Shabbat Shalom Loved One!  

This study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES!  Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered! 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…

 
WHAT IS TREASURE TO US?
 
NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU CALL HOME- hasatan IS MAKING his MOVE- and righteousness is out the window. They call evil- good and good evil. Darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the people. Those who remain blinded will lose all freedom. As the wickedness pours out over us- Yahweh’s overcoming miraculous power, light, and love overwhelms the lovers of His soul! We draw NEAR! Does the scripture below seem like your country?
 
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! Isaiah 5:22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Isaiah 5:23 who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous man! Isaiah 5:24 Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom will ascend like dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 5:25 Therefore the anger of Yahweh is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them and stricken them, and the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 5:26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, and will whistle to them from the end of the earth; surely they shall come with speed, swiftly. Isaiah 5:27 No one will be weary or stumble among them, No one will slumber or sleep; nor will the belt on their loins be loosed, Nor the strap of their sandals be broken; Isaiah 5:28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hooves will seem like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. Isaiah 5:29 their roaring will be like a lion, they will roar like young lions; Yes, they will roar And lay hold of the prey; They will carry it away safely, And no one will deliver. Isaiah 5:30 In that day they will roar against them Like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and sorrow; and the light is darkened by the clouds.
 
 
 
IT has become hate crime to quote Yahweh’s word. Still most of the world and “believers” are fast asleep. TODAY is INDEPENDENCE DAY in the USA. What is of value to us? Does it agree with what is treasure to our Messiah? Is it freedom, money, stuff, and the right to do as we want- which many consider INDEPENDENCE? Do we understand that our rebellion against the Creator removes us from His care and provision? Let’s look at a scripture lesson on Yahweh’s thoughts on our treason in rebellion to His instructions, when we separate ourselves from His ways. You and I know that His ways were created to bless those who would follow them.
 
1 Samuel 15:22 Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and slaughtering’s, as in obeying the voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an offering, to heed is better than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of divination (Witchcraft), and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does reject you as sovereign.” 1 Samuel 15:24 And Sha’ul said to Shemu’ĕl, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the command of יהוה and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice. 1 Samuel 15:25 “And now, please pardon my sin, and return with me, and let me bow myself to יהוה.” 1 Samuel 15:26 But Shemu’ĕl said to Sha’ul, “I do not return with you, for you have rejected the word of יהוה, and יהוה does reject you from being sovereign over Yisra’ĕl.”  1 Samuel 15:27 and as Shemu’ĕl turned around to go away, Sha’ul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore. 1 Samuel 15:28 And Shemu’ĕl said to him, “יהוה has torn the reign of Yisra’ĕl from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, better than you. 1 Samuel 15:29 “Moreover, the Eminence of Yisra’ĕl does not lie nor relent. For He is not a man that He should relent.” 1 Samuel 15:30 Then he said, “I have sinned. But esteem me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Yisra’ĕl, and return with me, and I shall bow myself to יהוה your Elohim.” 1 Samuel 15:31 And Shemu’ĕl turned back after Sha’ul, and Sha’ul bowed himself to יהוה. 1 Samuel 15:32 And Shemu’ĕl said, “Bring Aḡaḡ sovereign of the Amalĕqites here to me.” So Aḡaḡ came to him delightedly, and Aḡaḡ said, “Truly, the bitterness of death has turned aside.” 1 Samuel 15:33 And Shemu’ĕl said, “As your sword bereaved women, let your mother be bereaved among women too.” Shemu’ĕl then hewed Aḡaḡ to pieces before יהוה in Gilgal.
 
His Treasure are people and relationships- those that willingly submit and obey Him. We can see it is all about RELATIONSHIP from a loving heart- it is about how we treat Yahweh and how we treat people--- it is about our decision to humble ourselves and download His love to give to others. Disobedience always brings a curse- not a blessing. Recently the USA determined that the “Law of the Land is sodomy. Do we really thing Sodom and Gomorrah will not apply to us? What arrogance and stupidity! The prideful will not only be brought low- but by FIRE! Consider again seeing the You Tube studies by Gil Broussard on Planet 7X. It is biblical. It is coming.
 
Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the great command in the Torah?” Matthew 22:37 and יהושע said to him, “‘you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:38 “This is the first and great command. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.Matthew 22:40 “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”
 
 
Exodus 19:5  ‘And now, if you diligently obey My voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is Mine – Exodus 19:6  ‘and you shall be to Me a reign of priests and a set-apart nation.’ Those are the words which you are to speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” Exodus 19:7 And Mosheh came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which יהוה commanded him.
 
 
(Matthew 6:19)  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, (Matthew 6:20)  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:21)  “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also. (Matthew 6:22)  “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, all your body shall be enlightened. (Matthew 6:23)  “But if your eye is evil, 1 all your body shall be darkened. If, then, the light that is within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Footnote: This is a Heḇrew idiom – a good eye means to be generous, while an evil eye means to be stingy. (Matthew 6:24)  “No one is able to serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.1 Footnote: Personification of wealth. (Matthew 6:25)  “Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink, or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the clothing? (Matthew 6:26)  “Look at the birds of the heaven, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father does feed them. Are you not worth more than they? (Matthew 6:27)  “And which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span? (Matthew 6:28)  “So why do you worry about clothing? Note well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil or spin, (Matthew 6:29) and I say to you that even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these. (Matthew 6:30)  “But if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief? (Matthew 6:31)  “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ (Matthew 6:32)  “For all these the gentiles seek for. And your heavenly Father knows that you need all these. (Matthew 6:33)  “But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these matters shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:34)  Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.
 

THINK ON THE SCRIPTURE PROMISES OF YHWH AND SPEAK THEM- NOT THE FACTS!

(Philippians 4:4)  Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5)  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6)  Do not worry at all, (Be anxious for nothing) but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7)  And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8)  For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these. (The Scripture Promises)
 

DO NOT FEAR- BUT ONLY BELIEVE! Good advice from Yahshua is for us today as we will be tested with apparently overwhelming storms and facts; (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)  Having heard the word that was spoken, יהושע said to the ruler of the congregation, Do not be afraid – only believe.”
 
ASV (Mark 5:35) While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further? (Mark 5:36)  But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
 
 
We will need YHWH’s power to walk and produce fruit during these months preceding the 42 months of Great Tribulation when the anti-messiah (antichrist) rules after he takes away the daily sacrifice. (Daily offering not started up again in Israel yet) This is who we become: the 2 witnesses in HIS HAND- JUDAH & EPHRAIM! Hallelu-Yah- let us repent continually; draw near and know our Elohim!
 
As a quick review from last week; let’s look again at several Scripture Versions:  
 
KJV (Daniel 11:31) and arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. (Daniel 11:32)  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
 
ASV (Daniel 11:31) and forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate. (Daniel 11:32)  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
 
The Scriptures
(Daniel 11:31)  “And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the abomination that lays waste1. Footnote: 1See 8:13, 9:27, Mt.24:15. (Daniel 11:32)  “And by flatteries he shall profane those who do wrong against the covenant, but the people who know their Elohim shall be strong, and shall act.
 
WE will do exploits as we yield and submit to His word and become our destiny- no more dry bones but A MIGHTY WITNESS IN HIS HANDS!
 
(Ezekiel 37:1)  The hand of יהוה was upon me and took me out by the Spirit of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the valley. And it was filled with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2)  And He made me pass among them, all around, and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3)  And He said to me, “Son of man, would these bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה, you know.” (Ezekiel 37:4)  Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and you shall say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5)  ‘Thus said the Master יהוה to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6)  “And I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you with skin and put a spirit in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” ’ ”
 
Apparently it will seem hopeless as our expectancy will be cut off! (Such as reported “facts” as mentioned above) Without hope we will be faithless as faith is the thing “hoped for” or the Scripture promise not yet seen!
 
 
(Ezekiel 37:11)  And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See, they say, Our bones are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we ourselves have been cut off!’ (Ezekiel 37:12)  “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O My people, I am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your graves, and shall bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 37:13)  “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from your graves. (Ezekiel 37:14)  “And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’ ”
 
Our scattering will soon end as we are being restored! We WILL become mighty witnesses and do exploits and be returned to the mountains of Israel
 
 
(Ezekiel 37:15) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 37:16) “And you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it, ‘For Yehuḏah and for the children of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosĕph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for all the house of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ (Ezekiel 37:17)  “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand. (Ezekiel 37:18)  “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’ (Ezekiel 37:19) say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Yehuḏah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.” ’ (Ezekiel 37:20) “And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. (Ezekiel 37:21)  “And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, See, I am taking the children of Yisra’ĕl from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land. (Ezekiel 37:22)  “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns. (Ezekiel 37:23)  “And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim, (Ezekiel 37:24) while Dawiḏ my servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in my right-rulings and guard my laws, and shall do them. (Ezekiel 37:25)  “And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaʽaqoḇ my servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, forever, and my servant Dawiḏ be their prince forever. (Ezekiel 37:26)  And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting covenant it is with them. And I shall place them and increase them, and shall place my set-apart place in their midst, forever. (Ezekiel 37:27)  “And My Dwelling Place shall be over them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. (Ezekiel 37:28)  “And the gentiles shall know that I, יהוה, am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when my set-apart place is in their midst – forever.” ’ ”
 
 
Now we speak no more careless words but we speak His words of agreement about ourselves and we become who He is restoring us to become- HIS WITNESSES!
 
(Matthew 12:34)   “You 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 (careless) word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the Day of Judegment. (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.
 
Will we murmur and complain with our words like our forefathers of the faith did- or build up our Faith/belief/trust by praying in the Ruach?
 
(Jude 1:16)  These are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts, and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of gain. (Jude 1:17)  But you, beloved ones, remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Jude 1:18) because they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts. (Jude 1:19)  These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. (Jude 1:20) But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart Spirit, (Praying in the Holy Spirit or unknown tongues) (Jude 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim, looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah unto everlasting life.
 
(1 Corinthians 14:14)  For if I am praying in a (Unknown) tongue, my spirit is praying, but my understanding is without fruit. (1 Corinthians 14:15)  What then is it? I shall pray with the spirit, and I shall also pray with the understanding. I shall sing with the spirit, and I shall also sing with the understanding.
 
Understanding our WORDS must agree with His from this day forward for our witness to be usable and continue- let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:


This week’s Torah Scriptures: Bo “Enter- Go- Come”

Exodus 10:1-13:16; Jeremiah 46:13-28; 1 Corinthians 11:20-34
 
The shadow picture of The Book of Revelation- (Judgment of the false gods)
 
(Exodus 10:1)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that I show these signs of mine before him, (Exodus 10:2) and that you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in Mitsrayim, and my signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” (Exodus 10:3)  And Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they serve me. (Exodus 10:4)  ‘Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders. (Exodus 10:5)  ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field. (Exodus 10:6)  ‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. (Exodus 10:7)  And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?” (Exodus 10:8)  And Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve יהוה your Elohim. Who are the ones that are going?” (Exodus 10:9)  And Mosheh said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival to יהוה.” (Exodus 10:10)  And he said to them, “Let יהוה be with you as I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face! (Exodus 10:11)  “Not so! You men go now, and serve יהוה, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh. (Exodus 10:12)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts to come upon the land of Mitsrayim, and eat every plant of the land – all that the hail has left.” (Exodus 10:13)  And Mosheh stretched out his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. Morning came, and the east wind brought the locusts. (Exodus 10:14)  And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the borders of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been locusts like them before, nor would there again be like them. (Exodus 10:15)  And they covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left, and no greenness was left on the trees or on the plants of the field, in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 10:16)  Pharaoh then called for Mosheh and Aharon in haste, and said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you. (Exodus 10:17)  “And now, please forgive my sin only this once, and pray to יהוה your Elohim, that He would only turn away this death from me.” (Exodus 10:18)  And he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה. (Exodus 10:19)  And יהוה turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust was left within all the border of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 10:20)  However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go. (Exodus 10:21)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt. (Exodus 10:22)  And Mosheh stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days. (Exodus 10:23)  They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings. (Exodus 10:24)  And Pharaoh called to Mosheh and said, “Go, serve יהוה, and only leave your flocks and your herds behind. Let your little ones go with you too.” (Exodus 10:25)  But Mosheh said, “You yourself are to provide us with slaughterings and burnt offerings, to prepare for יהוה our Elohim. (Exodus 10:26)  “And our livestock are to go with us too, not a hoof is to be left behind, for we have to take some of them to serve יהוה our Elohim, and we ourselves do not know with what we are to serve יהוה until we come there.” (Exodus 10:27)  However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not let them go. (Exodus 10:28)  And Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Watch yourself and see my face no more, for in the day you see my face you die!” (Exodus 10:29)  And Mosheh said, “You have spoken rightly – never again do I see your face!”
 
Wealth Transfer as worshipers of YHWH will not be denied whatever they have desire of to worship in Spirit and Truth!
 
 (Exodus 11:1)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I am bringing yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. After that he is going to let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall drive you out from here altogether. (Exodus 11:2)  “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, objects of silver and objects of gold.” (Exodus 11:3)  And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites. And the man Mosheh was very great in the land of Mitsrayim, in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people. (Exodus 11:4)  And Mosheh said, “Thus said יהוה, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim, (Exodus 11:5)  and all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female servant who is behind the hand mill, and all the first-born of cattle. (Exodus 11:6)  ‘And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has never been or ever be again. (Exodus 11:7)  ‘But against any of the children of Yisra’ĕl no dog shall move its tongue, against man or against beast, so that you know that יהוה makes distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ĕl.’ (Exodus 11:8)  “And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure. (Exodus 11:9)  But יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, in order to multiply my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 11:10)  And Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.
 
Selection of Passover Lamb, Passover, and Blood of the Lamb’s protection provided- ridding ourselves of sin in Thankfulness with Unleavened Bread
 
(Exodus 12:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Exodus 12:2) “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of the year for you. (Exodus 12:3)  “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. (Exodus 12:4)  ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb. (Exodus 12:5)  ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats. (Exodus 12:6)  ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. (Exodus 12:7)  ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. (Exodus 12:8)  ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exodus 12:9)  ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts. (Exodus 12:10)  ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire. (Exodus 12:11)  ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Passover of יהוה. (Exodus 12:12)  ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה. (Exodus 12:13)  ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 12:14)  ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it as a festival, an everlasting law. (Exodus 12:15)  ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 12:16)  ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you. (Exodus 12:17)  ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law. (Exodus 12:18)  ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening. (Exodus 12:19)  ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land. (Exodus 12:20)  ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’ ” (Exodus 12:21) And Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and slaughter the Passover lamb. (Exodus 12:22)  “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. (Exodus 12:23)  “And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. (Exodus 12:24)  “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons, forever. (Exodus 12:25)  “And it shall be, when you come to the land which יהוה gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service. (Exodus 12:26)  “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’ (Exodus 12:27) then you shall say, ‘It is the Passover slaughtering of יהוה, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ĕl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance. (Exodus 12:28)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl went away and did so – as יהוה had commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exodus 12:29)  And it came to be at midnight that יהוה smote all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of livestock. (Exodus 12:30)  And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one. (Exodus 12:31)  Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go; serve יהוה as you have said. (Exodus 12:32)  “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.” (Exodus 12:33)  And the Mitsrites urged the people, to hasten to send them away out of the land. For they said, “We are all dying!” (Exodus 12:34)  And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders. (Exodus 12:35)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl had done according to the word of Mosheh, and they had asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver, and objects of gold, and garments. (Exodus 12:36)  And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites, so that they gave them what they asked, and they plundered the Mitsrites. (Exodus 12:37)  And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out from Raʽmeses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. (Exodus 12:38)  And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock. (Exodus 12:39)  And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out of Mitsrayim, and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for themselves. (Exodus 12:40)  And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ĕl who lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years. (Exodus 12:41)  And it came to be at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to be that all the divisions of יהוה went out from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 12:42)  It is a night to be observed unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto יהוה, to be observed by all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations. (Exodus 12:43)  And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “This is the law of the Passover: No son of a stranger is to eat of it, (Exodus 12:44) but any servant a man has bought for silver, when you have circumcised him, then let him eat of it. (Exodus 12:45)  “A sojourner and a hired servant do not eat of it. (Exodus 12:46)  “It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh outside the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. (Exodus 12:47)  “All the congregation of Yisra’ĕl are to perform it. (Exodus 12:48)  “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no uncircumcised eat of it. (Exodus 12:49)  “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” (Exodus 12:50)  And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did. (Exodus 12:51)  And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
 
Firstborn belong to YHWH! As do First fruits!
 
(Exodus 13:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 13:2) “Set apart to me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.” (Exodus 13:3)  And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten. (Exodus 13:4)  “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ. (Exodus 13:5)  “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month. (Exodus 13:6)  “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to יהוה. (Exodus 13:7)  “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within your entire border. (Exodus 13:8)  “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’ (Exodus 13:9)  “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 13:10)  “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year. (Exodus 13:11)  “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, (Exodus 13:12) that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה. (Exodus 13:13)  “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom. (Exodus 13:14)  “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. (Exodus 13:15)  ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’ (Exodus 13:16)  “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
 
Destruction comes from the North
 
(Jeremiah 46:13)  The word which יהוה spoke to Yirmeyahu the prophet, about the coming of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel, to smite the land of Mitsrayim: (Jeremiah 46:14) “Declare in Mitsrayim, and let it be heard in Miḡdol. And let it be heard in Noph and in Taḥpanḥes. Say, ‘Stand fast and be prepared, for a sword shall devour all around you.’ (Jeremiah 46:15)  “Why were your strong ones swept away? They did not stand because יהוה drove them away. (Jeremiah 46:16)  “He made many stumble; indeed, they fell over each other, and said, ‘Arise! Let us go back to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from the oppressing sword.’ (Jeremiah 46:17)  “There they cried, ‘Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by!’ (Jeremiah 46:18)  “As I live,” declares the Sovereign, whose Name is יהוה of hosts, “For as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Karmel by the sea, he shall come. (Jeremiah 46:19)  “O you daughter dwelling in Mitsrayim, prepare yourself to go into exile! Noph shall become a waste and a ruin, and be burned, without inhabitant. (Jeremiah 46:20)  “Mitsrayim is like a very pretty heifer, but destruction comes, it comes from the north. (Jeremiah 46:21)  “Her hired ones too, in her midst, are like fattened calves, for they too shall turn, they shall flee away together. They shall not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment. (Jeremiah 46:22)  “Its sound moves along like a serpent, for they move on like an army and come against her with axes, like woodcutters. (Jeremiah 46:23)  “They shall cut down her forest;” declares יהוה, “for it is not searched, because they are more numerous than locusts, and without number. (Jeremiah 46:24)  “The daughter of Mitsrayim shall be put to shame. She shall be given into the hand of the people of the north.” (Jeremiah 46:25)  יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, has said, “See, I am bringing punishment on Amon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Mitsrayim, and on their mighty ones, and on their sovereigns, and on Pharaoh and on those trusting in him. (Jeremiah 46:26)  “And I shall give them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel and into the hand of his servants. And afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares יהוה.
 
Promise to those Set-Apart in loving Obedience to our Elohim!
 
(Jeremiah 46:27)  “But as for you, do not fear, O my servant Yaʽaqoḇ, and do not be discouraged, O Yisra’ĕl! For look, I am saving you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. And Yaʽaqoḇ shall return, and shall have rest and be at ease, with no one disturbing. (Jeremiah 46:28)  “Do not fear, O Yaʽaqoḇ my servant” declares יהוה, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the gentiles to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you1. But I shall reprove you in right-ruling, and by no means leave you unpunished.” Footnote: 1See 46:28, Isaiah. 34:2, Isaiah. 45:17, Daniel. 2:44, Amos 9:8, Hag. 2:22.
 
The Blood of the LAMB of Yahweh- We must Judge Ourselves
 
(1 Corinthians 11:20)  So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper. (1 Corinthians 11:21)  For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk. (1 Corinthians 11:22)  Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! (1 Corinthians 11:23)  For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, (1Corinthians 11:24) and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.” (1 Corinthians 11:25)  In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in my blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of me.(1 Corinthians 11:26)  For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes. (1 Corinthians 11:27)  So whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master. (1 Corinthians 11:28)  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. (1 Corinthians 11:29)  For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to him, not discerning the body of the Master. (1 Corinthians 11:30)  Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. (1 Corinthians 11:31)  For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged. (1 Corinthians 11:32)  But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:33)  So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. (1 Corinthians 11:34)  And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.
 
 
Loved One, my prayer for you and I today is that you and I have faith increased to match our obedience and willingness to humble ourselves to submit our tongues to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide us into all truth and teach us of things to come! That our prayers are given thanks for instead of continually asking- that we show actions that indicate we believe the promises of Yahshua regardless of the current storms and circumstances! HalleluYAH- that all our loved ones come into the Kingdom forever! Our Deliverer is coming!
 
Shalom to your home,

Continued explanation of our Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
 
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
