Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
 
 
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies w/ translations Mighty is YHWH whose mercy endures forever as He restores all things!
 
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- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…
 

Loved One, (Family of Truth searchers who are after the Father’s heart- to do His will!) over the last few days, I have questioned our Heavenly Father about what He desired to impress upon us during this weeks’ study.  As we start by reading a Chapter of Joel we can understand that the term “in those days and at that time” is a Hebrew idiom for the Day of the Lord. I suspect most of us are aware of the earth changes and the feel of something just, well…different. Let’s read and get some background for the forthcoming events which- will leave you and I (hopefully) with questions and decisions to make for ourselves. Three or four years ago the Holy Spirit gave me a song and tune which my dear friend and worship leader; Allan in Costa Rica, wrote the notes to. It’s becoming evident to me- Your wind is blowing even righteous trees; wood, hay, and stubble burned in fire- and all that’s left is ashes, and a burning desire! To worship YHWH (Yahweh), worship you YHWH (Yahweh) at your throne”…. These words reflect what is happening to those who “sell out” to His use. Know and understand that our country (USA) and this nephillim led administration especially are determined to bring “Peace” to the Middle East by dividing YHWH’s covenant land.
 
Let’s look together at what the Creator says about those countries that do this. It seems the whole world is studying the Roman Antonian Fortress (Temple Mount and wailing wall) with the Pope expecting to rule from some sort of Judgment Seat or throne set up there. We should know our Scriptures well enough to know that when Yahshua said NOT ONE STONE will be left…He knew what He was talking about! It seems possible what many or so worried about may be part of the wicked one’s deception and plan. Remember with me that Daniel foretold that when we see this abomination that makes desolate set up in the place where it should not be---FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS…. Can we agree that we must develop an intimate relationship now that we may hear our Master clearly as to what and when we take action?
 
Joel 3:1  “For look, in those days and at that time, (Uhhhh---ummm- this time soon?) when I turn back the captivity of Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, Joel 3:2 then I shall gather all gentiles, and bring them down to the Valley of Yehoshaphat. And I shall enter into judgment with them there for my people, my inheritance Yisra’ĕl, whom they have scattered among the gentiles, and they have divided (PARTED) up my land. Joel 3:3 “And they have cast lots for my people, and have given a young man for a whore, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it. Joel 3:4 “And also, what are you to me, O Tsor and Tsiḏon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Are you repaying me? And if you are repaying me, I would swiftly and speedily return your reward on your own head. Joel 3:5  “For you have taken my silver and my gold, and brought my treasures into your temples, Joel 3:6 and the people of Yehuḏah and the people of Yerushalayim you have sold to the sons of Yawan, to remove them far from their borders. Joel 3:7 “See, I am stirring them up out of the place to which you have sold them, and I shall return on your own head what you have done, Joel 3:8 and shall sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Yehuḏah, and they shall sell them to the Sheḇaites, to a nation far off. For יהוה has spoken.” Joel 3:9 Proclaim this among the gentiles, “Prepare for battle! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of battle draw near, let them come up. Joel 3:10 “Beat your ploughshares into swords and your pruning-hooks into spears, let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ” Joel 3:11 Hasten and come all you gentiles, and gather together all around. O יהוה let your mighty men come down here. Joel 3:12 “Let the gentiles be aroused, and come up to the Valley of Yehoshaphat. For there I shall sit to judge all the gentiles on every side.  Joel 3:13Put in the sickle, for the harvest has grown ripe. Come, go down, for the winepress is filled, the vats overflow, for their evil is great.”
 
I think we can gather that a great harvest is coming and we are all faced with some serious questions and the decisions we make will allow YHWH to use us mightily or divide us from those He will be allowed to use. Will we run to YHWH (Yahweh) while seemingly abandoning all who refuse to trust and obey Him, receive all His gifts and equipping He wants to give us to allow us to be witnesses wherever we go for s long as He desires and has created us for?  Are we “abandoning” those that refuse to come out of the Babylon whore culture and seek Him with all their ability? Here’s what I was shown regarding that; everyone who really loves Him will obey Him from a heart of honor and love- He considers them His treasure: Segulah; which is treasure so important He never lets out of His hand or sight! H5459 סגלּה segûllâh seg-ool-law' Feminine passive participle of an unused root meaning to shut up; wealth (as closely shut up): - jewel, peculiar (treasure), proper good, special.
 
Exodus 19:5  ‘And now, if you diligently obey my voice, and shall guard my covenant, then you shall be my treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is mine – Exodus 19:6  ‘and you shall be to me a reign of priests and a set-apart nation.’ Those are the words which you are to speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl.”
 
In my prayer and meditation (Selah) time, I have come to understand we are not to follow anything that has added or taken away from His word and instructions! This is very dangerous because the devil is deceiving many right now. When Yahshua came the first time He broke every Takanot (Judaism man made laws- which were added to what Moses was given) and usually broke them with miracles. It is not okay to follow manmade nonsense- especially since most of it agrees with the synagogue of satan. The same goes for all the celebrations and feasts that replaced His feasts in churchianity. Most are straight from satan also, we actually subtracted His feasts which are the shadow picture and prophetic picture of what is to come. We get to choose Loved One, but be certain without repentance we will earn hell’s fires. DO NOT FOLLOW ANY MAN MADE ADDITTIONS! Ask the Father for yourself to reveal truth and remove all wood, hay and stubble BEFORE we must stand in His presence—because we will each stand there alone and naked before His eyes! If we deny Him before men- He will deny us before the Father---be very careful about what we believe and do. It will do us good to relook at Deuteronomy 4:2.  Judaism has continued to add much- claiming they sit in the Seat of Moses- they are very wrong—Yahshua alone is the High Priest---the Melchizedek! Constantine was a sun god worshipper and he and his followers (popes today) say they sit in His seat and rule as the Vicar of Christ on the earth—so they have the right to change whatever they choose to and we must follow them. NONSENSE—follow our Messiah- His TEN COMMANDMENTS- Keep the Shabbat and His Feasts. Remember the first four Commandments are how YHWH wants to be loved and the last six Commandments are how He expects us to love others- (Our neighbor as ourselves) ALL the Torah and the Prophets hang on these two commands! Our King is the Melchizedek Priest forever- the righteous judge. Faith/belief works by love, and He will ask each of us when we stand in front of Him- “DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE YAHWEH?” Next He will ask us, “DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF?”
 
So loved one, we are all left with the decision- will we become His treasure at the risk of losing forsaking all others? There’s what He told me to teach on- DECISIONS He will give the verdict and outcome concerning our lives and purpose for being born for such a time as this.
 
Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of יהוה is near in the valley of decision.  Joel 3:15 Sun and moon shall become dark, and stars shall withdraw their brightness.  Joel 3:16 and יהוה shall roar from Tsiyon, and give forth His voice from Yerushalayim. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but יהוה shall be a refuge for His people, and a stronghold for the children of Yisra’ĕl.  Joel 3:17 “Then you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim, dwelling in Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain1. And Yerushalayim shall be set-apart, and foreigners shall not pass through her again. Footnote: 1 See v. 21 and Isaiah 24:23.  Joel 3:18 “And it shall be in that day that the mountains drip with new wine, and the hills flow with milk. And all the streams of Yehuḏah shall be flooded with water, and a fountain flow from the House of יהוה and water the wadi Shittim.  Joel 3:19 “Mitsrayim shall become a ruin, and Eḏom a ruin, a wilderness, because of violence done to the people of Yehuḏah, whose innocent blood they shed in their land.  Joel 3:20 “Yehuḏah shall dwell forever, and Yerushalayim to all generations.  Joel 3:21 “And I shall avenge their blood, which I have not avenged. And יהוה shall be dwelling in Tsiyon!”  
 
Can we make an eternal decision loved one? Can we ask Him to use us and change us- forsaking all others as we become His bride, without spot or blemish, a bride that is willing to make herself ready? Our answer will change our lives and “Seal us” as we become the virgins (Born again ones) who receive His power (oil for our lamps) to become of those that are usable and ready for the coming BRIDEGROOM! There is no reconciliation/restoration without repentance loved one. Will we be of those who fulfill their destiny- that purpose for which we were created?
 
 
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures:  Yithro Jethro
 
Exodus 18:1-20:23; Isaiah 6:1-7: Isaiah 9:5-6; Matthew 5:17-32
 
 
 
(Exodus 18:1)  And Yithro, the priest of Miḏyan, Mosheh’s father-in-law, heard of all that Elohim had done for Mosheh and for Yisra’ĕl His people, that יהוה had brought Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim (Egypt- misery root word). (Exodus 18:2)  And Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, took Tsipporah, the wife of Mosheh – after he had sent her back, (Exodus 18:3) and her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gĕreshom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land,” (Exodus 18:4) and the name of the other was Eliʽezer, for he said, “The Elohim of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.” (Exodus 18:5)  Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Mosheh in the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mountain of Elohim. (Exodus 18:6)  And he had said to Mosheh, “I, your father-in-law Yithro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.” (Exodus 18:7)  And Mosheh went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him. And they asked each other about their welfare, and they went into the tent. (Exodus 18:8)  And Mosheh told his father-in-law all that יהוה had done to Pharaoh and to the Mitsrites for Yisra’ĕl’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how יהוה had delivered them. (Exodus 18:9)  And Yithro rejoiced for all the good which יהוה had done for Yisra’ĕl, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Mitsrites. (Exodus 18:10)  And Yithro said, “Blessed be יהוה, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Mitsrites and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Mitsrites. (Exodus 18:11)  “Now I know that יהוה is greater than all the mighty ones, indeed in the matter in which they acted proudly, above them.” (Exodus 18:12)  Then Yithro, the father-in-law of Mosheh, brought a burnt offering and other slaughterings unto Elohim. And Aharon came with all the elders of Yisra’ĕl to eat bread with the father-in-law of Mosheh before Elohim. (Exodus 18:13)  And it came to be, on the next day, that Mosheh sat to rightly rule the people. And the people stood before Mosheh from morning until evening. (Exodus 18:14)  And when the father-in-law of Mosheh saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit by yourself, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?” (Exodus 18:15)  And Mosheh said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek Elohim. (Exodus 18:16)  “When they have a matter, they come to me, and I rightly rule between one and another, and make known the laws of Elohim and His Torot.” (Exodus 18:17)  And the father-in-law of Mosheh said to him, “What you are doing is not good. (Exodus 18:18)  “Both you and these people with you shall certainly wear yourselves out. For the matter is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself. (Exodus 18:19)  “Now listen to my voice. Let me counsel you and Elohim be with you: Stand before Elohim for the people and you shall bring the matters to Elohim. (Exodus 18:20)  “And you shall enlighten them concerning the laws and the Torot, and show them the way in which they should walk and the work which they do. (Exodus 18:21)  “But you yourself seek out from all the people able men, who fear Elohim, men of truth, hating unfair gain. And place these over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:22)  “And they shall rightly rule the people at all times. And it shall be that they bring every great matter to you, but they themselves rightly rule every small matter. So, make it lighter for yourself, for they shall bear with you. (Exodus 18:23)  “If you do this word, and Elohim shall command you, then you shall be able to stand and this entire people also go to their place in peace.” (Exodus 18:24)  And Mosheh listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he said. (Exodus 18:25)  And Mosheh chose able men out of all Yisra’ĕl, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:26)  And they rightly ruled the people at all times – the hard matters they brought to Mosheh, but they rightly ruled every small matter themselves. (Exodus 18:27)  And Mosheh sent off his father-in-law, and he went away to his own land.
 
Becoming His TREASURE!
 
(Exodus 19:1)  In the third month after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on this day they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. (Exodus 19:2)  They set out from Rephiḏim, and had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Yisra’ĕl camped there before the mountain. (Exodus 19:3)  And Mosheh went up to Elohim, and יהוה called to him from the mountain, saying, “This is what you are to say to the house of Yaʽaqoḇ, and declare to the children of Yisra’ĕl: (Exodus 19:4)  ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. (Exodus 19:5)  ‘And now, if you diligently obey My voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is Mine(Exodus 19:6) ‘and you shall be to Me a reign of priests and a set-apart nation.’ Those are the words which you are to speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Exodus 19:7)  And Mosheh came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which יהוה commanded him. (Exodus 19:8)  And all the people answered together and said, “All that יהוה has spoken we shall do.” So Mosheh brought back the words of the people to יהוה. (Exodus 19:9)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am coming to you in the thick cloud, so that the people hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” And Mosheh reported the words of the people to יהוה. (Exodus 19:10)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go to the people and set them apart today and tomorrow. And they shall wash their garments, (Exodus 19:11) and shall be prepared by the third day. For on the third day יהוה shall come down upon Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people. (Exodus 19:12)  “And you shall make a border for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall certainly be put to death. (Exodus 19:13)  ‘Not a hand is to touch it, but he shall certainly be stoned or shot with an arrow, whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, let them come near the mountain.” (Exodus 19:14)  And Mosheh came down from the mountain to the people and set the people apart, and they washed their garments. (Exodus 19:15)  And he said to the people, “Be prepared by the third day. Do not come near a wife.” (Exodus 19:16)  And it came to be, on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain. And the sound of the ram’s horn was very loud, and all the people who were in the camp trembled. (Exodus 19:17)  And Mosheh brought the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. (Exodus 19:18)  And Mount Sinai was in smoke, all of it, because יהוה descended upon it in fire. And its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly. (Exodus 19:19)  And when the blast of the ram’s horn sounded long and became louder and louder, Mosheh spoke, and Elohim answered him by voice. (Exodus 19:20)  And יהוה came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And יהוה called Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up. (Exodus 19:21)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go down, and warn the people, lest they break through unto יהוה to see, and many of them fall. (Exodus 19:22)  “And let the priests who come near יהוה set themselves apart too, lest יהוה break out against them.” (Exodus 19:23)  And Mosheh said to יהוה, “The people are not able to come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Make a border around the mountain and set it apart.’ ” (Exodus 19:24) And יהוה said to him, “Come, go down and then come up, you and Aharon with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to יהוה, lest He break out against them.” (Exodus 19:25)  And Mosheh went down to the people and spoke to them.
 
His commands are no longer burdensome because He gave us His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) on the anniversary of the giving of the Torah (Instructions/Law) which was Shavuot or called Pentecost by many. Will we obey them from a heart of love as Yahshua (Jesus) who was in the beginning (Genesis and of course Mt Sinai) with YHVH and was YHVH and stated how He determines if we love Him or not? (John 14:15)  “If you love me, you shall guard my commands.1 Footnote: 1See Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:16)  “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17) the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you. (John 14:18)  “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (Jon 14:19)  Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20)  In that day you shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21)  “He who (1) possesses my commands and (2) guards them; it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.” Note two requirements to proof of love: Having His commands and Keeping/obeying them. This should remind us quickly of She’mah ‘O Israel (Hear/Listen- and DO!)
 
 Hey- here’s some really good news loved one- none of us are yet perfected and matured, we are all in the process of OVERCOMING! We make a decision to l.ive for our coming King today!
 
(Rev 2:16)  “Repent, or else I shall come to you speedily and fight against them with the sword of my mouth. (Rev 2:17)  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I shall give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I shall give him a white stone, and on the stone a renewed Name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
 
(Rev 2:26)  “And he who overcomes, and guards My works until the end, to him I shall give authority over the nations, (Rev 2:27) and he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the potter’s vessels shall be broken to pieces,1 as I also have received from My Father. Footnote: 1Ps. 2:9. (Rev 2:28)  “And I shall give him the morning star. (Rev 2:29)  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’
 
(Rev 3:5)  “He who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes, and I shall by no means blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I shall confess his name before My Father and before His messengers. (Rev 3:6)  “He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’
 
(Rev 3:12)  “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim, and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim, and My renewed Name. (Rev 3:13)  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’
 
(Rev 3:20)  “See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Rev 3:21) “To him who overcomes I shall give to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Rev 3:22)  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ”
 
(Rev 21:5)  And He who was sitting on the throne said, “See, I make all matters new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.” (Rev 21:6)  And He said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment. (Rev 21:7)  “The one who overcomes shall inherit all this, and I shall be his Elohim and he shall be My son. (Rev 21:8)  “But as for the cowardly (fearful), and untrustworthy, and abominable, and murderers, and those who whore, and drug sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the false, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”
 
Overcoming = obedience from a heart of love for our Messiah- who is, and was and is to come- our BRIDEGROOM! Will we be made worthy to escape all these things that are coming on the earth to TEST to see who the Bride of Messiah is? (Not a pre-trib rapture as we will be used to produce fruit that remains are we are of no value to our coming King who will set up a Kingdom based on His constitution and bylaws- HIS TORAH- Moses and the Prophets!
 
 
Hey they really are not burdensome- we are empowered to DO not hear only. (Jas 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 13:4-23. (Jas 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (Jas 1:23)  Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (Jas 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (Jas 1:25)  But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1See 2:12. (Jas 1:26)  If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (Jas 1:27)  Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
 
Are His Commandments Burdensome? No- because Messiah paid for us to receive His Spirit that they are written on our hearts and we can choose to be obedient- just like Him!
 
(Exodus 20:1)  And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, (Exodus 20:2) “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. (Exodus 20:3) (1) “You have no other mighty ones against my face. (Exodus 20:4) (2) “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, (Exodus 20:5) you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, (Exodus 20:6) but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands. (Exodus 20:7) (3)  “You do not bring1 the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught. Footnote: 1Or lift up, or take. (Exodus 20:8) (4)  “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. (Exodus 20:9)   “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, (Exodus 20:10) but the seventh day is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Footnote: 1There are other Sabbaths, but this is the weekly Sabbath. (Exodus 20:11)  “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. (Exodus 20:12) (5) “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Exodus 20:13) (6)  “You do not murder. (Exodus 20:14) (7) “You do not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:15)  (8) “You do not steal. (Exodus 20:16) (9)  You do not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:17) (10) “You do not covet your neighbor’s house; you do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:18)  And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, (Exodus 20:19) and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:20)  And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do not sin.” (Exodus 20:21)  So the people stood at a distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was. (Exodus 20:22)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ĕl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens. (Exodus 20:23)  ‘You do not make besides Me mighty ones of silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves.
 
Unclean lips must be brought into the Refiner’s fire! What we SAY is of vast import! (Mar 11:23)  “For truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says, shall be done, he shall have whatever he says. (Mar 11:24)  “Because of this I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. (Mar 11:25)  “And whenever you stand praying, if you hold whatever against anyone, forgive, so that your Father in the heavens shall also forgive you your trespasses.
 
 
(Isa 6:1)  In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal. (Isa 6:2)  Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (Isa 6:3)  And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart (Holy), set-apart (Holy), set-apart (Holy) is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!” (Isa 6:4)  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. (Isa 6:5)  And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips (Speech), and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the Sovereign יהוה of hosts.” (Isa 6:6)  And one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. (Isa 6:7)  And he touched my mouth with it, and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your crookedness is taken away, and your sin is covered.” (Isa 6:8)  And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.” (Isa 6:9)  And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do not know.’ (Isa 6:10)  “Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.” (Isa 6:11)  Then I said, “יהוה, until when?” And He answered, “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land is laid waste, a ruin, (Isa 6:12)  and יהוה has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.(Isa 6:13)  “But still, there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The set-apart seed is its stump!” Isa 9:5 for every boot of one trampling in tumult, and coat rolled in blood shall be used for burning and fuel of fire.  Isa 9:6 For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counselor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.
 
Under the Torah (letter of Torah) we have to be caught in the transgression by two or more witnesses- under the spirit of Torah (Better covenant) we can think evil and be counted a transgressor- read carefully below- no wonder He warns us to take every THOUGHT CAPTIVE to the obedience of Messiah Yahshua (Jesus)!
 
Mat 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy but to complete. Footnote: 1The Law and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. Mat 5:18  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 16:17.  Mat 5:19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. (Comment: Too many Pastor LEAST’S teaching that Moses and the Prophet’s – LAW- is done away with) Mat 5:20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, 1 you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 1 Matthew 15:3-9, Mark 7:7-13, John 7:19, Acts 7:53, Romans 2:23-27, Gal. 6:13. Mat 5:21 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. Mat 5:22But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna. Mat 5:23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you, Mat 5:24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Mat 5:25 Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Mat 5:26 “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. Mat 5:27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ Mat 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mat 5:29 “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you that one of your members perishes, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gehenna. Mat 5:30 “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you that one of your members perishes, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gehenna. Mat 5:31 “And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ Mat 5:32  “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, 1 makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery. Footnote: 1Mt. 19:9, Dt. 24:1.
 
Loved One, our prayer for you and your loved ones is that you become ONE with our Messiah and King! Then you will not be separated so easily by the schemes of the god of this world! We decrease so He may increase in us- then we will walk in unity! Thank you again for your prayers: prayers for us to walk in His wisdom and understanding, understanding the times and seasons- obedient to His will and that He directs, protects, provides and uses us to produce fruit for His Kingdom!

Billie and I know that as you make this prayer of intercession for us and our loved ones- Father’s heart is to bless you back with His increase—some 3o, some 60 and some 100 fold! HalleluYah- just makes you want to worship Him----His goodness and mercy endures forever and He knows your situation and your concern for loved ones—SHALOM TO YOUR HEART!
 
Shalom to your home too,

Continued explanation of 2014-15 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt is about YHWH restoring all things, which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
 
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22






RELATIONSHIPS- loving Yahweh 1st and others as ourselves! Shabbat Shalom Loved One Torah Bible Study!

Friday, July 18, 2014 TM

July 19, 2014                                          
 
 
Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
 
 
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies with translations Mighty is YHWH whose mercy endures forever as He restores all things! 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- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…
 
 
Our Creator is all about relationships- with each other and more importantly, our relationship with Yahshua and our Heavenly Father YHWH (Yahweh-Yahuah). Does everything that hangs on Moses and the Prophets come to mind?
 
(Mat 22:36)  “Teacher: which is the greatest command in the Torah?” (Mat 22:37)  And יהושע said to him, “‘you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with your entire mind.’ (Mat 22:38)  “This is the first and great command. (Mat 22:39)  “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Mat 22:40)  “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”  Understand that the first four Commandments of Exodus 20 are about how YHWH declares how He wants to be loved and the next six tell us how to love our neighbor as ourselves.
 
 
Let’s take a closer look with our hearts, souls and bodies in mind of RELATIONSHIPS.  It appears to me that Yahweh’s winds are blowing even righteous trees. Everything (Especially relationships with others) and our Messiah Yahshua (Jesus)) that can be blown away and shaken away by the storms will be removed!  Yahshua states below;
 
(Mat 10:32)  “Everyone, therefore, who shall confess me before men, him I shall also confess before My Father who is in the heavens. (Mat 10:33)  “But whoever shall deny me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the heavens. (Mat 10:34)  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword, 1 Footnote: 1In Luke. 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here. (Mat 10:35)  for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – (Mat 10:36) and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 12:53, Mic. 7:6. (Mat 10:37)  “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.1 Footnote: 1See 19:29, Luke. 14:26. (Mat 10:38) “And he who does not take up his stake and follow after me is not worthy of me. (Mat 10:39)  “He who has found his life shall lose it, and he that has lost his life for my sake shall find it. (Mat 10:40)  He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me.
 
You may be wondering loved one, why in the Scripture above I underlined and bolded worthy of me. Here’s why; as worthiness or value is what makes relationships last forever- loved ones and us and our Heavenly father and us. Remember Esau would not obey- even his earthly father, much less the commandments; and Yahweh tells us He HATED him. Note how important esteeming our Elohim with simple obedience really is. If we SAY we love someone (Yes- especially YHWH) but show no actions that indicate- we are liars- maybe even to ourselves. (John 8:55)  “And you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be like you, a liar. But I do know Him and I guard His Word.1 Footnote: 1See also 15:10.  (John 14:15)  “If you love me, you shall guard my commands.1 Footnote: 1See Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:21)  He who possesses my commands and guards them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.”  Reminds me quickly about what James said (James 2:26) about belief/faith: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works (action) is dead.
 
It appears YHWH is looking to see if we will put relationships in the correct order in obedience to Him and His word, or we will choose to base those relationships on our own experiences and ideas. No wonder he warns us to not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths. (Pro 3:5)  Trust in יהוה with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; (Pro 3:6) know Him in all your ways, and He makes all your paths straight. (Pro 3:7)  Do not be wise in your own eyes1; Fear יהוה and turn away from evil2. Footnotes: 1Isa. 5:21 2Job 28:28.  Understand that every relationship out of His order is IDOLATRY! (Spiritual adultery)
 
Obviously, if we do choose our own path we cannot yield and FOLLOW HIM! Every relationship will be tested for what it really is.  The storms are guaranteed to come to test us. (Mat 7:20)  “So then, by their fruits you shall know them – (Mat 7:21)Not everyone who says to me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens (Forever), but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. (Mat 7:22)  “Many shall say to me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ (Mat 7:23)  “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from e, you who work lawlessness!1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15. (Mat 7:24)  “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine, and does them, shall be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, (Mat 7:25) and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. (Mat 7:26)  “And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not do them, 1 shall be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, Footnote: 1John 3:36. (Mat 7:27) and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.” (Comment: no victory in falling during the storm- due to disobedience of His Torah; which is our solid foundation)
 
Note below that the trap and trial coming is for all who dwell on the earth—we will be here (Not raptured away prior to this testing- please understand we will be tested to see if we are the Bride who has made ourselves ready or we love the world and what is “SEEN” more. The goal is to still be standing having escaped and endured producing much fruit for the Kingdom when He arrives at the LAST TRUMP (Feast of Trumpets) which is 10 days before Judgment Day (Yom Kippur) or also know as Atonement for those who repent during this 10 days of wrath- these times of trial will not come on us as a surprise- we are children of the light and we know the times and seasons but it will come on the world (them) suddenly (like a thief) and they will NOT escape! The weapons of our warfare are not carnal-fleshly, but they are mighty for winning. Our goal is to escape and endure- producing His fruit that remains! We are not to wrestle with flesh and blood- but speak His WORD; which is mighty for pulling down strongholds. This ability comes from drawing near to our Elohim through the shed blood of Yahshua, being filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (HOLY SPIRIT) and building up our most set apart faith by praying in His Spirit! Greater is He in us than those in the world! We must have trust like Elijah did when the soldiers were sent to arrest him—he spoke and they died- twice—but the third 100 sent ASKED- not ORDERED him to appear before the King! That’s what we need- relationship with our Heavenly Father and His son at His right hand as He commands His angels concerning us.
 
What can we do- what prayer should we really utter in desperation to our Heavenly Father? (Luke 21:31)  So you also, when you see these matters take place, know that the reign of Elohim is near. (Luke 21:32)  “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all shall have taken place. (Luke 21:33)  “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Luke 21:34)  “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come on you suddenly. (Luke 21:35)  For it shall come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth. (Luke 21:36)  “Watch then at all times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.”
 
Do we call Him Lord and Master but NOT do what He says? Time for stopping pointing of the finger and some serious introspection! How can we become more of His image without us doing all the repenting? Especially since we know He is the same yesterday, today, and forever and He changes NOT?
 
(Luke 6:41)  “And why do you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, but are not aware of the plank in your own eye? (Luke 6:42)  “Or how are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the splinter that is in your eye,’ not seeing the plank in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to take out the splinter that is in your brother’s eye. (Luke 6:43)  “For a good tree does not yield rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree yield good fruit. (Luke 6:44)  “For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, or do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. (Luke 6:45)  “The good man brings forth what is good out of the good treasure of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked out of the wicked treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart his mouth speaks. (Luke 6:46)  “But why do you call me ‘Master, Master,’ and do not do what I say? 1 Footnote: 1see vv. 47-49, Mt. 7:24-28, Luke. 8:21, John 3:36, James 2:17-24.
 
Of course you and I know that we are a SPIRIT being, we have a SOUL (mind will intellect and emotions) and we live in a BODY. Our spirits and souls will absolutely live somewhere forever; while our bodies are guaranteed to go back to the dust where YHWH created us from, until we get resurrected bodies; which are glorified. These glorified bodies will be given the obedient lovers of YHWH”S instructions- TORAH! But, will we be separated from our Father’s Kingdom from a lack of relationship based on LOVE and proven up by obedient actions based on loving Him. Furthermore; will we also be separated from those we claim to love- by our lack of loving actions as per the instructions of YHWH toward those “Loved ones” we claim we love and desire relationship with? Maybe you and I should get back to the basics of LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS- by showing honor to His Instructions and each other by DOING HIS COMMANDS LIKE HE HAS INSTRUCTED AND NOT LEAN ON OUR OWN UNDERSTANDINGS! Then we will produce fruit that remains as this glorifies our Father in Heaven! (Luke 6:20)  And He, lifting up His eyes toward His taught ones, said, “Blessed are the poor, 1 because yours is the reign of Elohim. Footnote: 1Isa. 11:4, James 2:5. (Luke 6:21)  “Blessed are you who hunger now, because you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, because you shall laugh. (Luke 6:22)  “Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall cut you off, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as wicked, for the sake of the Son of Aḏam. (Luke 6:23)  “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in the heaven, for that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
 
We now turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah Scriptures.
 
 
This Week’s Torah Scriptures: Beshalach When He Sent/Let Go
 
Exodus 13:17-17:16; Judges 4:4-5:31; John 6:22-40
 
 
His Power/mercy= Our Deliverance! Pharaoh (U.N. One World Order) will have what seems to be natural power to overcome us--- but we will be walking in His power who made all that is- seen and unseen!
 
(Exodus 13:17)  And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 13:18)  So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 13:19)  And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.” (Exodus 13:20)  And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the wilderness. (Exodus 13:21)  And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. (Exodus 13:22)  The column of cloud did not cease by day or the column of fire by night, before the people. (Exodus 14:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 14:2)  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Baʽal Tsephon – camp before it by the sea. (Exodus 14:3)  “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’ (Exodus 14:4) “And I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה.” And they did so. (Exodus 14:5)  And it was reported to the sovereign of Mitsrayim that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra’ĕl go from serving us?” (Exodus 14:6)  So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him. (Exodus 14:7)  And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Mitsrayim with officers over all of them. (Exodus 14:8)  And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim, and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of Yisra’ĕl went out defiantly. (Exodus 14:9)  And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Baʽal Tsephon. (Exodus 14:10)  And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted their eyes and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly afraid, so the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה. (Exodus 14:11)  And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the wilderness because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have done to us, to bring us up out of Mitsrayim? (Exodus 14:12)  “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Mitsrayim, saying, ‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been better for us to serve the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.” (Exodus 14:13)  And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Standstill, and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today. For the Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again. (Exodus 14:14)  יהוה does fight for you, and you keep still.”
 
Faith without action is dead- like the body without the spirit man in it! (It’s still faith- just cannot produce any fruit)
 
(Exodus 14:15)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward. (Exodus 14:16)  “And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exodus 14:17)  “And I see I am hardening the hearts of the Mitsrites, and they shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exodus 14:18)  “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I am esteemed through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.” (Exodus 14:19)  And the Messenger of Elohim, who went before the camp of Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from before them and stood behind them, (Exodus 14:20) and came between the camp of the Mitsrites and the camp of Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by night, and the one did not come near the other all the night. (Exodus 14:21)  And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. (Exodus 14:22)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Exodus 14:23)  And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. (Exodus 14:24)  And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה looked down upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and cloud, and He brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion. (Exodus 14:25)  And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl, for יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.” (Exodus 14:26)  Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters come back upon the Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” (Exodus 14:27)  And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its usual flow, at the break of day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into it. Thus יהוה overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea, (Exodus 14:28) and the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, and not even one was left of them. (Exodus 14:29)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left. (Comment: the “Red” sea crossing site was found in 1000’ feet of water- even Pharaoh’s gold encased chariot wheels and may be seen at www.wyattmuseum.com) (Exodus 14:30)  Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that day out of the hand of the Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on the seashore. (Exodus 14:31)  And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in Mitsrayim, and the people feared יהוה, and believed יהוה and His servant Mosheh.
 
Song of Moses (Comment- I have thought for a long time that the Song of Moses represents the following of the Torah and the goodness/mercy and power of love Yahweh displayed under His Covenant; and the Song of the Lamb represents the testimony of Yahshua and the goodness/mercy and power of love He paid for to reinstate the Melchizedek Priesthood that Adam was under- as Yahshua is the EXACT representation of the Father- full of grace and truth! It is always good to sing about His goodness and wonderful acts of compassion and power for those that love Him!)
 
(Exodus 15:1)  Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to יהוה, and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! (Exodus 15:2)  “Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my deliverance. He is my Ěl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and I exalt Him. (Exodus 15:3)  יהוה is a man of battle, יהוה is His Name. (Exodus 15:4)  He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his chosen officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds. (Exodus 15:5)  “The depths covered them; they went down to the bottom like a stone. (Exodus 15:6)  “Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy. (Exodus 15:7)  “And in the greatness of your excellence you pulled down those who rose up against you. You sent forth your wrath, it consumed them like stubble. (Exodus 15:8)  “And with the wind of your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea. (Exodus 15:9)  “The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil, my being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.(Exodus 15:10)  “You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them, they sank like lead in the mighty waters. (Exodus 15:11)  “Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty ones? Who is like you, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders? (Exodus 15:12)  “You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them. (Exodus 15:13)  In your kindness you led the people whom you have redeemed; in your strength you guided them to your set-apart dwelling. (Exodus 15:14)  “Peoples heard, they trembled, and anguish gripped the inhabitants of Philistia. (Exodus 15:15)  “Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kenaʽan melted. (Exodus 15:16)  “Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of your arm they are as silent as a stone, until your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people, whom you have bought, pass over. (Exodus 15:17)  “You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O יהוה, which you have made for your own dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה, which your hands have prepared. (Exodus 15:18)יהוה reigns forever and ever.” (Exodus 15:19)  The horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea. (Exodus 15:20)  And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. (Exodus 15:21)  And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!” (Exodus 15:22)  And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. (Exodus 15:23)  And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah. (Exodus 15:24)  And the people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, “What are we to drink?” (Exodus 15:25)  Then he cried out to יהוה, and יהוה showed him a tree. And when he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a law and a right-ruling for them, and there He tried them.
 
Obedience brings divine health and victory even over H1N1, space weapons of mass destruction, Nephillim giants or alien beings/demons and all the wicked devices of Pharaoh!
 
(Exodus 15:26)  And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.” (Exodus 15:27)  And they came to Ělim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.
 
Yep! Obedience from love even brings PROVISION! (We will be tested on that)
 
(Exodus 16:1)  And they set out from Ělim, and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ělim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 16:2)  And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness. (Exodus 16:3)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of יהוה in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! You have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” (Exodus 16:4)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to try them, whether they walk in My Torah or not. (Exodus 16:5)  “And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” (Exodus 16:6)  And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, “At evening you shall know that יהוה has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 16:7)  “And in the morning you shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears your grumblings against יהוה. And what are we that you grumble against us?” (Exodus 16:8)  And Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your grumblings which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against יהוה.” (Exodus 16:9)  And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come near before יהוה, for He has heard your grumblings.’ ” (Exodus 16:10) And it came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl that they looked toward the wilderness and see, the esteem of יהוה appeared in the cloud. (Exodus 16:11)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 16:12) “I have heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak to them, saying, ‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the morning you are to be satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Exodus 16:13) And it came to be that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp. (Exodus 16:14)  And the layer of dew went up, and see, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground. (Exodus 16:15)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them, “It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat. (Exodus 16:16)  “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ” (Exodus 16:17) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less. (Exodus 16:18)  And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need. (Exodus 16:19)  And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.” (Exodus 16:20)  And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them. (Exodus 16:21)  And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted. (Exodus 16:22)  And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread; two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh. (Exodus 16:23)  And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ” (Exodus 16:24) And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it. (Exodus 16:25)  And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field. (Exodus 16:26)  “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.” (Exodus 16:27)  And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. (Exodus 16:28)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard my commands and My Torot1? Footnote: 1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching. (Exodus 16:29)  “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place; do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.” (Exodus 16:30)  So the people rested on the seventh day1. Footnote: The seventh day of the week, the weekly Sabbath, was observed before the Ten Words were given on Mt. Sinai. (Exodus 16:31)  And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with honey. (Exodus 16:32)  And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ” (Exodus 16:33) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.” (Exodus 16:34)  As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before the Witness, to keep. (Exodus 16:35)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Kenaʽan. (Exodus 16:36) and an omer is one-tenth of an ĕphah.
 
We’ll get to face and overcome the giants in the land also!
 
(Exodus 17:1)  And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of יהוה, and camped in Rephiḏim. And there was no water for the people to drink. (Exodus 17:2)  Therefore the people strove with Mosheh, and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Mosheh said to them, “Why do you strive with me? Why do you try יהוה?” (Exodus 17:3)  And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Mosheh, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” (Exodus 17:4)  Then Mosheh cried out to יהוה, saying, “What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!” (Exodus 17:5)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Yisra’ĕl. And take in your hand your rod with which you smote the river, and go. (Exodus 17:6)  “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.” And Mosheh did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 17:7)  And he called the name of the place Massah and Meriḇah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because they ‘tried’ יהוה, saying, “Is יהוה in our midst or not?” (Exodus 17:8)  And Amalĕq came and fought with Yisra’ĕl in Rephiḏim. (Exodus 17:9)  And Mosheh said to Yehoshua, “Choose for us men and go out, fight with Amalĕq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill with the rod of Elohim in my hand.” (Exodus 17:10)  And Yehoshua did as Mosheh said to him, to fight with Amalĕq. And Mosheh, Aharon, and Ḥur went up to the top of the hill. (Exodus 17:11)  And it came to be, when Mosheh held up his hand, that Yisra’ĕl prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalĕq prevailed. (Exodus 17:12)  But Mosheh’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aharon and Ḥur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exodus 17:13)  And Yehoshua defeated Amalĕq and his people with the edge of the sword. (Exodus 17:14)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write this for a remembrance in the book and recite it in the hearing of Yehoshua that I shall completely blot out the remembrance of Amalĕq from under the heavens.” (Exodus 17:15)  And Mosheh built an altar and called its name, יהוה Nissi, (Exodus 17:16) for he said, Because a hand is on the throne of Yah, יהוה is to fight against Amalĕq, from generation to generation.”
 
 
Yah’s enemies will be scattered and destroyed- even by the least of us!
 
(Judges 4:4)  And Deḇorah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappiḏoth, was ruling Yisra’ĕl at that time. (Judges 4:5)  And she was dwelling under the palm tree of Deḇorah between Ramah and Bĕyth Ěl in the mountains of Ephrayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl came up to her for right-ruling. (Judges 4:6)  And she sent and called for Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam from Qeḏesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl commanded, ‘Go, and you shall draw towards Mount Taḇor, and shall take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zeḇulun, (Judges 4:7) and I shall draw unto you Sisera, the commander of Yaḇin’s army, with his chariots and his company at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand’?” (Judges 4:8)  And Baraq said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you do not go with me, I do not go.” (Judges 4:9)  And she said, “I shall certainly go with you. Only, there shall be no esteem for you in the journey you are taking, for יהוה is going to sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deḇorah arose and went with Baraq to Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:10)  And Baraq called Zeḇulun and Naphtali to Qeḏesh. And he went up – ten thousand men under his command – and Deḇorah went up with him. (Judges 4:11)  And Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, of the children of Ḥoḇaḇ the father-in-law of Mosheh, had separated himself from the Qĕynites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Tsaʽanayim, which is beside Qeḏesh. (Judges 4:12)  And they reported to Sisera that Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam had gone up to Mount Taḇor. (Judges 4:13)  So Sisera called all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Ḥarosheth Haggoyim to the wadi Qishon. (Judges 4:14)  And Deḇorah said to Baraq, “Rise up! For this is the day in which יהוה has given Sisera into your hand. Has not יהוה gone out before you?” And Baraq went down from Mount Taḇor with ten thousand men after him. (Judges 4:15)  And יהוה destroyed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Baraq. And Sisera leaped from his chariot and fled away on foot. (Judges 4:16)  But Baraq pursued the chariots and the army as far as Ḥarosheth Haggoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, not one was left. (Judges 4:17)  Sisera, meanwhile, had fled on foot to the tent of Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, for there was peace between Yaḇin sovereign of Ḥatsor and the house of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite. (Judges 4:18)  And Yaʽĕl went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me, do not fear.” So he turned aside with her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket. (Judges 4:19)  And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him. (Judges 4:20)  And he said to her, “Stand at the door of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and asks you, and says, ‘Is there a man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’ ” (Judges 4:21)  But Yaʽĕl, Ḥeḇer’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into the side of his head, and it went down into the ground – for he was fast asleep and exhausted – and he died. (Judges 4:22)  And see, as Baraq pursued Sisera, Yaʽĕl came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, let me show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in the side of his head. (Judges 4:23)  And on that day Elohim humbled Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan in the presence of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 4:24)  And the hand of the children of Yisra’ĕl grew stronger and stronger against Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan, until they had cut off Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan. (Judges 5:1)  And on that day Deḇorah and Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam sang, saying, (Judges 5:2) “For leaders leading in Yisra’ĕl, for the people volunteering, bless יהוה! (Judges 5:3)  “Hear O sovereigns! Give ear, O princes! I, I do sing to יהוה; I sing praise to יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:4)  יהוה, when you went out from Sĕʽir, when you stepped from the field of Eḏom, the earth shook and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water. (Judges 5:5)  “The mountains flowed at the presence of יהוה, this Sinai, at the presence of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl. m(Judges 5:6)  “In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Yaʽĕl, the highways were deserted, and the travelers went in crooked ways. (Judges 5:7)  “Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ĕl arose. (Judges 5:8)  “They chose new mighty ones, and then fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty thousand in Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 5:9)  “My heart is towards the lawgivers of Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless יהוה! (Judges 5:10)  “You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets and you who walk along the way, declare it! (Judges 5:11)  “By the voice of shouters, between the places of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of יהוה, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the people of יהוה shall go down to the gates. (Judges 5:12)  “Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Arise, Baraq, and lead your captives away, O son of Aḇinoʽam! (Judges 5:13)  “Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; יהוה came down for me against the mighty ones. (Judges 5:14)  “Out of Ephrayim their root is against Amalĕq. After you, Binyamin, with your peoples, out of Maḵir lawgivers came down, and out of Zeḇulun those who handle the scribe’s reed. (Judges 5:15)  “And the heads of Yissasḵar were with Deḇorah. And as Yissasḵar, so was Baraq sent into the valley under his command. Among the divisions of Re’uḇĕn there were great searching of heart. (Judges 5:16)  “Why did you remain among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? The divisions of Re’uḇĕn have great searching of heart. (Judges 5:17)  “Gilʽaḏ remained beyond the Yardĕn, and why did Dan remain on ships? Ashĕr continued at the seashore, and remained by its landing places. (Judges 5:18)  “Zeḇulun is a people who risked their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the field. (Judges 5:19)  “Sovereigns came, they fought, then the sovereigns of Kenaʽan fought in Taʽanaḵ, by the waters of Meḡiddo; they took no spoils of silver. (Judges 5:20)  “From the heavens they fought; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera. (Judges 5:21)  “The wadi of Qishon swept them away, that age-old wadi, the wadi of Qishon. O my being, you have trampled in strength! (Judges 5:22)  “Then stamped hoofs of horses, with the galloping, galloping of his steeds. (Judges 5:23)  ‘Curse Mĕroz,’ said a messenger of יהוה, ‘curse, curse its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of יהוה, to the help of יהוה among the mighty.’ (Judges 5:24)  “Blessed above women is Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite – above women in tents she is blessed. (Judges 5:25)  “He asked for water, she gave milk; she brought out curdled milk in a bowl for nobles. (Judges 5:26)  She stretched her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. Then she pounded Sisera, she smashed his head, she pierced and struck through the side of his head. (Judges 5:27)  “Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell – destroyed. (Judges 5:28)  “Through the window the mother of Sisera looked, and cried out through the lattice, ‘Why does his chariot delay to come? Why have the steps of his chariots tarried?’ (Judges 5:29)  “The wise ones of her princesses answered her, indeed, she answered herself, (Judges 5:30)  ‘Do they not find and divide the spoil: a girl or two for each man; a spoil of dyed work for Sisera, a spoil of dyed work embroidered, dyed work richly embroidered for the necks of the looter?’ (Judges 5:31)  So do all your enemies perish O יהוה! But let those who love Him be like the sun rising in its might!” And the land had rest forty years.
 
After the storm- MIRACULOUS DELIVERANCE and “FOREVER LIFE”!
 
John 6:22 On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone – John 6:23  but other boats came from Kinnereth, near the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks – John 6:24  therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע was not there, or His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע. John 6:25 and having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” John 6:26 יהושע answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied. John 6:27  “Do not labor for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam shall give you,1 for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on Him.” Footnote: 1See vv. 35, 48, 51, 58, and Mt. 4:4. John 6:28 so they said to Him, “What should we do to work the works of Elohim?” John 6:29 יהושע answered and said to them, “This is the work of Elohim that you believe in Him whom He sent.”  John 6:30 So they said to Him, “What sign then would You do, so that we see and believe You? What would you do?  John 6:31 “Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it has been written, ‘He gave them bread out of the heaven to eat.’ ”  John 6:32 Therefore יהושע said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Mosheh did not give you the bread out of the heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of the heaven. John 6:33 ‘The bread of Elohim is He who comes down out of the heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:34 So they said to Him, “Master, give us this bread always.”  John 6:35 and יהושע said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall not get hungry at all, and he who believes in me shall not get thirsty at all.  John 6:36 “But I said to you that you have seen me, and still do not believe.  John 6:37 “All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and the one who comes to me I shall by no means cast out.  John 6:38 “I have come down out of the heaven, not to do my own desire, but the desire of Him who sent me.  John 6:39 “This is the desire of the Father who sent me, that all He has given me I should not lose of it, but should raise it in the last day. John 6:40 And this is the desire of Him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him should possess everlasting life. And I shall raise him up in the last day.”

Continued explanation of 2014-15 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt is about YHWH restoring all things, which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
 
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
