Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is
attached for ease of print and study format- YHWH is restoring all things; that includes us who
were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW
(Not know about) HIM and call on Him
will be delivered- HalleluYAH!
Also
consider this sneak preview of becoming the manifested sons and
daughters of YHWH in this Sid Roth interview--there is a day coming soon
when the Bride has humbled herself, come apart from sin, and will walk
in His love and power:
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 continued at end of this week’s study-
Are we close to the end of
this age? We are commanded to NOT learn the ways of the heathens!
(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.” No Pre-tribulation rapture- we
are to escape and endure and produce fruit which alone glorifies our Father and
what a blessing to still be standing when He returns- Hallelu-Yah! No need for fear- Our
Elohim holds the wicked men of the earth (and the
demonic s infesting/directing them) in DERISION as He laughs at them! Draw near to our Father
ad FEAR NOT!
Let’s quickly look at the whole context
Luke 21:8
And He said, “See that you are not led astray,
for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Then
do not go after them. Luke 21:9 “But when you hear of fighting and unrests, do not be
alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.”
Luke 21:10 Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. Luke 21:11 “And there shall be
great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly
diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:12 “But before all
this, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to
the congregations and prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for
My Name’s sake. Luke 21:13 “And it shall turn out to you for a witness. Luke 21:14 “Therefore, resolve in
your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. Luke 21:15 “For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your
adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist. Luke 21:16 “And you shall
also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of
you shall be put to death. Luke 21:17 “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. Luke 21:18 “But not a hair of
your head shall be lost at all. Luke 21:19
“Possess your lives by your endurance! Luke 21:20 “And when you see
Yerushalayim surrounded by armies, then know that its laying waste is near. Luke 21:21 “Then let those in
Yehuḏah flee to the
mountains, and let those who are in the midst of her go out, and let not those
who are in the fields enter her. Luke 21:22 “Because
these are days of vengeance, to fill all that have been written. Luke 21:23 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing
children in those days! There shall be great distress in the earth and wrath
upon this people. Luke 21:24 “And they shall fall by the
edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Yerushalayim
shall be trampled underfoot by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are
filled. Luke 21:25 “And there shall be
signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth anxiety of nations, in
bewilderment at the roaring of the sea, and agitation, Luke 21:26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of what is coming
on the earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Luke 21:27 “And then they
shall see the Son of Aḏam coming in a cloud with power and much esteem. Luke 21:28 “And when these matters
begin to take place, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption
draws near.” Luke 21:29 And He spoke a parable to them, “Look at the fig tree, and
all the trees. Luke 21:30 “When they have already budded, observing it, you shall know
for yourselves that summer is now near. 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. (Which
generation you ask- the one that sees these things come to pass) 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 “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.” (Comment again- no pre-tribulation rapture escape plan here; the context is
to escape and endure and produce fruit as you bear witness as a manifested son
or daughter of the living Elohim with a demonstration of His love and power-
and remain until the Last Feast of Trumpets- when the dead in Messiah raise
first and we meet Him in the air)
1 Co 15:51 See, I speak a secret to you: We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1 Co
15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed.
We are GUARANTEED His help as He promises to send the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit) to help, teach, direct, comfort, and deliver us!
John_14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide
with you forever— John_14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring
to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John_15:26
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the
Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of
Me. John_16:7 Nevertheless I tell
you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away,
the Helper will not
come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
MORE
TOOLS FOR VICTORY: PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING (Psalms 22:3) Yet you are set-apart, Enthroned on the
praises of Yisra’ĕl. KJV uses inhabits… Psalms 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
and into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His
Name. Psalms 105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms 106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting. Psalms 106:47 Save us, O יהוה
our Elohim, and gather us from among the gentiles, to give thanks to your set-apart
Name, to exult in your praise. Psalms 107:1
Give thanks to יהוה! He
is good, for His kindness is everlasting.
Loved One; last
week we reminded ourselves we must SPEAK THE WORD OF TRUTH AND NOT THE FACTS OR
WHAT IS SEEN!
Remember; Yahshua reminds us; His words are Spirit and Life. We will not be
allowed to have His power if we speak the facts- that disagree with Him-
remember the facts (giants in the
land) are temporal (temporary)
and subject to change whereas His words and agreeing with them are eternal- He
reminds us that Heaven and Earth will pass away but His words will remain
forever! Hallelu-Yah- walking in a demonstration of His power (which is becoming an ever apparent need)
requires a humbling obedience on our parts loved one. Can we even imagine
becoming Kings and Priests in the Millennial Kingdom if we won’t even obey Him
in this day? Would you and I be so foolish to elevate our servants that will
not obey us? Do
we honestly think our King and Messiah will make those among us who choose to
disobey Him Kings and Priests to teach and help direct others to His truths and
instructions? (Torah) Are we among them that erroneously believe we
are now finally under grace? The Scriptures declare Noah found grace in His
eyes. Obviously, so did Adam and Eve as they were not killed but covered with
bloody animal skins. Do we find ourselves believing grace has done away with
the Law or instructions (Torah)?
Since 1 John declares KJV
(1 John 3:4) whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law. Scriptures
(1 John 3:4) everyone doing sin also does
lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. Would we be so deceived that we
believe Yahshua did away with sin which is transgression against the Torah
(Law/Instructions) and therefore paid
the price so that GRACE allows us to sin now without penalty? YHWH forbid us!
What
do the instructions of Yahweh say?
(Romans 10:8)
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief
(trust/faith) which we are
proclaiming: (Romans 10:9) that if you
confess (speak) with your mouth the Master יהושע (The WORD
made flesh who dwells among us) and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you
shall be saved
(Delivered, saved, healed, made whole).
(Romans 10:10)
For with the
heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with
the mouth, and so is saved. (Romans 10:11) Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to
shame.”
He is no respecter of persons but as He told Jeremiah- He is watching over
His word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:12)
And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do
it.”
The Ruach will guide us into more truth as we
receive the engrafted word and become DOERS of what has been revealed. (Romans 2:13)
Not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in
the sight of Elohim, but the doers
of the law 1 shall be declared right. Footnote: 1 Matthew 7:21-27, James 2:14-24.
When
we receive (A decision and choice we each
make) the engrafted word- we will both submit and
obey by our doing or likely we also are deceived or at least prone/susceptible
to hasatan’s attack. If we choose to not receive then we are in rebellion. (1 Samuel 15:22)
Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and slaughterings, as in obeying the
voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an
offering, to heed is better than the fat of rams. (1Samuel
15:23) “For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
(witchcraft) and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does reject you as Sovereign (King).” I expect He will also reject us as
Kings and Priests for disobedience- YIKES!
(James 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. (James 1:22) And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving
yourselves. Footnote: 1 See Matthew
7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49, Luke 8:21, Romans 2:13, Hebrews 4:11, Revelation 22:14. (James 1:23)
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, (James 1:24)
for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was
like. (James 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: 1 See 2:12.
How
many of us still want to fit in, be accepted by unbelieving and mocking worldly
friends and family members? It is time we make ourselves ready and quit playing
with fire- we now must become the bride making ourselves ready! We must pray
for them but become set apart!
(James 4:4)
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know
that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? 1
Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
Elohim. Footnote: 1 Matthew 13:22, Luke
4:5-6, Luke 14:33, Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James
4:5) Or do you think that the
Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely
crave unto envy? (James 4:6) But He gives greater favor. Because of this
He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor
to the humble.” (James 4:7) So then subject (submit- receive and do or SHE’MAH-Hear and
Obey) yourselves
to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he shall flee from you.
Footnote: 1Or adversary. (James 4:8)
Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands,
sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James
4:9) Lament and mourn and weep!
Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble
yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11)
Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a
brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if
you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12) There
is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to
judge another?
(Hebrews 11:1) now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. (Rom 10:17) So then faith comes
by
hearing, and hearing (Cycle) by the word of YHWH. (Rom 10:18) I
say, have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and
their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom 10:19) I say, did not Israel know? First Moses says
I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are
no people, and by a foolish nation I
will anger you. (Rom 10:20) But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was
found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not
after me. (Rom 10:21) But to Israel he says, All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
We
now take a fresh look at the Cycles
of Scripture as our hearts receive fresh revelation and understanding from
hearing and hearing His word.
Loved One, let’s briefly
remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are
“Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth
Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with
him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your
mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother? And
who are
my brothers?
(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward
his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50)
For whosoever shall do
the will
of my
Father which is
in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves
and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH /Instructions)
we are Yahshua’s (Jesus’) family!
Have WE inherited
lies? Most Likely!
We should also realize a
truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY
OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also
known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH
reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and
subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t
please Him because they have pagan roots and are man made (added and subtracted
from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect!
(Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and
my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto
thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have
inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I
command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am
commanding you. Footnote: 1 See
also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:18-19.
Can we even imagine thinking we were
serving YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of Lawlessness (Torahlessness)-
that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually were disobedient
following pagan traditions we inherited?
This experience would
and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth,
into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change
us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing
is too hard for you YHWH! You are family (LOVED ONES) if
you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than
you want acceptance from men and their traditions.
This group would include
us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I
must be willing to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not
and that only leaves you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like
this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake
shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to
humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This
losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image
we are losing our old person (ality)
and gaining HIM! To the degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed-
no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Let’s get hungry for more of Him and less of us- I
suspect we will be most happy not to hear these words from Yahshua!
(Matthew 15:7)
“Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about
you, saying, (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw
near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is
far from Me. (Matthew 15:9) ‘But
in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah.
29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19. VAIN? That’s equivalent to worthless!
With
thankful hearts- which are counting our blessings one by one- let’s turn our
hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion Loved Ones!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Bechukotai “In My Statutes”
Leviticus 26:3- 27:34; Jeremiah 16:19-17:14; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Promises guaranteed
by the Creator for obeying Him and curses guaranteed for disobeying Him! This
applies to many countries including our beloved USA- Note how the correction
and punishment highlights are serious in length.
(Leviticus 26:3) ‘If you walk in my laws and guard my commands, and
shall do them, (Leviticus 26:4) then I shall give you rain in its season, and the land
shall yield its crops, and the trees of the field yield their fruit. (Leviticus 26:5)
‘And your threshing shall last till the time
of the grape harvest and the grape harvest shall last till the time of sowing.
And you shall eat your bread until you have enough, and shall dwell in your
land safely. (Leviticus 26:6) ‘And I shall give
peace in the land, and you shall lie down and no one make you afraid. And I
shall clear the land of evil beasts, and not let the sword go through your
land. (Leviticus 26:7) ‘And you shall
pursue your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. (Leviticus 26:8)
‘And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and
a hundred of you pursue ten thousand. And your enemies shall fall by the sword
before you. (Leviticus 26:9) ‘And I shall turn
to you and make you bear fruit, and shall increase you, and shall establish my
covenant with you. (Leviticus 26:10) ‘And you shall
eat the old supply, and clear out the old because of the new. (Leviticus 26:11)
‘And I shall set My Dwelling Place in your
midst, and my being shall not reject you. (Leviticus
26:12) ‘And
I shall walk in your midst, and shall be your Elohim, and you shall be my
people. (Leviticus 26:13) ‘I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the
land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I have broken the bars of your
yoke and made you walk upright.
(Leviticus 26:14) ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not do all these
commands, (Leviticus 26:15) and if you
reject My laws, or if your being loathes My right-rulings, so that you do not
do all My commands, but break My covenant, (Leviticus 26:16)
I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden
alarm over you, wasting disease and inflammation, destroying the eyes, and
consuming the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall
eat it. (Leviticus 26:17) ‘And I shall set
my face against you, and you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those
who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:18)
‘And after all this, if you do not obey me,
then I shall punish you seven times more for your sins. (Leviticus 26:19)
‘And I shall break the pride of your power,
and shall make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. (Leviticus 26:20)
‘And your strength shall be spent in vain
and your land will not yield its crops, nor do the trees of the land yield
their fruit. (Leviticus 26:21) ‘And if you walk
contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven times more
plagues, according to your sins, (Leviticus
26:22) and
send wild beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I
shall cut off your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways
shall be deserted. (Leviticus 26:23) ‘And if you are
not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Leviticus 26:24)
then I also shall walk contrary to you, and
I myself shall smite you seven times for your sins. (Leviticus 26:25)
‘And I shall bring against you a sword
executing the vengeance of my covenant, and you shall gather together in your
cities, and I shall send pestilence among you, and you shall be given into the
hand of the enemy. (Leviticus 26:26) ‘When I have cut
off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they
shall bring back to you your bread by weight and you shall eat and not be
satisfied. (Leviticus 26:27) ‘And if in spite
of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Leviticus 26:28)
then
I shall walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven
times for your sins. (Leviticus 26:29) ‘And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Leviticus 26:30)
‘And I shall destroy your high places, and
cut down your sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your
idols. And my being shall loathe you. (Leviticus
26:31) ‘And
I shall turn your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and
not smell your sweet fragrances. (Leviticus
26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and
your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Leviticus 26:33)
‘And I shall scatter you among the gentiles
and draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be desert and your cities
ruins, (Leviticus 26:34) and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lays waste
and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would rest and enjoy its
Sabbaths. (Leviticus 26:35) ‘As long as it lays waste it rests, for the
time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it. (Leviticus 26:36)
‘And as for those of you who are left, I
shall send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the
sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And they shall flee as though
retreating from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. (Leviticus 26:37)
‘And they shall stumble over one another, as
from before a sword, when no one pursues. And you shall be unable to stand
before your enemies. (Leviticus 26:38) ‘And you shall
perish among the gentiles, (Heathen)
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up,
(Leviticus 26:39) and those of you
who are left rot away in their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in
their fathers’ crookednesses rot away with them. (Leviticus 26:40) ‘But if they
confess their crookedness and the crookedness of their fathers, with their
trespass in which they trespassed against me, and that they also have walked contrary
to me, (Leviticus 26:41) and that I also have walked contrary to them and have
brought them into the land of their enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is
then humbled, and they accept the punishment of their crookedness, (Leviticus 26:42) then I shall remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also
my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and
remember the land. (Leviticus 26:43)
‘For the land was abandoned by them, and enjoying its Sabbaths while
lying waste without them, and they were paying for their crookedness, because
they rejected my right-rulings and because their being loathed my laws. (Leviticus 26:44)
‘And yet for all this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I
shall not reject them, nor shall I loathe them so as to destroy them and break
my covenant with them. I am יהוה their Elohim. (Leviticus 26:45)
‘Then
I shall remember for their sake the covenant of the ancestors whom I brought
out of the land of Mitsrayim before the eyes of the nations to be their Elohim.
I am יהוה.’
(Leviticus
26:46) These are the laws and the
right-rulings and the Torot 1 which יהוה made between Himself and the children of
Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai by the hand of Mosheh. Footnote:
1 Torot - plural of Torah, teaching.
The tithe of the INCREASE belongs to YHWH!
(Leviticus 27:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus
27:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man
separates a vow, by your evaluation of lives unto יהוה,
(Leviticus 27:3) when your evaluation is of a
male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your evaluation shall be
fifty sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. (Leviticus 27:4)
‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels; (Leviticus 27:5)
and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your evaluation
for a male shall be twenty sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels; (Leviticus 27:6)
and if from a month old up to five years old, then your evaluation for a
male shall be five sheqels of silver, and for a female your evaluation shall be
three sheqels of silver; (Leviticus 27:7) and if from sixty years old and above, if it
is a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen sheqels, and for a female ten
sheqels. (Leviticus 27:8) ‘But if he is too poor to pay your
evaluation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest
shall set a value for him. According to the ability of him who vowed, the
priest shall value him. (Leviticus 27:9) ‘And if it is a beast of which they bring an
offering to יהוה, all such given to יהוה is set-apart. (Leviticus
27:10) ‘He is not to replace it
or exchange it, well for spoilt or spoilt for good. And if he at all exchanges
beast for beast, then both it and the one exchanged for it is set-apart. (Leviticus 27:11)
‘And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring an
offering to יהוה, then he shall
present the beast before the priest; (Leviticus 27:12) and the priest shall value it, whether it is
good or spoilt. According to your evaluation, O priest, so it shall be. (Leviticus 27:13)
‘But if he indeed redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth to your
evaluation. (Leviticus 27:14) ‘And when a man sets his house apart, to be
set-apart to יהוה, then the priest
shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt. As the priest values it, so it
stands. (Leviticus 27:15) ‘And if he who sets it apart does redeem his
house, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and
it shall be his. (Leviticus 27:16) ‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה a field he owns, then your evaluation shall be according to the
seed for it – a ḥomer of barley seed at fifty sheqels of silver. (Leviticus 27:17)
‘If he sets his field apart from the Year of Jubilee, according to your
evaluation it stands. (Leviticus 27:18) ‘But if he sets his field apart after the
Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the silver due according to the
years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your
evaluation. (Leviticus 27:19) ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever
wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your
evaluation to it, and it shall be his. (Leviticus
27:20) ‘And if he does not redeem
the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is no longer
redeemed, (Leviticus 27:21) but the field, when
it is released in the Jubilee, is set-apart to יהוה
as a dedicated field, to be the possession of the priest. (Leviticus 27:22)
‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה
a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession, (Leviticus 27:23)
then the priest shall reckon to him the amount of your evaluation, up to
the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your evaluation on that day, set-apart
to יהוה. (Leviticus
27:24) ‘In the Year of Jubilee
the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him whose is the possession
of the land. (Leviticus 27:25) ‘And all your evaluations is to be according
to the sheqel of the set-apart place: twenty gĕrahs to the sheqel. (Leviticus 27:26)
‘However, a first-born of the beasts, which is first-born to יהוה, no man sets it apart – whether bull or
sheep, it belongs to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:27)
‘And if among the unclean beasts, then he shall ransom it
according to your evaluation, and shall add one-fifth to it. And if it is not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your evaluation. (Leviticus 27:28)
‘However, whatever a man lays under ban for יהוה
of all that he has, man and beast, or the field of his possession, is not sold
or redeemed. Whatever is laid under ban is most set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:29) ‘No one under the ban, under the ban among
men, is ransomed, but shall certainly be put to death. (Leviticus
27:30) ‘And all the tithe of the land – of the seed
of the land or of the fruit of the tree – belongs to יהוה. It is
set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:31) ‘If a man indeed redeems any of his tithes,
he adds one-fifth to it. (Leviticus 27:32) ‘And the entire tithe of the herd and of the
flock all that passes under the rod, the tenth one is set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus
27:33) ‘He does not inquire
whether it is good or spoilt, nor does he exchange it. And if he exchanges it
at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it are set-apart, it is not
redeemed.’ ” (Leviticus 27:34) these are the
commands which יהוה commanded Mosheh for
the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai.
There might be some more “traditions” we
need to depart from! Knowing His name
seems to be more important than many would have us believe! So again- perhaps
we have inherited lies…
(Jeremiah 16:19)
O יהוה, my strength
and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come
to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers
have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.”1 Footnote: 1 See
Psalms 147:19, Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Romans 3:2, Romans 9:4. (Jeremiah 16:20)
Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21)
“Therefore
see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know my hand and my
might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (Jeremiah 17:1)
“The sin of Yehuḏah is written with a pen of
iron, engraved with the point of a diamond on the tablet of their heart, and on
the horns of your altars, (Jeremiah 17:2) while their children remember their altars
and their Ashĕrim by the spreading trees on the high hills. (Jeremiah 17:3)
“My mountain in the field, I give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
your high places of sin, throughout all your borders. (Jeremiah
17:4) “And you, even of yourself,
shall let go of your inheritance which I gave you. And I shall make you serve
your enemies in a land which you have not known, for you have kindled a fire in
my displeasure which burns forever.” (Jeremiah 17:5) Thus said יהוה, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart turns away from יהוה. (Jeremiah 17:6)
“For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good
comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that
is not inhabited. (Jeremiah 17:7) “Blessed is the man who trusts in יהוה, and whose
trust is יהוה. (Jeremiah 17:8) “For he shall be like a tree planted by
the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when
heat comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not
anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah
17:9) “The
heart is crooked 1 above all, and desperately sick – who shall
know it? Footnote: 1 See 7:24, 16:12, 18:12,
23:17. (Jeremiah 17:10) “I, יהוה,
search the heart; I try the kidneys, and give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds. (Jeremiah 17:11) “As a partridge that broods but does not
hatch; so is he who gets riches, not by righteousness. It leaves him in the
midst of his days, and at his end he is a fool.” (Jeremiah
17:12) An esteemed throne,
exalted from the beginning, is the place of our set-apart place. (Jeremiah 17:13)
O יהוה, the expectation of Yisra’ĕl, all who
forsake you are put to shame. “Those who depart from me shall be written in the
earth, because they have forsaken יהוה,
the fountain of living waters.”1 Footnote: 1 See 2:13. (Jeremiah 17:14)
Heal me, O יהוה, so that I am healed.
Save me, so that I am saved, for you are my praise.
Hey this is
not instructions for just marriage- but also friends, business associates- etc.

(2 Co 6:14)
Do not become unevenly yoked with
unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what
fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Co 6:15) And what
agreement has Messiah with Beliyaʽal? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever? (2 Co 6:16) And what union has the Dwelling Place of
Elohim with idols? You are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has
said, “I shall dwell in them and walk among them,
and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.”
Perhaps we should really
pay attention to what YHWH describes through Moses and the Prophets what is
CLEAN and UNCLEAN!
(2 Co 6:17) Therefore, “Come
out from among them and be separate, says יהוה,
and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you. (2 Co
6:18) “And I shall be a Father to you, and you
shall be sons and daughters to me, says יהוה the Almighty.”
Loved One-
our prayer for you and your loved ones is simple; that you give thanks to Him
who gives you breath, that by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh He will direct
you, protect you, provide for you and use you mightily to produce fruit (more
brothers and sisters) for His Kingdom- especially since we all know our time is
temporary here- also that you are a light and a witness to those not yet “sold
out” to obedience to YHWH that brings blessings not curses. We know that legalism is obeying man made and added commands and pagan
holidays and obeying Him always brings blessings and is called
OBEDIENCE!I would
encourage you to consider praying and seeking the Father’s face regarding
drawing nearer to the safest place on the planet- HEARING AND OBEYING HIM! Please pray and intercede for Billie and me as
we are facing some hard decisions and we must hear from heaven now. Know that
our prayers for you continue and if you have specific needs- let us know.
He may have you also preparing for massive Earth Changes as
apparently every major world government is aware of and planning for and digging underground cities for the elite
demon infested wicked rulers to escape to- FEAR NOT- but as you feel led- (NOT in fear) prepare
spirit, soul and body! We can trust our Elohim! We will likely be happy we are
not allowed among them! Hehe This life is
quite temporary in this flesh body- knowing this let’s live our lives that we
may believe YHWH- that if we ask ANYTHING that is according to His word, and we
know He hears us; we KNOW we have the things we have asked for! Hallelu-YAH!
(1 John 1:9)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 5:14)
And this is the boldness that we have in
Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us. (1 John 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!
I pray
also that you walk in Him and produce His fruit that remains! I further pray that you learn to walk in His supernatural
gifts by faith and trust and further that you walk in obedience and so in love
with the Messiah that you FEAR NOT! Thanks for your prayers for us that we also
walk in His power, love and obedience; and that YHWH directs, provides, and
protects us and our loved ones! Billie and I
believe- we know- your wonderful prayers are seeds for your own loved ones-
PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS COMING Thank you for your prayers and intercession for Billie and me as
we try and hear for ourselves and work out what we believe are YHWH’s plans for
us with fear and trembling! Once again, we sincerely request your prayerful
intercession now due to much opposition and wickedness that requires our
absolute hearing and obedience right now. Thank you for your love—we will continue
to pray for you also loved one. Let us know if there are specific prayer
requests.
Don’t be disheartened- you were created by our Heavenly Father to
live in these times and seasons! Be encouraged- He is well able to deliver you
and your loved ones- worship Him who made Heaven and Earth! You are much loved!
Shalom to your home
Loved One,
Thurston
Continued 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
(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 Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you,
for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote:
