Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
Some
have asked why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the
mainstream and the Orthodox. I answer this question at the end of our study!
Last Shabbat at sundown
started what many of us believers believes is the Biblical New Year! Do we all
have to agree- CERTAINLY NOT! As promised, we will start our Torah Cycle over
again in the interest of our King restoring all things; happy new BIBLICAL
year- so next Shabbat at sundown will be Passover (Beginning night of April 4) by most reckonings!
Please note also
attached is the new ANNUAL TORAH CYCLE and a request for prayer for
understanding and interpretation given a dear sister and her husband who are
both Ruach filled, Torah Observant lovers of YHWH! Please pray and if called
fast and pray and see what you are shown—understanding what we are being told
about these two dates is of great import in my opinion. Click here to read about April 19th and November 19th and
share your understanding ASAP.
IF- we seek Him with
all our hearts- we will find Him- but who among us will submit---even our
tongues which are likened to a rudder on a ship or a bridle on a horse—the purpose
if for our GUIDING AND REDIRECTION
BY HIM!
This NEW YEAR brings
hope, obstacles, fiery trials and tests, testimonies, overcoming, and DESTINY!
We were born for this time purposely!
Jeremiah
29:11
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of
evil, to give you a future and expectancy (Hope). Jeremiah 29:12 ‘Then you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I shall
listen to you. Jeremiah 29:13 ‘And you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart 1.
Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 4:29, Joel 2:12.
Jeremiah 29:14 ‘And I shall be found by you,’
declares יהוה, ‘and I shall turn back your captivity,
and shall gather you from all the gentiles and from all the places where I have
driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring
you back to the place from which I have exiled you.’
Will we discover the plan and destiny YHWH has for us? Only if the eyes of our understanding are spiritually
opened! Think on these matters and SEEK HIM WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND! This is my
prayer for YOU loved one, please meditate on this and make yourself ready as
His BRIDE!
Ephesians
1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of your belief
(faith-trust) in the Master יהושע and your love
for all the set-apart ones, Ephesians 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers, Ephesians 1:17 that the
Elohim of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father
of esteem, would give you
a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Ephesians
1:18 the eyes of your understanding 1 being enlightened, so that you know what is the expectation (HOPE) of His calling, and what are the
riches of the esteem of His inheritance in the set-apart ones, Footnote: 1 Luke 24:45. Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward
us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty strength, Ephesians 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from
the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery,
and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to
come. Ephesians 1:22 And He put all
under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly, Ephesians 1:23 which is His body, the completeness of
Him who fills all in all.
BECOMING THE
BRIDE- we change! Since our Creator is perfect and changes not- Malachi 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not
change 1, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ,
shall not come to an end. Footnote: 1 James
1:17. Hebrews 13:8
יהושע Messiah is the
same yesterday, and today, and forever-that only leaves
us with the option of becoming more like Him and walking out our wonderful
destinies IF
we to die to our own ways to
become more like Him and become His Bride- OR- we will only wish we had. Not
everyone will you know. Not all who are born again will be the BRIDE—only those
that make themselves ready. WE do well to remember the foolish virgins- who did
not have enough oil for LIGHT- which is the Ruach HaKodesh. We must submit our
tongues as He alone can tame the tongue it is set on fire by Hell. We will and
must activate our prayer languages and PRAY as He has never missed a prayer
yet. We are not allowed laziness and rebellion concerning this- not at this
late hour. We must arise from our slumber as the day is far spent! Arise and
SHINE for our light has come and Kings will come to our brightness- NOW THAT’S
our destiny. We must start to pray in the Spirit for hours each day so that we
build up our most set apart faith- and walk in HIS LOVE! Remember to gain that
love is more important that how perfectly you do Torah or anything else. This
is how you will be “KNOWN” by Him! See how love is deposited by the Ruach HaKodesh
as we pray:
Jude
1:20 But you, beloved
ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief (Faith-trust),
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. Jude 1:22 And show
compassion toward some who are doubting, Jude 1:23
but others save with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating, even the garment defiled by the flesh.1 Footnote: 1 See Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 8:5-10
Note that we don’t think it strange to be in fiery trials
and tests- they are allowed that we may become OVERCOMERS and have His love
poured into us that we may walk in love- as Yahshua walked! They become our
testimonies- and we overcome by the blood of the LAMB and our TESTIMONIES!
Romans
5:1 Therefore, having been declared right by
belief, we have peace with Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah, Romans 5:2
through whom also we have access by belief into this favor in which we
stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim. Romans 5:3 And not only this, but we also exult in pressures
(trials tests), knowing that pressure
works endurance; Romans 5:4 and endurance,
approvedness; and approvedness, expectation. Romans
5:5 And expectation does not disappoint, because the love
of Elohim has been poured out in our hearts by the Set-apart Spirit
which was given to us.
YEP, time we start over and see what He shows us
“NEW” this year! Loved One, the road must be repeated. That is why it is a Torah
Cycle. (Comment: the cycle is likened to the ancient path
we are to return to; a path is often considered “a beaten path” due to
returning to it often) We must learn to seek YHWH for His love and compassion
to download to us; for others in our lives. Sometimes we only understand after
returning many times. We can read the Scriptures over and over and then out of
nowhere it seems, YHWH reveals new Truth to us!
I can remember telling Yahshua once that the job
description of the angelic beings (Seraphim)
flying around the Throne Room in Heaven and saying holy, holy is YHWH might get
boring after a few thousand years. Little did I understand; Heaven will be
anything but boring! Much less boring will be our assignments in the millennium
as we learn from our KING!
(Isaiah 6:1) In the year that Sovereign Uzziyah died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up,
and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal. (Temple) (Isaiah 6:2) Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two
he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (Isaiah 6:3) And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart,
set-apart is יהוה of
hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!” (Comment: Many versions
declare holy, holy is YHWH) (Isaiah 6:4) And the posts of
the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was
filled with smoke. (Isaiah 6:5) And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of
unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the sovereign, יהוה of hosts.” Then our loving King dropped
in my spirit that He reveals more of His glory to them which energizes and WOWS
them! (Comment: glory according to Moses’ report was a revealing of more
of His goodness and mercy) This creates an instant surge of joy and
enthusiasm in these angelic beings! In like manner He reveals to us as more of
Himself as we seek Him with all our hearts- it should also revive us- let’s get
excited about our coming King- because the DAY IS FAR SPENT!
Why is this so important? Obviously in fiery
trials and testing’s we sometimes feel abandoned and at our end. Some even
become hope-less. Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing
fulfilled is a tree of life. Without
hope we cannot possess belief or faith as that is the substance it is made of. We
must join ourselves to Him by getting in His presence and being restored-
regularly! (Romans 5:1) Therefore, having been justified by
faith, we have peace with YHWH through our Master Yahshua Messiah, (Romans 5:2) through whom also we have obtained our introduction by
faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of
YHWH. (Romans 5:3) And not only this, but we also exult in
our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; (Romans 5:4) and perseverance, proven character; and proven character,
hope; (Romans 5:5) and hope does not disappoint, because the
love of YHWH has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who
was given to us. (Romans 5:6) While we were still helpless, (Hopeless
also?) at the right time Messiah died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:7) For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps
for the good man someone would dare even to die. (Romans 5:8) But YHWH
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet transgressors of
Torah (sinners), Messiah died for us. (Romans 5:9) Much more then,
having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of YHWH through Him.
(John
1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. (John 1:2) He was in the beginning with
Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to
be through Him,1 and without Him not
even one came to be that came to be. Footnote: 1 Ephesians
3:9, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Psalms 33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:6) There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name
was Yoḥanan. (John
1:7) This one came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. (John 1:8) He
was not that Light, but that he might bear witness of that Light. (Yah Chanan or John- his name in Hebrew
explains what he was sent for- to teach repentance; as his name means Yah’s Mercy) and you only
can receive it one way Loved One’- by REPENTING!
(John 1:9) He
was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world. (John
1:10) He was in the world, and the world
came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him. (John 1:11) He came to His own, and His own did not
receive Him. (John 1:12) But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of Elohim, to
those believing in His Name, (John 1:13) who were born, neither of blood nor of
the desire neither of flesh nor of the desire of man, but of Elohim. (John
1:14) And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent 1 among (dwelled among) us, and we saw His
esteem (glory), esteem as of an only
brought-forth of a father, complete in favor and truth. Footnote: 1 An indication that His birth was during the Festival
of Booths. (Tabernacles) (John 1:15)
Yoḥanan bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of
whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has become before me, because He was before me.’ ” (John 1:16) And out of His completeness we all did
receive, and favor upon favor, (John 1:17) for
the Torah was given through Mosheh – the favor and the truth came through יהושע Messiah. (John 1:18) No
one has ever seen Elohim.1 The only brought-forth Son, who is in the
bosom of the Father, He did declare.2
Footnotes: 1 See 5:37, 6:46, 1 John 4:12.
2 The
pre-existent Son declared, and was the One who appeared to men. (John 1:19)
Now this was the witness of Yoḥanan when the Yehuḏim sent from
Yerushalayim priests and Lĕwites to ask him, “Who are you?” (John 1:20)
And he confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the
Messiah.” (John 1:21) And they asked him, “What then, are you
Ěliyahu?” So he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
(John 1:22)
Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, so that we give an answer to
those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” (John
1:23) He said, “I am a voice of
one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of יהוה,’
as the prophet Yeshayahu said.” (John 1:24) And those sent were of the Pharisees, (John 1:25) and they asked him, saying, “Why then do
you immerse if you are not the Messiah, nor Ěliyahu, nor the Prophet?” (John 1:26)
Yoḥanan answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in your midst
stands One whom you do not know, (John 1:27)
the One coming after me, who has become before me, whose sandal strap I am not
worthy to loosen.” (John 1:28) This took place in Bĕyth Anyah beyond the
Yardĕn, where Yoḥanan was immersing.
(John 1:29) On the next day Yoḥanan saw יהושע coming toward him, and said, “See, the Lamb of Elohim who takes
away the sin of the world!1 Footnote: 1 Matthew 1:21,
Titus 2:14, 1 John 3:5 & 8. (John 1:30) “This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has become
before me, for He was before me.’1
Footnote: 1 See v. 15. John 1:31)
“And I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Yisra’ĕl, therefore I
came immersing in water.” (John 1:32) And Yoḥanan bore witness, saying, “I have
seen the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and remain on Him. (John 1:33)
“And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water said to
me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining on Him, this is He
who immerses in the Set-apart Spirit.’ (John 1:34) “And I have seen and have witnessed that this
is the Son of Elohim.” John 1:35) Again the
following day, Yoḥanan was standing with two of his taught ones, (John 1:36) and looking at יהושע
walking, he said, “See the Lamb of Elohim!”
(John 1:37)
And the two taught ones heard him speaking, and they followed יהושע. (John 1:38) And יהושע
turning, and seeing those following, said to them,
“What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you
staying?” (John 1:39) He said to them, “Come
and see.” They went and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him
that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. (John 1:40) Andri, the brother of Shimʽon Kĕpha, was one
of the two who heard from Yoḥanan, and followed Him. (John
1:41) First he found his own
brother Shimʽon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means the Anointed). (John 1:42)
And he brought him to יהושע. And looking at him, יהושע said, “You are
Shimʽon the son of Yonah, you shall be called Kĕpha” (which means A Stone). (John 1:43) On
the following day יהושע wished to go to
Galil, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” (John 1:44)
And Philip was from Bĕyth Tsaiḏa, the city of Andri and Kĕpha. (John 1:45)
Philip found Nethanĕ’l and said to him, “We have found Him whom Mosheh wrote of in the Torah, and the prophets: יהושע of Natsareth – the son of Yosĕph.” (John
1:46) And Nethanĕ’l said to him,
“Is it possible for any good matter to come out of Natsareth?” Philip
said to him, “Come and see.” (John 1:47) יהושע
saw Nethanĕ’l coming toward Him, and said of him, “See, truly a Yisra’ĕlite, in
whom is no deceit!” (John 1:48) Nethanĕ’l said to Him, “From where do you
know me?” יהושע answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,
I saw you.” (John 1:49) Nethanĕ’l answered and said to Him, “Rabbi,
You are the Son of Elohim! You are the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl!” (John 1:50) יהושע
answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I
saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? Greater things than that you shall
see.” (John 1:51) And He said to him, “Truly,
truly, I say to you, from now on you shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers
(Angels) of Elohim ascending and descending upon the Son of Aḏam.”
Truth Seekers, we have
studied and reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can
expect in the days ahead. Please
do remember the Scriptures declare this Exodus will be a far greater
deliverance than even Moses and Israel crossing the Red Sea. Thank you for your prayers and intercession as
I am meeting part of our family of loved ones in the Deep South and they are
delightful people indeed!
Once again we need to
remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are
“Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore
loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46)
While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers
stood without, desiring to speak with him.(Matthew 12:47)
Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand
without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48)
But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my
mother? And
who are
my brothers?
(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward
his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50)
For whosoever shall do
the will
of my
Father which is
in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves
and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH! /Instructions) we are
Yahshua’s (Jesus) family!
We should also realize a
truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew
idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last
days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that
we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies
that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade
(added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH
of none effect! (Jeremiah
16:19) O LORD, my
strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction,
the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall
say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I
command you, and do not take away from 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.
Can we even imagine thinking we were serving YHWH our
whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of
lawlessness- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually
were disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This experience would and will cause many or MOST who are not
really even OUTER COURT CHRISTIANS, never having led 1 soul to life
everlasting, to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth, into the
flames of hell!
Heaven is our goal- Oh
Yah- Change us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your
sight! Nothing is too hard for you YHWH! There it is in a nutshell once
again. You are family if you are humble enough to be a truth
searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than you
want acceptance from men and their traditions. This group would include us who
are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial
stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He increases in
us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do the changing,
Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24)
Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25)
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake
shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to
humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This
losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image
we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we
are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
How do we
hunger and thirst for righteousness?
(James 4:7) So then subject (submit/humble)
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! (James
4:9) Lament and mourn
and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master,
and He shall lift you up. You and I must change and receive the engrafted
word of LIFE, (HUMBLE OURSELVES) turn in repentance and OBEY HIM. We can
no longer say we love Him and not do what He says! (Luke 6:46) And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say?
Do we ALSO call Him Lord
and Master but not obey Him? Are we of those that think His LAW (Commentary:
Law was translated that but it is Torah-Instructions in Hebrew) is done
away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that position!
The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled. Passover, Feast of Unleavened
Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled down to the day and hour! He
was the Passover Lamb, 3 days later the High Priest was still in seclusion as
was prescribed of the High Priest prior to offering the thanksgiving for
the first fruits of the Earth, when He said “Don’t touch me Mary, I have
not yet ascended to My Father.” He is and was the High Priest! Seven sevens (weeks) later He sent the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit) on Shavuot, the anniversary of giving the Torah (Law) at Mt. Sinai. He came the first
time to be Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering servant to be the
Lamb of YHWH (God) sacrifice.
He is coming a second
time very soon as Messiah Ben David, the Reigning King! He
will rule His Kingdom from Jerusalem! Is He now ruling? NO. It is not all
fulfilled! Let’s look at what Yahshua said about the Law being done away
with and WHEN this will occur! (Matthew
5:17) Think not
that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18) For verily I say unto you, until
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from
the law, until all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Even to us casual
observers, heaven and earth have not passed! Let’s acknowledge that fact
as a truth and return to Him as we study this week’s portion and allow Him to
restore ALL things- especially us!
(Jeremiah 30:3) 'For behold, days are coming,' declares
YHWH, 'when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel
and Judah.' (Comment: this means you and I who are grafted into
Israel by grace by faith in Yahshua and are heirs now of Abraham according to
the promise) YHWH says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I
gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'" (Jeremiah 30:16) 'Therefore all who devour you will be devoured; and all
your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; and those who
plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will give for
prey. (Jeremiah 30:17) 'For I will restore you to health and
I will heal you of your wounds,' declares YHWH, 'because they have called
you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."' (Jeremiah 30:18) "Thus says YHWH, 'Behold, I will restore the
fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwelling places;
and the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, and the palace will stand on its
rightful place. (Jeremiah 30:19) 'From them will proceed thanksgiving and
the voice of those who celebrate; and I will multiply them and they will not be
diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. (Jeremiah 30:20) 'Their children also will be as formerly, and their
congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their
oppressors. (Jeremiah 30:21) 'Their leader shall be one of them, and
their ruler shall come forth from their midst; and I will bring him near and he
shall approach me; for who would dare to risk his life to approach me?'
declares YHWH. (Jeremiah 30:22) 'You shall be my people, and I will
be your Elohim.'"
WE are the ones addressed below by James- (Ya’akov)
who are dispersed for accepting the pagan worship we inherited- scattered all
over the world- we repent to be RESTORED!
(James
1:1) Yaʽaqoḇ,
a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings.
(James 1:2)
My brothers, count it all joy
when you fall into various trials, (James 1:3)
knowing that the proving of your belief (faith-trust)
works endurance. (James 1:4) And let endurance have a perfect work, so
that you be perfect and complete, lacking in naught. (James
1:5) If any of you lacks wisdom, let
him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it
shall be given to him. (James 1:6) But he should ask in belief (faith-trust), not doubting, for he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:7)
For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever from the
Master – (James 1:8) he is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways. (James 1:9) And let the lowly brother boast in his
exaltation, (James 1:10) but the rich in his
humiliation, because as a flower of the field he shall pass away. (James 1:11)
For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass, and its
flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man shall
fade away in his ways. (James 1:12) Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for
when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master
has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:13) Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am
enticed by Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He
entices no one. (James 1:14) But each one is enticed when he is drawn away
by his own desires and trapped. (James 1:15) Then, when desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. (James 1:16)
Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. (James
1:17) Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom
there is no change, nor shadow of turning .1
Footnote: 1 See Malachi 3:6. (James 1:18)
Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to
be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. (James
1:19) So then, my beloved
brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of man does not work the
righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and
overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 13:4-23. (James 1:22) And
become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1See Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49,
Luke 8:21, Romans 2:13, Hebrews 4:11, Revelation 22:14. (James 1:23)
If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who
looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24)
for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was
like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the perfect Torah,
that of freedom,1 and continues in
it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but
a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah.
Footnote: 1 See 2:12. (James 1:26)
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his
tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (VAIN) (James
1:27) Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep ourselves
unstained (unpolluted) from the world.
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Bereshit* “New
Beginnings”
*Bereshit (Pronounced ber- e- sheet)
Genesis 1:1- 6:8; Isaiah 42:5-43:11; John Chapter One,
James Chapter 1
(Genesis
1:1) In
the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:2)
And the earth came to be1
formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of
Elohim was moving on the face of the waters. Footnote:
1 Or the earth became. (Genesis
1:3) And Elohim said, “Let light
come to be,” and light came to be. (Genesis 1:4) And Elohim saw the light, that it was good.
And Elohim separated the light from the darkness. (Genesis
1:5) And Elohim called the light
‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and
there came to be morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:6) And Elohim said, “Let an expanse come to be
in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” (Genesis 1:7)
And Elohim made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under
the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it came to be so.
(Genesis 1:8)
And Elohim called the expanse ‘heavens.’ And there came to be evening
and there came to be morning, the second day. (Genesis
1:9) And Elohim said, “Let the
waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry
land appear.” And it came to be so. (Genesis 1:10) And Elohim called the dry land ‘earth,’ and
the collection of the waters He called ‘seas.’ And Elohim saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:11)
And Elohim said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the plant that yields
seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is
in it, on the earth.” And it came to be so. (Genesis
1:12) And the earth brought forth
grass, the plant that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that
yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And Elohim saw
that it was good. (Genesis 1:13) And there came to be evening and there came
to be morning, the third day. (Genesis 1:14) And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in
the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be
for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, (Genesis
1:15) and let them be for lights
in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be
so. (Genesis 1:16) And Elohim made two great lights: the greater
light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars. (Genesis 1:17)
And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the
earth, (Genesis 1:18) and to rule over the day
and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw
that it was good. (Genesis 1:19) And there came to be evening and there came
to be morning, the fourth day. (Genesis 1:20) And Elohim said, “Let the waters teem with
shoals of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth on the face of
the expanse of the heavens.”
Note that
everything YHWH created was good and multiplied after its own kind!
(Note also that
YHWH created MAN- male and female; male and man with womb- womb-man or woman)
(Genesis
1:21) And Elohim created great sea creatures and
every living creature that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to
their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Elohim
saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:22) And Elohim blessed them, saying, “Bear fruit
and increase, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds increase on
the earth.” (Genesis 1:23) And there came to be evening and there came
to be morning, the fifth day. (Genesis 1:24) And Elohim said, “Let the earth bring forth
the living creature according to its kind: livestock and creeping creatures and
beasts of the earth, according to its kind.” And it came to be so. (Genesis 1:25)
And Elohim made the beast of the earth according to its kind, livestock
according to its kind, and all that creep on the earth according to its kind.
And Elohim saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:26) And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in our
image, according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the
earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.” (Genesis 1:27)
And Elohim created the man in
His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them. (Genesis
1:28) And Elohim blessed them,
and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and
subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the
heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.” (Genesis
1:29) And Elohim said, “See, I
have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the
earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food. (Genesis 1:30)
“And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and
to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is life, every green
plant is for food.” And it came to be so. (Genesis
1:31) And Elohim saw all that He
had made, and see, it was very good. And there came to be evening and there
came to be morning, the sixth day.
Sabbath for
rest!
(Genesis 2:1) Thus the heavens and the earth were
completed, and their entire array. (Genesis 2:2) And on the seventh day Elohim completed
His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work
which He had made. (Genesis 2:3) And Elohim blessed the seventh day and set
it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating
had made. (Genesis 2:4) These are the births of the heavens and the
earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens. (Genesis 2:5)
Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the
field had yet sprung up, for יהוה Elohim had not sent
rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground, (Genesis 2:6)
but a mist went up from the earth and watered the entire surface of the
ground. (Genesis 2:7) And יהוה
Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:8)
And יהוה Elohim planted a garden in Ěḏen, to the
east, and there He put the man whom He had formed. (Genesis
2:9) And out of the ground יהוה Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant
to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the
garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis
2:10) And a river went out of Ěḏen
to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four riverheads. (Genesis 2:11)
The name of the first is Pishon, it is the one surrounding the entire
land of Ḥawilah, where there is gold. (Genesis 2:12) And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium
is there, and the shoham stone. (Genesis 2:13) And the name of the second river is Giḥon it
is the one surrounding the entire land of Kush. (Genesis
2:14) And the name of the third
river is Ḥiddeqel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Ashshur. And
the fourth river is the Euphrates. (Genesis 2:15) And יהוה
Elohim took the man and put him in the garden of Ěḏen to work it and to guard
it. (Genesis 2:16) And יהוה
Elohim commanded the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden, (Genesis 2:17)
but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the
day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”
NOTE: YHWH did NOT make Adam and
Steve- or Susan and Jane
(Genesis 2:18)
And יהוה Elohim said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I am going to make a helper
for him, as his counterpart.” (Genesis 2:19) And from the ground יהוה
Elohim formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens, and
brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man
called each living creature that was its name. (Genesis
2:20) So the man gave names to
all livestock, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the
field. But for the man there was not found a helper for him, as his
counterpart. (Genesis 2:21) So יהוה
Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. And He took one of
his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. (Genesis
2:22) And the rib which יהוה Elohim had taken from the man He made into
a woman, and He brought her to the man. (Genesis 2:23) And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called
‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.” (Genesis
2:24) For this cause a man shall
leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis
2:25) And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, yet they were not ashamed.
Note that transgressing YHWH’s
commands (SIN according to 1 John) brings forth a spirit of fear and loss of
COURAGE! YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear-
(Romans
8:15) You did not receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,
“Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of Elohim, (Romans 8:17)
and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah,
if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together. (Romans 8:18)
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth
comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us.
(Note also that none of us- including Adam and Eve want
to take responsibility for our disobedience- we prefer to blame others- our
church father’s teachings, our circumstances, our overwhelming storms etc)
(Genesis
3:1) And the serpent was craftier than any beast
of the field which יהוה Elohim had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that
Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?” (Genesis 3:2)
And the woman said to the serpent, “We are to eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden, (Genesis 3:3) but of the
fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim has said, ‘Do not
eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.’ ” (Genesis
3:4) and the serpent said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die. (Genesis 3:5)
“For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened
and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis
3:6) And the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, which it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable
to make one wise, and she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave to her
husband with her, and he ate. (Genesis 3:7) Then the eyes of both of them were opened,
and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made
loin coverings for themselves. (Genesis 3:8) And they heard the sound of יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of יהוה Elohim among the
trees of the garden. (Genesis 3:9) And יהוה
Elohim called unto Aḏam and said to him, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:10) And he said, “I heard Your voice in the
garden, and I was afraid because
I was naked, so I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:11) And He said, “Who made you know that you were
naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not
eat?” (Genesis 3:12) And the man said, “The woman whom you gave to
be with me, she gave me of the tree and I ate.” (Genesis
3:13) And יהוה
Elohim said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said,
“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:14) And יהוה
Elohim said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more
than all livestock and more than every beast of the field. On your belly you
are to go, and eat dust all the days of your life. (Genesis
3:15) “And I put enmity between
you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed 1.
He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel.” Footnote: 1 First promise of the Messiah. (Genesis 3:16)
To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your
conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband,
and he does rule over you.” (Genesis 3:17) And to the man He said, “Because you have
listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I
commanded you, saying, ‘Do not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground because of
you, in toil you are to eat of it all the days of your life, (Genesis 3:18)
and the ground shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and
you shall eat the plants of the field. (Genesis 3:19) “By the sweat of your face you are to eat
bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust
you are, and to dust you return.” (Genesis 3:20) And the man called his wife’s name Ḥawwah,
because she became the mother of all living. (Genesis
3:21) And יהוה
Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife and dressed them. (Genesis 3:22)
And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like
one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take
also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...” (Genesis 3:23) so יהוה Elohim sent him out of the garden of Ěḏen
to till the ground from which he was taken, (Genesis
3:24) and He drove the man out. And He placed keruḇim at the east of
the garden of Ěḏen, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the
way to the tree of life.
Adam “KNEW” his wife is a Hebrew
idiom for had sexual intercourse with- most intimate among the husband and wife
relationships
(Genesis 4:1) And Aḏam
knew Ḥawwah his wife, and she conceived and bore
Qayin, and said, “I have gained a man from יהוה.” (Genesis 4:2) And again, she gave birth to his brother Heḇel.
And Heḇel became a keeper of sheep, but Qayin became a tiller of the ground. (Genesis 4:3)
And it came to be, in the course of time, that Qayin brought an offering
of the fruit of the ground to יהוה. (Genesis 4:4)
And Heḇel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat.
And יהוה looked to Heḇel and his offering, (Genesis 4:5) but He did not look to Qayin and his
offering. And Qayin was very wroth, and his face fell. (Genesis
4:6) And יהוה
said to Qayin, “Why are you wroth? And why is your face fallen? (Genesis 4:7)
“If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin1 is crouching at the door. And its
desire is for you, but you should master it.” Footnote:
1Sin (transgression of the law) was already then known, as we also
read in 39:9. (Genesis 4:8) And Qayin told Heḇel his brother. And it came
to be when they were in the field, that Qayin rose up against Heḇel his
brother and killed him. (Genesis 4:9) And יהוה
said to Qayin, “Where is Heḇel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am
I my brother’s guard?” (Genesis 4:10) And He said, “What have you done? The voice
of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. (Genesis 4:11)
“And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to
receive your brother’s blood from your hand. (Genesis
4:12) “If you till the ground, it
shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth.” (Genesis 4:13) And Qayin said to יהוה,
“My punishment is too great to bear! (Genesis 4:14) “See, you have driven me from the face of the
ground today, and I am hidden from your face. I shall be a fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me kills me.” (Genesis 4:15)
And יהוה said to him, “Well, if anyone kills Qayin,
vengeance is taken on him sevenfold.” And יהוה
set up a sign for Qayin, lest anyone finding him kills him. (Genesis 4:16)
So Qayin went out from the presence of יהוה
and dwelt in the land of Noḏ on the east of Ěḏen. (Genesis
4:17) And Qayin knew his wife,
and she conceived and bore Ḥanoḵ. And he built a city, and called the name of
the city after the name of his son, Ḥanoḵ. (Genesis
4:18) And to Ḥanoḵ was born
Iraḏ. And Iraḏ brought forth Meḥuya’ĕl, and Meḥuya’ĕl brought forth
Methusa’ĕl, and Methusa’ĕl brought forth Lemeḵ. (Genesis
4:19) And Lemeḵ took for himself
two wives, the name of one was Aḏah, and the name of the second was Tsillah. (Genesis 4:20)
And Aḏah bore Yaḇal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents,
with livestock. (Genesis 4:21) And his brother’s name was Yuḇal. He was the
father of all those who play the lyre and flute. (Genesis
4:22) As for Tsillah, she also
bore Tuḇal-Qayin, a smith of all kinds of tools in bronze and iron. And the
sister of Tuḇal-Qayin was Naʽamah. (Genesis 4:23) And Lemeḵ said to his wives, “Aḏah and Tsillah
hear my voice! Wives of Lemeḵ, listen to my words! For I have killed a man for
wounding me, even a young man for hurting me. (Genesis
4:24) “Qayin is avenged
sevenfold, and Lemeḵ seventy-sevenfold.” (Genesis
4:25) And Aḏam knew his wife
again, and she bore a son and called his name Shĕth, “For Elohim has appointed
me another seed instead of Heḇel, because Qayin had slain him.” (Genesis 4:26)
And to Shĕth, to him also a son was born. And he called his name Enosh.
Then it was begun to call on the Name of יהוה1. Footnote: 1The first record of “calling on the
Name of יהוה”
Note again that
YHWH created MAN- male and female; or man with womb- womb-man or woman)
(Genesis
5:1) This is the book of the genealogy of Aḏam. In the day that Elohim created man, He made
him in the likeness of Elohim. (Genesis 5:2) Male and female He created them, and
He blessed them, and called their name ‘Aḏam’ in the day they were created. (Genesis 5:3)
And Aḏam lived one hundred and thirty years, and brought forth a son in
his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Shĕth. (Genesis 5:4)
And after he brought forth Shĕth, the days of Aḏam were eight hundred
years. And he brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis
5:5) So all the days that Aḏam
lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. (Genesis
5:6) And Shĕth lived one hundred
and five years, and brought forth Enosh. (Genesis 5:7) And after he brought forth Enosh, Shĕth lived
eight hundred and seven years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:8)
So all the days of Shĕth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he
died. (Genesis 5:9) And Enosh lived ninety years, and brought
forth Qĕynan. (Genesis 5:10) And after he brought forth Qĕynan, Enosh
lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:11)
So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died. (Genesis 5:12)
And Qĕynan lived seventy years, and brought forth Mahalal’ĕl. (Genesis 5:13)
After he brought forth Mahalal’ĕl, Qĕynan lived eight hundred and forty
years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis
5:14) So all the days of Qĕynan
were nine hundred and ten years, and he died. (Genesis
5:15) Mahalal’ĕl lived sixty-five years, and brought forth Yereḏ. (Genesis 5:16)
After he brought forth Yereḏ, Mahalal’ĕl lived eight hundred and thirty
years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis
5:17) So all the days of
Mahalal’ĕl were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died. (Genesis 5:18)
And Yereḏ lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and brought forth Ḥanoḵ.
(Genesis 5:19)
And after he brought forth Ḥanoḵ, Yereḏ lived eight hundred years,
and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:20) So all the days of Yereḏ were nine hundred
and sixty-two years, and he died. (Genesis 5:21) And Ḥanoḵ lived sixty-five years, and
brought forth Methushelaḥ. (Genesis 5:22) And after he brought forth Methushelaḥ, Ḥanoḵ
walked with Elohim three hundred years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:23)
All the days of Ḥanoḵ were three hundred and sixty-five years. (Genesis 5:24)
And Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim. Then he was no more, for Elohim took
him. (Genesis 5:25) And Methushelaḥ lived one hundred and
eighty-seven years, and brought forth Lemeḵ. (Genesis
5:26) And after he brought forth
Lemeḵ, Methushelaḥ lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and brought
forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:27) So all the days of Methushelaḥ were nine
hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. (Genesis
5:28) And Lemeḵ lived one
hundred and eighty-two years, and brought forth a son, (Genesis
5:29) and called his name Noaḥ, saying, “This one does comfort us
concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which יהוה has cursed.” (Genesis 5:30)
And after he brought forth Noaḥ, Lemeḵ lived five hundred and
ninety-five years, and brought forth sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:31)
So all the days of Lemeḵ were seven hundred and seventy-seven years,
and he died. (Genesis 5:32) And Noaḥ was five hundred years old, and
Noaḥ brought forth Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth.
We see below that grace is not some NEW THING in the New
Testament like many of us were taught-NOAH found grace in His eyes! NOTE ALSO-
and be aware- The Nephilim were (are) the offspring of fallen angels
(demonic-alien- beings) that mated with earth’s women! Yahshua (Jesus) tells us
why this is extremely important, as we can now expect these demon alien beings
to manifest in our times also; (Matthew 24:37) As the days of Noah were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man 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 (Yahshua) 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 (Incorrect
translation) 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 (GRACE) in the eyes of יהוה.
(Isaiah
42:5) Thus said the Ěl, יהוה, who created
the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which
comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who
walk on it: (Isaiah 42:6) “I, יהוה,
have called you in righteousness, and I take hold of Your hand and guard You,
and give You for a covenant to a people, for a light to the gentiles, (Isaiah 42:7)
to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who
sit in darkness from the prison house. (Isaiah 42:8) “I am יהוה,
that is My Name, and my esteem I do not give to another, nor my praise to
idols. (Isaiah 42:9) “See,
the former predictions have come, and new ones I am declaring; before
they spring forth I let you hear them.” (Isaiah
42:10) Sing to יהוה a new song; His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go
down to the sea, and all that is in it, you coast lands and you inhabitants of
them! (Isaiah 42:11) Let the wilderness and its cities lift up
their voice, the villages where Qĕḏar dwells. Let the inhabitants of Sela
sing; let them shout from the top of the mountains. (Isaiah
42:12) Let them give esteem to יהוה, and declare His praise in the coast lands.
(Isaiah 42:13) יהוה
goes forth like a mighty man. He stirs up ardor like a fighter. He cries out,
yea, shout aloud. Over His enemies He shows Himself mighty. (Isaiah 42:14)
“I have kept silent from of old, I have been still and held myself back.
Like a woman in labor I now cry out, I pant and gasp at once. (Isaiah 42:15)
“I lay waste mountains and hills, and I dry up all their plants. And I
shall make rivers become coast lands, and I dry up pools. (Isaiah 42:16)
“And I shall lead the blind by a way they have not known – in paths they
have not known I lead them. I make darkness light before them, and crooked
places straight. These matters I shall do for them, and I shall not forsake
them. (Isaiah 42:17) “Those who trust in idols, who say to the
molded images, ‘You are our mighty ones,’ shall be turned back, utterly
ashamed. (Isaiah 42:18) “Hear, you deaf! And look, you blind, and
see. (Isaiah 42:19) “Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my
messenger whom I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace, and blind as servant
of יהוה? (Isaiah 42:20) “You see much, but do not observe; ears are
open, but do not hear.” (Isaiah 42:21) It has delighted יהוה,
for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and esteemed. (Isaiah 42:22)
But this is a people robbed and plundered, all of them are snared in
holes, and they are hidden in prison houses. They have become a prey, with no
one to deliver – for plunder, and no one to say, “Restore!” (Isaiah 42:23)
Who among you gives ear to this, pays attention and hears for the time
to come? (Isaiah 42:24) Who gave Yaʽaqoḇ for plunder, and Yisra’ĕl
to the robbers? Was it not יהוה, He against whom we
sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, and they did not obey His Torah! (Isaiah 42:25)
So He has poured on him His burning displeasure and the strength of
battle, and it set him on fire all around, yet he did not understand. And it
burned against him, yet he did not take it to heart!
Good News- FEAR NOT! Our redeemer
lives!
(Isaiah
43:1) But now, thus
said יהוה, your Creator, O Yaʽaqoḇ, and He who
formed you, O Yisra’ĕl, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called
you by your name, you are mine. (Isaiah 43:2) “When you pass through the waters, I am with
you; and through rivers, they do not overflow you. When you walk through fire,
you are not scorched, and a flame does not burn you. (Isaiah
43:3) “For I am יהוה your Elohim, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, your Savior; I gave
Mitsrayim for your ransom, Kush and Seḇa in your place. (Isaiah 43:4)
“Since you were precious in my eyes, you have been esteemed, and I have
loved you. And I give men in your place, and peoples for your life. (Isaiah 43:5)
“Do not fear, for I am with you. I
shall bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west. (Isaiah 43:6)
“I shall say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not
keep them back!’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the
earth – (Isaiah 43:7) all those who are called
by my name, whom I have created, formed, even made for my esteem.” (Isaiah 43:8)
He shall bring out a blind people who have eyes, and deaf ones who have
ears. (Isaiah 43:9) All the nations shall be assembled, and the
peoples be gathered. Who among them declares this, and show us former events?
Let them give their witnesses, to be declared right; or let them hear and say,
“It is truth.” (Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” declares יהוה, “And my servant whom I have chosen, so
that you know and believe me, and understand that I am He. Before me there was
no Ěl formed, nor after me there is none. (Isaiah
43:11) “I, I am יהוה, and besides me there is no savior.
Loved One, YHWH loves us to put Him (His Word and
promises) in remembrance- (Isaiah 43:26) put me in remembrance: let us plead
together: declare thou, that thou may be justified. He promises us in Jeremiah-
(Jeremiah 1:12) and יהוה said to me,
“You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.” (Jeremiah 1:12) Then said
(YHWH) unto me, you have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Let’s guarantee our victory for our
loved ones- let’s agree with His promises and good report and not what is seen-
the apparent facts. Remember with me, hasatan comes immediately to steal
the promise or the word which is the promise seed we have planted by our
prayer. We must stand firm, and continue to give thanks; we are guaranteed to
be tested by the enemy of our souls- but he is a liar and the father of all
lies- Yahshua is the TRUTH- no matter what we are seeing- this is how we fight
the good fight we are to fight- the fight of faith and trust! Taking hold of
our confession we are making amongst a cloud of witnesses. Let’s start this NEW
YEAR BIBLICALLY by kicking down the gates of hell and agreeing with Yahshua-
SET MY PROPLE FREE THAT THEY MAY COME AND WORSHIP! When new believe it is
because Father has given us revelation that His promises are true- YES AND AMEN
or so be it; (Matthew 16:17) And Yahshua
answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona (BELIVER): for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father
which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:18) And I say also to
you, you are Kefa (Peter), and upon this rock (foundation) I will build my Body/Assembly;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Relationship brings revelation and victory from the Father of Lights!
Shalom – it is time for our Victory (1 Corinthians 15:57) Thanks be to
YHWH Elohim who gives us the overcoming victory through our Master יהושע Messiah.
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
About our Torah Cycle start date…For me it is about restoration of all things- which sometimes means 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
from all languages of the nations take
hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you,
for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote:
1 John 4:22.
Blessings family CJ here, Want to share with all of you a few WORDS received recently. Please ask Holy Spirit to guide. If you get something on this, please share with the group. Many thankful blessings & much love! 2-19-2015 shortly before midnight, 11:37 p.m., awakened High Alert from sleep, compelled to "Sound the SHOFAR" (many blessings to Billie & Thurston McCutchen for blessing us with a Shofar!) So I climbed from bed & did just that to honor Father...in my pajamas beneath the beautiful starry night sky Then Abba led me to light up the night airwaves on JerusalemBroadcastingTexasReviveAmerica & call His children!! I did just that until after 2a.m. (2-20-2015), then loaded the Spirit-led broadcast to re-air & went back to bed. Satisfied...mission accomplished. Between 7 & 8 a.m., I awakened to a series of Living Words, "The day was April 19"; "(He?) walked among them 7 months & was no more". (He was not said but seemed implied) Much to consider: 1. What happened in history (His Story) on "April 19"? 2. What will happen April 19? 3. Who "walked among them 7months & was no more"? Flesh or spirit? The Church? The Spirit? Pres O? Pope Francis? Pope Benedict?? PM Benjamin Netanyahu? So many possibilities. 4. "(He?)walked among them 7months & was no more" when? "7months" forward from 2-20-2015? forward from "April 19"? this year...or another? past, present, future? Holy WOW! Let's compare events InTheNEWS as of 2-20-2015 with "April 19" historical events.

How fast can government become savior? How many will trade birthright for a cup of soup? Who has faith & authority to petition GOD for loaves & fishes? Who will trust God for mana from heaven? Who will wait upon the LORD & endure? 2) Oil refinery explosion results in shutdown of west coast refineries & storage facilities. Another piercing cog in the motion of a nation's livelihood? Gasoline? Just gotta drive? What happens to a sociey attached to the teat of luxury? Who will park their cars...and walk or bike? 3) President Obama held 3 day Violent Terrorism Summit, ending 2-20-2015! Explains why Father God wanted the SHOFAR BLOWN world-wide Homeland Security Watch List? Evangelical Christians? Jews? before midnight 2-19-2015...& His children called to gather close to Him now!! Hummm, multi-nation effort to corral violent terrorism? Aside from isis, who's on Patriots? What happens when a broke nation promises to help fund weak nations' efforts to install plans? 4) PM Benjamin Netanyahu scheduled to address U.S. Congress, March 1, 2015, being snubbed again by Pres, VP, & many elected officials. The called out & evangelical Christians are not happy. 5) Pope Francis scheduled to be in U.S. week of 9-20-2015, just in time for Yom Kippur & Sukkot prep hours (final blood moon holy day of 2014/2015 Blood Moon Tetrad...7months after GOD released His Word, "(He) Walked among them 7months & was no more." 6) Boston Marathon Aril 15, 2014...terrorists bomb!
