2013 Season of our Rejoicing! TONIGHT = LAST
GREAT DAY 2013- Hallelu-YAH!
Shabbat Shalom
Loved One! (This study is
attached and available at the website below)
This study is
attached for ease of print and study format- YHWH is restoring all things;
that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All
who KNOW HIM and call on His name will be delivered- HalleluYAH!

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 continued
at end of this week’s study-
We are at the Feast of Tabernacles in Texas and among the
family of believers here. We have met some wonderful folks here who have lived
in Israel for many years and one lady has 4-5 Doctorates and is also teaching
us (Especially Billie) some Hebrew! What FUN! Today is the last day of
Tabernacles and at sundown tonight (Shabbat) starts THE LAST GREAT DAY until Sunday
at sundown. This was when Yahshua was circumcised and I expect the wedding
supper of the Lamb!
IMPORTANT REMINDER AND CALL TO STAND UP BELIEVER AND BE COUNTED NOW! (Or soon be among the “counted” in the FEMA and
death camps worldwide)
We must guard
our tongues and speak forth Yahweh’s plans
for the former and latter rain to come forth before the judgment which will
happen soon enough without us allowing hasatan’s plans of wickedness before the
appointed time!
(Mat 12:33) “Either make the
tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit
rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. (Mat
12:34) “Brood of vipers! How are you able to speak
what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the
heart. (Mat
12:35) “The good man brings forth what is good from
the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked
from the wicked treasure. (Mat 12:36) “And I say to you that for every idle (careless) word men speak, they shall give an
account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Mat 12:37) “For by your
words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be
declared unrighteous.”
Loved One, no fear
mongering here but an urgent need for prayer, fasting, and decree. I sense in
the spirit realm and now even showing signs everywhere now in the natural
realm- (386,000
Russian special forces in the DC FEMA 3 Area- CHINESE Troops apparently
training just South of Laredo Texas in Mexico, foreign troops training for gun
confiscations and learning English with millions of rations sent to DC area and
Austin Texas by OCTOBER 1, announcements by the current Administration to CRASH
the DOLLAR, and on and on goes the dark matters are uncovered and in the light
for all to see) a plan of wickedness as hasatan’s desire is to throw
the world into famine and murder via a crash of the world’s economies financial
system and the unleashing of WW III. This AGENDA 21 is
not Yahweh’s plan, but will indeed manifest it’s ugly head soon IF we don’t
stand up and prophesy (speak)
to these matters and establish what Yahweh wants. We MUST ARISE, awaken from
our sleep, shine and DECREE YAHUAH’S (God,
Yahweh) PLANS ON THESE MATTERS!
Yahweh’s people must stop agreeing with Hell’s plans just because we “SEE”
them. We must speak agreement with Yahweh. DECREE A MATTER! We are required to walk by faith (Trust in Him) and not by sight! We are
not allowed to speak facts only and what we “see”- we speak agreement with the
2 spies that were allowed to enter the Promise Land (promises) because they agreed with their SPOKEN WORDS with Yahweh!
WE
MUST SPEAK AND DECREE YAHWEH’S PLAN-
Loved One- we still need to awaken in sobriety and
take stock of what is happening around the world. Freedom is only given and
retained by those who remain dependent (Obedient) on and to YHWH Almighty. The
watchmen seem to be sounding their trumpets around the world to wake up
the Body of Messiah, but much of His body is sound asleep and despises the
watchmen; so our question should be, once again- are we also asleep? We really must guard our tongues and speak forth
Yahweh’s plans for the former and latter rain to come forth before the judgment
which will happen soon enough without us allowing hasatan’s plans of wickedness
before the appointed time!
Should we not be praying for a divine encounter
for Yahushua meeting our President? What was Sha’ul doing- but killing
believers? Just one word, one encounter; and Yah’s blinding light would remove
all of the demonic imps (and plans) forever. I think our prayers must be
targeted and diligent for this encounter to take place…and we will soon hear something
like this…
(Act 9:1) But
Sha’ul, still breathing threats and murder against the taught ones of the
Master, having come to the high priest, (Act 9:2) asked from him letters to the congregations
of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women,
to bring them bound to Yerushalayim. (Act 9:3) And it came to be, that as he journeyed, he
came near Damascus, and suddenly a light flashed around him from the heaven. (Act 9:4) And he fell to
the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Sha’ul, Sha’ul, why do you
persecute me?”
(Act 9:5) And
he said, “Who are You, Master?” And the Master said, “I am יהושע, whom you persecute. It is hard
for you to kick against the prods.” (Act 9:6) Both
trembling, and being astonished,
he said, “Master, what do you wish me to do?” And the Master said to
him, “Arise and go into the city, and you shall be told what you have to do.” (Act 9:7) And
the men journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but
seeing no one. (Act 9:8) And Sha’ul arose from the ground, but when
his eyes were opened he saw no one. And leading him by the hand they brought
him into Damascus. (Act 9:9) And he was three days without sight, and did
not eat nor drink. (Act 9:10) And there was at Damascus a certain taught
one, by name Ḥananyah. 1 and the
Master said unto him in a vision, “Ḥananyah!” And he said, “Here I am,
Master.” Footnote: 1 See 22:12. (Act 9:11) And
the Master said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and seek in
the house of Yehuḏah for one called Sha’ul of Tarsos, for look, he is praying, (Act 9:12) and has seen in a vision a man named Ḥananyah coming in
and laying his hand on him, so as to see again.” (Act 9:13) And Ḥananyah answered, “Master, I have heard
from many about this man, how many evils he did to your set-apart ones in
Yerushalayim, (Act 9:14) and here he has
authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
URGENT
REMINDER! We need to pray and
DECREE THIS MATTER (Giving Thanks as though we have
the thing asked for) for the World’s
leaders (especially President Obama) to have a Damascus Road
encounter with Yahshua the Messiah! This will bless
believers around the world and help/change /bless Obama also! What greater
victory can we have over the forces of darkness just now- CHANGE what we SAY
about these matters! Can these bones live? YES- with our agreement with Heaven!
As I was seeking Father about this and “midrashing”(Contemplating-Selah) with a
brother, who also spoke these very words to me about agreeing with Yahweh-
which you will only know by hearing from Heaven on these matters and that comes
from being in His Presence – usually brought by worship as He inhabits the
praises of His people! See this short video concerning this need to DECREE NOW
(You must enter your email and name to watch this video). We have power to bind and loose and Heaven will
back us up! Click below:

(Act 9:15) But the Master
said to h to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My Name before
nations, sovereigns, and the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Act 9:16) “For I shall show him how much he has to suffer for My
Name.” (Act 9:17) And Ḥananyah went away and went into the
house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Sha’ul, the Master יהושע, who appeared to you on the way as you
came, has sent me, so that you might see again and be filled with the Set-apart
Spirit.” (Act 9:18) And immediately there fell from his eyes, as
it were scales, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was immersed. (Act 9:19) And
having received food, he was strengthened. And Sha’ul was with the taught ones
at Damascus some days. (Act 9:20) And immediately he proclaimed the Messiah in
the congregations, that He is the Son of Elohim.
I believe our united
prayers on this matter will (concerning this man) will change things
drastically- watch this prophetic word concerning this and consider standing
and decreeing this matter with me. Loved One it is a matter of life and death-
especially for your loved ones you are believing for to come into the Family of
Yah…
(Includes Prophetic word about Obama)
REMINDER
AND WORD OF EXTREME CAUTION:
I can also say; whoever rejects the Holy Spirit (Yes, even unknowingly) will also find themselves hopeless! Why do I make such a
bold statement? Many Torah keepers have unknowingly rejected the Holy Spirit
and many Christians have rejected the Torah and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Why do they reject the Holy Spirit? They
are FEARFUL OF THE SUPERNATURAL and afraid of getting a demon. We are not to be
like the Gnostics that fell away from FAITH and the Ruach but trusted in their learning
(form of godliness) and their own
acts of righteousness; but denied the POWER of YAHWEH!
We’ll look together… (2Ti
3:1)
But know this, that in the last days hard times shall come. (2Ti 3:2) For
men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, (2Ti
3:3) unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, (2Ti 3:4)
betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of
Elohim, (2Ti 3:5) having a form of reverence 1 (Godliness/religion) but denying
its power. And turn away from these! Footnote:
1 See v. 13, Isa. 24:5-6, Mt. 24:12, Rom. 1:30-31, 2 Thess. 2:3-11. (2Ti 3:6) For
among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded
down with sins, led away by various lusts, (2Ti 3:7)
always
learning and never able to
come to the knowledge of the truth.
First
Yahushua (Yeshua, Jesus) was filled
with the Holy Spirit
(Mar
1:8) “I indeed did immerse you in water, but He
shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit.” (Mar 1:9) And it came to be in those days that יהושע came from
Natsareth of Galil, and was immersed by Yoḥanan in the Yardĕn. (Mar 1:10) And
immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and
the Spirit coming down on Him like a dove. (Mar 1:11) And a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the
Beloved, in whom I did delight.” (Mar 1:12) And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the
wilderness. (Mar 1:13) And He was there in the wilderness forty days
(fasting and testing by hasatan),
tried by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the messengers (Angels) attended Him. (Mar 1:14) And
after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע
came to Galil, proclaiming the Good News of the reign of Elohim, (Mar 1:15) and saying, “The
time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and
believe in the Good News.”
Then Yahushua spends
the remainder of Chapter One, all of Chapter Two casting out demons and healing
the sick, and we pick up the story in Chapter Three.
(Mar
3:10) For He healed many, so that as many as had
afflictions fell upon Him to touch Him. (Mar 3:11) And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw
Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of Elohim.” (Mar 3:12) But
He warned them many times that they should not make Him known. (Mar 3:13) And
He went up on the mountain and called to Him whom He wished, and they came to
Him. (Mar 3:14)
And He appointed twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to proclaim, (Mar 3:15) and to possess authority to heal
sicknesses and to cast out demons.
Next we see
hasatan’s counter attack and accusing (hasatan
always uses those who are choosing Him as their God and Father). This
attack is always guaranteed as hasatan comes to steal the seed (the Word) that was planted that will
produce fruit that remains. Hasatan is not fearful of you and me; but he is
deathly afraid of Yahushua’s seed (His
word) because it has the power within itself to produce fruit it was sent
for. This is why we must always stand firm in the Word (Yahushua) that we might receive the thing promised, and not agree
with facts or what is seen. What is “seen” (facts)
is/are temporal (temporary) and what
is “unseen” is eternal- Yahushua said, “My words are life and health and healing to all your flesh,”
and “Heaven and
Earth will pass away, but my words will remain forever.” The accusation is that the power
is not from the Holy Spirit but Beelzebub (hasatan). PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ASSIGN THE WORKS OF THE
HOLY SET APART SPIRIT TO DEMONS- THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THIS OFFENSE!
(Mar
3:21) And when His relatives heard about this, they
went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.” (Mar 3:22) And
the scribes who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Beʽelzebul,” and, “He casts out demons by the
ruler of the demons.”
(Mar
3:23) And calling them near He said to them in
parables, “How
is Satan able to cast out Satan? (Mar 3:24) “And if a reign is divided against itself, that reign is
unable to stand. (Mar 3:25) “And if a house is divided against itself, that house is unable
to stand. (Mar 3:26) “And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided,
he is unable to stand, but has an end. (Mar
3:27) “No one is able to enter a strong man’s house
and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall
plunder his house. (Mar 3:28) “Truly, I say to you,
all the sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they
speak, (Mar 3:29) but he who blasphemes
against the Set-apart Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is subject to everlasting
judgment,”
(Mar 3:30)
because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Every year during the Fall Feasts I remember my good
friend Gilbert in Texas and the funny or perhaps very serious T shirt he had
made; on the front side it exclaimed “KEEP
THE FEASTS” whereas on the back it gave reason—Or Be A Feast! Understand
the absolute requirement of showing our allegiance to Him by and through our
LOVING OBEDIENCE to HIS Word! (Rev
19:17)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great Elohim Yahweh; (Rev 19:18)
That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the
flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and
bond, both small and great.
Our understanding for our obedience of
Keeping His commanded Feasts (These have
erroneously been called “Jewish” Feasts- but they are Biblically described as
Feasts of Yahweh; in caps THE LORD) as such; should include such an
understanding as the absolute wrath of Yah on those who say they love Him but
by actions say they “hate” Him. Esau was hated by Yahweh for his lack of
obedience to His ways and his inability or total lack of concern to repent. Our
Creator is serious and upon His first arrival was the lamb of Yahweh sacrifice-
now He is returning as a KING and He will finish the remaining part of the
Scripture He quoted in Isaiah 61: (He had
stopped in mid-sentence which I show in RED- because the first time Messiah
came He was not come to offer vengeance yet)
(Isa 61:1) The Spirit of the Master יהוה is
upon me, because יהוה has anointed me to
bring good news to the meek. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to
proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who
are bound, (Isa 61:2) to proclaim the acceptable year of יהוה, and
the day of vengeance of our Elohim, to comfort all who mourn, (Isa 61:3) to appoint unto those who mourn in Tsiyon:
to give them embellishment for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And they shall be called trees of righteousness,
a planting of יהוה, to be adorned.
One of the first things we learn from the Feast of
Tabernacles is that in camping- PLANNING AHEAD IS EVERYTHING! The BRIDE will
really make herself ready! This is such a beautiful picture of our times in the
wilderness ahead of us (Note that He nourishes us; plans and prepares for us ahead of our needs):
(Rev 12:6) And
the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of Yahweh that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Rev 12:7) And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and
the dragon fought and his angels, (Rev 12:8)
and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (Rev 12:9) And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him. (Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of Yahweh, and the power
of Messiah Yahshua: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our Elohim Yahweh day and night.
(Rev 12:11) And
they (us) overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and
by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Rev 12:12)
Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For
the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he
has but a short time. (Rev 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (Rev 12:14) And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and
half a time from the face of the serpent.
This is the week of The Feast of
Tabernacles started on the evening of Shabbat, September 21st. Every year during the Fall Feasts I remember my good
friend Gilbert in Texas and the T shirt he had made; on the front side it
exclaimed “KEEP THE FEASTS” whereas
on the back it gave reason—Or Be A
Feast! (Rev 19:17) And
I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great Elohim Yahweh; (Rev
19:18) That you may eat the flesh
of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh
of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. It is of great importance that we learn how
important Yahweh considers our humbling ourselves to obey Him really is!
Below we’ll keep this Feast of Tabernacles during the Millennium reign of Yahshua
(Jesus) loved one, so I expect that is a good enough reason for Truth Searchers
like us to start learning obedience in “Keeping the Feasts!” Remember the Hebrew
idiom “The Day that no man knows the day or the hour!” (Feast of Trumpets)
then 15 days later is the Feast of Tabernacles- Season of our Joy!
(Zechariah 14:16) And
it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against
Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign,
יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths (Tabernacles/Sukkot).
(Zechariah 14:17) And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans
of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign (King), יהוה
of hosts, on them there is to be no rain.
How do we know
when the Biblical year starts and when we are to keep His Biblically prescribed
Feast dates loved one? YHWH put the planets and stars in their courses for
seasons days and years. The moon circles the Earth every 29.54 days so we can
only have a 29 day month or a 30 day month- never a 28 or 31 day month like
Pope Gregory determined. So YHWH is in control of what time it is in His
universe! The Biblical NEW YEAR started at sundown Monday April 4! Here is how we determine the real start of the year! (Exodus 12:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land
of Mitsrayim, saying, Exodus 12:2) “This month is the beginning of months
for you; it is the first month of the year for you. (Just before Passover)
Why is that of any importance to
you and me living today? Because many of the body of believers have been
blinded by the enemy of our souls and still follow vain
traditions which are mostly manmade subtractions, additions and traditions of
“Churchianity” handed down from the
anything but a “Holy” Roman Empire ruler Constantine; who was a sun god worshiper and enforced these “man made
doctrines” with the penalty of death for rejection. Please understand we should
know when the year starts so we can observe and do His commanded Holy Days
(Holidays) and not do vain observations that He considers abominations. Many
Christians honor all the TRADITIONAL
holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Lent and never consider their pagan roots
which were orchestrated by Rome. Some know that the day of the sun (Sun-day) was rooted from sun god
worship and Easter was the pagan fertility goddess, where the Easter Priests (Not Christians or follower of Messiah) -
would impregnate the virgins on the sunrise service and sacrifice the 3 month
old babies from the prior years' sunrise service, dipping the eggs
of Easter into the freshly sacrificed babies blood and declare- HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE! Have a prosperous and fertile year! This was their form of Happy New Year! Lent was the 40 days of fasting and weeping
for Tamuz followed by killing the pig that killed Tammuz (on a hunting expedition) and having that for Easter ham- goodness-
Loved Ones-think maybe these traditions are possibly an abomination to our
Creator? He
taught us to NOT LEARN the ways of the heathen and say we are worshiping Him! (Jeremiah 10:2)
Thus said יהוה, “Do not
learn the way of the gentiles, 1
and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by
them.2 Footnotes:
1 Lev. 18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 & 20:32, Eph.
4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2 Dt. 4:19
& 17:3. He also COMMANDED US: (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do
not add to the Word which I command you,
and do not subtract
from it 1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote:
1 See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19. Do you and I suppose he has changed His mind
about that; so we think it okay to ADD these
man made traditions as holy days and festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT
His Feasts and festivals?
Do "we" worship in
VAIN? Maybe we should
consider doing only what He says and not what tradition allows-THESE ARE THE
DAYS OF REPENTANCE- SEEK A FEAST SITE (Internet) AND ATTEND
LOVED ONE- YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY KEEPING THIS APPOINTMENT (MOEDIM) WITH OUR
CREATOR!
Really-
Worship in VAIN? Goodness –
maybe we should really reconsider Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to
mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Loved Ones,
should we worship Him the way He says or obey men and our traditions? Is
obedience to the Word made flesh that dwelled among us really important? Is our own judgment possibly only a heartbeat
away? Do we
really want to nullify all the promises received from obedience- given in the
Word? We should take the time to consider the word “VAIN”.
Mat 15:3 He
answering, said to them, “Why do you
also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of your tradition?
Footnote: 1 See Mat. 5:20. Mat 15:4 “For Elohim has
commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses
father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Mat 15:5 “But you say,
‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received
from me has been dedicated,” Mat 15:6 is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. Mat 15:7 “Hypocrites!
Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, Mat
15:8 ‘This people draw near to me with their
mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Mat 15:9 ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching
as my doctrines- the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Isa.
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
Obedience is LOVE: (John 14:10) “Do you
not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I
speak to you I do not speak from myself. But the Father who stays in me does
His works. (John 14:11) “Believe Me that I am
in the Father and the Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works
themselves. (John 14:12) “Truly, truly, I say
to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And
greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:13) “Whatever you ask in my name, that I shall do, in order that
the Father might be esteemed in the Son. (John
14:14)
“If you ask whatever in my Name, I shall do it. (John 14:15) “If you love me,
you shall guard (keep) my commands.1 Footnote: 1 See
Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:16) “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another
Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17)
the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to
receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He
stays with you and shall be in you. (John
14:18) “I
shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19) “Yet a little while, and the world no longer
sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20) “In that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you in
me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who possesses my commands and guards (keeps) them; it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I
shall love him and manifest myself to him.”
Why is this even important to us today? Because if
we cannot determine when the year starts we cannot observe His commands out of
loving obedience! Then we’d miss the Feast of our Rejoicing- hehe “Missing”
would be tragic because it is WONDERFUL!
Do we realize
that IN THE BEGINNING Yahshua (Jesus) was the word and is the word
even at Mt Sinai? Malachi 4 and Hebrews 13:8 testifies that He changes not and
is the same yesterday, today and forever- what part of “forever” is so
difficult for us to understand? The enemy has planted many tares and blinded
many of us into thinking our religious traditions are acceptable to our King!
However; He claims we are worshipping Him in VAIN! Please let us not use the
excuse that those words have passed away because Yahshua addressed that thought
beforehand and leaves us no excuse when we stand in His presence; (Mat 5:17)
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, (Torah- Instructions) or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat
5:18) For
verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till 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. So; is it ALL fulfilled? What is fulfilled were the Spring Feasts of YHWH; He
was and is the Passover Lamb, He is the High Priest who had to be in
seclusion until the First Fruits Offering and could not be touched
(“Don’t touch me Mary- I have not yet ascended to the Father”) then the graves
opened and many were seen around Jerusalem risen from the dead as He was the
first of many of the First Fruits Offering; then on Shavuot (we now call
Pentecost) He poured out His Spirit that His commands would no longer be
impossible (burdensome) to keep.
These were and are the Spring Feasts he and we start our year with- they are
the shadow picture of things to come.
The Fall Feasts have not yet been fulfilled- we are finally; during our
generation, approaching the Feast of Trumpets and at the LAST TRUMPET,
the dead in Messiah rise first; then 10 days later we have the DAY OF
ATONEMENT or some of us call Judgment Day; then 5 days later we have The Feast
of Tabernacles or Sukkoth when we tabernacle or dwell with Him forever; then on the eighth day of this Feast we have the LAST
GREAT DAY or the WEDDING
FEAST OF THE LAMB. Once again; these Fall Feasts are not
yet fulfilled. So what does Yahshua say about this; are there still a
heaven and an earth? If there is a heaven and earth still we are commanded to: (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, till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till 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.
Remember also
LOVED ONES- WE FEAR NOT! We fast and
repent getting rid of our unbelief and replacing it with TRUSTING HIM! (Psalms 20:5) We sing of your deliverance, and
in the Name of our Elohim we set up a banner! יהוה (YHWH) does fill
all your requests! (Psalms 20:6) Now I know that יהוה (YHWH) shall save
(deliver) His Anointed; He answers
him from His set-apart heavens with the saving might of His right hand. (Psalms 20:7) Some trust
in chariots, and some in horses, but we remember (trust in) the Name of יהוה (YHWH) our Elohim.
(Psalms 20:8)
They, they have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and are
established. (Psalms 20:9) Save us (YHWH)
יהוה! Let the Sovereign answer us in the day
we call.
Here are this week’s
Torah Scriptures: “Tabernacles & Last Great Day!”
Deuteronomy 14:22-16:17; Numbers 29:12-16; 1 Kings
8:54-66
Tithe of your Increase
Deuteronomy 14:22
“You shall tithe without fail all the yield of your grain that the field
brings forth year by year. Deuteronomy 14:23 “And you shall eat before יהוה your Elohim, in the place where He chooses to make His Name
dwell, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and of the
firstlings of your herds and your sheep, so that you learn to fear יהוה your Elohim always. Deuteronomy 14:24 “But when the way is too long for you, so that you are
not able to bring the tithe, or when the place where יהוה
your Elohim chooses to put His Name is too far from you, when יהוה your Elohim is blessing you, Deuteronomy 14:25 then you
shall give it in silver, and shall take the silver in your hand and go to the
place which יהוה your Elohim chooses. Deuteronomy 14:26 “And you shall use the silver for whatever your being
desires: for cattle or sheep, for wine or strong drink, for whatever your being
desires. And you shall eat there before יהוה
your Elohim, and you shall rejoice you and your household. Deuteronomy 14:27 “And do not forsake the Lĕwite who is within your
gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you. Deuteronomy 14:28 “At the end of
every third year you bring out all the tithe of your increase of that year and
store it up within your gates. Deuteronomy 14:29 “And the Lĕwite, because he has no portion
nor inheritance with you, and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow
who are within your gates, shall come and eat and be satisfied, so that יהוה your Elohim does bless you in all the work
of your hand which you do.
Release of Debts- Remember an “evil eye” is stingy ad a good eye is
generous to YHWH!
Deuteronomy 15:1
“At the end of every seven years you make a release of debts. Deuteronomy 15:2
“And this is the word of the release: Every creditor is to release what he has
loaned to his neighbor, he does not require it of his neighbor or his brother,
because it is called the release of יהוה. Deuteronomy 15:3 “Of a foreigner you could require it, but your hand is
to release whatever is owed by your brother. Deuteronomy 15:4 “Only, there should be no poor among you. For יהוה does greatly bless you in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess as an
inheritance, Deuteronomy 15:5 only if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all these
commands which I am commanding you today. Deuteronomy 15:6 “For יהוה your Elohim shall bless you as He promised
you. And you shall lend to many persons, but you
shall not borrow. And you
shall rule over many nations, but they do not rule over you. Deuteronomy 15:7 “When there is a poor man with you, one of your
brothers, within any of the gates in your land which יהוה
your Elohim is giving you, do not harden your heart nor shut your hand from
your poor brother, Deuteronomy 15:8 for you shall
certainly open your hand to him and certainly lend him enough for his need,
whatever he needs. Deuteronomy 15:9 “Be on guard lest there be a thought of
Beliyaʽal in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is
near,’ and your eye is evil against your poor brother and you give him naught.
And he shall cry out to יהוה against you, and it
shall be a sin in you. Deuteronomy 15:10 “You
shall certainly give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give
to him, because for this reason יהוה your Elohim does
bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. Deuteronomy 15:11 “Because the poor one does not cease from the land.
Therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall certainly open your hand to
your brother, to your poor and to your needy one, in your land.’ Deuteronomy 15:12 “When your brother is sold to you, a Heḇrew man or a
Heḇrew woman, and shall serve you six years, then let him go free from you in
the seventh year. Deuteronomy 15:13 “And when
you send him away free from you, let him not go away empty-handed. Deuteronomy 5:14 “You
shall richly supply him from your flock, and from your threshing-floor, and
from your winepress. With that which יהוה
has blessed you with, give to him. Deuteronomy 15:15 “And you
shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה your Elohim redeemed you. Therefore I am
commanding you this word today. Deuteronomy 15:16 “And it shall be, when he says to you, ‘I do
not go away from you,’ because he loves you and your house, because it is good
for him with you, Deuteronomy 15:17 then you shall take an awl and thrust it
through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Do the same
to your female servant. Deuteronomy 15:18 “Let it not be hard in your eyes when you
send him away free from you, for he has been worth a double hired servant in
serving you six years. And יהוה your Elohim shall
bless you in all that you do. Deuteronomy 15:19 “Set
apart to יהוה your Elohim all the first-born males that
come from your herd and your flock. Do no work with the first-born of your
herd, nor shear the first-born of your flock. Deuteronomy 15:20 “You and your household are to eat it before יהוה your Elohim year by year in the place
which יהוה chooses. Deuteronomy 15:21 “But when there is any defect in it, lame or blind, or
has any evil defect, do not slaughter it to יהוה
your Elohim. Deuteronomy 15:22 “Eat it
within your gates – the unclean and the clean alike – as the gazelle, and as
the deer. Deuteronomy “Only, do not eat its blood, pour it on the ground like
water.
(Deuteronomy 16:1)
“Guard the month of Aḇiḇ, and perform the Passover
to יהוה your Elohim, for in the month of Aḇiḇ יהוה your Elohim brought you out of Mitsrayim
by night. (Deuteronomy 16:2) “And you shall slaughter the Passover to יהוה your Elohim, from the flock and the herd,
in the place where יהוה chooses to put His
Name. (Deuteronomy 16:3) “Eat no leavened bread with it. For seven
days you eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction, because you came
out of the land of Mitsrayim in haste – so that you remember the day in which
you came out of the land of Mitsrayim, all the days of your life. (Deuteronomy 16:4)
“And no leaven should be seen with you in your entire border for seven days;
neither should any of the meat which you slaughter in the evening on the
first day stay all night until morning. (Deuteronomy
16:5) “You are not allowed to
slaughter the Passover within any of your gates which יהוה
your Elohim gives you, (Deuteronomy 16:6) but at the place where יהוה
your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell, there you slaughter the Passover in
the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the appointed time you came out
of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy 16:7) “And you shall roast and eat it in the place
which יהוה your Elohim chooses, and in the morning
you shall turn and go to your tents. (Deuteronomy
16:8) “Six days you eat
unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is a closing festival to יהוה your Elohim – you do no work. (Deuteronomy 16:9)
“Count seven weeks for yourself. Begin to count seven weeks from the
time you begin to put the sickle to the grain. (Deuteronomy
16:10) “And you shall perform the
Festival of Weeks to יהוה your Elohim, according
to the voluntary offering from your hand, which you give as יהוה your Elohim blesses you. (Deuteronomy
16:11) “And you shall rejoice
before יהוה your Elohim, you and your son and your daughter,
and your male servant and your female servant, and the Lĕwite who is within
your gates, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are in your
midst, at the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses
to make His Name dwell.
(Deuteronomy 16:12) “And you shall
remember that you were a slave in Mitsrayim, and you shall guard and do these
laws. (Deuteronomy 16:13) “Perform the Festival of Booths for seven days after the in gathering from your threshing-floor and from your wine press, (Deuteronomy 16:14) and you shall rejoice in your festival, you
and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant,
and the Lĕwite, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are
within your gates. (Deuteronomy 16:15) “For seven days you shall observe a festival
to יהוה your Elohim in the place which יהוה chooses, because יהוה
your Elohim does bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your
hands, and you shall be only rejoicing! (Deuteronomy 16:16) “Three times a year all your males appear before
יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses:
at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the
Festival of Booths. And none should appear before יהוה
empty-handed, (Deuteronomy 16:17) but
each one with the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of יהוה your Elohim which He has given you.
Set Apart Gathering
(Numbers 29:12) ‘And on the
fifteenth day of the seventh month you have a set-apart gathering, you do no
servile work. And you shall observe a festival to יהוה seven days, (Numbers 29:13) and you shall
bring near a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה: thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen
lambs a year old, perfect ones they are, (Numbers
29:14) and their grain offering:
fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for each of the
thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams, (Numbers
29:15) and one-tenth for each of
the fourteen lambs, (Numbers 29:16) and one male goat as a sin offering, besides
the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.
(1Ki 8:54) And
it came to be, when Shelomoh had ended praying all this prayer and supplication
to יהוה, that he rose up from before the altar of יהוה, from kneeling on his knees with his hands
spread up to the heavens. (1Ki 8:55) And he stood and blessed all the assembly of
Yisra’ĕl with a loud voice, saying, (1Ki 8:56) “Blessed
be יהוה, who has given rest to His people
Yisra’ĕl, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of
all His good word, which He promised through His servant Mosheh. (1Ki 8:57) “יהוה our Elohim is with us as He was with our
fathers – He does not leave us nor forsake us – (1Ki 8:58) to incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His
ways, and to guard His commands and His laws and His right- rulings, which He
commanded our fathers. (1Ki 8:59) “And let these words of mine, with which I
have made supplication before יהוה, be near יהוה our Elohim day and night, to maintain the
cause of His servant and the cause of His people Yisra’ĕl, the matter of each
day in its day, (1Ki 8:60) so that all the
peoples of the earth might know that יהוה
is Elohim, there is no one else. (1Ki 8:61) “Let your heart therefore be perfect to יהוה our Elohim, to walk in His laws and guard
His commands, as at this day.” (1Ki 8:62) And the sovereign and all Yisra’ĕl with him
made slaughtering before יהוה. (1Ki 8:63) And
Shelomoh brought peace offerings, which he slaughtered to יהוה, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand
sheep. Thus the sovereign and all the children of Yisra’ĕl dedicated the House
of יהוה. (1Ki 8:64) On that day the sovereign set apart the
middle of the courtyard that was in front of the House of יהוה, for there he made burnt offerings, and the grain offerings,
and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before יהוה was too small to contain the burnt
offerings, and the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings. (1Ki 8:65) And
Shelomoh at that time observed the Festival, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, a great
assembly from the entrance of Ḥamath to the wadi of Mitsrayim, before יהוה our Elohim, seven days and seven days –
fourteen days. (1Ki 8:66) On the eighth day he sent the people away.
And they blessed the sovereign, and went to their tents rejoicing and glad of
heart for all the goodness that יהוה had done for His
servant Dawiḏ, and for Yisra’ĕl His people.
I
do hope you are participating in the Feast of YHWH with other Loved Ones- loved
one; in keeping the Feast of Tabernacles or at least the LAST GREAT DAY-
wherever you are- thank you for your prayers for us. Billie and I want you to KNOW
that you are much loved! Hallelu-Yah! May YHWH bless you,
provide for you, shield and protect you- and use you mightily; especially in this-
the Season of Our Rejoicing! You are really much loved. Remember 400 times in
the KJV the word “fear” is used. 331 of those are FEAR NOT! That leaves 69
“fears” left- and many of those pertain to FEAR YHWH! (Who alone can cast you
into hell’s flames for eternity) So FEAR NOT! WE MUST DECREE LIFE AND
OVERCOMING AGAINST THE FORCES OF DARKNESS!
Shalom
to your home- uhhh- Sukkah/Tent- Loved One!

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)
