Day
of Atonement
(Yom Kippur) the day of repentance
and fasting- by most reckonings will be Sunday, October 5th, at sundown
until Monday at sundown- (The orthodox are observing it today until sundown) (1Jn 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 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! Let’s fast, pray, repent and rid ourselves of our
unbelief! 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…
Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!

regarding the FEASTS OF YHWH for those who wish to learn more)
The Scripture below 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!” Remember
the Hebrew idiom “The Day that no man knows the day or the hour!” (Feast
of Trumpets) then 9 days later on Tishri 10 is Atonement- the day of fasting
and on Tishri 15 at sundown is Sukkot AKA Feast of Tabernacles- Season of
our Joy where we camp out and celebrate! (One day we will celebrate
with our King- dwelling with Him forever!)
(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.
I
have also attached a short and timely 1 hour study about how to protect your
family from Ebola and other viral pandemics that may be released on an
unsuspecting generation- it is attached but here is the link- http://biodefense.com/Pandemic-Preparedness-Episode-06.html
I want to
quickly review some valid questions we made note of last week, about how the
orthodox calendar seems to fit the Signs in the Heavens. Loved one, the Feast
of Trumpets approaches and will be by most reckonings was last week the evening
of 9-26 at sundown! (The Orthodox use the Jewish calendar which
celebrated Yom Teurah Wednesday evening the 24th of September and
are afflicting their souls- FASTING- today) 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 of the 9th day- Sunday
evening at sundown. (At least 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- getting
rid of UNBELIEF. Then many of us will
start the Feast of Tabernacles on the evening of Friday October 10 and will celebrate the LAST GREAT DAY on Shabbat,
October 18.
Please remember to NOT judge others about WHEN or
HOW 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.
There are 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
concerning the following
question, keeping in mind I have not done an exhaustive study on
these matters although my purpose is to draw us closer to our Creator it is
also to still get some of your study and Holy Set-Apart Spirit filled
prayerful insight!
Would not Elohim, the Creator of all
things seen and unseen- have the SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS fall on His correct Set
Apart Days?
Please see the attachments for pictures and graphs of the following SIGNS and
WONDERS
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 delivered 1. For on Mount Tsiyon and in
Yerushalayim there shall be an escape 2
as יהוה has said, and among the survivors whom יהוה calls. Footnotes:
1 Acts 2:21, Rom. 10:13. 2 Isaiah 4:2-3, Obad. v. 17, Revelation.
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.
Revelation 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. Revelation
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. Revelation
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 Elul 29 again (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 want to throw out this
thought for us all to prayerfully consider- Why is Yahweh (YHWH- YAHWEH, YAHUAH
etc.) confirming ALL HIS Signs in the Heavens not with the 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 Holy Days, which makes no sense
to me. Makes me remember- His
ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts as
high as the heavens are above the earth…
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 Name 1, and I shall
answer them. I shall say, ‘This is my people,’ while they say, ‘יהוה is my Elohim.’ ” Footnote: 1 Zeph.
3:9.
By most
reckonings here’s how we “correct” the Biblical calendar currently. How do we
know when the Biblical year starts and when we are to keep His Biblically
prescribed Feast dates loved one? YHWH put the planets and stars in their
courses for seasons days and years. The moon circles the Earth every 29.54 days
so we can only have a 29 day month or a 30 day month- never a 28 or 31 day
month like Pope Gregory determined. So YHWH is in control of what time it is in
His universe! (The Biblical NEW YEAR
started way back 2 weeks before Passover) FYI- Here
is how we determine the start of the year!
(Exodus
12:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, Exodus
12:2) “This month is the
beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you.
(Just before Passover)
Why is that of any importance to
you and me living today? Because many of the body of believers have been
blinded by the enemy of our souls and still follow vain
traditions which are mostly manmade subtractions, additions and traditions of “Churchianity”
handed down from the anything but a
“Holy” Roman Empire ruler Constantine;
who was a sun god worshipper and enforced these “manmade doctrines” with the
penalty of death for rejection. Please understand we should know when the year
starts so we can observe and do His commanded Holy Days (Holidays) and not do vain observations that He considers
abominations. Many Christians honor all the TRADITIONAL
holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Lent and never consider their pagan roots
which were orchestrated by Rome. Some know that the day of the sun (Sun-day) was rooted from sun god
worship and Easter was the pagan fertility goddess, where the Easter Priests (Not Christians or follower of Messiah) -
would impregnate the virgins on the sunrise service and sacrifice the 3 month
old babies from the prior years' sunrise service, dipping the eggs
of Easter into the freshly sacrificed babies blood and declare- HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE! Have a prosperous and fertile year! This was their form of Happy New Year! Lent was the 40 days of fasting and weeping
for Tamuz followed by killing the pig that killed Tammuz on a hunting
expedition and having that for Easter ham- goodness- Loved Ones-think maybe
these traditions are possibly an abomination to our Creator?
He commanded us to NOT LEARN the ways of the heathen and say we are worshipping Him! (Jeremiah 10:2)
Thus said יהוה, “Do not
learn the way of the gentiles, 1
and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by
them. 2 Footnotes:
1 Leviticus. 18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32,
Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2 Dt. 4:19 & 17:3. He also COMMANDED US: (Deuteronomy 4:2)
“Do not add to the Word which I command you,
and do not subtract
from it 1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote:
1 See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19. Do you and I suppose he has changed His mind
about that; so we think it okay to ADD these
man-made traditions as holy days and festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT
His Feasts and festivals?
Do we also worship in VAIN?
Maybe we should consider doing only what
He says and not what tradition allows-THESE ARE THE DAYS OF REPENTANCE!
Really-
Worship in VAIN? We should really reconsider Loved
Ones- another Scripture comes to mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in
her plagues!” Loved Ones, should we worship Him the way He says or obey
men and our traditions? Is obedience to the Word made flesh that dwelled among
us really important? Let’s repeat that; Worship in VAIN? another Scripture comes to
mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Is our own judgment possibly only a heartbeat
away? Do we
really want to nullify all the promises received from obedience- given in the
Word?
Mat 15:3 He
answering, said to them, “Why do you
also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of your tradition?
Footnote: 1 See Mat. 5:20. Mat 15:4 “For Elohim has
commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses
father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Mat 15:5 “But you say,
‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received
from me has been dedicated,” Mat 15:6 is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. Mat 15:7 “Hypocrites!
Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, Mat
15:8 ‘This people draw near to me with their
mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Mat 15:9 ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching
as my doctrines- the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah
29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
Obedience is LOVE: (John 14:10) “Do you
not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I
speak to you I do not speak from myself. But the Father who stays in me does
His works. (John 14:11) “Believe Me that I am
in the Father and the Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works
themselves. (John 14:12) “Truly, truly, I say
to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And
greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:13) “Whatever you ask in my name, that I shall do, in order that
the Father might be esteemed in the Son. (John
14:14)
“If you ask whatever in my Name, I shall do it. (John 14:15) “If you love me,
you shall guard (keep) 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. (John 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 possesses my commands and guards (keeps) 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.”
Why is the “biblical” calendar even important to us
today? Because if we cannot determine when the year starts we cannot observe
His commands out of loving obedience!
Do we realize
that IN
THE BEGINNING (Genesis1:1) Yahshua
(Jesus) was the word and is
the word even at Mt Sinai? Malachi 4 and Hebrews 13:8 testifies that He changes
not and is the same yesterday, today and forever- what part of “forever” is so
difficult for us to understand? The enemy has planted many tares and blinded
many of us into thinking our religious traditions are acceptable to our King!
However; He claims we are worshiping Him in VAIN! Please let us not use the
excuse that those words have passed away because Yahshua addressed that thought
beforehand and leaves us no excuse when we stand in His presence; (Mat 5:17)
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, (Torah- Instructions) or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat
5:18) For
verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven. So; is it ALL fulfilled? What is fulfilled were the Spring Feasts of YHWH; He
was and is the Passover Lamb, He is the High Priest who had to be in
seclusion until the First Fruits Offering and could not be touched (“Don’t touch me Mary- I have not
yet ascended to the Father”) then the graves opened and many were seen
around Jerusalem risen from the dead as He was the first of many of the First
Fruits Offering; then on Shavuot (we now call Pentecost) He poured out
His Spirit that His commands would no longer be impossible (burdensome) to keep. These were and are the Spring Feasts he and
we start our year with- they are the shadow picture of things to come.
The Fall Feasts have not yet been fulfilled- we are finally; during our
generation, approaching the Feast of Trumpets and at the LAST TRUMPET,
the dead in Messiah rise first; then 9 days later we have the DAY OF
ATONEMENT (The 10th) or
some of us call Judgment Day; then 4 days later (the 15th) we have The Feast of Tabernacles or
Sukkoth when we tabernacle or dwell with Him forever; then on the eighth day of
this Feast we have the LAST GREAT DAY or the WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB. Once again; these Fall Feasts are not
yet fulfilled. So what does Yahshua say about this; are there still a
heaven and an earth? If there is a heaven and earth still we are commanded to: (Mat 5:17) think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat 5:18) For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Remember also LOVED
ONES- WE FEAR NOT! We fast, pray, and repent
getting rid of our unbelief and replacing it with TRUSTING HIM! (Psalms 20:5) We sing of your deliverance, and
in the Name of our Elohim we set up a banner! יהוה (YHWH) does fill
all your requests! (Psalms 20:6) Now I know that יהוה (YHWH) shall
save His Anointed; He answers him from His set-apart heavens with the saving
might of His right hand. (Psalms 20:7) Some trust in chariots,
and some in horses, but we remember (trust
in) the Name of יהוה (YHWH)
our Elohim. (Psalms 20:8) They, they have bowed down and fallen; But we
have risen and are established. (Psalms 20:9) Save us (YHWH)
יהוה! Let the Sovereign answer us in the day
we call.
Here are this week’s
Torah Scriptures: Tazria “Leprosy- Conceived”
Leviticus 12:1-13:59; 2
Kings 4:42-5:27; Matthew 8:1-4
Quarantine
for a woman giving childbirth
(Leviticus 12:1) And
יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 12:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a woman has conceived,
and has given birth to a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days, as
in the days of her monthly separation she is unclean. (Leviticus
12:3) ‘And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.
(Comment: only in recent years did modern
medicine discover that vitamin K is released into the male’s blood on the 8th
day from birth which coagulated the blood and allows for safe circumcision)
(Leviticus 12:4) ‘And she remains in the blood of her
cleansing thirty-three days. She does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she
does not come into the set-apart place until the days of her cleansing are
completed. (Leviticus 12:5) ‘But if she gives birth to a female child,
then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her monthly separation, and she
remains in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days. (Leviticus 12:6)
‘And when the days of her cleansing are completed, for a son or for a
daughter, she brings to the priest a lamb a year old, as a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting. (Leviticus 12:7) ‘And he shall bring it before יהוה, and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the
flow of her blood. This is the Torah for her who has given birth to a male or a
female. (Leviticus 12:8) ‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then
she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering
and the other as a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her,
and she shall be clean.’ ” (Leviticus
13:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 13:2) “When
a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it
shall become on the skin of his body like a leprous infection, then he shall be
brought to Aharon the priest or to one of his sons the priests. (Leviticus 13:3)
“And the priest shall look at the infection on the skin of the body. And
if the hair on the infection has turned white, and the infection appears to be
deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous infection. And the priest
shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean. (Leviticus
13:4) “But if the bright spot is
white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the infected
one seven days. (Leviticus 13:5) “And the priest shall look at him on the
seventh day and see, if the infection appears to be as it was, and the infection
has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall shut him up another seven
days. (Leviticus 13:6) “And the priest shall look at him again on
the seventh day and see, if the infection has darkened, and the infection has
not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a
scab, and he shall wash his garments and be clean. (Leviticus
13:7) “But if the scab spreads
further over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing,
he shall be seen by the priest again. (Leviticus 13:8) “And the priest shall look and see, if the
scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is
leprosy. (Leviticus 13:9) “When the infection of leprosy is on a man,
then he shall be brought to the priest. (Leviticus
13:10) “And the priest shall look
and see, if the swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair
white, and there is a spot of raw flesh in the swelling, (Leviticus 13:11)
it is an old leprosy on the skin of his body, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean. He does not shut him up, for he is unclean. (Leviticus 13:12)
“And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy shall
cover all the skin of the infected one, from his head to his foot, wherever the
priest looks, (Leviticus 13:13) then the priest shall look and see, if the
leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce the infected one clean. It
has all turned white, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:14) “But the day raw flesh appears on him, he is
unclean. (Leviticus 13:15) “And the priest shall look at the raw flesh
and pronounce him to be unclean – the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy. (Leviticus 13:16)
“Or when the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to
the priest. (Leviticus 13:17) “And the priest shall look at him and see, if
the infection has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the infected
one clean, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:18) “And when the body has a boil in the skin,
and it is healed, (Leviticus 13:19) and in the
place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white,
then it shall be seen by the priest. (Leviticus 13:20) “And the priest shall look and see, if it
appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection which has broken out of the
boil. (Leviticus 13:21) “But if the priest looks at it and sees no
white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the
priest shall shut him up seven days; (Leviticus 13:22) and if it has spread further over the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:23)
“But if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread, it is the
scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Burns on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:24) “Or when the body
receives a burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn shall become
a bright spot, reddish-white or white, (Leviticus
13:25) then the priest shall look at it and see, if the hair of the
bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is
leprosy broken out in the burn. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it
is a leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:26) “But if the priest looks at it and sees there
are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but
has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. (Leviticus 13:27)
“And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads
further over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a
leprous infection. (Leviticus 13:28) “But if the bright spot stays in its place,
and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn.
And the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
Infections on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:29) “And when a man,
or a woman, has an infection on the head or in the beard, (Leviticus 13:30) then the priest shall look at the
infection and see, if it appears deeper than the skin, and there is thin yellow
hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is an eruption, a
leprosy of the head or beard. (Leviticus 13:31) “But when the priest looks at the infection
of the eruption and sees that it does not appear deeper than the skin, and
there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the one with
the infection of the eruption seven days. (Leviticus
13:32) “And on the seventh day
the priest shall look at the infection and see, if the eruption has not spread,
and there is no yellow hair in it, and the eruption does not appear deeper than
the skin, (Leviticus 13:33) then he shall shave himself, but the eruption
he does not shave. And the priest shall shut up the one with the
eruption another seven days. (Leviticus 13:34) “And on the seventh day the priest shall look
at the eruption and see, if the eruption has not spread over the skin, and does
not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And
he shall wash his garments, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus
13:35) “But if the eruption
spreads further over the skin after his cleansing, (Leviticus
13:36) then the priest shall look
at him and see, if the eruption has spread over the skin, the priest need not
seek for yellow hair, he is unclean. (Leviticus 13:37) “But if the eruption appears to have stayed,
and there is black hair grown up in it, the eruption has healed. He is clean,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean. (Leviticus
13:38) “And when a man or a woman
has bright spots on the skin of the body, white bright spots, (Leviticus 13:39)
then the priest shall look and see, if the bright spots on the skin of
the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin, he is
clean. (Leviticus 13:40) “And when a man loses the hair of his head,
he is bald, he is clean. (Leviticus 13:41) “And if the hair has fallen from his forehead,
he is bald on the forehead, he is clean. (Leviticus
13:42) “And when there is on the
bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking
out on his bald head or his bald forehead. (Leviticus
13:43) “And the priest shall look
at it and see, if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald
head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the
body, (Leviticus 13:44) he is a leprous man, he
is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean, without fail, his infection
is on his head. (Leviticus 13:45) “As for the leper who has the infection, his
garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he has to cover his upper lip
and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ (Leviticus 13:46) “He is unclean – all the days he has the
infection he is unclean. He is unclean, and he dwells alone, his dwelling place
is outside the camp.
Yes even our garments can carry infection
(Leviticus 13:47) “And when a
garment has an infection of leprosy in it, in a woolen garment or in a linen
garment, (Leviticus 13:48) or in the warp or in the weft of linen or
wool, or in leather or in any leather-work, (Leviticus
13:49) and the infection shall be
greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the warp or in the
weft, or in any leather object, it is an infection of leprosy and shall be
shown to the priest. (Leviticus 13:50) “And the priest shall look at the infection
and shut up the infected one seven days. (Leviticus
13:51) “And he shall look at the
infection on the seventh day. And when the infection has spread in the garment,
or in the warp or in the weft, or in the leather or any leather-work, the
infection is an active leprosy, it is unclean. (Leviticus
13:52) “And he shall burn that
garment, or the warp or the weft, in wool or in linen or any leather object in
which the infection is, for it is an active leprosy. It is burned with fire. (Leviticus 13:53)
“But if the priest looks and sees that the infection has not spread in
the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, (Leviticus 13:54) then the priest shall give command,
and they shall wash that in which the infection is. And he shall shut it up
another seven days. (Leviticus 13:55) “And the priest shall look at the infection
after it has been washed and see, if the infection has not changed its
appearance, though the infection has not spread, it is unclean, and burn it in
the fire – it is eaten away, in its inside or outside. (Leviticus
13:56) “And if the priest shall
look and see that the infection has faded after washing it, then he shall tear
it out of the garment, or out of the warp, or out of the weft, or out of the
leather. (Leviticus 13:57) “And if it is still seen in the garment, or
in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, it is a spreading
infection. Burn it with fire, that in which the infection is. (Leviticus 13:58)
“And if you wash the garment, or the warp or the weft, or any leather
object, if the infection has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a
second time, and shall be clean. (Leviticus 13:59) “This is the Torah (Instructions-Law)
of the infection of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp or in
the weft, or in any leather object, to
pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leprosy and all operations of curses are no
respecters of person
(2 Kings 4:42) Now
a man came from Baʽal Shalishah, and brought the
man of Elohim bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and
newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people to
eat.” (2 Kings 4:43) And his servant said, “What? Do I set this
before one hundred men?” And he said, “Give it to the people to eat. For thus
said יהוה, ‘Eat and have some left over.’ ” (2 Kings 4:44) and he set it before them, and they
ate and had some left over, according to the word of יהוה.
(2 Kings 5:1) And
Naʽaman, commander of the army of the sovereign of Aram,
was a great man in the eyes of his master, and highly respected, because by him
יהוה had given deliverance to Aram. And he was a brave man, but leprous. (2 Kings 5:2)
And the Arameans had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a
young girl from the land of Yisra’ĕl, and she served the wife of Naʽaman. (2 Kings 5:3)
And she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet
who is in Shomeron! Then he would recover him of his leprosy.” (2 Kings 5:4)
And Naʽaman went in and reported to his master, saying, “Thus and thus
spoke the girl who is from the land of Yisra’ĕl.” (2
Kings 5:5) And the sovereign of
Aram said, “Go, enter, and let me send a letter to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.”
And he went and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces
of gold, and ten changes of garments. (2 Kings 5:6) And he brought the letter to the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl, which said, “And now, when this letter comes to you, see I have sent
Naʽaman my servant to you, so that you shall recover him of his leprosy.” (2 Kings 5:7)
And it came to be, when the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl read the letter, that
he tore his garments and said, “Am I Elohim, to kill and keep alive, that this
man sends a man to me to recover him of his leprosy? For consider now, and see
how he is seeking an occasion with me!” (2 Kings 5:8) And it came to be, when Elisha the man of
Elohim heard that the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl had torn his garments, that he sent
to the sovereign, saying, “Why have you torn your
garments? Please let him come to me,
so that he knows that there is a prophet in Yisra’ĕl.”
Please understand: in these last days we
shall operate in the gifts of His Spirit and walk in His power if we do not
reject the gifts available or assign them to the works of demons: (Luke 11:11) If a son shall ask
bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he
for a fish give him a serpent?
(Luke 11:12) Or if he shall ask an
egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
(Luke 11:13) If ye then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Comment: these terms- snakes and scorpions
represent the powers or demons and the works of hell which Yahshua came to
destroy!)
(2
Kings 5:9)
So Naʽaman came with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the
entrance of the house of Elisha.
Simple obedience brings blessings and
removal of curses!
(2 Kings 5:10) And Elisha sent a
messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you shall
wash seven times in the Yardĕn, that your flesh might be restored to you, and
be clean.” (2 Kings 5:11) But Naʽaman became wroth, and went away and
said, “See, I said to myself, ‘He would certainly come out to me, and stand and
call on the Name of יהוה his Elohim, and wave
his hand over the place, and recover the leprosy.’ (2
Kings 5:12) “Are not the Aḇanah
and the Pharpar, the rivers of Dammeseq, better than all the waters of
Yisra’ĕl? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” And he turned and went away
in a rage.
Sometimes a planted word (seed) can produce
repentance- which brings healing
(2 Kings 5:13) And his
servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My
father, if the prophet had spoken to you a great matter, would you not have
done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
(2 Kings 5:14)
Then he went down and dipped seven times in the Yardĕn, according to the
word of the man of Elohim. And his flesh was restored like the flesh of a
little child, and he was clean. (2 Kings 5:15) And he returned to the man of Elohim, he and
all his company, and came and stood before him and said, “See, now I know that
there is no Elohim in all the earth, except in Yisra’ĕl. And now, please take a
gift from your servant.” (2 Kings 5:16) But he said, “As יהוה
lives, before whom I stand, I do not accept it.” And he pressed on him to
accept it, but he refused. (2 Kings 5:17) Then Naʽaman said, “If not, please let your
servant be given two mule-loads of earth, for no longer is your servant going
to make a burnt offering and slaughtering to other mighty ones, but to יהוה. (2 Kings 5:18) “יהוה
grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter: when my master goes into the
house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in
the house of Rimmon; when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, יהוה, please grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter.” (2 Kings 5:19)
Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” And when he had gone from him some
distance, (Comment:
Wealth and riches- has power to bring a
curse- as the LOVE of money is the root of all evil! Perhaps we should look at our own hearts and desires- where our
hearts are- there is our TREASURE! Let’s get our transgressions uncovered since
there is no “Hidden” sin- know this our sin will find us out- so let’s stay in
a repentant mode loved one.) (2 Kings 5:20) But Gĕḥazi, the
servant of Elisha the man of Elohim, said to himself, “Look, my master
has spared Naʽaman this Aramean, while not receiving from his hands what he
brought. But as יהוה lives, I shall run after him and take whatever from him.”
(2 Kings 5:21)
And Gĕḥazi pursued Naʽaman. And when Naʽaman saw him running after him,
he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is there peace?” (2 Kings 5:22)
And he said, “Peace. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Look, even now two
young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of
Ephrayim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’ ” (2 Kings 5:23) And Naʽaman said, “Please accept two
talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with
two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants. And they bare
them ahead of him. (2 Kings 5:24) And when he came to the high place, he took
them from their hand, and stored them away in the house, and let the men go,
and they went. (2 Kings 5:25) And he went in and stood before his master,
and Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gĕḥazi?” And he said, “Your servant
did not go anywhere.” (2 Kings 5:26) But he said to him, “Did not my heart go with
you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to accept
silver and to accept garments, and olive-trees and vineyards, and sheep and
cattle, and male and female servants? (2 Kings 5:27) “So let the
leprosy of Naʽaman cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he
went out from him as leprous as snow.
You will never see it YHWH’s will for sickness to
reign in His sons and daughters! (Mat
8:1)
And when He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. (Mat 8:2) And
see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Master, if you desire,
you are able to make me clean.” (Mat 8:3) And stretching out His hand יהושע touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed!” And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed. (Mat 8:4) And יהושע
said to him, “See, and mention it to no one. But go
your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Mosheh
commanded, as a witness to them.”
My prayer for you loved one- is that we take this
wonderful opportunity to fast, pray, and repent- adding the great benefit of
ridding ourselves of unbelief! HALLELUYAH! Let’s forgive everyone that has done
evil to us, cursed us, and spoken all manner of evil about us. This gives us a
right standing with our Father to pray and bless others- especially those that
have done wickedly in our Father’s eyes against us.
Remember, if we hate or do evil against our brother or
sister; Yahshua (Yeshua-Jesus) considers it MURDER- No murderers will be
allowed in the Kingdom- so repentance is required- we confess our sins one to
another that WE may be healed! My prayer is that we take Yahshua’s words very
solemnly and obey and LIVE! Let’s make sure we repent also of words spoken deceptively or in hurt or
anger against others! Yahshua warned us: Mat 12:32 “And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Adam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the
Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the
age to come. Mat 12:33
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else
make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. Mat 12:34 “Brood of adders!
How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks
from the overflow of the heart. Mat 12:35
“The good man brings forth what is good from the good
treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked from the
wicked treasure. Mat 12:36 “And I say to you that for every idle word men speak, they
shall give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. Mat 12:37 “For by your words you shall be declared righteous,
and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous.” Hallelu-YAH! May YHWH bless and
direct you, provide and protect you and your loved ones- wherever they may be!
Billie and I thank you for your loving prayers for us- be assured they are
returned for you and your Loved Ones!
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
