Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is
attached for ease of print and study format- 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!
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 (as always) at end of
this week’s study-
What a
fabulous Season of our Joy shared with wonderful believing brothers and sisters
in Africa! The sort of tents they have here are so much better made than what I
always bought and used in Texas. They use canvas and not nylon—wow. This is the
sort of tent one might actually need during troubling times! I was told by a
dear friend that they should last 20-30 years! Reg and Lynette- thanks for your
marvelous hospitality and friendship! All the wonderful believers in Africa-
THANK YOU- you are dear to our hearts--we made some wonderful memories! Let’s
go DO THE GOSPEL as Lindsay Ann told me 3 times!
There
appears to be a greater shaking coming on the USA and the entire planet. Volkswagen, now Audi and others lead to a meltdown
in the European Union—seems quite planned for a breakup of the E.U. so that all
(Yep- as the USA is prepared also now to
GET IT DONE) can melt down their FIAT currencies---wipe out debt with nonpayment
of bonds, etc. and all countries come up “Scott-free” as to blame- with new “Asset
backed” currencies! They all seek greater control over the citizens of the
world. This is a great time for believers to move away from fear and
uncertainty and draw near to the Creator…who laughs at these wicked men and
holds them in derision!
Psalms 2:1
Why do the
gentiles (Nations) rage 1, and the peoples meditate emptiness? (Vain things) Footnote:
1 Acts 4:25-26. Psalms 2:2 the
sovereigns of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together,
Against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say, Psalms 2:3 “Let us tear apart their bonds, and throw
away their ropes from us.” Psalms 2:4 He who is
sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them. Psalms 2:5 Then He speaks to them in His wrath, and
troubles them in His rage, saying, Psalms 2:6
“But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, my set-apart mountain.” Psalms 2:7 “I inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to me, ‘you are My Son, today I have brought you
forth. Psalms 2:8 ‘Ask of me, and I make the
gentiles your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession. Psalms 2:9 ‘Break them with a rod of iron; dash them
to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” Psalms 2:10
and now, be wise, O sovereigns; be instructed, you rulers of the earth. Psalms 2:11 Serve יהוה
with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psalms 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be enraged, and you
perish in the way, for soon His wrath is soon to be kindled. Blessed are all
those taking refuge in Him.
Many of you loved ones may
already be experiencing the economic fallout and the general scorn (hate) for believers-- from Africa, Europe,
Costa Rica, Panama, to the USA (Worldwide).
Whether they finish the GLOBAL RESET of currencies (Asset backed and remove the term FIAT) and postpone financial
meltdown or determine to start their ENDGAME and continue to collapse the world
economy purposely. I expect we shall all know on or before the end of this year—hmm
maybe end of November? ISIS is being
removed from Syria as all countries now need them removed---they served their
purpose in creating need to all be “in union” in trade relations---so all can
now MAKE MONEY and fix the world economy—or at least gain more control and
ability to control the people!
We will (Read MUST)
rely more
and more on Him and His plan as we seek Him diligently in prayer and fasting.
(Hebrews
12:22) But you have drawn near to Mount Tsiyon and
to the city of the living Elohim, to the heavenly Yerushalayim, to myriads of
messengers, (Hebrews 12:23) to the entire gathering and assembly of the
first-born having been enrolled in heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and
to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, (Hebrews
12:24) and to יהושע the Mediator 1 of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which
speaks better than the blood of Heḇel. Footnote:
1 See 8:6. (Hebrews 12:25) Take heed not to refuse the One speaking. For
if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn
away from Him from heaven, (Hebrews 12:26) whose voice shook the earth then, but now He
has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the
heaven.” (Hebrews 12:27) And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the
removal of what is shaken – as having been made – so that the unshaken matters
might remain. (Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, receiving an unshakeable reign,
let us hold the favor, through which we serve Elohim pleasingly with reverence
and awe, (Hebrews 12:29) for indeed, our Elohim
is a consuming fire.
Apparently, whatever we are found
trusting better have the solid foundation under it which is Moses (Torah) and the prophets. A close friend
recently reminded of the verse below. (Proverbs 28:8)
He who increases his possessions by interest and profit gathers it for
him who shows favor to the poor. (Proverbs 28:9) He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination1. Footnote: 1 See
also 15:29, Isaiah 59:1-2, John 9:31, 1 John 3:22. (Proverbs 28:10)
He, who causes the straight to go astray in an evil way, falls into his
own pit; but the perfect inherit the good. (Proverbs
28:11) A rich man is wise in his
own eyes, but the poor who has understanding searches him out.
I can
also say; whoever rejects the Holy Spirit (Yes, even
unknowingly) will also find themselves hopeless! Why do I make such a bold
statement? Many Torah keepers have unknowingly rejected the Holy Spirit and
many Christians have rejected the Torah and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Why do they reject the Holy Spirit? They
are FEARFUL OF THE SUPERNATURAL and afraid of getting a demon. We’ll look
together…
First Yahushua (Yeshua, Jesus) was filled with the Holy Spirit
(Mark 1:8) “I indeed did immerse you in water, but He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit.” (Mark 1:9) And
it came to be in those days that יהושע came from Natsareth of Galil, and was immersed by Yoḥanan in
the Yardĕn. (Mark 1:10) And immediately, coming up from the water, He
saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit coming down on Him like a dove. (Mark 1:11)
And a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did
delight.” (Mark 1:12) And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the
wilderness. (Mark 1:13) And He was there in the wilderness forty days
(fasting and testing by hasatan),
tried by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the messengers (Angels) attended Him. (Mark 1:14)
And after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע
came to Galil, proclaiming the Good News of the reign of Elohim, (Mark 1:15) and saying, “The
time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and
believe in the Good News.”
Then Yahushua spends the remainder of
Chapter One, all of Chapter Two casting out demons and healing the sick, and we
pick up the story in Chapter Three.
(Mark 3:10) For He healed many, so that as many as had
afflictions fell upon Him to touch Him. (Mark 3:11) And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw
Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of Elohim.” (Mark 3:12)
But He warned them many times that they should not make Him known. (Mark 3:13)
And He went up on the mountain and called to Him whom He wished, and they
came to Him. (Mark 3:14) And He appointed twelve to be with Him, and
to be sent out to proclaim, (Mark 3:15) and to
possess authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.
Next we see hasatan’s counter
attack and accusing (hasatan always uses
those who are choosing Him as their God and Father). This attack is always guaranteed as hasatan comes to steal the seed (the Word) that was planted that will
produce fruit that remains. Hasatan is not fearful of you and me; but he is
deathly afraid of Yahushua’s seed (His
word) because it has the power within itself to produce fruit it was sent
for. This is why we must always stand firm in the Word (Yahushua) that we might receive the thing promised, and not agree
with facts or what is seen. What is “seen” (facts)
is/are temporal (temporary) and what
is “unseen” is eternal- Yahushua said, “My words are life and health and healing to all your flesh,”
and “Heaven and
Earth will pass away, but my words will remain forever.” The accusation is that the power
is not from the Holy Spirit but Beelzebub (hasatan).
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ASSIGN THE WORKS OF THE HOLY
SET APART SPIRIT TO DEMONS- THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THIS OFFENSE!
(Mark 3:21) And when His relatives heard about this, they
went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.” (Mark 3:22)
And the scribes who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Beʽelzebul,” and, “He casts out demons by the
ruler of the demons.”
(Mark 3:23) And calling them near He said to them in
parables, “How
is Satan able to cast out Satan? (Mark
3:24) “And if a reign is divided against itself, that
reign is unable to stand. (Mark 3:25) “And if a house is divided against itself, that house is
unable to stand. (Mark 3:26) “And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided,
he is unable to stand, but has an end. (Mark
3:27) “No one is able to enter a strong man’s house
and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall
plunder his house. (Mark 3:28) “Truly, I say to you,
all the sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they
speak, (Mark 3:29) but he who blasphemes
against the Set-apart Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is subject to
everlasting judgment,” (Mark 3:30) because they said, “He has an unclean
spirit.”
Last week we discussed leprosy
and we now turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion and about
YHWH’s plan for CLEANSING THE LEPER.
Remember He promises IF we repent and obey Him He will put (allow) none of the diseases of the Egyptians on us! (Exo 15:26)
And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do what is right in His
eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall
bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.”
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
Metzorah- Cleansing the Leper
Leviticus 14:1-15:33; Malachi 3:1-4-6 (Extended);
Romans 6:9-23 (Extended);
2 Samuel Chapters 4, 5, and 6
(Leviticus 14:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 14:2) “This shall be the Torah of the
leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest, (Leviticus 14:3)
and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look and
see, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, (Leviticus
14:4) then the priest shall
command, and he shall take for him who is to be cleansed two live and clean
birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (Leviticus
14:5) “And the priest shall
command, and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running
water. (Leviticus 14:6) “Let him take the live bird and the cedar
wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the
blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. (Leviticus 14:7)
“And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from
the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird loose
in the open field. (Leviticus 14:8) “And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his
garments, and shall shave off all his hair and wash himself in water, and shall
be clean. Then after that he comes into the camp, but shall stay outside his
tent seven days. (Leviticus 14:9) “And on the seventh day it shall be that he
shaves all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his
hair he shaves off. And he shall wash his garments and wash his body in water,
and shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:10) “And on the eighth day he takes two male
lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, and
three-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain
offering, and one log of oil. (Leviticus 14:11) “And the priest who is cleansing shall
present the man who is to be cleansed, with these offerings, before יהוה, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 14:12)
“And the priest shall take one male lamb and bring it as a guilt
offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before יהוה. (Leviticus
14:13) “And he shall slaughter
the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt
offering, in a set-apart place. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering,
belongs to the priest. It is most set-apart. (Leviticus
14:14) “And the priest shall take
some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip
of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right
hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus
14:15) “And the priest shall take
some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. (Leviticus 14:16)
“And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his
left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times
before יהוה. (Leviticus
14:17) “And of the rest of the
oil in his hand, the priest puts some on the tip of the right ear of him who is
to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his
right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering. (Leviticus
14:18) “And the rest of the oil
that is in the priest’s hand he puts on the head of him who is to be cleansed.
And the priest shall make atonement for him before יהוה.
(Leviticus 14:19) “And the priest
shall make the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed
from his uncleanness. Then afterwards he slaughters the burnt offering. (Leviticus 14:20)
“And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on
the altar. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:21)
“But if he is poor and is unable to afford it, then he shall take one
male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth
of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log
of oil, (Leviticus 14:22) and two turtledoves
or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, and one shall be a sin
offering and the other a burnt offering. (Leviticus
14:23) “And he shall bring them
to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:24)
“And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of
oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:25) “And he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt
offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and
put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus 14:26)
“Then the priest pours some of the oil into the palm of his own left
hand. (Leviticus 14:27) “And the priest shall sprinkle with his right
finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before יהוה. (Leviticus
14:28) “And the priest shall put
some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is
to be cleansed, and on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his
right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering. (Leviticus 14:29)
“And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he puts on the
head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before יהוה. (Leviticus
14:30) “And he shall prepare one
of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, (Leviticus 14:31) that which he is able to afford,
the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain
offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed
before יהוה. (Leviticus
14:32) “This is the Torah for one
who had an infection of leprosy, who is unable to afford for his cleansing.”
The Scriptures below reminded me of mold
being found and making some real estate worthless at great financial loss here
in USA! (If only we knew how important obedience is)
(Leviticus 14:33) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 14:34) “When you come into the land of
Kenaʽan, which I am giving you as a possession, and I put a plague of leprosy
in a house in the land of your possession, (Leviticus
14:35) then shall the one who owns the house come and inform the priest,
saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house.’ (Leviticus 14:36) “And the priest shall command, and they shall
empty the house, before the priest goes in to look at to look at the house. (Leviticus 14:37)
“And he shall look at the plague and see, if the plague is on the walls
of the house with sunken places, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep
in the wall, (Leviticus 14:38) then the priest shall go out of the house, to
the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. (Leviticus 14:39)
“And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look and see, if
the plague has spread on the walls of the house, (Leviticus
14:40) then the priest shall
command, and they shall remove the stones with the plague in them, and they
shall throw them outside the city, into an unclean place, (Leviticus 14:41)
while he lets the house be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that
they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. (Leviticus 14:42)
“And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those
stones, and take other mortar and plaster the house. (Leviticus
14:43) “And if the plague comes
back and breaks out in the house, after he has removed the stones, after he has
scraped the house, and after it is plastered, (Leviticus
14:44) then the priest shall come
and look and see, if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active
leprosy in the house, it is unclean. (Leviticus 14:45) “And he shall break down the house, its
stones, and its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall bring
them outside the city to an unclean place. (Leviticus
14:46) “And he who goes into the
house, all the days while it is shut up, becomes unclean until evening. (Leviticus 14:47)
“And he who lies down in the house has to wash his garments, and he who
eats in the house has to wash his garments. (Leviticus
14:48) “However, if the priest
indeed comes in and looks at it and sees that the plague has not spread in the
house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house
clean, because the plague is healed. (Leviticus 14:49) “And to cleanse the house, he shall take two
birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (Leviticus
14:50) “And he shall kill one of
the birds in an earthen vessel over running water, (Leviticus
14:51) and he shall take the
cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the live bird, and dip them in
the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and shall sprinkle the
house seven times. (Leviticus 14:52) “He shall thus cleanse the house with the
blood of the bird and the running water and the live bird, and with the cedar
wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet, (Leviticus
14:53) and he shall let the live bird loose outside the city in the open
field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:54)
“This is the Torah for any infection of leprosy, and eruption, (Leviticus 14:55) and for leprosy of a garment, and
of a house, (Leviticus 14:56) and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a
bright spot, (Leviticus 14:57) to teach when it is unclean and when it is
clean. This is the Torah of leprosy.”
Discharges from the flesh
(Leviticus 15:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Leviticus 15:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and say to them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his flesh, his discharge is
unclean. (Leviticus 15:3) ‘And this is his uncleanness in regard to his
discharge; whether his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh is stopped
up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. (Leviticus
15:4) ‘Any bed becomes unclean on
which he who has the discharge lies, and any object on which he sits becomes
unclean. (Leviticus 15:5) ‘And anyone who touches his bed has to wash
his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:6)
‘And he who sits on any object on which he who has the discharge sat,
has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 15:7) ‘And he who touches the flesh of him who has
the discharge has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and shall be
unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:8) ‘And when he who has the discharge spits on
him who is clean, then he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water,
and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:9) ‘Any saddle on which he who has the discharge
rides becomes unclean. (Leviticus 15:10) ‘And whoever touches any of that which was
under him is unclean until evening. And he who is carrying them up has to wash
his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:11)
‘And anyone whom he who has the discharge touches without rinsing his
hands in water, shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and be unclean
until evening. (Leviticus 15:12) ‘And the earthen vessel which he who has the
discharge touches has to be broken, and every wooden vessel has to be rinsed in
water. (Leviticus 15:13) ‘And when he who has a discharge is cleansed
of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing,
and shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his flesh in running water, and be
clean. (Leviticus 15:14) ‘And on the eighth day he takes for himself
two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and shall come before יהוה, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall give them to the
priest. (Leviticus 15:15) ‘And the priest shall prepare them, the one
as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. And the priest shall make
atonement for him before יהוה because of his
discharge. (Leviticus 15:16) ‘And when a man has an emission of semen,
then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:17)
‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be
washed with water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus
15:18) ‘And when a woman lies
with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water,
and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:19) ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the
discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven
days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:20) ‘And
whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on
is unclean. (Leviticus 15:21) ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash
his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:22)
‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his
garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:23)
‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he
touches it, he is unclean until evening. (Leviticus
15:24) ‘And if any man lies with
her at all, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days. And
any bed he lies on is unclean. (Leviticus 15:25) ‘And when a woman has a discharge of blood
for many days, other than at the time of her monthly separation, or when she
discharges beyond her usual time of monthly separation, all the days of her
unclean discharge shall be as the days of her monthly separation. She is
unclean. (Leviticus 15:26) ‘Any bed on which she lies all the days of
her discharge is to her as the bed of her monthly separation. And whatever she
sits on is unclean, as the uncleanness of her monthly separation. (Leviticus 15:27)
‘And anyone who touches them is unclean, and shall wash his garments,
and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:28) ‘But if
she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count for herself seven days,
and after that she is clean. (Leviticus 15:29) ‘And on the eighth day she takes for herself
two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to
the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 15:30) ‘And the priest shall prepare the one as a
sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and the priest shall make
atonement for her before יהוה for the discharge of
her uncleanness. (Leviticus 15:31) ‘Thus you shall separate the children of
Yisra’ĕl from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they
defile My Dwelling Place which is in their midst. (Leviticus
15:32) ‘This is the Torah for one
who has a discharge, and for him who emits semen and is unclean thereby, (Leviticus 15:33) and for her who is sick in her
monthly separation, and for one who has a discharge, either man or woman, and
for him who lies with an unclean woman.’ ”
YAHUAH (Yahweh) CHANGES NOT
(Also Hebrews 13:8)
(Malachi 3:1)
“See, I am sending my messenger 1,
and he shall prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Master you are
seeking comes to His Hĕḵal (Temple), even the Messenger (Messiah) 2
of the covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said יהוה of hosts. Footnotes: 1 generally
interpreted as Yoḥanan the Immerser. 2 The Messiah, obviously. (Malachi 3:2)
“And who is able to bear the day of His coming, and who is able to stand
when He appears? He is like the fire of a refiner, and like the soap of a
launderer. (Malachi 3:3) “And He shall sit as a refiner and a cleanser
of silver. And He shall cleanse the sons of Lĕwi, and refine them as gold and
silver, and they shall belong to יהוה,
bringing near an offering in righteousness. (Malachi
3:4) “Then shall the offering of
Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim be pleasant to יהוה,
as in the days of old, as in former years. (Malachi
3:5) “And
I shall draw near to you for right-ruling. And I shall be a swift
witness against the practicers of witchcraft, and against adulterers, and
against them that swear to falsehood, and against those who oppress the wage
earner in his wages and widows and the fatherless, and those who turn away a
sojourner and do not fear me,” said יהוה
of hosts. (Malachi 3:6) “For I am יהוה, I shall not
change 1, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to
an end. Footnote: 1 James 1:17. (Malachi 3:7)
“From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my laws and did
not guard them. Turn back to me, and I shall turn back to you,” said יהוה of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what shall we
turn back?’ (Malachi 3:8) “Would a man rob Elohim? Yet you are robbing me! But you said, ‘In what
have we robbed you?’ In the tithe and the offering! (Malachi 3:9)
“You have cursed me with a curse, for you are robbing me, this nation,
all of it!
The “STOREHOUSE” may be a congregation
(those who spiritually feed you) but likely we are still accountable to Him for
His tithe and offerings! Remember additionally who Yahweh commands the tithe
for-
(James
1:27)
Clean (Pure) and undefiled religion
before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows
in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained (Unspotted - unblemished from sin) from the world. (Exodus
22:22) “Do not afflict any widow
or fatherless child (orphan). (Deuteronomy 10:17)
“For יהוה your Elohim is Elohim of mighty ones and Master of masters, the
great Ěl, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. (Deuteronomy 10:18)
“He executes right-ruling for the fatherless
(orphans) and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and a garment. (Deuteronomy
24:19) “When you reap
your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field,
do not go back to get it. Let it be for the stranger,
for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that יהוה your Elohim
might bless you in all the work of your hands.
(Deuteronomy 26:12) “When you have completed tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third
year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to
the Lĕwite (Sold out to Yah and has no
possessions), to the stranger,
to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your
gates and have been satisfied, (Deuteronomy 26:13) then you shall say before יהוה your Elohim,
‘I have put away the set-apart portion from my house, and also have
given it to the Lĕwite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the
widow, according to all your command which You have commanded me. I have not
transgressed your commands, nor have I forgotten. (Deuteronomy
26:14) ‘I have not eaten any of
it when in neither mourning, nor have I removed any of it for any unclean use,
nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to all that you have commanded
me. (Deuteronomy 26:15) ‘Look from your set-apart dwelling place,
from the heavens, and bless your people Yisra’ĕl and the land which You have
given us, as you swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ (Deuteronomy 26:16) “Today יהוה
your Elohim is commanding you to do these laws and right-rulings. And you shall
guard and do them with all your heart and with all your being. (Deuteronomy 26:17)
“You have today caused יהוה to proclaim to be
your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and His commands, and
His right-rulings, and to obey His voice. (Deuteronomy
26:18) “And
יהוה
has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession,
as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His commands, (Deuteronomy 26:19)
so as to set you high above all nations
which He has made, for a praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to
be a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
Great Promises for tithing—BUT WHERE is the storehouse? I suspect- widows and orphans and
those actually out DOING THE GOSPEL—Torah- Prophets- and Renewed Covenant!
(Malachi 3:10) “Bring all the
tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in my house. And please prove me
in this,” said יהוה of hosts, “whether I
do not open for you the windows of the heavens, and shall pour out for you
boundless blessing! (Malachi 3:11) “And I shall rebuke the devourer for you, so that it does
not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor does the vine fail to bear fruit for
you in the field,” said יהוה
of hosts. (Malachi 3:12) “And all nations
shall call you blessed, for you shall be a land of delight,” said יהוה of hosts.
(Malachi 3:13)
“Your words have been harsh against me,” said יהוה,
“but you have said, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ (Malachi
3:14) “You have said, ‘It is
worthless to serve Elohim. And what did we gain when we guarded His Charge, and
when we walked as mourners before יהוה
of hosts? (Malachi 3:15) ‘And now we are calling the proud blessed –
not only are the doers of wrongness built up, but they also try Elohim and
escape.’ ” (Malachi 3:16) Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה
listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who
fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. (Malachi 3:17)
“And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה
of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured possession. And I shall spare
them as a man spares his own son who serves him. (Malachi
3:18) “Then you shall again see
the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves
Elohim and one who does not serve Him. (Malachi 4:1) “For look, the day shall come, burning like a
furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day
that shall come shall burn them up;” said יהוה of hosts,
“which leaves to them neither root nor branch. (Malachi
4:2) “But to you who fear My Name
the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall
go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall. (Malachi
4:3) “And you shall trample the
wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day
that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 4:4)
“Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded him in
Ḥorĕḇ for all Yisra’ĕl – laws and right-rulings. (Malachi
4:5) “See, I am sending you Ěliyah 1 the prophet before the coming of
the great and awesome day of יהוה. Footnote: 1 Luke 1:17. (Malachi 4:6)
“And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with
utter destruction 1.” Footnote: 1 Zechariah 14:11.
What
or WHO we obey is our master. WE must understand non-believers MUST obey
their master- just as we believers Must obey our coming KING Yahshua!
(Romans 6:8) And if we died with Messiah, we
believe that we shall also live with Him, (Romans 6:9) knowing that Messiah, having been raised from
the dead, dies no more – death no longer rules over Him. (Romans 6:10)
For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives,
He lives to Elohim. (Romans 6:11) So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead
indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master. (Romans 6:12)
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its
desires, (Romans 6:13) neither present your members as instruments
of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim. (Romans 6:14)
For sin shall not rule over you, for you are not under the law but under
favor. (Romans 6:15) What then? Shall we sin because we are not
under Torah but under favor? Let it not be! (Romans
6:16) Do you not know that to whom you present
yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey,
whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? (Romans 6:17)
But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from
the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted. (Romans 6:18)
And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
(Romans 6:19)
I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you
did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness
resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of
righteousness resulting in set-apartness. (Romans
6:20) For when you were servants
of sin, you were free from righteousness. (Romans
6:21) What fruit, therefore, were
you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death. (Romans 6:22)
But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of
Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end,
everlasting life. (Romans 6:23) The wages of sin
is death, but the favorable gift of Elohim
is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
(2 Samuel 4:1)
And the son of Sha’ul heard that Aḇnĕr had died in Ḥeḇron, and
he lost heart, and all Yisra’ĕl was troubled. (2
Samuel 4:2) And the son of Sha’ul
had two men, commanders of bands, and the name of one was Baʽanah and the name of
the other Rĕḵaḇ, sons of Rimmon the be’ĕrothite, of the children of Binyamin.
For be’ĕroth was also reckoned to Binyamin, (2 Samuel
4:3) because the Be’ĕrothites fled to Gittayim and have been sojourners
there until this day. (2 Samuel 4:4) Now Yehonathan, son of Sha’ul, had a son who
was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Sha’ul and
Yehonathan came from Yizreʽĕl, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it came
to be, as she hurried to flee, that he fell and became lame. And his name was
Mephiḇosheth. (2 Samuel 4:5) So the sons of Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite,
Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah, went and came at about the heat of the day to the house of
Ishbosheth, who was lying on his bed at noon. (2
Samuel 4:6) And they came into
the midst of the house, to fetch wheat, and they struck him in the stomach, and
Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his brother escaped. (2 Samuel
4:7) Thus they came into the
house when he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they smote him, and slew
him, and beheaded him. And they took his head, and went the way of the desert
plain all night, (2 Samuel 4:8) and brought the
head of Ishbosheth to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron, and said to the sovereign, “See, the
head of Ishbosheth, the son of Sha’ul your enemy, who sought your life. So יהוה has given my master the sovereign vengeance on Sha’ul and his
seed this day.” (2 Samuel 4:9) And Dawiḏ answered Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his
brother, sons of Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite, and said to them, “As יהוה lives, who has redeemed my life out of all distress, (2 Samuel 4:10) when someone reported to me, saying,
‘See, Sha’ul is dead,’ and he was a bearer of good news in his own eyes, I then
took hold of him and slew him in Tsiqlaḡ, which was the reward I gave him for
his news. (2 Samuel 4:11) “How much more, when wrong men have slain a
righteous man in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood
at your hand and remove you from the earth?” (2 Samuel
4:12) And Dawiḏ commanded his
young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and feet, and hanged
them by the pool in Ḥeḇron. And they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried
it in the tomb of Aḇnĕr in Ḥeḇron.
David becomes Shepherd (King) of Israel
(2 Samuel 5:1)
And all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl came to Dawiḏ
at Ḥeḇron and spoke, saying, “Look, we are your bone and your flesh. (2 Samuel 5:2)
“Formerly, when Sha’ul was sovereign over us, you were the one who led
Yisra’ĕl out and brought them in. And יהוה
said to you, ‘Shepherd My
people Yisra’ĕl, and be ruler over Yisra’ĕl.’ ” (2 Samuel 5:3) and all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came to
the sovereign at Ḥeḇron, and Sovereign Dawiḏ made a covenant with them at
Ḥeḇron before יהוה. And they anointed
Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:4) Dawiḏ was thirty years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned forty years. (2 Samuel 5:5) In Ḥeḇron he reigned over Yehuḏah seven
years and six months, and in Yerushalayim he reigned thirty-three years over
all Yisra’ĕl and Yehuḏah. (2 Samuel 5:6) And the sovereign and his men went to
Yerushalayim against the Yeḇusites, the inhabitants of the land. And they spoke
to Dawiḏ, saying, “Except you take away the blind and the lame, you are not
going to come in here,” thinking, “Dawiḏ is not going to come in here.” (2 Samuel 5:7)
But Dawiḏ captured the stronghold of Tsiyon, the City of Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:8)
And Dawiḏ said on that day, “Anyone who smites the Yeḇusites, let him
go by the water-shaft and take the lame and the blind, which are hated
by Dawiḏ’s being.” That is why they say, “The blind and the lame do not come
into the house.” (2 Samuel 5:9) And Dawiḏ dwelt in the stronghold, and
called it the City of Dawiḏ. And Dawiḏ built all around from the Millo and
inward. (2 Samuel 5:10) And Dawiḏ went on and became great, and יהוה Elohim of hosts was with him. (2 Samuel 5:11)
Now Ḥiram sovereign of Tsor sent messengers to Dawiḏ, and cedar trees,
and carpenters and masons. And they built a house for Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:12)
And Dawiḏ knew that יהוה had established him
as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and that He had exalted His reign, because of His
people Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:13) And Dawiḏ took more concubines and wives
from Yerushalayim, after he had come from Ḥeḇron, and more sons and daughters
were born to Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:14) And these were the names of those born to him
in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shoḇaḇ, and Nathan, and Shelomoh, (2 Samuel 5:15) and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and
Nepheḡ, and Yaphiya, (2 Samuel 5:16) and
Elishama, and Elyaḏa, and Eliphelet. (2 Samuel 5:17) And the Philistines heard that they had
anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and all the Philistines went up to
search for Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ heard and went down to the stronghold. (2 Samuel 5:18)
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of
Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:19) And Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה,
saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines? Do you give them into my hand?”
And יהוה said to Dawiḏ, “Go up, for I shall
certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” (2
Samuel 5:20) And Dawiḏ came to
Baʽal Peratsim, and Dawiḏ smote them there. And he said, “יהוה has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of
water.” So he called the name of that place Baʽal Peratsim.
Restoring the Ark of the Covenant (The Presence of Yah) Hearing and Obeying (Faith) The Battle is
Yahuah’s (Yahweh, God)
(2 Samuel 5:21) And they left
their images there, and Dawiḏ and his men took them away. (2 Samuel 5:22)
And the Philistines again came up and were spread out in the Valley of
Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:23) And when Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, He said, “Do not go up, turn around behind them, and you shall
come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. (2
Samuel 5:24) “And it shall be,
when you hear the sound of stepping in the tops of the mulberry trees, and then
act promptly, for then יהוה shall go out before
you to smite the camp of the Philistines.” (2 Samuel
5:25) And Dawiḏ did so, as יהוה commanded him, and
smote the Philistines from Geḇa as far as Gezer. (2 Samuel 6:1)
Now Dawiḏ again gathered all the chosen
men of Yisra’ĕl, thirty thousand. (2 Samuel 6:2) And Dawiḏ rose up and went with all the
people who were with him from Baʽalĕ Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark
of Elohim, that is called by the Name, the Name יהוה of Hosts, who
dwells between the keruḇim. (2 Samuel 6:3) And they placed the ark of Elohim on a new
wagon, and brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill. And
Uzzah and Aḥyo, sons of Aḇinaḏaḇ, were leading the new wagon. (2 Samuel 6:4)
And they brought it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the
hill, with the ark of Elohim. And Aḥyo was walking before the ark. (2 Samuel 6:5)
And Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl were dancing before יהוה, with all instruments of fir wood,
and with lyres, and with harps, and with tambourines, and with sistrums, and
with cymbals. (2 Samuel 6:6) And when they came to the threshing-floor of
Naḵon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for the
oxen stumbled. (2 Samuel 6:7) And the wrath of יהוה
burned against Uzzah, and Elohim smote him there for the fault. And he died
there by the ark of Elohim. (2 Samuel 6:8) And Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had broken out against Uzzah. And he
called the name of the place Perets Uzzah, until this day.
Disobedience (Touching the Ark)
brings separation from His presence- where the presence of Yahuah is- there
is blessing!
(2 Samuel 6:9) And Dawiḏ was
afraid of יהוה on that day, and said, “How shall the ark
of יהוה come to me?” (2
Samuel 6:10) And Dawiḏ would not
move the ark of יהוה with him into the
City of Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ turned it aside to the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the
Gittite. (2 Samuel 6:11) And the ark of יהוה
remained in the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite three months, and יהוה blessed Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and his entire house.
(2 Samuel 6:12)
And it was reported to Sovereign Dawiḏ, saying, “יהוה
has blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and all that he has, because of the ark
of Elohim.” Dawiḏ then went and brought up the ark of Elohim from the house of
Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the City of Dawiḏ with rejoicing. (2
Samuel 6:13) And it came to be,
when those bearing the ark of יהוה had gone six steps,
that he slaughtered bulls and fattened sheep. (2 Samuel
6:14) And Dawiḏ danced before יהוה with all his might. And Dawiḏ was wearing
a linen shoulder garment. (2 Samuel 6:15) Thus Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl
brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting and with the sound of the ram’s horn. (2 Samuel 6:16) And it came to be, when the ark of יהוה came into the City of Dawiḏ, that Miḵal,
daughter of Sha’ul, looked through a window and saw Sovereign Dawiḏ leaping
and dancing before יהוה, and she despised him
in her heart. (2 Samuel 6:17) So they brought the ark of יהוה in, and set it in its place in the midst of the Tent that
Dawiḏ had pitched for it. And Dawiḏ brought burnt offerings before יהוה, and peace offerings. (2 Samuel 6:18)
And when Dawiḏ had finished bringing burnt offerings and peace
offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of יהוה
of hosts. (2 Samuel 6:19) And he apportioned to all the people, to all
the crowd of Yisra’ĕl, from man even to women, to each one a loaf of bread, and
a measure, and a cake of raisins. And all the people left, each one to his
house. (2 Samuel 6:20) And Dawiḏ returned to bless his household,
and Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul came out to meet Dawiḏ, and said, “How
esteemed was the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl today, uncovering himself today in the
eyes of the female servants of his servants, as one of the foolish ones
shamelessly uncovers himself!” (2 Samuel 6:21) So Dawiḏ said to Miḵal, “Before יהוה, who chose me instead of your father and his
entire house, to appoint me ruler over the people of יהוה,
over Yisra’ĕl, so I danced before יהוה.
(2 Samuel 6:22)
“And I shall be even slighter than this, and shall be humble in my own
eyes. But as for the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I am
esteemed.” (2 Samuel 6:23) And Miḵal the daughter of Sha’ul had no children to the
day of her death.
My prayer for you loved one is simple yet will result in profound intimacy when you act
upon it with all diligence. I pray that you seek
intimacy (through repentance individually and for your country) with YAHUAH (Elohim- God) through the Set Apart Spirit- the Ruach HaKodesh, that you may know
Him, hear and obey Him and gain His shalom by being in His presence. Hint:
Worship is a surefire way of getting into His presence because He inhabits the
praises of His people- while demons and distractions FLEE! Nothing will satisfy
you more than intimately knowing Him not just knowing about Him. (Isaiah 58:1)
“Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare
to my people their transgression and the house of Yaʽaqoḇ
their sins. (Isaiah 58:2) “Yet they seek me
day by day, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness,
and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Elohim. They ask of me rulings of
righteousness; they delight in drawing near to Elohim. Here’s our answer
for your diligence in seeking His presence loved one; (Jeremiah
29:11)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12)
‘Then you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I shall
listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And you shall seek me, and shall find me, when
you search for me with all your heart 1.
Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה,
‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the
gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’
Here are the wonderful
and tangible results of seeking the Ruach diligently- as we are commanded by
Yahushua (Jesus, Yeshua): (John 20:21) Then יהושע said
to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” (John 20:22) And having said this, He breathed on them, and said to them,
“Receive the Set-apart Spirit.
We need His power to be witnesses—and definitely to build
up our faith and keep ourselves in the LOVE OF YAHWEH!
(Amos 5:6)
“Seek יהוה
and live, lest He break out
like fire upon the house of Yosĕph, and shall consume it, with no one to quench
it in Bĕyth Ěl. (John 14:26) “But the Helper,
the Set-apart Spirit, whom the
Father shall send in My Name, He shall
teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you. (Act 1:8) “But you shall receive power when the
Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you
shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.” (Act
10:44) While Kĕpha was still speaking these words, the Set-apart
Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. (Act 10:45) And those of the
circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Kĕpha, because
the gift of the Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also,
(Act 10:46) for they were hearing
them speaking with tongues and extolling Elohim. (Act 13:52) And the taught ones were
filled with joy and the Set-apart Spirit. (Jude 1:20) But you, beloved
ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief
(faith), praying in the
Set-apart Spirit, (Jude 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of
Elohim, looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע
Messiah unto everlasting life.
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: 1 John 4:22.
