Shabbat
Shalom Loved One!
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!
We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! (If we find ourselves fearful watching world events unfurl perhaps
we need to spend more time in the Scriptures getting to know more intimately
our loving Creator who has ALL power and laughs at the wicked men raging
against Him- He holds them in derision- not us who love Him and want to obey
Him- Eyes
focused on Him- FEAR NOT!
Recently
I
watched a You Tube video that brought me to repentance- especially
about my
pointing the finger at other ministries which I did not agree with their
ministry methods. Simply put I was wrong and repented. Here’s the link-
I suspect you
will enjoy- the “Voice of the Bride”:
Shalom Family-- I have been up during
the night again, praying and seeking His face. I am sensing great turmoil and
shaking that is upon us living on the earth at this time. A bride is coming
forth from great birth pangs. A Set Apart people will be formed from great pain
and anguish. Everything we say we are and believe will be tested to determine
if it is blessing or curse for the Kingdom, as great or gross darkness will
cover the people...but we will rise and shine. These things which I sense as great turmoil
must happen for our blessing to come and for us to have His wisdom and
anointing to go forth in His love, power, and a sound mind- with His will... to
do the works of Yahshua!
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise,
shine, for your light has come! And the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you. Isaiah
60:2 “For look, darkness covers the earth, and
thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen
upon you. Isaiah 60:3 “And the gentiles
shall come to your light (1), and sovereigns
to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: (1) Isaiah 60:19, 20, Revelation.
21:23, 24 Isaiah 60:4 “Lift
up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to
you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side.
Isaiah 60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright, and
your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you,
the riches of the gentiles come to you.
Here's what I believe is coming...is even
upon us. KJV
Isaiah 54:10 The
mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not
depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," Says the
LORD, who has mercy on you. Isaiah 54:11 "O
you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your
stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Isaiah 54:12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. Isaiah 54:13 All your children shall be taught by
the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:14 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be
far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not
come near you. Isaiah 54:15 Indeed they
shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you
shall fall for your sake. Isaiah 54:16 "Behold,
I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth
an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. Isaiah
54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and
every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from me,"
Says the LORD.
Here are some strategic facts just after
this scripture...with the link at the end...time we pray and seek His face
family- time we really get to know this King of Glory...it is not enough that
we know about Him or His story as casual
believers...the demons believe and SHUDDER. I want to encourage us to remember
and take to heart...we will have the Holy Spirit’s direction, comfort, and help
as He shows us things to come with power to overcome all the plans of Hell.
Acts 2:16 “But
this is what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ĕl (Joel):
Acts 2:17 ‘And
it shall be in the last days,
says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams, Acts 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. Acts 2:19 ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs
in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. Acts 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. Acts
2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who
calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ (Saved is from the Greek word Sozo and means saved, healed, delivered,
and made whole!)1 Footnote: 1 Joel 2:28-32, Romans 10:13
HERE
ARE THE FACTS- REPORT...FEAR NOT!
What (If anything) does it mean is for you and I to seek the Holy Spirit
about.
A chilling report published today by the
Ministry of Economic Development (MED) is warning of potentially “catastrophic
unknown consequences” relating to President Putin’s issuance to the Central
Bank of Russia (CBR) of orders to initiate what is commonly known within the
Kremlin as the “Samson Defense” designed to crash the Russian ruble, while at
the same time insuring the economic collapse of both the United States and
European Union.The CBR’s “Samson Defense” is a Russian
monetary strategy designed to economically mirror Israel’s feared “Samson
Option” deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a
“last resort” if military attacks threaten its existence.In Putin’s action against the US-EU,
this report says, the CBR’s stunning move earlier today in raising the interest
rate to 17% from 10.5% has had its desired consequence as the ruble plunged
more than 20% and to date and has now lost about 57% of its value versus the US
dollar since the start of the year, which exceeds the 36% plunge related to the
2008 global economic crisis.
Most importantly to note about this
currency plunge, however, this report notes, are that Russia’s fiscal domestic
accounts are denominated in depreciating rubles and its oil exports are
invoiced in an appreciating US dollar, meaning that the fiscal blow from lower
oil prices will be cushioned by a weak ruble, and was a strategy that Putin
warned about earlier when he stated that the Federation was braced for a
“catastrophic” slump in oil prices. Equally as important to note, MED
analysts in this report say, the CBR agreed to lend money this week against 625
billion rubles (over $10 billion) of bonds freshly printed by oil giant Rosneft
allowing it to hoard its export dollars and meet a $10 billion loan repayment
later this month, and another $4 billion in February. As to how catastrophically low oil
prices can fall, this report continues, it notes that OPEC has already stated
that they are willing to push prices as low as $40 a barrel in their bid to
take on Russia and US shale, a stance which began this past September when the
Obama regime reached a secret deal with Saudi Arabia in order to flood the
world with oil to collapse the Russian economy, but which has now backfired on
them as the Saudis seek to bankrupt US shale producers too.
With 15% of US shale gas producers are
already losing money because of the Obama regimes secret deal with Saudi
Arabia, this report warns, up to half of all of Americas shale operations will
face financial ruin if oil prices slip below $55 a barrel leaving millions
without jobs in an already collapsing economy. To the ability of the Federation
withstanding a “Samson Defense” economic war against the US and EU, this report
says, it should be noted that the current debt of the US stands at a staggering
$18 trillion [an amount so large it is now mathematically impossible to ever
pay back] while the EU is, likewise, at a equally staggering amount of €12
trillion ($15 trillion). Compared to the combined US-EU debt of
$30 trillion, this report notes, Russia has only $678 billion in foreign debt,
has very little outstanding debt and its public debt to gross domestic product
ratio is 10% - an excellent figure compared to the EU’s dismal average ratio of
90.9 and the US’s 71.8%. Likewise to note, MED analysts in this
report say, is that while Russia’s debt to GDP is roughly 14%, the EU currently
stands at 90.9%, the US at 80.2%, and Japan’s at 227%, meaning, simply, that
the Federation can withstand any economic hardship the Western alliance puts
against it. Also, and as independent analysts
confirm, Moscow‘s coffers are well-filled, giving Russia the durability to
weather a double external shock - tanking oil prices and Western sanctions.
The Finance Ministry controls two
sovereign wealth funds, which contained some $172 billion as of December. The
money, held in foreign currency, has been accumulated during the past 15 years
of high oil and gas revenues and has been earmarked as a piggy bank, primarily
for the pension system. Additionally, the CBR’s overall foreign
currency reserves stood at a healthy $416.2 billion dollars in early December. And most critical to note about the
“Samson Defense”, this report concludes, is that Russia will not cut its oil
production against the headwinds of collapsing prices, and may, indeed,
increase its amount as the plunging ruble, combined with a rising US dollar,
actually makes Federation oil the most affordable in the world. December 16, 2014 © EU and US all rights

Once again I want to encourage you Loved One- no matter what evil the enemy
has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient- giving thanks in all things,
our Master and King will use us mightily to produce fruit that remains- even
beyond us!
Psalm
119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. No one is arguing with YHWH in Heaven, the
thing we (you and I) must enforce is His
word by speaking agreement with His promises in the earth; where hasatan is
ruling the masses. We must focus our attention on Him
and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. He has destroyed the
works of hell and therefore we can overcome the plans of hell, the giants and
overwhelming obstacles and still walk in victory. Some day we may see a “False
flag” of sorts where we may see the dollar collapse or hopefully just changed
out for an asset backed one, possibly massive earthquakes, fallen demonic alien
looking beings and spacecraft claiming they know Yahshua as He was one of their
creations, etc.; even possibly a hologram by project blue beam showing Yahshua
speaking to us confirming the anti-messiah. They may create race wars with mind
control and fill up FEMA camps etc. - but Yahshua promises He will
give us words to speak and not one hair of our head will be lost:
(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 (race-ethnos) shall rise against nation
(race-ethnos), 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) “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, and then
know that it’s lying 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. (This
is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and
the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war):
(Zechariah 14:2) and I
shall gather all the gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim1.
And the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half
of the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut
off from the city. Footnote: 1 Joel 3:2,
Zephaniah 3:8, And Revelation 16:14. (Zechariah
14:3) And יהוה shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as
He fights in the day of battle.
If we claim to be
of Yahshua and heir to His promises to Abraham, then we MUST and WILL walk like
Yahshua did.
(1 John 2:4) The one who says,
“I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him. (1 John 2:5) But whoever
guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected1 in
him. By this we know that we are in Him.2
Footnotes: 1 Genesis 17:1, Psalms 119:1, and
Matthew 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1 John 2:6) The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to
walk, even as He walked.
If
we are unsure what YHWH sees as sin in our lives- CONSIDER HIS DEFINITION OF
SIN – we should never call ourselves “sinners”- He told me one time not to
call filthy what He has cleansed! We must flee sin and quickly repent and obey Him
when we miss it or even rebel- His seed is in us! Remember our words are spirit
and life- we use them to prophesy our direction and destinies! We must speak
agreement with our King’s words.
(1 John 3:4) Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin
is lawlessness (Torahlessness)
(1 John 3:5) and you know that He was
manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. (1 John 3:6)
Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone
sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.1 Footnote: 1See 2:4 & 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:7)
Little children, let no one lead you astray. The
one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.1
Footnote: 1 See 2:29. (1 John 3:8)
The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the
beginning. For
this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.1 Footnote: 1 See Titus 2:14. (1 John 3:9)
Everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin, because His seed stays
in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of Elohim.
(1 John 3:10)
In this the children of Elohim and the children of the devil are
manifest: Everyone not doing righteousness is not of
Elohim,1 neither the one not loving his brother. Footnote: 1 See 3 John v. 11. (1 John 3:11) This
is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another, (1 John 3:12) not as Qayin who was of
the wicked one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his
works were wicked but those of his brother were righteous. (1 John 3:13) Do not marvel,
my brothers, if the world hates you.1
Footnote: 1 See John 15:18-19, John 17:14.
Here’s another
thought for consideration:
(Romans 14:22) Do you have belief (Trust-faith)? Have it to yourself
before Elohim. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. (Romans 14:23)
But he, who doubts, if he eats, is condemned, because it is not of belief
(Trust-faith), and all that is
not of belief (Trust-faith) is
sin. Remember rebellion (disobedience) is likened to the SIN of
witchcraft.
We must take our thoughts captive to be in obedience to Messiah
Yahshua. (2 Corinthians 10:3) Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight
according to the flesh. (2 Corinthians 10:4) For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly
but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, (2
Corinthians 10:5) overthrowing reasoning’s and every high matter (idea) that exalts itself against the
knowledge of Elohim,
taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah,
(2 Corinthians 10:6) and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience
is complete. 1 Footnote: 1 John
3:36.
This
is how we are instructed to keep our faith and trust by guarding our hearts and
minds in what we think and speak.
(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice in יהוה always, again
I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5) Let your gentleness be known to all men. The
Master is near. (Philippians 4:6) Do not
worry (be anxious) at all, but in
every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your
requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7) And the peace
(SHALOM) of Elohim, which surpasses
all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8) For the rest,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever
is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any
uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these. (Philippians 4:9)
And what you have learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice
these, and the Elohim
of peace shall be with you.
To explain further the reality concerning our authority over the
devil’s works in our lives; many years ago Yahshua told me, “I destroyed the
works of hell, he has NO power of his own!” Then
I asked Him, “If he has no power how then is he doing so much evil against us
as believers?” Then Yahshua spoke again, “he has no
power of his own but to show you the storm and the overwhelming
circumstances/obstacles to your provision from me. When you agree with your
words with the storm and circumstances (like Kĕpha (Peter) did when the storm came as I had
commanded him to walk on the water and come to me- and he put his eyes on the
great storm and off of me and sank) hasatan steals your power- you agree with
hell and I stand down, leaving you with the results of the one you have agreed
with!” Yahshua continued, (Proverbs 18:21)
Death and life
are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.” We
MUST speak Scripture and agreement with our King, or we are not following our
King Yahshua Messiah!
REMEMBER our tongue will direct our lives;
IF we remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to
destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM
as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH! He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in
the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report
in today’s Torah portion! Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the
land but we will believe and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH
OUR KING!
That means you and I can draw near to Him who made Heaven
and Earth and OVERCOME all the power of the enemy! (Luke 10:18) And
He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heaven as lightning. (Luke 10:19) “See, I give you
the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, (All demonic authority) and over all the
power of the enemy, and none at all shall hurt you. (Luke 10:20) “But do not rejoice
in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your
names have been written in the heavens.” Hallelu-YAH! No need to fear man and the demonic hordes that do evil
against us- he can only kill the body which is going back to dirt anyway- FEAR
HIM (Awe and respect) who can cast to hell’s flames where the worm dies not! Luke_12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say
unto you, Fear him. Matthew_10:28
and fear not them which kill the body, but are not able
to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Hey this is a not difficult to ascertain wisdom- let’s draw near to our loving
King, director, provider and protector!
Okay- this
is what happens when we submit and obey willingly; Submitting means submitting to the WORD and we change for
He changes NOT! Look- He really wants to help us and
delivers us from all the works of hell!
(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 my commands.1
Footnote: 1 See Exodus 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 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.”
(Isaiah 1:18)
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah
1:19) “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat
the good of the land; (Isaiah 1:20)
but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word
of Life by submitting (receiving) -
we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more
like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7) So
then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil1
and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or
adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to
you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! This shows our maturity as we yield our
tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He directs us
more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose and FEAR
NOT! Our loving Creator who has ALL power laughs
at the wicked men raging against Him- He holds them in derision- FEAR NOT!
Hebraically speaking, IF we REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM – (believe what He
says) we will DO what He says! Goodness- IF the works of hell are headed our
way? SO WHAT! He really will help us and deliver us from all the works
of hell! We are overcomers and willing to stop LISTEN and OBEY!
(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 my commands.1
Footnote: 1 See Exodus 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 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.”
Have we missed it? MOST LIKELY!
(Isaiah 1:18)
“Come now, and
let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they
shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:19) “If you submit and
obey (willing and obedient), you
shall eat the good of the land; (Isaiah
1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,”
the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
We become LESS and He becomes MORE of us! As we receive the engrafted Word
of Life by submitting (receiving) -
we become DOERS of the Word and not hearers only! We change and become more
like our King and Savior. Then we are not so easily deceived. (James 4:7) So
then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil 1
and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or
adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to
you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! This
shows our maturity as we yield our tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and He directs us. As He
directs us more and more we can become more assured of our destiny and purpose
and FEAR NOT!
Still got a
Christmas tree? Obedience is still better than all our sacrifices- Do we want
to avoid Him rejecting us? Come out from her my people OR partake in her
plagues…
(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. (1 Samuel 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.”
Let’s
not our customs be worthless before YHWH!
(Jeremiah 10:1) Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl. (Jeremiah
10:2) Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles (pagan-heathen), 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, Deuteronomy 12:30
& 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 & 20:32, Ephesians 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2 Deuteronomy 4:19
& 17:3. (Jeremiah 10:3) “For the prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless, for one
cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman
with a cutting tool. (Jeremiah 10:4) “They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and
hammers so that it does not topple.
Please hear with your spiritual ears: Our tongue will direct our lives; IF we
remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to destruction! If we submit we gain His SHALOM as He directs us! Hallelu-YAH!
He IS the Prince of Shalom! This is evident in the 2 spies GOOD REPORT (Yah’s
word) VS the 10 spies Evil factual report in last week’s Torah portion!
Yes- especially for us today there are giants in the land but we will believe
and SPEAK AGREEMENT WITH OUR KING!
We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! (Again, if we find ourselves fearful watching world events unfurl
perhaps we need to spend more time in the Scriptures getting to know more
intimately our loving Creator who has ALL power and laughs at the wicked men
raging against Him- He holds them in derision- not us who love Him and want to
obey Him- Eyes focused on Him- FEAR NOT!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Korach “Korah”
Numbers 16:1-18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14-12:25; Hebrews Chapter
3; Jude 1:9-23; Revelation 12:13-17
Goodness
Loved One- see what self-exaltation and pride brings- A FALL!
(Numbers 16:1) And Qoraḥ,
son of Yitshar, son of Qehath, son of Lĕwi, took both Dathan and Aḇiram the
sons of Eliyaḇ, and On, son of Peleth, sons of Re’uḇĕn, (Numbers 16:2) and they rose up before Mosheh with
some of the children of Yisra’ĕl, two hundred and fifty leaders of the
congregation, called ones of the meeting, men of name. (Numbers
16:3) And they assembled against
Mosheh and against Aharon, and said to them, “Enough of you! For the entire
congregation is set-apart, all of them, and יהוה is in their
midst. Why then do you lift up yourselves above the assembly of יהוה?” (Numbers 16:4) And when Mosheh heard, he fell on his face, (Numbers 16:5) and spoke to Qoraḥ and all his
company, saying, “Tomorrow morning יהוה
shall make known who is His and who is set-apart, and bring him near to
Him. And let Him bring near to Him the one whom He chooses. (Numbers 16:6)
“Do this: Take fire holders, Qoraḥ and all your company, (Numbers 16:7) and put fire in them and put incense
in them before יהוה tomorrow. And it
shall be that the one whom יהוה chooses is the
set-apart one. Enough of you- sons of Lĕwi!” (Numbers
16:8) And Mosheh said to Qoraḥ,
“Hear now, you sons of Lĕwi: (Numbers 16:9) “Is it little to you that the Elohim of
Yisra’ĕl has separated you from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, to bring you near
to Himself, to perform the service of the Dwelling Place of יהוה, and to stand before the congregation to serve them, (Numbers 16:10)
and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brothers,
the sons of Lĕwi, with you? Yet you seek the priesthood as well? (Numbers 16:11)
“Therefore you and all your company are set against יהוה. And Aharon, what is he that you grumble against him?” (Numbers 16:12)
And Mosheh sent to call Dathan and Aḇiram the sons of Eliyaḇ, but they
said, “We are not coming up! (Numbers 16:13) “Is it little that you have brought us up out
of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you
would also seize total rule over us? (Numbers 16:14) “Also, you have not brought us into a land
flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards.
Would you bore out the eyes of these men? We are not coming up!”
Moses makes His plea for JUSTICE before the Father of Lights! Korah makes
his plea to the people!
(Numbers 16:15) And Mosheh
became very displeased, and said to יהוה,
“Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have
I done harm to any of them.” (Numbers 16:16) Then Mosheh said to Qoraḥ, “Tomorrow, you
and all your company shall be there before יהוה,
you, them and Aharon. (Numbers 16:17) “And take each one his fire holder, and you
shall put incense in it. And let each one bring his fire holder before יהוה, two hundred and fifty fire holders, and
you and Aharon, each one with his fire holder.” (Numbers
16:18) So each one took his fire
holder, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of
the Tent of Meeting with Mosheh and Aharon. (Numbers
16:19) And Qoraḥ assembled the
entire congregation against them at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Then
the esteem (Glory) of יהוה appeared to the entire congregation.
YHWH will have the FINAL ANSWER- yes even in your plea for justice! Note
YHWH’s Judgment-
(Numbers 16:20) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 16:21) “Separate yourselves from the midst
of this congregation, and let me consume them in a moment.”
(Numbers 16:22)
But they fell on their faces, and said, “O Ěl, Elohim of the spirits of
all flesh! When one man sins, are you wroth with the entire congregation?” (Numbers 16:23)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:24) “Speak to the congregation, saying;
‘Move away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram.’ ” (Numbers 16:25) So Mosheh rose up and went to Dathan
and Aḇiram, and the elders of Yisra’ĕl followed him. (Numbers
16:26) And he spoke to the
congregation, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wrong men! Do
not touch whatever belongs to them, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” (Numbers 16:27)
Then they moved away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and
Aḇiram. And Dathan and Aḇiram came out and stood at the door of their
tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little children. (Numbers 16:28)
And Mosheh said, “By this you know that יהוה has sent me to do all these works that they are not from
my own heart. (Numbers 16:29) “If these die as all men do, or if they are visited as all men are
visited, then יהוה has not sent me.
(Numbers 16:30)
“But if יהוה creates what is unheard of, and the earth
opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go
down alive into the grave, then you shall know that these men have scorned יהוה.”
(Numbers 16:31) And it came to
be, as he ended speaking all these words, that the ground
under them split apart, (Numbers 16:32)
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up,
with their households and all the men with Qoraḥ, with all their goods.
(Numbers 16:33)
So they and all those with them went down alive into the
grave, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the
assembly.
This judgment put the FEAR of YHWH (Not the devil and
his men) into everyone- We can expect
the same! Remember these Scriptures are the shadow picture of good things
to come! Hallelu-YAH!
(Numbers 16:34) And all Yisra’ĕl
who were round about them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” (Numbers 16:35)
And a fire came out from יהוה and consumed the two
hundred and fifty men who were offering incense. (Numbers
16:36) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:37) “Say to Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, to
pick up the fire holders out of the blaze, for they are set-apart, and scatter
the fire some distance away. (Numbers 16:38) “The fire holders of these men, who sinned
against their own lives, let them be made into beaten plates as a covering
for the altar. Because they brought them before יהוה,
therefore they are set-apart. And let them become a sign to the children of
Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 16:39) And Elʽazar the priest took the bronze fire
holders, which those who were burned up had brought, and they were beaten out
as a covering on the altar – (Numbers 16:40) a
remembrance to the children of Yisra’ĕl that no stranger who is not of the seed
of Aharon, should come near to offer incense before יהוה,
and not be like Qoraḥ and his company – as יהוה
had said to him through Mosheh.
There will be those in our assemblies of believers in the DAYS OF JACOB’S
TROUBLES that will rebel- complain and murmur and receive YHWH’s judgment also-
our goal is to not be among them! Please NOTE- the love of Moses
and Aaron for the people and their interceding for them-
(Numbers 16:41) But all the
congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and against
Aharon on the next day, saying, “You, you have killed the people of יהוה.” (Numbers 16:42) And it came to be, when the congregation
assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon, that they turned toward the Tent
of Meeting. And see, the cloud covered it, and the esteem of יהוה appeared. (Numbers 16:43) And Mosheh and Aharon came before the Tent of
Meeting. (Numbers 16:44) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 16:45) “Arise from amidst this congregation, and let me consume them in a
moment.” And they fell on their faces. (Numbers
16:46) So Mosheh said to Aharon,
“Take the fire holder and put fire in it from the altar, and lay incense on,
and go, hurry to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has
gone out from יהוה, the plague has
begun.” (Numbers 16:47) And Aharon took it as Mosheh commanded, and
ran into the midst of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the
people. And he laid on the incense and made atonement for the people, (Numbers 16:48) and stood between the dead and the
living. And the
plague was stopped. (Numbers 16:49) And those who died in the plague were
fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Qoraḥ. (Numbers 16:50)
Then Aharon returned to Mosheh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for
the plague had stopped.
YHWH’s Instructions come from RELATIONSHIP!
(Numbers 17:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 17:2) “Speak
to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and take from them a rod from each father’s house,
all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each
one’s name on his rod, (Numbers 17:3) and write
Aharon’s name on the rod of Lĕwi, for there is one rod for the head of each
father’s house. (Numbers 17:4) “You shall then place them in the Tent of
Meeting before the Witness, where I meet with you. (Numbers
17:5) “And it shall be that the
rod of the man whom I choose buds, and I shall rid myself of the grumblings of
the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they grumble against you.” (Numbers 17:6)
And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and all their leaders gave
him a rod each, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve
rods. And the rod of Aharon was among their rods. (Numbers
17:7) So Mosheh placed the rods
before יהוה in the Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 17:8)
And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh went into the Tent of the
Witness and saw that the rod of Aharon, of the house of Lĕwi, had budded, and
brought forth buds, and blossomed and bore ripe almonds. (Numbers 17:9)
And Mosheh brought out all the rods from before יהוה
to all the children of Yisra’ĕl. And they looked, and each man took his rod. (Numbers 17:10)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Bring Aharon’s rod back
before the Witness, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, so that you
put an end to their grumblings against me, lest they die.” (Numbers 17:11)
And Mosheh did as יהוה had commanded him, so
he did. (Numbers 17:12) And the children of Yisra’ĕl spoke to Mosheh,
saying, “See, we shall die, we shall perish, we shall all perish! (Numbers 17:13)
“Anyone who comes near the Dwelling Place of יהוה
dies. Shall we be consumed – to die?”
Guarding
our Royal Priesthood!
(Numbers 18:1) And יהוה said to
Aharon, “You and your sons and your father’s house with you are to bear the
crookedness against the set-apart place, and you and your sons with you are to
bear the crookedness against your priesthood. (Numbers
18:2) “But bring with you your
brothers of the tribe of Lĕwi too, the tribe of your father to join you and
serve you while you and your sons are with you before the Tent of the Witness. (Numbers 18:3)
“And they shall guard your charge, and the duty of the entire Tent, but
they do not come near the furnishings of the set-apart place and the altar,
lest they die, both they and you. (Numbers 18:4) “And they shall be joined with you and guard
the duty to the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent, but a
stranger does not come near you. (Numbers 18:5) “And you shall guard the duty of the
set-apart place and the duty of the altar, so that there be no more wrath on
the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 18:6) “And see, I myself have taken your brothers
the Lĕwites from the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl – a gift to you, given
by יהוה, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.
(Numbers 18:7)
“But you and your sons with you are to guard your priesthood for all
matters at the altar and behind the veil, and you shall serve. I have given you the priesthood as a gift for service,
but the stranger who comes near is put to death.” (Numbers
18:8) And יהוה
spoke to Aharon, “And see, I myself have also given you the charge of my contributions,
all the set-apart gifts of the children of Yisra’ĕl. I have given them to you
for the anointing, and to your sons, as a law forever. (Numbers
18:9) “This is yours of the most
set-apart gifts, from the fire: all their offerings, all their grain
offerings and all their sin offerings and all their guilt offerings which they
render to me, are most set-apart for you and your sons. (Numbers 18:10) “Eat it in
the most set-apart place – every male eats it. It is set-apart to you. (Numbers 18:11)
“This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, with all the wave
offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. I have given them to you, and your sons
and daughters with you, as a law forever. Everyone who is clean in your house
eats it. (Numbers 18:12) “All the best of the oil, and all the best of
the new wine and the grain – their first-fruits which they give to יהוה – I have given them to you. (Numbers 18:13)
“The first-fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to יהוה, are yours. Everyone who is clean in your
house eats it. (Numbers 18:14) “All that is dedicated in Yisra’ĕl is yours. (Numbers 18:15)
“Everyone opening a womb of all flesh, which they bring to יהוה, whether man or beast, is yours. But the
first-born of man you shall certainly ransom, and the first-born of the unclean
beast you ransom. (Numbers 18:16) “And ransom their ransomed ones when one
month old, according to your valuation, five sheqels of silver, according to
the sheqel of the set-apart place, which is twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 18:17)
“But the first-born of a cow, or the first-born of a sheep, or the
first-born of a goat you do not ransom, they are set-apart. Sprinkle their
blood on the altar, and burn their fat as an offering made by fire for a sweet
fragrance to יהוה. (Numbers 18:18)
“And their flesh is yours, as the wave breast and as the right thigh, it
is yours. (Numbers 18:19) “All the contributions of the set-apart gifts,
which the children of Yisra’ĕl present to יהוה,
I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as a law forever. It
is a covenant of salt forever before יהוה
with you and your seed with you.” (Numbers 18:20) And יהוה
said to Aharon, “You are not to have an inheritance in their land, nor have any
portion in their midst. I am your portion and your inheritance among the
children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 18:21) “And see, I have given the children of Lĕwi
all the tithes in Yisra’ĕl as an inheritance in return for the service which
they are serving, the service of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers
18:22) “And let the children of
Yisra’ĕl no more come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin and die, (Numbers 18:23) because the Lĕwites shall do the
service of the Tent of Meeting, so they themselves bear their crookedness. A
law forever, throughout your generations: that among the children of Yisra’ĕl
they are to have no inheritance, (Numbers 18:24)
but the tithes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they present as a
contribution to יהוה, I have given to the
Lĕwites as an inheritance. That is why I have said to them, ‘among the children
of Yisra’ĕl they have no inheritance.’ ” (Numbers
18:25) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers
18:26) “Speak to the Lĕwites and
say to them, ‘When you take from the children of Yisra’ĕl the tithes which I
have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall present a
contribution of it to יהוה, a tenth of the
tithe. (Numbers 18:27) ‘And your contribution shall be reckoned to
you as grain from the threshing-floor and as filling from the winepress. (Numbers 18:28)
‘Thus you also present a contribution unto יהוה
from all your tithes which you receive from the children of Yisra’ĕl. And you
shall give from it the contribution to יהוה
to Aharon the priest. (Numbers 18:29) ‘From all your gifts you present every
contribution due to יהוה, from all the best of
them, the set-apart part of them.’ (Numbers 18:30) “And you shall say to them, ‘When you have
presented the best of it, then the rest shall be reckoned to the Lĕwites as the
yield of the threshing-floor and as the yield of the winepress. (Numbers 18:31)
‘And you shall eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is
your reward for your service in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers
18:32) and bear no sin because of
it, when you have presented the best of it, and do not profane the set-apart
gifts of the children of Yisra’ĕl, lest you die.’”
Walking righteously brings appointment and expectations (Usability) by YHWH- note his
love to obey and pray for the people--
(1 Samuel 11:14) And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “Come, and
let us go to Gilgal and renew the reign there.” (1 Samuel 11:15) and all the people went to Gilgal,
and there they set up Sha’ul to reign before יהוה in Gilgal, and
there they made slaughterings of peace offerings before יהוה.
And there Sha’ul rejoiced, and all the men of Yisra’ĕl, very greatly. 1 Samuel 12:1) And Shemu’ĕl said to all Yisra’ĕl, “Look,
I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have set a
sovereign over you. (1 Samuel 12:2) “And now, look, the sovereign is walking
before you. And I am old and grey, and look, my sons are with you. And I have
walked before you from my youth to this day. (1 Samuel
12:3) “Look,
here I am. Witness against me before יהוה and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey
have I taken, or whom have I oppressed? Whom have I abused, or from whose hand
have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? – then I restore it to
you.” (1
Samuel 12:4) And they said, “You have not oppressed us or abused us, nor have you
taken any bribe from anyone’s hand.” (1
Samuel 12:5) So he said to them,
“יהוה is witness against you, and His anointed
is witness today, that you have found naught in my hand.” And they answered,
“He is witness.” (1 Samuel 12:6) And Shemu’ĕl said to the people, “It is יהוה who appointed
Mosheh and Aharon, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Mitsrayim. (1 Samuel 12:7) “And now, stand still, so that I judge you
before יהוה concerning all the righteous acts of יהוה which He did to you and your fathers: (1 Samuel 12:8) “When Yaʽaqoḇ had come to Mitsrayim,
and your fathers cried out to יהוה, then יהוה sent Mosheh and Aharon, who brought your fathers out of
Mitsrayim and made them dwell in this place. (1 Samuel
12:9) “But they forgot יהוה their Elohim, so He sold them into the hand
of Sisera, commander of the army of Ḥatsor, and into the hand of the
Philistines, and into the hand of the sovereign of Mo’aḇ. And they fought
against them. (1 Samuel 12:10) “And they cried out to יהוה,
and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken יהוה
and served the Baʽals and the Ashtaroth. And now, deliver us from the hand of
our enemies, and we serve you.’ (1 Samuel 12:11) “And יהוה
sent Yerubbaʽal, and Beḏan, and Yiphtaḥ, and Shemu’ĕl, and delivered you out
of the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt in safety. (1 Samuel 12:12)
“And when you saw that Naḥash sovereign of the children of Ammon came
against you, you said to me, ‘No, but let a sovereign reign over us,’ when יהוה your Elohim was your sovereign. (1 Samuel 12:13)
“And now, here is the sovereign whom you have chosen and whom you have
asked. And see, יהוה has set a sovereign
over you. (1 Samuel 12:14) “If you fear יהוה,
and shall serve Him and obey His voice, and not rebel against the command of יהוה, then both you and the sovereign who
reigns over you shall follow יהוה your Elohim. (1 Samuel 12:15)
“But if you do not obey the voice of יהוה,
and shall rebel against the command of יהוה,
then the hand of יהוה shall be against you,
as it was against your fathers. (1 Samuel 12:16) “And now, stand and see this great matter
which יהוה does before your eyes: (1 Samuel 12:17) “Is today not the wheat harvest? Let
me call to יהוה, so that He sends thunder and rain – know
then and see that your evil is great, which you have done in the eyes of יהוה, in asking for yourselves a sovereign.” (1 Samuel 12:18)
And Shemu’ĕl called to יהוה, and יהוה sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly
feared יהוה and Shemu’ĕl. (1
Samuel 12:19) And all the people
said to Shemu’ĕl, “Pray for your servants to יהוה
your Elohim, that we do not die, for we have added to all our sins this
evil of asking for ourselves a sovereign.” (1 Samuel
12:20) And Shemu’ĕl said to the
people, “Do not fear. You have done all this evil. Only, do not turn aside from
following יהוה. And you shall serve יהוה with all your heart, (1 Samuel 12:21)
and do not turn aside after worthless matters which do not profit or
deliver, for they are worthless. (1 Samuel 12:22) “For יהוה would not cast away
His people, for His great Name’s sake, seeing it has pleased יהוה to make you His people. (1
Samuel 12:23) “Also, as for me, far be it from
me that I should sin against יהוה in ceasing to pray for you, but I shall teach you the
good and straight way. (1 Samuel 12:24) “Only fear יהוה, and you shall serve Him in truth with all
your heart, for consider what marvels He has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:25)
“But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your sovereign are
consumed.”
We must keep ourselves in an obedient and humble mode- keeping no
offense- so we continue to hear His Instructions
(Hebrews 3:1) Therefore, set-apart brothers, partakers of
the heavenly calling, closely consider the Emissary and High Priest of our
confession, Messiah יהושע, (Hebrews 3:2)
who was trustworthy to Him who appointed Him, as also Mosheh in his entire
house. (Hebrews 3:3) For this one has been deemed worthy of more
esteem than Mosheh, as much as He who built the house enjoys more respect than
the house. (Hebrews 3:4) Every house is built by someone, but He who
built all is Elohim. (Hebrews 3:5) And Mosheh indeed was trustworthy in his
entire house as a servant, for a witness of what would be spoken later, (Hebrews 3:6)
but Messiah as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold
fast the boldness and the boasting of the expectation firm to the end. (Hebrews 3:7)
Therefore, as the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if you
hear His voice, (Hebrews 3:8) do not harden your hearts as in
the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9) where your fathers tried Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.
(Hebrews 3:10)
“Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,
‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’
(Hebrews 3:11)
“As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter
into my rest...’ ”1 Footnote: 1Ps.
95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12) Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of
you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews 3:13)
but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness
of sin. (Hebrews 3:14) For we have become partakers of Messiah if we
hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end, (Hebrews
3:15) while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:16)
For whom, having heard, rebelled? Was it not all who came out of
Mitsrayim, led by Mosheh? (Hebrews 3:17) And with who was He grieved forty years? Was
it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? (Hebrews 3:18)
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to
those who did not obey? (Hebrews 3:19) So we see that they were unable
to enter in because of unbelief.
We are warned here not to murmur and complain; but to pray in the Spirit-
building up our most set apart faith and trust that He may direct us to produce
fruit that remains!
(Jude 1:9) But Miḵa’ĕl the chief messenger (Angel), in contending with the devil,
when he disputed about the body of Mosheh, presumed not to bring against him a
blasphemous accusation, but said, “יהוה rebuke you!” (Jude 1:10)
But these blaspheme that which they do not know. And that which they
know naturally, like unreasoning beasts, in these they corrupt themselves. (Jude 1:11)
Woe to them! They have gone in the way of Qayin, and gave themselves to
the delusion of Bilʽam for a reward, and perished in the rebellion of Qoraḥ. (Jude 1:12)
These are rocky reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you, feeding
themselves without fear, waterless clouds borne about by the winds, late autumn
trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots, (Jude 1:13)
wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shame, straying stars for
whom blackness of darkness is kept forever. (Jude
1:14) And Ḥanoḵ, the seventh
from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, יהוה
comes with His myriads of set-apart ones, (Jude 1:15)
to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning
all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all
the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.”
(Jude 1:16)
These
are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts, and their
mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of gain.
(Jude 1:17)
But you, beloved ones, remember the words spoken before by the
emissaries of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Jude 1:18) because they told you that there would be
mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts. (Jude 1:19) These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the
Spirit. (Jude 1:20) But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your
most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart Spirit, (Jude 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim,
looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע
Messiah unto everlasting life.
When hasatan inhabits the anti-messiah the last 42 months (The Great
Tribulation) we (who are born again and keep His commandments) are protected in
the wilderness!
(Revelation 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he had been
thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Revelation 12:14)
And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness
to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time,
from the presence of the serpent.
Note the swallowing of the flood (Which
are rebellious people doing evil against us) is like Korah’s rebellion!
(Revelation 12:15) And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water
like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Revelation 12:16)
And the earth helped the woman, and the
earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river (people-flood) which the dragon had
spewed out of his mouth.
Note who hasatan makes war against- not Judah or many fast asleep
Christians- but those of the believers who have the testimony of Yahshua
(born again spiritually) and keep His Commandments.
(Revelation 12:17) And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the
commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.
My
prayer for you Loved One- is that you and ALL your loved ones guard the
commands of YHWH and possess the testimony of Yahshua the Messiah. That you
HEAR and OBEY Yahshua- our Chief Shepherd, and escape and endure the enemy;
producing much fruit that glorifies our Father! Hallelu-YAH! Please understand the seasons we
are in loved one; (Mark 13:8) “For nation (ethnos-race) shall rise against nation
(ethnos-race), and reign against reign. And there shall be earthquakes in
various places, and there shall be scarcities of food, and disturbances. These
are the beginnings of birth-pains. (Mark 13:9) “But take heed to yourselves, for they shall
deliver you up to councils and to congregations. You shall be beaten, and you
shall be brought before rulers and sovereigns for my sake, for a witness to
them. (Mark 13:10) “And the Good News has to be proclaimed first
to all the nations. (Mark 13:11) “And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not
worry beforehand what you are to say. But whatever is given you in that hour,
speak that, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Set-apart Spirit. Lastly
my prayer is that you recognize and understand the Seasons of Distress we are
in and you and your loved ones have wisdom from Heaven- that you and your loved
ones escape and endure and STAND AT HIS APPEARING! Thanks
much for your thoughtful prayer intercession for us and may YHWH bless you back
100 fold! We thank you from the core of our being.
Shalom to your home Loved One,

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

parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s

‘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
