Shabbat Shalom Loved One! 
   
This Torah Study is attached for printing- for easier reading format- some ask why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…
 
Current Events: Consider these parallels not a coincidence! Baltimore holds occultist convention synonymously as conflict erupts! Both Ferguson & Baltimore have long and deep occultist atmospheres and roots that have them targeted "Host Cities!" Just prior to the Oklahoma City beheading and the White House offering the Oklahoma Mosque official support, they too had a Black Magic Mass Convention! Many understand the physical laws and forces in nature, but the Bible gives numerous glimpses into the spiritual laws & forces that work every day with our lives!

Our Three Destinies approach and we choose to make ourselves ready as the Bride or not
 
Revelation 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13:10 He who brings into captivity shall go into captivity, he who kills with the sword has to be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the belief of the set-apart ones.
 
1.      If we promote others into captivity to protect ourselves---we go into captivity
2.      If we kill by weapons we shall be killed by weapons
3.      We can escape and endure by faith and trust as we hear and obey- believing Him
 
WE FEAR NOT! WE ONLY BELIEVE! Mark 5:35 As He was speaking, they came from the ruler of the congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” Mark 5:36 But having heard the word that was spoken, יהושע said to the ruler of the congregation, “Do not be afraid – only believe.”
 
 
 
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory) of יהוה has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:2 “Look; darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. Isaiah 60:3 “And the gentiles shall come to your light 1, and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 60:19, 20, Revelation 21:23, 24. Isaiah 60:4 “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. Isaiah 60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. 
 
It is getting really bad you say; darkness is encroaching upon us. Wickedness is increasing- blatantly they do evil in our governments with no regard to the people and their desires. The love of many grows cold. It has only yet begun what evil will be, but we shall shine brighter and brighter and do exploits in His set apart name; IF we have an intimate relationship with our Elohim! If not- we will be consumed also- believers (Sheep) into the Kingdom and goats into the everlasting fire. We know there is NO pre-tribulation rapture. That is nonsense, as it is not about us - but about the Kingdom- we are here to produce fruit that remains! We overcome with the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Our testimony is our words and our sharing our faith and beliefs with others- unashamed of His Gospel. His Gospel (Good News- His Word/s) has the power to produce life and deliverance in every confrontation with the enemy of our souls. We use our testimonies until it is finished- then what purpose would it be for us to escape and endure- if we are unwilling to build the Kingdom? We are told to pray that we are made worthy to still be alive at His coming. We are told to be sober and alert and escape and endure. The enduring of the saints is having trust and faith and an ear to hear and follow our King! Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News (Gospel) of Messiah, for it is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yehuḏite first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from belief (faith) to belief (faith), as it has been written, “But the righteous shall live by belief (faith).”1 Footnote: 1 Habakkuk 2:4.
 
As we mentioned last week- Darkness compels us to seek intimacy with our Father!
 
Our Messiah and King does not come until the LAST trump. There are only 10 days left in the GREAT TRIBULATION at that time- That is when the WRATH of Yahweh comes forth- we are not here for that. Then; on the Day of Atonement; or also called Judgment Day for most as they will not repent, Great Judgment and Wrath come on the earth- on Yom Kippur. Five Days later is the FEAST of Tabernacles where Yahshua (Jesus) dwells (tabernacles) on the earth for 1000 years and hasatan is locked away. My expectation is that 42 month Great Tribulation could start on Passover 2018---after---AFTER--the sign in the heavens at Feast of Tabernacles 2017 (September 23, 2017) with the 12 stars above Virgo (The Virgin) and the moon at her feet. This is the Revelation 12 sign of the start of the 42 months of Great Tribulation where the anti-messiah is revealed and makes war against the believers) then 42 months after Passover is the Last Trump- Feast of Trumpets 2022...well that's how I see it stacking up- realizing that no one knows the EXACT day or hour. But Sha'ul (Paul) states that it will come on THEM (The worldly) like a thief in the night- but IT WILL NOT SURPRISE YOU as you are children of the LIGHT ---or you better be. Time that we FEAR NOT --but draw very near to our coming King that we may do EXPLOITS and even greater things than Yahshua did because He went to the Father.
 
Site that speaks of Revelation 12 Sign in the Heavens: http://watchfortheday.org/1260tetrad.html
 
Revelation 12:1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Revelation 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. Revelation 12:3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and see, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. Revelation 12:4 And his tail draws a third of the stars of the heaven and throws them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:5 And she bore a male child 1 (Messiah Yahshua) who was to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught away to Elohim and to His throne. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 66:7. Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. (42 months or 3 ½ years of Great Tribulation)  Revelation 12:7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought, Revelation 12:8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer. Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads the entire world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him. Revelation 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim,1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1 See 11:15. Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness (testimony), and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:12 “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. Revelation 12:14 And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, (3 ½ years) from the presence of the serpent.
 
Revelation 12:15 And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water (people as a flood) like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river (Other translations say flood instead of river- but it is Wicked People as the rebellion and judgment of KORAH) which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.
 
 
Loved One- You and I were born for this time as Yahweh trusts us to be sober and alert and about our Father's Business---not our own! Shalom to your heart- make yourself ready to be the BRIDE without spot or blemish. Our King is not coming for an adulterous whoring wife again---but a BRIDE who makes herself ready LOVED ONE! I’m quoting my friend Michael Rood, “Let’s get a testimony and stretch it out as long as we can!” WE MUST BY DESIRE DRAW EVER SO NEAR AND INTIMATE WITH OUR FATHER! For those who seek to worship in Spirit and Truth who believe they were born to overcome and witness during these days- consider:

 
The POWER of our words being His words!
 
Why are death and life in the tongue?  I believe I was shown the answer to this some 20 plus years ago. Yep- its true- I am getting older- uhhh- mature! hehe Let me share the story of how Yahshua (Jesus) taught me the power of life in death is in our tongues and why we are commanded to BLESS AND DO NOT CURSE.  Again; (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit. Note: we will eat our tongues fruit.
 
I had been uttering the same prayer for several years asking for the salvation of one who was very close to me. I started down the hall from my office to my Board Room to meet other believers for our morning fellowship, coffee, donuts and prayer. We were typical, healthy Christians- hehe. Our office was one of Christian stock brokers, attorneys and CPA’s who worked together in financial and estate planning and we considered ourselves brothers and sisters with common prayer interests. With that setting; I will continue that fate filled morning. I started toward the hall from my desk and I heard these words- very clearly and boldly in my spirit- “Do not pray for her today!” What would you have done? Rebuke the devil? Yep so did I: “I rebuke you satan- you will not stop me from praying for their salvation!” Only to hear the funniest chuckle and these words “You cannot rebuke me son, I am the King of all Kings!” Startled by this response- I stammered my bewilderment- “Lord if that is really you- why would you ever ask me to not pray for their salvation?”
 
Remember, I had prayed daily for their salvation for over 2 years at this point so He replied lovingly with a series of questions followed by my response, “Have you asked me to save her son?”  “You know I have Lord- wish you would do it.” “Do you think I have heard you, son?” “Yes Lord, sometimes I am a hypocrite, but not that big of one- I wouldn't even ask if I didn't think you could!” “Do you think it is within my power to save her son?” “Yes Lord I would not even ask if I did not think you could- I sure wish you would!” “Do you think it is my will to save her son?” “Yes Lord, your word says; it is your will that none perish”
 
“You know son, if you ask ANYTHING according to the will of the Father, and you know that I have heard you- you know you HAVE the thing you ask for!” (I didn't realize at the time He was quoting: (1John 5:14) and this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us. (1John 5:15)  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.)
 
Then He asked one final question; “What would you do, son, if you knew you had the thing you have asked for?” He gave me no time to respond as He answered His own question; “You would be dancing and leaping and praising me!” “But NO- you continue to ask daily for the same thing as though your many prayers will be finally heard.” In my defense I offered feebly, “but Lord I was just using the Scripture about the unjust judge who was being pestered by the woman and he finally responded positively!” He responded quickly and with finality; “Son, I am NOT the unjust judge- all I require is that you ask and believe and give me thanks BEFORE you see the thing hoped for.  It is not faith if you can already see it- that is a report- and walking by the flesh- what you can see and touch.”
 
A few short years later as I was in so many fiery trials as were most of my believing friends (Many were going through divorces, job losses, bankruptcies, cancer battles, etc.) ; I spoke a blunt statement and challenge to the Lord, “Lord Isaiah 54:17 is NOT true- why do you have it in the Bible?” (Isaiah 54:17) “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which raises against you in judgment you shall prove wrong. This is the inheritance of the servants of יהוה, and their righteousness from me,” declares יהוה.
 
It seemed to me and my friends that hasatan was forming weapons that were prospering quite well against us! Yahshua quickly responded; “I destroyed the works of hell!” I responded, “How can you say that Master- they are responding pretty well against us; we are going through all manner of attacks and most of us are totally losing the battles, so how can you even state that?”  He replied again “I destroyed the works of hell!” I responded, if that’s true how come we are going through all this heartache and struggle and loss?” He replied a third time- “I destroyed the works of hell- but not your tongue. Satan shows you the storm and you agree with what is SEEN- and speak against my promise like the 10 spies did. I destroyed his power but not yours. Your power of life and death I have deposited in your tongue so you can walk in agreement with me and what I say or you can agree with satan’s plans for you and agree with the storm he sends. It is entirely in your choice who you agree with. If you agree with me, I AM the way, the Truth, and the Life, and the resurrection power- you receive my promises- if you agree with the storm and speak and prophesy it in agreement with satan- you get death and his results as that is all he has- since I have condemned him!”: He has no power left except to deceive you and steal your power as a son or daughter of Elohim!” “If you disagree with me- you LIE and are indeed a liar and agree with the father of lies- I AM still the TRUTH!” “Please stop agreeing with the FACTS that are seen- they are temporary.”
 
(2 Corinthians 4:16)  Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:17)  This slight momentary pressure is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of esteem (glory). (2 Corinthians 4:18)  We are not looking on what is seen (fact-flesh realm), but on what is not seen. (The promise of His Word not yet seen) For what is seen passes away, but what is not seen is everlasting.1 Footnote: 1 See 5:7, and Romans. 8:24, Hebrews 11:1 & 13.
 
Let’s change what we speak if our facts and circumstances don’t seem to line up with His promises- for what is SEEN is indeed only temporary and His promises (Unseen) will be forever! (Mar 13:31)  “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away.”  So let’s grasp and confess the plan of YHWH and what Yahshua was sent for: (Romans 10:8) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming (Speaking agreement with): (Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (Romans 10:10)  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. (Romans 10:11)  Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:12)  Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him. (Romans 10:13)  “Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” (The Greek word saved is SOSO and it is defined as saved, healed, made whole and delivered- it means from every attack by hell’s minions!)  So as you and I can easily see above we must confess or speak words that Yahshua- this is not just about salvation for when you die; it is about our deliverance from every attack from hell- we confess (Speak) Yahshua- the WORD! The WORD made flesh and dwelled among us but always the WORD!
 
(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, Col. 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.
 
Let’s all recognize this vital TRUTH:
 
(Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
 
Let’s remember also to not find ourselves in VAIN WORSHIP Let’s not get so enamored with events and daily distractions- that is- usually things we enjoy more than spending time fellowshiping with YHWH- things like TV, games, computer, etc. - as these are labeled as “IDOLS” and restrict us and limits us to vain meaningless worship; which depicts our relationship with our loving Creator. Here’s why we MUST forsake traditions and yes even “hobbies” that are not lined up with His Torah (Instructions- Word-Law): Our doctrines (DOINGS) MUST line up with the word forever established in Heaven if we expect our Creator to confirm His word with signs and wonders following as also He told Jeremiah- “I am watching over my word to perform it!”— (Jeremiah 1:11) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12)  And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.”  (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to me with their mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9)  ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah. 29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
 
Do WE in error also worship Him in vain?
 
And the King James: (Mat 15:8) this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Mat 15:9)  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines (doings) the commandments of men.
 
 
 
Here is the answer for our prayer dilemmas LOVED ONES! SPEAK HIS WORDS DAILY ABOUT OUR PETITIONS AND CONCERNS! Our need is never supplied by others- that is- we seem to want others (horizontal relationships) to do the changing and sometimes we pray- YAH change so and so- we even think and pray if our children- our boss, our husbands- our parents, our wives, our girlfriends, our boyfriends, our teachers etc. WOULD CHANGE; all would be well. Loved One we cannot even change ourselves much less others. Our Heavenly Father alone can do that so our prayers need to be about obedience VERTICAL with us and the Father. IF we will obey Him vertical He can and will CHANGE US! We must humble ourselves and submit to His words. We change as He will not- He is the same yesterday, today and forever. That only leaves us to change. We must learn to LOVE others NOT Judge them! When we submit- forget now about horizontal relationships changing- we can only submit for ourselves- hasatan will flee and we will receive Yahshua’s peace. He has overcome this world so we can be in good cheer and FEAR NOT! Remember in our loving obedience to our Heavenly Father- we bless those that curse us and pray for those that spitefully use us! (Luke 6:27)  “But I say to you who are hearing: Love your enemies, do good to those hating you. (Luke 6:28)  “Bless those cursing you, and pray for those insulting you.
 
Now let’s look at our need to flee the culture of this world.
 
(James 4:4)  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? 1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Matthew 13:22, Luke 4:5-6, Luke 14:33, Romans. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James 4:5)  Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James 4:6)  But He gives greater favor. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.”
 
(James 4:7)  So then subject  yourselves to Elohim. (Submit ourselves to His words and instructions – Torah- as this obedience is always a VERTICAL choice) 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! (James 4:9)  Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10)  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11)  Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12)  There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
 
One more time; we cannot fix others as that is a horizontal prayer, that is to say they are on our level and much like us; we can only submit vertically to obey the Father as He alone can change- and then only if we so choose! Let’s continue to choose LIFE! Our duty before our Father is to pray their eyes opened and their spiritual ears opened. WE should also pray that the Master of the harvest send the right workers into the harvest and minister LIFE to them! We also should command the gates of hell to open and release them as the gates of hell will not stand against His praying body!
 
(Deuteronomy 30:19)  “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
 
With those lessons on our hearts and minds’ let’s look at this week’s Torah Scriptures!
 
 
This Week’s Torah Scriptures: Tole’dot “Generations”
 
Genesis 25:19-28:9; Malachi 1:1- 2:17; Romans 9:6-13
 
 
Note the plan of YHWH in verse 23!
 
(Genesis 25:19)  And this is the genealogy of Yitsḥaq, Aḇraham’s son. Aḇraham brought forth Yitsḥaq. (Genesis 25:20)  And Yitsḥaq was forty years old when he took Riḇqah as wife, the daughter of Bethu’ĕl the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laḇan the Aramean. (Genesis 25:21)  And Yitsḥaq prayed to יהוה for his wife, because she was barren. And יהוה answered his prayer, and Riḇqah his wife conceived. (Genesis 25:22)  And within her the children struggled together, and she said, “If all is right, why am I this way?” So she went to ask יהוה. (Genesis 25:23)  And יהוה said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your body. And one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older serve the younger.” (Genesis 25:24)  And when the days were filled for her to give birth, and see, twins were in her womb! (Genesis 25:25)  And the first came out red all over, like a hairy garment, so they called his name Ěsaw. (Genesis 25:26)  And afterward his brother came out, with his hand holding on to Ěsaw’s heel, so his name was called Yaʽaqoḇ. And Yitsḥaq was sixty years old when she bore them. (Genesis 25:27)  And the boys grew up. And Ěsaw became a man knowing how to hunt, a man of the field, while Yaʽaqoḇ was a complete man, dwelling in tents. (Genesis 25:28)  And Yitsḥaq loved Ěsaw because he ate of his wild game, but Riḇqah loved Yaʽaqoḇ. (Genesis 25:29)  And Yaʽaqoḇ cooked a stew, and Ěsaw came in from the field, and he was weary. (Genesis 25:30)  And Ěsaw said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” That is why his name was called Eḏom. (Genesis 25:31)  But Yaʽaqoḇ said, “Sell me your birthright today.” (Genesis 25:32)  And Ěsaw said, “Look, I am going to die, so why should I have birthright?” (Genesis 25:33)  Then Yaʽaqoḇ said, “Swear to me today.” And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Yaʽaqoḇ. (Genesis 25:34)  Yaʽaqoḇ then gave Ěsaw bread and stew of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up and left. Thus Ěsaw despised his birthright.
 
John 14:21 from Yahshua comes to mind- Obedience = Love
 
(Genesis 26:1)  And there was a scarcity of food in the land, besides the first scarcity of food which was in the days of Aḇraham. And Yitsḥaq went to Aḇimeleḵ, sovereign of the Philistines, in Gerar. (Genesis 26:2)  And יהוה appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Mitsrayim, live in the land which I command you. (Genesis 26:3)  “Sojourn in this land. And I shall be with you and bless you, for I give all these lands to you and your seed. And I shall establish the oath which I swore to Aḇraham your father. (Genesis 26:4)  “And I shall increase your seed like the stars of the heavens, and I shall give all these lands to your seed. And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, (Genesis 26:5) because Aḇraham obeyed my voice and guarded My Charge: My commands, my laws, and My Torot1.” Footnote: 1 Torot - plural of Torah, teaching (Genesis 26:6) And Yitsḥaq dwelt in Gerar. (Genesis 26:7)  And when the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” thinking, “lest the men of the place should kill me for Riḇqah, because she is good-looking.” (Genesis 26:8)  And it came to be, when he had been there a long time that Aḇimeleḵ sovereign of the Philistines looked through a window, and he watched and saw Yitsḥaq playing with Riḇqah his wife. (Genesis 26:9)  So Aḇimeleḵ called Yitsḥaq and said, “See, truly she is your wife! So how could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” And Yitsḥaq said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die on account of her.’ ” (Genesis 26:10) And Aḇimeleḵ said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people had almost lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.” (Genesis 26:11)  And Aḇimeleḵ commanded all his people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.” (Genesis 26:12)  And Yitsḥaq sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, and יהוה blessed him. (Genesis 26:13)  And the man grew great and went forward until he became very great. (Genesis 26:14)  And he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great body of servants, and the Philistines envied him. (Genesis 26:15)  And the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Aḇraham his father, and filled them with dirt. (Genesis 26:16)  And Aḇimeleḵ said to Yitsḥaq, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.” (Genesis 26:17)  So Yitsḥaq went from there and pitched his tent in the wadi Gerar, and dwelt there. (Genesis 26:18)  And Yitsḥaq dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Aḇraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Aḇraham. And he called them by the names which his father had called them. (Genesis 26:19)  But when Yitsḥaq’s servants dug in the wadi and found a well of running water there, (Genesis 26:20) the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Yitsḥaq’s herdsmen, saying, and “The water is ours.” And he called the name of the well Ěseq, because they strove with him. (Genesis 26:21)  And they dug another well, and they strove over that one too, and he called its name Sitnah. (Genesis 26:22)  And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not strive over it. And he called its name Reḥoḇoth, and said, “For now יהוה has made room for us, and we shall bear fruit in the land.” (Genesis 26:23)  And from there he went up to Be’ĕrsheḇa. (Genesis 26:24) and יהוה appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the Elohim of your father Aḇraham. Do not fear, for I am with you, and shall bless you and increase your seed for My servant Aḇraham’s sake.” (Genesis 26:25)  And he built an altar there, and called on the Name of יהוה, and he pitched his tent there, and the servants of Yitsḥaq dug a well there. (Genesis 26:26)  And Aḇimeleḵ came to him from Gerar, with Aḥuzzath, one of his friends, and Piḵol the commander of his army. (Genesis 26:27)  And Yitsḥaq said to them, “Why have you come to me, seeing you have hated me and have sent me away from you?” (Genesis 26:28)  But they said, “We have clearly seen that יהוה is with you. And we said, ‘Please, let there be an oath between us, between you and us. And let us make a covenant with you, (Genesis 26:29)  that you do no evil to us, as we have not touched you, and as we have done only good toward you, and have sent you away in peace. You are now blessed by יהוה.’ ” (Genesis 26:30) and he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. (Genesis 26:31)  And they rose early in the morning and swore an oath with one another. And Yitsḥaq let them go, and they departed from him in peace. (Genesis 26:32)  And on the same day it came to be that the servants of Yitsḥaq came and informed him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” (Genesis 26:33)  So he called it Shiḇah. Therefore the name of the city is Be’ĕrsheḇa to this day. (Genesis 26:34)  And when Ěsaw was forty years old, he took as wives Yehuḏith the daughter of Be’ĕri the Ḥittite, and Basemath the daughter of Ělon the Ḥittite. (Genesis 26:35)  And they were a bitterness of spirit to Yitsḥaq and Riḇqah.
 
Hunting we shall go to steal back what you already sold?
 
(Genesis 27:1)  And it came to be, when Yitsḥaq was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called Ěsaw his elder son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.” (Genesis 27:2)  And he said, “See now, I am old, I do not know the day of my death. (Genesis 27:3)  “Now then, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt wild game for me. (Genesis 27:4)  “And make me a tasty dish, such as I love, and bring it to me to eat, in order that my being does bless you before I die.” (Genesis 27:5)  And Riḇqah heard when Yitsḥaq spoke to Ěsaw his son. And Ěsaw went to the field to hunt wild game and to bring it. (Genesis 27:6)  And Riḇqah spoke to Yaʽaqoḇ her son, saying, “See, I heard your father speak to Ěsaw your brother, saying, (Genesis 27:7) ‘Bring me wild game and make me a tasty dish to eat, and bless you in the presence of יהוה before my death.’ (Genesis 27:8)  “And now my son, listen to my voice according to what I command you. (Genesis 27:9)  “Please go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I make a tasty dish from them for your father, such as he loves. (Genesis 27:10)  “And you shall take it to your father, and he shall eat it, so that he might bless you before his death.” (Genesis 27:11)  And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Riḇqah his mother, “See, Ěsaw my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. (Genesis 27:12)  “What if my father touches me? Then I shall be like a deceiver in his eyes, and shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.” (Genesis 27:13)  But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” (Genesis 27:14)  And he went and fetched them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made a tasty dish, such as his father loved. (Genesis 27:15)  And Riḇqah took the best garments of her elder son Ěsaw, which were with her in the house, and put them on Yaʽaqoḇ her younger son. (Genesis 27:16)  And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. (Genesis 27:17)  Then she gave the tasty dish and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Yaʽaqoḇ. (Genesis 27:18)  And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” (Genesis 27:19)  And Yaʽaqoḇ said to his father, “I am Ěsaw your first-born, I have done as you said to me. Please rise, sit and eat of my wild game, so that your being might bless me.” (Genesis 27:20)  But Yitsḥaq said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because יהוה your Elohim brought it to me.” (Genesis 27:21)  Then Yitsḥaq said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Please come near, so that I feel you, my son, whether you truly are my son Ěsaw or not.” (Genesis 27:22)  And Yaʽaqoḇ went near to Yitsḥaq his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Yaʽaqoḇ, but the hands are the hands of Ěsaw.” (Genesis 27:23)  And he did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like his brother Ěsaw’s hands, and he blessed him. (Genesis 27:24)  And he said, “Are you truly my son Ěsaw?” And he said, “I am.” (Genesis 27:25)  And he said, “Bring it near to me, and let me eat of my son’s wild game, so that my being might bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate. And he brought him wine, and he drank. (Genesis 27:26)  And his father Yitsḥaq said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.” (Genesis 27:27)  And he came near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which יהוה has blessed. (Genesis 27:28)  And Elohim give you of the dew of the heavens, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine. (Genesis 27:29)  Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be those cursing you, and blessed be those blessing you!” (Genesis 27:30)  And it came to be, as soon as Yitsḥaq had finished blessing Yaʽaqoḇ, and Yaʽaqoḇ had hardly left the presence of Yitsḥaq his father, that Ěsaw his brother came in from his hunting. (Genesis 27:31)  And he too had made a tasty dish and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father rise and eat of his son’s wild game, so that your being might bless me.” (Genesis 27:32)  And his father Yitsḥaq said to him, “Who are you?” And he said, “I am your son, your first-born, Ěsaw.” (Genesis 27:33)  Then Yitsḥaq trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who was it then who hunted wild game and brought it to me? And I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him. Yea, he is blessed.” (Genesis 27:34)  When Ěsaw heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me too, O my father!” (Genesis 27:35)  And he said, “Your brother came with deceit and took your blessing.” (Genesis 27:36)  And Ěsaw said, “Was his name, then, called Yaʽaqoḇ? He has caught me by the heel these two times. He took my birthright, and see, now he has taken my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” (Genesis 27:37)  Then Yitsḥaq answered and said to Ěsaw, “See, I have made him your master, and all his brothers I have given to him as servants. And I have sustained him with grain and wine. And what, then, shall I do for you, my son?” (Genesis 27:38)  And Ěsaw said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me, me too, O my father!” And Ěsaw lifted up his voice and wept. (Genesis 27:39)  And Yitsḥaq his father answered and said to him, “See, your dwelling is of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the heavens from above. (Genesis 27:40)  And by your sword you are to live, and serve your brother. And it shall be, when you grow restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.” (Genesis 27:41)  And Ěsaw hated Yaʽaqoḇ because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Ěsaw said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father draw near, then I am going to kill my brother Yaʽaqoḇ.” (Genesis 27:42)  And the words of Ěsaw her older son were reported to Riḇqah, and she sent and called Yaʽaqoḇ her younger son, and said to him, “See, your brother Ěsaw comforts himself concerning you, to kill you. (Genesis 27:43)  “And now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee to my brother Laḇan in Ḥaran. (Genesis 27:44)  “And stay with him a few days, until your brother’s wrath turns away, (Genesis 27:45) until your brother’s displeasure turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. And I shall send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?” (Genesis 27:46)  And Riḇqah said to Yitsḥaq, “I am disgusted with my life because of the daughters of Ḥĕth. If Yaʽaqoḇ takes a wife from the daughters of Ḥĕth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what is my life to me?”
 
Blessings from OBEDIENCE! Note that Esau was cursed-hated by YHWH for his rebellion.
 
(Genesis 28:1)  And Yitsḥaq called Yaʽaqoḇ and blessed him, and commanded him, and said to him, “Do not take a wife from the daughters of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 28:2) “Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethu’ĕl your mother’s father. And take a wife for yourself from there, from the daughters of Laḇan your mother’s brother. (Genesis 28:3)  “And Ěl Shaddai bless you, and make you bear fruit and increase you, and you shall become an assembly of peoples, (Genesis 28:4) and give you the blessing of Aḇraham, to you and your seed with you, so that you inherit the land of your sojourning, which Elohim gave to Aḇraham.” (Genesis 28:5) Yitsḥaq sent Yaʽaqoḇ away, and he went to Paddan Aram; to Laḇan son of Bethu’ĕl the Aramean, the brother of Riḇqah, the mother of Yaʽaqoḇ and Ěsaw. (Genesis 28:6)  And Ěsaw saw that Yitsḥaq had blessed Yaʽaqoḇ and sent him away to Paddan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “Do not take a wife from the daughters of Kenaʽan,” (Genesis 28:7) and that Yaʽaqoḇ had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. (Genesis 28:8)  So Ěsaw saw that the daughters of Kenaʽan did not please his father Yitsḥaq, (Genesis 28:9)  and Ěsaw went to Yishmaʽĕl and took Maḥalath the daughter of Yishmaʽĕl, Aḇraham’s son, the sister of Neḇayoth, to be his wife, besides the wives he had.
 
YHWH keeps His promise- (blessing or curse)
 
(Malachi 1:1)  The message of the word of יהוה to Yisra’ĕl by Mal’aḵi. (Malachi 1:2) “I have loved you,” said יהוה. “But you asked, ‘In what way have you loved us?’ “Was not Ěsaw Yaʽaqoḇ’s brother?” declares יהוה. “And I love Yaʽaqoḇ, (Malachi 1:3) but I have hated Ěsaw, and have laid waste his mountains and his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” (Malachi 1:4)  If Eḏom says, “We have been beaten down, let us return and build the ruins,” יהוה of hosts said thus: “Let them build, but I tear down. And they shall be called ‘Border of Wrongness’, and the people against whom יהוה is enraged forever. (Malachi 1:5)  And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, ‘Great is יהוה beyond the border of Yisra’ĕl!’ (Malachi 1:6)  “A son esteems his father and a servant his master. And if I am the Father, where is my esteem? And if I am a Master, where is my fear; asked יהוה of hosts to you priests who despise My Name? But you asked, ‘In what way have we despised Your Name?’ (Malachi 1:7)  “You are presenting defiled food on my altar. But you asked, ‘In what way have we defiled you?’ Because you say, ‘The table of יהוה is despicable.’ (Malachi 1:8)  “And when you present the blind as a slaughtering, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? Bring it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 1:9)  “And now, entreat the face of Ěl to show favor to us. This has been done by your hands. Would He show favor to you?” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 1:10)  “Who among you who would shut the doors, so that you would not kindle fire on my altar for naught? I have no pleasure in you,” said יהוה of hosts, “Nor do I accept an offering from your hands. (Malachi 1:11)  “For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My Name is great among nations. And in every place incense is presented to My Name, and a clean offering. For My Name is great among nations,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 1:12)  “But you are profaning me, in that you say, ‘The table of יהוה is defiled, and its fruit, its food, is despicable.’ (Malachi 1:13)  “And you said, ‘Oh, what weariness!’ and you sneered at it,” said יהוה of hosts. and you brought in plunder, and the lame, and the sick – thus you have brought in the offering! Should I accept this from your hand?” said יהוה. (Malachi 1:14)  “But cursed be the deceiver who has a male in his flock, and makes a vow, but is slaughtering (Gifting) to יהוה what is blemished. For I am a great Sovereign,” said יהוה of hosts, “and My Name is feared among nations. (Malachi 2:1)  “And now, O priests, this command is for you. (Malachi 2:2)  “If you do not hear, and if you do not take it to heart, to give esteem to My Name,” said יהוה of hosts, “I shall send a curse upon you, and I shall curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed them, because you do not take it to heart. (Malachi 2:3)  “See, I shall rebuke your seed, and scatter dung before your faces, the dung of your festivals. And you shall be taken away with it. (Malachi 2:4)  “And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, as being my covenant with Lĕwi,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 2:5)  “My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him, to fear. And he feared me, and stood in awe of My Name. (Malachi 2:6)  “The Torah of truth 1 was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and straightness, and turned many away from crookedness. Footnote: 1 Nehemiah 9:13. (Malachi 2:7)  “For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and they seek the Torah from his mouth, for he is the messenger of יהוה of hosts.
 
Not the flesh but the walk is spiritual and by trusting (faith) in Yahshua’s deliverance for us
 
(Romans 9:6)  However, it is not as though the word of Elohim has failed. For they are not all Yisra’ĕl who are of Yisra’ĕl, (Romans 9:7) neither are they all children because they are the seed of Aḇraham, but, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called.” (Romans 9:8)  That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of Elohim, but the children of the promise are reckoned as the seed. (Romans 9:9)  For this is the word of promise, “At this time I shall come and Sarah shall have a son.” (Romans 9:10)  And not only so, but Riḇqah having conceived by one, our father Yitsḥaq. (Romans 9:11)  Yet, before they were born or had done any good or evil – in order that the purpose of Elohim, according to choice, might stand, not of works but of Him who calls (Romans 9:12)  it was said to her, “The greater shall serve the lesser,” (Romans 9:13)  as it has been written, “Yaʽaqoḇ I have loved, but Ěsaw I have hated” One agreed with the plan and words of YHWH, and one rejected those plans and words.
 
 
Loved One, Here is my repeated prayer for you and your loved ones today:  So as we each walk out our deliverance in fear and trembling; this is a holy reverence and awe of our Mighty Elohim. I declare to you and over you loved one and I include the blood of THE LAMB over you- which the destroyer cannot penetrate-; (Ephesians 1:2) Favor to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah. (Ephesians 1:3)  Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Messiah, (Ephesians 1:4)  even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him in love,1 Footnote: 1 2 Thessalonians 2:13. (Ephesians 1:5)  having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through יהושע Messiah to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire, (Ephesians 1:6)  to the praise of the esteem of His favor with which He favored us in the Beloved, (Ephesians 1:7)  in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His favor, (Ephesians 1:8)  which He has lavished on us in all wisdom and insight, (Ephesians 1:9)  having made known to us the secret of His desire, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him, (Ephesians 1:10)  to administer at the completion of time (End of Days), to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him, (Ephesians 1:11)  in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being previously ordained according to the purpose of Him working all matters according to the counsel of His desire, (Ephesians 1:12)  for us to be the praise of His esteem – those having first trusted in Messiah, (Ephesians 1:13)  in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your deliverance, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Set-apart Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:14)  who is the pledge of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His esteem. (Ephesians 1:15)  For this reason I too, having heard of your belief 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 (GLORY), would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (Ephesians 1:18)  the eyes of your understanding1 being enlightened, so that you know what is the expectation of His calling, (Our true destinies) and what are the riches of the esteem (glory) 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. 
 
I love this prayer as it puts hasatan under our feet and establishes in the heavenly realm who we really are! Thanks for your targeted prayers for us- you are much loved and they are our lifeline! Praise Him who made Heaven and Earth! Hallelu-YAH! You guys brought immediate deliverance from heaven for us this week! THANK YOU! You are the greatest brothers and sisters on the planet! Hallelu-YAH!
 
Shalom to your home loved one,

Continued explanation of 2015-16 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months…
 
It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we may be walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
 
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
