Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com video/audio presentations to
help us trust our Messiah!
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!
Loved One,
yesterday the Ruach spoke to me and told me to read and understand Psalm 19. I
was driving across West Texas and was trying to think about what was in Psalm
19. I could not remember anything. So when I stopped I looked it up and wow-
what a meaningful, deep and packed chapter; albeit short! Do I understand the
signs in the heavens—apparently not much! I am diving deeper into these
scriptures and I welcome your thoughts and insight---and comments! It is a
blessing for the Body of Messiah to minister to each other so I want to hear
from you. I have made minor comments which are highlighted but I want to hear
what the Ruach shows you!
(Psalms 19:1) The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of Ěl;
and the expanse is declaring the work of His hand. (We remember the
scriptures say there will be signs in the heavens before Messiah comes and we
should understand them) (Psalms 19:2) Day to day pours forth speech, and night to
night reveals knowledge. (Psalms 19:3) There is no speech, and there are no words, their
voice is not heard. (Psalms 19:4) Their line has gone out through all the earth
and their words to the end of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun, (Psalms 19:5) and it is like a bridegroom coming out of his room,
(We remember the bridegroom does not come out of His room
unless there are serious concerns and call for repentance such as Joel warns us: (Joel 2:12) “Yet even now,” declares יהוה, “turn to me with all your heart, and with
fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”(repent) (Joel 2:13)
And tear your heart and not your garments, and turn back to יהוה your
Elohim, for He shows favor and is compassionate, patient, and of great
kindness, and He shall relent concerning the evil. (Joel 2:14) Who knows – He might turn
and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, a grain offering and a drink
offering for יהוה your Elohim? (Joel 2:15) Blow a ram’s horn in Tsiyon, set apart a
fast, and call an assembly. (Joel 2:16) Gather the people, set the assembly apart,
assemble the elders, and gather the children and nursing babes. Let a bridegroom come out from his room,
and a bride from her dressing room.-
(hey since we are the bride making ourselves ready- perhaps we need to repent
and get dressed- so we too can come out of the dressing room)) it rejoices
like a strong man to run the path. (Psalms 19:6) Its rising is from one end of the heavens, and
its circuit to the other end; and naught is hidden from its heat. (Psalms 19:7)
The Torah (Law-Instructions) of יהוה (Yahweh, Yahuah, Elohim, God, etc.) is perfect, bringing back the being; the witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple; (Psalms 19:8)
The orders of יהוה are straight,
rejoicing the heart; the command of יהוה
is clear, enlightening the eyes; (Psalms 19:9) The fear of יהוה
is clean, standing forever; the right-rulings of יהוה
are true, they are righteous altogether, (Psalms 19:10) More desirable than gold,
than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. (True riches are an intimate relationship with our Elohim and Creator)
(Psalms 19:11) Also, your servant is warned by them, in
guarding them there is great reward. (Psalms 19:12) Who discerns mistakes? Declare me innocent
from those that are secret (sins), (Psalms 19:13) Also keep your servant back from
presumptuous ones; do not let them rule over me. Then shall I be perfect, and
innocent of great transgression. (Psalms 19:14) Let the words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before you, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer. (Our words of life or death have power over our direction and path to
be righteous overcomers on a righteous path or to be overcome by a wicked path
we foolishly may be choosing; we are commanded to take every thought captive
and promised we will be judged by words we speak: (Mat 12:34) “Brood of adders!
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 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 (condemned).”
Times may get
tougher, but we who are
repentant are poured out more grace and mercy and more power to deal with the
enemy of our souls. You and I both know that tougher times bring us to more
prayer, worship, fasting and intimacy with our Messiah and King! Yes, Yahshua has
promised us that it when He returns it would be wicked as in the Days of Noah- (with
fallen angels mating with women as in Genesis 6:4 creating Giants- Nephilim
like Goliath and his brothers) and the world and its occupants becoming more
evil to our bewilderment and astonishment! (Mat 24:37)
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Mat 24:38) For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the
ark, (Mat 24:39) and did not know
until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the
Son of Man be.
My
continued prayer for you and all your loved ones and yes- Billie and me and our
loved ones- is that whatever it takes, whether an angel or person, that YHWH
sends workers (angels or people as both are fine) to bring us all to REPENTANCE and GIVES US HIS COMPASSION, WISDOM, LOVE AND POWER (Or more specifically empowers us to RECEIVE what
He has already given us in Luke 10:19) to trample on snakes and scorpions
(demonic realm) and overcome all the power of hell and then gathers us into His
harvest. That we take serious these days and MAKE OURSELVES READY as His bride! We may actually
get to take down some giants of our own in those days…remember the giant came
mocking the Elohim of Israel but David came proclaiming the battle was Yahweh’s-
the Mighty Creator of all things –seen and unseen!
Therefore, we put aside
all manner and avenues of deceit, evil, envying’s, and evil words that report
apparent facts but disagree with His word and drink the pure word of YHWH and
draw near to Him who made Heaven and Earth and all that is
seen and unseen! This life is quite temporary in this flesh body so knowing
this let’s live our lives that we may believe YHWH- that if we ask ANYTHING
that is according to His word, and we know He hears us; we KNOW we have the
things we have asked for! Hallelu-YAH! (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. (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.
Now
OBSERVE the promise of Yahweh for a nation like us (USA) that disobeys His
commands and follows after their own ways! I have placed the script in red
because Yahshua is this commanded word:
(John 1:1) In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. (John 1:2) He was in the beginning with Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to be through Him, 1 and without Him not
even one came to be that came to be. Footnote: 1 Eph.
3:9, Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:2, Heb. 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Ps. 33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has
not overcome it.
Many of you
already realize that in the Bible code in Hebrew every 70th letter
spells TORAH (instructions not LAW) in Genesis and Exodus pointing to Leviticus
and every 70th letter in Numbers and Deuteronomy spell Torah
backwards pointing to Leviticus- while Leviticus spells Yahshua (Jesus) in
Hebrew every 7 letters! I suspect the Creator of the Universe wants us to
understand who He really is! I have posted these promises to us in the USA in red by
Yahshua!
(Lev 26:14) ‘But if you
do not obey Me, and do not do all these commands, (Lev 26:15) and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My
right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but break My covenant, (Lev 26:16) I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm
over you, wasting disease and inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming
the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
(Lev 26:17)
‘And I shall set my face against you, and
you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those who hate you shall rule
over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Lev 26:18) ‘And after all this, if you do not obey me, then I shall
punish you seven times more for your sins. (Lev 26:19) ‘And
I shall break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron
and your earth like bronze. (Lev 26:20) ‘And your
strength shall be spent in vain and your land will not yield its crops, nor do
the trees of the land yield their fruit. (Lev 26:21) ‘And
if you walk contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven
times more plagues, according to your sins, (Lev 26:22) and
send wild beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I shall
cut off your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be
deserted. (Lev 26:23) ‘And if you are
not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:24) then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I myself
shall smite you seven times for your sins. (Lev 26:25) ‘And
I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of my covenant, and
you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among
you, and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy. (Lev 26:26) ‘When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by
weight and you shall eat and not be satisfied. (Lev 26:27) ‘And
if in spite of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:28) then I shall
walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven times for
your sins. (Lev 26:29) ‘And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Lev 26:30) ‘And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your
sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols. And my
being shall loathe you. (Lev 26:31) ‘And I shall turn
your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and not smell your sweet
fragrances. (Lev 26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your enemies who
dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Lev 26:33) ‘And
I shall scatter you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your
land shall be desert and your cities ruins, (Lev 26:34) and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as
long as it lays waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would
rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. (Lev 26:35) ‘As long as it lays waste it rests, for the
time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it. (Lev 26:36) ‘And as for those of you who are left, I shall send
faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And they shall flee as though retreating
from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. (Lev 26:37) ‘And they shall stumble over one another, as from before
a sword, when no one pursues. And you shall be unable to stand before your
enemies. (Lev 26:38) ‘And you shall
perish among the gentiles, (Heathen)
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up,
(Lev 26:39)
and those of you who are left rot away in
their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in their fathers’
crookednesses rot away with them. (Lev 26:40) ‘But if they confess their crookedness and the crookedness
of their fathers, with their trespass in which they trespassed against me, and
that they also have walked contrary to me, (Lev 26:41) and that I
also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their
enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the
punishment of their crookedness, (Lev 26:42) then I shall
remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and
also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land. (Lev 26:43) ‘For the land was abandoned by them, and
enjoying its Sabbaths while lying waste without them, and they were paying for
their crookedness, because they rejected my right-rulings and because their
being loathed my laws. (Lev 26:44) ‘And yet for all this, when they are in the
land of their enemies, I shall not reject them, nor shall I loathe them so as
to destroy them and break my covenant with them. I am יהוה
their Elohim. (Lev 26:45) ‘Then I shall remember for their sake the covenant of the
ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim before the eyes of the
nations to be their Elohim. I am יהוה.’ (Lev 26:46) These are the laws and the right-rulings and
the Torot 1 which יהוה made between Himself and the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount
Sinai by the hand of Mosheh. Footnote: 1 Torot
- plural of Torah, teaching.
(Isa 49:24)
Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous
delivered? (Isa 49:25) Yes- said יהוה, “Even the
captives of the mighty are taken away; and the prey of the ruthless is
delivered. I
strive with him who strives with you, and I save your children. Hey now that’s FAMILY BENEFITS!
He contends with our enemies and delivers and saves our children!
Here is our instruction to tame our tongues:
(Jas 3:10) Out of the
same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be so. (Jas 3:11)
Does the fountain send forth the sweet and the bitter from the same
opening? (Jas 3:12) My brothers, is a fig tree able to bear
olives, or a grapevine figs? So neither is a fountain able to make salt
and sweet water. (Jas 3:13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
him show by his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom. (Jas 3:14) But
if you have bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast
against and lie against the truth. (Jas 3:15) This is not the wisdom coming down from
above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. (Jas 3:16) For where
jealousy and self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed.
(Jas 3:17)
But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready
to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy.
We
start our lives as believers as BABIES but we are commanded to grow up and walk
by trust and faith!
Obstacles and difficulties
will mature us (Hebrews 5:12)
For indeed, although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to
teach you again the first elements of the Words of Elohim. And you have become
such as need milk and not solid food. (Hebrews 5:13) For everyone partaking of milk is
inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. (Hebrews 5:14)
But solid food is for the mature whose senses have been trained by
practice to discern both good and evil. Let us consider carefully loved one. Growing up spiritually is of vast
importance – perhaps even more important than our physical growing up. We are
to be found BLAMELESS at our King’s appearing so we must grow up now: (1Th 5:23) And
the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit,
and being (soul), and body - be preserved
blameless at the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah!
I have a certain recurring thought to share. My expectations are that
He wants us in a good standing with Him and others NOW for a reason. Yes, I expect that reason is advancing on us who
are living today- at the end of the age. We were born at this most exciting
time of man’s creation; for such a time as this! Not many would be the least
surprised if we see a nuclear exchange of some sort in the Middle East in the
next several years. Let’s pray that we have SHALOM and not war and that
repentance comes forth from us and our leaders. Yah is on the throne and He
knows the end from the beginning. He alone will judge the unrighteous and
really does not need our help- our goal of intensity MUST be to make sure our
lives or not among those JUDGED! Is it Isaiah 17:1? Is it Psalms 83? Is it
Ezekiel 38-9; is it Joel 3 which will bring “swift repayment” on us for dividing Jerusalem? Is it
Jeremiah 51? Is it Zechariah 5? Not sure, perhaps all of them along with
Ezekiel 38-9!
Our walk of intimacy will have us
laughing at the devil and his hordes and rulers of darkness. Our self-judged
intimacy we each meditate on is worth our prayerful considerations. Here’s the
thought I believe He wants me to address for our benefit BEFORE we must stand in front of Him. “There is NO reconciliation apart from
repentance!” THEN WE MAY APPLY THE
BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF YAHWEH! Anger is a
manifestation of pain, and left unchecked leads to rebellion. We have all been
hurt, abandoned, rejected, or made to feel inferior by someone (or many) during
our lives. Let’s get free! Our choice to submit to His word and REPENT and
forgive others that we may be forgiven is a life or death choice. Here
are some verses from a short verse search that speak volumes to us living
today. If these things were true when Yahshua first came as a type of Joseph- suffering
servant to gather the 12 brothers (Family-
lost sheep of Israel) How much more are they true-- do you and I suppose
they are for us who are living now when He is coming again as King of Israel-
The Lion of Judah to restore His brothers (Israel-
You and I). I would expect the Kingdom of Heaven is closer now than then…remember
we must forgive to be
forgiven Loved One (YHWH moves mountains but bring a shovel) - look with me: (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 (willing and obedient), 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.
Loved One, as a short
review, before we look at the power Yahweh will share with us who will submit
and repent and walk righteously (FAMILY
GIFTS); let’s once again
remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are
“Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth
Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with
him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your
mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother? And
who are
my brothers? (Matthew
12:49) And he stretched
forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my
mother and my
brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do
the will
of my
Father which is
in heaven, the same is my brother, and
sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves
and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH /Instructions)
we are Yahshua’s (Yeshua, Yahushua, Jesus’)
family!
Have WE inherited
lies? Most Likely! We should also realize a
truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY
OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also
known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH
reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and
subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t
please Him because they have pagan roots and are man-made (added and subtracted
from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect!
(Jeremiah 16:19)
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies,
vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the
Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1 See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
Can we even imagine thinking we were serving
YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were
workers of Lawlessness (Torahlessness)- that He never knew us and to depart
from us; that we actually were disobedient following pagan traditions we
inherited? This experience would
and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth,
into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change
us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing
is too hard for you YHWH! You are family (LOVED ONES) if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your
Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions.
This group of LOVED ONES would include us who
are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing
to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves
you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua
to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? Or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to humble ourselves and
accept the engrafted word when we discover truth.
This losing our life for Him is not just
physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the
degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Let’s get hungry for more of Him and less of us- I
suspect we will be most happy not to hear these words from Yahshua!
(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 teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Isa.
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.
FAMILY PROTOCOL IS IMPORTANT-
(Especially since we need and expect His gifts- hehe) (Mat 15:4) “For Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect (honor) your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be
put to death.’ (Eph 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the Master,
for this is right. (Eph 6:2) “Respect (honor)
your father and mother,” which is the first command with promise, (Eph 6:3) in
order that it might be well with you, and you might live long on the earth.”
Finally- let’s look at the KJV about renewing our minds in His Scripture
promises regarding knowing His will in Romans 12:1-2 (Soul- mind will and intellect) and see: (3 John 1:2) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Do we want to be
blessed to be a blessing like Isaac was? Let’s give our parents honor
and more importantly (possibly setting
precedence) our Heavenly Father honor and LIVE
UNDER AN OPEN HEAVEN! Do we really understand that obedience brings blessings
and disobedience brings curses?
Approaching YHWH and entering His
presence!
Also realize that if you are in great warfare- enter His gates (Doorway) giving
thanks- remember the old song- “Count your blessings, count them one by one,
count your many blessings see what YHWH’s done and then PRAISE HIM as demon
spirits cannot hang around and get you down when He is present! Hallelu-YAH! (Psalms 22:2) O My Elohim, I call by day, but you do not
answer; and by night, but I find no rest. (Psalms 22:3) Yet
you are set-apart YHVH, Enthroned on the praises of
Yisra’ĕl. KJV
uses inhabits…
Psalms_100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His
courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His
Name. Psalms_105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms_106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.
Receiving our last (New
Covenant) Torah portion this week will help us to walk in His miracle gifts
in these days ahead known as Jacob’s Troubles, so let’s be open- study and
receive so we can be used to produce fruit that remains!. With
thankful hearts- which are counting our blessings one by one- let’s turn our
hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion Loved Ones! Of course, you and I
can reject this and continue to wonder why we walk in no power to help others….
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Bamidbar “In the Wilderness”
Numbers 1:1-4:20; Hosea 2:1-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
Numbering Israel and Assigning their Portion and Place of
Service-
(Numbers 1:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of
the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of
Mitsrayim, saying, (Numbers 1:2) “Take a census of all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to
the number of names, every male, head by head, (Numbers 1:3) from twenty years old and
above, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl. Number them by their
divisions, you and Aharon. (Numbers 1:4) “And a man from every tribe should be with
you, each one the head of his father’s house. (Numbers 1:5) “And these are the names of
the men who stand with you. From Re’uḇĕn: Elitsur, son of Sheḏĕy’ur. (Numbers 1:6)
“From Shimʽon: Shelumi’ĕl, son of Tsurishaddai. (Numbers 1:7) “From Yehuḏah: Naḥshon,
son of Amminaḏaḇ. (Numbers 1:8) “From Yissasḵar: Nethanĕ’l, son of Tsuʽar. (Numbers 1:9) “From Zeḇulun: Eliyaḇ, son of Ḥĕlon.
(Numbers 1:10)
“From the sons of Yosĕph: From Ephrayim: Elishama, son of Ammihuḏ. From
Manasseh: Gamli’ĕl, son of Peḏahtsur. (Numbers 1:11) “From Binyamin: Aḇiḏan, son of Giḏʽoni. (Numbers 1:12)
“From Dan: Aḥiʽezer, son of Ammishaddai. (Numbers 1:13) “From Ashĕr: Paḡʽi’ĕl, son
of Oḵran. (Numbers 1:14) “From Gaḏ: Elyasaph, son of Deu’ĕl. (Numbers 1:15)
“From Naphtali: Aḥira, son of Ěnan.” (Numbers 1:16) These are the ones called
from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, heads of the thousands
of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 1:17) And Mosheh and Aharon took these men, who
were called by name, (Numbers 1:18) and they
assembled the entire congregation together on the first day of the second
month. And they declared their ancestry by clans, by their fathers’ houses,
according to the number of names, from twenty
years old and above, each one head by head. (Numbers 1:19) As יהוה
commanded Mosheh, so he registered them in the Wilderness of Sinai. (Numbers 1:20)
And the children of Re’uḇĕn, Yisra’ĕl’s first-born, their genealogies
by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names,
every male head by head, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to
the army, (Numbers 1:21) those who were registered of the tribe of
Re’uḇĕn were forty-six thousand five hundred. (Numbers 1:22) From the children of

Set Apart- Levites
(Numbers 1:47) But the Lĕwites
were not registered among them by their fathers’ tribe, (Numbers 1:48) because יהוה
had spoken to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 1:49)
“Only the tribe of Lĕwi you do not register, nor take a census of them among
the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 1:50) “Instead, appoint the Lĕwites over the
Dwelling Place of the Witness, over all its furnishings, and over all that
belongs to it. They bear the Dwelling Place and all its furnishings, and they
attend to it, and camp around the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 1:51) “And when the Dwelling
Place is to go forward, the Lĕwites take it down. And when the Dwelling Place
is to be set up, the Lĕwites set it up. And the stranger who comes near is put
to death. (Numbers 1:52) “And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall pitch their tents,
everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own banner, according to their
divisions, (Numbers 1:53)
but
let the Lĕwites camp around the Dwelling Place of the Witness, so that there be
no wrath on the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall
guard the duty of the Dwelling Place of the Witness.” (Numbers 1:54) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to
all that יהוה commanded Mosheh, so they did.
YHWH has ORDER in the camp!
(Numbers 2:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 2:2)
“The children of Yisra’ĕl are to camp, each one by his own banner, beside the
sign of his father’s house. Let them camp around the Tent of Meeting at a
distance.” (Numbers 2:3) And on the east side, towards sunrise: those

divisions of the camps: six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. (Numbers 2:33)
But the Lĕwites were not registered among the children of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה commanded Mosheh. (Numbers 2:34) And the children of
Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה
commanded Mosheh. So they camped by their banners and so they departed, each
one by his clan, according to their fathers’ houses.
Protocol and the Set Apart
(Numbers 3:1) And these are the generations of Aharon and
Mosheh when יהוה spoke with Mosheh on Mount Sinai. (Numbers 3:2)
And these are the names of the sons of Aharon: Naḏaḇ, the first-born,
and Aḇihu, Elʽazar, and Ithamar. (Numbers 3:3) These are the names of the sons of Aharon,
the anointed priests, whom he ordained to act as priests. (Numbers 3:4)
And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu had died before יהוה
when they brought strange fire before יהוה
in the Wilderness of Sinai. And they had no children. So Elʽazar and Ithamar
acted as priests in the presence of Aharon their father. (Numbers 3:5)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Numbers 3:6)
“Bring the tribe of Lĕwi near, and set them before Aharon the priest,
and they shall serve him, (Numbers 3:7) and shall guard his duty and the duty of all
the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling
Place. (Numbers 3:8) “And they shall guard all the furnishings of
the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to do the
service of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:9) “And you shall give the Lĕwites to Aharon and
his sons. They are the given ones, given to him from among the children of
Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 3:10) “And appoint Aharon and his sons, and they
shall guard their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to
death.” (Numbers 3:11) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:12) “Now
look, I myself have taken the Lĕwites from among the children of Yisra’ĕl
instead of every first-born who opens the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl.
And the Lĕwites shall be mine, (Numbers 3:13) because
all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I struck all the first-born in the
land of Mitsrayim, I set apart to
myself all the first-born in Yisra’ĕl, both man and beast. They are Mine, I am יהוה.” (Numbers 3:14) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying, (Numbers 3:15) “Register the children of Lĕwi by their fathers’ houses, by their
clans. Register
every male from a month old and above.” (Numbers 3:16) So Mosheh registered them
according to the word of יהוה, as he had been
commanded. (Numbers 3:17) And these were the sons of Lĕwi by their
names: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. (Numbers 3:18) And these are the names of
the sons of Gĕreshon by their clans: Liḇni and Shimʽi. (Numbers 3:19) and the sons of Qehath by their clans: Amram and
Yitshar, Ḥeḇron and Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:20) And the sons of `- Merari by their clans: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the
clans of the Lĕwites by their fathers’ houses. (Numbers 3:21) From Gĕreshon came the clan
of the Liḇnites and the clan of the Shimʽites. These were the clans of the
Gĕreshonites. (Numbers 3:22) Their registered ones, according to the
number of all the males from a month old and above, their registered ones were
seven thousand five hundred. (Numbers 3:23) The clans of the Gĕreshonites were to camp
westward, behind the Dwelling Place, (Numbers 3:24)
and the leader of the fathers’ house of the Gĕreshonites: Elyasaph, son of
La’ĕl. (Numbers 3:25) And the duty of the children of Gĕreshon in
the Tent of Meeting was the Dwelling Place, and the tent with its covering, and
the covering of the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 3:26) and the screens of the courtyard and the covering of the door of
the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place and the altar, and their
cords, according to all its service. (Numbers 3:27) And from Qehath came the clan of the
Amramites, and the clan of the Yitsharites, and the clan of the Ḥeḇronites,
and the clan of the Uzzi’ĕlites. These were the clans of the Qehathites. (Numbers 3:28)
In number, all the males, from a month old and above, were eight
thousand six hundred, guarding the duty of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:29)
The clans of the children of Qehath were to camp on the south side of
the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:30) The leader of the fathers’ house of the clans
of the Qehathites; was Elitsaphan, son of Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:31) And their duty was the ark,
and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the utensils of the
set-apart place used in the service, and the covering, and all its service. (Numbers 3:32) And Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, was to
be chief over the leaders of the Lĕwites, with oversight of those who guard the
duty of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:33) From Merari came the clan of the Maḥlites
and the clan of the Mushites. These were the clans of Merari. (Numbers 3:34)
The number of their registered ones; all the males from a month old and
above, were six thousand two hundred. (Numbers 3:35) The leader of the fathers’ house of the clans
of Merari; was Tsuri’ĕl, son of Aḇiḥayil. These were to camp on the north
side of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:36) And the appointed duty of the children of
Merari was the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and
its sockets, and its utensils, and all its service, (Numbers 3:37) and the columns of the courtyard all around, with their sockets,
and their pegs, and their cords. (Numbers 3:38) And those who were to camp before the
Dwelling Place on the east, before the Tent of Meeting, were Mosheh and Aharon,
and his sons, guarding the duty of the set-apart place, and the duty of the
children of Yisra’ĕl. But the stranger who came near was to be put to death. (Numbers 3:39)
All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom Mosheh and Aharon
registered at the command of יהוה, by their clans, all
the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand. (Numbers 3:40)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Register all the
first-born males of the children of Yisra’ĕl from a month old and above, and
take the number of their names. (Numbers 3:41) “And you shall take the Lĕwites for Me – I am
יהוה – instead of all the first-born among the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites instead of all the
first-born among the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 3:42)
And Mosheh registered all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl
as יהוה had commanded him. (Numbers 3:43) And all the
first-born males, by the number of names, from one month old and above of their
registered ones, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three. (Numbers 3:44)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:45) “Take the Lĕwites instead of all the
first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites
instead of their livestock. And the Lĕwites shall be Mine, I am יהוה. (Numbers
3:46) “And for the ransom of the two hundred and
seventy-three of the first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who are more than
the number of the Lĕwites, (Numbers 3:47) you shall take five sheqels for each one,
head by head – take it by the sheqel of the set-apart place, the sheqel of
twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 3:48) “And you shall give the silver, the ransom of
those who are in excess among them, to Aharon and his sons.” (Numbers 3:49)
And Mosheh took the ransom silver from those who were over and above
those who were ransomed by the Lĕwites. (Numbers 3:50) From the first-born of the children of
Yisra’ĕl he took the silver, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five pieces,
according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:51) And Mosheh gave their
ransom silver to Aharon, and to his sons, according to the word of יהוה, as יהוה
had commanded Mosheh.
More Protocol
(Numbers 4:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 4:2) “Take a census of the sons of Qehath from
among the children of Lĕwi, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:3)
from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter
the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:4) “This is the service of the
sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting, the most set-apart matters: (Numbers 4:5) “At the breaking of camp, Aharon and
his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the
ark of the Witness with it, (Numbers 4:6) and
shall put on it a covering of fine leather, and spread over that an all-blue
wrapper, and shall insert its poles. (Numbers 4:7) “And on the table of showbread they shall
spread a blue wrapper, and shall put on it the dishes, and the ladles, and the
bowls, and the jars for pouring, and the showbread on it. (Numbers 4:8)
“And they shall spread over them a scarlet wrapper, and cover the same
with a covering of fine leather, and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:9)
and shall take a blue wrapper and cover the lampstand of the light, with
its lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, and all its oil vessels, by which
they serve it. (Numbers 4:10) “And they shall put it with all its utensils
in a covering of fine leather, and put it on a bar. (Numbers 4:11) “And over the golden altar
they shall spread a blue wrapper, and cover it with a covering of fine leather,
and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:12) and shall take all the utensils of service
with which they serve in the set-apart place, and shall put them in a blue
wrapper, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on a bar, (Numbers 4:13)
and shall remove the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple wrapper
over it, (Numbers 4:14) and shall put on it all its utensils by which
they serve there: the fire holders, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins,
and all the utensils of the altar, and shall spread on it a covering of fine
leather, and insert its poles. (Numbers 4:15) “And when Aharon and his sons have finished
covering the set-apart objects and all the furnishings of the Set-apart
Place at the breaking of camp, then the sons of Qehath shall come to lift them,
but let them not touch that which is set-apart, lest they die. These matters
are the burden of the sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:16)
“And the oversight of Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, is the oil for
the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily grain offering, and the
anointing oil, and the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and all that is in
it, with the set-apart place and its furnishings.” (Numbers 4:17) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 4:18)
“Do not cut off the tribe of the clans of the Qehathites from among the
Lĕwites, (Numbers 4:19) but do this to them,
and they shall live and not die when they approach the most set-apart objects:
Aharon and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his
burden. (Numbers 4:20) “They are not, however, to go in to watch
while the set-apart objects are being covered, lest they die.”
Put away whoring which is adultery is
idolatry to YHWH. He removes them “In That Day” a Hebrew Idiom for the Day of
YHWH’s vengeance- Jacob’s Trouble- The Day of the Lord!
(Hosea 2:1) “Say to your brothers, ‘O my people,’ and to
your sisters, ‘O, compassioned one.’ (Hosea 2:2) “Strive with your mother, strive, for she is
not my wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her whoring from her face, and her
adulteries from between her breasts, (Hosea 2:3) lest I strip her naked, and
shall set her up as on the day she was born, and shall make her like a
wilderness, and shall set her like a dry land, and shall put her to death with
thirst. (Hosea 2:4) “And I shall not have compassion on her
children, for they are the children of whorings. (Hosea 2:5) “For their mother has
whored, she who conceived them has acted shamelessly. For she said, ‘I go after
my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and
my drink. Hosea 2:6) “Therefore, see, I am
hedging up your way with thorns, and I shall wall her in, so that she does not
find her paths. (Hosea 2:7) “And she shall pursue her lovers but not
overtake them, and shall seek them but not find them. Then she shall say, ‘Let
me go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’ (Hosea 2:8)
“And she did not acknowledge that I gave her grain, and new wine, and
oil, and increased her silver and gold which they prepared for Baʽal.
(Hos 2:9) “Therefore I shall turn back and
shall take my grain in its time and My new wine in its season, and I shall take
away My wool and My linen covering her nakedness. (Hos 2:10) “And now I shall uncover
her shame before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from my
hand. (Hosea 2:11) “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her
festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to
cease, (Hosea 2:12) and lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of
which she has said, ‘these are my rewards that my lovers have given me.’ And I
shall make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. (Hosea 2:13)
“And I shall punish her for the days of the Baʽals to which she burned
incense and adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and went after her
lovers, and forgot Me,” declares יהוה. (Hosea 2:14)
“Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the
wilderness, and shall speak to her heart, (Hosea 2:15)
and give to her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Aḵor as a door of
expectation. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the
day when she came up from the land of Mitsrayim. (Hosea 2:16) “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you
call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘My Baʽal.’ (Hos 2:17)
“And I shall remove the names of the Baʽals from her mouth, and they
shall no more be remembered by their name. (Hosea 2:18) “And in that day I shall
make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of
the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and
sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in
safety. (Hosea 2:19) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me
forever, and take you as a bride unto me in righteousness, and in right-ruling,
and kindness and compassion. (Hosea 2:20) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me in
trustworthiness, and you shall know יהוה.
(Hosea 2:21)
“And it shall be in that day that I answer,” Declares יהוה, “that I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth, (Hosea 2:22) and the earth answer the grain and the
new wine and the oil, and they answer Yizreʽĕl. (Hosea 2:23) “And I shall sow her for
myself in the earth, and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained
compassion. And I shall say to those who were not my people, ‘You are my
people,’ while they say, ‘My Elohim!’ ”
FAMILY GIFTS are for the benefit of others- let’s receive them and walk in
these!
YHWH does NOT want us ignorant concerning spiritual
gifts—let’s not remain ignorant- but study and show ourselves approved- rightly
dividing the Word of Truth! Yahshua has given us His power to trample on snakes
and scorpions (All the demonic realm
opposing us with stormy facts) and OVERCOME all the power of the
enemy! So
let’s read and receive power! Honestly, the more we read and believe and
DO- the more we will be trusted and trust Him that we may DO His works on the
earth. These are given (NOT for
self-exaltation or our own benefit) for the benefit of others as the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) wills and intends. Nine gifts! Let’s consider carefully who we ascribe
these gifts to. To assign the works of the Ruach to works of hasatan is called “Blaspheming the Set Apart-Ruach” and
will NOT be forgiven- in this age OR in the age to come! No one can make us
receive these- YOU AND I MUST BE OPEN TO BE
USED AND HUNGRY FOR TRUTH!
(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 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, (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-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 unknown 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. (1Co 12:12) For as the body is one and has many members,
but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the
Messiah. (1Co 12:13) For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed
into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were
all made to drink into one Spirit. (1Co 12:14) For indeed the body is not one member but
many. (1Co 12:15) If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I
do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:16)
And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the
body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:17) If all the body was an
eye, where would be the hearing? If all the body hearing, where would be the
smelling? (1Co 12:18) But now Elohim has set the members, each one
of them, in the body, even as He pleased. (1Co 12:19) And if they all had been one member, where
would the body be? (1Co 12:20) And now, there are indeed many members, but
one body.
Loved One,
my prayer for you and I is that we humble ourselves by our own free will and hunger
and thirst for His power to help us help others in the days ahead- which will
soon enough be upon us called “Jacob’s Trouble”. I pray that we do exploits in
His name and FEAR NOT! Hallelu-Yah- it is time we draw nearer than ever to our
coming King!
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 Yehuḏite 1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22
