Shabbat Shalom Loved One!    (This study is attached and available at the website below- sorry this week it will not attach)

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!  Thank you all for your insight, agreement, and yes loving concern regarding praying for and decreeing our President and world leaders to have an encounter with Yahshua as likened to the Damascus Road experience. It is not my expectation that we can override YHWH’s plan, but we may buy some time for repentance…it is my expectation that mercy is always offered for repentance- and what better way to bring repentance…I believe we have been given authority that we are not even aware of- so consider this a big THANK YOU! We know they will one day soon cry out, “Rocks fall on us- who can stand at the wrath of the LAMB?”

 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 you and keeps His promises to restore all things! PLEASE PRAY for Joy in South Africa (Precious saint who lent us her car while we were ministering in Capetown; who just found out she has a massive tumor; and Jeff- who fractured His pelvis on a zip line (Once we stayed in he and Jenny’s home while ministering in Capetown), and also our dear friend Marlize in Namibia whose mother was just killed in a horrible car crash. Also for my good friend in Costa Rica –Allan- who wants a spirit of poverty that he says has hounded him- removed- He is also a worship leader. Agree with us in prayer for where 2 agree on earth for touching anything- it is DONE by our Father in Heaven!

Father, we bring these hurts to you and ask you to heal and comfort our brothers and sisters. You promised that you gave us power to trample on snakes and scorpions (demonic realm) and overcome all the power of hell and that by no means anything would harm us. So we put you in remembrance and of your promise and we reason together- though our sins be as scarlet- wash us white as snow- HEAL, DELIVER AND MAKE WHOLE! We come to your throne room with boldness and confidence in you and receive mercy and grace in our time of need. Also, where the enemy has brought his work of death and destruction- bring comfort and assurance that cannot be denied that you have them in your loving arms and NOTHING will harm them more! Bring multitudes that are in the Valley of Decision to yourself for these acts of satanic assault and injustice- THANK YOU- Righteous Judge of the Earth!

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-

Hope you had a great Feast of Tabernacles Loved One!

Loved One, I trust you had a great time of fellowship camping at Feast of Tabernacles and learning as the Body of Messiah ministers to each other. Billie and I had planned on being in Africa for this year’s Feast but just could not make it happen this year. We were able to meet with like-minded believers in Northeast Texas and had a wonderful Feast! We are commanded to NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OURSELVES (Command to KEEP HIS FEASTS AS THEY ARE THE SHADOW PICTURES OF THINGS (Appointments) TO COME)! (Hebrews 10:23)  Let us hold fast the confession of our expectation without yielding, for He who promised is trustworthy. (Hebrews 10:24)  And let us be concerned for one another in order to stir up love and good works, 1 Footnote: 1 Mt. 16:27. (Hebrews 10:25)  not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as you see the Day coming near. (Hebrews 10:26)  For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, 1 Footnote: 1 See also 6:6, Hebrews. 9:7, Num. 15:15-28. (Hebrews 10:27) but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. (Hebrews 10:28)  Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. (Hebrews 10:29)  How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor? (Hebrews 10:30)  For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה shall judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:31)  It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
 
Are we in active participation with YHWH in building up the Body of Messiah? There is a great test coming; and the real BRIDE must make herself ready. Are we really about our Fathers business- casting out devils, healing the sick, and doing greater miracles that Yahshua as He promised? Since we are being restored, should that not be our goal? Or are we becoming learners and hearers only but not DOERS of the word? I have sensed a great caution/warning from the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to pursue spiritual gifts as they will be much needed as more and more evil is poured out by the enemy of our souls- (Like a flood the Ruach raises a standard against him). There is much danger among us of learning the Torah and ABOUT Him, but not doing the walk looking and acting as He did and never DOING the TRUTH. (1Jn 2:3)  And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.1 Footnote: 1 See 3:6. (1Jn 2:4)  The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1Jn 2:5)  But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected1 in him. By this we know that we are in Him .2 Footnotes: 1 Gen. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, Mt. 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1Jn 2:6)  The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
 
The real Body of Messiah of whom He is the Head of; will walk in His love, compassion, and power against hell’s works. We will be as rivers of life against the drought, famine, condemnation and death brought by hasatan. He only brings what he has; death and condemnation as he has been and still is CONDEMNED. To accomplish our destinies- we MUST WALK IN POWER! Can He trust us with His power? He will trust His bride so we must make ourselves ready. Are you and I even trusting Him for His power to help others- mush less is He finding us trustworthy? If we are not walking in His love and power; we have some changing to do. (John 13:34)  “A renewed command I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:35)  By this shall all know that you are my taught ones, if you have love for one another.” Please recognize and question yourself and checkup to see if you are walking in His love and compassion or have you become a scriptural Torah Terrorist? Often, we are blindsided by our zest to follow our King in obedience.
 
He changes not- so that only leaves us to repent and do all the changing- He has finished and is sitting at the right side of the Father waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. He has paid for us to become who we are destined to become; but I am concerned that our fear and ignorance of His love, compassion and power has left us way short of the mark of the High Calling of Messiah. Often, I have heard many believers (Out of fear and/or ignorance) assign the works of the Ruach to demons- the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which will not be forgiven in this age – or the one to come. We should realize that hasatan will always try a counterfeit- but that must not make us fearful from the reality of the NEED FOR HIS GIFTS. Honestly, do you and I really think we will walk in Yahshua’s love, compassion, and power over the horrible demonic forces of hell unleashed on planet earth and its inhabitants without NEEDING to walk in the gifts of His Ruach; that are given as the Spirit wills for the benefit of others? Surely we are not that ignorant and self-sufficient. My hope for us is that we will realize our Father knows better than we, that we will be powerfully outgunned by wicked men supernatural powers and weapons unless we receive Yahweh’s gifts to overcome as they are written. It all starts with yielding our tongues as we ask Yahshua to Mikveh (Baptize) us in His Spirit and Fire. Most of you know the tongue is likened to a rudder on a ship and a bridle on a horse- which both are for determining direction. This is true for our walk also. I want to encourage you to yield your tongues and ask and trust Yahshua to Mikveh you in His Spirit! I suspect we have really not surrendered our lives to Yahshua at all until we surrender our directions/control in this manner. Some of you are still fearful and doubtful of trusting Him with your tongue…so consider His instructions.
 
(Luke 11:9)  “And I say to you: ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. (Luke 11:10)  “For everyone asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. (Luke 11:11)  “And what father among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, (Luke 11:12) or if he asks for an egg shall give him a scorpion? (Luke 11:13)  “If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give the Set-apart Spirit to those asking Him?”
 
 
Once you have obeyed Him in this area of direction; then you will go on to His nine gifts to the exact extent you willingly trust and obey. (Isa 1:18)  “Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isa 1:19)  If you submit and obey, you shall eat the good of the land; (Isa 1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
 
(1Co 12:1)  And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2)  You know that you were gentiles, 1 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote: 1 Eph. 2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3)  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master (Lord) except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4)  And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5)  There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. (1Co 12:6)  And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1Co 12:7)  And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting (Others)
 
(1Co 12:8) for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9) and to another belief (supernatural faith/trust) by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, (1Co 12:10) and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11)  But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.
 
I want to clarify that there is no gift listed as discernment which is often used as an excuse or gift of judgment. (There is only one law (Torah) giver and one judge and we are not Him) There is a gift of discerning of spirits where YHWH allows us to see into the spirit realm (As He wills) where we can see angels, demons, Yahshua, etc. None of the gifts are under our control, they are given as the spirit wills, but I would add that they are absolutely made available to those who believe them who are out DOING the GOSPEL! He is no respecter of persons but He watches over His word to perform it. Remember, the more you read and study these Scriptures, the more faith you will have to receive these gifts for the benefit of others.
 
We choose words that agree with Yahshua as He told me anything else is a lie no matter how raging the storm may bone. Actually, here is how the conversation went; I said after camping out many years ago- “I have a crick in my neck.” He replied; “You should not have said that.”  I replied: “It’s the truth- what do you want me to say? I feel like a liar if I say I am healed and my neck hurts” He replied: “Can you lie if you agree with me son?” I replied (perhaps foolishly but thinking I was correct) “Yes- I guess I can- because I want to speak only TRUTH!” He replied sternly but with love: “If you disagree with me son, YOU are the liar and I am still the TRUTH!”

There remain our choices concerning being equipped for real and present danger; which are guaranteed and made available by YHWH who will require Heaven and Earth to witness us and our choices this day! We should not fear him who can kill the body but rather FEAR HIM who can also cast us into hell! Let’s receive His promised help and get prepared as we wrestle not against flesh and blood- but against powers…
 
(Eph 6:10)  For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. (Eph 6:11)  Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Eph 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. (Eph 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. (Eph 6:14)  Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Eph 6:15)  and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; (Eph 6:16)  above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. (Eph 6:17)  Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, 1 Footnote: 1 Isa. 59:21. (Eph 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; (Eph 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, (Eph 6:20)  for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it I might speak boldly, as I should speak.
 
Our words agreeing with HIM are powerful and will accomplish what they were sent for!

(Deu 30:13)  “Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’ (Deu 30:14)  “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it. (Deu 30:15)  “See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil, (Deu 30:16)  in that I am commanding you today to love יהוה your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to guard His commands, and His laws, and His right-rulings. And you shall live and increase, and יהוה your Elohim shall bless you in the land which you go to possess. (Deu 30:17)  “But if your heart turns away, and you do not obey, and shall be drawn away, and shall bow down to other mighty ones and serve them, (Deu 30:18)  “I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish, you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are passing over the Yardĕn to enter and possess. (Deu 30:19)  I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deu 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
 
Now let’s get to this week’s Torah (Instructions in Hebrews not Law) Study about loving our neighbor as ourselves!


Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Kedoshim “Holy Ones”
 
Leviticus 19:1-20:27; Ezekiel 22:1-19; Isaiah 66:1-24; 1 Peter 1:13-16
 
OBEDIENCE: How we love YHWH and love our neighbor as ourselves!
 
(Leviticus 19:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 19:2) “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Be set-apart, for I יהוה your Elohim am set-apart. (Leviticus 19:3)  ‘Each one of you should fear (honor) his mother and his father, and guard My Sabbaths. I am יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus 19:4)  ‘Do not turn to idols, and do not make for yourselves molded mighty ones. I am יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus 19:5)  ‘And when you bring a peace offering to יהוה, bring it for your acceptance. (Leviticus 19:6)  ‘It is eaten the same day you slaughter it, and on the next day. And that which is left on the third day is burned with fire. (Leviticus 19:7)  ‘So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable, it is not accepted, (Leviticus 19:8)  and he who eats it bears his crookedness, because he has profaned the set-apart offering of יהוה, and that being shall be cut off from his people. (Leviticus 19:9)  ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land, do not completely reap the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. (Leviticus 19:10)  ‘And do not glean your vineyard or gather every grape of your vineyard, leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus 19:11)  ‘Do not steal, do not lie, and do not deceive one another. (Leviticus 19:12)  ‘And do not swear falsely by My Name and so profane the Name of your Elohim. I am יהוה.

Do not be partial to the poor or favor the face of the great, but rightly rule your neighbor in righteousness. (Leviticus 19:16)  ‘Do not go slandering among your people. Do not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 19:17)  ‘Do not hate your brother in your heart. Reprove your neighbor, for certain, and bear no sin because of him. (Leviticus 19:18)  ‘Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 19:19)  ‘Guard My laws. Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your field with mixed seed. And do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you. (Leviticus 19:20)  ‘And when a man has intercourse with a woman who is a female servant, engaged to a man, and who has not at all been ransomed nor redeemed, there should be an inquiry. But they are not put to death, because she was not free. (Leviticus 19:21)  ‘And he shall bring his guilt offering to יהוה, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, a ram as a guilt offering. (Leviticus 19:22)  ‘And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before יהוה for his sin which he has done. And the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him. (Leviticus 19:23)  ‘And when you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall reckon their fruit as uncircumcised. For three years it is as uncircumcised to you, it is not eaten. (Leviticus 19:24)  ‘And in the fourth year all its fruit is set-apart – praises to יהוה. (Leviticus 19:25)  ‘And in the fifth year you eat its fruit, so that it increases its yield to you. I am יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus 19:26)  ‘Do not eat meat with the blood. Do not practice divination or magic. (Leviticus 19:27)  ‘Do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard. (Leviticus 19:28)  ‘And do not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put tattoo marks on you. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 19:29)  ‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a whore, so that the land does not whore, and the land becomes filled with wickedness. (Leviticus 19:30)  ‘Guard My Sabbaths and reverence my set-apart place. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 19:31)  ‘Do not turn to mediums, and do not seek after spiritists to be defiled by them. (Hallow-what?)

(Leviticus 19:33)  ‘And when a stranger sojourns with you in your land, do not oppress him. (Leviticus 19:34)  ‘Let the stranger who dwells among you be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself. For you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus 19:35)  ‘Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling, in measurement of length, in weight, or in measuring liquids. (Leviticus 19:36)  ‘Have right scales, right weights, a right ĕphah, and a right hin. I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Leviticus 19:37)  ‘And you shall guard all my laws and all my right-rulings, and do them. I am יהוה.’ ”
 
So much for abortion rights---yikes- guaranteed judgment by YHWH!
 
(Leviticus 20:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 20:2) “Say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘any man of the children of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers who sojourn in Yisra’ĕl, who gives any of his offspring to Moleḵ, shall certainly be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. (Leviticus 20:3)  ‘And I, I shall set My face against that man, and shall cut him off from the midst of his people, because he has given of his offspring to Moleḵ, so as to defile My set-apart place and to profane My set-apart Name. (Leviticus 20:4)  ‘And if the people of the land at all hide their eyes from the man, as he gives any of his offspring to Moleḵ, and they do not kill him, (Leviticus 20:5) then I shall set My face against that man and against his clan, and shall cut him off – and all who go whoring after him, even go whoring after Moleḵ – from the midst of their people. (Leviticus 20:6)  ‘And the being who turns to mediums, and to spiritists, to go whoring after them, I shall set My face against that being and cut him off from the midst of his people. (Leviticus 20:7)  ‘And you shall set yourselves apart, and shall be set-apart, for I am יהוה your Elohim, (Leviticus 20:8) and you shall guard My laws and do them. I am יהוה, who sets you apart. (Leviticus 20:9)  ‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death – he has cursed his father or his mother, his blood is on him. (Leviticus 20:10)  ‘And a man who commits adultery with the wife of another man, who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor: the adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be put to death. (Leviticus 20:11)  ‘And a man who lies with the wife of his father has uncovered the nakedness of his father, both of them shall certainly be put to death, their blood is upon them.  (Leviticus 20:12)  ‘And a man who lies with his daughter-in-law: both of them shall certainly be put to death, they have made confusion, their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:13)  ‘And a man who lies with a male as he lies with a woman: both of them have done an abomination, they shall certainly be put to death, their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:14)  ‘And a man who marries a woman and her mother: it is wickedness, they are burned with fire, both he and they, that there be no wickedness in your midst. (Leviticus 20:15)  ‘And a man who has intercourse with a beast: he shall certainly be put to death, and the beast you kill. (Leviticus 20:16)  ‘And a woman who approaches any beast and mates with it: you shall kill the woman and the beast, they shall certainly be put to death, and their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:17)  ‘And a man who takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness: it is wickedness, and they shall be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness, he bears his crookedness. (Leviticus 20:18)  ‘And a man who lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness: he has laid bare her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood, both of them shall be cut off from the midst of their people. (Leviticus 20:19)  ‘And do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister nor of your father’s sister, for that is laying bare one’s own flesh, they will bear their crookedness. (Leviticus 20:20)  ‘And a man who lies with his uncle’s wife: he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness, they bear their sin, they will die childless. (Leviticus 20:21)  ‘And a man who takes his brother’s wife: it is uncleanness, he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness, they are childless. (Leviticus 20:22)  ‘And you shall guard all my laws and all my right-rulings, and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to dwell does not vomit you out. (Leviticus 20:23)  ‘And do not walk in the laws of the nation which I am driving out before you, for they do all these, and therefore I loathed them. (Leviticus 20:24)  ‘But I say to you, “You are going to possess their land, and I myself give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am יהוה your Elohim, who has separated you from the peoples. (Leviticus 20:25)  ‘And you shall make a distinction between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean. And do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or whatever creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. (Leviticus 20:26)  ‘And you shall be set-apart to me, for I יהוה am set-apart, and have separated you from the peoples to be Mine. (Leviticus 20:27)  ‘And a man or a woman in whom there is a medium, or who are spiritists, shall certainly be put to death, they are to stone them with stones. Their blood is upon them.’ ” (Ezekiel 22:1) and the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 22:2) “And now, son of man, judge, judge the city of blood! And you shall show her all her abominations! (Ezekiel 22:3)  “And you shall say, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “The city sheds blood in her midst, that her time might come. And she has made idols within herself to become defiled. (Ezekiel 22:4)  “You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. Thus you have brought your days near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I shall make you a reproach to the gentiles, and a mockery to all lands. (Ezekiel 22:5)  “Those near and those far from you mock you – defiled is your name and great the confusion! (Ezekiel 22:6)  “See the leaders of Yisra’ĕl: each one has used his arm to shed blood in you. (Ezekiel 22:7)  “They have despised father and mother within you. They have oppressed the stranger in your midst. They have wronged the fatherless and the widow within you. (Ezekiel 22:8)  “You have despised that which is set-apart to me, and you have profaned My Sabbaths. (Ezekiel 22:9)  “Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. And in you are those who eat on the mountains. They have done wickedness in your midst. (Ezekiel 22:10)  “In you they have uncovered the nakedness of a father. In you they have humbled women who are defiled during their uncleanness. (Ezekiel 22:11)  “And the one has done abomination with his neighbor’s wife. And another has wickedly defiled his daughter-in-law. And another within you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. (Ezekiel 22:12)  “In you they have taken a bribe to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase. You have cut off your neighbor by extortion. And you have forgotten me,” declares the Master יהוה. (Ezekiel 22:13)  “And see, I shall smite my hand because of your greedy gain which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst. (Ezekiel 22:14)  “Would your heart stand, your hands remain strong, in the days when I deal with you? I, יהוה, have spoken, and shall do it. (Ezekiel 22:15)  “And I shall scatter you among the gentiles, and shall disperse you throughout the lands, and shall consume your filthiness out of you. (Ezekiel 22:16)  “And you shall profane yourself before the eyes of the gentiles. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 22:17) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 22:18) “Son of man, the house of Yisra’ĕl has become dross to Me. All of them are bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace – they have become the dross of silver. (Ezekiel 22:19)  “Thus said the Master יהוה; ‘Because all of you have become dross; therefore see, I am gathering you into the midst of Yerushalayim.
 
(Isa 66:1)  Thus said יהוה; “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool; so where is this house that you build for me? And where is this place of my rest? (Isa 66:2)  “And all these my hand have made, and all these that exist,” declares יהוה. “Yet to such a one I look: on him who is poor and bruised of spirit, and who trembles at My Word. (Isa 66:3)  “But whoever slaughters the bull slays a man; whoever slaughters the lamb breaks a dog’s neck; whoever brings a grain offering – pig’s blood; whoever burns incense blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways, and their being delights in their abominations. (Isa 66:4)  “I shall also choose their punishments, and bring their fears on them.  I called, but no one answered. I spoke and they did not hear, and they did evil before my eyes, and chose what was displeasing to me.” (Isa 66:5)  Hear the Word of יהוה, you who tremble at His Word, “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for My Name’s sake, said, ‘let יהוה be esteemed, so that we see your joy.’ But they are put to shame.” (Isa 66:6)  “A roaring sound comes from the city, a voice from the Hĕḵal, (Temple) the voice of יהוה, repaying His enemies! (Isa 66:7)  “Before she labored, she gave birth; before a pain came to her, she was delivered of a male child. (Isa 66:8)  “Who has heard the like of this? Who has seen the like of these? Is a land brought forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For as soon as Tsiyon labored, she gave birth to her children. (Isa 66:9)  “Shall I bring to birth, and not give delivery?” says יהוה. “Shall I who give delivery restrain birth?” said your Elohim. (Isa 66:10)  “Rejoice with Yerushalayim, and be glad with her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn for her; (Isa 66:11)  so that you feed, and shall be satisfied with the breast of her comforts, so that you drink deeply, and shall delight yourselves in her overflowing esteem.” (Isa 66:12)  For thus said יהוה, “See, I am extending peace to her like a river, and the esteem of the gentiles like a flowing stream. And you shall feed; you shall be carried on the side, and be fondled on her knees. (Isa 66:13)  “As one whom his mother comforts, so I comfort you. And in Yerushalayim you are comforted.” (Isa 66:14)  “And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones flourish as tender grass. And the hand of יהוה shall be known to His servants, and His displeasure to His enemies. (Isa 66:15)  “For look, יהוה comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning, and His rebuke with flames of fire. (Isa 66:16)  For by fire and by His sword יהוה shall judge all flesh, and the slain of יהוה shall be many(Isa 66:17)  those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘One’ in the midst, eating flesh of pigs 1 and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together,” declares יהוה. Footnote: See 65:4. (Isa 66:18)  “And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see my esteem. (Isa 66:19)  “And I shall set a sign among them, and shall send some of those who escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coast lands afar off who have not heard my report nor seen my esteem. And they shall declare my esteem among the gentiles. (Isa 66:20)  “And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the gentiles, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to my set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה, “as the children of Yisra’ĕl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of יהוה. (Isa 66:21)  “And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lĕwites,” declares יהוה. (Isa 66:22)  “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before me,” declares יהוה, so your seed and your name shall stand.” (This is good news!) (Isa 66:23)  “And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me,” declares יהוה. (Isa 66:24)  “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against me 1. For their worm shall not die and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!” Footnote: 1 See 24:6, 34:2-3, Ps. 110:6, Jer. 25:33.
 
Would YHWH command us to be set apart and not equip us to do that? NO WAY! We willingly choose to humble ourselves and obey His commands! Hallelu-Yah!
 
Kĕpha (Peter) is sharing much what Sha’ul said here in Romans 12: 1-2- Do NOT conform to the pattern of this world but be being changed by RENEWING our minds
 
(1Pe 1:13)  Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, set your expectation perfectly upon the favor that is to be brought to you at the revelation of יהושע Messiah, (1Pe 1:14)  as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance, (1Pe 1:15)  instead, as the One who called you is set-apart, so you also should become set-apart in all behavior, (1Pe 1:16)  because it has been written, “Be set-apart, for I am set-apart.”
 
 
 
May YHWH bless you Loved Ones. Truth seekers like you are the best brothers and sisters on the Planet Earth! I thank you for your heart felt prayers! Times of Jacob’s Trouble are approaching so let’s make ourselves ready. Really; thanks for your heartfelt intercession for Billie and me; we know it will be added back to you and your loved ones 30, 60 and one hundred fold! May your seed be taught of YHWH as you obey through the fiery trials we will face as this is guaranteed for obedience! (Just as it was for Abraham and we are heirs according to the promises of Abraham because of our trust in Yahshua!) (Gen 22:18) "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice." (Isa 54:11)  O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. (Isa 54:12)  And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. (Isa 54:13)  And all thy children shall be taught of YHWH; and great shall be the peace of thy children
 
So dear Loved One, FEAR NOT about your children, just be concerned about your own right standing (Come apart from the lies we inherited in pagan traditions)  and obey the Father- and rest in Him concerning your children. He is the one who guarantees they’ll be taught of Him, so, declare and decree the matter and have great peace! I have full confidence He will do His part as He promised! Let’s get authorized and empowered to do and be about Father’s business!
 
Shalom to your home- you are much loved,
 
Thurston
 
Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt 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 Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
