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-
Remember with me Loved One; (1Jn 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Leviticus 23:26 and יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, Leviticus 23:27 “On the tenth day
of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart
gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:28
“And you do
no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for
you before יהוה
your Elohim. Leviticus 23:29 “For any being who is not
afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 23:30 “And any being who does any work
on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people. Leviticus 23:31 “You do no work – a law forever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Leviticus
23:32 ‘It
is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day
of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
Leviticus 23:33 and יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, Leviticus 23:34 “Speak
to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, on the fifteenth day of this seventh month
is the Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה.
Leviticus 23:35 ‘On the first day is a
set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. Leviticus
23:36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day there shall be a
set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no
servile work. Leviticus
23:37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה
which you proclaim as set-apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire
to יהוה, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a
slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day – Leviticus 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides all
your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to יהוה.
Loved
One, please share
our studies as YHWH is restoring all to Himself- 117 countries have now read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! This is nothing we
have done- Mighty is YHWH who loves
us and restores all things! Thanks again Scott Trimble in
TEXAS for always posting this weekly TORAH BIBLE STUDY (At website above-
shabbatshalomlovedone) and Brian and Kendra Brown, also now back in TEXAS
for starting this site many years ago! These are labors of love for YHWH’s Torah and His people! These
are approaching the “Days of Awe” loved one, starting with the Feast of
Trumpets which was by most reckonings Monday (9-7-2013) at sundown! The 10 (Or seven
by some standards which would fit nicely with the 7 bowls of Yahweh’s wrath
poured out after the Last Feast of TRUMPETS and we are GONE!) Days of Awe are days of repentance leading to repentance,
fasting and The Day of Atonement (Commonly
called Judgment Day by many Christians in regard to the final one) also known
as Yom Kippur will be the 10th day or evening of the 16th of
September counting from IF MY IF MY CALCULATIONS ARE CORRECT- and that is a BIG IF; I am
sorry to admit, so please do your own sighting/counting. Trumpets will start Saturday evening (the 7th
of September) at sundown and go until Sunday at sundown. That makes our fasting day- The Day of Atonement starting on Monday
evening the 16th and all day Sunday the 17th of September and this year’s Feast
of Tabernacles starting on the evening of Saturday September 21st
going 7 days (21st of September and ending the evening of the 27th).
THE LAST GREAT DAY starts that same evening as we end FEAST OF
TABERNACLES- so the SEASON OF REJOICING, the last of our Fall Feasts of YHWH
ends the evening of the 28th of September. This is a picture of our
future when we will look around and shout HalleluYAH’S proclaiming – “We made it into the Kingdom and have
entered His joy!”
Below is 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) Remember; then
that the 15th day (beginning the evening of the 14th day)
is the Feast of Tabernacles- Season of our Joy which we will soon celebrate
as written above!
(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).
(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 Biblically,
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! 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 worshipper and enforced these “manmade
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 Leviticus. 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 manmade traditions as holy days and
festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT His Feasts and festivals?
NO! His Torah (Instructions) and the writings of the
prophets which include His Feasts/Appointments
are the very shadow pictures of what is to come, i.e. the FIRST EXODUS was a shadow
picture of our deliverance coming during the GREAT TRIBULATION- which will be
far greater than the Red Sea crossing and the prior 10 judgments of the false
gods. Now the seals, trumps, and bowls announce the judgments of the false gods
and idols worshiped in our times! Let’s be sure we are not part of the company
that will receive His judgments! If we are righteous by the blood of the Lamb
(HalleluYAH) and are obedient only to YHWH (Not obedient to traditions of man)
but truly showing our love to our Creator- He can and will deliver us – even in
a fiery furnace like Shadrach, Meschak, and Abednego!
(Dan 3:12)
“There are certain Yehuḏim whom you have set over the
work of the province of Baḇel: Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo. These
men, O sovereign, pay no heed to you. They do not serve your Elohim, and they
are not doing obeisance to the gold image which you have set up.” (Dan 3:13)
Then Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar, in rage and wrath, gave orders to bring
Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo. Then they brought these men before the
sovereign. (Dan 3:14) Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar spoke and said to them,
“Is it true, Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, that you do not serve my Elohim,
and you do not do obeisance to the gold image which I have set up? (Dan 3:15)
“Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, the flute,
the zither, the lyre, the harp, the pipes, and all kinds of instruments, and
you fall down and do obeisance to the image which I have made, good! But if you
do not do obeisance, you are immediately thrown into the midst of a burning
furnace of fire. And who is the Eloah who does deliver you from my hands?” (Dan 3:16)
Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo answered and said to the
sovereign, “O Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
(Dan 3:17)
“If so, our Eloah whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning
furnace of fire and from your hand, O sovereign – He does deliver!
(Dan 3:18) “But if not, let it be known to you, O
sovereign, that we do not serve your Elohim, nor do we do obeisance to the gold
image which you have set up.” (Dan 3:19) Then Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar was filled with wrath,
and the expression on his face changed toward Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and
Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo. He responded and gave orders that they heat the furnace seven
times more than it was usual to heat it. (Dan 3:20) And he commanded some of the strongest men of
his army to bind Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, and throw them into the
burning furnace of fire. (Dan 3:21) So these men were bound in their coats, their
trousers, and their turbans, and their other garments, and were thrown into the
midst of the burning furnace of fire. (Dan 3:22) Thereupon, because the sovereign’s order was
urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men
who took up Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo.
(Dan 3:23) And these three men, Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and
Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, fell down bound into the midst of the burning furnace of fire. (Dan 3:24)
Then Sovereign Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar was amazed, and stood up in haste and
spoke and said to his counselors, “Did we not throw three men bound into the
midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the sovereign,
“Certainly, O sovereign.” (Dan 3:25) He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loose,
walking in the midst of the fire. And they are not hurt, and the form of the
fourth is like the Son of Eloah.” (Dan
3:26) Then Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar
went near the mouth of the burning furnace of fire. He spoke and said,
“Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, servants of the Most High Eloah, come
out, and come here.” Then Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo came from the
midst of the fire. (Dan 3:27) And the viceroys, the nobles, and the
governors, and the sovereign’s counselors gathered together, seeing these men on whose bodies the fire had no power,
and the hair of their head was not singed nor was their garments did not change,
nor did the smell of fire come on them. (Dan
3:28) Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar
responded and said, “Blessed be the Eloah of Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, who sent
His Messenger and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and changed the
sovereign’s order, and gave up their bodies, that they should neither serve nor do obeisance
to any Eloah except their own Eloah!
One more time we must question
ourselves; 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! What a great time to
REPENT and start doing His INSTRUCTIONS and BEGIN “KEEPING” HIS APPOINTMENTS!
(Feasts, Moedim, Appointments)
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? Let’s
repeat that; 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!” 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?
Matthew 15:3 He
answering, said to them, “Why do you
also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of your tradition?
Footnote: 1 See Matthew. 5:20. Matthew 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.’
Matthew 15:5 “But you say,
‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received
from me has been dedicated,” Matthew 15:6 is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. 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 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!
Do we realize
that IN THE BEGINNING Yahushua (Yeshua, 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; (Matthew 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. (Matthew
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. (Matthew 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 9 days later (On the 10th from the New Moon) we have the DAY OF
ATONEMENT or some of us call Judgment Day; then 4 days later (On the 15th from the new moon)
we have The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkoth when we tabernacle or dwell
with Him forever (back on the earth);
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 obey His FEASTS, COMMANDS, TORAH, (INSTRUCTIONS): (Matthew 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. (Matthew 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. (Matthew 5:19) Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. Let’s not be “PASTOR OR
TEACHER “LEAST”!) It is NEVER legalism to obey Him; that is called obedience
and brings forth His promised blessings! Legalism is obeying what man has added
and subtracted from His commandments (Most traditions); preferring to obey man legally
rather than YHWH! NOT WISE!
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 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: Tazria “Leprosy-
Conceived”
Leviticus 12:1-13:59; 2
Kings 4:42-5:27; Matthew 8:1-4
Quarantine
for a woman giving childbirth
(Leviticus 12:1) And
יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 12:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a woman has conceived,
and has given birth to a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days, as
in the days of her monthly separation she is unclean. (Leviticus
12:3) ‘And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.
(Comment: only in recent years did modern
medicine discover that vitamin K is released into the male’s blood on the 8th
day from birth which coagulated the blood and allows for safe circumcision)
(Leviticus 12:4) ‘And she remains in the blood of her
cleansing thirty-three days. She does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she
does not come into the set-apart place until the days of her cleansing are
completed. (Leviticus 12:5) ‘But if she gives birth to a female child,
then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her monthly separation, and she
remains in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days. (Leviticus 12:6)
‘And when the days of her cleansing are completed, for a son or for a
daughter, she brings to the priest a lamb a year old, as a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting. (Leviticus 12:7) ‘And he shall bring it before יהוה, and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the
flow of her blood. This is the Torah for her who has given birth to a male or a
female. (Leviticus 12:8) ‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then
she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering
and the other as a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her,
and she shall be clean.’ ” (Leviticus
13:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 13:2) “When
a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it
shall become on the skin of his body like a leprous infection, then he shall be
brought to Aharon the priest or to one of his sons the priests. (Leviticus 13:3)
“And the priest shall look at the infection on the skin of the body. And
if the hair on the infection has turned white, and the infection appears to be
deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous infection. And the priest
shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean. (Leviticus
13:4) “But if the bright spot is
white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the infected
one seven days. (Leviticus 13:5) “And the priest shall look at him on the
seventh day and see, if the infection appears to be as it was, and the
infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall shut him up another
seven days. (Leviticus 13:6) “And the priest shall look at him again on
the seventh day and see, if the infection has darkened, and the infection has
not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a
scab, and he shall wash his garments and be clean. (Leviticus
13:7) “But if the scab spreads
further over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing,
he shall be seen by the priest again. (Leviticus 13:8) “And the priest shall look and see, if the
scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is
leprosy. (Leviticus 13:9) “When the infection of leprosy is on a man,
then he shall be brought to the priest. (Leviticus
13:10) “And the priest shall look
and see, if the swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair
white, and there is a spot of raw flesh in the swelling, (Leviticus 13:11)
it is an old leprosy on the skin of his body, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean. He does not shut him up, for he is unclean. (Leviticus 13:12)
“And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy shall
cover all the skin of the infected one, from his head to his foot, wherever the
priest looks, (Leviticus 13:13) then the priest shall look and see, if the
leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce the infected one clean. It
has all turned white, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:14) “But the day raw flesh appears on him, he is
unclean. (Leviticus 13:15) “And the priest shall look at the raw flesh
and pronounce him to be unclean – the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy. (Leviticus 13:16)
“Or when the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to
the priest. (Leviticus 13:17) “And the priest shall look at him and see, if
the infection has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the infected
one clean, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:18) “And when the body has a boil in the skin,
and it is healed, (Leviticus 13:19) and in the
place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white,
then it shall be seen by the priest. (Leviticus 13:20) “And the priest shall look and see, if it
appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection which has broken out of the
boil. (Leviticus 13:21) “But if the priest looks at it and sees no
white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the
priest shall shut him up seven days; (Leviticus 13:22) and if it has spread further over the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:23)
“But if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread, it is the
scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Burns on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:24) “Or when the body
receives a burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn shall become
a bright spot, reddish-white or white, (Leviticus
13:25) then the priest shall look at it and see, if the hair of the
bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is
leprosy broken out in the burn. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it
is a leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:26) “But if the priest looks at it and sees there
are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but
has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. (Leviticus 13:27)
“And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads
further over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a
leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:28) “But if the bright spot stays in its place,
and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn.
And the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
Infections on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:29) “And when a man,
or a woman, has an infection on the head or in the beard, (Leviticus 13:30) then the priest shall look at the
infection and see, if it appears deeper than the skin, and there is thin yellow
hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is an eruption, a
leprosy of the head or beard. (Leviticus 13:31) “But when the priest looks at the infection
of the eruption and sees that it does not appear deeper than the skin, and
there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the one with
the infection of the eruption seven days. (Leviticus
13:32) “And on the seventh day
the priest shall look at the infection and see, if the eruption has not spread,
and there is no yellow hair in it, and the eruption does not appear deeper than
the skin, (Leviticus 13:33) then he shall shave himself, but the eruption
he does not shave. And the priest shall shut up the one with the
eruption another seven days. (Leviticus 13:34) “And on the seventh day the priest shall look
at the eruption and see, if the eruption has not spread over the skin, and does
not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And
he shall wash his garments, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus
13:35) “But if the eruption
spreads further over the skin after his cleansing, (Leviticus
13:36) then the priest shall look
at him and see, if the eruption has spread over the skin, the priest need not
seek for yellow hair, he is unclean. (Leviticus 13:37) “But if the eruption appears to have stayed,
and there is black hair grown up in it, the eruption has healed. He is clean,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean. (Leviticus
13:38) “And when a man or a woman
has bright spots on the skin of the body, white bright spots, (Leviticus 13:39)
then the priest shall look and see, if the bright spots on the skin of
the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin, he is
clean. (Leviticus 13:40) “And when a man loses the hair of his head,
he is bald, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:41) “And if the hair has fallen from his
forehead, he is bald on the forehead, he is clean. (Leviticus
13:42) “And when there is on the
bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking
out on his bald head or his bald forehead. (Leviticus
13:43) “And the priest shall look
at it and see, if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald
head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the
body, (Leviticus 13:44) he is a leprous man, he
is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean, without fail, his infection
is on his head. (Leviticus 13:45) “As for the leper who has the infection, his
garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he has to cover his upper lip
and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ (Leviticus 13:46) “He is unclean – all the days he has the
infection he is unclean. He is unclean, and he dwells alone, his dwelling place
is outside the camp.
Yes even our garments can carry infection
(Leviticus 13:47) “And when a
garment has an infection of leprosy in it, in a woolen garment or in a linen
garment, (Leviticus 13:48) or in the warp or in the weft of linen or
wool, or in leather or in any leather-work, (Leviticus
13:49) and the infection shall be
greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the warp or in the
weft, or in any leather object, it is an infection of leprosy and shall be
shown to the priest. (Leviticus 13:50) “And the priest shall look at the infection
and shut up the infected one seven days. (Leviticus
13:51) “And he shall look at the
infection on the seventh day. And when the infection has spread in the garment,
or in the warp or in the weft, or in the leather or any leather-work, the
infection is an active leprosy, it is unclean. (Leviticus
13:52) “And he shall burn that
garment, or the warp or the weft, in wool or in linen or any leather object in
which the infection is, for it is an active leprosy. It is burned with fire. (Leviticus 13:53)
“But if the priest looks and sees that the infection has not spread in
the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, (Leviticus 13:54) then the priest shall give command,
and they shall wash that in which the infection is. And he shall shut it up
another seven days. (Leviticus 13:55) “And the priest shall look at the infection
after it has been washed and see, if the infection has not changed its
appearance, though the infection has not spread, it is unclean, and burn it in
the fire – it is eaten away, in its inside or outside. (Leviticus
13:56) “And if the priest shall
look and see that the infection has faded after washing it, then he shall tear
it out of the garment, or out of the warp, or out of the weft, or out of the
leather. (Leviticus 13:57) “And if it is still seen in the garment, or
in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, it is a spreading
infection. Burn it with fire, that in which the infection is. (Leviticus 13:58)
“And if you wash the garment, or the warp or the weft, or any leather object,
if the infection has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a second
time, and shall be clean. (Leviticus 13:59) “This is the Torah (Instructions-Law)
of the infection of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp or in
the weft, or in any leather object, to
pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leprosy and all operations of curses are no
respecters of person
(2Ki 4:42) Now
a man came from Baʽal Shalishah, and brought the
man of Elohim bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and
newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people to
eat.” (2Ki 4:43) And his servant said, “What? Do I set this
before one hundred men?” And he said, “Give it to the people to eat. For thus
said יהוה, ‘Eat and have some left over.’ ” (2Ki 4:44) and he set it before them, and they ate
and had some left over, according to the word of יהוה.
(2Ki 5:1) And
Naʽaman, commander of the army of the sovereign of Aram,
was a great man in the eyes of his master, and highly respected, because by him
יהוה had given deliverance to Aram. And he was a brave man, but leprous. (2Ki 5:2) And
the Arameans had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl
from the land of Yisra’ĕl, and she served the wife of Naʽaman. (2Ki 5:3) And
she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in
Shomeron! Then he would recover him of his leprosy.” (2Ki
5:4) And Naʽaman went in and
reported to his master, saying, “Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the
land of Yisra’ĕl.” (2Ki 5:5) And the sovereign of Aram said, “Go, enter,
and let me send a letter to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.” And he went and took
with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten
changes of garments. (2Ki 5:6) And he brought the letter to the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl, which said, “And now, when this letter comes to you, see I have sent
Naʽaman my servant to you, so that you shall recover him of his leprosy.” (2Ki 5:7) And
it came to be, when the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl read the letter, that he tore his
garments and said, “Am I Elohim, to kill and keep alive, that this man sends a
man to me to recover him of his leprosy? For consider now, and see how he is
seeking an occasion with me!” (2Ki 5:8) And it came to be, when Elisha the man of
Elohim heard that the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl had torn his garments, that he sent
to the sovereign, saying, “Why have you torn your
garments? Please let him come to me,
so that he knows that there is a prophet in Yisra’ĕl.”
Please understand: in these last days we
shall operate in the gifts of His Spirit and walk in His power if we do not
reject the gifts available or assign them to the works of demons: (Luke 11:11) If a son shall ask
bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he
for a fish give him a serpent?
(Luke 11:12) Or if he shall ask an
egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
(Luke 11:13) If ye then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Comment: these terms- snakes and scorpions
represent the powers or demons and the works of hell which Yahshua came to
destroy!)
(2Ki
5:9)
So Naʽaman came with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the
entrance of the house of Elisha.
Simple obedience brings blessings and
removal of curses!
(2Ki 5:10) And Elisha sent a
messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you shall
wash seven times in the Yardĕn, that your flesh might be restored to you, and
be clean.” (2Ki 5:11) But Naʽaman became wroth, and went away and
said, “See, I said to myself, ‘He would certainly come out to me, and stand and
call on the Name of יהוה his Elohim, and wave
his hand over the place, and recover the leprosy.’ (2Ki
5:12) “Are not the Aḇanah and
the Pharpar, the rivers of Dammeseq, better than all the waters of Yisra’ĕl?
Could I not wash in them and be clean?” And he turned and went away in a rage.
Sometimes a planted word (seed) can produce
repentance- which brings healing
(2Ki 5:13) And his
servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My
father, if the prophet had spoken to you a great matter, would you not have
done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
(2Ki 5:14)
Then he went down and dipped seven times in the Yardĕn, according to the
word of the man of Elohim. And his flesh was restored like the flesh of a
little child, and he was clean. (2Ki 5:15) And he returned to the man of Elohim, he and
all his company, and came and stood before him and said, “See, now I know that
there is no Elohim in all the earth, except in Yisra’ĕl. And now, please take a
gift from your servant.” (2Ki 5:16) But he said, “As יהוה
lives, before whom I stand, I do not accept it.” And he pressed on him to
accept it, but he refused. (2Ki 5:17) Then Naʽaman said, “If not, please let your
servant be given two mule-loads of earth, for no longer is your servant going
to make a burnt offering and slaughtering to other mighty ones, but to יהוה. (2Ki 5:18) “יהוה
grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter: when my master goes into the
house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in
the house of Rimmon; when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, יהוה, please grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter.” (2Ki 5:19)
Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” And when he had gone from him some
distance, (Comment:
Wealth and
riches- has power to bring a curse- as the LOVE of money is the root of all
evil! Perhaps we should
look at our own hearts and desires- where our hearts are- there is our
TREASURE! Let’s get our transgressions uncovered since there is no “Hidden”
sin- know this our-- sin will find us out- so let’s stay in a repentant mode
loved one.) (2Ki 5:20) But Gĕḥazi, the servant of Elisha the man of
Elohim, said to himself, “Look, my master has spared Naʽaman this
Aramean, while not receiving from his hands what he brought. But as יהוה lives, I
shall run after him and take whatever from him.” (2Ki 5:21) And
Gĕḥazi pursued Naʽaman. And when Naʽaman saw him running after him, he came
down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is there peace?” (2Ki 5:22) And
he said, “Peace. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Look, even now two young men
of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephrayim.
Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’ ” (2Ki 5:23) And Naʽaman said, “Please accept two
talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with
two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants. And they bare
them ahead of him. (2Ki 5:24) And when he came to the high place, he took
them from their hand, and stored them away in the house, and let the men go,
and they went. (2Ki 5:25) And he went in and stood before his master,
and Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gĕḥazi?” And he said, “Your servant
did not go anywhere.” (2Ki 5:26) But he said to him, “Did not my heart go with
you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to accept
silver and to accept garments, and olive-trees and vineyards, and sheep and
cattle, and male and female servants? (2Ki 5:27) “So let the
leprosy of Naʽaman cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he
went out from him as leprous as snow.
You will never see it YHWH’s will for sickness to
reign in His sons and daughters!
(Matthew 8:1) And
when He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. (Matthew 8:2)
And see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Master, if
you desire, you are able to make me clean.” (Matthew
8:3) And stretching out His hand יהושע touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed!” And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed. (Matthew 8:4) And יהושע
said to him, “See, and mention it to no one. But go
your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Mosheh
commanded, as a witness to them.”
My prayer for you loved one- is that we take this
wonderful opportunity to fast and repent! Remember please- that fasting AND
prayer removes our UNBELIEF! So we really can ask for what we desire (Biblical)
and it will be given us- not maybe! The Body of Messiah is going through a
great shaking just now so let’s repent of our words spoken and actions
unbecoming the BRIDE- we must choose to do things His way now. (If we don’t
want to be the Bride who makes herself ready- then we can continue to do things
OUR way) Let’s forgive everyone that has done
evil to us, cursed us, and spoken all manner of evil about us. This
gives us a right standing with our Father to pray and bless others- especially
those that have done wickedly in our Father’s eyes against us. Remember, if we
hate or do evil against our brother or sister; Yahushua (Yeshua-Jesus)
considers it MURDER- No murderers will be allowed in the Kingdom- so repentance
is required- we confess our sins one to another that WE may be healed! My
prayer is that we take Yahushua’s words very solemnly- obey and LIVE! Let’s
make sure we repent also of words spoken in hurt or anger against others!
Hallelu-YAH! May YHWH bless and direct you, provide and protect you and your
loved ones- wherever they may be!
Loved one, please also continue to pray in agreement
with us for direction, provision, protection and healing for us and many (yours
and our loved ones) WHO ARE UNDER GREAT ATTACK-
SOME FOR THEIR VERY LIVES! Also, please remember to pray for mine and
Billie’s protection and confusion of the enemy while we (like many of you) are
“Keeping” the Feasts. I, actually- we both, return that prayer back upon you
and your loved ones! YHWH hears your prayers and according to His word and
promise- you/we have the thing we request! (1Jn
5:14) And
this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to
His desire, He hears us. (1Jn 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we
ask, we know that we have the petitions that we
have asked of Him. Hallelu-Yah there is much
power in agreement with prayer and fasting! Give thanks and dance before
our King- like King David danced- and see the blessings of our Elohim poured
out on you and OVERTAKING YOU! Try as you may- obedient and much loved one;
you cannot outrun the blessings of YHWH! Hallelu-Yah! Nothing is more rewarding
than having Yahweh’s blessings OVERTAKE us! HalleluYAH!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston
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: 1 John 4:22.
