40) who are devouring widows’ houses, and for a show make long
prayers. These shall receive greater judgment.” (Mar
12:41) And sitting opposite the
treasury He saw how the people put copper into the treasury. And many rich ones
put in much. (Mar 12:42) And a poor widow came and threw in two small
copper coins, which amount to a cent. (Mar 12:43) And calling near His taught ones He said to
them, “Truly, I say to you that this poor widow has put
in more than all those putting into the treasury, (Mar 12:44) for they all put in out of their excess, but she out of her
poverty put in all that she had, her entire livelihood.”
Loved
One, I pray we walk in the spirit and not according to the lusts and directions
of the flesh. That we may each repent quickly wherever we miss and stumble. I
further pray we ALWAYS forgive and speak forgiveness and blessings on those who
do and have done evil against us. They need our love of the Father (Obedience)
to break forth and come to our King! This is how they will recognize us; that
we have love for one another and our King! It is the LOVE of YHWH that draws
men to repentance- not our knowledge!
Loved One, I pray YOU and I make every effort to love the Creator according to His
ways and desires and not our learned ones that are filled with pagan ritual
both in Churchianity and Judaism. I pray you gain an ear to hear Him and the
courage to obey Him! Thanks for your continued prayers for Billie and me-
they are cherished! Thank you! THANK YOU! You are much loved! We must count our blessings and REJOICE!
Fear not and worry not! YHWH is on His throne laughing at and holding evil
leaders in derision… so let’s think on what He promises and His good reports!
(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 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 things.
Shalom to
your home Loved One,
Thurston

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.
