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: 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 ground of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh’s. (Gen 47:27)  And Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim, in the land of Goshen. And they had possessions there and bore fruit and increased exceedingly.
 
BONUS READ We ARE the DRY BONES coming to life here! He really will bring us back to His land of Promise- ISRAEL!
 
(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 37:15) 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. (Ezekiel 37:22)  “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns.
 
 
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)  “And the gentiles shall know that I, יהוה, am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when my set-apart place is in their midst – forever.” ’ ”
 
My prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW fast, pray and OVERCOME our own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF and have victory overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify our Father in Heaven!
 
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful and targeted prayers for us- your prayers are a lifeline to the Kingdom! Growth and correction are painful but vital as we strive to become more like Yahshua and less like us!
 
Thurston

We MUST decrease and He must increase in us- by our choices and submission to Him in ALL things.

PS Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your targeted And Throne reaching prayers for Billie and me! Thanks are to YHWH- who gives us the Victory through Messiah Yahshua!
 
Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt 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.

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…


Last few weeks we’ve discussed: WE NEED HIS POWER TO OVERCOME and we still do! Remember 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!

Interesting DISCOVERY by my friend Clay (Certainly to me anyway)

I want to share some insight I was reminded of again by my friend Clay. You probably remember that I believe I was shown way back in 2010 that 2017 was the last Jubilee. Hmm- my belief was that the Last Trumpet would be on the Feast of Trumpets 2017. I am still hoping I am wrong! I hope that it is only the Last Jubilee whereas there could be years remaining before the Last Trump. (Since there are 50 years in a Jubilee)  That is my absolute hope and desire, however; here are some points we should consider before we accept that we are not that close to the end of this age.

The Scriptures
 (Rev 12:1)  And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

This is a Heavenly astronomical sign pointing to something extremely serious to Yahweh. It seems that on the First Day of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in 2017, this is calculated to appear in the heavens. I expect this is significant because the First day of Tabernacles is when I believe Yahshua was born; as 15 days before at the Feast of Trumpets the Angel sounded the Trump or announced that Yahshua was coming to tabernacle or dwell with men on the earth. Here is the little bombshell my friend Clay shared- he counted the days (1260) back from that date at it ended on the blood red moon calculated astronomically to be on the Passover 2014! Hmm- well- I put this out there for you to do some research Loved Ones (At least those who are nudged by our Lord to do so). We have all heard of the blood red moons that will occur on Passover 2014 and 2015. I would love to hear your insight and understanding from prayer and study! Here’s some more Scripture that shows this is the time we are fleeing into the wilderness where there is a place prepared for us for 1,260 days!

(Rev 12:2)  And being pregnant, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. (Rev 12:3)  And another sign was seen in the heaven: and see, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. (Rev 12:4)  And his tail draws a third of the stars of the heaven and throws them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born. (Rev 12:5)  And she bore a male child1 who was to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught away to Elohim and to His throne. Footnote: 1Isa. 66:7. (Rev 12:6) And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. (Rev 12:7)  And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought, (Rev 12:8) but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer. (Rev 12:9)  And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads the entire world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him. (Rev 12:10)  And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim, 1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1See 11:15. (Rev 12:11)  “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:12)  “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” (Rev 12:13)  And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Rev 12:14)  And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. (Rev 12:15)  And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water (Insight: I believe the water or flood as many translations say; is people who are helping hasatan and the anti-messiah or anti-christ and will be swallowed up like Korah and the rebellious and destroyed for us) like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Rev 12:16)  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. (Rev 12:17)  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah. This Scripture above is alluding to the start of the Great Tribulation; once the anti-messiah is revealed; he makes war with us and is given power for 42 months. Again, I would love to hear your insight and understanding from prayer and study!

Blessing or Curse? We are now in the process of our choosing which we receive!


(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.”

Here’s our prayer below- Our Words direct us! Start today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use this prayer as Yahshua is commanding us!

(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 I have spoken often- the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having produced fruit that will remain! Let our words agree with Yahshua!

(Mat 12:30)   “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters abroad. (Mat 12:31) “Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men. (Mat 12:32) “And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Mat 12:33)  “Either make the tree good and its fruit well, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. (Mat 12:34)  (Mat 12:34)  “You brood of adders! How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. (Mat 12:35) (Mat 12:35)  “The good man brings forth what is good from the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked from the wicked treasure. (Mat 12:36) (Mat 12:36)  “And I say to you that for every idle (careless) word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Mat 12:37)   For by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous (condemned).”

If no man (male or female) can tame the tongue, which yields our direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship; how then can our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers” putting down others and building their own kingdoms- which of course will be burned with fire! (Pro 18:21)  Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.

Summarizing: YHWH knew we could produce no fruit that would remain. (John 15:5)  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:6)  If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7)  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:8)  Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9)  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. (John 15:10)  If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love.  John 15:16 you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  Knowing that we will produce no fruit that remains on our own, He provided a method for us to walk in His power and His Spirit- He only requires that we trust Him and yield our tongues (Direction like a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship) (Act 1:8)  But you (YES this means you and I) shall receive power, after that the Set Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Then immediately after this they all received a prayer language in Acts 2:4! Listen Loved One, do not think you or I will produce ANY fruit that will remain apart from His Holy Spirit directing you- don’t be prideful. Submit (Humble ourselves) to YHWH and the devil will flee- If we don’t submit our tongues; hasatan will continue to dominate us. Hint: they spoke as the Spirit gave utterance- you will have to open your mouth to speak if or most likely when- you ask Yahshua to give you a supernatural prayer language and baptize you in His Spirit. Since you are already one of the 10 virgins (born again spiritually) seems natural intelligence to become of the 5 virgins who have enough oil (power) to enter the Wedding Feast. Yield and hunger for His help and righteousness TODAY while He may be found and watch the devil flee as you are FILLED! Whoever hungers and thirsts for righteousness WILL BE FILLED! Get HUNGRY for Him!

Here’s again is the picture warning from Yahshua of us last day’s Assembly of believer’s and why we MUST have His power demonstrated!

(Rev 3:14)  “And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodicea write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1Col. 1:15, Heb. 1:6. (Rev 3:15)  I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. (Rev 3:16)  “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:17)  “Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. (Rev 3:18)  “I advise you to buy from me gold refined (Comment- faith and trust comes through fiery trials and now I can add prophetic correction hehe) in the fire, 1 so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. Most (At least some of us) have been blinded by the god of this world and are taken captive to do his will; yielding our free will to hasatan due to our own disobedience of His commands- Torah- Instructions- which 1 John defines as SIN!  Footnote: 1Ps. 19:10, Ps. 119:72 & 127, Prov. 30:5. (Rev 3:19)  “As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent. (Rev 3:20)  “See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:21)  To him who overcomes (Comment: the fellowship is only available to him who overcomes!) I shall give to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne. (Rev 3:22)  “He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ” With understanding our need for the Helper and Comforter He has made available if we so choose to humble ourselves and our tongues and be the 5 virgins with power and provision (oil of His spirit); Please join and let’s fast and pray and receive His INSTRUCTIONS and power loved one! WITH THAT DECISION; let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:


This week’s Torah Scriptures: MIKETZ “At the End”

Genesis 41:11- 44:17; 1 Kings 3:15- 4:1; 1Kings 7:40-50; 1 Cor 2:1-5


(Gen 41:1)  And it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river, (Gen 41:2) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Gen 41:3) then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. (Gen 41:4)  And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. (Gen 41:5)  And he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good, (Gen 41:6)  and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Gen 41:7)  And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream. (Gen 41:8)  And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh. (Gen 41:9)  Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my crimes this day. (Gen 41:10)  “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, (Gen 41:11) each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, him and me. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. (Gen 41:12)  “And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream. (Gen 41:13)  “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” (Gen 41:14)  Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh. (Gen 41:15)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to interpret it.” (Gen 41:16)  And Yosĕph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.” (Gen 41:17)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river (Gen 41:18) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Gen 41:19) then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:20)  “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. (Gen 41:21)  “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. (Gen 41:22)  “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good, (Gen 41:23)  then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Gen 41:24)  “And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

Dreams are still prophetic – ask the Ruach (Spirit) to guide you into all truth!

(Gen 41:25)  And Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: (Gen 41:26) “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream. (Gen 41:27)  “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food. (Gen 41:28)  “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. (Gen 41:29)  “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim, (Gen 41:30)  but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land, (Gen 41:31) and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe. (Gen 41:32)  “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it. (Gen 41:33)  “And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:34)  “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty. (Gen 41:35)  “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. (Gen 41:36)  “And the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food.” (Gen 41:37)  And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. (Gen 41:38)  And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” (Gen 41:39)  Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. (Gen 41:40)  “Be over my house, you yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am greater than you.” (Gen 41:41)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Gen 41:42)  And Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it on Yosĕph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. (Gen 41:43)  And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:44)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Gen 41:45)  And Pharaoh called Yosĕph’s name Zaphnath-Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. And Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:46)  Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:47)  And in the seven years of plenty the ground brought forth generously. (Gen 41:48)  And he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. (Gen 41:49)  Thus Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting, for it was without number. (Gen 41:50)  And to Yosĕph were born two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Gen 41:51)  And Yosĕph called the name of the first-born Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and my entire father’s house.” (Gen 41:52)  And the name of the second he called Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction.” (Gen 41:53)  And the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end, (Gen 41:54) and the seven years of scarcity of food began to come, as Yosĕph had said. And the scarcity of food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim there was bread. (Gen 41:55)  But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered, and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrites, “Go to Yosĕph, do whatever he says to you.” (Gen 41:56)  And the scarcity of food was over all the face of the earth, and Yosĕph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of food was severe in the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:57)  And all the earth came to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.

YHWH always had direction for PROVISION and RESTORATION!

(Gen 42:1)  And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw that there was grain in Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ said to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?” (Gen 42:2)  And he said, “See, I have heard that there is grain in Mitsrayim. Go down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die.” (Gen 42:3)  And Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. (Gen 42:4)  But Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕph’s brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.” (Gen 42:5)  And the sons of Yisra’ĕl went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan. (Gen 42:6)  And Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. (Gen 42:7)  And Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food.” (Gen 42:8)  So Yosĕph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. (Gen 42:9)  And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!” (Gen 42:10)  And they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food. (Gen 42:11)  “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.” (Gen 42:12)  But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” (Gen 42:13)  And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” (Gen 42:14)  And Yosĕph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ (Gen 42:15)  “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. (Gen 42:16)  “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!” (Gen 42:17)  And he put them all together in prison for three days. (Gen 42:18)  Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear Elohim: (Gen 42:19) “If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses. (Gen 42:20)  “And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed, and you do not die.” And so they did. (Gen 42:21)  And they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us.” (Gen 42:22)  And Re’uḇĕn answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of us.” (Gen 42:23)  And they did not know that Yosĕph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. (Gen 42:24)  And he turned himself away from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shimʽon from them and bound him before their eyes. (Gen 42:25)  And Yosĕph commanded and they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them. (Gen 42:26)  So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there. (Gen 42:27)  And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack! (Gen 42:28)  And he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!” And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, “What is this that Elohim has done to us?” (Gen 42:29)  So they came to Yaʽaqoḇ their father in the land of Kenaʽan and reported to him all that befell them, saying, (Gen 42:30) “The man, the master of the land, spoke to us harshly, and took us for spies of the land. (Gen 42:31)  “But we said to him, ‘We are trustworthy, we are not spies. (Gen 42:32)  ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Kenaʽan.’ (Gen 42:33) “And the man, the master of the land, said to us, ‘by this I know that you are trustworthy: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the scarcity of food of your households, and go. (Gen 42:34)  ‘And bring your youngest brother to me, then I know that you are not spies, but that you are trustworthy – I give your brother to you, and you move about in the land.’ ” (Gen 42:35) and it came to be as they emptied their sacks, that look, the bundle of each man’s silver was in his sack! And when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid. (Gen 42:36)  And Yaʽaqoḇ their father said to them, “You have bereaved me – Yosĕph is no more, and Shimʽon is no more, and you would take Binyamin! All this is against me.” (Gen 42:37)  So Re’uḇĕn spoke to his father, saying, “Take the lives of my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I myself bring him back to you.” (Gen 42:38)  But he said, “My son is not going down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should come to him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my grey hair with sorrow to the grave.”

Restoration journey comes with obedient sacrifice called REPENTANCE!

(Gen 43:1)  But the scarcity of food was severe in the land. (Gen 43:2)  And it came to be, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Mitsrayim that their father said to them, “Go back, and buy us a little food.” (Gen 43:3)  But Yehuḏah spoke to him, saying, “The man vehemently warned us, saying, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Gen 43:4) “If you let our brother go with us, we go down and buy you food. (Gen 43:5)  “But if you do not let him go, we do not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Gen 43:6) And Yisra’ĕl said, “Why did you do evil to me to inform the man that you still had another brother?” (Gen 43:7)  And they said, “The man kept asking about us and our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ And we informed him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” (Gen 43:8)  And Yehuḏah said to Yisra’ĕl his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, and live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. (Gen 43:9)  “I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever. (Gen 43:10)  “For if we had not delayed, truly by now we could have returned this second time.” (Gen 43:11)  And their father Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If so, then do this: Take some of the best fruit of the land in your vessels and bring a present down for the man, a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds. (Gen 43:12)  “And take double silver in your hand, and take back in your hand the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. It could have been a mistake. (Gen 43:13)  “And take your brother, and arise, go back to the man. (Gen 43:14)  “And Ěl Shaddai give to you compassion before the man, so that he shall release your other brother and Binyamin. And I, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved!” (Gen 43:15)  And the men took that present and Binyamin, and they took double the amount of silver in their hand, and arose and went down to Mitsrayim, and stood before Yosĕph. (Gen 43:16)  And Yosĕph saw Binyamin with them, and said to the one over his house, “Bring the men home, and make a great slaughter, and prepare, for these men are to eat with me at noon.” (Gen 43:17)  And the man did as Yosĕph said, and the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s house. (Gen 43:18)  And the men were afraid because they were brought into Yosĕph’s house. And they said, “It is because of the silver, which was put back into our sacks the first time that we are brought in, to throw himself upon us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves, our donkeys too.” (Gen 43:19)  So they came near to the man over the house of Yosĕph, and spoke to him at the door of the house, (Gen 43:20) and said, “O my master, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, (Gen 43:21) but it came to be, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks and saw each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack, our silver in its weight. And we have brought it back in our hand. (Gen 43:22)  “And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.” (Gen 43:23)  But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!” And he brought Shimʽon out to them. (Gen 43:24)  And the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys fodder. (Gen 43:25)  And they made the present ready for Yosĕph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there. (Gen 43:26)  And when Yosĕph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth. (Gen 43:27)  And he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” (Gen 43:28)  And they said, “Your servant our father is in good health, he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and did obeisance. (Gen 43:29)  And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Binyamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “Elohim show favor to you, my son.” (Gen 43:30)  And Yosĕph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and wept there. (Gen 43:31)  Then he washed his face and came out, and controlled himself, and said, “Serve the food.” (Gen 43:32)  And they set him a place by himself, and those by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Mitsrites. (Gen 43:33)  And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other in astonishment. (Gen 43:34)  And he took portions to them from before him, but Binyamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.

REPENTANCE always allows for restoration

(Gen 44:1)  And he commanded the one over his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as they are able to bear, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack. (Gen 44:2)  “And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain.” And he did according to the word of Yosĕph which he spoke. (Gen 44:3)  As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. (Gen 44:4)  And when they had gone out of the city, not having gone far, Yosĕph said to the one over his house, “Rise up, follow the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? (Gen 44:5)  ‘Is this not the one from which my master drinks, and with which he indeed divines? You have done evil in what you have done.’ ” (Gen 44:6) so he overtook them and spoke these words to them. (Gen 44:7)  And they said to him, “Why does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do according to this word. (Gen 44:8)  “See, we brought back to you from the land of Kenaʽan the silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master’s house? (Gen 44:9)  “With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall become my master’s slaves as well.” (Gen 44:10)  And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent.” (Gen 44:11)  And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack. (Gen 44:12)  And he searched, with the oldest first and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin’s sack. (Gen 44:13)  And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went back to the city. (Gen 44:14)  And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to Yosĕph’s house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground. (Gen 44:15)  And Yosĕph said to them, “What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that a man like me indeed divines?” (Gen 44:16)  And Yehuḏah said, “What do we say to my master? What do we speak? Or how do we clear ourselves? Elohim has found out the crookedness of your servants. See, we are my master’s slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found.” (Gen 44:17)  But he said, “Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he becomes my slave. And you go up in peace to your father.”

Wisdom is from YHWH! Let everyone ask for wisdom and it will be given!

(1Ki 3:15)  And Shelomoh awoke, and see, it was a dream! And he came into Yerushalayim and stood before the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and offered up burnt offerings and made peace offerings. And he made a feast for all his servants. (1Ki 3:16)  Then two women, whores, came to the sovereign, and stood before him. (1Ki 3:17)  And one woman said, “O my master, this woman and I dwell in the same house. And I gave birth while she was in the house. (1Ki 3:18)  “And it came to be, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together. There was no one else with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. (1Ki 3:19)  “Then this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him. (1Ki 3:20)  “And she rose up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your female servant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1Ki 3:21)  “And I rose up in the morning to nurse my son and saw he was dead. But I looked at him closely in the morning, and saw he was not my son whom I had borne.” (1Ki 3:22)  And the other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And the first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” And they spoke before the sovereign. (1Ki 3:23)  And the sovereign said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one,’ while the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’ ” (1Ki 3:24) and the sovereign said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the sovereign. (1Ki 3:25)  And the sovereign said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” (1Ki 3:26)  And the woman whose son was living spoke to the sovereign, for she was overcome with compassion for her son. And she said, “O my master, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” (1Ki 3:27)  And the sovereign answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him – she is his mother.” (1Ki 3:28)  And all Yisra’ĕl heard of the right- ruling which the sovereign had rendered. And they feared the sovereign, for they saw that the wisdom of Elohim was in him to do right-ruling. (1Ki 7:40)  And Ḥiram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And Ḥiram completed doing all the work that he was to do for Sovereign Shelomoh on the House of יהוה: (1Ki 7:41)  the two columns, and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns, and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the columns; (1Ki 7:42)  and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns; (1Ki 7:43)  and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; (1Ki 7:44)  and the one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; (1Ki 7:45)  and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these utensils which Ḥiram made for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House of יהוה were of polished bronze. (1Ki 7:46)  The sovereign had them cast in clay in the district of Yardĕn between Sukkoth and Tsarethan. (1Ki 7:47)  And Shelomoh left all the utensils unweighed, because they were many, nor was the weight of the bronze searched out. (1Ki 7:48)  So Shelomoh made all the utensils for the House of יהוה: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread; (1Ki 7:49)  and the lampstands of refined gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the Speaking Place, with the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold; (1Ki 7:50)  and the basins, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined gold, and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Set-apart Place, and for the doors of the house of the Hĕḵal. (1Ki 7:51)  Thus all the work which Sovereign Shelomoh had done for the House of יהוה was completed. And Shelomoh brought in the set-apart items of his father Dawiḏ: the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the House of יהוה.

We need to demonstrate His power of speaking His word as He will watch over His word to perform it!

(1Co 2:1)  And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1Co 2:2)  For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1Co 2:3)  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1Co 2:4)  And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1Co 2:5) in order that your belief should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim.

Like Joseph, we too are becoming manifested as the sons of YHWH and will be delivered from all our afflictions- even future scarcity of food and other distresses! (Act 7:9) “And the ancestors, becoming jealous, sold Yosĕph into Mitsrayim. But Elohim was with him, (Act 7:10) and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim. And he appointed him governor over Mitsrayim and his entire house. (Act 7:11)  “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food. (Act 7:12)  “But Yaʽaqoḇ heard that there was grain in Mitsrayim, and he sent out our fathers the first time, (Act 7:13) and at the second time Yosĕph was made known to his brothers, and Yosĕph’s race became known to the Pharaoh. (Act 7:14)  “And Yosĕph sent and called his father Yaʽaqoḇ and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. (Act 7:15)  “And Yaʽaqoḇ went down to Mitsrayim, and died, he and our fathers, (Act 7:16)  and they were brought over to Sheḵem and laid in the tomb that Aḇraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem.

Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful and targeted prayers for Billie and me- growth and correction are painful but vital as we each strive to become more like Yahshua and less like us! We MUST decrease and He must increase in us! My prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW fast and pray and OVERCOME our own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF and have victory overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify our Father in Heaven! Let’s make ourselves ready to be the BRIDE that flees to the wilderness where a place is prepared for us.

Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt 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.
