Shabbat Shalom Loved
One!
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…
WE NEED
INTIMACY TO OVERCOME AND ACT TO DO EXPLOITS: ‘Not by might nor
by power, but by My Spirit,’ said יהוה of hosts.
Walking in these days
will require we walk like Yahshua walked- in His supernatural, wisdom, love and
power. Consider Dr. Bruce Allen (each 28 min)

Loved One; we really
must review what our study led us to last week- the importance of not
fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! Last
week we considered the power of our words agreeing with Him
and how intimacy in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the
praises of His people! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power
of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
Fear has no place on the Ruach HaKodesh filled believer-
when it is allowed it comes from trusting in hasatan’s power and the storm to
do evil against us rather than trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us!
Obviously spirits of the enemy hasatan cannot
hang around when YHWH is present- just not possible! He informs us to put on
the spirit of praise for the spirit(s) of heaviness- ha ha- we win by entering
His presence! REMEMBER
LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine who His
bride is. She (Us) WILL make herself
ready.
Daniel
11:32 “And by flatteries he (Anti-Messiah) shall profane those who
do wrong against the covenant, but the people who know their Elohim shall be
strong, and shall act (DO EXPLOITS in several versions of the
Bible). Daniel 11:33 “And those of the
people who have insight shall give understanding to many. And they shall
stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering, for days. Daniel 11:34 “And when they stumble, they shall be
helped, a little help, but many shall join them, by flatteries. Daniel 11:35 “And some of those who have insight
shall stumble, to refine them, and to cleanse them, and to make them white,
until the time of the end, for it is still for an appointed time.
Quick
Review Loved One: 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
Last week we discussed: WE NEED HIS POWER TO
OVERCOME
and we still do! Today we will review and then go to the only method He assures
us and defines we will have power to be witnesses- and this allows us to
produce real fruit that really remains! Remember the importance of not
fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! Last week we considered the power of our
words agreeing with Him and how intimacy in worship brings
His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people!
DO NOT FEAR! OUR KING IS SITTING ON THE
THRONE! (Revelation 3:10) 'Because you have kept the word of my perseverance, I also
will keep you from the hour of testing, (Comment:
not a pre-tribulation rapture- but His assurance and protection through the
storms) that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those
who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 3:11)
'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have,
so that no one will take your crown. (Revelation
3:12) 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he
will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of my Elohim,
and the name of the city of my Elohim, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out
of heaven from my Elohim, and my new name. (Revelation
3:13) 'He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach HaKodesh says to the assemblies.' (Again, this is not a pre-tribulation
rapture, He promises to protect and use us even in the fiery furnace- so let’s
be usable!) Loved One, who are we
really? Were we really born for such a time as this? Is this really the
“End of the Age”? These
questions are being answered by unfolding events and by our testimony- that is what we say
and what we
do about these unfolding events.
We shall overcome by the Blood of the Lamb of YHWH and our
Testimony or not overcome at all. All Creation is groaning for the sons and
daughters of YHWH to manifest. Seems we will be tried by fire to see if we will
walk by His Ruach (Spirit) or not. YES! We were born at this time to
come alive to our destinies- and walk these days out in HIS victory--
Why is
it so important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?
(Revelation 21:7) He that overcomes
shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:8)
But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
We are not
under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he purposes
to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2 Timothy 1:7) For Elohim has not given us a spirit of
cowardice (Fear), but of power and of
love and of self-control (Sound mind).
We must clean up and make
ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once DRY BONES
to become the restored! We cannot follow those
of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds a lot like
modern Churchianity: (Ezek 22:26)
"Her priests have done
violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
We were
DRY BONES but as Ezekiel prophesied- we are coming alive as His body. Note the three conditions of our warning from
Yahshua below!
Why are these days so critical and we
must truly repent in sackcloth and ashes so to speak? I believe we are in the
last days Laodicean age that Yahshua warned us about:
(Revelation 3:14) "To the
angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: The
Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of YHWH,
says this: (Revelation 3:15) 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish
that you were cold or hot. (Revelation 3:16) 'Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold; I’ll spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:17)
'Because you say, "I am rich, and have
become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you
are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, (Revelation 3:18)
I advise
you to buy from me gold refined by fire (faith-believing-
which is true riches) so that you may become rich, and white garments (Pure and undefiled robes of righteousness)
so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye
salve (spiritual eyes opened) to
anoint your eyes so that you may see. (Revelation 3:19)
'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline;
therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation
3:20) 'Behold,
I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:21)
'He
who overcomes, I will grant to him to
sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father
on His throne.
Good News
Truth Seeker! Time to ARISE AND AWAKEN!
It is our destiny to
seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory realm; His
mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (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. (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 heart1. 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.’ (Genesis 13:17) "Arise, walk about the land through its
length and breadth; for I will give it to you." (Ephesians
5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise
from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isaiah
60:1) “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon
you.
Last week we looked at YHWH’s POWER TWINS
for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they are not
possible for you and I is our UNBELIEF!
Unbelief or belief is the real
TOPIC in the following Scriptures spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND
FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s look closer at why we can
believe that statement: (Mark 9:16)
And He asked them, "What are you discussing with
them?" (Mark 9:17) And one of the crowd answered Him,
"Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him
mute; (Mark 9:18) and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens
out. I told your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it." (Mark 9:19) And He *answered them and *said, "O unbelieving generation,
how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to
me!" (Mark 9:20) They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him,
immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground,
he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. (Mark
9:21) And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?"
And he said, "From childhood.
(Mark 9:22) "It has often thrown him both into the
fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, take pity
on us and help us!" (Mark 9:23) And Yahshua said to him, “‘if you
can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
(Mark 9:24) Immediately the boy's father cried out and
said, "I do believe; help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:25) When Yahshua saw that a crowd was rapidly
gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not
enter him again." (Mark 9:26) After crying out and throwing him into
terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy
became so much like a corpse that most of them
said, "He is dead!" (Mark 9:27) But Yahshua took him by the hand and raised
him; and he got up. (Mark 9:28) When He came into the
house, His disciples began questioning
Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?" (Looking in Matthew) (Matthew 17:20)
And יהושע said to them, “Because of
your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you
have belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here
to there,’ and it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you.
(Matthew 17:21)
“But this kind does not go out except through
prayer and fasting.” So the topic is not some great demon, even the head of all
demons must bow to the name. The problem and topic here is unbelief. We get rid of
unbelief by prayer and fasting! Prayer AND
Fasting, not prayer without fasting or fasting without prayer- THESE ARE
YHWH’S POWER TWINS! If we really want our prayers answered we must be willing to do YHWH’s
requirements. If we really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face
with prayer and fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to
throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the
adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we become under great
fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the
power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and me? NOT IF we pray and fast and overcome! So
let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebraic
or Hebrew thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is
about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is
She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND OBEY!
Let’s learn to fast
and pray and remove our unbelief! We must seek Him with ALL our hearts – then we
are promised we will find Him!
We study His Torah cycle or ancient path we are returning to. (Psalms
119:105)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a
light unto my path. (Isaiah 58:12)
And they that shall be of you
shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many
generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:13)
If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and
call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of YHWH, honorable; and shall honor
him, not
doing your own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking your own
words: (Isaiah 58:14)
Then you shall delight yourself in YHWH; and I will cause you to
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob
thy father: for the mouth of YHWH has spoken it.
That was
much reviewing but critical to our restoration and the walk of power!
Loved One- it is becoming clear that Jacob’s Trouble (Not
the Jews only trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that
you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it
fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more lasting…say
eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be broken and
changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be pulverized and
destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments burned up leaving
nothing but ash? Matthew
21:44 “And he who falls on this stone (The Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on whomever it falls, he
shall be pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Romans 8:10 & 13, Colossians 3:5.
(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.”
What else does Yahshua say about these matters and times? (Luke
21:11) And
great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and
fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:12) But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake. (Luke
21:13) And
it shall turn to you for a testimony. (Luke
21:14) Settle
it therefore in
your hearts, not to meditate before what you shall answer: (Luke 21:15) I will give you
a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor
resist. (Luke 21:16) And you shall be
betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they
cause to be put to death. (Luke 21:17) And you shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake. (Luke
21:18) But
there shall not a hair of your head perish. (Luke
21:19) In your patience possess you your souls.
(Luke 21:20) And when you shall
see Jerusalem compassed with armies, and then know that the desolation thereof
is nigh. (Luke 21:21) Then let them which
are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it
depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there. (Luke 21:22) For these are the Days
of Vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Luke 21:23) But woes unto them that are with child and to them that give
suck, in those days! There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people. (Luke 21:24) And they shall fall
by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Genesistiles (Goyim-heathen), until the times of the Genesistiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:25) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:26) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be
shaken. (Luke
21:27) And
then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory. (Luke 21:28) And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your
redemption draws nigh. (Luke 21:29) And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; (Luke 21:30) When they now
shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at
hand. (Luke 21:31) So likewise you, when
you see these things come to pass, know you that the Kingdom of YHWH is nigh at
hand. (Luke 21:32) Verily I say unto
you, this generation shall not pass
away, till all is fulfilled. (What
generation? The generation that sees these things start and then come to pass!)
(Luke 21:33) Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. (Luke 21:34) And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and
so that day come
upon you unawares. (Luke 21:35) As a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (Luke 21:36) You watch you
therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these
things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Of course the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua
having produced fruit that will remain!
Our Words direct us! Start today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize
some Scripture daily
Matthew
12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he
who does not gather with me scatters abroad. Matthew
12:31 “Because of this I say to you, all sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the
blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men. (Comment-
this is declaring the works of the Ruach to be of the devil-such as assigning
Yahshua casting out devils to Beelzebub- Luke 11:18 “So if Satan also is divided against
himself, how shall his reign stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beʽelzebul.
Luke 11:19 “Now if I cast out demons by Beʽelzebul,
by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they shall be your judges. Luke 11:20 “But if I cast out demons by the finger of
Elohim, then the reign of Elohim has come upon you.) -Matthew
12:32 “And
whoever speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be
forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12:33 “Either make the tree
good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for
a tree is known by its fruit. Matthew 12:34
“Brood of adders! How are you able to speak what is
good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
Matthew 12:35 “The good man brings forth what is good from
the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked
from the wicked treasure. Matthew 12:36
“And I say to
you that for every idle word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the
Day of Judgment. Matthew 12:37 “For by your words
you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous.”
(Condemned)
If no man
(male or female) can tame the tongue, which yields our
direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship; how then can
our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers”
putting down others and building their own kingdoms- which of course will be
burned with fire! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and
those loving it eat its fruit.
(James
3:1) Not many of you should
become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
(James 3:2) For
we all stumble in many matters. If anyone does not stumble in word, he
is a perfect (mature) man, able also to bridle the entire
body. (James 3:3) Look, we put bits in the mouths of horses,
for them to obey us, and we turn their body. (James
3:4) Look at the ships too:
although they are so big and are driven by strong winds, they are turned by a
very small rudder wherever the pilot intends. (James
3:5) So too the tongue is a
little member, yet boasts greatly. See how a little fire kindles a great
forest! (James 3:6) And the tongue is a fire, the world of
unrighteousness. Among our members the tongue is set, the one defiling the
entire body, and setting on fire the wheel of life, and it is set on fire by
Gehenna. (James 3:7) For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile
and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. (James 3:8) But no man is able to tame the tongue. It is unruly,
evil, filled with deadly poison. (We
must willingly submit our tongues to Yahweh- He alone can use them to direct
our lives) (James 3:9) With it we bless our Elohim and Father, and
with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of Elohim. (James 3:10) Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and
cursing. My brothers, this should not be so. (James
3:11) Does the fountain send
forth the sweet and the bitter from the same opening? (James
3:12) My brothers, is a fig tree
able to bear olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither is a fountain able to
make salt and sweet water. (James 3:13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
him show by his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom. (James 3:14) But
if you have bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast
against and lie against the truth. (James 3:15) This is not the wisdom coming down from
above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. (James
3:16) For where jealousy and
self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed. (James 3:17)
But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready
to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy.
Yahshua (Jesus) is the Baptizer in the Holy- Set Apart
Spirit and Fire and The Righteous Judge with the ax! We need His power and His
baptizing us in His Spirit to overcome and be real witnesses for His Kingdom
and that is the KING’S DOMAIN! We must consider carefully and not reject the
Ruach- you and I will lose much if we do.
(Matthew 3:10) “And the ax is already laid to the root of
the trees. Every tree, then, which does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. (Matthew 3:11) “I
indeed (Yah Channan- Yah’s mercy or John)
immerse (baptize) you in water unto
repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I
am not worthy to bear. He
shall immerse (baptize) you in the
Set-apart Spirit and fire. (Yahshua!)
If no man can tame his tongue; then it would seem obvious that
only...Only…ONLY by us yielding our
tongues to Yahshua will they be tamed and directed! That is why He warned us: (Luke 11:11) “And what
father among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks
for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, (Luke 11:12) or if he asks for an egg shall give him
a scorpion? (Comment: snakes and
scorpions are indicative of the demonic realm He gave us power over in Luke
10:19) (Luke 11:13) “If you then, being wicked, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give
the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit)
to those asking Him!” What Yahshua is hinting
and teaching about is that we will need to trust Him and receive His Spirit
baptism and yes, thank YHWH, a prayer language in unknown tongues that no man
understands as we offer mysteries (questions)
that YHWH alone understands. (1 Corinthians 14:2) For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto
YHWH: for no man understands him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries. (1
Corinthians 14:14) For if I pray
in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays,
but my understanding is unfruitful. (1 Corinthians
14:15) What is it then? I will
pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing
with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Summarizing: YHWH knew we could produce no fruit that would remain. (John 15:5) I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the
same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:6) If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and
is withered; and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7) If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask
what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John
15:8) Herein
is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father hath
loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. (John 15:10) If you keep my
commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in His love. John 15:16
You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you. Knowing that we
will produce no fruit that remains on our own, He provided a method for us to
walk in His power and His Spirit- He only requires that we trust Him and yield
our tongues (Direction like a bridle on a
horse or a rudder on a ship) (Act 1:8) But you shall receive power, after that the Set
Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
Then immediately after this they all
received a prayer language in Acts 2:4! Listen Loved One, do not think you or I
will produce ANY fruit that will remain apart from His Holy Spirit directing
you- don’t be prideful. Submit (Humble
ourselves) to YHWH and the devil will flee- If we don’t submit our tongues;
hasatan will continue to dominate us. Hint: they spoke as the Spirit gave
utterance- you will have to open your mouth to speak if or most likely when-
you ask Yahshua to give you a supernatural prayer language and baptize you in
His Spirit. Since you are already one of the 10 virgins (born again spiritually) seems natural intelligence to become of the
5 virgins who have enough oil (power) to
enter the Wedding Feast. Yield and hunger for His help and righteousness TODAY
while He may be found and watch the devil flee as you are FILLED! Whoever
hungers and thirsts for righteousness WILL BE FILLED! Get HUNGRY for Him!
Here’s
the picture warning from Yahshua of us last day’s Assembly of believers ad why
we MUST have His power! Revelation 3:11 “See, I am
coming speedily! Hold what you have that no one take your crown. Revelation 3:12

This week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayeshev “And He Settled”
Genesis
37:1- 40:23; Amos 2:6-3:8; Zechariah 2:14- 4:7; Acts 7: 9-16
Sometimes we want to share
our prophetic dreams, visions revelations and understandings; it usually brings
hasatan and his evil forces to block YHWH’s plans and strategies temporarily!
(Genesis 37:1)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
dwelt in the land of his father’s
sojourning, in the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 37:2) this is the genealogy of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Yosĕph,
being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the
young man was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s
wives. And Yosĕph brought an evil report of them to his father. (Genesis 37:3)
And Yisra’ĕl loved Yosĕph more than all his children, because he was the
son of his old age. And he made him a long robe. (Genesis
37:4) But when his brothers saw
that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were
not able to speak peaceably to him. (Genesis 37:5) And Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to
his brothers. So they hated him even more. (Genesis
37:6) And he said to them, “Please
listen to this dream which I have dreamed: (Genesis
37:7) “See, we were binding
sheaves in the midst of the field, and see, my sheaf rose up and also stood up.
And see, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” (Genesis 37:8)
And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Shall you
indeed rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his
words. (Genesis 37:9) And he dreamed still another dream and
related it to his brothers, and said, “See, I have dreamed another dream, and
see, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” (Genesis 37:10)
And he related it to his father and his brothers. And his father rebuked
him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall we, your
mother and I and your brothers, indeed come to bow down to the earth before
you?” (Genesis 37:11) And his brothers envied him, but his father
guarded the word. (Genesis 37:12) And his brothers went to feed their father’s
flock in Sheḵem. (Genesis 37:13)
And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock
in Sheḵem? Come, I send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.” (Genesis
37:14) And he said to him,
“Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the sheep,
and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Ḥeḇron,
and he went to Sheḵem. (Genesis 37:15)
And a certain man found him, and see, he was wandering in the field. And
the man asked him, saying, “What do you seek?” (Genesis
37:16) And he said, “I am seeking
my brothers. Please inform me where they are feeding their sheep.” (Genesis 37:17)
And the man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go
towards Dothan.’ ” So Yosĕph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan. (Genesis 37:18)
And they saw him from a distance, and before he came near them, they
plotted against him, to kill him. (Genesis 37:19) And they said to each other, “See, this
master of dreams is coming! (Genesis 37:20) “Now, then, come and let us now kill him and
throw him into some pit, and shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ Let
us then see what comes of his dreams!”
One Torah keeper among them who would not shed innocent blood!
(Genesis 37:21) But Re’uḇĕn heard and
rescued him from their hands, and said, “Let us not take his life.”
(Genesis 37:22)
And Re’uḇĕn said to them, “Shed
no blood. Throw him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a
hand on him” – in order to rescue him out of their hands, and bring him back to
his father. (Genesis 37:23) So it came to be, when Yosĕph had come to his
brothers, that they stripped Yosĕph of his robe, the long robe which was on
him. (Genesis 37:24) And they took him and threw him into a pit.
And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. (Genesis
37:25) And they sat down to eat a
meal. And they lifted their eyes and looked and saw a company of Yishmaʽĕlites, coming from Gilʽaḏ
with their camels, bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, and going to take them
down to Mitsrayim. (Genesis 37:26) And Yehuḏah
said to his brothers, “What would we gain if we kill our brother and conceal
his blood? (Genesis 37:27) “Come and let us sell him to the Yishmaʽĕlites, and let not our hand be
upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh.” And his brothers listened. (Genesis
37:28) And men, Miḏyanite
traders passed by, so they pulled Yosĕph
up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Yishmaʽĕlites for twenty pieces of
silver. And they took Yosĕph
to Mitsrayim. (Genesis 37:29) And Re’uḇĕn returned to the pit, and see,
Yosĕph
was not in the pit. And he tore his garments. (Genesis
37:30) And he returned to his
brothers and said, “The boy is gone! And I, where am I to go?” (Genesis 37:31)
So they took Yosĕph’s robe, killed a male goat, and dipped the robe in
the blood, (Genesis 37:32) and sent the long
robe and brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Please look,
is it the robe of your son or not?” (Genesis 37:33) And he recognized it and said, “It is my
son’s robe. An evil beast has devoured him. Yosĕph is torn, torn to pieces.” (Genesis 37:34)
And Yaʽaqoḇ
tore his garments, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many
days. (Genesis 37:35) And all his sons and all his daughters arose
to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “Now let me go
down into the grave to my son in mourning.” So his father wept for him. (Genesis 37:36)
And the Miḏanites had
sold him in Mitsrayim to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the
guard.
Note how easy it is for us to judge others and not so easy to
judge ourselves righteously
(Genesis 38:1)
And at that time it came to be that Yehuḏah
left his brothers, and turned aside to a man, an Aḏullamite
whose name was Ḥirah. (Genesis 38:2) And Yehuḏah
saw there a daughter of a certain Kenaʽanite whose
name was Shuwa. And he took her and went in to her. (Genesis
38:3) So she conceived and bore a
son, and he called his name Ěr. (Genesis 38:4) and
she conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. (Genesis 38:5)
And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shĕlah.
And he was at Keziḇ when she
bore him. (Genesis 38:6) And Yehuḏah
took a wife for Ěr
his first-born, and her name was Tamar. (Genesis 38:7) But Ěr, Yehuḏah’s first-born, was evil in the
eyes of יהוה, and יהוה took his life. (Genesis 38:8) And Yehuḏah said to
Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and rise up an heir to your
brother.” (Genesis 38:9) And Onan knew that the offspring would not be
his. And it came to be, when he went in to his brother’s wife that he spilled
on the ground, lest he should give an offspring to his brother. (Genesis 38:10)
But what he did displeased יהוה, so He took
his life too. (Genesis 38:11) Then Yehuḏah said to
Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a
widow in your father’s house
until my son Shĕlah is grown.” He said,
“Lest he also die as his brothers did.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her
father’s house. (Genesis 38:12) And after a long time the daughter of Shuwa,
Yehuḏah’s wife, died. And Yehuḏah was
comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers at Timnah, he and his friend
Ḥirah the Aḏullamite. (Genesis 38:13) And it was reported to Tamar, saying, “See,
your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” (Genesis 38:14)
And she took off her widow’s garments, and covered herself with a veil
and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Ěnayim which was on the way to
Timnah. For she saw that Shĕlah was grown, and she was not given to him as a
wife. (Genesis 38:15) And Yehuḏah saw
her, and reckoned her for a whore, for she had covered her face. (Genesis 38:16)
And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in
to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said,
“What do you give me to come in to me?” (Genesis
38:17) And he said, “Let me send
you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “Do you give me a pledge until
you send it?” (Genesis 38:18) So he said, “What pledge should I give you?”
And she said, “Your seal and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.”
And he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. (Genesis 38:19)
And she arose and went away, and removed her veil and put on the
garments of her widowhood. (Genesis 38:20) And Yehuḏah sent
the young goat by the hand of his friend the Aḏullamite,
to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand,
but he did not find her. (Genesis 38:21) And he asked the men of that place, saying,
“Where is the cult prostitute who was beside the way to Ěnayim?” And they said,
“There was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Genesis
38:22) And he returned to Yehuḏah and
said, “I have not found her. And the men of the place also said
there was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Genesis
38:23) And Yehuḏah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we become despised,
for I sent this young goat and you have not found her.” (Genesis 38:24) And it came to be, about three months after
that Yehuḏah was informed, saying, “Tamar your
daughter-in-law has whored, and see, she has conceived by whoring.” And Yehuḏah said, “Bring her
out and let her be burned!” (Genesis 38:25)
When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the
man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please examine whose
these are: the seal and the cord and the staff.” (Genesis
38:26) And Yehuḏah
examined and said, “She has been more righteous than I, because I did not
give her to Shĕlah my son.” And he never knew her again. (Genesis 38:27)
And it came to be, at the time for giving birth that see, twins were in
her womb. (Genesis 38:28) And it came to be, when she was giving birth,
that the one put out his hand. And the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound
it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” (Genesis
38:29) And it came to be, as he
drew back his hand that see, his brother came out! And she said, “How did you
break through? This breach be upon you!” So his name was called Perets. (Genesis 38:30)
And afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his
hand. So his name was called Zeraḥ.
Sexual fornication and immorality is a tool
hasatan will use against us to test who we are also! We MUST guard our
eye-gates and ear-gates- remember the eyes are windows to our souls.
(Genesis 39:1)
And Yosĕph had been taken down to Mitsrayim. And Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh, captain of the guard, a Mitsrite, bought him from the Yishmaʽĕlites who had taken him down
there. (Genesis 39:2) And it came to be that יהוה was with
Yosĕph, and he became a prosperous man, and was in the house of his master the
Mitsrite. (Genesis 39:3) And his master saw that יהוה was with him
and that יהוה made all he did to prosper in his hand. (Genesis 39:4) So Yosĕph
found favor in his eyes, and served him, and he appointed him over his house,
and gave into his hand all that he had. (Genesis 39:5) And it came to be, from the time that he
appointed him over his house and all that he had, that יהוה blessed the
Mitsrite’s house for Yosĕph’s sake. And the blessing of יהוה was on all
that he had in the house and in the field. (Genesis
39:6) And he left in Yosĕph’s
hand all that he had, and he did not know what he had except for the bread
which he ate. And Yosĕph was handsome in form and appearance. (Genesis 39:7)
And after these events it came to be that his master’s wife lifted up
her eyes to Yosĕph and said, “Lie with me.” (Genesis
39:8) But he refused and said to
his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house,
and he has given into my hand all that he has. (Genesis
39:9) “No one is greater in this
house than I, and he has not withheld whatever from me but you, because you are
his wife. And how shall I do this great evil and sin against Elohim?” (Genesis 39:10)
And it came to be, as she spoke to Yosĕph day by day, that he did not
listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her. (Genesis
39:11) And it came to be on a
certain day, when Yosĕph went into the house to do his work, and none of the
men of the house was inside, (Genesis 39:12) that she caught him by his garment, saying,
“Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. (Genesis 39:13)
And it came to be, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand
and fled outside, (Genesis 39:14) that she called to the men of her house and
spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Heḇrew to
mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. (Genesis 39:15)
“And it came to be, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out,
that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” (Genesis 39:16)
And she kept his garment with her until his master came home. (Genesis 39:17)
And she spoke to him these same words, saying, “The Heḇrew
servant whom you brought to us came in to me, to mock me, (Genesis 39:18)
so it came to be, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his
garment with me and fled outside.” (Genesis 39:19) And it came to be, when his master heard the
words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me according to
these words,” that his displeasure burned. (Genesis
39:20) Then Yosĕph’s master took
him and put him into the prison, a place where the sovereign’s prisoners were
confined. And he was there in the prison. (Genesis
39:21) But יהוה was with
Yosĕph and extended kindness to him, and He gave him favor in the eyes of the
prison warden. (Genesis 39:22) And the prison warden gave into the hand of
Yosĕph all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whatever was done there
was his doing. (Genesis 39:23) The prison warden did not look into any point
that was under Yosĕph’s hand, because יהוה was with him.
And whatever he did, יהוה made it prosper.
After great fiery trials and character
development- we also will be promoted with YHWH’s wisdom!
(Genesis 40:1)
And after these events it came to be that the cupbearer and the baker of
the sovereign of Mitsrayim sinned against their master, the sovereign of
Mitsrayim. (Genesis 40:2) And Pharaoh was wroth with his two officers, the
chief cupbearer and the chief baker. (Genesis 40:3) So he put them in confinement in the house of
the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Yosĕph was a prisoner.
(Genesis 40:4)
And the captain of the guard put Yosĕph in charge of them, and he served
them. So they were in confinement for some time. (Genesis
40:5) Then the cupbearer and the
baker of the sovereign of Mitsrayim, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a
dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with
its own interpretation. (Genesis 40:6) And Yosĕph came in to them in the morning and
looked at them and saw that they were sad. (Genesis
40:7) And he asked Pharaoh’s
officers who were with him in confinement of his master’s house, saying, “Why
do you look so sad today?” (Genesis 40:8) And they said to him, “We each have dreamed a
dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” And Yosĕph said to them, “Do not
interpretations belong to Elohim? Relate them to me, please.” (Genesis 40:9)
So the chief cupbearer related his dream to Yosĕph, and said to him,
“See, in my dream a vine was before me, (Genesis
40:10) and in the vine were three
branches, and it was as though it budded – its blossoms shot forth, and its
clusters brought forth ripe grapes. (Genesis 40:11) “And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. So I took
the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s
hand.” (Genesis 40:12) And Yosĕph said to him, “This is the
interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. (Genesis 40:13)
“Yet, within three days Pharaoh is going to lift up your head and
restore you to your place, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand
according to the former ruling, when you were his cupbearer. (Genesis 40:14)
“But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me.
And mention me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. (Genesis 40:15)
“Truly I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews.
And also I have done naught that they
should put me into the dungeon.” (Genesis 40:16) And the chief baker saw that the interpretation
was good, and he said to Yosĕph, “I also was in my dream and saw three white
baskets were on my head, (Genesis 40:17) and in
the uppermost basket all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate
them out of the basket on my head.” (Genesis 40:18) And Yosĕph answered and said, “This is the
interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. (Genesis 40:19) “Yet,
within three days Pharaoh is going to lift off your head from you and hang you
on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from you.” (Genesis 40:20)
And on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, it came to be that he made a
feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer
and of the chief baker among his servants, (Genesis
40:21) and he restored the chief cupbearer to his post of cupbearer
again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand, (Genesis
40:22) but he hanged the chief baker, as Yosĕph had interpreted to them.
(Genesis 40:23)
And the chief cupbearer did not remember Yosĕph, but forgot him.
YHWH always reveals what is coming and allows us a means of
obedience and escape!
(Amos 2:6)
Thus said יהוה, “For three transgressions of Yisra’ĕl, and for four, I do not
turn it back, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the poor for a
pair of sandals, (Amos 2:7) who crush the head of the poor ones in the
dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father
go in to the same girl, to defile my set-apart Name. (Amos
2:8) “And they lie down by every
altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their mighty one they
drink the wine of those who have been fined. (Amos
2:9) “Yet I destroyed the Amorites
before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars. And he was as
strong as the oaks, yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from
beneath. (Amos 2:10) “And I brought you up from the land of
Mitsrayim, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land
of the Amorites. (Amos 2:11) “And I rose up some of your sons as prophets,
and some of your young men as Nazirites. Not so? O you children of Yisra’ĕl?”
declares יהוה. (Amos 2:12) “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and
commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’ (Amos
2:13) “See, I am weighed down by
you, as a wagon is weighed down when filled with sheaves. (Amos 2:14)
“And a place to flee shall perish from the swift, and the strong not
strengthen his power, and the mighty not save his life, (Amos 2:15) and he who handles the bow not stand, and the swift of
foot not save, nor he who rides a horse save his life, (Amos
2:16) and the bravest among the mighty flee naked, in that day,”
declares יהוה. (Amos
3:1) Hear this word that יהוה has spoken
against you, O children of Yisra’ĕl, against the entire clan which I brought up
from the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Amos 3:2) “You alone have
I known of all the clans of the earth, therefore I punish you for all your
crookednesses.” (Amos 3:3) Would two walk together, without having met? (Amos 3:4)
Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion
give forth his voice out of his den unless he has caught? (Amos 3:5)
Does a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for
it? Does a snare spring up from the earth, if it has not captured prey? (Amos 3:6) If
a ram’s horn is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If there is
calamity in a city, shall not יהוה have done it? (Amos
3:7) For the Master יהוה
does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:8) A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The
Master יהוה has spoken! Who would not prophesy?
Yahshua removed our guilt and our filthy
garments and gave us robes of righteousness ad by His Spirit- He will deliver
us from every affliction and trials IF we seek Him and His ways with all our
hearts! Below is our shadow picture:
(Zechariah 3:1)
And he showed me Yehoshua the high priest standing before the messenger (Angel) of יהוה, and Satan
standing at his right hand to be an adversary to him. (Zechariah
3:2) And יהוה said to Satan,
“יהוה rebuke you, Satan! יהוה who has chosen
Yerushalayim rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” (Zechariah 3:3)
And Yehoshua was dressed in filthy garments, and was standing before the
messenger. (Zechariah 3:4) And He answered and spoke to those who stood
before Him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have
removed your guilt from you, and shall put costly robes on you.” (Zechariah 3:5)
And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” Then they put a clean
turban on his head, and they put garments on him. And the messenger of יהוה stood by. (Zechariah 3:6)
And the messenger of יהוה witnessed to Yehoshua, saying, (Zechariah 3:7) “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘If
you walk in my ways, and if you guard my duty, then you shall also rule my
house, and also guard my courts. And I shall give you access among these
standing here. (Zechariah 3:8) ‘Now listen, Yehoshua the high priest, you
and your companions who sit before you, for they are men of symbol. For look, I
am bringing forth My Servant – the Branch 1.
Footnote: 1 Or Sprout. See Isaiah
4:2, Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5, Jeremiah 33:15, Zechariah. 6:12. (Zechariah 3:9) ‘See the stone which I have put before
Yehoshua: on one stone are seven eyes. See, I am engraving its inscription,’
declares יהוה of hosts, ‘and I shall remove the guilt of that land in one
day. (Zechariah 3:10) ‘In that day,’ (Hebrew idiom for Day of the Lord or Jacob’s Troubles aka the
Tribulation and the Day of Vengeance of our Elohim) declares יהוה of hosts, ‘you
shall invite one another, under the vine and under the fig tree.’ ” (Time of REST)
(Zechariah 4:1) and the messenger who was speaking to me
came back and woke me up as a man is awakened from sleep. (Zechariah 4:2)
And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I have looked, and
see: a lampstand all of gold with a bowl on top of it and on the stand seven
lamps with seven spouts to the seven lamps. (Zechariah
4:3) “And two olive trees are by
it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” (Zechariah 4:4)
Then I responded and spoke to the messenger who was speaking to me,
saying, “What are these, my master?” (Zechariah 4:5) And the messenger who was speaking to me
answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my
master.” (Zechariah 4:6) And he answered and said to me, “This is the
word of יהוה to Zerubbaḇel, ‘Not by might nor
by power, but by My Spirit,’ said יהוה of hosts. (Zechariah 4:7) ‘Who are you, Great Mountain,
before Zerubbaḇel? A plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with
shouts of “Favor, favor (Grace grace or
mercy) to it!” ’ ”
Like Joseph, we too are becoming manifested
as the sons of YHWH and will be delivered from all our afflictions- even future
scarcity of food and other distresses!
(Act 7:9) “And the ancestors, becoming jealous,
sold Yosĕph into Mitsrayim. But Elohim was with him, (Act 7:10) and delivered him out
of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before
Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim. And he appointed him governor over Mitsrayim
and his entire house. (Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress
came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.
(Act 7:12)
“But Yaʽaqoḇ
heard that there was grain in Mitsrayim, and he sent out our fathers the first
time, (Act 7:13) and at the second time Yosĕph
was made known to his brothers, and Yosĕph’s race became known to the Pharaoh. (Act 7:14)
“And Yosĕph sent and called his father Yaʽaqoḇ
and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. (Act
7:15) “And Yaʽaqoḇ
went down to Mitsrayim, and died, he and our fathers, (Act
7:16) and they were brought over
to Sheḵem and laid in the tomb that Aḇraham
bought for a price of silver from the sons of Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem.
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful
and targeted prayers for us- your prayers are a lifeline to the Kingdom! My
final prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW fast and pray and OVERCOME our
own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF and have victory overcoming prayer on
all our prayer fronts! Further, that we move our lives and direction and focus
on Yahweh and take on His nature. This will glorify our Father in Heaven! May
Yahweh smother you with His LOVE!

(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

since we are the ten (Ten
scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which

8:22) ‘And many peoples and
strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in
Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah

those days (Now? YES and in the
future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim
and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying,
“Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
