Shabbat Shalom
Loved One! (Attached as document for
printing and study)
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 KNOW HIM and call on His name will be delivered! 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 is continued at end of this week’s study…
Loved One-
we really need to take stock of what is happening around the world. Wickedness
abounds and is proclaimed as righteousness. They call evil good and good evil,
so we are next on their list- FEAR NOT! Freedom is only given and retained by
those who remain dependent on (Obedient
to) YHWH Almighty. The watchmen seem to be sounding their trumpets around
the world to wake up the Body of Messiah, but much of His body is sound asleep
and despises the watchmen; so our question for us should be; are we also asleep?
Arise and awaken for darkness is
covering the earth! We have a destiny to enter by faith!
Isaiah
60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has
come! And the esteem (Glory) of יהוה has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:2
“For look, darkness covers the earth and thick
(gross) darkness the
peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. Isaiah 60:3 “And the gentiles shall come to
your light1, and sovereigns (Kings)
to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1Isaiah 60:19, 20, Revelation 21:23, 24.
Isaiah 60:4 “Lift up your eyes all around and
see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from
afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. Isaiah
60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and
swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles
come to you.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer. Psalms 20:1 יהוה does answer
you in the day of distress! The Name of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ does set you on
high! Psalms 20:2 He does send you help from
the set-apart place, and does uphold you from Tsiyon! Psalms
20:3 He does remember all your offerings, and does accept your burnt
offering! Selah. Psalms 20:4 He does give you
according to your heart, and fills all your plans! Psalms
20:5 We sing of Your deliverance, And in the Name of our Elohim we set
up a banner! יהוה does fill all your
requests! Psalms 20:6 Now I know that יהוה 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 the Name of יהוה our Elohim. Psalms 20:8 they, they have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and are established. Psalms 20:9
Save, יהוה! Let the Sovereign answer us in the day we
call.
Draw near in sackcloth and fasting—REPENT and draw near—it is time we
humble ourselves and submit to His Word---we get judged first!
1
Peter 4:17 Because it
is time for judgment to begin from the House of Elohim. And if firstly from us,
what is the end of those who do not obey the Good News of Elohim? 1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous one is scarcely
saved, where shall the wicked and the sinner appear?
Hebrews
10:26
For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering
for sins, 1 Footnote: 1 See
also 6:6, Hebrews 9:7, Numbers 15:15-28. Hebrews
10:27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire
which is about to consume the opponents. Hebrews 10:28
Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the
witness of two or three witnesses. Hebrews 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think shall
he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of
the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of
favor? Hebrews 10:30 For we know Him who has
said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה shall judge His people.” Hebrews 10:31
It is
fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
Have our erroneous preconceived
perceptions and extra-biblical traditions taught by much of this last
day’s Laodicean church system around the world- left us unaware of YHWH’s
planned judgment on a disobedient people that will and have greatly fallen
away? Remember- YHWH judges His
“church” first who claim to love Him but worship
Him in VAIN; teaching as His
doctrines the commandments of men (extra-biblical
traditions). He warned us; “DO NOT
learn the ways of the heathens” and say we are worshiping (Obeying) Him! (Amos
3:6) If a Trumpet (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 (Yahushua) 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? (Luke
17:26) “And as it came to be in the days of Noaḥ, so also shall it be in the days of the (coming of) Son of Aḏam: (Yahushua) (Luke
17:27) “They were
eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noaḥ went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed
them all. (Luke
17:28) “And likewise, as it came to be in the days of
Lot: They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were
selling, they were planting, they were building, (Luke 17:29) but on the day Lot went out of Seḏom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven
and destroyed all.
We
are still learning the importance of words we speak…
Loved
One, the Bible is eternal, alive, and its every word applies to every
individual, under all conditions, at all times. Our witness (Our words) must agree with the Word with our speech if we want
His good plans for us. (2
Corinthians 13:1) This is the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be
established.” 1 Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy
19:15.
(Matthew
4:2)
And after having fasted forty days and forty
nights, He was hungry. (Matthew 4:3) And the trier came
and said to Him, “If you are the Son of Elohim, command that these stones
become bread.” (Matthew 4:4) But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of יהוה.’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 8:3.
(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) “You brood of vipers!
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 (words), 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) “By your words
you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared
unrighteous (Condemned or with damnation).”
(Romans 10:4) Messiah is the goal 1 of the ‘Torah unto
righteousness’ to everyone who believes. Footnote: 1
Or end purpose; not termination. (Romans
10:5) For Mosheh writes about the
righteousness which is of the Torah, “The man who does these shall live by
them.” (Romans 10:6) But the righteousness of belief speaks in
this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens?’ ” –
that is, to bring Messiah down; or, (Romans 10:7)
“‘who shall descend into the abyss?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah up from the
dead.
What we think on we will become! Whatever
is stored in our hearts will eventually come out of our mouths. Please remember
that words are SPIRIT---Yahshua’s words are SPIRIT and TRUTH. Some words are
SPIRIT (Not Ruach HaKodesh) and death---these
words will not agree with His words –whether they are FACT or not- they are not
truth! Heaven and earth will pass away but His word alone will remain. So we
agree and speak His words over our lives and circumstances!
(Romans 10:8) But
what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and
in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming: (Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in your heart that
Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (Comment: When you confess Him with your mouth you are
speaking agreement with Him with your words; and if you then believe in your
heart even when your logic or mind is disagreeing; you will be saved- that
“saved” is the Greek word SOZO and means healed, delivered, and saved from
every affliction and scheme of hell against you) (Romans
10:10)
For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and one confesses with
the mouth, and so is saved.
(Romans 10:11)
Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts
his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.” (Romans
10:12) Because there is no
distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to
all those calling upon Him. (Romans 10:13)
“Everyone who calls (speaks agreement with) on the Name of יהוה
shall be saved.” (Delivered,
saved, healed and made whole)
(Isaiah 55:6) Seek יהוה while He is to be found, call on Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:7) Let the wrong
forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to יהוה, who has compassion on him, and to our
Elohim, for He pardons much. (Isaiah 55:8) “For my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares יהוה. (Isaiah 55:9) “For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:10) “For as the rain
comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and do not return there, but water
the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and
bread to the eater, (Isaiah 55:11) so is My
Word that goes forth from my mouth – it does not return to me empty, but shall
do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for.
(Isaiah 55:12) “For with joy you
go out, and with peace you are brought in – the mountains and the hills break
forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field clap the hands. (Isaiah 55:13)
“Instead of the thorn the cypress comes up, and instead of the nettle
the myrtle comes up. And it shall be to יהוה
for a name, for an everlasting sign which is not cut off.”
Thus this is YHWH’s perpetual call to everyone everywhere in
the world, calling to us all to come out and be clothed with His anointing. YHWH
doesn't want us to hide from Him but rather to hide IN Him. We may need to be
hidden in the “wilderness” in the days ahead as we learn to escape and endure
that we may stand at His appearing- we should be praying that we are made
worthy to do this! Let’s make sure we do not harden our hearts! He
reads us while we read Him- and please note He expects us to keep His
Sabbath as an act of loving obedience- let’s turn stiff necks toward our King
and follow Him!
(Hebrews 4:6)
Since then it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly
received the Good News did not enter in because of disobedience, 1 Footnote: 1 See
3:18. (Hebrews 4:7) “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
(Hebrews 4:8)
If Yehoshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day
after that. (Hebrews 4:9) So there
remains a
Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim. (Hebrews
4:10) For the one, having entered
into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as Elohim rested
from His own. (Hebrews 4:11) Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into
that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of
disobedience. 1 Footnote: 1 See
3:18. (Hebrews 4:12) The Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and
spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge (read- discern) the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:13)
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and
lay bare before the eyes of Him with who is our account. (Hebrews 4:14)
Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the
heavens, יהושע the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession.
(Hebrews 4:15)
For we do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. (Hebrews 4:16)
Therefore, let us come boldly
to the throne of favor, in order to receive compassion, and find favor for
timely help. (Obedience and Right
words that agree with our King open the Throne room of His favor for us) Remember Loved
One, there is no “hidden sin” from Him- When we are in deception and cover up
ourselves, and we may think that our sin is hidden- NOT! LET’S GET RIGHT WITH
OUR KING! It is indeed Teshuva Time- REPENT and GET REAL to have the intimate
relationship we were created for!
Yahshua
is Knocking at the Door of our Hearts – Will We Open the Door and Know Him? “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my
voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with
me.” Revelation 3:20
Yahshua
is knocking at the door of our hearts, in the Spirit, and wants to know us as
we desire to know Him. We don’t get more intimacy than we desire and hunger
for. ASV (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they
that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Perhaps we should be praying
for hunger and thirst for Him! Understand this with me- we will never get more
than we ask for and truly desire- YHWH will not force us to desire Him!
It
all begins when we put our hand to the door. Will you and I open the door and know YHWH Elohim? Let’s take action in this and allow our
cleansing! Amen and Amen.
Okay, continuing our review of
last week’s study loved one, Here is the Scripture about the intimacy and its
intended results for us; (John 15:1) “I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. (John 15:2) “Every branch in me that bears no fruit He takes away. And
every branch that bears fruit He prunes, so that it bears more fruit. (John 15:3) “You are already clean because of the Word which I have
spoken to you. (John 15:4) “Stay (remain; abide) in
me, and I stay (remain;
abide) in you. The branch is unable to bear fruit
of itself unless it stays in the vine; so neither you, unless you stay in me. (John 15:5) “I am the vine,
you are the branches. He who stays (remains; abides) in me, and I in him, he
bears much fruit. Because without me you are able to do naught! (John 15:6) “If anyone does not stay (remain; abide) in me, he is thrown away as
a branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and
they are burned. (John 15:7) “If you stay (remain; abide) in me, and my Words stay (remain; abide)
in you, you shall ask whatever you
wish, and it shall be done for you. (John
15:8) “In
this My Father is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and you shall be my
taught ones. (John 15:9) “As the Father has
loved me, I have also loved you. Stay (remain; abide) in my love. (John 15:10) “If you guard my
commands, you shall stay (remain;
abide) in
my love, 1 even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and
stay (remain; abide) in His love. Footnote: 1
See 14:15. (John 15:11) “These words I
have spoken to you, so that my joy might be in you, and that your joy might
be complete.
We must have the power to remain
in Him, the TRUE VINE. There are coming such great deceptions – possibly fallen
beings posing as light (Aliens/demons?), giants
in the Earth? The earth stammering like a drunkard, wars and plagues, etc. and MANY WILL FALL AWAY (1) His words must stay in us and come out of us- we are not
allowed to speak facts of the storm or evil report- we must agree with Yahshua;
(2) We must stay in Him by obeying
Him and His commands- we are not allowed to stay in pagan rituals and evil
habits/works and SAY we love Him- it is time we REPENT! (3) We are not allowed to NOT forgive others as there is only one
Torah (Law) giver and one Judge- if we do not obey and forgive others whether
they deserve forgiveness or not, we will not be forgiven- period. Ummmm- that
means we will have failed and be destined to HELL loved one! Not an optimal destination. This is HOW we are commanded to pray:
(Matthew 6:5)
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the
hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the
corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their
reward. (Matthew 6:6) “But you, when you
pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is
in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you
openly. (Matthew 6:7) “And when praying, do
not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard
for their many words. (Matthew 6:8) “Therefore do not be
like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (Matthew 6:9) “This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is
in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, (Matthew
6:10) let your reign come, let your desire be
done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew
6:11) ‘Give us today our daily bread. (Matthew 6:12)
‘And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Matthew 6:13)
‘And do not lead
us into trial, 1 but deliver us from the wicked one – because yours is the
reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: 1 See 26:41. (Matthew 6:14)
“For if you forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father shall also forgive you. (Matthew 6:15) “But if you do
not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your
trespasses.
We bless and do not curse- remember
we are not allowed to sit in the Judgment Seat! (Matthew 5:43)
“You heard that it was said, 1 ‘You shall love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Footnote: 1Hate
your enemy was “said,” not “written.” (Matthew
5:44) “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those
cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and
persecuting you, (Matthew 5:45) so that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good
and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 1 Footnote: 1 Luke
6:35, Acts 14:16-17. (Matthew 5:46) “If you love those
loving you, what reward do you have? Are the tax collectors not doing the same
too?
(Luke 6:26)
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! In the same manner
did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke
6:27) But
I say unto you that hear, love your
enemies, do good to them that hate you, (Luke
6:28) bless
them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. Obedience here
breaks hasatan’s cycle of curse off them and us!
There is judgment at the door- for even the righteous who
disobey YHWH! Let’s look at our example given us as judgment even falls
on Miriam, Aaron and Moses for their rebellions and none of them got to enter
the Promised Land: (Numbers 26:9) And the
sons of Eliyaḇ: Nemu’ĕl, and Dathan, and Aḇiram. This Dathan and Aḇiram,
were the called ones of the congregation, who contended against Mosheh and
against Aharon in the company of Qoraḥ, when they contended against יהוה, (Numbers 26:10) and the earth opened its mouth and
swallowed them up together with Qoraḥ when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and
fifty men. And they became a sign, (Judgment on a rebellious people)
Are we also rebelling with our tongues?
Let’s Obey and speak a GOOD REPORT!
(Numbers 27:12) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go up into this Mount
Aḇarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 27:13)
“And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people
as Aharon your brother was gathered, (Numbers 27:14)
because you rebelled against my mouth in
the Wilderness of Tsin, in the strife of the congregation, to set me apart
at the waters before their eyes.” These were the waters of Meriḇah, at
Qaḏĕsh in the Wilderness of Tsin. (Numbers 27:15) And Mosheh spoke to יהוה,
saying, (Numbers 27:16) “Let יהוה,
the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, (Numbers 27:17)
who goes out before them and comes in before them, who leads them out
and brings them in, so that the congregation of יהוה
be not like sheep without a shepherd.” (Numbers 27:18) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Take Yehoshua son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the
Spirit. And you shall lay your hand on him, (Numbers
27:19) and shall set him before
Elʽazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him charge before
their eyes, (Numbers 27:20) and shall put some of your esteem upon him,
so that all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl obey him. (Numbers 27:21)
“And he is to stand before Elʽazar the priest, who shall inquire before יהוה for him by the right-ruling of the Urim.
At his word they go out, and at his word they come in, both he and all the
children of Yisra’ĕl with him, all the congregation.” (Numbers
27:22) And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set
him before Elʽazar the priest and before the entire congregation, (Numbers 27:23) and laid his hands on him and
commissioned him, as יהוה commanded by the hand
of Mosheh. (Numbers 26:65) יהוה had said of them, “They shall certainly die in the wilderness.”
And not a man was left of them,
except Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
(The two spies with a good report and confession of what YHWH said- NOT the
facts reporting-- were all that entered the Promises!) With those strong reminders of what we are
to report in the storm; let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah
Study and Scriptures! We bless and curse not as that allows Yahshua’s Kingdom to
reign- when we curse for a curse we are allowing hasatan to reign in our lives!
Here
are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayikra “And He
called”
Leviticus 1:1-5:26; Isaiah 43:21-44:23; Hebrews 10:1-39
This is still so powerful to me
about Leviticus- not what many of us could even imagine. Most of us have heard
or even studied that in the Hebrew there is an equal distance letter sequencing
hidden code in the Torah- with the first two books spelling Torah- Torah- Torah
every 50 letters pointing to Leviticus and the last 2 books of Moses spelling
Torah- Torah- Torah backwards every 50 letters pointing us backward and
instructing us to look at the instructions of Leviticus carefully- in Leviticus
(Middle of 5 books of Moses) the code changes to every 7 letters spelling Yahushua,
Yahushua, Yahushua! Having said that- today we start on LEVITICUS orYahushua!
(Yeshua, Yahshua, Jesus)
(Leviticus 1:1) And
יהוה called to Mosheh, and spoke to him from
the Tent of Meeting, saying, (Leviticus 1:2) “Speak
to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When anyone of you brings an
offering to יהוה, you bring your
offering of the livestock, of the herd or of the flock. (Leviticus 1:3) ‘If his
offering is a burnt offering of the herd, let him bring a male, a perfect one.
Let him bring it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for his acceptance before יהוה. (Leviticus 1:4) ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
burnt offering, and it shall be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for
him. (Leviticus 1:5) ‘And he shall slaughter the bull before יהוה. And the sons of Aharon, the priests,
shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar which is
at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 1:6) ‘And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut
it into its pieces. (Leviticus 1:7) ‘And the sons of Aharon the priest shall put
fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. (Leviticus 1:8)
‘And the sons of Aharon, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, with the
head and the fat on the wood which is on the fire on the altar. (Leviticus 1:9)
‘But its entrails and its legs he washes with water. And the priest
shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by
fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה. (Leviticus 1:10)
‘And if his offering is from the flock, from the sheep or from the goats
as a burnt offering, let him bring a male, a perfect one. (Leviticus 1:11)
‘And he shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before יהוה. And the sons of Aharon, the priests,
shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around. (Leviticus
1:12) ‘And he shall cut it into
its pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall arrange them on the
wood which is on the fire on the altar. (Leviticus
1:13) ‘But the entrails and the
legs he washes with water. And the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the
altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה. (Leviticus 1:14) ‘And if the burnt offering of his offering to
יהוה is of birds, then he shall bring his
offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. (Leviticus
1:15) ‘And the priest shall bring
it to the altar, and shall wring off its head, and burn it on the altar, and
its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. (Leviticus 1:16)
‘And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and throw it beside the
altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. (Leviticus
1:17) ‘And he shall split it at
its wings, but not sever it. And the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the
wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a
sweet fragrance to יהוה. (Leviticus 2:1)
‘And when anyone brings a grain offering to יהוה, his offering is to be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on
it, and put frankincense on it, (Leviticus 2:2)
and he shall bring it to the sons of Aharon, the priests, and he shall take
from it his hand filled with fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And
the priest shall burn it as a remembrance portion on the altar, an offering
made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
(Leviticus 2:3)
‘And the rest of the grain offering is for Aharon and his sons, most
set-apart of the offerings to יהוה by fire. (Leviticus 2:4)
‘And when you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it
is of unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened thin
cakes anointed with oil. (Leviticus 2:5) ‘But if your offering is a grain offering on
the griddle, it is of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. (Leviticus 2:6)
‘Divide it into bits and pour oil on it, it is a grain offering. (Leviticus 2:7)
‘And if your offering is a grain offering, in a stewing-pot, it is made
of fine flour with oil. (Leviticus 2:8) ‘And you shall bring to יהוה the grain offering that is made of these, and shall present it
to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. (Leviticus
2:9) ‘And the priest shall take
from the grain offering a remembrance portion, and burn it on the altar, an
offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
(Leviticus 2:10) ‘And the rest of the grain offering is for
Aharon and his sons, most set-apart of the offerings to יהוה

any leaven or any honey in an offering to יהוה

sweet fragrance. (Leviticus 2:13) ‘And season with salt every offering of your
grain offering, and do not allow the salt of the covenant of your Elohim to be
lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you bring salt. (Leviticus 2:14)

first-fruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, crushed heads of new
grain. (Leviticus 2:15) ‘And you shall put oil on it, and lay
frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. (Leviticus
2:16) ‘And the priest shall burn
the remembrance portion, from its crushed grain and from its oil, with all the
frankincense, an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Never eat fat or blood- He will hold us
accountable!

‘And if that which he presents is a peace offering, if he is bringing it
of the herd, whether male or female, he brings a perfect one before יהוה. (Leviticus 3:2) ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of his
offering, and slaughter it at the door of the Tent of Meeting. And the sons of

kidneys. (Leviticus 3:5) ‘And the sons of Aharon shall burn it on the

an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.

front of the Tent of Meeting, and the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle its blood

that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, (Leviticus 3:10) and the two kidneys and the fat that

Thank
Yahushua (Yahshua, Yeshua, Jesus) for the Lamb of YHWH sacrifice- the blood of
the Lamb that washes white as snow!
(Leviticus 4:1) And
יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 4:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a being sins by
mistake against any of the commands of יהוה,
which are not to be done, and shall do any of them: (Leviticus
4:3) ‘If the anointed priest
sins, bringing guilt on the people, then he shall bring to יהוה for his sin which he has sinned a young bull, a perfect one, as
a sin offering, (Leviticus 4:4) and he shall bring the bull to the door of
the Tent of Meeting before יהוה, and shall lay his
hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter the bull before יהוה.
(Leviticus 4:5)
‘And the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring
it to the Tent of Meeting, (Leviticus 4:6) and the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before יהוה,
in front of the veil of the set-apart place. (Leviticus
4:7) ‘And the priest shall put
some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before יהוה, which is in the Tent of Meeting, and pour
all the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which
is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 4:8) ‘Then he takes all the fat of the bull as the
sin offering, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the
entrails, (Leviticus 4:9) and the two kidneys
and the fat that is on them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver, which
he removes with the kidneys, (Leviticus 4:10) as
it was taken from the bull of the peace offering. And the priest shall burn
them on the altar of the burnt offering. (Leviticus
4:11) ‘But the skin of the bull,
and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and dung – (Leviticus 4:12) all of the bull – he shall bring
outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it
on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it is burned. (Leviticus 4:13)
‘And if the entire congregation of Yisra’ĕl strays by mistake, and the
matter has been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done against
any of the commands of יהוה, which are not to be
done, and shall be guilty, (Leviticus 4:14)
when the sin which they have sinned becomes known, then the assembly shall
bring a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 4:15)
‘And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of
the bull before יהוה, and the bull shall
be slaughtered before יהוה. (Leviticus 4:16)
‘And the anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the
Tent of Meeting, (Leviticus 4:17) and the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood and sprinkle it seven times before יהוה,
in front of the veil, (Leviticus 4:18) and put some of the blood on the horns of the
altar which is before יהוה, which is in the Tent
of Meeting, and pour all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering,
which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus
4:19) ‘Then he takes all the fat
from it and shall burn it on the altar. (Leviticus
4:20) ‘And he shall do with the
bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering – so shall he do it. And the
priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
The Blood of the Lamb washes us from even our own unknown sins!
Hallelu-Yah!
(Leviticus 5:1)
‘And when a being sins in that he has heard the voice of swearing, and
is a witness, or has seen, or has known, but does not reveal it, he shall bear
his crookedness. (Leviticus 5:2) ‘Or when a being touches any unclean matter,
or the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the
carcass of unclean creeping creatures, and it has been hidden from him, he is
unclean and guilty. (Leviticus 5:3) ‘Or when he touches uncleanness of man, any
of his uncleanness by which he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him,
when he shall know it, then he shall be guilty. (Leviticus
5:4) ‘Or when a being swears,
speaking rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a
man swears rashly with an oath, and it has been hidden from him, when he shall
know it, then he shall be guilty of one of these. (Leviticus
5:5) ‘And it shall be, when he is
guilty of one of these, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned, (Leviticus 5:6)
and shall bring his guilt offering to יהוה for his sin
which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a female goat as a sin
offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him, for his sin. (Leviticus 5:7)
‘And if he is unable to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to יהוה, he who has sinned, two turtledoves or two
young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. (Leviticus 5:8)
‘And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall bring near that which
is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but not
sever it. (Leviticus 5:9) ‘And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of
the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. (Leviticus 5:10)
‘And he shall prepare the second as a burnt offering according to the
right-ruling, and the priest shall make atonement for him, for his sin which he
has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. (Leviticus
5:11) ‘But if he is unable to
bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for
his offering one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour as a sin offering. He puts no
oil on it, nor does he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. (Leviticus 5:12)
‘And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his hand
filled with it as a remembrance portion, and burn it on the altar according to
the offerings made by fire to יהוה. It is a sin
offering. (Leviticus 5:13) ‘And the priest shall make atonement for him,
for his sin that he has sinned in any of these, and it shall be forgiven him.
And it shall be the priest’s, like a grain offering.’ ” (Leviticus 5:14) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 5:15) “When
a being commits a trespass, and has sinned by mistake against the set-apart
matters of יהוה, then he shall bring to יהוה as his guilt offering a ram, a perfect one, from the flock,
with your valuation in sheqels of silver according to the sheqel of the
set-apart place, as a guilt offering. (Leviticus 5:16) “And he shall make good for the sin that he
has done against that which is set-apart, and shall add one-fifth to it and
give it to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and it shall be forgiven him. (Leviticus
5:17) “And when any being sins,
and has done what is not to be done, against any of the commands of יהוה, though he knew it not, yet he shall be
guilty and shall bear his crookedness. (Leviticus
5:18) “Then he shall bring to the
priest a ram, a perfect one, from the flock, with your valuation, as a guilt
offering. And the priest shall make atonement for his mistake he committed
unintentionally, though he did not know it, and it shall be forgiven him – (Leviticus 5:19) it is a guilt offering, he was truly
guilty before יהוה.”
Got Trouble? Time to Teshuva- REPENT! (Isaiah 43:18) “Do
not remember the former events, nor consider the events of old. (Isaiah 43:19)
“See, I am doing what is new, let it now spring forth. Do you not know
it? I am even making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:20)
“The beast of the field esteems me, the jackals and the ostriches,
because I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give
drink to My people, My chosen, (Isaiah 43:21) this people I have formed for Myself, let
them relate My praise. (Isaiah 43:22) “But
you have not called on Me, O Yaʽaqoḇ,
for you have been weary of Me, O Yisra’ĕl. (Isaiah 43:23)
“You have not brought me the sheep for your burnt offerings, nor have
you esteemed me with your slaughtering’s. I have not caused you to serve with
grain offerings, nor wearied you with incense. (Isaiah
43:24) “You have not bought me
sweet cane with silver, nor have you satisfied me with the fat of your
slaughtering’s. You have only burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me
with your crookednesses. (Isaiah 43:25) “I, I am He who
blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and remember your sins no more. (Isaiah 43:26)
“Remind me, let us enter into judgment,
together; relate, that you might be declared right. (Isaiah 43:27)
“Your first father sinned, and your
interpreters have transgressed against me. (Isaiah
43:28) “I
have profaned the chief ones of the set-apart place, and I have delivered up
Yaʽaqoḇ to the curse, and Yisra’ĕl to scorn.
Repentance brings our deliverance- Hallelu-YAH again! (Isaiah 44:1)
“But now hear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, and Yisra’ĕl
whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:2) This said יהוה who made you and formed you from
the womb, which helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, and Yeshurun1,
whom I have chosen. Footnote: 1 A poetical title for Yisra’ĕl,
meaning the Straight One or the Upright One. This poetical title is also found
in Dt. 32:15, 33:5 & 33:26. (Isaiah 44:3) ‘For I pour water
on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Spirit on your seed,
and my blessing on your offspring, (Isaiah 44:4) and they shall spring up among
the grass like willows by streams of water.’ (Isaiah
44:5) “One says, ‘I belong to יהוה; another calls himself by the name of
Yaʽaqoḇ; another writes with his hand, ‘Unto יהוה,’
and names himself by the name of Yisra’ĕl. (Isaiah
44:6) “Thus
said יהוה, Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the
Last, besides me there is no Elohim. (Isaiah
44:7) ‘And who is like me? Let
him call and declare it, and lay it before me, since I appointed the
everlasting people. And the events that are coming and those that do come, let
them declare these to them. (Isaiah 44:8) ‘Do not fear, nor be afraid. Have I not since
made you hear, and declared it? You are my witnesses. Is there an Eloah besides
me? There is no other Rock, I know not one.’ ” (Isaiah
44:9) Those who make an idol, all of them are emptiness, and their
delights do not profit. And they are their own witnesses; they neither see nor
know, so that they are put to shame. (Isaiah 44:10) Who would form a mighty one or cast an idol
that is of no value? (Isaiah 44:11) See, all his companions are ashamed, and the
workmen, they are but men. Let them all be gathered together, let them stand
up, let them fear; let them be put to shame, altogether. (Isaiah 44:12)
The craftsman in iron with the tools works one in the coals, and
fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms. Even so,
he shall be hungry, and has no strength; he drinks no water and is weary. (Isaiah 44:13)
The carpenter stretches out his rule, he outlines it with chalk; he
fashions it with a plane, and he outlines it with the compass, and makes it
like the figure of a man, according to the comeliness of a man, to remain in
the house. (Isaiah 44:14) He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes
cypress and oak, which he raised among the trees of the forest. He has planted
a pine, and the rain nourishes it. (Isaiah 44:15) And it shall be for a man to burn, for he
takes some of it and warms himself. He also kindles it and shall bake bread. He
also makes a mighty one and bows himself to it – has made it a carved image and
falls down before it. (Isaiah 44:16) Half of it he shall burn in the fire; with
this half he eats meat. He roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He also warms
himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.” (Isaiah 44:17)
And the rest of it he makes into a mighty one, his carved image. He
falls down before it and worships, prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you
are my mighty one.” (Isaiah 44:18) They do not know nor understand, for He has
smeared their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from understanding. (Isaiah 44:19)
And no one recalls it to his heart, nor is there neither knowledge nor
understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire, and I have also
baked bread on its coals; I have roasted meat and eaten it. And shall I make
the rest of it an abomination? Should I fall down before a log of wood?” (Isaiah 44:20)
Feeding on ashes, a deceived heart turns him aside, and he does not
deliver his being, nor says, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?” (Isaiah 44:21)
“Remember these matters, O Yaʽaqoḇ,
and Yisra’ĕl, for you are my servant! I have formed you, you are my servant, O
Yisra’ĕl, do not forget me! (Isaiah 44:22) “I shall wipe out
your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to me, for
I shall redeem you.” (Isaiah 44:23) Sing, O heavens,
for יהוה shall do it! Shout O depths of the earth!
Break forth into singing, O mountains, forest, and every tree in it! יהוה shall redeem Yaʽaqoḇ, and make Himself
clear in Yisra’ĕl.
Torah includes (Instructions and Moedim)
the shadow or picture of what is coming- appointments!
(Hebrews 10:1) For the Torah,
having a shadow of the good matters to come, and not the image itself of
the matters, was never able to make perfect those who draw near with
the same slaughter offerings which they offer continually year by year. (Hebrews 10:2)
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? Because those who served
once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. (Hebrews 10:3)
But in those offerings is a reminder of sins year by year. (Hebrews 10:4)
For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (Hebrews 10:5)
Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal
offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me. (Hebrews 10:6) “In burnt
offerings and offerings for sin you did not delight.1 Footnote: 1
Psalms 40:6, 7. (Hebrews 10:7) “Then I said, ‘See, I come – in the roll of
the book it has been written concerning me – to do your desire, O Elohim.’ ” (Hebrews 10:8)
Saying above, “Slaughter and meal offering, and burnt offerings, and offerings
for sin You did not desire, nor delighted in,” which are offered according to
the Torah, (Hebrews 10:9) then He said, “See, I come to do Your desire,
O Elohim.” He takes away the first to establish the second. (Hebrews 10:10)
By that desire we have been set apart through the offering of the body
of יהושע Messiah once for all. (Hebrews 10:11)
And indeed every priest stands day by day doing service, and repeatedly
offering the same slaughter offerings which are never able to take away
sins. (Hebrews 10:12) But He, having offered one slaughter offering
for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of Elohim, (Hebrews 10:13)
waiting from that time onward until His enemies are made a footstool for
His feet. (Hebrews 10:14) For by one offering He has perfected for all
time those who are being set apart. (Hebrews 10:15) And the Set-apart Spirit also witnesses to
us, for after having said before, (Hebrews 10:16)
“This is the covenant that I shall make
with them after those days, says יהוה, giving my laws into their
hearts, and in their minds I shall write them,” 1 Footnote: 1 Jeremiah
31:33, Hebrews. 8:8-12. (Hebrews 10:17) and,
“Their sins
and their lawlessness’s I shall remember no more.” (Hebrews 10:18)
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer a slaughter offering
for sin. (Hebrews 10:19) So, brothers, having boldness to enter into
the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
(Hebrews 10:20)
by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil,
that is, His flesh, (Hebrews 10:21) and having a High Priest over the
House of Elohim, (Hebrews 10:22) let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of
belief (faith-trust), having our
hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies washed with clean
water. (Hebrews 10:23) Let us hold fast
the confession of our expectation
without yielding, for He who promised is trustworthy. (Hebrews 10:24)
And let us be concerned for one another in
order to stir up love and good works, 1 Foot note (Hebrews
10:25)
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the habit of
some, but encouraging, and so much more as you see the Day coming near. (Keep the Moedim- samples- rehearsals-
appointments- FEASTS of YHWH) (Hebrews 10:26) For if we sin
purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a slaughter offering for sins,
1 Footnote: 1 See also
6:6, Hebrews 9:7, Numbers 15:15-28. (Hebrews
10:27) but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire
which is about to consume the opponents. (Hebrews
10:28) Anyone who has disregarded
the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three
witnesses. (Hebrews 10:29) How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve
who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant
by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor?
(Hebrews 10:30)
For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And
again, “יהוה shall judge His people.” (Note: YHWH judges His people- not us- we
are not allowed on the Judgment Seat as we know not the intents and purposes of
the hearts of men!) (Hebrews 10:31) It is fearsome to fall into the hands of
the living Elohim. (Hebrews 10:32) But remember the former days, when, after you
were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings. (Hebrews 10:33)
On the one hand you were exposed to reproaches and pressures, and on the
other hand you became sharers with those who were so treated, (Hebrews 10:34)
for you sympathized with me in my chains, and you accepted with joy the
seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have a better and a lasting
possession for yourselves in the heavens. (Hebrews
10:35) Do not, then, lose your
boldness, which has great reward. (Hebrews 10:36) For you have need of endurance (patience-standing), so that when you
have done the desire of Elohim, you receive the promise: (Hebrews 10:37) “For yet a little while – He who is
coming shall come and shall not delay.” (Hebrews
10:38) “But the righteous shall
live by belief (faith-trust),
but if anyone draws back, my being has no pleasure in him.” (Hebrews 10:39)
But we are not of those who draw back to destruction, but of belief
(Faith-trust) to the preservation of
life.
Loved One, my prayer for you is that you and all your loved ones
become assured of our promises of His great deliverance for us. That we walk by
faith and trust and NOT BY SIGHT! He who called us is worthy of our praise and
honor. Thank you for your continued diligence in your prayers for Billie and me
and our loved ones—you are indeed Family- LOVED ONES! Yahshua declared this
when He questioned; “Who are my brothers and sister and mother? These who do
the will of my Father! You are Truth Searchers who She’mah- O Israel- Listen,
Hear and Obey out of LOVE for Him! This has us submitting to His words/commands
and in so doing resisting the devil and he must flee! Hallelu-Yah!
One last prayer request for you and ALL your loved ones; (Psalms 119:10) I have sought you with all my heart; Let
me not stray from your commands! (Psalms 119:11) I have treasured up (hidden) your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. (Psalms 119:12)
Blessed are you, O יהוה! Teach me your laws. (Psalms 119:13)
With my lips I have recounted all the right-rulings of your mouth. (Psalms 119:14)
I have rejoiced in the way of your witnesses, as over-all riches. (Psalms 119:15)
I meditate on your orders, and regard your ways. (Psalms 119:16) I delight 1 myself in your laws; I do not
forget your word. Footnote: 1 See also vv.
24, 35, 47, 70, 77, 92, 143, 174, Romans. 7:22. (Psalms
119:17) Do good to your servant,
let me live and I will guard your word. (Psalms
119:18) Open my eyes, that I
might see Wonders from Your Torah.
Hallelu-Yah! As you draw ever near to our
coming King- Shalom to your home loved one,

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

them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
