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.

obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab

them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
