Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is
attached for ease of print and study format- YHWH is restoring all things and
that includes us who were once DRY BONES!
Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who KNOW HIM and call on His name will be delivered-
HalleluYAH!
Why are we on a different
schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is
about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s
study…
Loved one, the
Feast of Trumpets approaches and will be by most reckonings this evening (9-26) at sundown! (The Orthodox use the Jewish calendar which celebrated Yom Teurah
Wednesday evening the 24th of September) Hallelu-Yah! This means
for planning purposes the Day of Atonement (Commonly
called Judgment Day by many Christians in regard to the final one) also
known as Yom Kippur will be the evening 9th day counting from Monday
evening at sundown. If I am counting correctly that would make Day of Atonement
on Sunday; the evening of October 5th and all day the 6th of October
which will be the day we afflict ourselves with repentant and sobering-somber
fasting. Then many of us will start the
Feast of Tabernacles on the evening of October
10 and will celebrate the LAST GREAT DAY on Shabbat, October 18.
Please remember to NOT judge others about WHEN they
are observing the Feasts because whichever time is okay as we are not
back in Jerusalem and “KEEPING THE FEASTS” we are only still scattered and
practicing obedience best we can. I liken that to those loved ones among us who
insist we use and pronounce the name they understand to be correct for Yahshua,
The Ruach HaKodesh, and the Father. I expect we are all wrong and Yahshua will
teach us many corrections when we abide with Him in the Sabbath Day Millennium.
I
have 3 observations for you and I to consider carefully Loved One. I have
learned from many great teachers concerning the corrected Biblical Calendar-
including Michael Rood whom I esteem. Having said that- have you noticed like I
have- that all the signs of the Heavens seem to not occur on any of the
corrected Biblical Holidays? Let’s take a look at some of my
observations:
First; The 4 blood red moons of 2014 and 2015 all
fall on Jewish calendar Passover (2) and
Feast of Tabernacles (2)
Joel 2:29 “And also on the male servants and
on the female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days. Joel 2:30 “And I shall give signs in the heavens and
upon the earth: blood and fire and columns of smoke, Joel
2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before
the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. Joe 2:32 “And
it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be delivered1.
For on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim there shall be an escape2 as יהוה has said, and among the survivors whom יהוה calls. Footnotes: 1Acts 2:21, Rom. 10:13. 2 Isaiah
4:2-3, Obad. v. 17, Rev. 14:1.
Act 2:18 and also on my male servants and
on My female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days, and they shall
prophesy. Act 2:19 ‘And I shall show wonders in
the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of
smoke. Act 2:20 ‘The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid
day of יהוה.
Rev 6:12 And I looked when He opened the
sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. Rev
6:13 And the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops
its unripe figs, being shaken by a strong wind. Rev
6:14 and heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved out of its place.
Secondly; the Shmeitah Judgments All based on Jewish
calendar
the last day prior to Feast of Trumpets which is considered a New Year or Rosh
Hashanah- which is not at all the Biblical calendar of beginning of months in
AVIV- just before Passover in the Spring; (2001 Elul 29 (Market crashed nearly 700 points), 2008 (Market crashed 777.7 points); Elul 29 2015 (September 13, 2015 what sort of financial collapse can we expect
here?)
Lastly, the Sign in the Heavens regarding
Revelation 12:1-2 concerning the virgin giving birth based on Feast of Trumpets
Jewish Calendar 2017:
Revelation 12:1 and a great sign was seen in the
heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown
of twelve stars. Revelation 12:2 and being
pregnant, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
So what do we think on these matters? I recently heard a teaching
by Joseph Good which frankly, I always felt way too orthodox in Judaic
traditions for me to glean from- BUT- having said that- he made at least a
valid point about the last High Priest (before the scattering of Judah) had
determined since it was no longer safe to gather the 40 pairs of witnesses to
establish the “New Moon Sighting” (Roman authorities would punish them with
death) that the calendar put in effect at that time was still in effect. That’s
foreign to everything I have considered. He mentioned that when Yithro (Jethro-
Moses father-in-law) suggested for Moses to have others help him with judging
the insignificant matters- that Yahweh
would hold him accountable (not the people for disobedience if he commanded
them wrong) but hold Moses accountable for disobedience if he taught contrary
to what was given him. That is, the people would not be judged but Moses or the
Leader would. That seems farfetched at best so- hmm, well not sure I agree with
that at all- but I want to throw out this thought for us all to prayerfully
consider- WHY IS YAHUAH (YHWH_ YAHWEH, etc.) confirming ALL HIS Signs in the
Heavens with the NOT BIBLICALLY CORRECTED HEBREW CALENDAR but the JEWISH
CALENDAR? I would appreciate your insights here, because in my mind it appears
our Creator IS confirming His signs with the Jewish Calendar Set-Apart r
Holy Days, which make no sense to me..
The GOOD NEWS is
that we will someday all be back in Jerusalem KEEPING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
and Yahshua will be our teacher as He corrects our theology totally! Main
problem I see regarding that; (Hopefully
my understanding and timing is incorrect) the cleansing of Israel seems to
be first: (Zechariah 13:7) “O sword, awake against My
Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion,” declares יהוה of hosts. “Smite the Shepherd, and let the sheep be scattered.
But I shall turn my hand upon the little ones. (Zechariah
13:8) And it shall be throughout
all the soil,” declares יהוה, “that two thirds therein are cut off and die, and one third is
left therein. (Zechariah 13:9) “And I shall bring the third into fire, and
refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is tried. They shall
call on My Name1, and I shall answer
them. I shall say, ‘This is my people,’ while they say, ‘יהוה is my Elohim.’ ” Footnote:
1Zeph. 3:9.
Certainly
seems we will keep the feasts (At least Tabernacles) properly when Messiah
comes!
(Zechariah 14:16) And
it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against
Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign,
יהוה of hosts,
and to
observe the Festival of Booths (Tabernacles). (Zechariah 14:17) And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans
of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign (King), יהוה of hosts, on them there is to be no
rain.
Above is during the Millennium reign of Yahshua (Jesus) loved one, so I expect
that is a good enough reason for Truth Searchers like us to start learning
obedience in “Keeping the Feasts!”
Here is the Hebrew idiom the Day that no man knows the day or the hour!
(Feast of Trumpets)
(Numbers 29:1) ‘And in the
seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a set-apart gathering,
you do no servile work, it is a day of blowing the trumpets for you.
(Numbers 29:2)
‘And you shall prepare a burnt offering as a sweet fragrance to יהוה: one young bull, one ram, seven
lambs a year old, perfect ones, (Numbers 29:3) and their grain offering: fine flour mixed
with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,
(Numbers 29:4) and one-tenth for each of the
seven lambs, (Numbers 29:5) and one male goat as a sin offering, to make
atonement for you, (Numbers 29:6) besides the burnt offering with its grain
offering for the New Moon, the continual burnt offering with its grain
offering, and their drink offerings, according to their right-ruling, as a
sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Numbers 29:7) ‘And on the tenth day of this seventh month you have a set-apart gathering,
and you shall afflict your beings, you do no work. (Atonement- Yom Kippur)
We must have the power to remain in Him (We need
oil- Ruach HaKodesh for our lamps), the TRUE VINE. (1) His words must stay in
us- we are not allowed to speak facts of the storm or evil report- we must
agree with Yahshua; (2) We must stay in Him by obeying Him and His commands- we
are not allowed to stay in pagan rituals and evil habits/works- it is called
REPENT! (3) We are not allowed to NOT forgive others as there is only one Torah
(Law) giver and one Judge- if we do not obey and forgive others whether they
deserve forgiveness or not, we will not be forgiven- period. Ummmm- that means
we will have failed and be destined to HELL loved one! Not an optimal forever
destination. This is HOW we are
commanded to pray:
(Mat 6:5)
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the
hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the
corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their
reward. (Mat 6:6) “But you, when you
pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is
in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you
openly. (Mat 6:7) “And when praying, do
not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard
for their many words. (Mat 6:8) “Therefore do not be
like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (Mat 6:9) “This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is
in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, (Mat
6:10) let your reign come, let your desire be
done on earth as it is in heaven. (Mat 6:11) ‘Give us today our daily bread. (Mat 6:12) ‘And forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Mat
6:13) ‘And do not lead us into trial,
1 but deliver us from the wicked one
– because yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: 1See 26:41. (Mat 6:14) “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father shall also forgive you. (Mat 6:15) “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither
shall your Father forgive your trespasses.
Bless and Do Not Curse- remember- we are not allowed to sit on the Judgment Seat!
(Mat 5:43)
“You heard that it was said, 1 ‘You shall love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Footnote: 1Hate
your enemy was “said,” not “written.” (Mat
5:44) “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless
those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting
you and persecuting you, (Mat 5:45) so that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good
and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.1 Footnote: 1Lk.
6:35, Acts 14:16-17. (Mat 5:46) “If you love those
loving you, what reward do you have? Are the tax collectors not doing the same
too?
(Luke 6:26)
Woe unto
you, when all men shall speak well of you! In the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke 6:27) But I say unto you that hear, love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, (Luke 6:28) bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully
use you. Obedience here breaks hasatan’s cycle of curse off them and us!
Loved One- we need to take stock of what is happening
around the world, considering the signs we are seeing! Remember; freedom is
only given and retained by those who remain dependent (Obedient) on and to YHWH
Almighty. The watchmen seem to be sounding their trumpets around the world
to wake up the Body of Messiah, but much of His body is sound asleep and
despises the watchmen; so our question should be, once again- are we also asleep? Have our erroneous
preconceived perceptions and extra-biblical traditions taught by much of
this last day’s Laodicean church system around the world- left us unaware of
YHWH’s planned judgment on a disobedient people? Remember- YHWH judges His
“church” first who claim to love Him but worship
Him in VAIN; teaching as His
doctrines the commandments of men (extra-biblical traditions). He warned us; “DO NOT learn the ways of the heathens”
and say we are worshipping (Obeying) Him!
(Amos
3:6) If a Trumpet (ram’s horn) is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If
there is calamity in a city, shall
not יהוה have done it? (Amos
3:7) For the Master יהוה (Yahshua) does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His
servants the prophets. (Amos 3:8) A
lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה has spoken! Who would not prophesy?
(Luke
17:26) “And as it came to be in the days of Noaḥ, so also shall it
be in the days of the (coming of) Son of Aḏam: (Yahshua)
(Luke 17:27)
“They were eating, they were drinking, they
were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ went into
the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. (Luke
17:28) “And likewise, as it came to
be in the days of Lot: They were eating, they were drinking, they were
buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, (Luke
17:29) but on the day Lot went out
of Seḏom it rained fire and sulphur
from heaven and destroyed all.
There is judgment at the door- for even the
righteous who disobey YHWH!
Let’s look
at our example given us as judgment on Korah and even falls on Miriam, Aaron
and even Moses for their rebellions and none of them got to enter the Promised
Land: (Numbers 26:9) And the sons of Eliyaḇ: Nemu’ĕl, and Dathan, and
Aḇiram. This Dathan and Aḇiram, were the called ones of the congregation, who
contended against Mosheh and against Aharon in the company of Qoraḥ (Korah), when they contended against יהוה, (Numbers 26:10)
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with
Qoraḥ when that company died, when
the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men. And they became a sign,
(Judgment on a rebellious people)
Are we also rebelling with our tongues? Let’s
Obey and speak a GOOD REPORT! (Numbers 27:22) And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set
him before Elʽazar the priest and before the entire congregation, (Numbers 27:23) and laid his hands on him and
commissioned him, as יהוה commanded by the hand of Mosheh. (Numbers 26:65) יהוה had said of them, “They shall certainly
die in the wilderness.” And not a man
was left of them, except Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
(The two
spies with a good report and confession that agrees with YHWH- NOT the facts
reporting were all that entered the Promises!) We bless and curse
not- that allows Yahshua to reign in us-
When
we return curse for a curse we are allowing hasatan to reign in our lives! He
will do harm to us and all our loved ones- make us absolutely miserable, we are
allowing demonic hordes against us free access- let’s consider carefully our
words spoken or written about others- YHWH is not mocked – He can and will repay
if we stay stubborn hearted loved one. We must return a blessing or at least
remain silent. YHWH is quite capable of sitting in the Judgment Seat as He
alone knows the actions, intents and purposes of the heart! With those strong reminders of what we are
to report in the storm; let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah
Study and Scriptures!
Here are this week’s
Torah Scriptures:
Shemeni “Eighth”
Leviticus 9:1- 11:47; 2nd Samuel 6:1-7:17;
Acts 10:1-48 (Extended)
(Leviticus 9:1) And
on the eighth day it came to be that Mosheh called Aharon and his sons and the
elders of Yisra’ĕl. (Leviticus 9:2) And he said to Aharon, “Take for yourself a
young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, a perfect one, and
bring them before יהוה. (Leviticus 9:3)
“And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Take a male goat as a
sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, perfect ones, as a burnt
offering, (Leviticus 9:4) and a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to
slaughter before יהוה, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today יהוה shall appear to
you.’ ” (Leviticus 9:5) And they took what Mosheh commanded before
the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before יהוה. (Leviticus 9:6)
And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה commanded you to do, so that the esteem of
יהוה
appears to you.” (Leviticus 9:7) And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Go to the altar,
and prepare your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for
yourself and for the people. And make the offering of the people, and make
atonement for them, as יהוה has commanded.” (Leviticus 9:8) So Aharon came near to the altar and
slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for him. (Leviticus 9:9)
And the sons of Aharon brought the blood to him, and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured the blood
at the base of the altar. (Leviticus 9:10) And the fat, and the kidneys, and the
appendage on the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh. (Leviticus 9:11) And the flesh and the skin he burned with
fire outside the camp. (Leviticus 9:12) And he slaughtered the burnt offering, and
the sons of Aharon presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar
all around. (Leviticus 9:13) And they presented the burnt offering to him,
with its pieces and head, and he burned them on the altar. (Leviticus 9:14)
And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them with the burnt
offering on the altar. (Leviticus 9:15) And he brought the people’s offering, and
took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slaughtered it
and made it a sin offering, like the first one. (Leviticus
9:16) And he brought the burnt
offering and made it, according to the right-ruling. (Leviticus
9:17) He also brought the grain
offering, and filled his hand with it, and burned it on the altar, besides the
burnt offering of the morning. (Leviticus 9:18) And he slaughtered the bull and the ram as
peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aharon’s sons presented to him
the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar all around, (Leviticus
9:19) and the fat from the bull and the ram, the fat tail, and the
covering, and the kidneys, and the appendage on the liver, (Leviticus 9:20) and they placed the fat on the
breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar. (Leviticus
9:21) But the breasts and the
right thigh Aharon waved as a wave offering before יהוה, as Mosheh had commanded. (Leviticus 9:22)
Aharon then lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them, and
came down from making the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace
offerings. (Leviticus 9:23) And Mosheh and Aharon went into the Tent of
Meeting, and came out and blessed the people. And the esteem of יהוה appeared to all
the people, (Leviticus 9:24) and fire came out
from before יהוה and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. And
all the people saw and cried aloud and fell on their faces.
Follow His commands don’t make up our own! Don’t even grieve for those
punished for that!
(Leviticus 10:1) And
Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, the sons of Aharon, each took his fire
holder and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and brought strange fire
before יהוה, which He had not commanded them. (Leviticus 10:2) And fire came out from יהוה and consumed
them, and they died before יהוה. (Leviticus 10:3) Then Mosheh said to Aharon, “This is what יהוה spoke,
saying, ‘By those who come near me let me be set-apart! And before all the
people let me be esteemed!’ ” And Aharon was silent. (Leviticus 10:4)
And Mosheh called to Misha’ĕl and to Eltsaphan, the sons of Uzzi’ĕl the
uncle of Aharon, and said to them, “Come near; take your brothers from before
the set-apart place out of the camp.” (Leviticus 10:5) So they came near and took them by their long
shirts out of the camp, as Mosheh had said. (Leviticus
10:6) And Mosheh said to Aharon,
and to Elʽazar and to Ithamar, his sons “Do not unbind your heads nor tear your
garments, lest you die, and wrath comes upon all the people. But let your
brothers, all the house of Yisra’ĕl, bewail the burning which יהוה has kindled. (Leviticus 10:7)
“And do not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die,
for the anointing oil of יהוה is upon you.” And they did according to the word of Mosheh. (Leviticus 10:8)
And יהוה
spoke to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 10:9) “Do not drink wine or strong drink, you, nor
your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, lest you die – a law
forever throughout your generations, (Leviticus 10:10) so as to make a distinction between the
set-apart and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean, (Leviticus 10:11)
and to teach the children of Yisra’ĕl all the laws which יהוה has spoken to
them by the hand of Mosheh.” (Leviticus 10:12) And Mosheh spoke to Aharon, and to Elʽazar
and Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the grain offering that is left over
from the offerings made by fire to יהוה, and eat it without leaven beside the
altar, for it is most set-apart. (Leviticus 10:13) “And you shall eat it in a set-apart place,
because it is yours by law and your sons’ by law, of the offerings made by fire
to יהוה,
for so I have been commanded. (Leviticus 10:14) “And the breast of the wave offering and the
thigh of the contribution you eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and
your daughters with you. For they are yours by law and your sons’ by law, which
are given from the slaughtering’s of peace offerings of the children of
Yisra’ĕl. (Leviticus 10:15) “The thigh of the contribution and the breast
of the wave offering they bring with the offerings of fat made by fire, to
bring as a wave offering before יהוה. And it shall be yours and your sons’ with you, by a law
forever, as יהוה has commanded.” (Leviticus 10:16) And Mosheh diligently looked for the goat of
the sin offering and saw it was burned up. And he was wroth with Elʽazar and
Ithamar, the sons of Aharon who were left, saying, (Leviticus
10:17) “Why have you not eaten
the sin offering in a set-apart place, since it is most set-apart, and Elohim
has given it to you to bear the crookedness of the congregation, to make
atonement for them before יהוה?
(Leviticus 10:18) “See, its blood
was not brought inside the set-apart place. You should have eaten it without
fail in a set-apart place, as I have commanded.” (Leviticus
10:19) And Aharon said to Mosheh,
“See, today they have brought their sin offering and their burnt offering
before יהוה,
and matters like these have come to me! If I had eaten the sin offering
today, would it have been right in the eyes of יהוה?” (Leviticus
10:20) And when Mosheh heard
that, it was good in his eyes.
Food and that not defined as food by YHWH’s
word! Not everything is set apart by the word and
prayer- it is His word that sets apart and sanctifies and all our praying
against His word won’t overrule His word and make it clean! (1Ti
4:4)
Because every creature of Elohim is good, and none is to be
rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, (1Ti
4:5) for it is set apart by the Word of Elohim and prayer.
(Leviticus 11:1) And
יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon, saying to them, (Leviticus 11:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘these are the living creatures which you
do eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: (Leviticus 11:3) ‘Whatever
has a split hoof completely divided, chewing the cud, among the beasts, that
you do eat. (Leviticus 11:4) ‘Only, these you do not eat among those
that chew the cud or those that have a split hoof: the camel, because it chews
the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus 11:5)
and the rabbit, because it chews the cud but does not have a split
hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus 11:6) and the hare, because it chews the cud but
does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; (Leviticus
11:7) and the pig, though it
has a split hoof, completely divided, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean
to you. (Leviticus 11:8) ‘Their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do
not touch. They are unclean to you. (Leviticus
11:9) ‘These you do eat of all that are in the
waters: any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the
rivers that you do eat. (Leviticus 11:10) ‘But all that have not fins and scales in the
seas and in the rivers all that move in the waters or any living creature which
is in the waters; they are an abomination to you. (Leviticus
11:11) ‘They are an abomination
to you – of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate. (Leviticus 11:12)
‘All that have not fins or scales in the waters are an abomination to
you. (Leviticus 11:13) ‘And these you do abominate among the birds, they are not eaten, they
are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, (Leviticus 11:14)
and the hawk, and the falcon
after its kind, (Leviticus 11:15) every
raven after its kind, (Leviticus 11:16) and
the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
(Leviticus 11:17) and
the little owl, and the fisher owl, and the great owl, (Leviticus
11:18) and the white owl, and the
pelican, and the carrion vulture, (Leviticus
11:19) and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
(Leviticus 11:20) ‘All
flying insects that creep on all fours is an abomination to you. (Leviticus 11:21)
‘Only, these you do eat of every flying insect that creeps on all
fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the
earth. (Leviticus 11:22) ‘These of them you do eat: the locust
after its kind and the destroying locust after its kind and the cricket after
its kind and the grasshopper after its kind. (Leviticus
11:23) ‘But all other flying insects which have four feet is an abomination to
you. (Leviticus 11:24) ‘And by these you are made unclean, anyone touching the carcass of any of them
is unclean until evening, (Leviticus 11:25)
and anyone picking up part of the carcass of any of them has to wash his
garments, and shall be unclean until evening. (Leviticus
11:26) ‘Every beast that has a split hoof not
completely divided, or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Anyone who
touches their carcass is unclean. (Leviticus 11:27)
‘And whatever goes on its paws, among all the creatures that go on
all fours, those are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass is
unclean until evening, (Leviticus 11:28) and he
who picks up their carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until
evening. They are unclean to you. (Leviticus 11:29) ‘And
these are unclean to you among the creeping creatures that creep on the earth:
the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, (Leviticus 11:30) and the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the sand reptile, and the
sand lizard, and the chameleon. (Leviticus 11:31) ‘These are unclean to you among all that
creep. Anyone who touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 11:32) ‘And whatever any of them in its dead state
falls upon, becomes unclean, whether it is any wooden object or garment or skin
or sack, any object in which work is done, it is put in water. And it shall be
unclean until evening, and then it shall be clean. (Leviticus
11:33) ‘Any earthen vessel into
which any of them falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you break it. (Leviticus 11:34)
‘Any of the food which might be eaten, on which water comes, becomes
unclean, and any drink which might be drunk from it becomes unclean.
Handling Dead Things! Do not eat creeping things!
(Leviticus 11:35) ‘And on whatever any
of their carcass falls becomes unclean – an oven or cooking range – it is
broken down. They are unclean, and are unclean to you. (Leviticus
11:36) ‘But a fountain or a well,
a collection of water, is clean, but whatever touches their carcass is unclean.
(Leviticus 11:37) ‘And when any of their carcasses falls
on any planting seed which is to be sown, it is clean. (Leviticus
11:38) ‘But when any water is put
on the seed and any part of any such carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
(Leviticus 11:39) ‘And when any of the beasts which are yours
for food dies, he who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening. (Leviticus 11:40)
‘And he who eats of its carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be
unclean until evening. And he who picks up its carcass has to wash his
garments, and shall be unclean until evening. (Leviticus
11:41) ‘And every creeping
creature that creeps on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten. (Leviticus 11:42)
‘Whatever crawls on its stomach, and whatever goes on all fours, and
whatever has many feet among all creeping creatures that creep on the earth,
these you do not eat, for they are an abomination. (Leviticus
11:43) ‘Do not make yourselves
abominable with any creeping creature that creeps, and do not make yourselves
unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them. (Leviticus
11:44) ‘For
I am יהוה
your Elohim and you shall set yourselves apart. And you shall be set-apart, for
I am set-apart. And do not defile yourselves with any creeping creature that
creeps on the earth. (Leviticus 11:45) ‘I am יהוה who is bringing you up out of the land of
Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. And you shall be set-apart, for I am set-apart. (Leviticus 11:46)
‘This is the Torah of the beasts and the birds and every living creature
that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, (Leviticus 11:47) to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between
the living creature that is eaten and the living creature that is not eaten.’

Desiring the Presence of
YHWH!
(2Sam 6:1) Now Dawiḏ
again gathered all the chosen men of Yisra’ĕl, thirty thousand. (2Sa 6:2) And
Dawiḏ rose up and went with all the people who were with him from Baʽalĕ
Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim,
that is called by the Name, the Name יהוה of Hosts, who dwells
between the keruḇim. (2Sa 6:3) And
they placed the ark of Elohim on a new wagon, and brought it from the house of
Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Aḥyo, sons of Aḇinaḏaḇ,
were leading the new wagon. (2Sa 6:4) And they brought it from the house of
Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill, with the ark of Elohim. And Aḥyo was
walking before the ark.
Sometimes in the midst of worship; storms are sent to “cool” us down by the
enemy- we may be tested and found wanting! (We judge ourselves- Listen and
Obey- or we will be judged!)
(2Sa 6:5) And Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl
were dancing before יהוה, with all instruments of fir wood, and with lyres, and
with harps, and with tambourines, and with sistrums, and with cymbals. (2Sa 6:6) And
when they came to the threshing-floor of Naḵon, Uzzah reached out toward the
ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for the
oxen stumbled (Storm/test). (2Sa 6:7) And the wrath
of יהוה
burned against Uzzah, and Elohim smote him there for the fault (Judgment). And he died there by the ark
of Elohim. (2Sa 6:8) And Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had
broken out against Uzzah. And he called the name of the place Perets Uzzah,
until this day. (2Sa 6:9) And Dawiḏ was afraid of יהוה on that day,
and said, “How shall the ark of יהוה come to me?” (2Sa 6:10) And Dawiḏ would not move the ark of יהוה with him
into the City of Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ turned it aside to the house of
Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite. (2Sa 6:11) And the ark of יהוה remained in the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the
Gittite three months, and יהוה blessed Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and his entire house. (2Sa 6:12) And
it was reported to Sovereign Dawiḏ, saying, “יהוה has blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and
all that he has, because of the ark of Elohim.” Dawiḏ then went and brought up
the ark of Elohim from the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the City of Dawiḏ with
rejoicing. (2Sa 6:13) And it came to be, when those bearing the ark
of יהוה
had gone six steps, that he slaughtered bulls and fattened sheep. (2Sa 6:14) And
Dawiḏ danced before יהוה with all his might. And Dawiḏ was wearing a linen shoulder
garment. (2Sa 6:15) Thus Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl
brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting and with the sound of the ram’s horn. (2Sa 6:16) And
it came to be, when the ark of יהוה came into the City of Dawiḏ, that Miḵal, daughter of Sha’ul,
looked through a window and saw Sovereign Dawiḏ leaping and dancing before יהוה, and
she despised him in her heart. (2Sa 6:17) So they brought the ark of יהוה in, and set it in
its place in the midst of the Tent that Dawiḏ had pitched for it. And Dawiḏ
brought burnt offerings before יהוה, and peace offerings. (2Sa 6:18) And when Dawiḏ had finished bringing burnt
offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of יהוה of hosts.
(2Sa 6:19)
And he apportioned to all the people, to all the crowd of Yisra’ĕl, from
man even to women, to each one a loaf of bread, and a measure, and a cake of
raisins. And all the people left, each one to his house. (2Sa 6:20) And
Dawiḏ returned to bless his household, and Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul came
out to meet Dawiḏ, and said (Mocking the
anointed worshiper of YHWH), “How esteemed was the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl
today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the female servants of his
servants, as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” (2Sa 6:21) So
Dawiḏ said to Miḵal, “Before יהוה, who chose me instead of your father and his entire house, to
appoint me ruler over the people of יהוה, over Yisra’ĕl, so I danced before יהוה. (2Sa 6:22) “And
I shall be even slighter than this, and shall be humble in my own eyes. But
as for the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I am esteemed.” (2Sa 6:23) And
Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul had no children to the day of her death.
Building the dwelling place for YHWH! (Now in our hearts; so we guard our hearts and minds and keep them pure-
not allowing junk to come in through our eye gates and ear gates!)
(2Sa 7:1) and it came to be when the sovereign was
dwelling in his house, and יהוה had given him rest from all his
enemies all around, (2Sa 7:2) that the sovereign said to Nathan the
prophet, “See now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim
dwells within curtains.” (2Sa 7:3) And Nathan said to the sovereign, “Go, do all
that is in your heart, for יהוה is with you.” (2Sa 7:4) And it came to be that night that the word of
יהוה
came to Nathan, saying, (2Sa 7:5) “Go and say
to my servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Would you build a house for Me to dwell
in? (2Sa 7:6)
“For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the
children of Yisra’ĕl up from Mitsrayim, even to this day, but have moved about
in a Tent and in a Dwelling Place. (2Sa 7:7) “Wherever I have walked with all the children
of Yisra’ĕl, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Yisra’ĕl,
whom I commanded to shepherd my people Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Why have you not
built me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ (2Sa 7:8) “And
now, say to my servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה of hosts, “I took you from the pasture,
from following the flock, to be ruler over my people, over Yisra’ĕl. (2Sa 7:9) “And
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies
from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great
ones who are on the earth. (2Sa 7:10) “And I shall appoint a place for my people
Yisra’ĕl, and shall plant them, and they shall dwell in a place of their own
and no longer be afraid, neither shall the children of wickedness oppress them
again, as at the first, (2Sa 7:11) even from
the day I appointed rulers over my people Yisra’ĕl, and have caused you to rest
from all your enemies. And יהוה has declared to you that He would make you a house. (2Sa 7:12)
“When your days are filled and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise
up your seed after you, who comes from your inward parts, and shall establish
his reign. (2Sa 7:13) “He does build a house for My Name, and I
shall establish the throne of his reign forever. (2Sa
7:14) “I am to be his Father, and
he is my son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with the rod of men
and with the blows of the sons of men. (2Sa 7:15) “But my kindness does not turn aside from
him, as I turned it aside from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before you. (2Sa 7:16) “And your house and your reign are to be
steadfast forever before you – your throne is established forever.” ’ ” (2Sa 7:17) According to all these words; and
according to all this vision; Nathan
spoke to Dawiḏ.
Note the vision in Acts 10 below was not
saying it is okay to eat unclean food- YHWH was instructing that men were not
unclean that He had cleaned! Note also that this is the Mikveh of the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) which alone allows us to be witnesses and produce fruit
that remains!
(Act 1:4)
And meeting with them, He commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but
to wait for the Promise of the Father, 1
“which you have heard from me – Footnote: 1Lk.
24:49, John 14:16 & 26. (Act 1:5)
because Yoḥanan truly immersed in water,
but you shall be immersed in the Set-apart Spirit not many days from now.” (Act 1:6) So
when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Master,
would you at this time restore the reign to Yisra’ĕl?”1 Footnote: 1Lk. 1:33. (Act 1:7) And
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father
has put in His own authority. (Act 1:8) “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart
Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and
Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.”
Kind Deeds and fearing YHWH allow the Ruach HaKodesh to be given!
(Act 10:1) Now
there was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of what was
called the Italian Regiment, (Act 10:2) dedicated, and fearing Elohim with all his
household, doing many kind deeds to the people, and praying to Elohim always. (Act 10:3) He
clearly saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of
Elohim coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!” (Act
10:4) And looking intently at
him, and becoming afraid, he said, “What is it, master?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind deeds have come up for a
remembrance before Elohim. (Act 10:5) “And now send men to Yapho, and send for Shimʽon
who is also called Kĕpha. (Act 10:6) “He is staying with Shimʽon, a
leather-tanner, whose house is by the sea.” (Act 10:7) And when the messenger who spoke to him went
away, Cornelius called two of his household servants, and a dedicated soldier
from among those who waited on him continually. (Act
10:8) And having explained to
them all, he sent them to Yapho. (Act 10:9) And on the next day, as they were on their
way and approaching the city, Kĕpha went up on the house-top to pray, about the
sixth hour. (Act 10:10) And he became hungry and wished to eat. But
while they were preparing, he fell into a trance (vision), (Act 10:11) and he saw
the heaven opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four
corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, (Act
10:12) in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heaven. (Act 10:13)
And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Kĕpha, slay and eat.” (Act 10:14)
But Kĕpha said, “Not at all, Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” (Act 10:15)
And a voice came to him again the second time, “What Elohim has cleansed you do not
consider common.” (Comment: Regarding
this scripture;Yahshua told me one time not to call myself a sinner- then He
followed with- “Do not call filthy what I have cleansed!”)
Again YHWH shows
Peter that the vision was not about unclean food but MEN!
(Act 10:16) And this took place three times, and the
vessel was taken back to the heaven. (Act 10:17) And while Kĕpha was doubting within himself
about what the vision might mean, look, the men who had been sent from
Cornelius, having asked for the house of Shimʽon, stood at the gate, (Act 10:18)
and calling out, they enquired whether Shimʽon, also known as Kĕpha, was
staying there. (Act 10:19) And as Kĕpha was thinking about the vision,
the Spirit said to him, “See, three men seek you. (Act
10:20) “But rise up, go down and
go with them, not doubting at all, for I have sent them.” (Act 10:21) So
Kĕpha went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said,
“Look, I am the one you seek. Why have you come?” (Act
10:22) And they said, “Cornelius
the captain, a righteous man and one who fears Elohim and well-spoken of by
the entire nation of the Yehuḏim, was instructed by a set-apart messenger to
send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.” (Act 10:23) So inviting
them in, he housed them. And on the next day Kĕpha went away with them, and
some brothers from Yapho went with him. (Act 10:24) And the following day they entered into
Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his
relatives and close friends. (Act 10:25) And it came to be, that when Kĕpha entered,
Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him. (Act 10:26)
But Kĕpha raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.” (Act 10:27)
And talking with him, he went in and found many who had come together. (Act 10:28)
And he said to them, “You know that a Yehuḏite man is not allowed to
associate with, or go to one of another race. But Elohim has shown me that I
should not call any
man common or unclean.1 Footnote: 1See
v. 35. (Act 10:29) “That is why I came without hesitation when I
was sent for. So I ask, why have you sent for me?”
Fasting always
rids us of our UNBELIEF and allows us to hear from Heaven! Also note that this
also allowed them to be witnesses as they heard
them praying in unknown tongues!
(Act 10:30) And Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was
fasting until this hour. And at the ninth hour I prayed in my house,
and see, a man (angel) stood before
me in shining garments, (Act 10:31) and said, ‘Cornelius, your
prayer has been heard, and your kind deeds were remembered before Elohim.
(Act 10:32)
‘Now send to Yapho and call Shimʽon here, who is also called Kĕpha. He
is staying in the house of Shimʽon, a leather-tanner, by the sea. When he
comes, he shall speak to you.’ (Act 10:33) “So I sent to you immediately, and you have
done well to come. And now, we are all present before Elohim, to hear all that
you have been commanded by Elohim.” (Act 10:34) And opening his mouth, Kĕpha said, “Truly I see
that Elohim shows no partiality, (No
respecter of persons- Hallelu-Yah!) (Act 10:35)
but in every nation, he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by
Him. (Act 10:36) “He sent the word to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, bringing the Good News: peace through יהושע Messiah! He is Master of all. (Act 10:37)
“You know what word came to be throughout all Yehuḏah, beginning from
Galil after the immersion which Yoḥanan proclaimed: (Act
10:38) how Elohim did anoint יהושע of
Natsareth with the Set-apart Spirit and with power, who went about doing good
and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for Elohim was with Him. (Act 10:39)
“And we are witnesses of all He did, both in the country of the Yehuḏim
and in Yerushalayim, whom they even killed by hanging on a timber. (Act 10:40)
“Elohim raised up this One on the third day, and let Him be seen, (Act 10:41)
not to all the people, but to witnesses, those having been chosen before
by Elohim – to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. (Act 10:42)
“And He commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to witness that it
is He who was appointed by Elohim to be Judge of the
living and the dead.1 Footnote: 1See
17:31, John 5:29, Ps. 96:13, Ps. 98:9, Rev. 19:11. (Act 10:43)
“To this One all the prophets bear witness, that through His name;
everyone believing in Him does receive forgiveness of sins.” (Act 10:44) While Kĕpha was
still speaking these words, the Set-apart Spirit fell upon all those hearing
the word. (Act 10:45) And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished (Jews), as many as came with Kĕpha, because
the gift of the Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also, (Act 10:46) for
they were hearing them speaking with tongues and extolling Elohim. Then
Kĕpha answered, (Act 10:47) “Is anyone able to
forbid water, that these should not be immersed who
have received the Set-apart Spirit – even as also we?” (Act 10:48)
And he commanded them to be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah. Then
they asked him to remain a few days.
Loved one, please pray with agreement among Billie
and me for direction, provision, protection and healing for us and many of
yours and our loved ones. Also, please
remember to pray for our protection and confusion of the enemy, who seems to
pouring out vast plans of wickedness as the gates of hell may have opened. We
return that prayer back upon you and your loved ones! YHWH hears your prayers
and according to His word and promise- you/we have the thing we request! (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. Hallelu-Yah there is much power in agreement with prayer
and fasting! Give thanks and dance before our King like- King David
danced and see the blessings of our Elohim poured out on you and OVERTAKING
YOU! Try as you may obedient and much loved one, you cannot outrun the
blessings of YHWH! Hallelu-Yah! Nothing is more rewarding than having Yahweh’s
blessings OVERTAKE us! HalleluYAH!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston

explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which
sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab
the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten

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.
