Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
Click here for the Book of Jasher and Click here for the Book of Enoch.
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 are we on a different
schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is
about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s
study…

King!
Heart to Heart Time with YHWH Truth Searcher- As in the Days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of
Yahushua (Yahshua, Yeshua, Jesus)… (Mat 24:37)
“And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
Seems the governments of the Earth and the elite
rulers who control the money strings of these governments have been preparing
for many years for their continuity and survival from some impending event,
along with Agenda 21 and the depopulation of 90% of the earth’s inhabitants.
The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry has just manipulated both Israel and
Palestinians back to peace talks. Our role on this DIVIDING
THE LAND FOR PEACE will allow for our country’s destruction; as
I have mentioned often- this will bring swift division of lands for those
countries that play a role in this division of Israel.
(Joel 3:1) “For look, in those days and at
that time, when I turn back the captivity of Yehuḏah
and Yerushalayim, (Joel 3:2) then I shall
gather all gentiles, and bring them down to the Valley of Yehoshaphat. And I
shall enter into judgment with them there for my people, my inheritance
Yisra’ĕl, whom they have scattered among the gentiles, and they have divided up my land.
(Joel 3:3)
“And they have cast lots for my people, and have given a young man for a
whore, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it. (Joel
3:4) “And also, what are you to me,
O Tsor and Tsiḏon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Are you repaying me? And
if you are repaying me, I would swiftly and speedily return your reward on your
own head.
We should be sober and alert and about our Father’s
business- but this DOES NOT MEAN we are to remain ignorant of hasatan’s plans
and schemes against us. Remember with me that our enemy is the master of lies
and disinformation, Fear and ignorance are not our friends. If fear comes
upon us, then we need to spend some time praying, fasting, worshiping and reading
the Word of Life (Torah and the Renewed Covenant) as He does not give us a
spirit of fear, but a spirit of power (over all the plans of the dragon and his
elite workers); and a spirit of love and a sound mind! He promises to teach us
of things to come and guide us into all truth! Hallelu-Yah!
Consider the Book of Enoch which was removed from
“approved” Scripture by men who were neither spirit filled nor Torah keepers-
yet other Books that were a legitimate part of the Bible such as Yasher
(Jasher) was validated by several authors of the Bible shown below. I would
expect one can glean much from prayerfully reading these as we see Joshua and
Samuel gave them credence.
(Joshua 10:13) So the sun stood still, and the
moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and did not hasten to go down for about
a whole day.
(2 Samuel 1:17)
Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan
his son, (2 Samuel 1:18) and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher: (2 Samuel 1:19) "The beauty of Israel is slain on
your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Enoch 65:1-7
1, 2 and
in those days Noah saw the earth that it had
sunk down and its destruction was nigh. And he arose from thence and
went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to his grandfather Enoch: 3 and
Noah said three times with an embittered voice: Hear me, hear me, and hear me.
And I said unto him: Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that
the earth is in such evil plight 4 and shaken, lest perchance I shall
perish with it? And thereupon there was a great commotion, on the earth, and a
voice was heard from heaven, and I fell on my face. 5 And Enoch my
grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: Why hast thou cried unto me
with a bitter cry and weeping 6 And a command has gone forth from the
presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is
accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all
the violence of the satans, and all their powers −the most secret ones− and all
the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the
power of those who make molten images 7 for the whole earth:
Here’s the whole chapter in the
restored names version: Enoch's
predictions concerning the Deluge (Flood) and himself
65:1 In those
days, Noah saw the earth, that she
had become deformed (Other versions
say turned upside down as literal), and that her destruction was at hand. 65:2
And Noah took off from there and went unto the extreme ends of the earth. And he cried out to his grandfather, Enoch,
and said to him, three times, with a bitter voice, “Hear me! Hear me! Hear me!”
65:3 And I said unto him, “Tell me what this thing is which is being done upon
the earth, for the earth is struggling in this manner and is being shaken;
perhaps I will perish with her in the impact.” 65:4 At that moment, there took
place a tremendous turbulence upon the earth; and a voice from heaven was
heard, and I fell upon my face. 65:5 Then Enoch, my grandfather, came and stood
by me, saying to me, “Why did you cry out so sorrowfully and with bitter
tears?” 65:6 “An order has been issued from the court of YAHWEH against those
who dwell upon the earth, that their doom has arrived because they have
acquired the knowledge of all the secrets of the angels, all the oppressive
deeds of the Satan’s, as well as all their most occult powers, all the powers
of those who practice sorcery, all the powers of those who mix many colors, all
the powers of those who make molten images;” 65:7 “how silver is produced from
the dust of the earth, and how bronze is made upon the earth -” 65:8 “for lead
and tin are produced from the earth like silver -their source is a fountain
inside which stands a malak, and he is a running malak (angel).” 65:9 after
that, my grandfather, Enoch, took hold of me by my hand and raised me up and
said to me, “Go, for I have asked YAHWEH of Hosts regarding this turbulence
which is taking place on the earth.” 65:10 He continued to say to me, “Because
their oppression has been carried out on the earth, their judgment will be
limitless before me. On account of the abstract things which they have
investigated and experienced, the earth shall perish together with those who
dwell upon her.” 65:11 “And those who taught them these things will have no
haven forever, because they have revealed to them the things which are secret
-to the condemned ones; but, as for you, my son, YAHWEH of Hosts knows that you
are pure and kindhearted; you detest the secret things.” 65:12 “He has
preserved your name for the kodesh ones; he will protect you from those who dwell upon the earth; he has preserved
your righteous seed for kingship and great splendor; and from your seed will
emerge a fountain of the righteous and kodesh ones without number forever.”
Power of our Words…
Are we indeed electrical beings created by spoken words (frequencies)? If so, here is a
link for remedies that ail us:

We are created by our Creator and our bodies act as
electrical batteries so to speak. Albert Einstein said everything is energy.
Remember his formula E=mc squared? He believed that energy and matter were
interchangeable. Everything is vibrating energy, including our bodies. Every
word and every thought carries a certain vibrational frequency. A Japanese
scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, proved this when he did an experiment with water.
He found out that water is affected by words. He took water droplets and
exposed them to various words. He froze them for three hours and then examined
the crystal formations under a microscope. The results were totally astounding.
When positive words were spoken over the water, it formed beautiful patterns.
Negative words produced ugly patterns. Since our bodies are approximately 72%
water, we know that our bodies are greatly affected by negative speech. He did
another experiment with rice where he spoke "I love you" to a jar of
rice for 30 days. To another jar of rice, he spoke the words "You
fool." After 30 days, the rice in the "I love you" jar was white
and the rice in the "You fool" jar was black and rotten. (Facts
are taken from Dr. Emoto's book "The Hidden Messages in Water".
Science is validating the Bible. I should say, science is discovering the Bible
is and was correct all along. Proverbs 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the
power of life and death... Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet
to the soul and healing to the bones. Love Has the Highest Frequency of all. It
can be scientifically documented that everything has either positive or
negative frequencies. Foods even have frequencies. Fresh food has a higher
frequency than processed foods. On the other hand, coffee has a negative
frequency. Prayer actually raises a person's frequency by 15 MHz. If our
frequency gets low, we get sick. A healthy body has a frequency between 62-68
MHz. If a person's frequency dips to 58 MHz. cold symptoms develop. Flu
symptoms appear at 57 MHz. Cancer may enter the body when the frequency falls
below 42 MHz. The process of dying begins at 25 MHz. and goes to zero at death.
(Facts are taken from Dr. David Stewart's book "Healing Oils of the
Bible".)
YHWH provided a way to raise our frequencies by using
essential oils. These oils were used Biblically for medicinal purposes. The
oils were not used symbolically as we have come to believe, but these oils had
healing properties. For example, hyssop is a releaser of swallowed emotions and
a spiritual cleanser. Linen also, which is made of hemp, has the highest
frequency of any clothing and was used for the High Priest to come into the
presence of Yahuah. (YHWH- Yahweh etc.) Psalm 51:7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash
me, and I will be whiter than snow. Prayer and essential oils together are a
powerful combination, as both raise our frequencies. James 5:14-15 Is anyone
among you sick? Let them call the elders of the Body of Messiah to pray over
them and anoint them with oil in the name of the YHWH. And the prayer offered in
faith will make the sick person well; the YHWH will raise them up...
In the Torah (Leviticus
14), they were told to anoint those with infectious skin diseases with oil
on their right ear, their right thumb, and right big toe. All of these are
reflex points where trauma is stored and are connected to the brain! When we
store repressed emotions, it can make us sick. Our bodies are made up of 100
trillion cells. So, emotions get locked in our cellular memory. Physical
healing can occur when we clear repressed emotions. For example, if emotions
are stored in your stomach, you have stomach ailments. If they are stored in
the joints, you can have arthritis. Proverbs 14:30 A heart at peace gives life
to the body, but envy rots the bones. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may
prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Change will occur when we get healing for our souls and walk in mature love and
put childish ways behind us. We must speak words of life and not death. Love
has the highest frequency of all. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three
remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Oils of the Bible" and Dr. Emoto's book "The Hidden Messages in
Water." Thanks and acknowledgement to Kari Browning.
We are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices
and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS
of men. (2 Corinthians 10:3) Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight
according to the flesh. (2 Corinthians 10:4) For the weapons we
fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds,
(2 Corinthians 10:5) overthrowing
reasoning and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of
Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the
Messiah, (2Corinthians 10:6) and being ready to
punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.1 Footnote: 1John 3:36. Putting on His armor! (Ephesians 6:10) For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the
Master and in the mightiness of His strength. (Ephesians
6:11) Put
on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand
against the schemes of the devil. (Ephesians 6:12) We do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of
the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the
heavenlies. (Ephesians 6:13) Because of this, take up the complete armor
of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having
done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:14) Stand, then, having girded your waist with
truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Ephesians 6:15) and having fitted your feet with the
preparation of the Good News of peace; (Ephesians
6:16) above all, having taken up the shield of belief (faith-trust) with which you shall have
power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. (Ephesians 6:17)
Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword
of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah. 59:21. (Ephesians 6:18) praying at all times, with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and
supplication for all the set-apart ones; (Ephesians
6:19) also for me, that a word
might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the
secret of the Good News, (Ephesians 6:20) for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it
I might speak boldly, as I should speak. (Ephesians
6:21) Now, in order that you also
might know about me, how I am doing, Tuchikos, a beloved brother and
trustworthy servant in the Master, shall make all matters known to you, (Ephesians 6:22)
whom I did send to you for this same purpose, so that you know about us,
and might encourage your hearts. (Ephesians 6:23) Peace to the brothers, and love, with belief,
(faith-trust) from Elohim the Father
and the Master יהושע Messiah.
Loved One- as a reminder-

And He spoke a parable to them, “Look at the fig tree, and all
the trees. (Rebirth of Israel in
1948) (Luke 21:30) “When they have
already budded, observing it, you shall know for yourselves that summer is now
near. (Luke 21:31) “So you also, when
you see these matters take place, know that the reign of Elohim is near.
(Luke 21:32) “Truly, I say to you,
this generation (Which generation? That sees this rebirth-
and a generation Biblically is often 70 years) shall
by no means pass away till all shall have taken place. (Taking us to 2018? Or earlier in 2017 if we
go by the DECREE DATE (1947)
- Goodness – if that is possible then we could assume much trouble and great
distress 42 Hebrew months or 3 ½ years prior to that time of the LAST TRUMP IN
2017 or 2018- that would mean a possibility of Passover 2014-or 2015 the
anti-messiah being revealed) HMM…
Yahshua is warning His Loved Ones (You
and me) to be sober and alert and about our Fathers Business
(Luke 21:33) “The
heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away.
(Luke 21:34)
“And take
heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and
drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come on you suddenly.
(Luke 21:35) “For it shall come as
a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth. (Luke 21:36) “Watch then at all
times, and pray that you be counted
worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand before
the Son of Aḏam.”
Yahshua
warns us not to be as these; (Matthew 15:7)
“Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you,
saying, (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw
near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is
far from Me. (Matthew 15:9) ‘But in vain do
they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isaiah.
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Kings. 17:19.
As thick darkness covers the people due to satanic
wickedness- our Deliverer will have us shine brighter and brighter as we walk
in His power!
(Isaiah 60:1)
“Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory/anointing) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isaiah
60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:3) “And the gentiles shall come to your light1 and sovereigns to the brightness of
your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah. 60:19, 20,
Rev. 21:23, 24. (Isaiah 60:4) “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of
them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your
daughters are supported on the side. (Isaiah 60:5) “Then you shall see and be bright, and your
heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the
riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isaiah 60:6) “A stream of camels covers your land, the
dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and
incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה.
(Isaiah 60:7)
“All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth
serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed
House.
Here is
a great Scripture to personalize and repeat continually if you want to walk in
His power! (Gal 2:20)
“I have been impaled (Crucified) with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives
in me.1 And that which I now live in the flesh I live by
belief (trust/faith) in the Son of
Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Footnote:
1Rom. 8:10, 2 Corinthians. 6:16, 2 Corinthians. 13:5, Ephesians.
3:17, 1 Corinthians. 1:27, 1 John 4:4.
We do not love our
lives more than our King- so we shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb of
YHWH and the words we speak that agree with of His! (Our testimony)
(Jeremiah 16:19) O יהוה, (Yahweh) my strength and my stronghold
and my refuge, in the day of distress
the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (lies), futility, and there is no value
in them.”1 Footnote: 1 See Ps. 147:19, Isaiah. 2:3, Isaiah.
60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4 (Jeremiah 16:20) Would a
man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21)
“Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to
know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (YHWH- Yahuah, Yahweh)
KJV: (Jeremiah 16:19)
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the Day of Affliction,
(Day of the Lord) 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. (Jeremiah
16:20) Shall a man make gods unto
himself, and they are no gods? (Jeremiah 16:21)
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause
them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (YHWH)
Here is what Yahshua warned us concerning these days
upon us truth searcher; KJV (Matthew
24:21) then shall be great tribulation;
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be. (Matthew 24:22) And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened. Scriptures (Matthew 24:21) “For then there
shall be great distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning
of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1Or great pressure, or great
affliction. (Matthew 24:22) “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for
the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. Here is the
shadow picture we can also expect: (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.
Understanding
our submission of our WORDS AND ACTIONS agreeing with His- form our witness
making us usable witnesses to overcome by His shed blood; therefore worthy and
allowed to continue our witness- that we produce fruit that remains even in
Great Tribulation-
Let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Ki Tisa- “When
you number/elevate”
Exodus
30:1-34:35; 1 Kings 18:1-39; 1 Corinthians 8:4-13
Ark of the Covenant and warning about anointing oil
(Exodus
30:1) “And you shall make an altar to burn incense
on, make it of acacia wood, (Exodus 30:2) a
cubit long and a cubit wide – it is a square – and two cubits high, its horns
of the same. (Exodus 30:3) “And you shall overlay its top, and its sides
all around, and its horns with clean gold. And you shall make for it a molding
of gold all around. (Exodus 30:4) “And make two gold rings for it, under the molding
on both its sides. Make them on its two sides, and they shall be holders for
the poles to lift it with. (Exodus 30:5) “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood,
and overlay them with gold. (Exodus 30:6) “And you shall put it before the veil that is
before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the
Witness, where I am to meet with you. (Exodus 30:7) “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning
by morning. As he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it. (Exodus 30:8)
“And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn
incense on it – continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations. (Exodus 30:9)
“Do not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain
offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. (Exodus
30:10) “And Aharon shall make
atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of
atonement – once a year he makes atonement upon it throughout your generations.
It is most set-apart to יהוה.” (Exodus 30:11)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 30:12) “When you take the census of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, to register them, then each one shall give an atonement
for his life to יהוה, when you register
them, so that there is no plague among them when you register them. (Exodus 30:13)
“Everyone among those who are registered is to give this: half a sheqel
according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, twenty gĕrahs being a sheqel.
The half-sheqel is the contribution to יהוה.
(Exodus 30:14)
“Everyone passing over to be registered, from twenty years old and
above, gives a contribution to יהוה. (Exodus 30:15)
“The rich does not give more and the poor does not give less than half a
sheqel, when you give a contribution to יהוה,
to make atonement for yourselves. (Exodus 30:16) “And you shall take the silver for the
atonement from the children of Yisra’ĕl, and give it for the service of the
Tent of Meeting. And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl for a remembrance
before יהוה, to make atonement for yourselves.” (Exodus 30:17)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 30:18) “And you shall make a basin of bronze,
with its stand also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the
Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it. (Exodus 30:19)
“And Aharon and his sons shall wash from it their hands and their feet. (Exodus 30:20)
“When they go into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near the altar
to attend, to burn an offering made by fire to יהוה,
they wash with water, lest they die. (Exodus 30:21) “And they shall wash their hands and their
feet, lest they die. And it shall be a law forever to them, to him and his seed
throughout their generations.” (Exodus 30:22) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 30:23) “And take for yourself choice spices, five
hundred sheqels of liquid myrrh, and half as much – two hundred and
fifty – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty of sweet-smelling
cane, (Exodus 30:24) and five hundred of
cassia, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, and a hin of olive oil.
(Exodus 30:25)
“And you shall make from these set-apart anointing oil, a compound,
blended, the work of a perfumer. It is set-apart anointing oil. (Exodus 30:26)
“And with it you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting and the ark of the
Witness, (Exodus 30:27) and the table and all
its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, (Exodus 30:28) and the altar of burnt offering with
all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. (Exodus
30:29) “And you shall set them
apart, and they shall be most set-apart. Whatever touches them is to be
set-apart. (Exodus 30:30) “And you shall anoint Aharon and his sons,
and set them apart, to serve as priests to me. (Exodus
30:31) “And speak to the children
of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘This is a set-apart anointing oil to me throughout your
generations. (Exodus 30:32) ‘It shall not be poured on the flesh of a
man, and make no other like it, according to its composition. It is set-apart;
it is set-apart to you. (Exodus 30:33) ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or
whoever puts any of it on a stranger, shall be cut off from his people.’ ” (Exodus 30:34) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take sweet spices, fragrant gum and cinnamon
and galbanam, and clear frankincense with these sweet spices, all in equal
amounts. (Exodus 30:35) “Then you shall make of these incense, a
compound, work of a perfumer, salted, clean, set-apart. (Exodus 30:36) “And you
shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Witness in the
Tent of Meeting where I meet with you; it is most set-apart to you. (Exodus 30:37)
“And the incense which you make, do not make any for yourselves,
according to its composition, it is set-apart to you for יהוה. (Exodus 30:38) “Whoever makes any like it, to smell
it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
Filled with the Ruach HaKodesh to do the work of YHWH- a
necessity! The Shabbat- A SIGN forever of covenant with YHWH!
(Exodus
31:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 31:2)
“See, I have called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the
tribe of Yehuḏah, (Exodus 31:3) and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom,
and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, (Exodus 31:4) to make designs for work in gold, and
in silver, and in bronze, (Exodus 31:5) and in
cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all work. (Exodus 31:6)
“And I, look I have appointed with him Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of
the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of everyone who is
wise-hearted, and they shall make all that I have commanded you: (Exodus 31:7) the Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the
Witness and the lid of atonement that is on it, and all the utensils of the
Tent, (Exodus 31:8) and the table and its
utensils, and the clean gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of
incense, (Exodus 31:9) and the altar of burnt
offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, (Exodus 31:10) and the woven garments, and the
set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons, for
serving as priests, (Exodus 31:11) and the
anointing oil and sweet incense for the Set-apart Place. According to all that
I have commanded you, they are to do.” (Exodus 31:12) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 31:13) “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
saying, ‘My
Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign1 between me
and you throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה,
am setting you apart. Footnote: 1 The
only sign of יהוה setting us apart, the
only sign of the everlasting covenant, is His Sabbaths, one of them being the
seventh day Sabbath. This is repeated in Ezek. 20:12 & 20. (Exodus 31:14)
‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone
who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on
it, that being shall be cut off from among his people. (Exodus
31:15) ‘Six days work is done,
and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יהוה.
Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. (Exodus 31:16)
‘The children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath; to observe the
Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. (Exodus 31:17)
‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. In six
days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the
seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ” (Exodus
31:18) and when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave
Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of
Elohim. (Exodus 32:1) And when the people saw that Mosheh was so
long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aharon,
and said to him, “Arise, make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh,
the man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has
become of him.” (Exodus 32:2) And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden
earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters,
and bring them to me.” (Exodus 32:3) “And all the people took off the golden
earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon. (Exodus 32:4)
And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an
engraving tool, and made a molded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!” (Exodus 32:5)
And Aharon saw and built an altar before it. And Aharon called out and
said, “Tomorrow is a festival to יהוה.” (Exodus 32:6) And they rose early on the next day, and
offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down
to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (Exodus 32:7) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Go, get down! Your people whom you brought out of the land of
Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves. (Exodus 32:8) “They have turned aside quickly out of the
way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have
bowed themselves to it and slaughtered to it, and said, ‘This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!’ (Exodus 32:9)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I have seen this people,
and see, it is a stiff-necked people! (Exodus 32:10) “And now, let me alone, that my wrath might
burn against them and I consume them and I make of you a great nation.” (Exodus 32:11)
But Mosheh pleaded with יהוה his Elohim, and said,
“יהוה, why does your wrath burn against your
people whom you have brought out of the land of Mitsrayim with great power and
with a strong hand? (Exodus 32:12) “Why should the Mitsrites speak, and say,
‘For evil He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them
from the face of the earth’? Turn from the heat of your wrath, and relent from
this evil to your people. (Exodus 32:13) “Remember Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, your
servants, to whom you swore by yourself, and said to them, ‘I increase your
seed like the stars of the heavens. And all this land that I have spoken of I
give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ” (Exodus 32:14) And יהוה
relented from the evil which He said He would do to His people. (Exodus 32:15)
And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in his hand were
the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both their sides, written on
the one and on the other. (Exodus 32:16) And the tablets were the work of Elohim, and
the writing was the writing of Elohim engraved on the tablets. (Exodus 32:17)
And Yehoshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted and he said
to Mosheh, “A noise of battle in the camp!” (Exodus
32:18) But he said, “It is not
the sound of those who shout of might, nor is it the sound of those who cry out
in weakness, but the sound of singing that I hear.” (Exodus
32:19) And it came to be, as soon
as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. And Mosheh’s
displeasure burned, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at
the foot of the mountain. (Exodus 32:20) And he took the calf which they had made, and
burned it in the fire, and ground it into powder, and scattered it on the face
of the water and made the children of Yisra’ĕl drink it. (Exodus 32:21)
And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you that you have
brought so great a sin upon them?” (Exodus 32:22) And Aharon said, “Do not let the displeasure
of my master burn. You know the people that it is in evil. (Exodus 32:23)
“And they said to me, ‘Make us mighty ones who go before us. For this
Mosheh, the man who brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know
what has become of him.’ (Exodus 32:24) “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let
them take it off.’ And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and
this calf came out.” (Exodus 32:25) And Mosheh saw that the people were let
loose, for Aharon had let them loose, to their shame among their enemies. (Exodus 32:26)
And Mosheh stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Who is for יהוה? Come to me.” And all the sons of
Lĕwi gathered themselves to him. (Exodus 32:27) And he said to them, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl: ‘Each one put his
sword on his side, pass over to and fro from gate to gate in the camp, and each
one slay his brother, and each one his friend, and each one his relative.’ ” (Exodus 32:28) and the sons of Lĕwi did according to
the word of Mosheh. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. (Exodus 32:29)
And Mosheh said, “You are ordained for יהוה
today – since each one has been against his son and his brother – so as to
bring upon you a blessing today.” (Exodus 32:30) And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh
said to the people, “You, you have sinned a great sin. And now I am going up to
יהוה – if I might atone for your sin.” (Exodus 32:31)
And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “Oh, these
people have sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves a mighty one of
gold! (Exodus 32:32) “And now, if you would forgive their sin, but
if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.” (Exodus 32:33)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Whoever has sinned
against me, I blot him out of my book. (Exodus 32:34) “And now, go, lead the people to the place of
which I have spoken to you. See, My Messenger goes before you. And in the day
of my visitation I shall visit their sin upon them.” (Exodus
32:35) And יהוה
plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aharon made.
Stiff neck people must turn and obey. HOW? By revelation from the
Father of His glory- His mercy and goodness revealed- as that alone allows us
to trust Him!
(Exodus
33:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Come, go up from here,
you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Mitsrayim, to the
land of which I swore to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, saying, ‘To
your seed I give it.’ (Exodus 33:2) “And I shall send My Messenger before you,
and I shall drive out the Kenaʽanite and the Amorite and the Ḥittite and the
Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite, (Exodus
33:3) to a land flowing with milk and honey. For I do not go up in your
midst because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.” (Exodus 33:4)
And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned, and no one put
on his ornaments. (Exodus 33:5) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. Should I go
up in your midst for one moment I shall consume you. And now, take off your
ornaments, and I shall know what to do to you.’ ” (Exodus
33:6) so the children of Yisra’ĕl took off their ornaments at Mount
Ḥorĕḇ. (Exodus 33:7) And Mosheh took his tent and pitched it
outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of Meeting. And it
came to be that everyone who sought יהוה
went out to the Tent of Meeting which was outside the camp. (Exodus 33:8)
And it came to be, whenever Mosheh went out to the Tent, that all the
people raised, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Mosheh until he
entered the Tent. (Exodus 33:9) And it came to be, when Mosheh entered the
Tent, that the column of cloud descended and stood at the door of the Tent, and
He spoke with Mosheh. (Exodus 33:10) And all the people saw the column of cloud
standing at the Tent door, and all the people rose and bowed themselves, each
one at the door of his tent. (Exodus 33:11) Thus יהוה
spoke to Mosheh face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would
return to the camp, but his servant Yehoshua son of Nun, a young man, did not
leave the Tent. (Exodus 33:12) And Mosheh said to יהוה,
“See, you are saying to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But you have not made known
to me whom you would send with me, though you have said, ‘I know you by name,
and you have also found favor in my eyes.’ (Exodus
33:13) “And now, please, if I
have found favor in your eyes, please show me your way, and let me know you, so
that I find favor in your eyes. And consider that this nation is your people.” (Exodus 33:14)
And He said, “My Presence does go, and I shall give you rest.” (Exodus 33:15)
And he said to Him, “If Your Presence is not going; do not lead us up
from here. (Exodus 33:16) “For how then shall it be known that I have
found favor in your eyes, I and your people, except you go with us? Then we
shall be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are upon the
face of the earth.” (Exodus 33:17) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have found
favor in my eyes, and I know you by name.” (Exodus
33:18) Then he said, “Please,
show me your esteem (glory).” (Exodus 33:19)
And He said, “I shall cause all my goodness to pass before you, and I
shall proclaim the Name of יהוה before you. And I
shall favor him whom I favor, and shall have compassion on him whom I have
compassion.” (Exodus 33:20) But He said, “You are unable to see my face,
for no man does see me and live.” (Exodus 33:21) And יהוה
said, “See, there is a place with me! And you shall stand on the rock. (Exodus 33:22)
“And it shall be, while my esteem (glory) passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock
and cover you with my hand while I pass by. (Exodus
33:23) “Then I shall take away my
hand and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
YHWH Revealing His nature and the Glory of YHWH was
transferrable to Moses as his face shone-
(Exodus
34:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Cut two tablets of stone
like the first ones, and I shall write on these tablets the Words that were on
the first tablets which you broke. (Exodus 34:2) “And be ready in the morning. Then you shall
come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to me there on the
top of the mountain. (Exodus 34:3) “And let no man come up with you, and let no
man be seen in the entire mountain, and let not even the flock or the herd feed
in front of that mountain.” (Exodus 34:4) And he cut two tablets of stone like the
first ones. Then Mosheh rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as יהוה had commanded him, and he took two tablets
of stone in his hand. (Exodus 34:5) And יהוה came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed
the Name, יהוה. (Exodus 34:6) And יהוה passed before him and proclaimed, “יהוה, יהוה, an Ěl compassionate and showing favor,
patient, and great in kindness and truth, (Exodus
34:7) watching over kindness for thousands, forgiving crookedness and
transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished
1, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children
and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Footnote: 1 This is confirmed in Num. 14:18, and
in Jer. 30:11. (Exodus 34:8) And Mosheh hurried and bowed himself toward
the earth, and did obeisance, (Exodus 34:9) and
said, “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O יהוה,
I pray, let יהוה go on in our midst,
even though we are a stiff-necked people. And forgive our crookedness and our
sin, and take us as your inheritance.” (Exodus 34:10) And He said, “See, I am making a covenant.
Before all your people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in
all the earth, nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall
see the work of יהוה. For what I am doing
with you is awesome. (Exodus 34:11) “Guard what I command you today. See, I am
driving out from before you the Amorite and the Kenaʽanite and the Ḥittite and
the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite. (Exodus
34:12) “Guard yourself, lest you
make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it
be a snare in your midst. (Exodus 34:13) “But break down their altars, and smash their
pillars, and cut down their Ashĕrim
(Easters)–
(Exodus 34:14) for you do not bow yourselves to
another mighty one, for יהוה, whose Name is
jealous, is a jealous Ěl – (Exodus 34:15) lest
you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they whore after
their mighty ones, and slaughter to their mighty ones, and one of them invites
you and you eat of his slaughterings, (Exodus 34:16)
and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters whore after
their mighty ones, and make your sons whore after their mighty ones. (Exodus 34:17)
“Do not make a molded mighty one for yourselves. (Exodus 34:18) “Guard the
Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I
commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Aḇiḇ, because in the
month of Aḇiḇ you came out from Mitsrayim. (Exodus
34:19) “Everyone opening the womb
is mine, and every male first-born among your livestock, whether bull or sheep.
(Exodus 34:20)
“But the first-born of a donkey you ransom with a lamb. And if you do
not ransom, then you shall break his neck. Every first-born of your sons you
shall ransom. And they shall not appear before me empty-handed. (Exodus 34:21)
“Six days you work, but on the seventh
day you rest – in plowing time and in harvest you rest. (Exodus 34:22)
“And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-fruits of
wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. (Exodus 34:23)
“Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, (Exodus 34:24)
for I dispossess nations before you, and shall enlarge your borders, and
let no one covet your land when you go up to appear before יהוה your Elohim three times in the year. (Exodus
34:25) “Do not offer the blood of
my slaughtering with leaven, and do not let the slaughtering of the Festival of
the Passover remain until morning. (Exodus 34:26) “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your
land to the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not
cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” (Exodus
34:27) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Write these Words, for according to the mouth of these Words I
have made a covenant with you and with Yisra’ĕl.” (Exodus
34:28) And he was there with יהוה forty days and forty nights. He did not
eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the Words of
the covenant, the Ten Words. (Exodus 34:29) And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from
Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he
came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face
shone since he had spoken with Him. (Exodus 34:30) And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl
looked at Mosheh and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to
come near him. (Exodus 34:31) But Mosheh called out to them, and Aharon and
all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and Mosheh spoke to them. (Exodus 34:32)
And afterward all the children of Yisra’ĕl came near, and he commanded
them all that יהוה had spoken with him
on Mount Sinai. (Exodus 34:33) And when Mosheh ended speaking with them, he
put a veil on his face. (Exodus 34:34) But whenever Mosheh went in before יהוה to speak with Him, he would remove the
veil until he came out. And when he came out he spoke to the children of
Yisra’ĕl what he had been commanded, (Exodus 34:35) and the children of Yisra’ĕl would see the
face of Mosheh, that the skin of Mosheh’s face
shone, and Mosheh would put the veil on his face again, until he
went in to speak with Him.
Proof – who is the Great and Mighty Living Elohim?
(1Kings
18:1) And after many days it came to be that the
word of יהוה came to
Ěliyahu, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Aḥaḇ, and I give
rain on the earth.” (1Kings 18:2) Thereupon Ěliyahu went to present himself to
Aḥaḇ. And the scarcity of food in Shomeron was severe. (1Kings 18:3)
And Aḥaḇ had called Oḇaḏyahu, who was over his house. Now Oḇaḏyahu
feared יהוה exceedingly. (1Kings
18:4) And it came to be, while
Izeḇel cut down the prophets of יהוה,
that Oḇaḏyahu had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a
cave, and had fed them with bread and water. (1Kings
18:5) And Aḥaḇ had said to
Oḇaḏyahu, “Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the wadis,
it could be that we find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, and not have
any livestock cut off. (1Kings 18:6) And they divided the land between them to
pass over it, Aḥaḇ went one way by himself, and Oḇaḏyahu went another way
by himself. (1Kings 18:7) And as Oḇaḏyahu was on his way, then see,
Ěliyahu met him. And he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is
that you, my master Ěliyahu?” (1Kings 18:8) And he answered him, “It is I. Go; say to
your master, ‘Ěliyahu is here.’ ” (1Kings 18:9)
and he said, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the
hand of Aḥaḇ, to kill me? (1Kings 18:10) “As יהוה
your Elohim lives, there is no nation or reign where my master has not sent to
look for you. And when they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the reign or nation
swear that they could not find you. (1Kings 18:11) “And now you say, ‘Go; say to your master,
“Ěliyahu is here” ’! (1Kings 18:12) “And it shall be, as soon as I am gone from you
that the Spirit of יהוה takes you away to a
place I do not know. And I shall come to report to Aḥaḇ, and when he does not
find you, he shall kill me. But I your servant have feared יהוה from my youth. (1Kings 18:13) “Was it not reported to my master what I did
when Izeḇel slew the prophets of יהוה,
how I hid one hundred men of the prophets of יהוה,
fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water? (1Kings
18:14) “And now you say, ‘Go; say
to your master, “Ěliyahu is here!” ’ Then he shall slay me.” (1Kings 18:15)
And Ěliyahu said, “As יהוה of hosts lives,
before whom I stand, I shall indeed show myself to him today.” (1Kings 18:16)
Oḇaḏyahu then went to meet Aḥaḇ and informed him, and Aḥaḇ went to
meet Ěliyahu. (1Kings 18:17) And it came to be, when Aḥaḇ saw Ěliyahu,
that Aḥaḇ said to him, “Is that you, O disturber of Yisra’ĕl?” (1Kings 18:18)
And he answered, “I have not disturbed Yisra’ĕl, but you and your
father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commands of יהוה, and you have followed the Baʽals. (1Kings
18:19) “And now, send and gather
all Yisra’ĕl to me on Mount Karmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of
Baʽal, and the four hundred prophets of Ashĕrah (Easter), who eat at Izeḇel’s table.” (1Kings
18:20) Aḥaḇ then sent for all
the children of Yisra’ĕl, and gathered the prophets on Mount Karmel. (1Kings 18:21)
And Ěliyahu came to all the people, and said, “How long would you keep
hopping between two opinions? If יהוה
is Elohim, follow Him; and if Baʽal, follow him.” But the people answered him
not a word. (1Kings 18:22) And Ěliyahu said to the people, “I alone am
left a prophet of יהוה, but the prophets of
Baʽal are four hundred and fifty men. (1Kings 18:23) “Now let them give us two bulls. And let them
choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood,
but set no fire. And I, I prepare the other bull, and shall lay it on the wood,
but set no fire. (1Kings 18:24) “And you shall call on the name of your
mighty one, and I, I call on the Name of יהוה.
And the Elohim who answers by fire, He is Elohim.” So all the people answered
and said, “The word is good.” (1Kings 18:25) And Ěliyahu said to the prophets of Baʽal,
“Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many. And
call on the name of your mighty one, but set no fire.” (1Kings
18:26) So they took the bull
which was given them, and prepared it, and called on the name of Baʽal from
morning even until noon, saying, “O Baʽal, answer us!” But there was no voice
and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they had made. (1Kings 18:27)
And it came to be at noon, that Ěliyahu taunted them and said, “Cry
aloud, for he is a mighty one; he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a
journey, or it could be that he is asleep and has to be awakened!” (1Kings 18:28)
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, according to their ruling,
with knives and spears, until the blood gushed out on them. (1Kings 18:29)
And it came to be when midday was past that they prophesied until the
time of bringing the evening offering. But there was no voice and no one
answered, and no one paying attention. (1Kings 18:30) Then Ěliyahu said to all the people, “Come
closer to me.” And all the people came closer to him. And he repaired the altar
of יהוה that was broken down. (1Kings 18:31)
And Ěliyahu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of
the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, to whom the word of יהוה
had come, saying, “Yisra’ĕl is your name.” (1Kings
18:32) And with the stones he
built an altar in the Name of יהוה. And he made a trench
around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed. (1Kings 18:33)
And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the
wood, and said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering
and on the wood.” (1Kings 18:34) Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they
did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a
third time. (1Kings 18:35) And the water flowed around the altar, and he
filled the trench with water too. (1Kings 18:36) And it came to be, at the time of bringing
the evening offering, that Ěliyahu the prophet came near and said, “יהוה Elohim of
Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, let it be known today: You are Elohim in
Yisra’ĕl, and I Your servant, have done all these matters by Your word. (1Kings 18:37)
“Answer me, O יהוה, answer me, and let
this people know that you are יהוה Elohim, and you shall
turn their hearts back to You again.” (1Kings 18:38) Then the fire of יהוה
fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust,
and it licked up the water that was in the trench. (1Kings
18:39) And all the people saw,
and fell on their faces, and said, “יהוה,
He is the Elohim! יהוה, He is the Elohim!”
Remember- not what we define as food- is food but what
YHWH calls food IS food! (All our praying will not “sanctify” anything against
His words! From the Scripture all things are sanctified by the WORD (His WORD)
and prayer!)
(1
Corinthians 8:4) So then, concerning the eating of food
offered to idols, we know that an idol is no matter at all in the world,
and that there is no other Elohim but one. (1
Corinthians 8:5) For even if
there are so-called mighty ones, whether in heaven or on earth – as there are
many mighty ones and many masters – (1 Corinthians
8:6) for us there is one Elohim, 1
the Father, from whom all came and for whom we live, and one Master יהושע Messiah,
through whom all came and through whom we live. Footnote:
1 Ephesians. 4:6, 1 Tim. 2:5, Mk. 12:32, 34. (1 Corinthians 8:7)
However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being aware of the idol,
until now eat it as having been offered to an idol, so their conscience, being
weak, is defiled. (1 Corinthians 8:8) But food does not commend us to Elohim, for
we are none the better if we eat, nor any worse for not eating. (1 Corinthians 8:9)
But look to it, lest somehow this right of yours become a
stumbling-block to those who are weak. (1 Corinthians
8:10) For if anyone sees you who
have knowledge eating in an idol’s place, shall not his conscience, if he is
weak, be built up to eat food offered to idols? (1
Corinthians 8:11) So this weak
brother, for whom Messiah died, shall perish through your knowledge! (1 Corinthians 8:12)
Now sinning in this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak
conscience, you sin against Messiah. (1 Corinthians
8:13) Therefore, if food makes my
brother stumble, I am never again going to eat meat, lest I make my brother
stumble.
Our
prayer for you and us remains Loved One- that we put on daily the full armor of Elohim and have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahweh
and with our wisdom- gain understanding. That we have the courage to OBEY what
He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he
directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to
produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware
of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we
flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the
words of our testimony- and hear Him say- “Well done –
good and faith filled servant- enter into my joy!” Thanks again for your
wonderful throne reaching prayers for Billie and me- they are cherished!

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