Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is attached for ease of print and study format and also available at the website below. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered!
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…

Torah Studies; www.seedtime2harvest.com for
free video and audio presentations that help build our faith and trust in our
coming King!
Truth Seekers, we have
studied and reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can
expect in the days ahead and we FEAR NOT. We have talked about the Global Reset
and how Yahweh will provide and establish provision as more wickedness is poured
out and established against us. Please remember the Scriptures declare this
Exodus will be a far greater deliverance than even Moses and Israel crossing
the Red Sea. Remember with me last week’s look at the hope
we can trust in. There
is a recent prophetic word I received and agree with- that the end of June 2013
will bring forth blessings for those who love Yahuah’s Name and I have attached
it for your perusal; Consider the prophetic events unfolding Loved One:
I concur with this
prophecy- um- not because I have ever really heard of this
man; but a still small voice from the Father- and what I see happening - Yahweh
is preparing to bring forth blessings of ministry, provision, direction,
strategy, power and on and on goes the list. Consider…as the enemy pours out
wickedness in plans and provision; our Heavenly Father pours out His plan and
provision. Consider the following Scripture with a new paradigm:
NKJ (Isa 59:19) So
shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the
rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD
will lift up a standard against him.
Okay; you all know there
were no punctuation points in Hebrew- so consider moving the comma and
PAUSE (put there by King James translators) to reflect who really has all power!
NKJ (Isa 59:19) So
shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the
rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in, like a flood the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against
him.
If this is a true
prophetic word as I believe; then we can expect some miraculous breakthrough in
provision, direction, and ministry from Yahweh for those who Fear His name
(Hold in highest esteem and awe) very soon. I set this out to a select few for
their consideration as I knew them to be testers of truth and sprit filled
Torah Keepers. Here are a few of the replies but all concurred:
AMEN AND AMEN.... MAKES PERFECT SENSE!!!! S- South Africa
VERY interesting!
We’ve been feeling the same! Blessings to you my brother, B&K- Costa Rica
Thank
you for this prophetic attachment. I needed this; we all needed it. You have no
idea how many believers went through great trials in June. Craig and I have
been on our knees 24/7. Believers experienced attacks on their health as well
not to mention finances. The same word of confirmation came from Angus Buchan but
it was translated into Afrikaans so I could not forward it to you. We need to
humble ourselves and pray like never before and be like Elijah that did not get
up from his knees until he saw the first cloud. You and Billie are in our
prayers all the time and we really hope to see you soon again. Be Blessed son
and daughter of YAH He is well pleased with you! C-
South Africa-
There were many replies but this short synopsis gives you the
idea. So consider carefully our study today ad draw near to Him who made Heaven
and Earth! HalleluYAH! Remember that wealth was given to Abraham and Isaac-
they became wealthy- but for a purpose- they were blessed to be a blessing! Our
Elohim will provide no matter what the devil is pouring out-FEAR NOT!
Loved One, my prayer for you and I today is that we have faith
increased to match our obedience and a willingness to humble ourselves to
submit our tongues to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide us into all truth
and teach us of things to come! That our prayers are given thanks for instead
of continually asking- that we show actions that indicate we believe the
promises of Yahshua regardless of the current storms and circumstances!
HalleluYAH- that all our loved ones come into the Kingdom forever! May they
taste and see the LORD (YHWH) is good and His mercy endures forever!
This
week’s study is a great one to share with your loved ones as it is explanatory
of YHWH restoring all things. Yes including all who are willing and obedient-
all who will humble ourselves and SUBMIT; (bow and obey) to His word. We MUST
learn that the Torah and the Prophets is His Constitution for His Kingdom!So
this study is a good one to make the effort and share by forwarding to your
friends and family- I encourage you Loved One to do that!
Sometimes Loved One, the road must be repeated.
That is why it is a Torah
Cycle. (Comment: the cycle is likened to the ancient
path we are to return to; a path is often considered “a beaten path”
due to returning to it often) We must learn to seek YHWH for His love and
compassion to download to us; for others in our lives. Sometimes we only
understand after returning many times. We can read the Scriptures over and over
and then out of nowhere it seems, YHWH reveals new Truth to us! I can remember
telling Yahshua once that the job description of the angelic beings (Seraphim) flying around the Throne Room
in Heaven and saying holy, holy is YHWH might get boring after a few thousand
years. (Isa 6:1) In the year that Sovereign Uzziyah died,
I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up,
and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal. (Temple) (Isa 6:2) Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six
wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two
he flew. (Isa 6:3) And one cried to another and said,
“Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!” (Comment:
Many versions declare holy, holy is YHWH) (Isa 6:4) And the posts of
the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was
filled with smoke. (Isa 6:5) And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of
unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the sovereign, יהוה of hosts.” Then our loving King dropped in my spirit that He
reveals more of His glory to them every cycle around Him.
(Comment: glory according to Moses’ report was a revealing of more of His
goodness and mercy) This creates an instant surge of joy and enthusiasm in
these angelic beings! In like manner He reveals to us as more of Himself as we
seek Him with all our hearts. Why is this so important? Obviously in fiery
trials and testing’s we sometimes feel abandoned and at our end. Some even
become hope-less. We must join ourselves to Him by getting in His
presence and being restored- regularly! (Rom 5:1) Therefore, having
been justified by faith, we have peace with YHWH through our Master Yahshua
Messiah, (Rom 5:2) through whom also we have obtained our
introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope
of the glory of YHWH. (Rom 5:3) And not only this, but we also exult in
our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; (Rom 5:4) and perseverance, proven character; and proven character,
hope; (Rom 5:5) and hope does not disappoint, because the
love of YHWH has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who
was given to us. (Rom 5:6) While we were still helpless, (Hopeless also?) at the right time
Messiah died for the ungodly. (Rom
5:7) For one will
hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would
dare even to die. (Rom 5:8) But YHWH demonstrates His own love toward
us, in that while we were yet transgressors of Torah (sinners), Messiah died for us. (Rom 5:9) Much more then,
having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of YHWH through Him.
Yahshua
is, will be, and has always been the Word (Torah) YEP- even at Mt. Sinai!
(John 1:1)
In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. (John
1:2) He was in
the beginning with Elohim.
(John 1:3)
All came to be through Him, 1 and without Him not even one came to
be that came to be. Footnote: 1Eph. 3:9,
Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:2, Heb. 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Ps. 33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:6) There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name
was Yoḥanan. (John 1:7) This one came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all might believe through him. (John
1:8) He was not that Light, but
that he might bear witness of that Light. (Yah Chanan or John- his name in Hebrew explains what he was sent for-
to teach repentance; as his name means Yah’s
Mercy) and you only can receive it one way Loved One’- by REPENTING!
Once
again we need to remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such
you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore loved ones.
Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with
him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your
mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother? And
who are
my brothers?
(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward
his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50)
For whosoever shall do
the will
of my
Father which is
in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves
and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH! /Instructions) we are
Yahshua’s (Jesus) family!
We should also realize a
truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew
idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last
days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that
we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that
really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the
word of YHWH of none effect! (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and
my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto
thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers
have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
(Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add
to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am
commanding you. Footnote: 1See
also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
Can we even imagine thinking we were serving YHWH our
whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of
lawlessness- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually
were disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This
experience would and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and
gnashing of teeth, into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we
may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing is too hard for you YHWH!
There it is in a
nutshell once again. You are family if you
are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more
than you want acceptance from men and their traditions. This group would
include us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I
use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He
increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do
the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24)
Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25)
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake
shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to
humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This
losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image
we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we
are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
How do we hunger and thirst for righteousness?
(James 4:7) So then subject (submit/humble)
yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil1
and he shall flee from you. Footnote:
1Or adversary. (James
4:8) Draw near to
Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the
hearts, you double-minded! (James
4:9) Lament and mourn
and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master,
and He shall lift you up. You and I must change and receive the engrafted
word of LIFE, (HUMBLE OURSELVES) turn in repentance and OBEY HIM. We can
no longer say we love Him and not do what He says! (Luke 6:46) And why do
you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Do WE
call Him Lord and Master but not obey Him? Are we of those that think His LAW
(Commentary: Law was translated that but it is Torah-Instructions in Hebrew) is
done away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that
position! Is Messiah reigning in Jerusalem? The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled.
Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled
down to the day, hour and minute! He was the Passover Lamb, 3 days later the
High Priest was still in seclusion as was prescribed of the High Priest prior
to offering the thanksgiving for the first fruits of the Earth, when He
said “Don’t touch me Mary, I have not yet ascended to My Father.” He is and was the High Priest! Seven sevens (weeks) later He sent the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit) on Shavuot, the anniversary of giving the Torah (Law) at Mt.
Sinai. He came the first time to be Messiah Ben Joseph, the
suffering servant to be the Lamb of YHWH (God)
sacrifice.
He is coming a second
time very soon as Messiah Ben David, the Reigning King! He
will rule His Kingdom from Jerusalem! Is He now ruling? NO. It is not all
fulfilled! Let’s look at what Yahshua said about the Law being done away
with and WHEN this will occur! (Mat
5:17) Think not
that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfill. (Mat 5:18) For verily I say unto you, until heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Even to us casual
observers, heaven and earth have not passed! Let’s acknowledge that fact
as a truth and return to Him as we study this week’s portion and allow Him to
restore ALL things- especially us! He will restore His Family’s health like
they were all healed leaving Egypt, and restore our fortunes likened to the
forefathers of our faith leaving Egypt with all their gold!
(Jeremiah 30:3) 'For behold, days are coming,' declares
YHWH, 'when I will
restore the
fortunes of my people Israel and Judah.' (Comment: this
means you and I who are grafted into Israel by grace by faith in Yahshua and
are heirs now of Abraham according to the promise) YHWH says, 'I will also
bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall
possess it.'" (Jeremiah 30:16) 'Therefore all who devour you will be
devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;
and those who plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will
give for prey. (Jeremiah 30:17) 'For I will restore you to health and
I will heal you of your wounds,' declares YHWH, 'because they have called
you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."' (Jeremiah 30:18) "Thus says YHWH, 'Behold, I will restore the
fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwelling places;
and the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, and the palace will stand on its
rightful place. (Jeremiah 30:19) 'From them will proceed thanksgiving and
the voice of those who celebrate; and I will multiply them and they will not be
diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. (Jeremiah 30:20) 'Their children also will be as formerly, and their
congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their
oppressors. (Jeremiah 30:21) 'Their leader shall be one of them, and
their ruler shall come forth from their midst; and I will bring him near and he
shall approach me; for who would dare to risk his life to approach me?'
declares YHWH. (Jeremiah 30:22) 'You shall be my people, and I will
be your Elohim.'"
Family;
WE are the ones addressed below by James- (Ya’Akov) who are dispersed for
accepting the pagan worship we inherited- scattered all over the world- we
repent to be RESTORED!
(James 1:1)
Yaʽaqoḇ, a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the
twelve tribes who are in the dispersion:
Greetings. (James 1:2) My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, (James 1:3) knowing that the proving of your belief (faith-trust) works endurance. (James 1:4)
And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and
complete, lacking in naught. (James 1:5) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of
Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given
to him. (James 1:6) But he should ask in belief (faith-trust), not doubting, for he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:7)
For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever from the
Master – (James 1:8) he is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways. (James 1:9) And let the lowly brother boast in his
exaltation, (James 1:10) but the rich in his
humiliation, because as a flower of the field he shall pass away. (James 1:11)
For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass, and its
flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man shall
fade away in his ways. (James 1:12) Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for
when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master
has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:13) Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am
enticed by Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He
entices no one. (James 1:14) But each one is enticed when he is drawn away
by his own desires and trapped. (James 1:15) Then, when desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. (James 1:16)
Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. (James
1:17) Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom
there is no change, nor shadow of turning.1
Footnote: 1See Mal. 3:6. (James 1:18)
Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to
be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. (James
1:19) So then, my beloved
brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of man does not work the
righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and
overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)
And become doers of the Word,
and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom.
2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23) If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a
doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away,
and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the perfect Torah,
that of freedom,1 and continues in it,
not becoming a hearer that forgets, but
a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah.
Footnote: 1See 2:12. (James 1:26)
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his
tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (VAIN) (James
1:27) Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep
ourselves unstained (unpolluted) from the world. I also want to review from last
week about the witness of Elisha speaking a prayer request with great
confidence that he would be granted (Based
on what he believed and SPOKE)
supernatural help against all his supernatural enemies. Consider
again with me the anointing which Yahshua had to set at liberty those that are
bruised, heal broken hearts and set captives free with. Remember with me that
Elisha received a double anointing mantel from Elijah which obviously flowed
from Yahshua! Here is a miraculous deliverance to consider for ourselves as we
can expect these types because when we seek Him with all our hearts we WILL
find Him- His anointing will also allow us to trample on snakes and scorpions (demonic realm) and OVERCOME
ALL the power of the enemy that BY NO MEANS will anything harm us.
We will also
have power to strike the enemy blind! Note below that the enemy continued to
advance against him until---UNTIL he prayed!
2Ki
6:8
and the sovereign of Aram (Syria) was
fighting against Yisra’ĕl, and took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp
is in such and such a place.” 2Ki 6:9 and the
man of Elohim sent to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “Be on guard, do not
ass this place, for the Arameans are coming down there.” 2Ki 6:10 The sovereign of Yisra’ĕl then sent to the
place of which the man of Elohim had spoken to him, and warned him, so that he
was on his guard there, not once, and not twice. 2Ki
6:11 and this greatly troubled the heart of the sovereign of Aram. And
he called his servants and said to them, “Declare to me! Who of us is for the
sovereign (King) of Yisra’ĕl?” 2Ki 6:12 and one of his servants said, “None,
my master, O sovereign, for Elisha, the prophet who is in Yisra’ĕl, declares to
the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 2Ki 6:13 and he said, “Go and see where he is, so
that I send and get him.” And it was reported to him, saying, “See, he is in
Dothan.” 2Ki 6:14 and he sent horses and
chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the
city. 2Ki 6:15 and the servant of the man of
Elohim rose early and went out, and saw an army, surrounding the city with
horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Oh, my master! What do we
do?” 2Ki 6:16
and he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are
with them.” 2Ki 6:17 and Elisha prayed,
and said, “יהוה, I pray, open his eyes and let him see.” and יהוה
opened the eyes of the young man, and he looked and saw the mountain covered
with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2Ki 6:18 and when they came down to
him, Elisha
prayed to יהוה, and said, “Strike
this nation with blindness, I pray.” And He struck them with blindness
according to the word of Elisha. We too will have supernatural power over
a supernatural enemy- IF we humble ourselves and be willing to walk in His
power that we do not control. We truly must yield and learn to She’mah; HEAR
AND DO! This likely will require our seeking Him in unknown tongues and
worship!
THINK ON THE SCRIPTURE PROMISES OF YHWH AND
SPEAK THEM- DO PEAK OR AGREE WITH FACTS! WE MUST WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY
SIGHT!
(Philippians 4:4)
Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5)
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6)
Do not worry at all, (Be anxious for nothing) but in every matter, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7)
And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard
your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע.
(Philippians 4:8) For the rest, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is
lovely, whatever is of good report,
if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these.
(The Scripture Promises)
DO NOT FEAR- BUT ONLY BELIEVE! Good advice from Yahshua is for us today as we will
be tested with apparently overwhelming storms and facts; (Mar 5:35) as He was speaking, they came
from the ruler of the congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your
daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” (Mar 5:36) Having heard the
word that was spoken, יהושע said to the ruler of the congregation, “Do not be
afraid – only believe.”
ASV (Mar 5:35) While he yet spake, they come
from the ruler of the synagogue's house
saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further? (Mar 5:36) But
Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only
believe.
Understanding
our WORDS AND ACTIONS must agree with His from for our witness to be usable and
continue- OUR RESTORATION- let’s turn
our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
Beshalach “When he sent/let go”
Exodus
13:17-17:16; Judges 4:4-5:31; John 6:22-40
More shadow picture of The Book of
Revelation- (HalleluYAH- our Deliverer is coming!)
(Exodus 13:17)
And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did
not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for
Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to
Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 13:18) So Elohim led the people around by way of the
wilderness of the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from
the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 13:19) And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him,
for he certainly made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall
certainly visit you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.” (Exodus 13:20)
And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the
wilderness. (Exodus 13:21) And יהוה
went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a
column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. (Exodus 13:22) The column of cloud did not cease by day or the column of
fire by night, before the people.
We will also be led by ways which
seem strange and defenseless- our goal is to Hear and Obey!
(Exodus 14:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 14:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before Pi
Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Baʽal Tsephon – camp before it
by the sea. (Exodus 14:3) “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, ‘they are entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’
(Exodus 14:4) “And I shall harden the heart of
Pharaoh, and he shall pursue them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and
over all his army, and the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה.” And they did so. (Exodus 14:5) And it was reported to the sovereign of
Mitsrayim that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants
was turned against the people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we
have let Yisra’ĕl go from serving us?” (Exodus 14:6) So he made his chariot ready and took his
people with him. (Exodus 14:7) And he took six hundred choice chariots, and
all the chariots of Mitsrayim with officers over all of them. (Exodus 14:8)
And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh Sovereign of
Mitsrayim, and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of
Yisra’ĕl went out defiantly. (Exodus 14:9) And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the
horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook
them camping by the sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Baʽal Tsephon. (Exodus 14:10)
And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted their eyes
and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly afraid, so
the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה.
(Exodus 14:11)
And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the wilderness
because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have done to us, to
bring us up out of Mitsrayim? (Exodus 14:12) “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in
Mitsrayim, saying, ‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been better for us to serve
the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.” (Exodus
14:13) And Mosheh said to the
people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still,
and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today. For the
Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again. (Exodus 14:14)
“יהוה does fight for you, and you keep still.”
(Exodus 14:15)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to me?
Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward. (Exodus 14:16)
“And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and
divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through the midst
of the sea. (Exodus 14:17) “And I see I am hardening the hearts of the
Mitsrites, and they shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh
and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exodus
14:18) “And the Mitsrites shall
know that I am יהוה, when I am esteemed
through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.” (Exodus
14:19) And the Messenger of
Elohim, (Comment: Likely this is Yahshua)
who went before the camp of Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the
column of cloud went from before them and stood behind them, (Exodus 14:20) and came between the camp of the
Mitsrites and the camp of Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and
it gave light by night, and the one did not come near the other all the night. (Exodus 14:21)
And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night,
and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. (Exodus 14:22)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on dry
ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Exodus 14:23)
And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea,
all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exodus 14:24)
And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה
looked down upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and
cloud, and He brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion. (Exodus 14:25)
And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with
difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl, for
יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.” (Exodus 14:26)
Then יהוה said to Mosheh,
“Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters come back upon the
Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” (Exodus
14:27) And Mosheh stretched out
his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its usual flow, at the break of
day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into it. Thus יהוה
overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea, (Exodus
14:28) and the waters returned and
covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after them, and not even one was left of them. (Exodus 14:29)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst of the
sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Exodus 14:30)
Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that
day out of the hand of the Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on
the seashore. (Exodus 14:31) And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in Mitsrayim, and the people
feared יהוה, and believed יהוה
and His servant Mosheh.
Song
of Moses which the Remnant of Yehuda and Ephraim will sing along with the Song
of the Lamb!
(Exodus 15:1)
Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to יהוה, and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and
its rider He has thrown into the sea! (Exodus 15:2) “Yah is my strength and song, and He has
become my deliverance. He is my Ěl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and
I exalt Him. (Exodus 15:3) “יהוה is a man of battle, יהוה
is His Name. (Exodus 15:4) “He has cast
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his chosen officers are
drowned in the Sea of Reeds. (Exodus 15:5)
“The depths covered them; they went down to the bottom like a stone. (Exodus
15:6) “Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy. (Exodus 15:7) “And in the greatness of your excellence you
pulled down those who rose up against you. You sent forth your wrath, it
consumed them like stubble. (Exodus 15:8)
“And with the wind of your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the
floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea. (Exodus
15:9) “The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I
overtake, I divide the spoil, my being is satisfied on them. I draw out my
sword, my hand destroys them.’ (Exodus 15:10)
“You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them, and they sank like
lead in the mighty waters. (Exodus 15:11)
“Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty
ones? Who is like you, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working
wonders? (Exodus 15:12) “You stretched
out your right hand, the earth swallowed them. (Exodus 15:13) “In Your kindness you led the people whom you
have redeemed; in your strength you guided them to your set-apart dwelling. (Exodus
15:14) “Peoples heard, they trembled, and
anguish gripped the inhabitants of Philistia. (Exodus 15:15) “Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the
mighty men of Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kenaʽan
melted. (Exodus 15:16) “Fear and dread
fell on them, by the greatness of your arm they are as silent as a stone, until
your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people,
whom you have bought, pass over. (Exodus 15:17)
“You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,
in the place, O יהוה, which you have made
for your own dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה,
which your hands have prepared. (Exodus 15:18)
“יהוה reigns forever and ever.” (Exodus 15:19) The horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots
and his horsemen into the sea, and יהוה
brought back the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went
on dry ground in the midst of the sea. (Exodus 15:20) And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of
Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with
timbrels and with dances. (Exodus 15:21)
And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה,
for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
(Exodus 15:22)
And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out
into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and
found no water. (Exodus 15:23) And they came to Marah, and they were unable
to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was
called Marah. (Exodus 15:24) And the people grumbled against Mosheh,
saying, “What are we to drink?” (Exodus 15:25) Then he cried out to יהוה,
and יהוה showed him a tree. And when he threw it
into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a law and a
right-ruling for them, and there He tried them. (Exodus
15:26) And He said, “If you
diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do
what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all
His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites,
for I am יהוה who heals you.” (Exodus
15:27) And they came to Ělim,
where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped
there by the waters.
We
remember this is a shadow picture and warning to us not to complain but AGREE
with YHWH!
(Exodus 16:1)
And they set out from Ělim, and all the congregation of the children of
Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ělim and Sinai, on the
fifteenth day of the second month after their going out of the land of
Mitsrayim. (Exodus 16:2) And all the congregation of the children of
Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness. (Exodus 16:3)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If
only we had died by the hand of יהוה in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and
when we ate bread to satisfaction! You have brought us out into this wilderness
to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” (Exodus 16:4) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the
people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to try them,
whether they walk in My Torah or not. (Exodus 16:5) “And it shall be on the sixth day that they
shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather
daily.” (Exodus 16:6) And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the
children of Yisra’ĕl, “At evening you shall know that יהוה
has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus
16:7) “And in the morning you
shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears your
grumblings against יהוה. And what are we,
which you grumble against us?” (Exodus 16:8) And Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread
to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your grumblings
which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us
but against יהוה.” (Exodus 16:9)
And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the children
of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come near before יהוה, for He has heard
your grumblings.’ ” (Exodus 16:10) And it came
to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl that
they looked toward the wilderness and see, the esteem of יהוה appeared in the cloud. (Exodus
16:11) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 16:12) “I have
heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak to them, saying,
‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the morning you are to be
satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ” (Exodus 16:13) And it came to
be that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the
dew lay all around the camp. (Exodus 16:14) And the layer of dew went up, and see, on the
surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the
ground. (Exodus 16:15) And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they
said to each other, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. And Mosheh
said to them, “It is the bread which יהוה
has given you to eat. (Exodus 16:16) “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s
need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man
take for those who are in his tent.’ ” (Exodus 16:17)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less. (Exodus 16:18)
And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too
much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered
according to his need. (Exodus 16:19) And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it
until morning.” (Exodus 16:20) And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of
them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was
wroth with them. (Exodus 16:21) And they gathered it every morning, each one
according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted. (Exodus 16:22)
And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much
bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and
told Mosheh. (Exodus 16:23) And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath
set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake,
bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left
over, to keep it until morning.’ ” (Exodus 16:24)
And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink,
and no worm was in it. (Exodus 16:25) And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is
a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not
find it in the field. (Exodus 16:26) “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day,
which is the Sabbath, there is none.” (Exodus 16:27) And it came to be that some of the people
went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. (Exodus 16:28)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse
to guard my commands and My Torot1? Footnote: 1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching. (Exodus 16:29)
“See, because יהוה
has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the
sixth day. Let each one stay in his place; do not let anyone go out of his
place on the seventh day.” (Exodus 16:30) So the people rested on the seventh day1. Footnote:
The seventh day of the week, the weekly Sabbath, was observed before the Ten
Words were given on Mt. Sinai. (Exodus 16:31) And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name
Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin
cakes made with honey. (Exodus 16:32) And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to
keep for your generations, so that they see the bread with which I fed you in
the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exodus 16:33) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot
and put an omer of manna in it, and set it down before יהוה,
to keep for your generations.” (Exodus 16:34) As יהוה
commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before the Witness, to keep. (Exodus 16:35)
And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they came to
an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of the land of
Kenaʽan. (Exodus 16:36) and an omer is
one-tenth of an ĕphah.
We too
will be in the Wilderness- (that He will provide a place for us) (Rev 12:6) and the woman (Comment- the
obedient Bride of Messiah) 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.
(Exodus 17:1)
And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl set out on their
journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of יהוה, and camped in Rephiḏim. And there was no water for the people
to drink. (Exodus 17:2) Therefore the people strove with Mosheh, and
said, “Give us water to drink.” And Mosheh said to them, “Why do you strive
with me? Why do you try יהוה?” (Exodus 17:3)
And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against
Mosheh, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our
children and our livestock with thirst?” (Exodus 17:4) Then Mosheh cried out to יהוה, saying, “What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and
they shall stone me!” (Exodus 17:5) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the
elders of Yisra’ĕl. And take in your hand your rod with which you smote the
river, and go. (Exodus 17:6) “See, I am standing before you there on the
rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it,
and the people shall drink.” And Mosheh did so before the eyes of the elders of
Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 17:7) And he called the name of the place Massah
and Meriḇah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because
they ‘tried’ יהוה, saying, “Is יהוה in our midst or not?” (Exodus 17:8)
And Amalĕq came and fought with Yisra’ĕl in Rephiḏim. (Exodus 17:9)
And Mosheh said to Yehoshua, “Choose for us men and go out, fight with
Amalĕq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill with the rod of
Elohim in my hand.” (Exodus 17:10) And Yehoshua did as Mosheh said to him, to
fight with Amalĕq. And Mosheh, Aharon, and Ḥur went up to the top of the hill.
(Exodus 17:11)
And it came to be, when Mosheh held up his hand, that Yisra’ĕl
prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalĕq prevailed. (Exodus 17:12)
But Mosheh’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under
him, and he sat on it. And Aharon and Ḥur supported his hands, one on one
side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going
down of the sun. (Exodus 17:13) And Yehoshua defeated Amalĕq and his people
with the edge of the sword. (Exodus 17:14) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Write this for a remembrance in the book and recite it in the
hearing of Yehoshua that I shall completely blot out the remembrance of Amalĕq
from under the heavens.” (Exodus 17:15) And Mosheh built an altar and called its
name, יהוה
Nissi, (Exodus 17:16) for he
said, “Because a hand is on the throne of
Yah, יהוה
is to fight against Amalĕq, from generation to generation.”
YHWH
will also humble His enemies for us!
(Judges 4:4)
And Deḇorah, a prophetess, the wife
of Lappiḏoth, was ruling Yisra’ĕl at that time. (Judges
4:5) And she was dwelling under
the palm tree of Deḇorah between Ramah and Bĕyth Ěl in the mountains of
Ephrayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl came up to her for right-ruling. (Judges 4:6)
And she sent and called for Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam from Qeḏesh in
Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not יהוה Elohim of
Yisra’ĕl commanded, ‘Go, and you shall draw towards Mount Taḇor, and shall
take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of
Zeḇulun, (Judges 4:7) and I shall draw unto
you Sisera, the commander of Yaḇin’s army, with his chariots and his company
at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand’?” (Judges 4:8)
And Baraq said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you
do not go with me, I do not go.” (Judges 4:9) And she said, “I shall certainly go with you.
Only, there shall be no esteem for you in the journey you are taking, for יהוה is going to sell Sisera into the hand of a
woman.” So Deḇorah arose and went with Baraq to Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:10)
And Baraq called Zeḇulun and Naphtali to Qeḏesh. And he went up – ten
thousand men under his command – and Deḇorah went up with him. (Judges 4:11)
And Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, of the children of Ḥoḇaḇ the father-in-law
of Mosheh, had separated himself from the Qĕynites and pitched his tent near
the terebinth tree at Tsaʽanayim, which is beside Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:12)
And they reported to Sisera that Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam had gone up to
Mount Taḇor. (Judges 4:13) So Sisera called all his chariots, nine
hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Ḥarosheth
Haggoyim to the wadi Qishon. (Judges 4:14) And Deḇorah said to Baraq, “Rise up! For
this is the day in which יהוה has given Sisera into
your hand. Has not יהוה gone out before you?”
And Baraq went down from Mount Taḇor with ten thousand men after him. (Judges 4:15)
And יהוה destroyed Sisera and all his chariots and
all his army with the edge of the sword before Baraq. And Sisera leaped from
his chariot and fled away on foot. (Judges 4:16) But Baraq pursued the chariots and the army
as far as Ḥarosheth Haggoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of
the sword, not one was left. (Judges 4:17) Sisera, meanwhile, had fled on foot to the
tent of Yaʽĕl; the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, for there was peace between
Yaḇin sovereign of Ḥatsor and the house of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite. (Judges 4:18)
And Yaʽĕl went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn aside, my
master, turn aside to me, do not fear.” So he turned aside with her into the
tent, and she covered him with a blanket. (Judges
4:19) And he said to her, “Please
give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a bottle of
milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him. (Judges
4:20) And he said to her, “Stand
at the door of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and asks you, and
says, ‘Is there a man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’ ” (Judges
4:21) But Yaʽĕl, Ḥeḇer’s wife,
took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove
the peg into the side of his head, and it went down into the ground – for he
was fast asleep and exhausted – and he died. (Judges
4:22) And see, as Baraq pursued
Sisera, Yaʽĕl came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, let me show you the
man whom you are seeking.” And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera,
dead with the peg in the side of his head. (Judges
4:23) And on that day Elohim humbled Yaḇin
sovereign of Kenaʽan in the presence of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 4:24)
And the hand of the children of Yisra’ĕl grew stronger and stronger
against Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan, until they had cut off Yaḇin sovereign of
Kenaʽan.
Great
and Mighty is our Elohim who made all that IS- seen and unseen!
(Judges 5:1)
And on that day Deḇorah and Baraq son of
Aḇinoʽam sang, saying, (Judges 5:2) “For
leaders leading in Yisra’ĕl, for the people volunteering, bless יהוה! (Judges 5:3) “Hear O sovereigns! Give ear, O princes! I, I
do sing to יהוה; I sing praise to יהוה
Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:4) “יהוה,
when you went out from Sĕʽir, when you stepped from the field of Eḏom, the
earth shook and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water. (Judges 5:5)
“The mountains flowed at the presence of יהוה,
this Sinai, at the presence of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:6)
“In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Yaʽĕl, the
highways were deserted, and the travellers went in crooked ways. (Judges 5:7)
“Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a
mother in Yisra’ĕl arose. (Judges 5:8) “They chose new mighty ones, and then
fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty
thousand in Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:9) “My heart is towards the lawgivers of
Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless יהוה!
(Judges 5:10)
“You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets and you who
walk along the way, declare it! (Judges 5:11) “By the voice of shouters, between the places
of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of יהוה, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the
people of יהוה shall go down to the gates. (Judges 5:12)
“Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, and sing a song! Arise,
Baraq, and lead your captive’s away, O son of Aḇinoʽam! (Judges 5:13)
“Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; יהוה
came down for me against the mighty ones. (Judges
5:14) “Out of Ephrayim their root
is against Amalĕq. After you, Binyamin, with your peoples, out of Maḵir
lawgivers came down, and out of Zeḇulun those who handle the scribe’s reed. (Judges 5:15)
“And the heads of Yissasḵar were with Deḇorah. And as Yissasḵar, so
was Baraq sent into the valley under his command. Among the divisions of
Re’uḇĕn there were great searchings of heart. (Judges
5:16) “Why did you remain among
the sheepfolds, to hear the bleating’s of the flocks? The divisions of Re’uḇĕn
have great searching’s of heart. (Judges 5:17) “Gilʽaḏ remained beyond the Yardĕn, and why
did Dan remain on ships? Ashĕr continued at the seashore, and remained by its
landing places. (Judges 5:18) “Zeḇulun is a people who risked their lives
to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the field. (Judges 5:19)
“Sovereigns came, they fought, then the sovereigns of Kenaʽan fought in
Taʽanaḵ, by the waters of Meḡiddo; they took no spoils of silver. (Judges 5:20)
“From the heavens they fought; the stars from their courses fought
against Sisera. (Judges 5:21) “The wadi of Qishon swept them away, that
age-old wadi, the wadi of Qishon. O my being, you have trampled in strength! (Judges 5:22)
“Then stamped hoofs of horses, with the galloping, galloping of his
steeds. (Judges 5:23) ‘Curse Mĕroz,’ said a messenger of יהוה, ‘curse, curse its inhabitants, because
they did not come to the help of יהוה,
to the help of יהוה among the mighty.’ (Judges 5:24)
“Blessed above women is Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite – above
women in tents she is blessed. (Judges 5:25) “He asked for water, she gave milk; she
brought out curdled milk in a bowl for nobles. (Judges
5:26) “She stretched her hand to
the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. Then she pounded Sisera,
she smashed his head, she pierced and struck through the side of his head. (Judges 5:27)
“Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he
bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell – destroyed. (Judges 5:28)
“Through the window the mother of Sisera looked, and cried out through
the lattice, ‘Why does his chariot delay to come? Why have the steps of his
chariots tarried?’ (Judges 5:29) “The wise ones of her princesses answered
her, indeed, she answered herself, (Judges 5:30) ‘Do they not find and divide the spoil: a
girl or two for each man; a spoil of dyed work for Sisera, a spoil of dyed work
embroidered, dyed work richly embroidered for the necks of the looter?’ (Judges 5:31) “So do all your
enemies perish O יהוה! But let those who love Him be like the sun rising in its
might!” And the land had rest forty years.
The
Bread of Life was/is given for you and me! He will raise us up
on the Last Day!
(John 6:22)
On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the
sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His
taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not
entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone – (John 6:23) but other boats came from Kinnereth, near
the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks – (John 6:24)
therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע
was not there, nor His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats
and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע.
(John 6:25)
And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him,
“Rabbi, when did you come here?” (John 6:26) יהושע
answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because
you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied. (John 6:27)
“Do not labor for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is
remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam
shall give you, 1 for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on
Him.” Footnote: 1See vv. 35, 48, 51, 58, and
Mt. 4:4. (John 6:28) So they said to Him, “What should we do to
work the works of Elohim?” (John 6:29) יהושע
answered and said to them, “This is the
work of Elohim that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:30) So they said to Him, “What sign then would you
do, so that we see and believe you? What would you do? (John
6:31) “Our fathers ate the manna
in the wilderness, as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread out of the
heaven to eat.’ ” (John 6:32) Therefore יהושע said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Mosheh did not give
you the bread out of the heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of
the heaven. (John 6:33) “The bread of Elohim is He who comes down out of the heaven
and gives life to the world.” (John 6:34) So they said to Him, “Master, give us this
bread always.” (John 6:35) And יהושע said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall
not get hungry at all, and he who believes in me shall not get thirsty at all.
(John 6:36)
“But I
said to you that you have seen me, and still do not believe. (John 6:37) “All that the
Father gives me shall come to me, and the one who comes to me I shall by no
means cast out. (John 6:38) “Because I have come down out of the heaven; not to do my own
desire, but the desire of Him who sent me. (John
6:39) “This is the desire of the Father who sent me,
that all He has given me I should not lose of it, but should raise it in the last day.
(John 6:40)
“And this
is the desire of Him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes
in Him should possess everlasting life. And I shall raise him up in the last day.”
Loved Ones- thank you for your wonderful throne reaching
prayers- we are traveling and frankly there is much spiritual warfare and
attacks- but your prayers are overcoming the darkness for Billie and me! Thank
YOU! Let’s build up our most set apart trust and faith by continually (without
ceasing prayer) praying in the Spirit because our Deliverer is coming and He
has not forsaken us!
Shalom to your home,
Thurston

explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which
sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab
the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s
look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to
seek יהוה of hosts in
Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’
(Zechariah 8:23) “Thus said יהוה
of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES
and in the future also!) Ten men
(10 scattered northern tribes called
Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
