Why
we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is
continued at end of this week’s study…
HEADS UP LOVED ONE
Forgiveness---anyone YOU and I need to
forgive still? We must get rid of unbelief and lack of forgiveness
blocks that process! Let’s release all offense to YHWH- who alone is capable of
being the JUDGE! We bless those that curse us and pray for those that do all
manner of evil against us! We release them that offend and it actually releases
us! HalleluYAH!
I have just been reminded to warn us about this
issue- FORGIVING OFFENSES it is essential for our individual break thru so necessary today (Hebrews 3:7) Therefore, as
the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if you hear His voice,
(Hebrews 3:8)
do not harden your
hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9)
where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw My works forty years. (Hebrews 3:10)
“Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always go
astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’ (Hebrews 3:11)
“As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter
into my rest...’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Ps.
95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12) Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of
you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews 3:13)
but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of
you be hardened by the deceivableness of sin. (Hebrews
3:14) For we have become
partakers of Messiah if we hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the
end, (Hebrews 3:15) while it is said, “Today, if
you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
(Hebrews 3:16)
For whom, having heard, rebelled? Was it not all who came out of
Mitsrayim, led by Mosheh? (Hebrews 3:17) And with who was He grieved forty years? Was
it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? (Hebrews 3:18)
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to
those who did not obey? (Hebrews 3:19) So we see that they were unable to enter in
because of unbelief.
Here’s
why forgiveness is NECESSARY and why we MUST humble ourselves and submit
to YHWH!
(Mat
6:9) “This, then, is the way you should
pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, (Mat 6:10)
let your reign come, let your desire (will)
be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Mat 6:11)
‘Give us today our daily bread. (Provision)
(Mat 6:12) ‘And forgive us our debts, ***as we forgive our debtors. *** (Mat 6:13) ‘And do not
lead us into trial, 1 but deliver us from the wicked one – because yours
is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: 1See
26:41. (Mat 6:14) “For if you forgive
men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you. (Mat
6:15) “But if you do not
forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your
trespasses.
Why is it so
important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?
(Rev
21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all
things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death.
We are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is
condemned and he purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation
pronounced on him…
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a
spirit of fear… (2Ti 1:7) For Elohim has
not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear),
but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).
We must clean up
and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once
DRY BONES to become the restored! We cannot
follow those of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds
a lot like modern Churchianity: (Ezekiel
22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
It is our
destiny to seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory
realm; His mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah 29:11)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12)
‘Then you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I
shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And you shall seek me, and
shall find me, when you search for me with all
your heart1. Footnote: 1Dt. 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה,
‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the
gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’ (Gen 13:17)
"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I
will give it to you." (Eph 5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and
Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isa 60:1) “Arise
and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
I encourage you again to please
consider YHWH’s
POWER
TWINS for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all things are possible for
YHWH, the only
reason they aren’t for you and I is UNBELIEF!
Unbelief or belief is the real TOPIC in the Scriptures
spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according
to Yahshua- YHWH’S
POWER TWINS! If we really
want our prayers answered we must be willing to do YHWH’s requirements. If we
really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and
fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why?
Because, if that is who we become under great fiery trials we have trusted the
power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us!
Could this apply to you and me? NOT IF
we pray and fast and overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and
do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions
are Hebrews or Hebrews thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek
thought. It is about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving
ourselves. It is She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND
OBEY! Let’s learn
to fast and pray and remove our unbelief!
Loved One- CONSIDER: Jacob’s Trouble is
OUR TROUBLE AND TESTS! (And we are learning we can overcome all
plans of hell!)
(Not the Jews only
trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that
you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it
fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more
lasting…say eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be
broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be
pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments
burned up leaving nothing but ash? Mat 21:44 “And he who
falls on this stone (The
Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on
whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote:
1Rom. 8:10 & 13, Col. 3:5. (Deuteronomy
30:19) “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today
against you: I have set before you life
and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so
that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy
30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is
your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to
Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
Last
few weeks we’ve discussed: WE NEED HIS POWER TO OVERCOME and we still do! WE MUST DEVELOP INTO OVER COMERS! Remember
also the importance of not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for
us to be over comers! We considered the power of
our words agreeing with Him
and how intimacy in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the
praises of His people and being filled with His Ruach! (Pro 18:21)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it
eat its fruit!
Here’s our prayer Yah suggests for us to make below- Our Words direct us! Start
today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use
this prayer!
(Luke
21:36)
You watch
you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all
these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Of course the
goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having produced fruit
that will remain!
Please join in with believers worldwide and let’s fast and
pray and receive His INSTRUCTIONS and power loved one WITH THAT DECISION IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS; let’s turn our hearts to this week’s
Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
Vayagash “And he drew near”
Genesis
44:18- 47:27; Bonus- Ezekiel 37:1-14; Ezekiel 37:15-28;
Luke 6:9-16;
Shadow
Picture- Hardship and famine brings forth intimacy in prayer and US changing!
(Gen
44:18) And Yehuḏah
came near to him and said, “O my master, please let your servant speak a word
in my master’s hearing, and do not let your displeasure burn against your
servant, for you are like Pharaoh. (Gen 44:19) “My master asked his servants, saying, ‘Have
you a father or a brother?’ (Gen 44:20) “And we said to my master, ‘We have a father,
an old man, and a young child of his old age and his brother is dead,
and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’ (Gen 44:21)
“And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, and let me set my
eyes on him.’ (Gen 44:22) “And we said to my master, ‘The boy is not
able to leave his father, for if he leaves his father, his father shall die.’ (Gen 44:23)
“But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down
with you, you do not see my face again.’ (Gen 44:24) “And it came to be, when we went up to your
servant my father, that we told him the words of my master. (Gen 44:25)
“And our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.’ (Gen 44:26)
“But we said, ‘We are not able to go down. If our youngest brother is
with us, then we shall go down, for we are not able to see the man’s face
unless our youngest brother is with us.’ (Gen 44:27) “Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You
know that my wife bore me two sons, (Gen 44:28)
and the one went out from me, and I said, “Truly, he is torn, torn to pieces!”
And I have not seen him since. (Gen 44:29) ‘And if you take this one from me too, and
harm comes to him, you shall bring down my grey hair with evil to the grave.’ (Gen 44:30)
“And now, if I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us
– since his own life is bound up in his life – (Gen
44:31) then it shall be, when he
sees that the boy is not with us, that he shall die. So your servants shall
bring down the grey hair of your servant our father with evil to the grave. (Gen 44:32)
“For your servant went guaranty for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I
do not bring him back to you, then I shall be a sinner before my father
forever.’ (Gen 44:33) “And now, please let your servant remain
instead of the boy as a slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his
brothers. (Gen 44:34) “For how do I go up to my father if the boy
is not with me, lest I see the evil that would come upon my father?”
Homecoming and RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS!
(Gen
45:1) And Yosĕph was unable to restrain himself
before all those who stood by him, and he called out, “Have everyone go out
from me!” So no one stood with him while Yosĕph made himself known to his
brothers. (Gen 45:2) And he wept aloud, and the Mitsrites and the
house of Pharaoh heard it. (Gen 45:3) And Yosĕph said to his brothers, “I am
Yosĕph, is my father still alive?” But his brothers were unable to answer him,
for they trembled before him. (Gen 45:4) Then Yosĕph said to his brothers, “Please
come near to me.” And when they came near, he said, “I am Yosĕph your brother,
whom you sold into Mitsrayim. (Gen 45:5) “And now, do not be grieved nor displeased
with yourselves because you sold me here, for Elohim sent me before you to
preserve life. (Gen 45:6) “For two years now the scarcity of food has
been in the land, and there are still five years in which there is neither plowing
nor harvesting. (Gen 45:7) “And Elohim sent me before you to preserve
for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you by a great escape. (Gen 45:8) “So
then, you did not send me here, but Elohim. And He has set me for a father to
Pharaoh, and master of his entire house, and a ruler throughout all the land of
Mitsrayim. (Gen 45:9) “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to
him, ‘Thus says your son Yosĕph, “Elohim has made me master of all Mitsrayim.
Come down to me, do not delay. (Gen 45:10) “And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen,
and be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks
and your herds, and all that you have. (Gen 45:11) “And I shall provide for you there, lest you
and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty, because five years
of scarcity of food are still to come.” ’ (Gen 45:12)
“And look, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Binyamin see that it is my
mouth that speaks to you. (Gen 45:13) “And you shall inform my father of all my
esteem in Mitsrayim, and of all that you have seen. And you shall hurry and
bring my father down here.” (Gen 45:14) And he fell on his brother Binyamin’s neck
and wept, and Binyamin wept on his neck. (Gen 45:15) And he kissed all his brothers and wept over
them, and after that his brothers spoke with him. (Gen
45:16) And the report of it was
heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Yosĕph have come.” And
it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. (Gen 45:17)
And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your
beasts and go, enter the land of Kenaʽan,
(Gen 45:18)
and take your father and your households and come to me, and I give you
the best of the land of Mitsrayim, and you eat the fat of the land. (Gen 45:19)
‘And you, you have been commanded, do these: Take wagons out of the land
of Mitsrayim for your little ones and your wives. And you shall bring your
father, and come. (Gen 45:20) ‘And do not be concerned about your goods,
for the best of all the land of Mitsrayim is yours.’ ” (Gen
45:21) And the sons of Yisra’ĕl did so. And Yosĕph gave them wagons,
according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them food for the journey. (Gen 45:22) He
gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments, but to Binyamin he gave
three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments. (Gen 45:23)
And he sent to his father this: ten donkeys loaded with the best of
Mitsrayim, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, and bread, and food for
his father for the journey. (Gen 45:24) So he sent his brothers away, and they left.
And he said to them, “Do not quarrel along the way.” (Gen
45:25) And they went up out of
Mitsrayim, and came to the land of Kenaʽan to Yaʽaqoḇ their father. (Gen 45:26)
And they told him, saying, “Yosĕph is still alive, and he is governor
over all the land of Mitsrayim.” And Yaʽaqoḇ’s heart ceased, for he did not
believe them. (Gen 45:27) But when they spoke to him all the words
which Yosĕph had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons which Yosĕph had
sent to transport him, the spirit of Yaʽaqoḇ their father revived. (Gen 45:28) And Yisra’ĕl said, “Enough! My son Yosĕph is
still alive. Let me go and see him before I die.”
Hearing Torah (Instructions) from Heaven-
Hear and OBEY!
(Gen
46:1) And Yisra’ĕl set out with all that he had,
and came to Be’ĕrsheḇa, and brought offerings to
the Elohim of his father Yitsḥaq. (Gen 46:2) And Elohim spoke to Yisra’ĕl in the visions of
the night, and said, “Yaʽaqoḇ, Yaʽaqoḇ!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Gen 46:3) And
He said, “I am the Ěl, Elohim of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to
Mitsrayim, for I shall make you there into a great nation. (Gen 46:4) “I
myself am going down with you to Mitsrayim and I myself shall certainly bring
you up again. And let Yosĕph put his hand on your eyes.” (Gen 46:5) And
Yaʽaqoḇ rose up from Be’ĕrsheḇa. And the sons of Yisra’ĕl brought their
father Yaʽaqoḇ, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which
Pharaoh had sent to transport him. (Gen 46:6) And they took their livestock and their
property which they had acquired in the land of Kenaʽan, and came into
Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ and all his seed with him. (Gen
46:7) His sons and his sons’
sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed he brought with
him to Mitsrayim. (Gen 46:8) And these were the names of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ and his sons, who came into Mitsrayim: Re’uḇĕn was
Yaʽaqoḇ’s first-born. (Gen 46:9) And the sons of Re’uḇĕn: Ḥanoḵ, and Pallu,
and Ḥetsron, and Karmi. (Gen 46:10) And the sons of Shimʽon: Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin,
and Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul, son of a Kenaʽanite woman. (Gen 46:11)
And the sons of Lĕwi: Gĕreshon, Qehath, and Merari. (Gen 46:12)
And the sons of Yehuḏah: Ěr, and Onan, and Shĕlah, and Perets, and
Zeraḥ – but Ěr and Onan died in the land of Kenaʽan. And the sons of Perets
were Ḥetsron and Ḥamul. (Gen 46:13) And the sons of Yissasḵar: Tola, and Puwʽah,
and Yoḇ, and Shimron. (Gen 46:14) And the sons of Zeḇulun: Sereḏ, and Ělon,
and Yaḥle’ĕl. (Gen 46:15) These were the sons of Lĕ’ah, whom she bore
to Yaʽaqoḇ in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the beings, his sons
and his daughters, were thirty-three. (Gen 46:16) And the sons of Gaḏ: Tsiphyon and Ḥaggi,
Shuni and Etsbon, Ěri and Aroḏi, and Arĕli. (Gen
46:17) And the sons of Ashĕr:
Yimnah, and Yishwah, and Yishwi, and Beriʽah, and Seraḥ, their sister. And the
sons of Beriʽah: Ḥeḇer and Malki’ĕl. (Gen 46:18) These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laḇan
gave to Lĕ’ah his daughter. And these she bore to Yaʽaqoḇ: sixteen beings. (Gen 46:19)
The sons of Raḥĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ’s wife: Yosĕph and Binyamin. (Gen 46:20)
And to Yosĕph in the land of Mitsrayim were born Menashsheh and
Ephrayim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Gen 46:21)
And the sons of Binyamin: Belah, and Beḵer, and Ashbĕl, Gĕra and
Naʽaman, Ěḥi and Rosh, Muppim and Ḥuppim, and Ard. (Gen
46:22) These were the sons of
Raḥĕl who were born to Yaʽaqoḇ: fourteen beings in all. (Gen 46:23)
And the son of Dan: Ḥushim. (Gen 46:24) And the sons of Naphtali: Yaḥtse’ĕl, and
Guni, and Yĕtser, and Shillĕm. (Gen 46:25) These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laḇan
gave to Raḥĕl his daughter, and she bore these to Yaʽaqoḇ: seven beings in
all. (Gen 46:26) All the beings that went with Yaʽaqoḇ to
Mitsrayim, who came from his body, besides Yaʽaqoḇ’s sons’ wives, were
sixty-six beings in all. (Gen 46:27) And the sons of Yosĕph who were born to him
in Mitsrayim were two beings. All the beings of the house of Yaʽaqoḇ who went
to Mitsrayim were seventy. (Gen 46:28) And he sent Yehuḏah before him to Yosĕph, to
point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen. (Gen 46:29)
And Yosĕph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his
father Yisra’ĕl. And he appeared to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his
neck a long time. (Gen 46:30) And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Now let me die,
since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.” (Gen 46:31) And Yosĕph said
to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I am going up to inform
Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were
in the land of Kenaʽan, have come to me. (Gen 46:32) ‘And the men are shepherds, that they have
been men of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds, and
all that they have.’ (Gen 46:33) “And it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and
says, ‘What is your occupation?’ (Gen 46:34) that
you shall say, ‘Your servants have been men of livestock from our youth even
till now, both we and also our fathers,’ so that you dwell in the land of
Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Mitsrites.”
RETURN!
(Gen
47:1) Then Yosĕph went and spoke to Pharaoh, and
said, “My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that
they possess, have come from the land of Kenaʽan.
And see, they are in the land of Goshen.” (Gen 47:2) And he took five men from among his brothers
and presented them to Pharaoh. (Gen 47:3) And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is
your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both
we and also our fathers.” (Gen 47:4) And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to
dwell in the land, because there is no pasture for your servant’s flocks, for
the scarcity of food is severe in the land of Kenaʽan. And now, please let your
servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” (Gen 47:5) And Pharaoh spoke to Yosĕph, saying, “Your
father and your brothers have come to you. (Gen 47:6) “The land of Mitsrayim is before you. Settle
your father and brothers in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of
Goshen. And if you know of capable men among them, then make them chief
herdsmen over my livestock.” (Gen 47:7) And Yosĕph brought in his father Yaʽaqoḇ and
set him before Pharaoh. And Yaʽaqoḇ blessed Pharaoh. (Gen
47:8) And Pharaoh said to
Yaʽaqoḇ, “How old are you?” (Gen 47:9) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Pharaoh, “The days and
the years of my sojourning are one
hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years
of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my
fathers in the days of their sojourning’s.” (Gen
47:10) And Yaʽaqoḇ blessed
Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. (Gen 47:11) So Yosĕph settled his father and his
brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Mitsrayim, in the best of
the land, in the land of Raʽmeses, as Pharaoh had commanded. (Gen 47:12) And Yosĕph provided his father, and his
brothers, and his entire father’s household with bread for the mouth of the
little ones.
Scarcity will also allow us restoration
and intimacy with our Father.
(Gen 47:13) Now there was no bread in all the land,
because the scarcity of food was very severe, and the land of Mitsrayim and all
the land of Kenaʽan became exhausted from the scarcity of food. (Gen 47:14)
And Yosĕph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of
Mitsrayim and in the land of Kenaʽan, for the grain which they bought. And
Yosĕph brought the silver into Pharaoh’s house. (Gen
47:15) And when the silver was
all spent in the land of Mitsrayim and in the land of Kenaʽan, all the
Mitsrites came to Yosĕph and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in
your presence? For the silver is gone!” (Gen 47:16) And Yosĕph said, “Give your livestock, and I
give you bread for your livestock, if the silver is gone.” (Gen 47:17) So
they brought their livestock to Yosĕph, and Yosĕph gave them bread in exchange
for the horses, and for the flocks they owned, and for the herds they owned,
and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their
livestock that year. (Gen 47:18) And when that year had ended, they came to
him the next year and said to him, “We do not hide from my master that our
silver is all spent, and my master also has the livestock we owned. There has not
any been left before my master but our bodies and our lands. (Gen 47:19)
“Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and
our land for bread, and let us and our land be servants of Pharaoh. And give us
seed, and let us live and not die, and let the land not lie waste.” (Gen 47:20)
And Yosĕph bought the entire land of Mitsrayim for Pharaoh, because
every man of the Mitsrites sold his field, because the scarcity of food was
severe upon them. And the land came to be Pharaoh’s. (Gen
47:21) And as for the people, he
moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Mitsrayim to the
other end. (Gen 47:22) Only the ground of the priests he did not
buy, for the priests had portions allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate
their portions which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their
ground. (Gen 47:23) And Yosĕph said to the people, “Look, I have
bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you
shall sow the land. (Gen 47:24) “And it shall be that in the harvest you
shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. And four-fifths is your own, as seed for the
field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your
little ones.” (Gen 47:25) And they said, “You have saved our lives. Let
us find favor in the eyes of my master, and we shall become Pharaoh’s
servants.” (Gen 47:26) And Yosĕph made it a law over the land of
Mitsrayim to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the

(Ezekiel
37:1) The hand of יהוה was upon me and took me out by the Spirit
of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the
valley. And it was filled with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2) And He made me pass among them, all around,
and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3) And He said to me, “Son of man, would these
bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה,
you know.” (Ezekiel 37:4) Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones
and you shall say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5) ‘Thus said the Master יהוה
to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6)
“And I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you
with skin and put a spirit in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that
I am יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel
37:7) and I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there
was a noise, and there was a rattling. And the bones came together, bone to
bone. (Ezekiel 37:8) And I looked and saw sinews and flesh came
upon them, and skin covered them, but there was no spirit in them. (Ezekiel 37:9)
He then said to me, “Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and
you shall say to the spirit, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,
“Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, so that they
live.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 37:10) and I prophesied as
He commanded me, and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood upon
their feet, a very great army. (Ezekiel 37:11) And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See, they
say, ‘Our bones are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we ourselves have
been cut off!’ (Ezekiel 37:12) “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to
them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O My people, I
am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your graves, and shall
bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 37:13) “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from
your graves. (Ezekiel 37:14) “And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live,
and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken,
and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’ ”
Restoration of the ten
Northern Tribes that appear like pagan sun god worshipers (Ephraim- Joseph of
Egyptians youngest who was prophesied to be a mighty multitude at the end of
days- Yep- that’s us!) restored to Judah, Levi ad parts of Benjamin to become
the end time witnesses of Revelation- YEP- ALL OF US will be used in His hands!
(Ezekiel

And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 37:16)
“And you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and
write on it, ‘For Yehuḏah and for the children of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’
Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For
Yosĕph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for all the house of Yisra’ĕl, his
companions.’ (Ezekiel 37:17) “Then bring them
together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand.
(Ezekiel 37:18)
“And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you
show us what you mean by these?’ (Ezekiel 37:19)
say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,
“See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes
of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of
Yehuḏah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.” ’ (Ezekiel 37:20) “And the sticks on which you write
shall be in your hand before their eyes. (Ezekiel
37:21) “And speak to them, ‘Thus
said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the
children of Yisra’ĕl from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and
shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land.

HalleluYah-
Shabbat was truly made for man’s benefit (All Torah is) and man was not made for
Shabbat!
(Luke
6:9) Then יהושע said to them, “I ask you, is it right to
do well on the Sabbath, or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” (Luke 6:10)
And looking around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your
hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored sound as the other. (Luke 6:11)
But they were filled with folly, and were speaking with one another what
they should do to יהושע. (Luke 6:12)
And in those days it came to be that He went out to the mountain to
pray, and was spending the night in prayer to Elohim. (Luke
6:13) And when it became day, He
called near His taught ones and chose from them twelve, whom He also named
emissaries: (Luke 6:14) Shimʽon whom He also
named Kĕpha, and his brother Andri, Yaʽaqoḇ and Yoḥanan, Philip and
Bartholomi, (Luke 6:15) Mattithyahu and T’oma,
Yaʽaqoḇ the son of Alphai and Shimʽon, the one called the Ardent One, (Luke 6:16) Yehuḏah the son of Yaʽaqoḇ and
Yehuḏah from Qerioth who also became the betrayer.
We are coming apart from
Babylonian paganism as we “Come apart (Out of her) from
the whore my people so you take no part of her plagues!” What a reward FROM
COMING APART FROM PAGAN PRACTICES AND BECOME His promised covenant people!
(Ezekiel 37:23)
“And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with
their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I
shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I
shall cleanse them. And they shall be my people, and I am
their Elohim, (Ezekiel 37:24) while
Dawiḏ my servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd
and walk in my right-rulings and guard my laws, and shall do them.
(Ezekiel 37:25)
“And they shall dwell in the land that I
have given to Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall
dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, forever,
and my servant Dawiḏ be their prince forever. (Ezekiel 37:26)
“And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting
covenant it is with them. And I shall place them and increase
them, and shall place my set-apart place in their midst, forever. Ezekiel 37:27) “And My Dwelling Place shall be over
them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. (Ezekiel 37:28)

am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when my set-apart place is in their midst –
forever.” ’ ”

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

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
