Shabbat
Shalom Loved One!
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!
On this website are decrees for scripture memorization like my
cousin and sister Beckie and Linda have done. Click here for some scripture memory DECREES and click here for DAILY CONFESSIONS for us.
Shalom Loved One- seems Pope Gregory’s
calendar year is nearly finished again and time continues to fly by for us. As
we contemplate and think on our times ahead with our Heavenly Father; one
things seems to overwhelm my thoughts and spirit; the need for REPENTANCE. Most
of us don’t believe there is even need for repentance- perhaps we are not in
major sin; however, just like the forefathers of our faith- we may be deceived.
If we are comparing ourselves with others- we are not wise. Remember with me
that we are likely the last generation before Messiah comes- namely the
Laodicean- lazy compromised believers, especially if we fit in okay with what
the Bible calls sin and the compromised watered down church system. Remember
also that BEFORE Yahshua comes back that Elijah will come first. As compared to
Elijah, John the Baptist- which his name Yahchanan (John) means Yah’s mercy in Hebrew and his sole message was “REPENT”.
I expect we need this opportunity to do likewise before His second coming. Let’s
truly examine ourselves before we expect His communion- (Fellowship) because this time He comes as a Lion with a rod of
iron to judge His people first- then the rest of Planet Earth. I want to
encourage each of us to look at our own lives, thoughts, words and actions…and
get right with our KING.
1
Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that
bread and drink of that cup. 1 Corinthians 11:29
For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to
himself, not discerning the body of the Master. 1
Corinthians 11:30 Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and
many sleep (Die). 1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we were to
examine ourselves, we would not be judged. 1
Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the
Master, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Many, if not most of us, are aware of the
real and present possibility that we are nearing serious troubles. We see so
much wickedness with “O” and desired gun control- inviting muslim “refugees” in
worldwide, the UN building a vast army to control world governments, financial catastrophe
possibilities looming and some say inevitable. It seems that pure evil is being
loosed on the planet- easily recognizable to those who are sober and alert- and
about our Father’s business- but to many who are sound asleep- all is well.
Sure reminds us of Noah’s Ark day when the Nephilim (Fallen angels) had corrupted
the earth with impregnating women and created Giants like Goliath as offspring-
increasing wickedness and evil…so we are living in the days of wickedness- just
like Yahshua promised us it would be---
Matthew 24:37 “And as the days of
Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be. Matthew 24:38 “For as they were in
the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, Matthew 24:39 and they did not know until the flood came and took them all
away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
Genesis 6:1 And
it came to be, when men began to increase on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born to them, Genesis 6:2 that the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of
men, that they were good. And they took wives for themselves of all whom they
chose. Genesis 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his going
astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those
days, and also afterward, when the sons of Elohim (Fallen angels who disobeyed) came in to the daughters of men and
they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, the men
of name. Genesis 6:5 And יהוה
saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:6 And יהוה
was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:7 And יהוה
said, “I am going to wipe off man whom I have created from the face of the
earth, man and beast, creeping creature and birds of the heavens, for I am
sorry that I have made them.” Genesis 6:8 But
Noaḥ found favor in the eyes of יהוה.
Genesis 7:21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth
– birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the
earth, and all mankind. Genesis 7:22 All in
whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry
land, died. Genesis 7:23 So He wiped off all
that stand, which were on the face of the ground – man and beast, creeping
creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth. And
only Noaḥ was left and those with him in the ark.
Now
we come to today- the near beginning of 2016 and we must ask the tough questions
and answer them. Are we in the days of fast increasing wickedness, where all
manner of evil is acceptable? Are we among those who will make ourselves ready
to be a bride without spot or blemish?
Just
now the world financial system can either be repaired or collapsed- depending
on the plans and desires of wicked men who control the earth. Or do they always
get their way? NOPE! Only Yahweh or
Yahuah if you prefer will determine His plans and Seasons- MOEDIM- or
appointments with His people. Just now, I suspect (Certainly praying and hoping) that we will get a short reprieve of
likely a few months or years if we are aware of His Global Reset where the
wealth (Or some of it temporarily) is
transferred to the righteous for doing righteous acts for the last days harvest
and the places in THE WILDERNESS assigned worldwide- I believe. Loved Ones, we
shall soon see! The global reset will reset values of all the currencies of the
world to a form of partially asset backed and allow greater control worldwide
of Trade (TPP) and Finance. This is
based on the G20 agreement prepared for this day many years ago.
Let’s memorize
some Scriptures (I have again attached Psalm 91 and others) and speak them over
ourselves and our loved ones! I encourage you to do that as now is the time--- We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! FEAR NOT!
Here’s the plan-
and His promise and warning.
Deuteronomy 8:11 “Be on
guard, lest you forget יהוה your Elohim by
not guarding His commands, and His right-rulings, and His laws which I command
you today, Deuteronomy 8:12
lest you eat and shall be satisfied, and build lovely houses and shall
dwell in them, Deuteronomy 8:13 and your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and your gold are increased, and all that you have is
increased, Deuteronomy 8:14 that your heart then becomes lifted up, and
you forget יהוה your Elohim who brought you out of the
land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage, Deuteronomy
8:15 who led you through that
great and awesome wilderness – fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst – where
there was no water, who brought water for you out of the flinty rock, Deuteronomy 8:16
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not
know, in order to humble you and to try you, to do you good in the end,
Deuteronomy 8:17 you then shall say in your heart, ‘My power and the
strength of my hand have made for me this wealth!’ Deuteronomy 8:18
“But you shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, in
order to establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today.
Deuteronomy 8:19 “And it shall be, if you by any
means forget יהוה your
Elohim,
and follow other mighty ones, and serve them and bow yourself to them, I have
warned you this day that you shall certainly perish.
Deuteronomy 8:20 “Like the nations which יהוה is destroying before you, so you are to
perish, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה
your Elohim.
If
Days like Noah saw are here we need to REPENT- TESHUVA- turn around!
Let’s look
closer at the last 42 months called the DAYS of DISTRESS or the GREAT TRIBULATION.
Consider the prophet Jeremiah’s warning to us that there will be much we must
now repent of (This agrees with Yahshua comparing John the Baptist (Who taught
REPENT!) to Elijah which must come first before the Great and Terrible Day of
Yahweh- Yahuah):
(Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my
refuge in the Day of Affliction, (Day of the Lord or Judgment Day at a future
day most likely in our day and very soon) the Gentiles (Scattered sheep of Israel as you could not
distinguish us from the pagans and heathen because we kept all the pagan feasts
and just renamed them to say we are now glorifying our Elohim with them)
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.
Some of us in the past may have believed that
believers get “raptured” before any trouble starts which is untrue- the
changing in the twinkling of an eye happens at the LAST TRUMP- and
knowing the Moedim (Appointments or
Feasts- Holy Days set by YHWH) or shadow pictures of what is to come- which
are the very appointments YHWH has set; we know Hebraically that there are only
10 days left in the Great Tribulation at the point of the Last Trump (Feast of Trumpets which is the Hebrew
idiom object of “no man knows the day or hour”) before Judgment Day or also
called the Day of Atonement for us who have repented and received atonement
from Yahshua. Some of us have also been taught that we are gone and that the
Great Tribulation is only for the Jews. Sorry, that’s untrue also; it is JACOB’S
TROUBLE; which if we are grafted in believers as followers of Messiah Yahshua (Jesus) then we are part of the heirs of
the promises of Abraham and are part of the 12 sons’ tribes called Israel or
Jacob.
Most of us realize that the letter “J” was
the most recent letter added to the English language, sometime around the late
1500’s or early 1600’s. Most of us know the English rendition of HalleluYAH is
still pronounced Yah. (Spelled in
English- Hallelujah) Yah is the
shortened form of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (Name of Elohim our Creator) YHWH for the sound of Yahweh or Yahuway, Yahuah. Most of us
believe that we are not yet in the
Great Tribulation which is only 42 months because it is time, times, and a half
time or 1 year plus 2 years plus ½ year as Daniel stated. (The 7 years is likened to the 7 years each of famine/good that Joseph
was a shadow picture by gathering the 12 brothers as likened to Yahshua coming
for us- the lost sheep of Israel; gathered to Yahshua by the process of being
“Born Again”) The 7 years of good years and the last 7 years of bad years
we are now likely in the midst of. We are NOT YET in the final 31/2 years of
Great Tribulation due to this Scripture promise which guarantees a great
falling away and the man of lawlessness
(breaking YHWH’S laws) or the son of perdition, the anti-messiah or
anti-christ which will command us to worship him and the false prophet
which will agree with him- (Head of the
world religion which will likely be the last Pope) This man (Anti-messiah) must be revealed (not speculation) first before
the Great Tribulation starts- but I suspect we are very close and my
expectation is that this beginning could occur any time before Passover 2017-
which yes, that leaves my expectation for the times of the
wilderness where we will be cared for a time, times and half time or
3 ½ years before the Last Trump; which I perceive leaves only the days between
the last feast of trumpets and Yom Kippur or Atonement which as a restatement happens
the 7-8 days between Feast of Trumpets (Last
Trump) and Judgment Day or Atonement---this leave s the opportunity for the 7
bowls of Yahweh’s WRATH to be poured out on those receiving His WRATH. The
Seals and Trumpets mentioned in Revelation are not His wraith- totally a
different word used to describe wrath. (This
is a possibility only- NOT thus says
YHWH!) which fits perfectly with the fig tree (Israel) budding in 1947 (Nov 29) and even if you use 1948; and Yahshua said that when the fig tree (Israel) budded- THAT generation (I believe
that a Biblical generation is 70 years) would NOT pass away until it was
all fulfilled. AND WE WOULD SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS. What things?—great turmoil,
waves roaring, heavens shaken etc.
Let’s look at why we can be assured the Great
Tribulation has NOT YET started: 2
Thessalonians 2:1 As to the
coming of our Master יהושע Messiah and our gathering together to Him,
we ask you, brothers, 2 Thessalonians 2:2 not
to become easily unsettled in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or
by letter, as if from us, as if the day of יהוה
has come. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 As
to the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah and
our gathering together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 2 Thessalonians 2:2 not to become easily unsettled in mind or
troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as if the
day of יהוה has come.
2 Thessalonians
2:3 let no one deceive you in any way,
because the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness 1
is to be revealed, the son of destruction, Footnote: 1Some texts
read sin instead of lawlessness. This man might be the same one we read of in
the prophecy in Isaiah. 14:12 – Hĕlĕl (“Heileil”), meaning “the shining one,”
the sovereign of Baḇel. 2 Thessalonians 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself
above all that is called Elohim or that is worshipped, so that he sits as
Elohim in the Dwelling Place of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim. 2 Thessalonians 2:5 Do you not remember that I told
you this while I was still with you? 2 Thessalonians
2:6 And now you know what restrains, for him to be revealed in his time. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the secret of lawlessness is
already at work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall
consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation
of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 the coming
of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power
and signs and wonders of falsehood, 2 Thessalonians
2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because
they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and for
this reason Elohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the
falsehood, 1 Footnote: 1 Ezekiel
20:25, John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Romans 1:24-28. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that all should be
judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the
unrighteousness.
Truth searcher; if we find ourselves
anxious seeing today’s world events; perhaps we need to spend more time in the
Scriptures getting to know our loving Creator more intimately; He 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- Our eyes are focused on Him! (Philippians
4:6)
Do not worry (or 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 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.
And…Proverbs
23:7 For as he (A man) thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he
says to you, but his heart is not with you.
Remember
with me that faith without action is still faith but dead and can produce no
fruit and likened to the body without the spirit man in it. It is still faith
but can produce NOTHING as the body will return to the dirt from which it came
and also produce NOTHING! (James
2:23)
And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham
believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was
called, “Elohim’s friend.” (James 2:24) You see, then, that a man is declared right
by works, and not by belief alone. (James 2:25) In the same way, was not Raḥaḇ the whore
also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out
another way? (James 2:26) For
as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief (faith trust) is dead without the works.
Recently I have
become aware of some more probable uses of the endless spraying of chemicals in
our skies. (In addition to the obvious
sickness and diseases) Most of you know that have done any investigation,
that they (chemtrails sprayed nightly
nearly worldwide) are filled with NANO PARTICLES (so small it enters your skin and blood stream upon contact)
particles of aluminum, barium, strontium, uranium, (heavy metals with the ability to carry radioactive isotopes).
Added to this array of poisons are bacteria (morgellans
and unknown diseases), fungus, and molds. Now here is what I have recently
been told by a trusted source. These radioactive isotopes allow you to tracked
and found anywhere, but even more important is they will be able to attract you
in a “feeling” way- much like a magnet. When project BLUEBEAM with lifelike holograms is used portraying the
Messiah or “God” speaking from the heavens- many will believe and FALL AWAY
from the TRUTH. They indeed will be able to “feel” a connection. Obviously,
colonics and chelation that flush and cleanse the body from these metals and
poisons will be very important indeed. The Body of Messiah must awake from her
slumber because the DAY is far spent. I realize as my dear friend Reg
in South Africa said (I’m paraphrasing),
we do what we know to do and as we are led, but it is not likely we will HEAR
from Heaven always so clearly about every small step we must take. “We should be led by His peace, but He did give us a brain and He
expects us to use it, otherwise He would have only given us EARS!” I smile when I remember this conversation
with him because he has a heart of gold and is a master with words- and he has
the unusual ability to cut the chase and bluntly tell you truth!
We are and must be framing our world by HIS
spoken word! NOT FACTS .
(Psalm 119:89) LAMED.
Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Once again;
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. blue Very soon
there may be a “False flag” of sorts where we may see massive earthquakes,
possible financial collapse I just mentioned, fallen demonic alien looking
beings and spacecraft claiming they know Yahshua etc.; possibly a hologram by project blue beam
(You may want to Google these programs) showing Yahshua speaking lies to us
confirming the anti-messiah as the true 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.” (Comment: I
believe this is how Project Bluebeam holograms will be used to deceive many-
with voices and faces along with spaceships, aliens- demonic realms etc.) (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 “fleeing” 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 Yerushalayim
1. 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.
(1John 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. (1John 2:5) But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has
been perfected 1 in him. By this we know that we are in Him.2 Footnotes: 1
Genesis 17:1, Psalm 119:1, and Matthew 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1John 2:6) The one who
says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
Are we willing (yet) to die to ourselves and live
in Him? It’s our call now…
(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 must become LESS that He may become MORE of us! We get to choose for ourselves. 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
not OUR customs be worthless and rejected before Yahshua!
How
important is fleeing worthless traditions? Yahshua (Jesus) answers in our face
so to speak- He never went against His Father- that would make Him
disobedient and a sinner- He is the word, was the word, and will forever be the
word- (Yes even at Mt Sinai) Let’s not be those who worship in VAIN!
Transgressing
the traditions we inherited…
(Matthew 15:2) “Why do your taught ones transgress the
tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when
they eat bread.” (Matthew 15:3) But He answering said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Elohim1
because of your tradition? Footnote: 1 See Matthew. 5:20. (Matthew 15:4) “Elohim has
commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses
father or mother, let him be put to death.’ (Matthew
15:5) “But
you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have
received from me has been dedicated,” (Matthew
15:6) is
certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So you have nullified
the command of Elohim by your tradition. (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 (Doctrines) the commands of
men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah
29:13, Mark. 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
(Comment: vain definition is useless, worthless, pointless, barren,
fruitless- of NO value for those who believe the “LAW” is done away with
consider this warning from Proverbs:
(Proverbs 28:9) He who
turns away his ear from hearing the Torah (Law),
Even his prayer is an abomination1. Footnote: 1 See also 15:29, Isaiah 59:1-2, John
9:31, 1 John 3:22.)
More information from Wikipedia: Although probably the best-known
Roman holiday, Saturnalia as
a whole is not described from beginning to end in any single ancient source.
Modern understanding of the festival is pieced together from several accounts
dealing with various aspects.[4] The Saturnalia was the dramatic setting of the
multivolume work of that name by Macrobius, a Latin writer from late antiquity who is the major source for the holiday. In one
of the interpretations in Macrobius's work, Saturnalia is a festival of light
leading to the winter
solstice, with the
abundant presence of candles symbolizing the quest for knowledge and truth.[5] The renewal of light and the coming of the New Year was celebrated in the later Roman Empire at the Dies Natalis of Sol Invictus, the "Birthday of the Unconquerable
Sun," on December 25.[6] The
popularity of Saturnalia continued into the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, and as
the Roman Empire came under Christian rule, some of its
customs (may??) have influenced the seasonal celebrations
surrounding Christmas and the New Year.[7]
Many of us now know that the
Christmas tree spoken about below in Jeremiah 10 was the worship of the sun god
often called Saturnalia on December 17-23rd now as Christmas on
December 25th. This was the winter solstice worship of the sun god before
the procession of the equinox which gradually became December 21st.
This was considered the manhood of the sun god. The gold and silver balls were
his—umm; I’ll let you figure that one out. No wonder He commanded us to NOT
LEARN the ways of the heathens and follow after their traditions. So today
people somehow have believed that this has now become a way to worship YHWH! Surely
we don’t think this is OK because this is what it means to us? I expect we should really consider what it means to YHWH as it is He we
will stand in front of and be judged! It is now time to repent!
(Revelation 18:1) And after this I saw another messenger coming
down from the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from
his esteem. (Revelation 18:2) And he cried with a mighty voice, saying,
“Baḇel the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a
dwelling place of demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for
every unclean and hated bird, (Revelation 18:3)
because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her whoring, and
the sovereigns of the earth have committed whoring with her, and the merchants
of the earth have become rich through the power of her riotous living.” (Revelation 18:4)
And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and
lest you receive of her plagues.1 Footnote: 1 Jeremiah
51:6 & 45. (Revelation 18:5) “Because her sins have piled up to reach the
heaven, and Elohim has remembered her unrighteousnesses. (Revelation 18:6)
“Render to her as she indeed did render, and repay her double according
to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double. (Revelation 18:7)
“As much as she esteemed herself and lived riotously, so much torture
and grief give to her, because in her heart she says, ‘I sit as sovereigness,
and I am not a widow, and I do not see mourning at all.’ (Revelation 18:8)
“Because of this her plagues shall come in one day: death and mourning
and scarcity of food. And she shall be burned up with fire, because יהוה Elohim who judges her is mighty.
Why is it vain to worship Him NOT according to how He
prescribes? Some of us thought we could worship like we thought was best or
how our fathers of the faith taught us- hmm- perhaps we are of those that
INHERITED LIES- Below He reminds us: obedience brings His miracles-
(This is written to us- the scattered sheep of
Israel that Yahshua came to restore; US- you and I who are bought by the blood
of the LAMB!)
Again, perhaps we have need of repentance; (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my
refuge in the day of affliction, (Day of the Lord or Judgment Day at a future
day most likely in our day and very soon) the Gentiles (Scattered sheep of Israel as you could not
distinguish us from the pagans and heathen) 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.
Here is a foundation Scripture that Yahshua never went
against- He NEVER disobeyed His Father- He only did what He saw His Father do
and spoke what His Father spoke. That’s what mankind seems to do- get religion and
start changing what He said; by adding to and taking away from what He said-
this would include adding holidays (holy set apart days) that He never
commanded and refusing to keep those holidays- set apart days- He does command!
(Deuteronomy 4:1) “And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and
the right-rulings which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go
in and possess the land which יהוה Elohim of your
fathers is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do
not take away from it 1, 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. (Deuteronomy 4:3) “Your eyes have seen what יהוה did at Baʽal Peʽor, for יהוה
your Elohim has destroyed from your midst all the men who followed Baʽal Peʽor.
(Deuteronomy 4:4) “But you who are clinging to יהוה your Elohim are alive today, every one of you. (Deuteronomy 4:5)
“See, I have taught you laws and right-rulings, as יהוה my Elohim commanded me, to do thus
in the land which you go to possess. (Deuteronomy 4:6) “And you shall guard and do them, for this is
your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all
these laws, and they shall say; ‘Only a wise and understanding people are this
great nation!’ (Deuteronomy 4:7) “For what great nation is there which has
Elohim so near to it, as יהוה our Elohim is to us,
whenever we call on Him? (Deuteronomy 4:8) “And what great nation is there that has such
laws and righteous right-rulings like all this Torah which I set before you
this day? (Deuteronomy 4:9) “Only, guard yourself, and guard your life
diligently, lest you forget the Words your eyes have seen, and lest they turn
aside from your heart all the days of your life. And you shall make them known
to your children and your grandchildren.
Our tongue will direct our lives; IF we
remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to our
guaranteed destruction! If we submit to His commands and
words- we gain His SHALOM as He directs us, protects us, and provides for us!
What are we speaking? What we
speak will determine our results of our efforts. We must plant good
seeds with our words; and guard against speaking the facts.
Facts may seem true, but they are not the TRUTH if they disagree with what YHWH
has spoken about us and His promises to us! (2 Corinthians 4:18) We are not looking on what
is seen, but on what is not seen. For what is seen
passes away (temporary-temporal),
but what is not seen (the promise of Scripture you are standing upon and SPEAKING!) is everlasting.1 Footnote: 1 See
5:7, and Romans 8:24, Hebrews 11:1 & 13. This agrees with what
Yahshua says; that our words are spirit- if we agree with Him our words bring -
if we agree with the facts and continue to speak our woes and dilemmas- we
establish them against ourselves to hasatan’s glee! (John 6:63) It is the spirit that
gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are
spirit, and life. (John 6:64) But there are some of
you that believe not. For Yahshua (Jesus)
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that
should betray him.
Let’s memorize some Scriptures (I have again
attached Psalm 91 and others) and speak them over ourselves and our loved ones!
I encourage you to do that as now is the time--- We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! FEAR NOT!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Hukkat “Ordinance”
Numbers 19:1-22:1; Judges 11:1-33; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 (Extended)
Hey- we also should keep our temples clean- whose Temples we are!
(Numbers 19:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 19:2) “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which
there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come. (Numbers 19:3) ‘And you
shall give it to Elʽazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp,
and shall slaughter it before him. (Numbers 19:4) ‘And Elʽazar the priest shall take some of
its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward
the front of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 19:5) ‘And the heifer shall be burned before his
eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung. (Numbers 19:6)
‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw
them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer. (Numbers
19:7) ‘The priest shall then wash
his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the
camp, but the priest is unclean until evening. (Numbers
19:8) ‘And he who is burning it
washes his garments in water, and shall bathe his body in water, and is unclean
until evening. (Numbers 19:9) ‘And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of
the heifer, and shall place them outside the camp in a clean place. And they
shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl for the water
for uncleanness, it is for cleansing from sin. (Numbers
19:10) ‘And he who gathers the
ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and is unclean until evening. And
it shall be a law forever to the children of Yisra’ĕl and to the stranger who
sojourns in their midst. (Numbers 19:11) ‘He who touches the dead of any human being
is unclean for seven days. (Numbers 19:12) ‘He is to cleanse himself with the water on
the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean. But if he does not cleanse
himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
(Numbers 19:13) ‘Anyone who touches the dead of a human
being, and does not cleanse himself, defiles the Dwelling Place of יהוה; that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl. He is unclean, for
the water for uncleanness was not sprinkled on him, his uncleanness is still
upon him. (Numbers 19:14) ‘This is the Torah when a man dies in a tent:
All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent are unclean for seven
days, (Numbers 19:15) and every open vessel
which has no cover fastened on it is unclean. (Numbers
19:16) ‘Anyone in the open field
who touches someone slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a
grave, is unclean for seven days. (Numbers 19:17) ‘And for the unclean being they shall take
some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for cleansing from sin, and running water
shall be put on them in a vessel. (Numbers 19:18) ‘And a clean man shall take hyssop and dip it
in the water, and shall sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on
the beings who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, or the slain, or
the dead, or a grave. (Numbers 19:19) ‘And the clean one shall sprinkle the unclean
on the third day and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall
cleanse himself, and shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and shall be
clean in the evening. (Numbers 19:20) ‘But
the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, that being shall be cut
off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the set-apart place of יהוה – water for uncleanness has not been sprinkled on him, he is
unclean. (Numbers 19:21) ‘And it shall be a law for them forever. And
the one who sprinkles the water for uncleanness washes his garments. And the
one who touches the water for uncleanness is unclean until evening. (Numbers 19:22)
‘And whatever the unclean being touches is unclean. And the being that
touches it is unclean until evening.’ ”
Do we
contend with Moses also? Note the humbleness of Moses and
Aaron- rather than strike back with a curse for a curse- they intercede on
their faces for those speaking against them and YHWH!
(Numbers 20:1) the
children of Yisra’ĕl, all the congregation, came into the Wilderness of Tsin in
the first month, and the people stayed in Qaḏĕsh.
And Miryam died there and was buried there. (Numbers
20:2) Now there was no water for
the congregation and they assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon. (Numbers 20:3)
And the people contended with Mosheh and spoke, saying, “If only we had
died when our brothers died before יהוה! (Numbers 20:4)
“Why have you brought up the assembly of יהוה
into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? (Numbers 20:5)
“And why have you brought us up out of Mitsrayim, to bring us to this
evil place? – not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there
is no water to drink.” (Numbers 20:6) Then
Mosheh and Aharon went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the
Tent of Meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the esteem of יהוה appeared to them.
Please realize the
“ROCK” represents Yahshua and can no longer be struck but spoken to! Here Moses
makes a fatal error in his anger and frustration—we fight the good fight of FAITH and TRUST by what we
SPEAK! (2
Corinthians 4:13) But having the same spirit of belief,
according to what has been written, “I
believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,
(2 Corinthians 4:14) knowing that He who raised up the Master יהושע shall also raise us up through יהושע,
and shall present us with you. (1Ti
6:11)
But you, O man of Elohim, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness,
reverence, belief, love, endurance, meekness. (1Ti
6:12) Fight the good fight of the
belief (faith-trust), lay hold on everlasting life, to which you were also
called and have confessed the good confession
before many witnesses. A
“good confession” is what we SPEAK! Disagreeing with YHWH allows
judgment and the enemy of our souls to attack us for our agreement with the
enemy. Note Aaron’s payment is with his life.
(Numbers 20:7) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 20:8) “Take the rod and assemble the
congregation, you and your brother Aharon. And you shall speak
to the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water. And you
shall bring water for them out of the rock and give drink to the congregation
and their livestock.” (Numbers 20:9) And Mosheh took the rod from before יהוה as He commanded him. (Numbers 20:10)
And Mosheh and Aharon assembled the assembly before the rock. And he
said to them, “Hear now, you rebels, shall we bring water for you out of this
rock?” (Numbers 20:11) Then Mosheh lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod. And much water
came out, and the congregation and their livestock drank. (Numbers 20:12)
But יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, “Because you did not believe me,
to set me apart in the eyes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, therefore you do not
bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:13)
These were the waters of Meriḇah, because the children of Yisra’ĕl
contended with יהוה, and He was set apart
among them. (Numbers 20:14) And Mosheh sent messengers from Qaḏĕsh to
the sovereign of Eḏom. “This is what your brother Yisra’ĕl said, ‘you know all
the hardship that has befallen us, (Numbers 20:15)
that our fathers went down to Mitsrayim, and we dwelt in Mitsrayim a long time,
and the Mitsrites did evil to us and our fathers. (Numbers
20:16) ‘And we cried out to יהוה, and He heard our voice and sent the
Messenger and brought us up out of Mitsrayim. And see, we are in Qaḏĕsh, a
city on the edge of your border. (Numbers 20:17) ‘Please let us pass over, through your land.
We shall not pass over through fields or vineyards, nor drink water from wells;
we shall go along the sovereign’s highway. We shall not turn aside, right or
left, until we have passed over your border.’ ” (Numbers
20:18) But Eḏom said to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I
come out against you with the sword.” (Numbers 20:19) And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to him, “We
shall go by the highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then
I shall pay for it. Let me only pass over on foot, without a word.” (Numbers 20:20)
But he said, “You do not pass over.” And Eḏom came out against them
with many men and with a strong hand. (Numbers 20:21) So when Eḏom refused to let Yisra’ĕl pass
over through his border, Yisra’ĕl turned away from him. (Numbers 20:22) And the
children of Yisra’ĕl, all the company, departed from Qaḏĕsh and came to Mount
Hor. (Numbers 20:23) and יהוה
spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in Mount Hor near the border of the land of
Eḏom, saying, (Numbers 20:24) “Aharon is to be gathered to his people, for he is not to enter the
land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl, because you rebelled
against my mouth at the water of Meriḇah. (Numbers 20:25)
“Take Aharon and Elʽazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor, (Numbers 20:26)
and strip Aharon of his garments and put them on Elʽazar his son, for
Aharon is to be gathered to his people and die there.” (Numbers
20:27) And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor
before the eyes of the entire congregation. (Numbers
20:28) And Mosheh stripped Aharon
of his garments and put them on Elʽazar his son. And Aharon died there on the
top of the mountain. And Mosheh and Elʽazar came down from the mountain. (Numbers 20:29)
And when the entire congregation saw that Aharon was dead, all the house
of Yisra’ĕl wept for Aharon, thirty days.
Remember the
promise in Deuteronomy- IF we obey Him what people are there that YHWH listens
to? He will hear us and destroy our enemies? Let’s agree and
DO His words! Judgment (fiery serpents) is guaranteed on us if we do not obey
Him!
(Deuteronomy 4:7) “For what great nation is there
which has Elohim so near to it, as יהוה
our Elohim is to us, whenever we call
on Him? (Deuteronomy 4:8) “And what great nation is there that has such
laws and righteous right-rulings like all this Torah which I set before you
this day? (Deuteronomy 4:9) “Only, guard yourself, and guard your life
diligently, lest you forget the Words your eyes
have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all the days of your life.
(Numbers 21:1) And the sovereign of Araḏ,
the Kenaʽanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Yisra’ĕl was coming on the
way to Atharim, and he fought against Yisra’ĕl and took some of them captive. (Numbers 21:2)
Then Yisra’ĕl made a vow to יהוה, and said, “If you deliver this people into my hand
indeed, then I shall put their cities under the ban.” (Numbers 21:3)
And יהוה listened to the voice of Yisra’ĕl and gave up the Kenaʽanites, and they put them and their
cities under the ban. So the name of that place was called Ḥormah. (Numbers 21:4)
And they departed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Sea of Reeds, to go
around the land of Eḏom. But the being of the people grew impatient because of
the way. (Numbers 21:5) And the people spoke against Elohim and
against Mosheh, “Why have you brought us up out of Mitsrayim to die in the
wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our being loathes this light
bread.” (Numbers 21:6) And יהוה
sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the
people of Yisra’ĕl died. (Numbers 21:7) Then the people came to Mosheh, and said, “We
have sinned, for we have spoken against יהוה
and against you. Pray to יהוה to take away the
serpents from us.” So Mosheh prayed on behalf of the people. (Numbers 21:8)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Make a fiery serpent, and
set it on a pole. And it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at
it, shall live.” (Numbers 21:9) So Mosheh made a bronze serpent, and put it
on a pole. And it came to be, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at
the bronze serpent, he lived. (Numbers 21:10) And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out and
camped in Oḇoth. (Numbers 21:11) And they departed from Oḇoth and camped at
Iyĕ Ha-Aḇarim, in the wilderness which is east of Mo’aḇ, toward sunrise. (Numbers 21:12)
>From there they set out and camped at the wadi Zereḏ. (Numbers 21:13)
>From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which
is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites, for the
Arnon is the border of Mo’aḇ, between Mo’aḇ and the Amorites. (Numbers 21:14)
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Battles of יהוה, “Wahĕḇ in Suphah, the wadi Arnon, (Numbers
21:15) and the slope of the wadi that turns aside to the dwelling of Ar,
and lies on the border of Mo’aḇ.” (Numbers 21:16) And from there on to Be’ĕr, which is the well
where יהוה said to Mosheh, “Gather the people, and
let me give them water.” (Numbers 21:17) Yisra’ĕl then sang this song: “Spring up, O
well! Sing to it, (Numbers 21:18) a well the
leaders sank, which the nobles of the people dug with their staves, by the
word of the Law-giver.” Then from the wilderness on to Mattanah, (Numbers 21:19) from Mattanah to Naḥali’ĕl, from
Naḥali’ĕl to Bamoth, (Numbers 21:20) and from
Bamoth, in the valley that is in the country of Mo’aḇ, to the top of Pisgah
which looks down on the wasteland. (Numbers 21:21) And Yisra’ĕl sent messengers to Siḥon
sovereign of the Amorites, saying, (Numbers 21:22)
“Let me pass through your
land. We shall not turn off into fields or vineyards; we shall not drink water
from wells, but go by the sovereign’s highway until we have passed over your
border.” (Numbers 21:23) But Siḥon would not allow Yisra’ĕl to pass
through his border. So Siḥon gathered all his people together and went out
against Yisra’ĕl in the wilderness, and he came to Yahats and fought against
Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 21:24) And Yisra’ĕl smote him with the edge of the
sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Yabboq, as far as
the children of Ammon, for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. (Numbers 21:25)
And Yisra’ĕl took all these cities, and Yisra’ĕl dwelt in all the cities
of the Amorites – in Ḥeshbon and in all its villages, (Numbers
21:26) for Ḥeshbon was the city of Siḥon the sovereign of the
Amorites, who had fought against the former sovereign of Mo’aḇ, and had taken
all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon. (Numbers
21:27) That is why those who
speak in proverbs say, “Come to Ḥeshbon, let the city of Siḥon be built and
established. (Numbers 21:28) “For fire went out from Ḥeshbon, a flame
from the city of Siḥon. It consumed Ar of Mo’aḇ, the masters of the heights
of the Arnon. (Numbers 21:29) “Woe to you, Mo’aḇ! You have perished, O people of Kemosh! He has
given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Siḥon the
sovereign of the Amorites. (Numbers 21:30) “Then we shot them – Ḥeshbon has perished as
far as Diḇon. And we laid waste as far as Nophaḥ, which reaches to
Mĕyḏeḇa.” (Numbers 21:31) So Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the land of the
Amorites. (Numbers 21:32) And Mosheh sent to spy out Yaʽzĕr. And they
took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there, (Numbers 21:33) and turned and went up by the way to
Bashan. And Oḡ sovereign of Bashan went out against them, he and all his
people, to battle at Eḏreʽi. (Numbers 21:34) and
יהוה said to Mosheh, “Do not fear him,
for I have given him into your hand, with all his people and his land. And you
shall do to him as you did to Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, who dwelt at
Ḥeshbon.” (Numbers 21:35) And they smote him, and his sons, and all his
people, until no remnant was left to him. And they took possession of his land.
(Numbers 22:1) The
children of Yisra’ĕl set out and camped in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ
beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
Where we come from does not determine
our direction and YHWH’s plans for us!
Often
our hardships and obstacle develop us and our character. Why you may ask. We
run to YHWH when hasatan attack us- this brings us Yahshua’s victory and
shalom.
(Judges 11:1) And
Yiphtaḥ the Gilʽaḏite was a mighty brave one, but he was the
son of a whore. And Gilʽaḏ brought forth Yiphtaḥ. (Judges
11:2) And the wife of Gilʽaḏ
bore sons. And when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Yiphtaḥ out, and said
to him, “You shall not have an inheritance in the house of our father, for you
are the son of another woman.” (Judges 11:3) And Yiphtaḥ fled from his brothers and dwelt
in the land of Toḇ. And worthless men banded together with Yiphtaḥ and went
out with him. (Judges 11:4) And it came to be, sometime later, that the
children of Ammon fought against Yisra’ĕl. (Judges
11:5) And it came to be, when the
children of Ammon fought against Yisra’ĕl, that the elders of Gilʽaḏ went to
bring Yiphtaḥ out of the land of Toḇ. (Judges 11:6) And they said to Yiphtaḥ, “Come and you
shall be our commander, and let us fight against the children of Ammon.” (Judges 11:7)
But Yiphtaḥ said to the elders of Gilʽaḏ, “Did you not hate me, and
drive me from my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in
trouble?” (Judges 11:8) And the elders of Gilʽaḏ said to Yiphtaḥ,
“That is the reason we have turned to you, that you shall go with us and fight
against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of
Gilʽaḏ.” (Judges 11:9) And Yiphtaḥ said to the elders of Gilʽaḏ, “If you take me back home to
fight against the children of Ammon, and יהוה gives
them to me, am I to be your head?” (Judges 11:10)
And the elders of Gilʽaḏ said to Yiphtaḥ, “יהוה is witness between us, if we do not do
according to your words.” (Judges 11:11) Then Yiphtaḥ went with the elders of
Gilʽaḏ, and the people set him over them, as head and commander. And Yiphtaḥ
spoke all his words before יהוה in Mitspah. (Judges 11:12)
And Yiphtaḥ sent messengers to the sovereign of the children of Ammon, saying,
“What is between you and me that you have come to fight against me in my land?”
(Judges 11:13)
And the sovereign of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of
Yiphtaḥ, “Because Yisra’ĕl took my land when they came up out of Mitsrayim,
from the Arnon as far as the Yabboq, and to the Yardĕn. And now, give back
those lands in peace.” (Judges 11:14) But Yiphtaḥ again sent messengers to the
sovereign of the children of Ammon, (Judges 11:15)
and said to him, “This is what Yiphtaḥ said, ‘Yisra’ĕl did not take the land
of Mo’aḇ, nor the land of the children of Ammon. (Judges
11:16) ‘For when they came up
from Mitsrayim, and Yisra’ĕl walked through the wilderness as far as the Sea of
Reeds and came to Qaḏĕsh, (Judges 11:17) then Yisra’ĕl sent messengers to the
sovereign of Eḏom, saying, “Please let me pass over, through your land.” But
the sovereign of Eḏom would not listen. And they also sent to the sovereign of
Mo’aḇ, but he refused, so Yisra’ĕl stayed at Qaḏĕsh. (Judges
11:18) ‘Then they went through
the wilderness and around the land of Eḏom and the land of Mo’aḇ, and came to
the east side of the land of Mo’aḇ, and encamped beyond Arnon. But they did
not enter the border of Mo’aḇ, for Arnon was the border of Mo’aḇ. (Judges 11:19)
‘And Yisra’ĕl sent messengers to Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites,
sovereign of Ḥeshbon, and Yisra’ĕl said to him, “Please let us pass over,
through your land into our place.” (Judges 11:20) ‘But Siḥon did not trust Yisra’ĕl to pass
over through his border, and Siḥon gathered all his people together and they
encamped in Yahats, and fought against Yisra’ĕl. (Judges
11:21) ‘And יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl gave Siḥon and all his people into the hand
of Yisra’ĕl and they smote them. So Yisra’ĕl took possession of all the land of
the Amorites, the inhabitants of that land. (Judges
11:22) ‘Thus they took possession
of all the border of the Amorites, from Arnon to the Yabboq and from the
wilderness to the Yardĕn. (Judges 11:23) ‘And
now, יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl has driven out the
Amorites from before His people Yisra’ĕl, should you then possess it? (Judges 11:24)
‘Whatever Kemosh your mighty one gives you to possess, do you not
possess it? And all that which יהוה our Elohim takes
possession of before us, we possess. (Judges 11:25) ‘And now are you any better than Balaq son of
Tsippor, sovereign of Mo’aḇ? Did he ever strive against Yisra’ĕl? Did he ever
fight against them? (Judges 11:26) ‘While Yisra’ĕl dwelt in Ḥeshbon and its
villages, and in Aroʽĕr and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks
of Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that
time? (Judges 11:27) ‘So I have not sinned against you, but you are doing me evil by
fighting against me. Let יהוה the Judge, judge
today between the children of Yisra’ĕl and the children of Ammon.’ ” (Judges 11:28) But the sovereign of the children
of Ammon did not listen to the words which Yiphtaḥ sent him. (Judges 11:29)
And the Spirit of יהוה came upon Yiphtaḥ, and he passed through
Gilʽaḏ and Menashsheh, and passed through Mitspeh of Gilʽaḏ. And from Mitspeh
of Gilʽaḏ he passed on toward the children of Ammon. (Judges 11:30)
And Yiphtaḥ made a vow to יהוה,
and said, “If You give the children of Ammon into my hands, (Judges 11:31) then it shall be that whatever comes
out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the
children of Ammon, shall belong to יהוה,
and I shall offer it up as a burnt offering.” (Judges
11:32) Yiphtaḥ then passed on
toward the children of Ammon to fight against them, and יהוה
gave them into his hands. (Judges 11:33) And he smote them from Aroʽĕr as far as
Minnith, twenty cities, and to Aḇĕl Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the
children of Yisra’ĕl.
Walking
by the spirit (Words of promise) seems foolish
to those who walk by the facts or flesh realm- but to us who believe (walking
by faith and trust) - His words are the power to change the temporal facts and
overcome the adversary! His words are POWER to overcome!
(1 Corinthians 1:18) For the word of the stake is indeed foolishness to
those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
Elohim. (1 Corinthians 1:19) It has been written, “I shall destroy the
wisdom of the wise, and set aside the learning of the learned ones.”1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah
29:14, Matthew 11:25, Romans 1:22. (1 Corinthians 1:20)
Where is the wise? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this
age? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1 Corinthians 1:21)
Since, in the
wisdom of Elohim, the world through wisdom did not know Elohim, it pleased
Elohim through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
(1 Corinthians 1:22) And since Yehuḏim
ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, (1 Corinthians
1:23) yet we proclaim Messiah impaled, to the Yehuḏim a stumbling-block
and to the Greeks foolishness, (1 Corinthians 1:24)
but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
The foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim
is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:26) For look at your calling, brothers, that
there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble. (1 Corinthians 1:27) But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters
of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the
world to put to shame the strong. (1 Corinthians 1:28) And Elohim has chosen the low-born (yes even of a whore) of the world and
the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones
that are, (1 Corinthians 1:29) so that no flesh should boast in His presence. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
And of Him you are in Messiah יהושע, who became
for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and
redemption, (1 Corinthians 1:31) that, as it has
been written, “He who boasts, let him boast in יהוה.”
My prayer
for you loved one; and all your loved ones- is that you and I consider turning
our whole hearts and OBEYING Him- that we be willing to lose everything except
Him. The cost will likely be high in loss of stature, friends, family etc.; but
I pray we will be willing to COME OUT OF HER (Vain traditions) and NOT partake
of her plagues which will come upon her in one hour and burn her with fire. (Matthew 10:33) “But whoever
shall deny me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the
heavens. (Matthew 10:34) “Do not think that I
have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword, 1 Footnote: 1
In Luke. 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same
meaning here. (Matthew 10:35) for I have come to bring division, a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
(Matthew 10:36) and a
man’s enemies are those of his own household.1 Footnote: 1 Luke
12:53, Micah 7:6. (Matthew 10:37) “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me, and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.1 Footnote: 1
See 19:29, Luke. 14:26. (Matthew 10:38)
“And he who does
not take up his stake and follow after me is not worthy of me.
(Matthew 10:39) “He who has found his life shall lose it, and
he that has lost his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10:40) “He who receives you receives me, and he who
receives me receives Him who sent me.
I also pray
we change all of our boasting in ourselves to boasting in Him- His love, mercy,
and great power for us who believe! That we think on Him and His precious
promises and turn away from the facts and the apparent GIANTS (Those roadblocks
set to keep you from His promises) in the land! That we walk in kindness and
offer a blessing for a curse, and pray for those that do all manner of evil
against us- this is pleasing to the Father- that we produce much fruit that
remains! Also; that we speak agreement with His promises in spite of the
obvious facts. - I pray also that YOU PRAY AGREEMENT with us that we; you and
us- are made worthy to escape and endure and STAND at His appearing- unashamed!
Thanks again for taking a moment to pray for Billie
and me; first to gain His wisdom
and afterwards that He directs our footsteps and empowers us to produce fruit
that remains which glorifies our Father in Heaven! I know this prayer action
will be immediately returned to you- some 30, some 60, and some 100 fold!
Hallelu-YAH!
Shalom to your
home loved one,
Thurston
Continued
explanation of the 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 Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard
that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John
4:22.
