12, 2014
Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! (Most
of us will celebrate Passover this
coming SUNDAY AT SUNDOWN; Remember to remove all leaven- breads, crackers,
yeast, baking soda, etc. from your home!
This week’s Torah
Study and the Passover Seder, and hopefully; the NEW ANNUAL TORAH CYCLE, (I
finished last week- just would not attach for some unknown reason—format?) are attached
for printing and available at the website below)

Today will be a very different Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! Since it is nearly PASSOVER and the start of UNLEAVENED BREAD
week we remove the leaven from our houses and we also inspect our own lives and
remove leaven and the habits of sin by repenting before our King and THE
Passover Lamb. I have included this LINK for a Passover Seder in this week’s study by my Cousin Eddie
Rogers’ work for a great Passover Seder-(Please disregard the “beanies” on the
heads of children in the picture- in my
opinion they are UN-biblical but you will enjoy his link and information!) much,
if not all of the rabbinical adds are removed. Click here for the Torah Cycle for 2014-2015
Again, some have asked why we are on a
different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox. For
me it is about restoration of all things- which sometimes means 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, YHWH forbid that goofy thinking, 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 YAHUAH’S 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 who are still scattered for Easter and sun god
day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look once again together;
(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 from here forward!) Ten men (Ten tribes
scattered) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
Here’s a quick reminder of who we are Loved One- WE ARE the dry bones
coming together that we may live! Hallelu-YAH!
(Ezekiel 37:1) The hand
of יהוה was upon me and took me out by the Spirit
of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the
valley. And it was filled with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2) And He made me pass among them, all around,
and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were
very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3) And He said to me, “Son of man, would these
bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה,
you know.” (Ezekiel 37:4) Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones
and you shall say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5) ‘Thus said the Master יהוה
to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6)
“And I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you
with skin and put a spirit in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that
I am יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel
37:7) and I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there
was a noise, and there was a rattling. And the bones came together, bone to
bone. (Ezekiel 37:8) And I looked and saw sinews and flesh came
upon them, and skin covered them, but there was no spirit in them. (Ezekiel 37:9)
He then said to me, “Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and
you shall say to the spirit, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,
“Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, so that they
live.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 37:10) and I prophesied as
He commanded me, and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood upon
their feet, a very great army. (Ezekiel 37:11) And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones
are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See, they
say, ‘Our bones are dry, our
expectancy (hope) has perished, and we ourselves have been
cut off!’ (Ezekiel 37:12) “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to
them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O my people, I
am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your graves, and shall
bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 37:13) “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from
your graves. (Ezekiel 37:14) “And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you
shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares
יהוה.’ ”
Perhaps there are times in your walk with our coming King
you have felt overwhelmed and dry as the dry bones above. I can empathize,
these days have been filled with much testing- a humbling if you will. There
are serious battle arrays drawn against you. Against us all- understand the enemy
of your soul is filled with anger because he knows his time is short- we all
know that but would prefer to skip the harsh reality of that experience.
Consider the passage above as Yahweh hears us saying—our bones are dry—we are overwhelmed and without hope…we
also know that faith or trust and believing for Yahweh’s promise- is made
from hope.
Hebrews 11:1 and belief (faith-trust) is the
substance of what is expected (hoped for),
the proof of what is not seen. Hebrews 11:2 for
by this the elders obtained witness. Hebrews 11:3
By belief (faith-trust), we understand that the ages were prepared
by the word of Elohim, so that what is seen was not made of what is visible…Hebrews 11:6 But without belief (faith-trust) it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to
believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.
Naturally,
we all want to skip the trials and heartaches and troubles associated with
them- but we have an enemy who hates us- I mean hates us—and is doing all he
can to overwhelm us in his plans to steal, kill and destroy. The warning and
teaching above about dry bones to us who have been dry bones with worthless
religion and those practices which have been added and subtracted from
Scripture is to change what we SAY about matters. Yes the storms are real—but
Yahshua OVERCAME and we can also (It was
paid for in full and He made an open show or spectacle of the devil and
destroyed all his works and schemes against us) if we agree with our King’s
words on the matter or trial at hand. I am not saying the enemy will leave you
alone- because the only way that will happen is if you are dead or useless to
the kingdom. Remember the scripture in Amos that tells us “Two cannot walk together except they are agreed”—well
that applies to us and our walk with Yahshua. He told me one time- “He would not follow me—I would have to follow Him!” That
sounds almost ridiculous that He would have to say that but He made His point-
I will have to agree with Him no matter the storm and it saying otherwise!
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the
man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong (wicked),
And shall not stand in the path of sinners, and shall not sit in the seat of
scoffers, Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה, and he meditates in His Torah day and night. Psalm 1:3 for he shall be as a tree Planted by the rivers of water
that yields its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither, and
whatever he does prospers. Psalm 1:4 the wrong (wicked) are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind blows
away. Psalm 1:5 Therefore the wrong shall not
rise in the judgment, or sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psalm 1:6 for יהוה
knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wrong (sinner) comes to naught.
Therefore-
we are BLESSED Loved One! We can and will OVERCOME as we guard our tongues and
continue to remind the enemy of TRUTH and never give up speaking righteously
His promises- He is faithful! We remind the enemy he is a liar and loser. We
praise our King ad give Him thanks- not for all things- but IN all things! Today
we start our study at week 2 of the beginning of months as our first week of
the Torah Cycle RESTART was last week. Remember to remove all leaven-
physically and spiritually this week as we have an appointment with the RISEN
KING! Keep His Passover and be blessed- make it what it really is- a wonderful
time of fellowship of Him and a real reminder of the vast power of His blood
over all the power of the enemy. We overcome by the power of His blood and our
testimony—but forget not that without fiery trials and testing- there can be no
testimony! Praise His Set Apart Name!
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures:
Noach – Noah or Rest
Genesis 6:9- 11:32; Isaiah 54:1-55:5; 1
Peter 3:18-22
Passover Scriptures: Exodus 33:12-34:26; Numbers
28:19-25; Ezekiel 36:37-37:14
(Genesis 6:9) This is the genealogy of Noaḥ.
Noaḥ was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noaḥ walked with
Elohim. (Genesis 6:10) And Noaḥ brought forth three sons: Shĕm,
Ḥam, and Yepheth. (Genesis 6:11) And the earth was corrupt before Elohim, and
the earth was filled with violence. (Genesis 6:12) And Elohim looked upon the earth and saw that
it was corrupt – for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth – (Genesis 6:13) and Elohim said to Noaḥ, “The end of all flesh has come before me,
for the earth is filled with violence through them. And see, I am going to
destroy them from the earth. (Genesis 6:14) “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make
rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with tar. (Genesis 6:15)
“And this is how you are to make it: The length of the ark is three
hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. (Genesis 6:16)
“Make a window for the ark, and complete it to a cubit from above. And
set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third
decks. (Genesis 6:17) “And see, I myself am bringing floodwaters on
the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the
heavens – all that is on the earth is to die.
Covenant
(Genesis 6:18) “And I shall establish my covenant with
you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your
sons’ wives with you. (Genesis 6:19) “And of all the living creatures of all
flesh, two of each, you are to bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you
– a male and a female. (Genesis 6:20) “Of the birds after their kind, and of the
cattle after their kind, and of all creeping creatures of the earth after their
kind, two of each is to come to you, to keep them alive. (Genesis 6:21)
“As for you, take of all food that is eaten and gather it to yourself.
And it shall be food for you and for them.” (Genesis
6:22) And Noaḥ did according to
all that Elohim commanded him, so he did.
7 pairs of clean beasts (Not 2)
(Genesis 7:1) And יהוה said to Noaḥ,
“Come into the ark, you and your entire household, because I have seen that you
are righteous before me in this generation. (Genesis
7:2) “Of all the clean beasts
take with you seven pairs, a male and his female; and of the beasts that are
unclean two, a male and his female; (Genesis 7:3)
and of birds of the heavens seven pairs, male and female, to keep offspring
alive on the face of all the earth. (Genesis 7:4) “For after seven more days I am sending rain
on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the
earth all that stand that I created.” (Genesis 7:5) And Noaḥ did according to all that יהוה commanded him. (Genesis
7:6) Now Noaḥ was six hundred
years old when the flood-waters were on the earth. (Genesis
7:7) And Noaḥ and his sons and
his wife and his sons’ wives went into the ark because of the waters of the
flood. (Genesis 7:8) Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that
are unclean, and of birds, and of all that creep on the earth, (Genesis 7:9) two by two they went into the ark to
Noaḥ, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noaḥ. (Genesis
7:10) And it came to be after
seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. (Genesis 7:11)
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep
were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened. (Genesis 7:12)
And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. (Genesis 7:13)
On that same day Noaḥ and Shĕm and Ḥam and Yepheth, the sons of Noaḥ,
and Noaḥ’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark, (Genesis 7:14) they and every living creature after
its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that
creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird
of every sort. (Genesis 7:15) And they went into the ark to Noaḥ, two by
two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. (Genesis
7:16) And those going in, male
and female of all flesh went in as Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה shut him in. (Genesis 7:17) And the flood was on the earth forty days,
and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it raised high above the
earth. (Genesis 7:18) And the waters were mighty and greatly
increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. (Genesis 7:19)
And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high
mountains under all the heavens were covered. (Genesis
7:20) The waters became mighty,
fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. (Genesis
7:21) And all flesh died that moved on the earth – birds and cattle and
beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.
(Genesis 7:22)
All in whose nostrils was the
breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died. (Genesis 7:23)
So He wiped off all that stand which was on the face of the ground – man
and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off
from the earth. And only Noaḥ was left
and those with him in the ark. (Genesis 7:24) And
the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.
Note: Ark settled to rest on Ararat
in Turkey the second day of Tabernacles
(Genesis 8:1) And Elohim remembered Noaḥ,
and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And Elohim
made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. (Genesis 8:2)
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were
stopped, and the rain from the heavens was withheld. (Genesis
8:3) And the waters receded
steadily from the earth, and at the end of the hundred and fifty days the
waters diminished. (Genesis 8:4) And in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the
month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. (Genesis 8:5)
And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month. In the tenth
month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
(Genesis 8:6)
And it came to be, at the end of forty days, that Noaḥ opened the
window of the ark which he had made, (Genesis 8:7) and he sent out a raven, which kept going out
and turning back until the waters had dried up from the earth. (Genesis 8:8)
Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters had receded from
the face of the ground. (Genesis 8:9) But the dove found no resting place for its
feet and returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of all
the earth. So he put out his hand and took it, and pulled it into the ark to
himself. (Genesis 8:10) And he waited yet another seven days, and
again he sent the dove out from the ark. (Genesis
8:11) And the dove came to him in
the evening, and see, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. And Noaḥ
knew that the waters had receded from the earth. (Genesis
8:12) And he waited yet another
seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return to him again. (Genesis 8:13)
And it came to be in the six hundred and first year, in the first month,
the first day of the month that the waters were dried up from the earth. And
Noaḥ removed the covering of the ark and looked, and saw the surface of the
ground was dry. (Genesis 8:14) And in the second month, on the
twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. (Genesis
8:15) And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ,
saying, (Genesis 8:16) “Go out of the ark, you
and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. (Genesis 8:17)
“Bring out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you:
of birds, of cattle and all creeping creatures that creep on the earth. And let
them teem on the earth and bear and increase on the earth.” (Genesis 8:18)
So Noaḥ went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with
him, (Genesis 8:19) every beast, every creeping
creature, and every bird, whatever creeps on the earth, according to their
kinds, went out of the ark. (Genesis 8:20) And Noaḥ built an altar to יהוה, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and
offered burnt offerings on the altar. (Genesis 8:21) And יהוה
smelled a soothing fragrance, and יהוה
said in His heart, “Never again shall I curse the ground because of man,
although the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and never again
smite all living creatures, as I have done, (Genesis
8:22) as long as the earth remains,
seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and
night shall not cease.” (Comment:
we’ll always have a way to grow our food!)
Do not eat flesh with BLOOD! Note
His covenant is still in effect as we still have RAINBOWS!
(Genesis 9:1) And Elohim blessed Noaḥ
and his sons, and said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth. (Genesis 9:2)
“And the fear of you and the dread of you is on every beast of the
earth, on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on
all the fish of the sea – into your hand they have been given. (Genesis 9:3)
“Every moving creature that lives is food for you. I have given you all,
as I gave the green plants. (Genesis 9:4) “But
do not eat flesh with its life, its blood. (Genesis
9:5) “But only your blood for
your lives I require, from the hand of every beast I require it, and from the
hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I require the life of man. (Genesis 9:6)
“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood is shed, for in the image
of Elohim has He made man. (Genesis 9:7) “As for you, bear fruit and increase, bring forth
teemingly in the earth and increase in it.” (Genesis
9:8) And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ
and to his sons with him, saying, (Genesis 9:9)
“And I see, I establish my covenant with
you and with your seed after you, (Genesis 9:10)
and with every living creature that is
with you: of the birds, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with
you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. (Genesis 9:11)
“And I shall establish my
covenant with you, and never again is all flesh cut off by the waters of the
flood, and never again is there a flood to destroy the earth.” (Genesis 9:12)
And Elohim said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me
and you, and every living creature that is with you, for all generations to
come: (Genesis
9:13) “I
shall set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant
between me and the earth. (Genesis 9:14) “And it shall be,
when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the
cloud, (Genesis 9:15) and I shall
remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of
all flesh, and never again let the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh. (Genesis 9:16)
“And the rainbow shall be in the cloud, and
I shall see it, to remember the everlasting covenant between Elohim and every
living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:17)
And Elohim said to Noaḥ, “This is the sign
of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on
the earth.” (Genesis 9:18) And the sons of Noaḥ who went out of the ark
were Shĕm and Ḥam and Yepheth. And Ḥam was the father of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 9:19) these three were the sons of Noaḥ,
and all the earth was overspread from them. (Genesis
9:20) And Noaḥ, a man of the
soil, began and planted a vineyard.
No wonder we are commanded to NOT GET DRUNK but be filled
with His RUACH!
(Genesis 9:21) And he drank of
the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. (Genesis 9:22)
And Ḥam, the father of Kenaʽan, saw the nakedness of his father, and
told his two brothers outside. (Genesis 9:23) So Shĕm and Yepheth took a garment, laid it
on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their
father, but their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s
nakedness. (Genesis 9:24) And Noaḥ awoke from his wine, and he knew
what his younger son had done to him, (Genesis 9:25)
and he said, “Cursed
is Kenaʽan, let him become a servant of servants to his brothers.” (Genesis 9:26)
And he said, “Blessed be יהוה, the Elohim of
Shĕm, and let Kenaʽan become his servant. (Genesis
9:27) “Let Elohim enlarge
Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shĕm. And let Kenaʽan become his
servant.” (Genesis 9:28) And Noaḥ lived after the flood three hundred
and fifty years. (Genesis 9:29) So all the days of Noaḥ were nine hundred
and fifty years, and he died.
Note that Nimrod came from the line
of the cursed!
(Genesis 10:1) And this is the genealogy of the sons of Noaḥ:
Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. (Genesis 10:2)
The sons of Yepheth: Gomer, and Maḡoḡ, and
Maḏai, and Yawan, and Tuḇal, and Mesheḵ, and Tiras. (Genesis
10:3) And the sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Toḡarmah. (Genesis 10:4) And the sons of Yawan: Elishah and Tarshish,
Kittim and Doḏanim. (Genesis 10:5) from these
the coast land peoples of the nations were separated into their lands, everyone
according to his language, according to their clans, into their nations. (Genesis 10:6)
And the sons of Ḥam: Kush, and Mitsrayim, and Put, and Kenaʽan. (Genesis 10:7) and the sons of Kush: Seḇa, and
Ḥawilah, and Saḇtah, and Raʽmah, and Saḇteḵa. And the sons of Raʽmah:
Sheḇa and Deḏan. (Genesis 10:8) And Kush
brought forth Nimroḏ, he began to be a mighty one on the earth. (Genesis 10:9)
He
was a mighty hunter before יהוה,
therefore it is said, “Like Nimroḏ the mighty hunter before יהוה.” (Genesis 10:10) And the beginning of his reign was Baḇel,
and Ereḵ, and Akkaḏ, and Kalnĕh, in the land of Shinʽar. (Genesis 10:11) from that land he went to Ashshur and
built Ninewĕh, and Reḥoḇoth Ir, and Kelaḥ, (Genesis
10:12) and Resen between Ninewĕh and Kelaḥ, the great city. (Genesis 10:13)
And Mitsrayim brought forth Luḏim, and Anamim, and Lehaḇim, and
Naphtuḥim, (Genesis 10:14) and Pathrusim, and
Kasluḥim, from whom came the Philistines and Kaphtorim. (Genesis 10:15)
And Kenaʽan brought forth Tsiḏon his first-born, and Ḥĕth, (Genesis 10:16) and the Yeḇusite, and the Amorite,
and the Girgashite, (Genesis 10:17) and the
Ḥiwwite, and the Arqite, and the Sinite, (Genesis
10:18) and the Arwaḏite, and the Tsemarite, and the Ḥamathite. And
afterward the clans of the Kenaʽanites were spread abroad. (Genesis 10:19)
And the border of the Kenaʽanites was from Tsiḏon as you go toward
Gerar, as far as Azzah, as you go toward Seḏom, and Amorah, and Aḏmah, and
Tseḇoyim, as far as Lasha. (Genesis 10:20) These were the sons of Ḥam, according to
their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations. (Genesis 10:21)
And also to Shĕm, the father of all the children of Ěḇer, the brother
of Yepheth the elder, children were born. (Genesis
10:22) The sons of Shĕm: Ěylam,
and Asshur, and Arpaḵshaḏ, and Luḏ, and Aram. (Genesis
10:23) And the sons of Aram: Uts,
and Ḥul, and Gether, and Mash. (Genesis 10:24) And Arpaḵshaḏ brought forth Shelaḥ, and
Shelaḥ brought forth Ěḇer. (Genesis 10:25) And to Ěḇer were born two sons, the name of
one was Peleḡ, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name
was Yoqtan. (Genesis 10:26) And Yoqtan brought forth Almoḏaḏ, and
Sheleph, and Ḥatsarmaweth, and Yeraḥ, (Genesis 10:27)
and Haḏoram, and Uzal, and Diqlah, (Genesis 10:28)
and Oḇal, and Aḇima’ĕl, and Sheḇa, (Genesis 10:29)
and Ophir, and Ḥawilah, and Yoḇaḇ. All these were sons of Yoqtan. (Genesis 10:30)
And their dwelling place was from Mĕysha as you go toward Sephar, a
mountain of the east. (Genesis 10:31) These were the sons of Shĕm, according to
their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their
nations. (Genesis 10:32) These were the clans of the sons of Noaḥ,
according to their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations
were divided on the earth after the flood.
One language; I expect that was
HEBREW!
(Genesis 11:1) And all the earth had one language1 and one speech. Footnote: 1Hebrew lip (Genesis 11:2) And it came to be, as they set out
from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinʽar1, and they dwelt there.
Footnote: 1Earlier name for Baḇel (Genesis 11:3) And they said to each other, “Come,
let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and
they had asphalt for mortar. (Genesis 11:4) And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves
a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves,
lest we be scattered over all the face of the earth.” (Genesis
11:5) Then יהוה came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men
had built. (Genesis 11:6) And יהוה
said, “Look, they are one people and they all have one language, and this is what
they begin to do! And now, they are not going to be withheld from doing
whatever they plan to do. (Genesis 11:7) “Come, let Us go there and confuse their
language, so that they do not understand one another’s speech.” (Genesis 11:8)
And יהוה scattered them from there, over the face
of all the earth and they left off building the city. (Genesis
11:9) That
is why its name was called Baḇel1, because there יהוה confused the
language of all the earth, and from there יהוה scattered them over the face of all the
earth. Footnote:
1Baḇel is derived from a verb which means “to confuse". (Genesis 11:10)
This is the genealogy of Shĕm: Shĕm was a hundred years old and brought

Sing- all our children (Those
of us with a Covenant through the shed blood of the Passover Lamb- Yahushua-
Jesus) will be taught of Yahuah (YHWH) No weapon will work against us-
HalleluYAH!
(Isaiah 54:1) “Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear!
Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For
the children of the deserted one are more than the children of the married
woman,” said יהוה. (Isaiah 54:2) “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them
stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not. Lengthen your cords, and
strengthen your stakes. (Isaiah 54:3) “For you shall break forth to the right and
to the left, and your seed inherit the nations, and make the deserted cities
inhabited. (Isaiah 54:4) “Do not fear, for you shall not be put to
shame, nor hurt, you shall not be humiliated. For the shame of your youth you
shall forget, and not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more. (Isaiah 54:5)
“For your Maker is your husband, יהוה
of hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl is your Redeemer. He is
called the Elohim of all the earth. (Isaiah 54:6) “For יהוה
has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of
youth when you were refused,” declares your Elohim. (Isaiah
54:7) “For a little while I have
forsaken you, but with great compassion I shall gather you. (Isaiah 54:8) “In
an overflow of wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting
kindness I shall have compassion on you,” said יהוה,
your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:9) “For this is the waters of Noaḥ to Me, in
that I have sworn that the waters of Noaḥ would never again cover the earth,
so have I sworn not to be wroth with you, nor to rebuke you. (Isaiah 54:10)
“For though the mountains be removed and the hills be shaken, my
kindness is not removed from you, nor is my covenant of peace shaken,” said יהוה, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:11)
“O you afflicted one, tossed with storm, and not comforted, see, I am
setting your stones in antimony, and shall lay your foundations with sapphires,
(Isaiah 54:12) and shall make your battlements
of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones, (Isaiah 54:13) and all your
children taught by יהוה, and the peace of your children great. (Isaiah 54:14)
“In
righteousness you shall be established – far from oppression, for you shall not
fear, and far from ruin, for it does not come near you. (Isaiah 54:15)
“See, they shall indeed assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever shall
assemble against you falls for your sake! (Isaiah
54:16) “See, I myself have
created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an
instrument for his work. And I have created the waster to destroy. (Isaiah 54:17)
“No weapon formed against you shall
prosper, and every tongue which raises against you in judgment you shall prove
wrong. This is the inheritance of the servants of יהוה, and their righteousness from me,”
declares יהוה. (Isaiah 55:1) “Oh
everyone who thirsts, come to the waters. And you who have no silver, come, buy
and eat. Come; buy wine and milk without silver and without price. (Isaiah 55:2)
“Why do you weigh out silver for what is not bread, and your labor for
what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and let your
being delight itself in fatness. (Isaiah 55:3) “Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, so that
your being lives. And let me make an everlasting covenant with you, the
trustworthy kindnesses of Dawiḏ. (Isaiah
55:4) “See, I have given Him as a
witness to the people, a Leader and a Commander for the people. (Isaiah 55:5)
“See, a nation you do not know you shall call, and a nation who does not
know you run to you, because of יהוה your Elohim,
and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, for He has adorned you.”
Yahushua suffered our transgressions
as the perfect Lamb for Passover and as the High Priest presented the sampling
of the resurrection (Himself first) as the FIRST FRUITS OFFERING to the Father!
(1 Peter 3:18) Because even Messiah
once suffered for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to
Elohim,1 having been put to death indeed in flesh but made
alive in the Spirit, Footnote: 1Rom. 5:18. (1 Peter 3:19)
in which also He went and proclaimed unto the spirits in prison, (1 Peter 3:20)
who were disobedient at one time when the patience of Elohim waited in
the days of Noaḥ, while the ark was being
prepared, in which a few, that is, eight beings, were saved through water, (1 Peter 3:21)
which figure now also saves us: immersion – not a putting away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward Elohim – through
the resurrection of יהושע Messiah, (1 Peter
3:22) who, having gone into
heaven, is at the right hand of Elohim, messengers and authorities and powers
having been subjected to Him.
Loved
One, I pray you have a blessed Passover and a time of checking ourselves for
leaven (SIN) this week as we remove all bread and leaven from our houses and
lives! Also, so that we are not judged by our Heavenly Father that we may truly
JUDGE OURSELVES! That we may each repent quickly wherever we miss and stumble,
and the snares set by hasatan- all miss us. I further pray we ALWAYS forgive
and speak forgiveness and blessings on those who do and have done evil against
us. They need our love of the Father (Our obedience) to break forth and come to
our King! This is how they will recognize us; that we have love for one another
and our King! It is the LOVE of YHWH that draws men to repentance- not our knowledge!
Loved One, I pray YOU and I make
every effort to love the Creator according to His desires and not our learned
ones that are filled with pagan ritual both in Churchianity and Judaism. Keep His Passover as best you can! I pray you gain an ear to
hear Him and the courage to obey Him! Thanks
for your continued prayers for Billie and me- they are cherished- and again; we
thank you!
Shalom
to your heart and home Loved One!
