Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is
attached for ease of print and study format- also for your confession Psalm 91 (click here). YHWH
is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW HIM and call on His name
will be delivered- HalleluYAH!Those who will humble
themselves and draw near will walk like Yahshua walked as a manifested son or
daughter of Yahweh; His generation that was the final generation of the 42 in
Matthew. See the 3 video links at page 7-8 of this study by Dr. Bruce Allen to
start expanding our thoughts on how Yahweh may use us.
Why
are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued
at end of this week’s study-
Loved
One- Today is (September 25th)The Day of Atonement (Yom
Kippur)the Day
of repentance andfasting(Thursday sundown until Friday Sundown). This (Yom
Kippur/Atonement) is when we AFFLICT OUR SOULS; which is always Hebraically
considered fasting.(1
John 1:9)If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Leviticus 23:26 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Leviticus 23:27“On the tenth day of this seventh month is
the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall
afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:28“And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day
of Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.Leviticus 23:29
“For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 23:30 “And any being who does any
work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.
Leviticus 23:31 “You do no work – a law forever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Leviticus
23:32‘It
is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth
day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
Leviticus 23:33 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Leviticus 23:34 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
saying, on the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Booths
for seven days to יהוה. Leviticus 23:35 ‘On the first
day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. Leviticus
23:36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the
eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work. Leviticus 23:37
‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-apart
gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a
slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day – Leviticus 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and
besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary
offerings which you give to יהוה.
Loved
One, please share
our studies as YHWH is restoring all to Himself- 123 countries have now read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! This is nothing we
have done- Mighty is YHWH wholoves us and restores all things! this year’s Feast of Tabernacles starting on the evening of
September 29th - which the 7 days ends the evening of the 21sthowever;HaShana Rabba(THE
LAST GREAT DAY)starts that same evening and concludes the evening of the 22nd- so
the SEASON OF REJOICING is appropriate and a picture of our future when we will
look around and shout HalleluYAH’S proclaiming – “We made it into the Kingdom
and have entered His joy!”
Below is
during the Millennium reign of Yahshua (Jesus) loved one, so I expect that is a
good enough reason for Truth Searchers like us to start learning obedience in
“Keeping the Feasts!”Remember the Hebrew idiom “The Day that no man
knows the day or the hour!” (Feast of Trumpets) then 15 days later is the Feast
of Tabernacles- Season of our Joy which we will soon celebrate as written
above!
(Zechariah 14:16) And
it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against
Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign,
יהוה of hosts,
and to
observe the Festival of Booths(Tabernacles). (Zechariah 14:17)
And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans of the earth does not come
up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign (King), יהוה of hosts, on them there is to be no rain.
How do we know
when the Biblical year starts and when we are to keep His Biblically prescribed
Feast dates loved one? YHWH put the planets and stars in their courses for
seasons days and years. The moon circles the Earth every 29.54 days so we can
only have a 29 day month or a 30 day month- never a 28 or 31 day month like
Pope Gregory determined. So YHWH is in control of what time it is in His
universe! Here is how we determine the real
start of the year!(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. (Just before Passover)
Why is that of any importance to
you and me living today? Because many of the body of believers have been
blinded by the enemy of our souls and still follow vain
traditions which are mostly manmade subtractions, additions and traditions of
“Churchianity” handed down from the
anything but a “Holy” Roman Empire ruler Constantine; who was a sun god worshiper and enforced these “manmade
doctrines” with the penalty of death for rejection.
Please understand we should know
when the year starts so we can observe and do His commanded Holy Days (Holidays) and not do vain observations
that He considers abominations. Many Christians honor all the TRADITIONAL holidays such as
Christmas, Easter, Lent and never consider their pagan roots which were
orchestrated by Rome. Some know that the day of the sun (Sun-day) was rooted from sun god
worship and Easter was the pagan fertility goddess, where the Easter Priests (Not Christians or follower of Messiah) -
would impregnate the virgins on the sunrise service and sacrifice the 3 month
old babies from the prior years' sunrise service, dipping the eggs
of Easter into the freshly sacrificed babies blood and declare- HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE! Have a prosperous and fertile year! This was their form of Happy New Year! Lent was the 40 days of fasting and weeping
for Tamuz followed by killing the pig that killed Tammuz on a hunting
expedition and having that for Easter ham- goodness- Loved Ones-think maybe
these traditions are possibly an abomination to our Creator? He taught us to
NOT LEARN the ways of the heathenand say we are worshiping Him!(Jeremiah 10:2)
Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles, 1 and do not be awed by the signs of the
heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.2Footnotes:
1Leviticus 18:3, Deuteronomy 12:30 & 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 &20:32,
Ephesians 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3.2Deuteronomy 4:19 & 17:3. He also
COMMANDED US: (Deuteronomy 4:2)“Do not addto
the Word which I command you, and do not subtractfrom it1, so as to
guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim
which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See
also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:18-19. Do you and I suppose he has changed His mind about that; so we think it
okay to ADDthese
manmade traditions as holy days and festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT
His Feasts and festivals?
Do "we" worship in
VAIN?Maybe we should consider
doing only what He says and not what tradition allows-THESE ARE THE DAYS OF REPENTANCE!
Really-
Worship in VAIN? Goodness– maybe we should really reconsider
Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to mind- “Come out of her my people or
partake in her plagues!” Loved Ones, should we worship Him the way He
says or obey men and our traditions? Is obedience to the Word made flesh that
dwelled among us really important? Let’s
repeat that; Worship in VAIN? Goodness
– maybe we should really reconsider Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to
mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Is our own judgment possibly only a heartbeat
away? Do we really want to nullify all the
promises received from obedience- given in the Word?
Matthew 15:3He answering, said to
them, “Why do you also transgress the
command of Elohim1 because of your tradition?Footnote: 1See
Matthew 5:20.Matthew 15:4“For Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your
mother,’ and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Matthew 15:5“But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever
profit you might have received from me has been dedicated,” Matthew 15:6is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. Matthew 15:7“Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, Matthew 15:8‘This people draw
near to me with their mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is
far from Me.Matthew 15:9 ‘But in vain do
they worship me, teaching as my doctrines- the commands of men.’ ”1Footnote: 1Isaiah
29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
Obedience is LOVE:(John 14:10)“Do you not believe
that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you
I do not speak from myself. But the Father who stays in me does His works.(John 14:11) “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the
Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works themselves.(John 14:12) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes
in me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than
these he shall do, because I go to My Father.(John 14:13)“Whatever you ask in my
name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son.(John 14:14) “If you ask whatever in my Name, I shall do
it. (John
14:15) “If
you love me, you shall guard (keep)my commands.1Footnote: 1See Exodus 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3,
2 John v. 6. (John 14:16)“And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper,
to stay with you forever – (John 14:17)the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive,
because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with
you and shall be in you.(John 14:18)“I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you.(John 14:19) “Yet a little while, and the world no longer
sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live.(John 14:20)“In that day you shall
know that I am in my Father and you in me, and I in you.(John 14:21) “He
who possesses my commands and guards(keeps)them; it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by my
Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.”
Why is keeping His Feasts correctly at the biblical
time so important to us today? Because if we cannot determine when the year
starts we cannot observe His commands out of loving obedience!
Do we realize
that IN THE
BEGINNING Yahshua(Jesus) was
the word and is the word even at Mt Sinai? Malachi 4 and Hebrews 13:8 testifies
that He changes not and is the same yesterday, today and forever- what part of
“forever” is so difficult for us to understand? The enemy has planted many
tares and blinded many of us into thinking our religious traditions are
acceptable to our King! However; He claims we are worshipping Him in VAIN!
Please let us not use the excuse that those words have passed away because
Yahshua addressed that thought beforehand and leaves us no excuse when we stand
in His presence; (Matthew 5:17)Think not that I am come to destroy the law,(Torah-
Instructions) or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18)For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:19)Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teachthem,the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven. So;
is it ALL
fulfilled?What is fulfilled were the Spring Feasts of YHWH; He was and is the Passover
Lamb, He is the High Priest who had to be in seclusion until the First Fruits
Offering and could not be touched (“Don’t
touch me Mary- I have not yet ascended to the Father”) then the graves
opened and many were seen around Jerusalem risen from the dead as He was the
first of many of the First Fruits Offering; then on Shavuot (we now call
Pentecost) He poured out His Spirit that His commands would no longer be
impossible (burdensome) to keep.
These were and are the Spring Feasts he and we start our year with- they are
the shadow picture of things to come. The Fall Feasts have not yet been fulfilled-
we are finally; during our generation, approaching the Feast of Trumpets
and at the LAST TRUMPET, the dead in Messiah rise first; then 10 days later we
have the DAY OF ATONEMENT or some of us call Judgment Day; then 5 days
later we have The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkoth when we tabernacle or
dwell with Him forever; then on the eighth day of this Feast we have the LAST
GREAT DAY or the WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB. Once again; these Fall Feasts are not yet fulfilled. So
what does Yahshua say about this; are there still a heaven and an earth? If
there is a heaven and earth still we are commanded to:(Matthew
5:17)think
not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18)For verily I
say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew
5:19)Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teachthem,the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Remember also LOVED
ONES- WE FEAR NOT! We fast and repent
getting rid of our unbelief and replacing it with TRUSTING HIM!(Psalms 20:5) We sing of your deliverance, and
in the Name of our Elohim we set up a banner! יהוה(YHWH) does fill all your requests! (Psalms
20:6) Now I know that יהוה(YHWH) shall save His Anointed; He answers him
from His set-apart heavens with the saving might of His right hand. (Psalms 20:7)
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we remember(trust in) the Name of יהוה(YHWH) our Elohim.
(Psalms 20:8)
They, they have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and are
established. (Psalms 20:9) Save us (YHWH)יהוה! Let
the Sovereign answer us in the day we call.
Here are this week’s
Torah Scriptures:Tazria“Leprosy-
Conceived”
Leviticus 12:1-13:59; 2
Kings 4:42-5:27; Matthew 8:1-4
Quarantine
for a woman giving childbirth
(Leviticus 12:1) And
יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying,(Leviticus 12:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying,
‘When a woman has conceived, and has given birth to a male child, then she
shall be unclean seven days, as in the days of her monthly separation she is
unclean.(Leviticus 12:3) ‘And on the eighth
day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.(Comment: only in recent years did modern medicine discover that
vitamin K is released into the male’s blood on the 8th day from
birth which coagulated the blood and allows for safe circumcision)(Leviticus 12:4)
‘And she remains in the blood of her cleansing thirty-three days. She
does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she does not come into the set-apart
place until the days of her cleansing are completed.(Leviticus
12:5) ‘But if she gives birth to
a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her monthly
separation, and she remains in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days.(Leviticus 12:6)
‘And when the days of her cleansing are completed, for a son or for a
daughter, she brings to the priest a lamb a year old, as a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting.(Leviticus 12:7) ‘And he shall bring it before יהוה, and make
atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This
is the Torah for her who has given birth to a male or a female.(Leviticus 12:8)
‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two
turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a
sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be
clean.’ ”(Leviticus 13:1)And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon,
saying,(Leviticus 13:2)“When a man has on the
skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become on
the skin of his body like a leprous infection, then he shall be brought to
Aharon the priest or to one of his sons the priests.(Leviticus
13:3) “And the priest shall look
at the infection on the skin of the body. And if the hair on the infection has
turned white, and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body,
it is a leprous infection. And the priest shall look at him, and pronounce him
unclean.(Leviticus 13:4) “But if the bright spot is white on the skin
of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has
not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the infected one seven days.(Leviticus 13:5)
“And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day and see, if the
infection appears to be as it was, and the infection has not spread on the
skin, then the priest shall shut him up another seven days.(Leviticus 13:6)
“And the priest shall look at him again on the seventh day and see, if
the infection has darkened, and the infection has not spread on the skin, then
the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab, and he shall wash his
garments and be clean.(Leviticus 13:7) “But if the scab spreads further over the
skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen
by the priest again.(Leviticus 13:8) “And the priest shall look and see, if the
scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is
leprosy.(Leviticus 13:9) “When the infection of leprosy is on a man,
then he shall be brought to the priest.(Leviticus
13:10) “And the priest shall look
and see, if the swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair
white, and there is a spot of raw flesh in the swelling,(Leviticus 13:11) it is an
old leprosy on the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him
unclean. He does not shut him up, for he is unclean.(Leviticus
13:12) “And if leprosy breaks out
all over the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of the infected
one, from his head to his foot, wherever the priest looks,(Leviticus 13:13)
then the priest shall look and see, if the leprosy has covered all his
body, he shall pronounce the infected one clean. It has all turned white, he is
clean.(Leviticus 13:14) “But the day raw flesh appears on him, he is
unclean.(Leviticus 13:15) “And the priest shall look at the raw flesh
and pronounce him to be unclean – the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.(Leviticus 13:16)
“Or when the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to
the priest.(Leviticus 13:17) “And the priest shall look at him and see, if
the infection has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the infected
one clean, he is clean.(Leviticus 13:18) “And when the body has a boil in the skin,
and it is healed,(Leviticus 13:19) and in the
place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white,
then it shall be seen by the priest.(Leviticus 13:20) “And the priest shall look and see, if it
appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection which has broken out of the
boil.(Leviticus 13:21) “But if the priest looks at it and sees no
white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the
priest shall shut him up seven days;(Leviticus 13:22) and if it has spread further over the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection.(Leviticus 13:23)
“But if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread, it is the
scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Burns on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:24) “Or when the body
receives a burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn shall become
a bright spot, reddish-white or white,(Leviticus
13:25)then the priest shall look at it and see, if the hair of the
bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is
leprosy broken out in the burn. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it
is a leprous infection.(Leviticus 13:26) “But if the priest looks at it and sees there
are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but
has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.(Leviticus 13:27) “And the
priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads further over the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous infection.(Leviticus 13:28)
“But if the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread on the
skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn. And the priest shall
pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
Infections on our skin- quarantine
(Leviticus 13:29) “And when a man,
or a woman, has an infection on the head or in the beard,(Leviticus 13:30)then the priest shall look at the
infection and see, if it appears deeper than the skin, and there is thin yellow
hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is an eruption, a
leprosy of the head or beard.(Leviticus 13:31) “But when the priest looks at the infection
of the eruption and sees that it does not appear deeper than the skin, and
there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the one with
the infection of the eruption seven days.(Leviticus
13:32) “And on the seventh day
the priest shall look at the infection and see, if the eruption has not spread,
and there is no yellow hair in it, and the eruption does not appear deeper than
the skin,(Leviticus 13:33) then he shall shave himself, but the eruption
he does not shave. And the priest shall shut up the one with the eruption
another seven days.(Leviticus 13:34) “And on the seventh day the priest shall look
at the eruption and see, if the eruption has not spread over the skin, and does
not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And
he shall wash his garments, and he shall be clean.(Leviticus
13:35) “But if the eruption
spreads further over the skin after his cleansing,(Leviticus
13:36) then the priest shall look
at him and see, if the eruption has spread over the skin, the priest need not
seek for yellow hair, he is unclean.(Leviticus 13:37) “But if the eruption appears to have stayed,
and there is black hair grown up in it, the eruption has healed. He is clean,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean.(Leviticus
13:38) “And when a man or a woman
has bright spots on the skin of the body, white bright spots,(Leviticus 13:39)
then the priest shall look and see, if the bright spots on the skin of
the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin, he is
clean.(Leviticus 13:40) “And when a man loses the hair of his head,
he is bald, he is clean.(Leviticus 13:41) “And if the hair has fallen from his
forehead, he is bald on the forehead, he is clean.(Leviticus
13:42) “And when there is on the
bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking
out on his bald head or his bald forehead.(Leviticus
13:43) “And the priest shall look
at it and see, if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald
head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the
body,(Leviticus 13:44) he is a leprous man, he
is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean, without fail, his infection
is on his head.(Leviticus 13:45) “As for the leper who has the infection, his
garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he has to cover his upper lip
and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’(Leviticus 13:46) “He is unclean – all the days he has the infection
he is unclean. He is unclean, and he dwells alone, his dwelling place is
outside the camp.
Yes even our garments can carry infection
(Leviticus 13:47) “And when a
garment has an infection of leprosy in it, in a woolen garment or in a linen
garment,(Leviticus 13:48) or in the warp or in the weft of linen or
wool, or in leather or in any leather-work,(Leviticus
13:49) and the infection shall be
greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the warp or in the
weft, or in any leather object, it is an infection of leprosy and shall be
shown to the priest.(Leviticus 13:50) “And the priest shall look at the infection
and shut up the infected one seven days.(Leviticus
13:51) “And he shall look at the
infection on the seventh day. And when the infection has spread in the garment,
or in the warp or in the weft, or in the leather or any leather-work, the
infection is an active leprosy, it is unclean.(Leviticus
13:52) “And he shall burn that
garment, or the warp or the weft, in wool or in linen or any leather object in
which the infection is, for it is an active leprosy. It is burned with fire.(Leviticus 13:53)
“But if the priest looks and sees that the infection has not spread in
the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object,(Leviticus 13:54) then the priest shall give command,
and they shall wash that in which the infection is. And he shall shut it up
another seven days.(Leviticus 13:55) “And the priest shall look at the infection
after it has been washed and see, if the infection has not changed its
appearance, though the infection has not spread, it is unclean, and burn it in
the fire – it is eaten away, in its inside or outside.(Leviticus
13:56) “And if the priest shall
look and see that the infection has faded after washing it, then he shall tear
it out of the garment, or out of the warp, or out of the weft, or out of the
leather.(Leviticus 13:57) “And if it is still seen in the garment, or
in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, it is a spreading
infection. Burn it with fire, that in which the infection is.(Leviticus 13:58)
“And if you wash the garment, or the warp or the weft, or any leather
object, if the infection has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a second
time, and shall be clean.(Leviticus 13:59) “This is the Torah(Instructions-Law)
of the infection of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp or in
the weft, or in any leather object, to
pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leprosy and all operations of curses are no
respecters of person
(2 Kings 4:42) Now
a man came from Baʽal Shalishah, and brought the
man of Elohim bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and
newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people to
eat.”(2 Kings 4:43) And his servant said, “What? Do I set this
before one hundred men?” And he said, “Give it to the people to eat. For thus
said יהוה, ‘Eat and
have some left over.’ ”(2 Kings 4:44) and he
set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word
of יהוה.(2 Kings 5:1) And
Naʽaman, commander of the army of the sovereign of Aram,
was a great man in the eyes of his master, and highly respected, because by him
יהוה had given
deliverance to Aram. And he was a brave man, but
leprous.(2 Kings 5:2) And the Arameans had gone out on raids, and
had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Yisra’ĕl, and she served
the wife of Naʽaman.(2 Kings 5:3) And she said to her mistress, “If only my
master were with the prophet who is in Shomeron! Then he would recover him of
his leprosy.”(2 Kings 5:4) And Naʽaman went in and reported to his
master, saying, “Thus and thus spoke the girl who is from the land of
Yisra’ĕl.”(2 Kings 5:5) And the sovereign of Aram said, “Go, enter,
and let me send a letter to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.” And he went and took
with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten
changes of garments.(2 Kings 5:6) And he brought the letter to the sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl, which said, “And now, when this letter comes to you, see I have sent
Naʽaman my servant to you, so that you shall recover him of his leprosy.”(2 Kings 5:7)
And it came to be, when the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl read the letter, that
he tore his garments and said, “Am I Elohim, to kill and keep alive, that this
man sends a man to me to recover him of his leprosy? For consider now, and see
how he is seeking an occasion with me!”(2 Kings 5:8) And it came to be, when Elisha the man of
Elohim heard that the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl had torn his garments, that he sent
to the sovereign, saying, “Why have you torn your
garments? Please let him come to me,
so that he knows that there is a prophet in Yisra’ĕl.”
Please understand: in these last days we
shall operate in the gifts of His Spirit and walk in His power if we do not
reject the gifts available or assign them to the works of demons: (Luke 11:11)If a son shall ask bread of any
of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or ifhe aska fish, will he for a fish give
him a serpent? (Luke 11:12)Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion? (Luke 11:13)If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shallyourheavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him? (Comment: these terms- snakes and scorpions
represent the powers or demons and the works of hell which Yahshua came to
destroy!)
Want to be used like Phillip and Elijah was- with translations and great
favor over darkness?
(2 Kings 5:9) So Naʽaman came
with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the entrance of the house of
Elisha.
Simple obedience brings blessings and
removal of curses!
(2 Kings 5:10) And Elisha sent a
messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you shall
wash seven times in the Yardĕn, that your flesh might be restored to you, and
be clean.”(2 Kings 5:11) But Naʽaman became wroth, and went away and
said, “See, I said to myself, ‘He would certainly come out to me, and stand and
call on the Name of יהוה his Elohim, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the
leprosy.’(2 Kings 5:12) “Are not the Aḇanah and the Pharpar, the
rivers of Dammeseq, better than all the waters of Yisra’ĕl? Could I not wash in
them and be clean?” And he turned and went away in a rage.
Sometimes a planted word (seed) can produce
repentance- which brings healing
(2 Kings 5:13)And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if
the prophet had spoken to you a great matter, would you not have done it? How
much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”(2 Kings 5:14)
Then he went down and dipped seven times in the Yardĕn, according to the
word of the man of Elohim. And his flesh was restored like the flesh of a
little child, and he was clean.(2 Kings 5:15) And he returned to the man of Elohim, he and
all his company, and came and stood before him and said, “See, now I know that
there is no Elohim in all the earth, except in Yisra’ĕl. And now, please take a
gift from your servant.”(2 Kings 5:16) But he said, “As יהוה lives, before whom I stand, I do not
accept it.” And he pressed on him to accept it, but he refused.(2 Kings 5:17)
Then Naʽaman said, “If not, please let your servant be given two
mule-loads of earth, for no longer is your servant going to make a burnt
offering and slaughtering to other mighty ones, but to יהוה.(2 Kings 5:18) “יהוה grant forgiveness to your servant in this
matter: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he
leans on my hand, and I bow down in the house of Rimmon; when I bow down in the
house of Rimmon, יהוה, please grant forgiveness to your servant in this matter.”(2 Kings 5:19)
Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” And when he had gone from him some
distance,(Comment:Wealth
and riches- has power to bring a curse- as the LOVE of money is the root of all evil!Perhaps we should look at our own hearts and
desires- where our hearts are- there is our TREASURE! Let’s get our
transgressions uncovered since there is no “Hidden” sin- know this-- our-- sin
will find us out- so let’s stay in a repentant mode loved one.) (2 Kings 5:20) But Gĕḥazi, the
servant of Elisha the man of Elohim, said to himself, “Look, my master
has spared Naʽaman this Aramean, while not receiving from his hands what he
brought. But as יהוה lives, I shall run after him and
take whatever from him.”(2 Kings 5:21) And Gĕḥazi pursued Naʽaman. And when Naʽaman
saw him running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said,
“Is there peace?”(2 Kings 5:22) And he said, “Peace. My master has sent me,
saying, ‘Look, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to
me from the mountains of Ephrayim. Please give them a talent of silver and two
changes of garments.’ ”(2 Kings 5:23) And
Naʽaman said, “Please accept two talents.” And he urged him, and bound two
talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to
two of his servants. And they bare them ahead of him.(2
Kings 5:24) And when he came to
the high place, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the
house, and let the men go, and they went.(2 Kings
5:25) And he went in and stood
before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gĕḥazi?” And he
said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”(2 Kings
5:26) But he said to him, “Did
not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you?
Is it time to accept silver and to accept garments, and olive-trees and
vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male and female servants?(2 Kings 5:27)“So let the
leprosy of Naʽaman cling to you and your descendants forever.”And he
went out from him as leprous as snow.
You will never see it YHWH’s will for sickness to
reign in His sons and daughters!
(Matthew 8:1) And
when He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. (Matthew 8:2)
And see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Master, if
you desire, you are able to make me clean.” (Matthew
8:3) And stretching out His hand יהושע touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be
cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (Matthew 8:4)
And יהושע said to him, “See, and mention it to no
one. But go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that
Mosheh commanded, as a witness to them.”
The Body of Messiah is going through a great shaking just
now so let’s repent of our words spoken and actions unbecoming the BRIDE- we
must choose to do things His way now. (If we don’t want to be the Bride who
makes herself ready- then we can continue to do things OUR way) Let’s forgive
everyone that has done evil to us, cursed us, and spoken all manner of evil
about us. This gives us a right standing with our Father to pray and bless
others- especially those that have done wickedly in our Father’s eyes against
us. Remember, if we hate or do evil against our brother or sister; Yahushua
(Yeshua-Jesus) considers it MURDER- No murderers will be allowed in the
Kingdom- so repentance is required- we confess our sins one to another that WE
may be healed! My prayer is that we take Yahushua’s words very solemnly and
obey and LIVE! Let’s make sure we repent also of words spoken in hurt or anger
against others! Hallelu-YAH! May YHWH bless and direct you, provide and protect
you and your loved ones- wherever they may be!
Loved one, please also continue to pray in agreement
with us for direction, provision, protection and healing for us and many (yours
and our loved ones). Also, please continue
to pray for mine and Billie’s protection and confusion of the enemy as we
minister at these Feasts (and beyond) in Africa. We return that prayer back
upon you and your loved ones! YHWH hears your prayers and according to His word
and promise- you/we have the thing we request! (1
John 5:14)
And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever
according to His desire, He hears us. (1 John 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we
ask, we know that we have the petitions that we
have asked of Him. Hallelu-Yah there is much
power in agreement with prayer and fasting! Give thanks and
dance before our King- like King David danced- and see the blessings of our
Elohim poured out on you and OVERTAKING YOU! Try as you may-obedient and
much loved one, you cannot outrun the blessings of YHWH! Hallelu-Yah!
Nothing is more rewarding than having Yahweh’s blessings OVERTAKE us!
HalleluYAH!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston
Continued
explanation of the Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which
sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab
the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s
look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to
seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)
“Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days(Now? YES and in the future also!)Ten men(10 scattered
northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the
nations take hold, yea, they
shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
