Shabbat
Shalom Loved One!
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com w/video audio to build our trust in Messiah! Why
are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued
at end of this week’s study!
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
Loved One; Fear Not, Only Believe as Yahshua instructed
the synagogue ruler who was told his daughter was dead!
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 33:10) “And you, O son of
man, say to the house of Yisra’ĕl, ‘this is what you have said, “If our
transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how then
shall we live?” ’ (Eze 33:11) “Say to them, ‘As I
live,’ declares the Master יהוה, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wrong, but that the
wrong turn from his way and live. Turn back; turn back from your evil ways! For
why should you die, O house of Yisra’ĕl?’ (Eze
33:12) “And
you, O son of man, say to the
children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall
not deliver him in the day of his transgression. And as for the wrongness of
the wrong, he shall not stumble because of it in the day that he turns from his
wrong. And the righteous shall not be able to live because of his righteousness
in the day that he sins.’ (Eze 33:13) “When I say to the
righteous that he shall live, and he has trusted in his righteousness, and
shall do unrighteousness, none of his righteousness shall be remembered, but
because of his unrighteousness that he has done, he shall die. (Eze 33:14) “Again, when I say to the wrong, ‘You shall certainly die,’
if he turns from his sin and does right and righteousness, (Eze 33:15) if the wrong restores the pledge, gives back what he has
stolen, and walks in the laws of life without doing crookedness, he shall
certainly live; he shall not die. (Eze 33:16) “None of his sins
which he has committed shall be remembered against him – he has done right and
righteousness; he shall certainly live. (Eze 33:17) “And the children of
your people have said, ‘The way of יהוה is not fair.’ But it is their way which is
not fair! (Eze 33:18) “When the righteous
turns from his righteousness and does unrighteousness; he shall die because of
it. (Eze 33:19) “But when the wrong
turns from his wrongness and does right and righteousness, he shall live
because of it. (Eze 33:20) “And you have said,
‘The way of יהוה is not fair.’ O house of Yisra’ĕl, I shall judge every one of
you according to his own ways.” (Eze 33:21) And it came to be in the twelfth year of our
exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped
from Yerushalayim came to me and said, “The city has been smitten!” (Eze 33:22)
And the hand of יהוה came upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped.
And He had opened my mouth, before he came to me in the morning. And my mouth
was opened. And I was no longer silent.
(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 33:30) “As for
you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the
walls and in the doors of the houses. And they speak to each other, each saying
to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from יהוה.’ (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; 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; but remember Mystery Babylon is drunk on the blood of the believers,
including yours and mine if we disobey this warning. FEAR NOT. Perfect Love
casts out fear, Only
Believe.
Again; you may remember 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.
Ever wonder what resolve in your hearts means for you and
me? 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 prayer is that DECEPTION will not be on us who study
and consider ourselves sober and alert and 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.
You study and I will pray that you
and your loved ones will not be deceived; because if it were possible; what I
have shared will remove many from the group called believers and followers of
Messiah Yahshua.
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.
WATCH and PRAY or be lead astray!
(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 – (Mar 13:34) as a man going abroad, having left his house and given
authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper
to watch. (Mar 13:35) “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the
house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock,
or in the morning, (Mar 13:36) lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping. (Mar 13:37) “And what I say
to you, I say to all: Watch!”
One more caution reminder concerning the
Great Delusion ahead. 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.
And
the King James:
(Mat 15:8) this people
draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their
heart is far from me. (Mat 15:9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines (doings) the commandments
of men.
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
also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
Today’s
instruction and theme from our Creator is OUR RELATIONSHIPS that allow us “RED SEA DELIVERANCE” from our loving Heavenly Father
Let’s get basic as I want us to
recognize that our Creator wanted a relationship with all of us; but in our
fear (still works that way today for the most part) we rejected His presence
and asked to let Moses talk to us only- keep Elohim away- and later we relegated
Him to a box! 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 and a “rebellious stand”
will be cut off and allowed to stumble 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 and 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 3:5) 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.
WE ARE FAMILY! Becoming this
daily as we die to self! Hallelu-YAH! In
addition to a reminder that “SIN” is defined as doing away with the law or
Torahlessness in 1st John and a short look at the heart attitude of
loving our neighbor as ourselves- Today I also want to touch on “WORDS” and
their vast importance! (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: Devarim “Words”
Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22; Isaiah 1:1-2:7); 1Timothy 3:1-7
He communicates to
us in words, so their vast importance should be obvious to us! “Sticks and
stones may break our bones but words will never hurt me!” NOT TRUE. Words have
power! Look at Yahshua’s definition that words are spiritual- some have power
for blessing us and bringing life to every situation (they agree with Heaven
and others bring curses – they agree with hell and the facts or flesh realm!)
We must agree with the words established forever in Heaven if we
are to enter into the promises of our loving Creator. Loved One- He is a MIGHTY
DELIVERER! He created Heaven and Earth and all that is- seen and unseen- with
WORDS! Here He is instructing us to enter into our promises.
(Deuteronomy 1:1) These are the words which Mosheh spoke to all
Yisra’ĕl beyond the Yardĕn in the wilderness, in the desert plain opposite
Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laḇan, and Ḥatsĕroth, and Di
Zahaḇ, (Deuteronomy 1:2) eleven days’ journey
from Ḥorĕḇ by way of Mount Sĕʽir to Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa. (Deuteronomy
1:3) And it came to be in the
fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that
Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl according to all that יהוה had commanded him concerning them, (Deuteronomy 1:4)
after he had smitten Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, who dwelt in
Ḥeshbon, and Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth in Eḏreʽi. (Deuteronomy 1:5)
Beyond the Yardĕn, in the land of Mo’aḇ, Mosheh undertook to declare
this Torah, saying, (Deuteronomy 1:6) “יהוה our Elohim spoke to us in Ḥorĕḇ, saying,
‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. (Deuteronomy
1:7) ‘Turn and set out on your
way, and go into the mountains of the Amorites, and to all the neighboring
places in the desert plain, in the mountains and in the low country, and in the
Negeḇ and on the seacoast, to the land of the Kenaʽanites and to Leḇanon, as
far as the great river, the River Euphrates. Deuteronomy
1:8) ‘See, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which יהוה swore to your
fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give to them and their
seed after them.’ (Deuteronomy 1:9) “And I spoke to you at that time, saying, ‘I
am unable to bear you by myself. (Deuteronomy 1:10) ‘יהוה your Elohim has
increased you, and see, you are today as numerous as the stars of the heavens. Deuteronomy 1:11)
‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers
is going to add to you a thousand times more than you are, and bless you as He
has spoken to you! (Comment: this
is YHWH’s heart) (Deuteronomy 1:12) ‘How do I bear your pressure and your burden
and your strife, by myself? (Deuteronomy 1:13) ‘Choose men, wise and understanding, and
known to your tribes, and let me appoint them as your heads.’ (Deuteronomy 1:14)
“And you answered me and said, ‘The word which you have spoken to us to
do is good.’ (Deuteronomy 1:15) “And I took the heads of your tribes, wise
men and known, and made them heads over you, leaders of thousands, and leaders
of hundreds, and leaders of fifties, and leaders of tens, and officers for your
tribes. (Deuteronomy 1:16) “And I commanded your judges at that time,
saying, ‘When hearing between your brothers, judge righteously between a man
and his brother or the stranger who is with him. (Deuteronomy
1:17) ‘Do not show partiality in
right-ruling; hear the small as well as the great. Do not be afraid of anyone’s
face, for the right-ruling belongs to Elohim. And the case which is too hard
for you, bring it to me, and I shall hear it.’ (Deuteronomy
1:18) “And I commanded you at that time all the words which you should
do. (Deuteronomy 1:19) “Then we set out from Ḥorĕḇ, and went
through that entire great and awesome wilderness which you saw on the way to
the mountains of the Amorites, as יהוה our Elohim had commanded us. And we came
to Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa. (Deuteronomy 1:20) “And I said to you, ‘You have come to the
mountains of the Amorites, which יהוה our Elohim is giving us. (Deuteronomy 1:21)
‘See, יהוה your Elohim has set the land before you. Go up and possess it, as יהוה Elohim of your
fathers has spoken to you. Do not fear, nor be discouraged.’ (Deuteronomy 1:22)
“And all of you came near to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us,
and let them search out the land for us, and bring back word to us of the way
by which we should go up, and of the cities into which we would come.’ (Deuteronomy 1:23)
“And the matter was good in my eyes, so I took twelve of your men, one
man from each tribe. (Deuteronomy 1:24) “And they turned and went up into the
mountains, and came to the wadi Eshkol, and spied it out. (Deuteronomy 1:25)
“And they took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought
it down to us. And they brought back word to us, saying, ‘The land which יהוה our
Elohim is giving us is good.’ (Deuteronomy 1:26) “But you would not go up and rebelled against
the mouth of יהוה your Elohim, (Deuteronomy 1:27) and grumbled in your tents, and said,
‘Because יהוה
was hating us, He has brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim to give us into
the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. (Deuteronomy
1:28) ‘Where are we going to? Our
brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller
than we, the cities are great and walled up to the heavens, and we saw the sons
of the Anaqim there too.” ’ (Deuteronomy 1:29)
“Then I said to you, ‘Have no dread or fear of them.
Walking in the flesh realm is siding with the facts and not the Word of
Instruction! Who is and was the word made flesh that dwelled among us?
Hallelu-Yah! Yahshua the Messiah! Yes there were and are and will be GIANTS in
the land- but as we walk by the spirit (His WORDS) we overcome by the blood of
the LAMB and our testimony or agreement with our KING!
(Deuteronomy 1:30) ‘יהוה your Elohim, who
is going before you, He does fight for you, according to all He did for you in
Mitsrayim before your eyes, (Deuteronomy 1:31) and in the wilderness, where you saw how יהוה your
Elohim has borne you, as a man bears his son, in all the way that you went
until you came to this place.’ (Deuteronomy 1:32) “Yet in this matter you are putting no
trust in יהוה
your Elohim, (Deuteronomy 1:33) who is going before you in the way to seek
out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in
fire by night and in a cloud by day. (Deuteronomy
1:34) “And יהוה heard the voice of your words, and was
wroth, and took an oath, saying, (Deuteronomy 1:35)
‘Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land of which
I swore to give to your fathers, (Deuteronomy 1:36)
except Kalĕḇ
son of Yephunneh. (Good REPORT or agreement) He shall see it,
and to him and his children I give the land on which he walked, because he
followed יהוה
completely.’ (Deuteronomy 1:37) “And יהוה was enraged with me for your sakes,
saying, ‘You do not go in there, either. (Deuteronomy
1:38) ‘Yehoshua the son of Nun, (Good Report
also) who stands before you, he
shall go in there. Strengthen him, for he shall cause Yisra’ĕl to inherit. (Deuteronomy 1:39)
‘And your little ones and your children, who you say are for a prey, who
today have no knowledge of good and evil, they are going in there. And to them
I give it, and they are to possess it. (Deuteronomy
1:40) ‘But you turn and take your
journey into the wilderness by the Way of the Sea of Reeds.’ (Deuteronomy 1:41)
“Then you answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against יהוה. We
ourselves are going up, and we shall fight, as יהוה our Elohim commanded us.’ And when each
one of you had girded on his battle gear, you were ready to go up into the
mountain. (Deuteronomy 1:42) “And יהוה said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up
nor fight, for I am not in your midst, lest you be smitten before your
enemies.” ’(Deuteronomy 1:43) “So I spoke to
you, but you would not listen and rebelled against the mouth of יהוה, and acted
proudly, and went up into the mountain. (Deuteronomy
1:44) “Then the Amorites who
dwelt in that mountain came out against you and chased you as bees do, and
drove you back from Sĕʽir to Ḥormah. (Deuteronomy
1:45) “And you returned and wept
before יהוה,
but יהוה
would not listen to your voice nor give ear to you. (Deuteronomy
1:46) “So you dwelt in Qaḏĕsh
many days, according to the days that you dwelt.

(Deuteronomy 2:1) “Then we turned and set out into the
wilderness, the way of the Sea of Reeds, as יהוה spoke to me, and we went round
Mount Sĕʽir, many days. (Deuteronomy 2:2)
“And יהוה spoke to me, saying, (Deuteronomy 2:3)
‘You have gone around this mountain long enough, turn northward. (Deuteronomy 2:4)
‘And command the people, saying, “You are about to pass over into the
border of your brothers, the descendants of Ěsaw, who live in Sĕʽir, and they
are afraid of you. So be on your guard. (Deuteronomy
2:5) “Do not strive with them,
for I do not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep,
because I have given Mount Sĕʽir to Ěsaw as a possession. (Deuteronomy 2:6)
“What food you buy from them with silver you shall eat. And also, what
water you buy from them with silver you shall drink. (Deuteronomy
2:7) “For יהוה your Elohim has blessed you in all the
work of your hand. He has known your wandering through this great wilderness.
These forty years יהוה your Elohim has been with you, you have not lacked any matter.”
’ (Deuteronomy 2:8) “And when we passed beyond our brothers, the
descendants of Ěsaw who dwell in Sĕʽir, away from the way of the desert plain,
away from Ěylath and Etsyon Geḇer, we turned and passed over by way of the
Wilderness of Mo’aḇ. (Deuteronomy 2:9) “And יהוה said to me, ‘Do not distress Mo’aḇ, nor
stir yourself up against them in battle, for I do not give you any of their
land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a
possession.’ ” (Deuteronomy 2:10) (The Ěmites
had dwelt there formerly, a people as great and numerous and tall as the
Anaqim. (Deuteronomy 2:11) They were also reckoned as Repha’ites, like
the Anaqim, but the Mo’aḇites call them Ěmites. (Deuteronomy
2:12) And the Ḥorites formerly
dwelt in Sĕʽir, but the descendants of Ěsaw dispossessed them and destroyed
them from before them, and dwelt in their place, as Yisra’ĕl did to the land of
their possession which יהוה gave them). (Deuteronomy 2:13) “‘Now rise up, and pass over the wadi
Zereḏ.’ So we passed over the wadi Zereḏ. (Deuteronomy
2:14) “And the time we took to
come from Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa until we passed over the wadi Zereḏ was thirty-eight
years, until all the generation of the men of battle was consumed from the
midst of the camp, as יהוה had sworn to them. (Deuteronomy 2:15) “And also, the hand of יהוה was against them, to destroy them from the
midst of the camp until they were consumed. (Deuteronomy
2:16) “And it came to be, when
all the men of battle had finally perished from among the people, (Deuteronomy 2:17) that יהוה spoke to me, saying, (Deuteronomy 2:18) ‘this day you are to pass over at
Ar, the boundary of Mo’aḇ. (Deuteronomy 2:19) ‘And when you come near the children of
Ammon, do not distress them nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not
give you any of the land of the children of Ammon as a possession, because I
have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’ (Deuteronomy 2:20)
(That was also reckoned as a land of Repha’ites. Repha’ites formerly
dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, (Deuteronomy
2:21) a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anaqim. יהוה destroyed
them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, (Deuteronomy 2:22) as He had done for the descendants
of Ěsaw, who dwelt in Sĕʽir, when He destroyed the Ḥorites from before them.
They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day. (Deuteronomy 2:23)
And the Awwim who dwelt in villages as far as Azzah, the Kaphtorim who
came from Kaphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place). (Deuteronomy 2:24)
‘Arise, set out and pass over the wadi Arnon. See, I have given into
your hand Siḥon the Amorite, sovereign of Ḥeshbon, and his land. Begin to
possess it, and stir up yourself against him in battle. (Deuteronomy 2:25) ‘This
day I begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples under all the
heavens, which, when they hear the report of you, shall tremble and shake
because of you.’ (Deuteronomy 2:26) “Then I sent messengers from the Wilderness
of Qeḏĕmoth to Siḥon sovereign of Ḥeshbon, with words of peace, saying, (Deuteronomy 2:27) ‘Let me pass over through your
land on the highway. I shall go on the highway and turn neither to the right
nor to the left. (Deuteronomy 2:28) ‘What food you sell me for silver I shall eat
and what water you give me for silver I shall drink. Only let me pass over on
foot, (Deuteronomy 2:29) as the descendants of
Ěsaw who dwell in Sĕʽir and the Mo’aḇites who dwell in Ar did for me – until I
pass over the Yardĕn to the land יהוה our Elohim is giving us.’ (Deuteronomy 2:30)
“But Siḥon sovereign of Ḥeshbon would not let us pass over, for יהוה your
Elohim hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, to give him into your
hand, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 2:31) “And יהוה said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give
Siḥon and his land over to you. Begin to possess – in order to possess his
land.’ (Deuteronomy 2:32) “And Siḥon and all his people came out
against us to fight at Yahats, (Deuteronomy 2:33)
and יהוה
our Elohim gave him over to us, so we smote him, and his sons, and all his
people. (Deuteronomy 2:34) “And we took all his cities at that time, and
we put the men, women, and little ones of every city under the ban, we left
none remaining. (Deuteronomy 2:35) “Only the livestock we took as plunder for
ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we captured. (Deuteronomy 2:36)
“From Aroʽĕr, which is on the edge of the wadi Arnon, and the city that
is by the wadi, as far as Gilʽaḏ, there was not one city too high for us. יהוה our
Elohim gave all to us. (Deuteronomy 2:37) “Only you did not go near the land of the
children of Ammon – anywhere along the wadi Yabboq, or to the cities of the
mountains, or wherever יהוה our Elohim had forbidden us.
Giant KINGS fall- just like they will for you and me! (IF we hold fast to our confession and walk upright in our Hearing and
Doing)
(Deuteronomy 3:1) “Then we turned and went up the way to
Bashan. And Oḡ
(Comment: a giant) sovereign of
Bashan came out against us, him and all his people, to battle at Eḏreʽi. (Deuteronomy 3:2) “And יהוה said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I
have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do
to him as you did to Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, who dwelt at Ḥeshbon.’ (Deuteronomy 3:3)
“So יהוה
our Elohim also gave into our hands Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, with all his
people and we smote him until he had no survivors remaining. (Deuteronomy 3:4)
“And we captured all his cities at that time. There was not a city which
we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the district of Argoḇ, the reign
of Oḡ in Bashan. (Deuteronomy 3:5) “All these cities were fenced with high
walls, gates and bars, besides a great many unwalled towns. (Deuteronomy 3:6)
“And we put them under the ban, as we did to Siḥon sovereign of
Ḥeshbon, putting the men, the women, and the children of every city under the
ban. (Deuteronomy 3:7) “But all the livestock and the spoil of the
cities we took as booty for ourselves. (Deuteronomy
3:8) “And at that time we took
the land, from the hand of the two sovereigns of the Amorites, that was beyond
the Yardĕn, from the wadi Arnon to Mount Ḥermon (Deuteronomy
3:9) “(Tsiḏonians call Ḥermon, Siryon – and the Amorites call it
Senir), (Deuteronomy 3:10) all the cities of
the plain, all Gilʽaḏ, and all Bashan, as far as Salḵah and Eḏreʽi, cities
of the reign of Oḡ in Bashan. (Deuteronomy 3:11) “For only Oḡ sovereign of Bashan was left of
the remnant of the Repha’ites. See, his bedstead was an iron bedstead. Is it
not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits is its length and four
cubits its width, according to the cubit of a man. (Deuteronomy
3:12) “And this land, which we
possessed at that time, from Aroʽĕr, which is by the wadi Arnon, and half the
mountains of Gilʽaḏ and its cities, I gave to the Re’uḇĕnites and the
Gaḏites. (Deuteronomy 3:13) “And the rest of Gilʽaḏ, and all Bashan, the
reign of Oḡ, I gave to half the tribe of Menashsheh – all the district of
Argoḇ, with all Bashan, called the land of the Repha’ites. (Deuteronomy 3:14)
“Yaʽir son of Menashsheh had taken all the district of Argoḇ, as far as
the border of the Geshurites and the Maʽaḵathites, and called them after his
own name: the Bashan of Hawoth Yaʽir, to this day. (Deuteronomy
3:15) “And to Maḵir I gave
Gilʽaḏ. (Deuteronomy 3:16) “And to the Re’uḇĕnites and the Gaḏites I
gave from Gilʽaḏ as far as the wadi Arnon, the middle of the wadi as the
border, as far as the wadi Yabboq, the border of the children of Ammon, (Deuteronomy 3:17) and the desert plain, with the
Yardĕn as the border, from Kinnereth as far as the Sea of the Araḇah, the Salt
Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah on the east. (Deuteronomy
3:18) “And I commanded you at
that time, saying, ‘יהוה your Elohim has given you this land to possess. All you sons of
might, pass over armed before your brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 3:19)
‘But let your wives and your little ones, and your livestock – I know
that you have much livestock – stay in your cities which I have given you, (Deuteronomy 3:20) until יהוה has given rest to your brothers as to you,
and they also possess the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving them beyond the
Yardĕn. Then you shall return, each man to his possession which I have given
you.’ (Deuteronomy 3:21) “And I commanded Yehoshua at that time,
saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that יהוה your Elohim has done to these two
sovereigns. יהוה does the same to all the reigns which you are passing over. (Deuteronomy 3:22)
‘Do not fear them, for יהוה your Elohim Himself fights for you.’
Sinning Nations will be on fire! Remember Yahshua’s words to me: Let’s become the Remnant Bride!
(Isa 1:1) The vision of Yeshayahu son of Amots follows,
which he saw concerning Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim in the
days of Uzziyahu, Yotham, Aḥaz, Ḥizqiyahu – sovereigns of Yehuḏah. (Isa 1:2) Hear
O heavens, and listen, O earth! יהוה has spoken, “I have reared and
brought up children, but they have transgressed against me. (Isa 1:3) An
ox knows its owner and a donkey its master’s crib – Yisra’ĕl does not know, my
people have not understood.” (Isa 1:4) Alas, sinning nation, a people loaded with
crookedness, a seed of evil-doers, sons acting corruptly! They have forsaken יהוה, they have
provoked the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, they went backward. (Isa 1:5) Why
should you be beaten anymore? You continue in apostasy! All the head is sick,
and all the heart faints. (Isa 1:6) From the sole of the foot, to the head, there
is no soundness in it – wounds and bruises and open sores; they have not been
closed or bound up, or soothed with ointment. (Isa 1:7) Your land is laid waste, your cities are
burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence. And it is
laid waste, as overthrown by strangers. (Isa
1:8) And the daughter of Tsiyon
is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a
besieged city. (Isa 1:9) Unless יהוה of hosts had left to us a small remnant,
we would have become like Seḏom, we would have been made like Amorah. (Isa 1:10)
Hear the word of יהוה, you rulers of Seḏom; give ear to the Torah of our Elohim, you
people of Amorah! (Isa 1:11) “Of what use to me are your many
slaughterings?” declares יהוה. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of
fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats. (Isa 1:12)
“When you come to appear before me, who has required this from your
hand, to trample my courtyards? (Isa 1:13) “Stop bringing futile offerings, incense, it
is an abomination to me. New Moons, Sabbaths, the calling of meetings – I am
unable to bear unrighteousness and assembly. (Isa
1:14) “My being hates your New
Moons and your appointed times, they are a trouble to me, I am weary of bearing
them. (Isa 1:15) “And when you spread out your hands, I hide
my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands
have become filled with blood. (Isa 1:16) “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put
away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Stop doing evil! (Isa 1:17)
“Learn to do well! Seek right-ruling, reprove the oppressor, defend the
fatherless, plead for the widow. (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, you shall eat the
good of the land; (Isa 1:20) but if you refuse
and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken. (Isa 1:21) How
the steadfast city has become a whore! I have filled it with right-ruling;
righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. (Isa
1:22) Your silver has become
dross; your wine is mixed with water. (Isa 1:23) Your rulers are stubborn, and companions of
thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and runs after rewards. They do not defend the
fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow reach them. (Isa 1:24) Therefore the
Master declares, יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Ah, I shall be eased of my
adversaries, and I shall be avenged of my enemies. (Isa
1:25) “And I shall turn my hand
against you, and shall refine your dross as with lye, and shall remove your
entire alloy. (Isa 1:26) “And I shall give back your judges as at the
first, and your counselors as at the beginning. After this you shall be called
the city of righteousness, a steadfast city.” (Isa
1:27) Tsiyon shall be redeemed
with right-ruling, and her returning ones with righteousness. (Isa 1:28) And
the destruction of transgressors and of sinners is together, and those who
forsake יהוה
shall be consumed. (Isa 1:29) They shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees
which you have desired. And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
which you have chosen. (Isa 1:30) You shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water. (Isa 1:31) The strong shall be for tow, and his work for
a spark. And both shall burn together, with no one to extinguish.
Hey- GOOD NEWS! We will be taught by the King of GLORY the Constitution of
the Kingdom- THE TORAH!
(Isa
2:1)
The word that Yeshayahu the son of Amots saw concerning Yehuḏah
and Yerushalayim: (Isa 2:2) and it shall be in
the latter days that the mountain of the House of יהוה is established on the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to
it. (Isa 2:3)
And many peoples shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the
mountain of יהוה, to the House of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, and let Him teach1 us His ways1,
and let us walk in His paths1, for out of Tsiyon comes forth the
Torah1, and the Word1 of יהוה from Yerushalayim.” Footnote:
1His ways, His paths, the teaching and the Word
of יהוה
are used synonymously. (Isa 2:4) And He shall judge between the nations, and
shall reprove many peoples. And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither teaches battle any more. (Isa 2:5) O house of Yaʽaqoḇ, come and let us walk in
the light of יהוה. (Isa 2:6) For You have forsaken Your people, the house
of Yaʽaqoḇ, because they have been filled from the East, and practice magic
like the Philistines, and they are pleased with the children of foreigners. (Isa 2:7) And
their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their
treasures. And their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their
chariots.
Let’s walk appropriately with our Master no matter what those who have
spoken lies and evil remarks against us- we bless those that curse us and pray
for those that spitefully use us! Hasatan always attacks the weak link and
accuses the brethren- let’s make sure we are not among his pawns! Snares and
traps are already set LOVED ONE! Let’s continue to walk uprightly with our
King.
(1Ti 3:1) Trustworthy is the word: If a man longs for
the position of an overseer, he desires a good work. (1Ti
3:2) An overseer, then, should be
blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, sensible, orderly, kind to
strangers, able to teach, (1Ti 3:3) not given to wine, no brawler, but gentle,
not quarrelsome, no lover of money, (1Ti 3:4) one who rules his own house well, having his
children in subjection with all reverence, (1Ti 3:5) for if a man does not know how to rule his
own house, how shall he look after the assembly of Elohim? (1Ti 3:6) Not
a new convert, lest he become puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment
of the devil. (1Ti 3:7) And he should even have a good witness
from those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the
devil.
Loved One,
I pray you walk in the spirit and not according to the lusts and directions of
the flesh. That we may each repent quickly (Taking NO offence and forgive that we may be forgiven) wherever we miss and
stumble, and the snares all miss us. 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! Thanks for your continued prayers for
Billie and me- they are cherished- and we thank you! Thank you! And 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
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.
