Shabbat Shalom Loved
One!
SHALOM LOVED ONES- here’s a short view of what was written to
believers just added to our weekly study! Obviously many precious truth-searchers are being awakened to
return to the roots of our faith, BEFORE we must stand in front of Him. His mercy and goodness endures forever- HalleluYAH!
Shalom! Well it is
obvious you are truth searchers and I welcome you as we study the scriptures
from the roots of our faith; trying to better understand the culture and idioms
used. This is last week's study and I will do a new one (Yahweh willing) Friday. I hope you enjoy our weekly
study--please understand- you don't have to agree with everything I believe.
Sometimes we are required to lose all our doctrine if it disagrees with
scripture- no matter how normal and habitual it may have come as a tradition or
culture. Yahshua warned us all that our traditions may hold us accountable
before our coming KING! This was to the Jews of His day who added to what was
written often. They believed they sat in the seat of Moses and had every right
to change to fit their times. Shocking ... their blindness? Hmm...well surprise
as Christians we have added and inherited many non-biblical traditions
also--they are not from the Bible but we have believed they were good and
desired by Him also. They are not! Problem is- when we add to or take away from
His words/instructions, we no longer have His word.
He warns us- do not add or diminish my
word/commands/instructions! Then Yahshua tells us (whoever does this) in the Gospels..."You
worship me in VAIN! Teaching as my doctrines (Doings) the commands of men!" There
may be some things we also need to repent of before we must stand and give
account before Him! We have to determine whether we would rather fit in with our
traditions and family/friends or be acceptable to Him. The Good News is: We all
get to choose for ourselves! Blessings to you LOVED ONE! Let's do our best to
rightly divide the word of truth. Our Messiah is full of grace and mercy- the
exact representation of the Father!
Last week we added ONLY BELIEVE to our arsenal of vital requirements
of our continued submission to our King and His word (TORAH) ---anyone YOU and
I need to forgive still? We must get rid of unbelief to ONLY BELIEVE and lack
of forgiveness blocks that process- ESPECIALLY if we want our prayers to be
effective- which is our topic this week!
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU AND I- despite the enemy’s plan!
Thank you truly
for all the wonderful prayers and kind acts and words for us! About this same time a few years ago- several of us got
together and spent time worshipping and praying! During the three-hour time of
intense private prayer and worship we discovered something identical we (at least the 3
men present) had heard from YHWH! An identical message I will reveal shortly! This
should reassure us all that as we seek our Father’s heart and of course, the
very desires of our King Yahshua; no plan of hell will succeed- Isaiah 54:17
will indeed be a reality! Many of you know some 25 years ago- I- in anger
confronted the Lord about that Scripture…here’s the dialogue for your benefit-
(Isa 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.
Yes I realize that particular
promise seems too good to be true- but when I explain my heart’s cry 25 years
ago- then I will share what we 3 were told over the last year and a
half—exactly the same words- all three of us! None of us knew what the others
had been told but was revealed as we worshipped last night! Okay so here was my
contention and wrestling with YHWH-
(Praise Him for His mercy ad goodness!)…
Lord- that Scripture should not even be in the Bible- it’s not true!” Yahshua responded quickly- “I destroyed the
works of hell!” I replied- “What?
How can you even say that- with all the attacks against so many of us believing
Christians?” Yahshua responded a
second time, “I
destroyed the works of hell!”
I replied with a question again- “You destroyed the works of hell- how can
you even say that with so many of us with cancers, disease, divorces, lost
jobs, bankrupt companies? If that is true – how come so many of us are
experiencing all sorts of torment- if you really destroyed the works of hell?”
His reply was quick, somewhat stern; yet still full of love and compassion! “I destroyed the works of hell but I did NOT destroy
your tongues! satan has no power of his own- he only steals yours with sending
you the storm and evil facts! You agree with hell as though the storm is more
than factual- you report it as a believed TRUTH! Son, what is seen is temporal
or temporary, but although heaven and earth will pass – my words are truth and
will remain- if you agree with hell with your own words- I stand down- because
you have believed the lie. The power of LIFE and DEATH are in your tongue and
you will indeed eat its fruit! - hasatan really has NO power of his own- he
just steals yours!” Agree with the 2 spies and not the 10- yes there will be
giants in the land- but DO NOT agree with them having any power to stay or
overcome you- STAND FIRM and buy from me gold that is refined I the fire by
what you speak- FAITH and TRUST in my spoken word- this is why I renamed Abram
to Abraham- so he would continually speak my desires until he believed and the
promise (the thing hoped for) could come forth- ABRAHAM- Means FATHER
OF MANY NATIONS and indeed is, was, and will be TRUTH!”
(Pro 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the
tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
With that correction
directly from Yahshua in mind- here is the very same term Yahshua spoke to each
of us three at various times during the last year and a half- these spoken
words to us- some through prophetic friends and other through direct hearing-
so relax and draw near to our KING- we can really really FEAR NOT!
“When the
enemy comes against you with overwhelming power and evil intent- you will
speak- and they will turn to dust in front of you- like when Elijah
spoke to the hundred soldiers sent by the evil king twice and they all died!”
Why MUST you know this?
Because this is who you are and will become as the 2 witnesses in HIS HAND-
JUDAH and EPHRAIM! Hallelu-Yah- draw near! We will (And must) become the
manifested sons and daughters of the Most High- we must walk in His manifested
presence to overcome and ONLY BELIEVE as we discussed last week.
Today we address the effectual fervent prayers of
the righteous- OUR PRAYERS!
First
let’s look at The Scriptures version:
(James 5:16) Confess your trespasses
to one another, and pray for one another, so that you are healed. The earnest
prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much. (James
5:17) Ěliyahu was a man with
feelings like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain. And it did
not rain on the land for three years and six months. (James
5:18) And he prayed again, and
the heaven gave rain, and the land brought forth its fruit. (James 5:19)
Brothers, if anyone among you goes astray from the truth, and someone
turns him back, (James 5:20) let him know that
he who turns a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a life from death
and cover a great number of sins.
Now let’s
look also at the KJV: (James 5:16) Confess (Acknowledge)
your faults one to another, and pray one
for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
(James 5:17)
Elias (Elijah) was a man
subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not
rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six
months. (James 5:18) And he prayed again, and the heaven gave
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. (James
5:19) Brethren, if any of you do
err from the truth, and one convert him; (James 5:20)
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way
shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
I want us to consider a few points about this
teaching given us by Ya’Akov (James):
Point 1- we MUST confess
our own sins and transgressions against YHWH and people to have our Creators
audience. Hidden sin or what we think is hidden is not hidden at all and if
left un-confessed and admitted and repented from is still held against us-
cutting back our walk with the Lord! Psalm 32:5 shows us what happens when we
confess and admit our sins- obviously we all desire a clean slate and right
standing with our Heavenly Father- additionally; even the third and fourth
generation below us will be tested by our un-repented of sins.
Psalm 32:5
I acknowledged my sin to you, and
my iniquity I have not hidden. I
said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the
iniquity of my sin. Selah
Point 2 – only the compassion of the indwelling Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) really allows us to have fervent and compassionate
prayers for others and gives us confidence that our prayers are not only heard
but already answered BEFORE we actually see the desired results and
manifestation. We must pray for one another which is not natural to the unborn
again person but quite natural for us who are really born again and drawn close
to our Master and King Yahshua!
Point 3 – Elijah was a real man with strengths and
weaknesses just like us! Of course “man” used here is what YHWH created- MAN-
male and female man; or we could say man and man with womb that
completes man- WOMAN. Note also the 42 Hebrew months spoken with this
manifestation of great prayer power for the fervent and diligent may very well
be a hidden reminder to us of the overwhelming prayer power we will experience-
perhaps now and certainly during the 42 months or 3 ½ years of the GREAT
TRIBULATION or Jacob’s Trouble- We WILL DO EXPLOITS IN HIS NAME! We will ONLY
BELIEVE and FEAR NOT as we worship and give thanks for Him allowing us to draw
so near.!
Point 4 - Diligent and fervent prayer is prayer that is
believed and given thanks for before you actually see the results and maybe
even when hasatan shows you results exactly opposite of the word of YAH you are
speaking and confessing heavenward. We must stand and resist the “facts” that
hasatan is guaranteed to send to steal the word we just planted. Sometimes-
when we don’t know what to pray- we MUST yield our tongues and allow the Holy
Spirit to pray as He will direct our tongues- and He ALWAYS gets results!
Here are
some Scriptures that come to mind for us to consider:
(James 4:7) So then subject (submit) yourselves to Elohim (Comment:
obviously this submission is done with our tongues and minds- speaking and
thinking on His word- and then obeying it!). Resist the devil 1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or adversary. (James 4:8)
Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands,
sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James
4:9) Lament and mourn and weep!
Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10)
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11)
Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a
brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if
you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12)
There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who
are you to judge another?
Can we
Give Thanks? (Before we see the desired results- that IS faith and trust!)
(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.
Why is it
so important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?
(Rev 21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all
things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake, which burns with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death.
We
are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he
purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him… Are we fearful? YHWH
did not give us a spirit of fear… (2Ti 1:7) For Elohim has not given us a spirit of
cowardice (Fear), but of power and of
love and of self-control (Sound mind).
We must clean up and
make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once DRY
BONES to become the restored! We cannot follow those of various religious
systems who are described here as this sounds a lot like modern Churchianity:
(Ezekiel 22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
It is our destiny to
seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory realm; His
mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah
29:11) ‘For I know the plans I am
planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12)
‘Then you shall call on me,
and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13)
‘And you shall seek me, and
shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart1. Footnote: 1 Dt. 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה,
‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the
gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place from which I have
exiled you.’ (Gen 13:17) "Arise, walk about the land through its
length and breadth; for I will give it to you." (Eph
5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise
from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isa
60:1) “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
Loved One- WE MUST CONSIDER: Jacob’s Trouble is
OUR TROUBLE AND TESTS! (And we are learning we can overcome all plans of
hell!)
(Not the Jews only trouble-ALL
Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is
approaching all living on the earth. What is it that you and I desire to
accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it fame, wealth,
pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more lasting…say eternal?
What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment?
Will we allow our lives to be broken and changed into His image by our own
choice or will we soon be pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our
worldly accomplishments burned up leaving nothing but ash? Mat 21:44 “And he who falls on this stone (The Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1
but on whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Rom. 8:10 & 13, Col. 3:5. (Deuteronomy 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, (Deuteronomy 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.”
Here’s our prayer Yah suggests for
us to make below- Our Words
direct us! Start
today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use
this prayer!
(Luke 21:36) You watch you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man. Of course
the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having produced
fruit that will remain!
(Matthew 12:34) “You brood of adders! How are
you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. (Matthew 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. (Matthew 12:36)
“And I say to you that for every idle (careless) word men speak, they shall
give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Matthew
12:37) “For
by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be
declared unrighteous (condemned).”
If no man (male or female) can tame the
tongue, which yields our direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder
on a ship; how then can our tongue be tamed? Too
many “teachers” putting down others and building their own kingdoms- which of
course will be burned with fire! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of
the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
Please join in with believers worldwide and fast and pray
and receive His INSTRUCTIONS and worship the Lover of our souls- Loved One that
we may escape the traps and schemes of the devil and still remain standing at
His appearing- having produced much fruit that REMAINS! Hallelu-YAH! WITH THAT DECISION IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS;
let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Shemot “Names”
Exodus 1:1-6:1; Isaiah 27:6-28:13; Isaiah
29:22-23; Jeremiah 1:1-2:3; Acts 7: 17-29
Names
of the Tribes of Israel
(Exodus 1:1)
And these are the names of the children of Yisra’ĕl who came to
Mitsrayim with Yaʽaqoḇ, each one with his household: (Exodus 1:2) Re’uḇĕn, Shimʽon, Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah; (Exodus 1:3) Yissasḵar, Zeḇulun, and Binyamin; (Exodus 1:4) Dan and Naphtali, Gaḏ and Ashĕr. (Exodus 1:5)
And all those who were descendants of Yaʽaqoḇ were seventy beings, as
Yosĕph was already in Mitsrayim. (Exodus 1:6) And Yosĕph died, and all his brothers, and
all that generation. (Exodus 1:7) And the children of Yisra’ĕl bore fruit and
increased very much, multiplied and became very strong, and the land was filled
with them. (Exodus 1:8) Then a new sovereign arose over Mitsrayim,
who did not know Yosĕph, (Exodus 1:9) and he
said to his people, “See, the people of the children of Yisra’ĕl are more and
stronger than we, (Exodus 1:10) come, let us
act wisely towards them, lest they increase, and it shall be when fighting
befalls us, that they shall join our enemies and fight against us, and shall go
up out of the land.” (Exodus 1:11) So they set slave-masters over them to
afflict them with their burdens, and they built for Pharaoh Supply cities,
Pithom and Raʽamses. (Exodus 1:12) But the more they afflicted them, the more
they increased and grew, and they were in dread of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 1:13)
And the Mitsrites made the children of Yisra’ĕl serve with harshness, (Exodus 1:14)
and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in
brick, and in all kinds of work in the field, all their work which they made
them do was with harshness. (Exodus 1:15) Then the sovereign of Mitsrayim spoke to the
Heḇrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the
other Puʽah, (Exodus 1:16) and he said, “When
you deliver the Heḇrew women, and see them on the birth stools, if it is a
son, then you shall put him to death, but if it is a daughter, then she shall
live.” (Exodus 1:17) But the midwives feared Elohim, and did not
do as the sovereign of Mitsrayim commanded them, and kept the male children
alive. (Exodus 1:18) So the sovereign of Mitsrayim called for the
midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and kept the male children
alive?” (Exodus 1:19) And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because
the Heḇrew women are not like the Mitsrite women. For they are lively and give
birth before the midwives come to them.” (Exodus 1:20) So Elohim was good to the midwives, and the
people increased and became very numerous. (Exodus
1:21) And it came to be, because
the midwives feared Elohim that He provided households for them. (Exodus 1:22)
And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Throw every son who is
born into the river, and keep alive every daughter.”
Moses- a shadow of us in Messiah- was
protected and used mightily- and Yah willing (and us willing and obedient) so
will we be used to produce fruit that remains!
(Exodus 2:1)
And a man of the house of Lĕwi went and married a daughter of Lĕwi. (Exodus 2:2)
And the woman conceived and bore a son. And she saw that he was a lovely
child, and she hid him three months. (Exodus 2:3) And when she could hide him no longer, she
took an ark of wicker for him, and coated it with tar and pitch, and put the
child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the edge of the river. (Exodus 2:4)
And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him. (Exodus 2:5)
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and
her young women were walking by the riverside. And when she saw the ark among
the reeds, she sent her female servant to get it, (Exodus
2:6) and opened it and saw the child, and see, the baby wept. So she had
compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the children of the Heḇrews.”
(Exodus 2:7)
And his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse
for you from the Heḇrew women to nurse the child for you?” (Exodus 2:8)
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” And the girl went and called
the child’s mother. (Exodus 2:9) And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take
this child away and nurse him for me, then I shall pay your wages.” So the
woman took the child and nursed him. (Exodus 2:10) And the child grew, and she brought him to
Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh,
saying, “Because I have drawn him out of the water.” (Exodus
2:11) And in those days it came
to be, when Mosheh was grown, that he went out to his brothers and looked at
their burdens. And he saw a Mitsrite beating a Heḇrew, one of his brothers. (Exodus 2:12)
So he turned this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he smote the
Mitsrite and hid him in the sand. (Exodus 2:13) And he went out the second day and saw two
Heḇrew men fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why do you
smite your neighbor?” (Exodus 2:14) And he said, “Who made you a head and a judge
over us? Do you intend to slay me as you slew the Mitsrite?” And Mosheh feared
and said, “Truly, the matter is known!” (Exodus 2:15) And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and he
sought to kill Mosheh. But Mosheh fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in
the land of Miḏyan. And he sat down by a well. (Exodus
2:16) And the priest of Miḏyan
had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs
to water their father’s flock, (Exodus 2:17) but
the shepherds came and drove them away. Then Mosheh stood up and came to their
rescue, and watered their flock. (Exodus 2:18) And they came to Reʽuw’ĕl their father, and
he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?” (Exodus
2:19) And they said, “A Mitsrite
rescued us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us
and watered the flock.” (Exodus 2:20) And he said to his daughters, “And where is
he? Why did you leave the man? Call him and let him eat bread.” (Exodus 2:21)
And Mosheh agreed to dwell with the man, and he gave Tsipporah his
daughter to Mosheh. (Exodus 2:22) And she bore him a son, and he called his
name Gĕreshom, for he said, “I have become a sojourner in a foreign land.” (Exodus 2:23)
And it came to be after these many days that the sovereign of Mitsrayim
died. And the children of Yisra’ĕl groaned because of the slavery, and they
cried out. And their cry came up to Elohim because of the slavery. (Exodus 2:24)
And Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered His covenant with
Aḇraham, with Yitsḥaq, and with Yaʽaqoḇ. (Exodus
2:25) And Elohim looked on the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and Elohim knew!
YHWH IS a consuming fire not a consumed
one!
(Exodus 3:1)
And Mosheh was shepherding the flock of Yithro his father-in-law, the
priest of Miḏyan. And he led the flock to the back of the
wilderness, and came to Ḥorĕḇ, the mountain of Elohim. (Exodus 3:2)
And the Messenger of יהוה appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a
bush. And he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not
consumed. (Exodus 3:3) And Mosheh said, “Let me turn aside now, and
see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” (Exodus
3:4) And יהוה
saw that he turned aside to see, and Elohim called to him from the midst of the
bush and said, “Mosheh! Mosheh!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:5)
And He said, “Do not come near here. Take your sandals off your feet,
for the place on which you are standing is set-apart ground.” (Exodus 3:6)
And He said, “I am the Elohim of your father, the Elohim of Aḇraham,
the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.” And Mosheh hid his face,
for he was afraid to look at Elohim. (Exodus 3:7) And יהוה said, “I have
indeed seen the oppression of my people who are in Mitsrayim, and have heard
their cry because of their slave-drivers, for I know their sorrows. (Exodus 3:8)
“And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Mitsrites,
and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land
flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Kenaʽanites and the Ḥittites
and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Ḥiwwites and the Yeḇusites. (Exodus 3:9)
“And now, see, the cry of the children of Yisra’ĕl has come to me, and I
have also seen the oppression with which the Mitsrites oppress them. (Exodus 3:10)
“And now, come, I am sending you to Pharaoh, to bring my people, the
children of Yisra’ĕl, out of Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 3:11) And Mosheh said to Elohim, “Who am I that I
should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out of
Mitsrayim?” (Exodus 3:12) And He said, “Because I am with you. And this
is to you the sign that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out
of Mitsrayim, you are to serve Elohim on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:13)
And Mosheh said to Elohim, “See, when I come to the children of Yisra’ĕl
and say to them, ‘The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say
to me, ‘What is His Name?’ what shall I say to them?” (Exodus
3:14) And Elohim said to Mosheh, “I am that which I am.” 1 And He said, “Thus you shall say to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” Footnote:
1 The Heḇrew text reads: ’eyeh ’asher ’eyeh, the word ’eyeh being
derived from hayah which means to be, to exist, but the Aramaic text here in v.
14 reads: ayah ashar ayah. This is not His Name, but it is an explanation that
leads up to the revelation of His Name in v. 15, namely: יהוה.
(Exodus 3:15) And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of
Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, has sent me to you. This is My Name
forever, and this is my remembrance to all generations.’ (Exodus 3:16)
“Go, and you shall gather the elders of Yisra’ĕl together, and say to
them, ‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of
Aḇraham, of Yitsḥaq, and of Yaʽaqoḇ, appeared to me, saying, “I have indeed
visited you and seen what is done to you in Mitsrayim; (Exodus
3:17) and I say: I am bringing
you up out of the affliction of Mitsrayim to the land of the Kenaʽanite and the
Ḥittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite,
to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ (Exodus
3:18) “And they shall listen to your voice. And you shall come, you and
the elders of Yisra’ĕl, to the sovereign of Mitsrayim, and you shall say to
him, ‘יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews has met with us. And
now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness to slaughter to יהוה our Elohim.’ (Exodus 3:19) “But I know that the sovereign of Mitsrayim
is not going to let you go, not even by a strong hand. (Exodus
3:20) “And I shall stretch out my
hand and smite Mitsrayim with all my wonders which I shall do in its midst. And
after that he shall let you go. (Exodus 3:21) “And I shall give this people favor in the
eyes of the Mitsrites. And it shall be that when you go, you shall not go
empty-handed. (Exodus 3:22) “But every woman shall ask from her neighbor
and from the stranger in her house, objects of silver, and objects of gold, and
garments. And you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters, and shall
plunder the Mitsrites.” (Exodus 4:1) And Mosheh answered and said, “And if they do
not believe me, nor listen to my voice, and say, ‘יהוה has not
appeared to you?’ ” (Exodus 4:2) and יהוה said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A
rod.” (Exodus 4:3) And He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he
threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent. And Mosheh fled from it. (Exodus 4:4)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Reach out your hand and
take it by the tail” – so he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became
a rod in his hand – (Exodus 4:5) so that they
believe that יהוה Elohim of their fathers, the Elohim of
Aḇraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, has appeared to
you.” (Exodus 4:6) And יהוה said to him
again, “Now put your hand in your bosom.” And he put his hand in his bosom, and
when he took it out, and see; his hand was leprous, like snow. (Exodus 4:7)
And He said, “Put your hand in your bosom again.” So he put his hand in
his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and see, it was restored like
his other flesh. (Exodus 4:8) “And it shall be, if they do not believe you,
nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they shall believe the voice of the
latter sign. (Exodus 4:9) “And it shall be, if they do not believe even
these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the
river and pour it on the dry land. And the water which you take from the river
shall become blood on the dry land.” (Exodus 4:10) And Mosheh said to יהוה,
“O יהוה, I am not a man of words, neither before nor since
you have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” (Exodus 4:11)
And יהוה said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or
who makes dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, יהוה?
(Exodus 4:12)
“And now, go, and I shall be with your mouth and teach you what to say.”
(Exodus 4:13)
But he said, “O יהוה, please send by the hand of
him whom you would send.” (Exodus 4:14)
And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Mosheh,
and He said, “Is not Aharon the Lĕwite your brother? I know that he speaks
well. And see, he is also coming out to meet you. And when he sees you, he
shall be glad in his heart. (Exodus 4:15) “And you shall speak to him and put the words
in his mouth. And I am with your mouth and with his mouth, and I shall teach
you what to do. (Exodus 4:16) “And he shall speak for you to the people.
And it shall be that he shall be a mouth for you, and you shall be an Elohim 1 for him. Footnote:
1 Or mighty one, which is proof that Elohim is but a
title, indicating order or authority – it is not a proper name. (Exodus 4:17)
“And take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.” (Exodus 4:18)
Then Mosheh went and returned to Yithro his father-in-law, and said to
him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Mitsrayim to see
whether they are still alive.” And Yithro said to Mosheh, “Go in peace.” (Exodus 4:19)
And יהוה said to Mosheh in Miḏyan, “Go, return to
Mitsrayim, for all the men are dead who sought your life.” (Exodus 4:20)
So Mosheh took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he
returned to the land of Mitsrayim. And Mosheh took the rod of Elohim in his
hand. (Exodus 4:21) And יהוה said to Mosheh,
“As you go back to Mitsrayim, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh
which I have put in your hand. But I am going to harden his heart, so that he
does not let the people go. (Exodus 4:22) “And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Yisra’ĕl is my son, my first-born, (Exodus 4:23)
so I say to you, let my son go to serve me. But if you refuse to let him
go, see, I am killing your son, your first-born.” ’ ” (Exodus
4:24) And it came to be on the way, in the lodging place, that יהוה met him and sought to kill him. (Exodus
4:25) And Tsipporah took a sharp
stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and threw it at Mosheh’s feet, and
said, “You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me!” (Exodus
4:26) So He let him go. Then she
said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision. (Exodus 4:27)
And יהוה said to Aharon, “Go to meet Mosheh in the
wilderness.” And he went and met him on the mountain of Elohim, and kissed him.
(Exodus 4:28)
Mosheh then told Aharon all the words of יהוה who
had sent him, and all the signs, which He had commanded him. (Exodus 4:29)
And Mosheh went with Aharon and gathered together all the elders of the
children of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 4:30) And Aharon spoke all the words which יהוה had spoken to Mosheh. Then he did the signs before the eyes
of the people. (Exodus 4:31) And the people believed. And they heard that יהוה had visited the children of Yisra’ĕl and that He had looked
on their affliction, and they bowed their heads and did obeisance.
Our enemies don’t know YHWH- rest assured they will be introduced!
(Exodus 5:1)
And afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in and said to Pharaoh, “Thus said
יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Let My people go, so that they keep a festival to me
in the wilderness.’ ” (Exodus 5:2) And Pharaoh
said, “Who is יהוה, that I should obey His voice to let
Yisra’ĕl go? I do not know יהוה, nor am I going to let
Yisra’ĕl go.” (Exodus 5:3) And they said, “The Elohim of the Heḇrews
has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness and
slaughter to יהוה our Elohim, lest He fall upon us with
pestilence or with the sword.” (Exodus 5:4) But the sovereign of Mitsrayim said to them,
“Mosheh and Aharon, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to
your burdens.” (Exodus 5:5) And Pharaoh said, “See, the people of the
land are many now, and you make them cease from their burdens!” (Exodus 5:6)
And the same day Pharaoh commanded the slave-drivers of the people and
their foremen, saying, (Exodus 5:7) “You are no
longer to give the people straw to make bricks as before. Let them go and
gather straw for themselves. (Exodus 5:8) “And lay on them the required amount of
bricks which they made before, do not diminish it. For they are idle, that is
why they cry out, saying, ‘Let us go and slaughter to our Elohim.’ (Exodus 5:9)
“Let more work be laid on the men, so that they labor in it, and not pay
attention to words of falsehood.” (Exodus 5:10) And the slave-drivers of the people and their
foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh, ‘I do not
give you straw. (Exodus 5:11) ‘Go, take straw for yourselves, wherever you
find it, for your work shall not be diminished.’ ” (Exodus
5:12) And the people were scattered in all the land of Mitsrayim – to
gather stubble for straw. (Exodus 5:13) And the slave drivers were hurrying them on,
saying, “Complete your work, your daily amount, as when there was straw.” (Exodus 5:14)
Also the foremen of the children of Yisra’ĕl, whom Pharaoh’s
slave-drivers had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not
completed your task in making bricks both yesterday and today, as before?” (Exodus 5:15)
And the foremen of the children of Yisra’ĕl came and cried out to
Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you treat your servants this way? (Exodus 5:16)
“There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, ‘Make
bricks!’ And see, your servants are beaten, but your own people are at fault.” (Exodus 5:17)
But he said, “You are idle! You are idle! That is why you say, ‘Let us
go and slaughter to יהוה.’ (Exodus
5:18) “So now- go work. And straw
is not given to you, but deliver the amount of bricks.” (Exodus 5:19) And the
foremen of the children of Yisra’ĕl saw that they were in trouble after it was said;
“You are not to diminish your daily amount of bricks.” (Exodus
5:20) And when they came out from
Pharaoh, they met Mosheh and Aharon who stood there to meet them. (Exodus 5:21)
And they said to them, “Let יהוה look on you and
judge, because you have made us loathsome in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the
eyes of his servants, to give a sword in their hand to kill us.” (Exodus 5:22)
And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “יהוה, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you send
me? (Exodus 5:23) “For ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in
Your Name, he has done evil to this people. And you have not delivered your
people at all.” (Exodus
6:1) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Now see what I
do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he is going to let them go, and with a
strong hand he is going to drive them out of his land.”
We are now blossoming
and budding through fiery trials purchasing faith and trust!
(Isa 27:6)
Those who come He causes to take root in Yaʽaqoḇ,
Yisra’ĕl shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with
fruit. (Isa 27:7) Has He smitten him as He smote those who were
smiting him? Or were they slain as those they had slaughtered? (Isa 27:8) In
measure, by sending her away, you contended with her. He shall take away by His
rough wind in the day of the east wind. (Isa 27:9) Therefore by this the crookedness of Yaʽaqoḇ
is covered. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he makes all
the stones of the altar like chalkstones that are beaten to dust – Ashĕrim (Easters) and sun-pillars
rise no more. (Isa 27:10) For the city of defense is lonely, a home
forsaken and left like a wilderness – there the calf feeds, and there it lies
down, and shall consume its branches. (Isa 27:11) When its twigs are dry, they are broken off;
women come and set them on fire. This is a people of no understanding, therefore
He who made them has no compassion on them, and He who formed them shows them
no favor. (Isa 27:12) And in that day it shall be that יהוה threshes,
from the channel of the River to the wadi of Mitsrayim. And you shall be
gathered one by one1, O children of
Yisra’ĕl. Footnote: 1Jeremiah. 3:14-15. (Isa 27:13) And in that day it shall be that a great
horn is blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Ashshur and the
outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall worship יהוה
on the set-apart mountain, in Yerushalayim. (Isa 28:1) Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of
Ephrayim, and to the fading flower of its splendid comeliness that is on the
head of the fertile valley, to those who are overcome with wine! (Isa 28:2)
See, יהוה has one who is mighty and strong, like a downpour of hail
and a destroying storm, like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, who casts
down to the earth with the hand. (Isa 28:3) The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephrayim,
is trampled underfoot; (Isa 28:4) and the fading flower of its splendid
comeliness that is on the head of the fertile valley, like the first fruit
before the summer, which, when one sees it, he eats it up while it is still in
his hand. (Isa 28:5) In that day יהוה of hosts
is for a crown of splendor and a headdress of comeliness to the remnant of His
people, (Isa 28:6) and a spirit of right ruling to him who sits
in right-ruling, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. (Isa 28:7) And
these too have gone astray through wine, and through strong drink wandered
about. Priest and prophet have gone astray through strong drink, they are
swallowed up by wine, they wander about through strong drink, they go astray in
vision, and they stumble in right-ruling. (Isa 28:8) For all tables shall be covered with vomit,
no place without filth. (Isa 28:9) Whom would He teach knowledge? And whom would
He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the
breasts! (Isa 28:10) For it is: command upon command, command upon
command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little. (Isa 28:11)
For with a jabbering lip and a foreign tongue He speaks to this people, (Isa 28:12) to whom He said, “This is the rest, give
rest to the weary,” and, “This is the refreshing.” But they would not hear. (Isa 28:13)
But the Word of יהוה was to them, “Command upon
command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little,
there a little,” so that they go and shall stumble backward, and be broken and
snared and taken captive.
Ransomed Abraham? Yep- By renaming him!
(Isa 29:22)
Therefore; thus said יהוה;; who ransomed Aḇraham, concerning the house of Yaʽaqoḇ,
“Yaʽaqoḇ is no longer put to shame, no longer does his face grow pale. (Isa 29:23)
“For when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they
shall set apart My Name, and set apart the Set-apart One of Yaʽaqoḇ, and fear
the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
Calling those things that “be not” into agreement with YHWH!
(Jeremiah 1:1)
The words of Yirmeyahu the son of Ḥilqiyahu, of the priests who
were in Anathoth in the land of Binyamin, (Jeremiah
1:2) to whom the word of יהוה came in the days of Yoshiyahu son of Amon, sovereign of
Yehuḏah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. (Jeremiah
1:3) And it came in the days of
Yehoyaqim, son of Yoshiyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, until the end of the
eleventh year of Tsiḏqiyahu, son of Yoshiyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, until
the exile of Yerushalayim in the fifth month. (Jeremiah
1:4) Now the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Jeremiah 1:5)
“Before I formed you in the belly
I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I did set you apart – I
appointed you a prophet to nations.” (Jeremiah
1:6) And said I, “Ah, Master יהוה! See, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.” (Jeremiah 1:7)
And יהוה said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ but go to all to whom I send
you, and speak whatever I command you. (Jeremiah
1:8) “Do not fear their faces,
for I am with you to deliver you,” declares יהוה. (Jeremiah 1:9)
Then יהוה put forth His hand and touched my mouth,
and יהוה said to me, “See, I have put my words in your
mouth. (Jeremiah 1:10) “See, I have this day set you over the
nations and over the reigns, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to
overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:11) And the word of יהוה
came to me, saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch
of an almond tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה said to me,
“You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.” (Jeremiah 1:13)
And the word of יהוה came to me a second time,
saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, and it is facing
away from the north.” (Jeremiah 1:14) And יהוה said to me,
“Out of the north evil is set loose on all the inhabitants of the land. (Jeremiah 1:15)
“For look, I am calling all the clans of the reigns of the north,”
declares יהוה. “And they shall come and each one set his
throne at the entrance of the gates of Yerushalayim, against all its walls all
around, and against all the cities of Yehuḏah. (Jeremiah
1:16) “And I shall pronounce my
judgments against them concerning all their evil, because they have forsaken me,
burned incense to other mighty ones, and bowed themselves to the works of their
own hands. (Jeremiah 1:17) “Now, gird up your loins and arise, and speak
to them all that I command you. Do not break down before their faces, lest I
break you before them. (Jeremiah 1:18) “For look, I have made you this day a walled
city and an iron column, and bronze walls against all the land, against the
sovereigns of Yehuḏah, against her heads, against her priests, and against the
people of the land. (Jeremiah 1:19) “And they shall fight against you, but not
prevail against you. I am with you,” declares יהוה, “to
deliver you.” (Jeremiah
2:1) And the word of יהוה came to
me, saying, (Jeremiah 2:2) “Go, and you shall cry in the hearing of
Yerushalayim, saying, ‘Thus said יהוה, “I remember you,
the kindness of your youth, the love of your bride hood, when you went after Me
in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. (Jeremiah
2:3) “Yisra’ĕl was set-apart to יהוה, the first-fruits of His increase. All who ate of it became
guilty – evil came upon them,” declares יהוה.’ ”
Yep there will be
wicked Pharaohs rise up who do not know our heritage…we may become destroyed as
an Obamanation- except those who will speak agreement with YHWH’s plan and
words
(Act 7:17) “But as the time of the promise drew
near which Elohim had sworn to Aḇraham, the people increased
and multiplied in Mitsrayim (Act 7:18) until
another sovereign arose who did not know Yosĕph. (Act
7:19) “Having dealt treacherously
with our race, this one mistreated our fathers, making them expose their
babies, so that they should not live. (Act 7:20) “At that time Mosheh was born, and he was
well-pleasing to Elohim. And he was reared three months in the house of his
father. (Act 7:21) “But when he was exposed, the daughter of
Pharaoh took him up and reared him as her own son. (Act
7:22) “And Mosheh was instructed
in all the wisdom of the Mitsrites, and was mighty in words and works. (Act 7:23)
“And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his
brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Act 7:24) “And seeing one of them being wronged, he
defended and revenged him who was oppressed, smiting the Mitsrite. (Act 7:25)
“And he thought that his brothers would have understood that Elohim
would give deliverance to them by his hand, but they did not understand. (Act 7:26)
“And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and
urged them to peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers, why do you wrong one
another?’ (Act 7:27) “But he who was wronging his neighbor pushed
him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? (Act 7:28) ‘Do
you wish to kill me as you killed the Mitsrite yesterday?’ (Act 7:29)
“And at this saying, Mosheh fled and became a sojourner in the land of
Miḏyan, where he fathered two sons.

sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
