Shabbat
Shalom Loved One!
We make ourselves
ready as a BRIDE and virgin (pure heart) with oil in her lamp. YHWH is restoring all things; that
includes us who were once DRY BONES! All
who KNOW (Not know about) HIM and call on Him 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 at end of this week’s
study!
World economies- Can we expect a GLOBAL MELTDOWN or a GLOBAL
RESET?
Loved One, what we think or IMAGINE in our minds is of VAST IMPORTANCE! Again,
please consider the following link where Hebrew is looked at in key scriptures
necessary for our victory as wickedness increases- there are 35 of these short
20 min clips of teaching by Dr. Bruce Allen- no he doesn’t use corrected names-
but let’s not throw out the baby- or the treasure with the bath water.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFQoQ0yws9E Part 1/35 (20
min) Dr. Bruce Allen-
Remember with me this awesome
promise to us: Proverbs
23:7 for as he thinks
(Portal- door- imagination) in his heart so is he.
"Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
I
remind us all, if we make provision for the flesh- we will fail, as
hasatan is more than willing to exploit our iniquities! Flee all
appearance of evil loved one! We WALK BY THE SPIRIT_ NOT THE FLESH!
How can we
realize that our thought life will determine our victories and failures?
Yahshua gave us insight as to why our thoughts must be taken captive and made
to fall in line with His word of truth. He considered our imaging or
imagination to be REALITY! I say again, He considers our
imagination to be TRUTH representing who we are and our actions are considered
done by thinking or imagining them. So let’s use this truth to our
advantage by asking Him to sanctify our thoughts, our mind, and our words. We
must truly come apart from all wickedness of this culture and generation. What
you allow in your mind is reality. We better take heed to His promise and guard
the books we read, the movies or television we watch (If any), and who and what we listen to.
Even our own thoughts will be judged and come forth…
Matthew
5:27 "You
have heard that it was said to those of old, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.'
Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman
to lust (Obviously in his
mind- imagination) for her has already committed adultery with her in his
heart.
We must ask
our Master to sanctify our minds and imagination- that we guard our eye gates
and our ear gates…the very window of our souls.
His eyes watch all so we are WISE to agree with
His words and decree them
2
Chronicles 16:9 “For the
eyes of יהוה diligently search throughout all the
earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect to Him.
You have acted foolishly in this, so from now on you shall have battles.”
Jeremiah
1:12 and יהוה said to me,
“You have seen well, for I am watching over my word
to do it.”
Taking thoughts and imaginations CAPTIVE to His
words and ways
2
Corinthians 10:3 although
we walk in the flesh- we do not fight according to the flesh. 2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons we fight with are
not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, 2 Corinthians 10:5 overthrowing imaginations and every high matter that exalts itself
against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it
obedient to the Messiah, 2 Corinthians 10:6 and
being ready to punish all disobedience, when your
obedience is complete.1 Footnote: 1
John 3:36.
DECREE A MATTER
(Job 22:22) Receive, please,
instruction (Torah-Word) from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart. (Job 22:23) If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; you
will remove iniquity far from your tents. (Job
22:24) Then
you will lay your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the
stones of the brooks. (Job 22:25) Yes, the Almighty
will be your gold and your precious silver; (Job
22:26) Then you will have your delight in
the Almighty, and lift up your face to Yahweh. (Job
22:27) You
will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, and you will pay your vows.
(Job 22:28)
You
will also decree (declare/speak) a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.
I want to remind your
heart again, Loved One; Fear Not, Only Believe as Yahshua instructed
the synagogue ruler who was told his daughter was dead! We now focus our
thoughts on the word made flesh- who is alive- sharper than a two-edged sword-
and able to read us as we read Him- as He discerns the thoughts and intents-
purposes of our hearts! (Hebrews 4:12)
Loved One; I believe Father is insisting that
I again warn us to make ourselves ready. Have we stored water and food for
emergency? Don’t know we will need it but; we will review again about what He
told me while I was camped out on the Galilee in 2000. Since obedience is
better than sacrifice and I will obey so carefully review and consider with me loved
one. Fear Not, Only Believe as Yahshua instructed
the synagogue ruler who was told his daughter was dead! H
(1 John 3:18)
My little children let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and
in truth.
(1 John 3:19)
And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall set our hearts
at rest before Him, (1 John 3:20) that if our
heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all. (1 John 3:21)
Beloved ones, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward
Elohim. (1 John 3:22) And whatever we ask
we receive from Him, because we guard His commands and do what is pleasing in
His sight.1 Footnote: 1 Proverbs
28:9, John 9:31, James 5:16. (1 John 3:23) And this is His command, that we should
believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and love one another, as He gave us command. (1 John 3:24)
And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which
He gave us.1 Footnote: 1 John
14:23-24, Acts 5:32, Romans 8:7-11, 1 John 2:5, 1 John 4:13.
With
His insistence, we must review some of the reasons I give many hard things
against us so that we will not be deceived and asleep; thinking all is okay,
and that an intimate relationship with YHWH is not necessary. We will be given (and are now given) the opportunity to
repent before the Great and Awesome (Terrible
in some translations) DAY OF YHWH (translated
Day of the Lord in many translations) - the very day that Yahshua left off
reading THE SCROLL from Isaiah 61 (the
rest of the sentence) as His reason for His coming the first time was to
preach the Acceptable Day of the Lord- not the Day of Wrath and Vengeance which
is when He comes again. (Isaiah 61:1)
The Spirit of the Master יהוה is upon me, because יהוה
has anointed me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to those who are bound, (Isaiah 61:2) to proclaim the
acceptable year of יהוה, and the day of vengeance of our Elohim, to
comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah 61:3) to appoint
unto those who mourn in Tsiyon: to give them embellishment for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And
they shall be called trees of righteousness, a planting of יהוה, to be adorned.
He will have given us vast
opportunities to repent; before His Judgment Day. Yahchanan (John) - means Yah’s mercy, and
John came preaching REPENT for the
Kingdom is at hand! Then Yahshua tells us Elijah will indeed come first BEFORE the
Great and Awesome Day but if we can receive it, he has already come with the
coming of John the Immerser (Baptist). Obviously, we also will need to repent
before His coming. If you have read many of my Torah Studies, you know that I
have been warning that a sword (And famine and pestilence) is coming on our
land and an intimate relationship alone will be left. Our Deliverer is coming
for those that will humble themselves, making themselves ready as a BRIDE! Let’s make sure
we are among them!
(Ezekiel 33:1)
And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 33:2)
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and
you shall say to them, ‘When I bring
the sword upon a land, and the people of the land shall take a man from their
borders and shall make him their watchman, (Ezekiel 33:3)
and he
sees the sword coming upon the land, and shall blow the ram’s horn and shall
warn the people, (Ezekiel 33:4)
then
whoever shall hear the sound of the ram’s horn and shall not take warning, if
the sword comes and takes him away, his blood is on his own head. (Ezekiel 33:5) ‘He heard the sound
of the ram’s horn, but he did not take warning, his blood is on himself. But he
who takes warning shall deliver his being. (Ezekiel
33:6) ‘But if the watchman sees the sword
coming and shall not blow the ram’s horn, and the people shall not be warned,
and the sword comes and takes any being from among them, he is taken away in
his crookedness, and his blood I require at the watchman’s hand.’ (Ezekiel 33:7)
“And you, son of man, I have made you a watchman
for the house of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall hear a word from my mouth and you
shall warn them for me. (Ezekiel 33:8) “When I say to the
wrong, ‘O wrong one, you shall certainly die!’ and you have not spoken to warn
the wrong from his way, that wrong one shall die in his crookedness, and his blood I require at your hand.
(Comment: this is why a watchman will and
must tell you what they see coming regardless of our feelings) (Ezekiel 33:9)
“But when you have warned1the wrong
to turn from his way, and he has not turned from his way, he shall die in his
crookedness, but you have delivered
your being. Footnote: 1 Similar
messages in 3:18-21, 18:20-30.
(Ezekiel 33:23) Then the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 33:24) “Son of man,
they who inhabit those ruins in the land of Yisra’ĕl are saying, ‘Aḇraham was
only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; let the land be given to
us as a possession.’ (Ezekiel 33:25) “Therefore say to
them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “You eat meat with
blood, and you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you
then possess the land? (Ezekiel
33:26) “You depend on your sword, and you commit
abominations, and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you then
possess the land?” ’
This is what I see coming and a warning for
America- especially the United States of America
(Ezekiel 33:27) “Say this to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “As I live, those who
are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field
I shall give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds
and caves shall die of the pestilence. (Ezekiel
33:28) “And I shall make the land a desert and a
waste, the arrogance of her strength shall cease, and the mountains of Yisra’ĕl
shall be a waste, with none passing through. (Ezekiel 33:29)
“And they
shall know that I am יהוה, when I have made the land a desert and a waste, because of all
their abominations which they have done.” ’
… (Ezekiel 33:31) “And they come to you
as people do, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them.
(We are required to She’mah-
LISTEN/HEAR and DO! We are to become DOERS of the Word and NOT hearers only;
otherwise we deceive ourselves!) For with their
mouth they show much love – their hearts pursue their greedy gain. (Ezekiel 33:32)
“And see, you are to them as a very lovely song
of one who has a pleasant voice and playing well on an instrument. And they hear your words, but they do not do
them. (Ezekiel 33:33) “And when it comes –
see, it shall come – then they shall know that a prophet has been in their
midst.”
With a REPENT NOW understanding
in our hearts (Which alone removes condemnation); let us consider carefully our
next action from the testimony below; especially if we live in the USA- taking
every thought captive to obedience to Messiah and FEAR NOT! Our King can
protect us wherever you are- even in a fiery furnace IF you have asked Him where we are to be and obeyed what He
said- which alone would give us permission to not “Come out of her
or partake in her plagues” (Yes, even the country) Otherwise we can expect to
partake of her plagues; remember Mystery Babylon is drunk on the blood of believers,
including yours and mine if we disobey warning. FEAR NOT. Perfect Love casts
out fear, Only
Believe.
Again; reviewing my testimony concerning where we in the USA are
living: In
early 1998, I asked our Heavenly Father, “If all these “end times” preachers are
correct why isn’t America (USA was my
specific thought but not my word in my question) in the scriptures?” He
replied, “You are in the scriptures- go get your Bible
and I will show you.” Surprised, I ran toward my house (I was outside on a bulldozer building a
road on some property I had bought) and got my Bible and sat down in my
comfortable chair anticipating with prideful glee and a smile on my face- the great
USA is in the Bible (I was quite proud)
and I’m going to receive inside information as to where! Opening my Bible I
asked again, “where?” He replied, “Turn to Revelation 17:1
and start reading, son and you will see America as I see her, but you may not
like her name.” I was still
excited with joyful expectation; “we’re in the Bible!” Joyful at least until I
got to verses 5 and 6- so share my anticipation with me as I read: (Revelation 17:1) And one of the seven messengers who
had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great whore
sitting on many waters; 1 (Footnote: 1 See v. 15.) (Revelation 17:2) with whom
the sovereigns of the earth committed whoring, and the inhabitants of the earth
were made drunk with the wine of her whoring.” (Revelation
17:3) And he carried me away in
the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast
covered with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:4)
And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold
and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a
golden cup filled with abominations and the filthiness of her whoring,1
Footnote: 1 Jeremiah 51:7. (Revelation 17:5) and upon her forehead a name
written, a secret: BAḆEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation
17:6) And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart
ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of יהושע. And having
seen her, I marveled – greatly marveled!
As the thought came Mystery Babylon- the Great Whore? I
quickly replied, “No Lord- that’s IRAQ!” “That’s Iraq!” He replied, “It was Iraq, now it’s you.” My understanding was overwhelmed,
and my thoughts kept racing- “I’ve heard from many great teachers and they told
me it’s Iraq!” He replied, “You are the wealthiest
country in the world and you do much wickedness.” I thought we did “good”
around the world and were the most benevolent and giving aid country; and that
is partly correct. I was still pondering these thoughts several years later
while by myself camped out on the Galilee in Israel for 11 days reading the
gospels. Someone had given me a book to witness to unbelievers while in Israel,
saying to me, “The Lord told me to buy this and give it to you as he has
someone you are to give it to.” I replied, “I don’t know anyone here but –
whatever.” On the 10th day of my tent camp out between Bethsaida and
the Jordan River (At the top of the
Galilee) I heard from Him. He said, “fast tomorrow I want you to take the
book “They thought for Themselves” (The
witness book written by Sid Roth a messianic Jew I had been given which spoke
of Jews who had accepted Yahshua-Jesus as
Messiah) to the man (I considered a
rabid rabbi) who heads up the Kabala college in Safed.” I replied, “No Lord
I don’t want to do that.” He replied, “But you will.”
I said again, “But I don’t want to.” He replied with finality, “But you will.” Thinking for a moment before I replied
to His end of discussion answer I
said; “Okay Lord, I will do it, but I want something from you. You told me
several years ago that America is Mystery Babylon the whore; and IF that is
true, (I still had not determined it was
true) I want to know where a safe place is in America to get my family and
“ride this out” (The Great Tribulation).
I was imagining remote Montana or Wyoming or perhaps even the mountains of
Colorado. What I heard next I spoke to no one for over 1 ½ years- I just could
not believe it myself. Here’s His reply and sorry, you don’t have years to
consider its validity as you may have only weeks or months to both decide and
act: “Son there
will be nothing left of America, in one hour her destruction will come and the
sea captains will marvel at the smoke of her burning.” These
thoughts were downloaded me next: It’s
a place or country- not a city like most translations say; they are anxious
because there is no market left; if it were a city- they would just transfer
their market to a different city, but that’s obviously not an option. Nothing
left- only a place for every unclean bird (demonic
spirits). Please pray about and ask for yourself concerning these matters
as we can be protected anywhere we are told to be. You cannot be directed by
someone else revelation or understanding, you must seek confirmation as you and
I are both required to rightly divide the word and a matter is not truth
without 2 or 3 witnesses confirming. May
be time to fast and pray and rid ourselves of all unbelief- that we may hear
clearly and obey what He shows us personally. Please don’t assume
anything, but seek Him while He may be found and obey Him! He alone will be our
Deliverer and refuge! In your consideration of these times and this testimony;
remember we are a 3 part being. We are a spirit being made in YHWH’s image; we
have a soul (Mind, will, intellect, emotion); and physical- we live in a body-
so we are spirit, soul, and body. My belief is that we likely must “Come out of
her” (Babylon the whore) in all three areas: spiritually or the whore church or
religious system because it is about relationship not religion or duty; soul or
culture that is demonic or worldly; and physically – like places or country or even
countries. Consider carefully for yourself and your loved ones.
We are in a “BEFORE
ALL THIS” Time- the times of laying hands on believers…
The
anti-messiah would declare himself God on a Passover or thereabouts leaving the
42 months of GREAT TRIBULATION 42 months later on a Feast of Trumpets 2017-2018?
(Nope, I don’t know when) the day “no man knows the day or hour”- which most of
you know is a Hebrew idiom for Feast of Trumpets- the only Biblically commanded
Feast or Moedim that you can never know the day or hour.) Why before
all this? (Luke
21:8) And He said, “See
that you are not led astray, (deceived/deluded) for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The
time is near.’ Then do not go after them. (Luke
21:9) “But
when you hear of fighting and unrests do not be alarmed, for these have to take
place first, but the end is not immediately.” (Luke
21:10) Then He said to them, “Nation (race-ethnos)
shall rise against nation (race-ethnos),
and reign against reign. (Luke 21:11) “And there shall be
great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food (famine) and
deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven.
(Luke 21:12)
“But before all this, they shall lay their hands on
you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and
prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake.
(Luke 21:13)
“And it shall turn out to you for a witness.
(Luke 21:14) “Therefore, resolve
in your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. (Luke 21:15) “I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your
adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist. (Luke 21:16) “And you shall also be betrayed by parents
and brothers and relatives and friends. And
some of you shall be put to death. (Luke
21:17) “And you shall be hated by all because of My
Name.
I believe we need to think these
matters through for ourselves right now and resolve our response of trust in
Him beforehand; sorting
through His precious promises and draw ever near to our coming King. We must FEAR
NOT even unto death! Let’s be used as worthy vessels of honor by
our choice to trust Him even unto death. Hey, this is only a miniscule portion
of our existence as we will be back on the earth to finish our Shabbat or 7th
day (Millennium) of this earth; (Remember a day with YHWH is as 1000 years
and 1000 years is as a day; Day 1 Adam, Day 2 Noah, Day 3 Abraham, Day 4 Yahshua,
Day 5- 1-1000 A.D. or Common Era, Day 6- 1001-2000 A.D. thereabout and Day 7-
Very Soon) prior to us receiving a new earth and a new heaven, where we
will live with YHWH forever assuming we don’t become part of the deceived and
deluded fallen away or “rebellious
stand” as my friend
Michael Rood says is the more correct translation. (Not much difference in the outcome in my humble opinion- but it does
more clearly indicate the reason for our destruction if we take that stand
against the Torah (Instructions) and the Prophets since Heaven and Earth will
pass before they pass)
Once again I want to encourage you Loved One- no matter
what evil the enemy has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient-
giving thanks in all things, our Master and King will use us mightily to
produce fruit that remains- even beyond us! We must focus our attention on Him
and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. He has destroyed the works of hell
and therefore we can overcome the plans of hell, the giants and overwhelming
obstacles and still walk in victory. blue Very soon there may be a “False flag” of sorts where we may see
massive earthquakes; EMP blasts knocking out our electronic ignitions, cell
phones, televisions and computers; fallen demonic alien looking beings and
spacecraft claiming they know Yahshua etc.;
possibly a hologram by project blue beam showing Yahshua speaking to us
confirming the anti-messiah. They may create race wars with mind control and
fill up FEMA camps etc. - but Yahshua promises He will give us words
to speak, and not one hair on our heads will be lost:
(Luke 21:17)
“And
you shall be hated by all because of My Name. (Luke 21:18) “But not a hair
of your head shall be lost at all. (Luke
21:19) “Possess your lives by your endurance!
(Luke 21:20)
“And when you see Yerushalayim surrounded by
armies, and then know that it’s lying waste is near. (Luke 21:21) “Then let those in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of her
go out, and let not those who are in the fields enter her. (This
is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and
the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war): (Zechariah 14:2) and I shall gather all the
gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim 1.
And the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half
of the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut
off from the city. Footnote: 1 Joel 3:2,
Zephaniah 3:8, and Revelation 16:14. (Zechariah
14:3) And יהוה shall go
forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of
battle.
My expectation is: DECEPTION won’t overcome us who study
and consider ourselves sober and alert- AWARE of the SEASONS (Moedim- rehearsals- FEASTS of YHWH!) Let’s
begin by reading again the promise of delusion spoken and guaranteed by Yahshua
the WORD made flesh that dwelled among us.
2Th 2:3 let no one deceive you in any way, because
the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness 1
is to be revealed, the son of destruction, Footnote: 1 Some
texts read sin instead of lawlessness. This man might be the same one we read
of in the prophecy in Isaiah. 14:12 – Hĕlĕl (“Heileil”), meaning “the shining one,” the sovereign of Baḇel. (Comment: consider the “King” of Babel would
be equivalent to the leader of the U.S.) 2 Thessalonians 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself
above all that is called Elohim or that is worshipped, so that he sits as
Elohim in the Dwelling Place of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim.
Why are
these times so perilous? Because there is a return of the wickedness as in the
Days of Noah; which Yahshua promised would return prior to His arrival as Judge
and King- this wickedness is all around us- government, culture, lack of
morals, etc. This means that the great delusion promised is at the door: 2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all
deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the
love of the truth, in order for them to be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and for
this reason Elohim sends
them a working of
delusion,
for them to believe the falsehood,
1 Footnote: 1 Ezekiel 20:25,
John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Romans 1:24-28. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that
all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the
unrighteousness.
PLEASE THINK ON
THIS NOTE AGAIN: the MANY
and the FEW. If we take a hundred men and /or women representing 100% - how
many is “many”- would you agree over 50%? That would allow 50% for the few-
that’s not really likely. Could it possibly be 70% for the many, which allows
30% for the few? That’s possible. How about 90% for the many and 10% for the
few? We have decisions to consider that
we are making or have made that may not be wisdom for these days are more
perilous than most of us are aware.
(Matthew
7:12) “Therefore, whatever
you wish men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Torah and the
Prophets. (Matthew 7:13) “Enter in through the
narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to
destruction, and there are many who enter in
through it. (Matthew 7:14) “Because the gate is
narrow and the way is hard pressed 1 which leads to life, and there
are few who find it. Footnote: 1 Or the way is afflicted.
Remember Israel was “budded” November
1948 (Most agree a
biblical generation is 70 years, so 2018 could be LAST TRUMP)
(Mark 13:28) “And learn this parable
from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth
leaves, you know that the summer is near. (Mark
13:29) “So
you also, when you see this taking place, know that it is near, at the door. (Mark 13:30) “Truly, I say to
you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all this takes
place. (Mark 13:31) “The heaven and the
earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Comment: Which generation shall not pass?
The one who sees these things) (Mark 13:32) “But concerning that
day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. (Mark 13:33) “Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not
know when the time is –
Some of us have believed that going forward
once in a prayer line and “accepting Jesus” is our ticket into eternity. Not likely- we are expected to grow up and
walk by belief and faith or else why would Yahshua (Jesus) say we are required to OVERCOME:
(Revelation 3:5) “He who overcomes shall be dressed in
white robes, and I shall by no means blot out his name from the Book of Life,
but I shall confess his name before My Father and before His messengers (Angels). Further we are
required to overcome by the blood of the Lamb AND the word of our testimonies. (What we speak and DO!) Further we are
required to ENDURE TO THE END!
(Mark 13:12) “And brother shall
deliver up brother to death and a father his child. And children shall rise up
against parents and shall put them to death. (Mark
13:13) “And
you shall be hated by all because of My Name. But he who
shall have endured to the end, he shall be saved.1 Footnote: 1
Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13. (Mark
13:14) “And
when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’1
spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up where it
should not be” – he who reads, let him understand – “then let those who are in
Yehuḏah flee to the

ONCE AGAIN- why we must forsake traditions
that are not lined up with His Torah (Instructions- Word): Our doctrines (DOINGS) MUST line up with the word
forever established in Heaven if we expect our Creator to confirm His word with
signs and wonders following as also He told Jeremiah- “I am watching over my
word to perform it!”—
(Jeremiah 1:11) And the word of יהוה came to me,
saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond
tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה
said to me, “You
have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.” (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to me with
their mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9)
‘But
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as teachings (Doctrines) the commands of
men.’ ” 1

Guard
against FEAR! The fearful are thrown into hell’s flames with the drunks, whores
and sorcerers! He wants us to trust Him who has power to both kill the body and
throw us into hell fires! Hasatan is only a created being allowed only to test
the bride to see who she is- really- yes even in the fiery furnace- we can
trust our mighty Elohim who sent Yahshua to pay the price of bitter waters and
death of the whoring, adulterous bride that He may come again for a bride who
makes herself READY! Hallelu-YAH!
He still desires intimacy and that comes from
WILLING obedience as that is the only sacrifice that is acceptable to Him! A heart to HEAR and OBEY will always receive more instructions whereas
a heart in rebellion- a “rebellious stand” will be cut off until REPENTANCE or
death comes!
Results
guaranteed for obedience and guarding His commands- not man made ones!
Note guaranteed Generational Curses or Blessings based on our response to His
WORDS (Instructions-Torah)! Some think they are “hiding” their sin- hehe- there
is no hidden sin from our Creator; as He will always deliver the JUST results-
yes even to our children’s grandchildren if need be! Flee sin- FEAR NOT!
For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the
fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate
me, (Exodus 20:6) but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love me and
guard my commands. (Exodus 20:7) “You do not
bring1 the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the
one unpunished who brings His Name to naught. Footnote: 1Or
lift up, or take. (Exodus 20:8) “Remember the
Sabbath day, to set it apart. (Exodus 20:9) “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, (Exodus 20:10) but the seventh day
is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor
your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle,
nor your stranger who is within your gates. Footnote:
1There are other Sabbaths, but this is the weekly Sabbath. (Exodus 20:11) “For in six days יהוה
made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested
the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath
day and set it apart.
Loving our
neighbors as ourselves! How our Creator values and determines this…
(Exodus 20:12) “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are
prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving
you. (Comment: this is the first
command with a promised result- that we live long on the Earth and prosper and
that is certainly not limited to financial prosperity at all): (Ephesians 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the
Master, for this is right. (Ephesians 6:2) “Respect your father and mother,” which is
the first command with promise, (Ephesians 6:3)
in order that it might be well with you, and you might live long on the earth.”
KJV-
If you and I obey these commands (Torah/Instructions); we qualify as
loving our neighbor as ourselves. You and I would never murder ourselves (unless we had demons). If we loved our
neighbor we would never want his wife, or steal from him/her; we would not
report something that we were not an eyewitness to; we would not steal his
servants, or any of his possessions. (Exodus 20:13) “You do not
murder. (Exodus 20:14) “You do not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:15)
“You do not steal. (Exodus 20:16) “You do not bear false witness against your
neighbor. (Exodus 20:17) “You do not covet your neighbor’s house; you
do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female
servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:18)
And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of
the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And
the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, (Exodus 20:19) and said to Mosheh, “You speak with
us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:20)
And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not
fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before
you, so that you do not sin.” (Exodus
20:21) So the people stood at a
distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was. (Exodus 20:22)
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children
of Yisra’ĕl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I
have spoken to you from the heavens. (Exodus
20:23) ‘You do not make besides
me mighty ones of silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for
yourselves. (Exodus 20:24) ‘Make an altar of earth for me, and you shall
slaughter on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and
your cattle. In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and
bless you.
Yahshua
reminds us: (John
14:20) “In that day you
shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who possesses
my commands and guards them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall
be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.” Then we read 1 John: (1 John 2:15) Do not love the world or that which is
in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.1 Footnote: 1 James 4:4. (1 John 2:16)
Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. (1 John 2:17)
And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the
desire of Elohim remains forever.
Loved One- we are manifesting
as the sons and daughters of the Creator as we learn to yield and obey. It is called She’mah (HEAR AND OBEY) O’ Israel! (1 John 3:1)
See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children
of Elohim! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know
Him. (1 John 3:2) Beloved ones, now we are children of Elohim.
And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is
revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1 John 3:3)
And everyone having this expectation in Him cleanses himself, as He is
clean. (1 John 3:4) Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is
lawlessness. (1 John 3:9) Everyone having been born of Elohim does not
sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has
been born of Elohim.
Becoming
His family daily as we die to self! Hallelu-YAH! Remember; “SIN” is defined as
doing away with the law or Torahlessness in 1st John 3 and a look at
our heart attitude of loving our neighbor as ourselves- remember the vast power of our “WORDS” and
their ability to direct our steps! (Proverbs 18:21)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those
loving it eat its fruit.

Father
really wants us to obey Him that He may extend His promises to us! Look at the
pattern we learn from Moses-
(Deuteronomy 3:23)
“And I pleaded with יהוה at that time, saying, (Deuteronomy
3:24) ‘O Master יהוה, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your
strong hand, for who is a mighty one in the heavens or on earth who does
according to your works and according to your might? (Deuteronomy
3:25) ‘I pray, let me pass over
and see the good land beyond the Yardĕn, this good hill country, and Leḇanon.’
(Deuteronomy 3:26) “But יהוה
was enraged with me, for your sake, and would not listen to me, and יהוה said to me, ‘Enough of that! Speak no more
to me about this matter. (Deuteronomy 3:27) ‘Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your
eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and look with your
eyes, for you do not pass over this Yardĕn. (Deuteronomy
3:28) ‘But charge Yehoshua, and
strengthen him and make him brave, for he shall pass over before this people
and causes them to inherit the land which you see.’ (Deuteronomy
3:29) “And we dwelt in the valley
opposite Bĕyth Peʽor.
We are commanded
to: NOT ADD TO or DIMINISH His Instructions!
(Deuteronomy 4:1)
“And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and the right-rulings which I
am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go in and possess the land
which יהוה Elohim of your
fathers is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not
take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which
I am commanding you. Footnote: 1 See
also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:18-19. (Deuteronomy
4:3) “Your eyes have seen what יהוה did at Baʽal Peʽor, for יהוה your Elohim has destroyed from your midst all the men who
followed Baʽal Peʽor. (Deuteronomy 4:4) “But you who are clinging to יהוה your Elohim are alive today, every one of you. (Deuteronomy 4:5)
“See, I have taught you laws and right-rulings, as יהוה my Elohim commanded me, to do thus in the land which you go to
possess. (Deuteronomy 4:6) “And you shall guard and do them, for this is
your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all
these laws, and they shall say; ‘Only- a wise and understanding people is this
great nation!’ (Deuteronomy 4:7) “For what great nation is there which has
Elohim so near to it, as יהוה our Elohim is to us,
whenever we call on Him? (Deuteronomy 4:8) “And what great nation is there that has such
laws and righteous right-rulings like all this Torah which I set before you
this day? (Deuteronomy 4:9) “Only, guard yourself, and guard your life
diligently, lest you forget the Words your eyes have seen, and lest they turn
aside from your heart all the days of your life. And you shall make them known
to your children and your grandchildren. (Deuteronomy
4:10) “The day when you stood
before יהוה your Elohim in Ḥorĕḇ, יהוה said to me, ‘Assemble the people to me and I make them hear My
Words, so that they learn to fear me all the days they live on the earth and
teach them to their children.’ (Deuteronomy
4:11) “And you came near and stood
at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of
the heavens – darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. (Deuteronomy
4:12) “And יהוה
spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard a voice of words, but saw
no form, you only heard a voice. (Deuteronomy 4:13) “And He made known to you His covenant which
He commanded you to do, the Ten Words, and He wrote them on two tablets of
stone. (Deuteronomy 4:14) “And יהוה
commanded me at that time to teach you laws and right-rulings, for you to do
them in the land which you pass over to possess. (Deuteronomy
4:15) “Therefore, diligently
guard yourselves, for you saw no form when יהוה
spoke to you at Ḥorĕḇ out of the midst of the fire, (Deuteronomy
4:16) lest you should do
corruptly and shall make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any
figure – the likeness of male or female, (Deuteronomy
4:17) the likeness of any beast
that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the
heavens, (Deuteronomy 4:18) the likeness of any creature that creeps on
the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth; (Deuteronomy 4:19)
and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and shall see the sun,
and the moon, and the stars – all the host of the heavens – and you be drawn
away into bowing down to them and serving them, which יהוה
your Elohim has allotted to all the peoples under all the heavens. (Deuteronomy 4:20)
“But יהוה has taken you and
brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Mitsrayim, to be His people, an
inheritance, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 4:21) “And יהוה
was enraged with me because of your words, and swore that I would not pass over
the Yardĕn, and that I would not enter the good land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance. (Deuteronomy 4:22)
“I am to die in this land, I am not passing over the Yardĕn, but you are
passing over, and shall possess that good land. (Deuteronomy
4:23) “Guard yourselves, lest you
forget the covenant of יהוה your Elohim which He
made with you, and shall make for yourselves a carved image in the form of
whatever יהוה your Elohim has forbidden you. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
“For יהוה your Elohim is
a consuming fire, a jealous Ěl. (Deuteronomy
4:25) “When you bring forth children and grandchildren, and shall grow
old in the land, and shall do corruptly and make a carved image in the form of
whatever, and shall do what is evil in the eyes of יהוה
your Elohim to provoke Him, (Deuteronomy 4:26) “I shall call the heavens and earth to
witness against you on that day, that you soon completely perish from the land
which you pass over the Yardĕn to possess – you do not prolong your days in it
but are completely destroyed. (Deuteronomy 4:27) “And יהוה
shall scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among
the gentiles where יהוה drives you. (Deuteronomy 4:28)
“And there you shall serve mighty ones, the work of men’s hands, wood
and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
“But from there you shall seek יהוה
your Elohim, and shall find, when you search for Him with all your heart 1 and with all your being. Footnote: 1 Jeremiah 29:13. (Deuteronomy 4:30)
“In your distress, when all these words shall come upon you in the
latter days, then you shall return to יהוה
your Elohim and shall obey His voice. (Deuteronomy
4:31) “For יהוה
your Elohim is a compassionate Ěl, He does not forsake you, nor destroy you,
nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. (Deuteronomy 4:32)
“For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the
day that Elohim created man on the earth, and ask from one end of the heavens
to the other end of the heavens, whether there has been a Word as great as
this, or has been heard like it. (Deuteronomy 4:33) “Have any people ever heard the voice of
Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? (Deuteronomy 4:34)
“Or has Elohim tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst
of a nation by trials, and by signs, and by wonders, and by battle, and by a
strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great fearsome deeds, according to
all that יהוה your Elohim did for you in Mitsrayim
before your eyes? (Deuteronomy 4:35) “You have been shown it, to know that יהוה Himself is Elohim; there is no one beside
Him. (Deuteronomy 4:36) “>From the heavens He let you hear His voice,
to instruct you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His
words out of the midst of the fire. (Deuteronomy 4:37) “And because He loved your fathers, therefore
He chose their seed after them, and brought you out of Mitsrayim with His
Presence, with His great power, (Deuteronomy 4:38) to drive out from before you nations greater
and stronger than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an
inheritance, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 4:39) “And you shall know today, and shall recall
to your heart that יהוה Himself is Elohim in
the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is none else. (Deuteronomy 4:40)
“And you shall guard His laws and His commands which I command you
today, so that it is well with you and with your children after you, and so
that you prolong your days on the soil which יהוה
your Elohim is giving you for all time.” (Deuteronomy
4:41) Then Mosheh separated three
cities beyond the Yardĕn, toward the rising of the sun, (Deuteronomy 4:42) for him who killed someone to flee there, he
who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past,
and might flee to one of these cities and live: (Deuteronomy
4:43) Betser in the wilderness in the level land for the Re’uḇĕnites,
and Ramoth in Gilʽaḏ for the Gaḏites, and Golan in Bashan for the
Menashshites. (Deuteronomy 4:44) And this is the Torah which Mosheh set before
the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 4:45) These are the witnesses, and the laws, and
the right-rulings which Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl after they
came out of Mitsrayim, (Deuteronomy 4:46) beyond
the Yardĕn, in the valley opposite Bĕyth Peʽor, in the land of Siḥon sovereign
of the Amorites, who dwelt at Ḥeshbon, whom Mosheh and the children of
Yisra’ĕl had smitten after they came out of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy
4:47) And they took possession of
his land and the land of Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, two sovereigns of the Amorites,
who were beyond the Yardĕn, toward the rising of the sun, (Deuteronomy 4:48) from Aroʽĕr, which is on the bank
of the wadi Arnon, even to Mount Siyon, which is Ḥermon, (Deuteronomy 4:49) and all the desert plain beyond
the Yardĕn as far as the Sea of the Araḇah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
HEAR! Master; give
us ears to hear you and the courage to obey! TEN WORDS!
(Deuteronomy 5:1)
And Mosheh called all Yisra’ĕl, and said to them, “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl, the laws and right-rulings which I
speak in your hearing today. And you shall learn them, and guard to do them.
(Deuteronomy 5:2) “יהוה our Elohim made a covenant with us in
Ḥorĕḇ. (Deuteronomy 5:3) “יהוה
did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here
today, all of us who are alive. (Deuteronomy 5:4) “יהוה

fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate
me, (Deuteronomy 5:10) but showing kindness to
thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands. (Deuteronomy

any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, so that your
male servant and your female servant rest as you do. Footnote:

your Elohim brought you out from there by a strong hand and by an outstretched
arm. Therefore יהוה your Elohim commanded
you to observe the Sabbath day. (Deuteronomy 5:16) ‘Respect your father and your mother, as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you, so that

“These Words יהוה spoke to all your
assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the
thick darkness, with a loud voice, and He added no more. And He wrote them on
two tablets of stone and gave them to me. (Deuteronomy
5:23) “And it came to be, when
you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was
burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and
your elders, (Deuteronomy 5:24) and said, ‘See,
יהוה our Elohim has shown us His esteem and His
greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. Today we
have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he lives! (Deuteronomy
5:25) ‘And now why should we die?

son, and you do not take his daughter for your son, (Deuteronomy
7:4) for he turns your sons away from following me, to serve other
mighty ones. Then the displeasure of יהוה
shall burn against you and promptly destroy you. (Deuteronomy
7:5) “But this is what you do to
them: Break down their altars, and smash their pillars, and cut down their
Ashĕrim, and burn their carved images with fire. (Deuteronomy
7:6) “For you are a set-apart
people to יהוה your Elohim. יהוה
your Elohim has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession
above all the peoples on the face of the earth. (Deuteronomy
7:7) “יהוה
did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more numerous than
any other people, for you were the least of all peoples, (Deuteronomy 7:8) but because of יהוה loving you, and because of Him guarding the oath which He swore
to your fathers, יהוה has brought you out
with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand
of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy 7:9) “And you shall know that יהוה your Elohim, He is Elohim, the trustworthy Ěl guarding covenant
and kindness for a thousand generations with those who love Him, and those who
guard His commands, (Deuteronomy 7:10) but repaying those who hate Him to their
face, to destroy them. He does not delay to do so with him who hates
Him, He repays him to his face. (Deuteronomy 7:11) “And you shall guard the command, and the
laws, and the right-rulings which I command you today, to do them.
Pray for the peace
of Jerusalem and His people scattered everywhere! Prepare the way for His
return!
(Isaiah 40:1)
“Comfort, comfort my people!” says
your Elohim. (Isaiah 40:2) “Speak to the heart of Yerushalayim, and cry
out to her, that her hard service is completed, that her crookedness is
pardoned, and that she has received from the hand of יהוה double for all
her sins.” (Isaiah 40:3) The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
“Prepare the way of יהוה; make straight in the
desert a highway for our Elohim. (Isaiah 40:4) “Let every valley be raised, and every
mountain and hill made low. And the steep ground shall become level, and the
rough places smooth. (Isaiah 40:5) “And the esteem of יהוה
shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see it. For the mouth of יהוה has spoken.” (Isaiah
40:6) The voice said, “Cry out!”
and he said, “What do I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is
like the flower of the field. (Isaiah 40:7) “Grass shall wither; the flower shall fade,
when the Spirit of יהוה has blown on it!
Truly the people are as grass! (Isaiah 40:8) “Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade,
but the Word
of our Elohim stands forever 1.”
Footnote: 11 Peter 1:24-25. (Isaiah 40:9)
You, who bring good news to Tsiyon, get up into the high mountain. You,
who bring good news to Yerushalayim, lift up your voice with strength, lift it
up, be not afraid. Say to the cities of Yehuḏah, “See your Elohim!” (Isaiah 40:10)
See, the Master יהוה comes with a strong
hand, and His arm rules for Him. See, His reward is with Him, and His
recompense before Him. (Isaiah 40:11) He feeds His flock like a shepherd; He
gathers the lambs with His arm, and carries them in His bosom, gently leading
those who are with young. (Isaiah 40:12) Who has measured the waters in the hollow of
his hand, and measured the heavens with a span, and contained the dust of the
earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a
balance? (Isaiah 40:13) Who has meted out the Spirit of יהוה, or as His counselor taught Him? (Isaiah 40:14)
With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in
the path of right-ruling? Who taught Him knowledge, and showed Him the way of
understanding? (Isaiah 40:15) See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and
are reckoned as dust on the balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust. (Isaiah 40:16)
And Leḇanon is not enough to burn, nor its beasts enough for a burnt
offering. (Isaiah 40:17) All nations before Him are as a non-entity,
and they are reckoned by Him as less than a speck, and emptiness. (Isaiah 40:18)
And to whom would you liken Ěl? And what likeness would you compare to
Him? (Isaiah 40:19) The workman molds a graven image, and the
goldsmith overspreads it with gold, and the silversmith casts silver chains. (Isaiah 40:20)
He who is too poor for such an offering chooses a tree that does not
rot. He seeks for himself a skilled craftsman to prepare a carved image that
does not totter. (Isaiah 40:21) Did you not know? Have you not heard? Has it
not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the
foundations of the earth? (Isaiah 40:22) It is He who sits above the circle of the
earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens
like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in, (Isaiah 40:23)
who brings princes to naught, shall make the rulers of the earth as
emptiness. (Isaiah 40:24) Hardly have they been planted, hardly have
they been sown, hardly has their stock taken root in the earth, when He shall
blow on them and they wither, and a whirlwind take them away like stubble. (Isaiah 40:25)
“And to whom then do you liken me, or to whom am I compared?”
says the Set-apart One. (Isaiah 40:26) Lift up your eyes on high and see. Who has
created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls them all
by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power – not one
is missing. (Isaiah 40:27) Why do you say, O Yaʽaqoḇ, and speak, O
Yisra’ĕl, “My way is hidden from יהוה,
and my rights are overlooked by my Elohim”? (Isaiah
40:28) Did you not know? Have you
not heard? The everlasting Elohim, יהוה, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is
weary. His understanding is unsearchable. (Isaiah
40:29) He
gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
(Isaiah 40:30)
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and
young men stumble and fall, (Isaiah 40:31)
but those who wait on יהוה
renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not
weary, they walk and do not faint.
We love YHWH with all our heart by loving obedience and
we love our neighbor as ourselves by receiving our Messiah’s love and giving it
to others!
(Mark 12:28)
And one of the scribes coming near, hearing them reasoning together,
knowing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first command
of all?” (Mark 12:29) And יהושע answered him, “The first of all the
commands is, ‘Hear,
O Yisra’ĕl, יהוה
our Elohim, יהוה
is one. (Yahshua quotes the
She’mah Deuteronomy 6:4) (Mark 12:30) ‘And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with
all your being, and with your entire mind, and with all your strength.’ This is
the first command. (Mark 12:31) “And the second,
like it, is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other
command greater than these.” (Mark 12:32) And the scribe said to Him, “Well said,
Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no
other besides Him. (Mark 12:33) “And to love Him with all the heart, and with
all the understanding, and with all the being, and with all the strength, and
to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the burnt offerings and
offerings.” (Mark 12:34) And when יהושע
saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are
not far from the reign of Elohim.” And after that no one was bold enough
to question Him. (Mark 12:35) And יהושע
responding, said, while teaching in the Set-apart Place, “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son
of Dawiḏ? (Mark 12:36) “Dawiḏ himself said
by the Set-apart Spirit, ‘יהוה said to my Master,
“Sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool of your feet.” ’ (Mark 12:37) “Dawiḏ himself
calls Him ‘Master.’ In what way then is He his Son?” And the large crowd
heard Him gladly. (Mark 12:38) And in His teaching He was saying to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long
robes, and like greetings in the market-places, (Mark 12:39) and the best seats in the congregations, and the best places
at feasts, (Mark 12:40) who are devouring
widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers. These shall receive greater
judgment.” (Mark 12:41) And sitting opposite the treasury He saw how
the people put copper into the treasury. And many rich ones put in much. (Mark 12:42)
And a poor widow came and threw in two small copper coins, which amount
to a cent. (Mark 12:43) And calling near His taught ones He said to
them, “Truly, I say to you that this poor widow has put
in more than all those putting into the treasury, (Mark 12:44) for they all put in out of their excess, but she out of her
poverty put in all that she had, her entire livelihood.”
Loved One,
I pray we walk in the spirit and not according to the lusts and directions of
the flesh. That we may each repent quickly wherever we miss and stumble. This
is how they will recognize us; that we have love for one another and our King!
It is the LOVE of YHWH that draws men to repentance- not our knowledge! Loved One, I pray YOU and I make every effort
to love the Creator according to His ways and desires and not our
learned ones that are filled with pagan ritual both in Churchianity and
Judaism. I pray you gain an ear to hear Him and the courage to obey Him! Thanks
for your continued prayers for Billie and me- they are cherished! Thank you! THANK
YOU! You are much loved! We must count our blessings and REJOICE! Fear not and
worry not! YHWH is on His throne laughing at and holding evil leaders in
derision… so let’s think on what He promises and His good reports!
(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5) Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6)
Do not worry (be anxious) at
all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians
4:7) And the peace of Elohim,
which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through
Messiah יהושע. (Philippians
4:8) For
the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous,
whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is
any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these things.
Shalom to
your home Loved One,
Thurston
Continued explanation of the Torah Cycle
restart at beginning of months… It
is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone.
I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I
am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never
challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah
will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing
YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does
the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold
and learn from them? Of course not,
we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that
which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern
tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as
a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look; (Zechariah
8:22)
‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in
Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’
(Zechariah 8:23) “Thus said יהוה
of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES
and in the future also!) Ten men
(10 scattered northern tribes called
Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
