Why we are on a different schedule of the Torah
Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of
all things- which sometimes means 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, YHWH forbid that goofy thinking, 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… continued at the end of
today’s study.
We are still in the week of eating unleavened bread
when Yahshua reveals to us sin and unclean matters, and especially INIQUITIES
generationally passed down to us we must repent and close all doors against
these propensities to sin. These days of UNLEAVENED BREAD are a time we must
look inward and reflect on following Messiah Yahshua closer than we ever have
before- BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND DO WHAT HE SAYS!
Thursday
afternoon I wasn’t feeling well, but needed to spend some time thinking on this
week’s scripture study. I wrestled for a few hours, meditating on various
scriptures and thinking- only to feel worse. My wife came in and I mentioned I
really did not feel good as my stomach was hurting. Her background is a
Registered Nurse, so she is practical- as she prayed for me she said, “Father,
whatever this is help Thurston get free from it now! Help him to vomit this up!”
She left to go
visit some friends and I pondered and thought on her= for me anyway- unusual prayer.
“Help him VOMIT!” I was thinking more in
line with “By His stripes I am healed!” I wrestled some more but was feeling
worse. I walked into the bathroom thinking perhaps I should consider that vomit
thing a possibility. Suddenly-, without warning I sneezed twice violently.
Quickly following were five extremely violent vomits. Each time all I could do
was think and pray that was the last one---but only was clean and felt better
after all 5! What was that I thought and questioned? I believe it was
spiritual, as my experiences in helping people get free- including myself-
included sneezing- uncontrollable sneezing as the demonic realm cleared.out.
I remembered my
study on INIQUITIES prompted by my reading Ana Mendez Ferrell’s book on INIQUITIES and
generational curses and open doors for the demonic realm I had done a few
months back. Do you remember? Anyway it is attached as this week of UNLEAVENED BREAD is a
great time to cleanse ourselves spiritually and close all open doors of attack
from the enemy of our souls. Here comes my wife nurse to check on me, I am
feeling much better, but what a mess- I thought on what I had eaten, no answers
there; as many guests had eaten the same foods, with no like experience. Billie
left again to visit with friends and by the time she came back, I was close to
sleep and meditating on a certain scripture, with my head under the sheet and
the room dark. She sat close by and lovingly asked me if I was okay, and was I
resting or thinking? She knew I was not
planning on dinner with loved ones as we usually do. Actually sweetheart, I was
meditating on a certain scripture, I share now with you below in the corrected
name NKJV.
Remember from
our previous study on INIQUITIES that they are not sin, as no one is judged for
another’s sin; but INIQUITIES are spiritual doors of attack allowing the
testing’s and propensity to like sins from the generational curses passed down
from the sins of our fathers- our ancestors- doors we must close by dealing
with them. I hope you will take a look at the attached for yourself and your
walk to draw nearer to our coming KING! So as I rethought the lines of the
scriptures below- I knew what had happened was not vomiting from bad food or a
“bug”. Father in His mercy and plan was removing some crud and closing some
doors spiritually for me..
Isaiah
53:1
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? Isaiah 53:2 He shall grow up before Him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when
we see Him, there is no beauty that we
should desire Him.
Isaiah
53:3
He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from
Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Isaiah
53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we
esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Yahweh, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:5 But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our
peace was upon Him, and by His stripes
we are healed.
Isaiah
53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
each turned, every one, to his own way; And Yahweh has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah
53:7 He was oppressed and He was
afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. Isaiah 53:8 He was taken from prison and from
judgment, and who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of my
people He was stricken.
As we deal with
iniquities and shut doors of wickedness and hasatan’s attacks, we become that
final generation of sons and daughters- the REMNANT BRIDE who are purely His
generation of OVERCOMERS! We can be those of us that are alive and remain and even
overcome death. You know some of us will be alive and remain at the Last
Trumpet blast (Feast of Trumpets)
probably not many of us- but some of us will be.
1
Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the
Lord, that we who are alive and remain
until the coming of Messiah Yahshua will by no means precede those who are
asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For Yahshua Himself will descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of Yahweh,
and the dead in Messiah will rise first. 1
Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds to meet Yahshua in the air, and thus we shall always be
with Yahshua. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
So our study today is about how darkness creeps in until
it is gross darkness- consider our ensample SODOM and Lot and his family as in
our world today- sin is more and more acceptable- no wonder Yaakov (James) warned us- and my daughter Lindsay Ann also
warned me- DO THE GOSPEL DAD!
Obviously I thought I already was---but she did not say
preach the gospel, and she did not say teach the gospel- she said DO THE GOSPEL
DAD- three times- a heavenly encounter vision that brought me to tears---and
introspection.
Perhaps many of
us have learned about “another Yahshua-Jesus” who is vastly different from the
one represented in the Scriptures. Is it even possible that Sha’ul’s words were
twisted and now represent some new religion that makes Yahshua lawless and
different from His Father? Let’s look at Kefa’s (Peter) words about how we may have been misled and Sha’ul’s words
may (most likely) be twisted and we were forewarned! Do we also find ourselves
mockers of Yah by saying about the present birth pains in the earth and the
earth changes so visible- “these things have happened always.”
Yep- mockers will come forth and ask – where is the
promise of His coming? People have always said that!
(2
Peter 3:1) This is now, beloved ones, the second letter
I write to you, in which I stir up your sincere mind, to remember (2 Peter 3:2)
the words previously spoken by the set-apart prophets, and of the command
of the Master and Savior, spoken by your emissaries, (2 Peter 3:3)
knowing this first: that mockers shall come in the last days with
mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
(2 Peter 3:4) and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? Since the fathers
fell asleep, all continues as from the beginning of creation.” (2 Peter 3:5)
For they choose to have this hidden from them: that the heavens were of
old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by the Word of Elohim, 1Footnote: 1 Hebrews
11:3. (2 Peter 3:6) through which the
world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. (2 Peter 3:7)
And the present heavens and the earth are treasured up by the same Word,
being kept for fire, to a Day of Judgment and destruction of wicked men. (2 Peter 3:8)
But, beloved ones let not this one matter be hidden from you:
that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and
a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:9) יהוה is not slow in regard to the promise, as
some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not
wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.1
Footnote: 11 Timothy 2:4. (2 Peter 3:10)
But the day of יהוה shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall
pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat,
and the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up. (2 Peter 3:11)
Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people
ought you to be in set-apart behavior and reverence, (2
Peter 3:12) looking for and
hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens shall be
destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat! (2 Peter 3:13)
But according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed
earth in which righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:14) So then, beloved ones, looking forward to
this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, (2 Peter 3:15)
and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our
beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, (2 Peter 3:16)
as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters,
in which some are hard to understand,1
which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the other Scriptures. Footnote: 1
See 1 Corinthians 11:6. (2 Peter 3:17) You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall
from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless, (2 Peter 3:18) but grow in the favor and knowledge of our Master
and Savior יהושע Messiah. To Him be the esteem both now and to a day that
abides. Amĕn.
We will come to REPENTANCE and stand as righteousness by trust and
obedience (Faith) or not stand and endure at all
Possibly we have
learned He is lawless and did away with Torah by nailing it to a cross and that
the Father was mean and angry but Yahshua (Jesus)
was merciful. NO! Let’s look again what
Yahshua said. First, let’s understand that Sha’ul (Paul) was a scholarly Jewish
man who had studied under Gamliel. Before he was considered “grown”
scripturally- he would have the Torah memorized in its entirety before age 13 by most
accounts. Note also that Kĕpha (Peter)
is aware of this and explains to us that only righteousness will be allowed to
stand and persevere:
2
Peter 3:9 יהוה (Yahshua) is not slow in regard to the
promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come
to repentance.1 Footnote: 1 1
Timothy 2:4. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of יהוה (Yahweh) shall come as a thief in the
night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are in
it shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:11 Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this
way, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart behavior and reverence, 2 Peter 3:12
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which
the heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire,
and the elements melt with intense heat! 2 Peter 3:13
But according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:14 So then, beloved ones, looking forward
to this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 2 Peter 3:15 and reckon the patience of our Master as
deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the
wisdom given to him, 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking
in them concerning these matters, in which some are
hard to understand,1
which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own
destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures. Footnote: 1 See 1 Corinthians 11:6. 2 Peter 3:17 You, then, beloved ones, being
forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led
away with the delusion of the lawless, 2 Peter 3:18
but grow in the favor and knowledge of our Master and Savior יהושע Messiah. To Him
be the esteem both now and to a day that abides. Amĕn.
Note this is a
word for the Last Days “church” or BODY of MESSIAH – Laodicea
US- yep most
likely the warning is for US! Neither hot nor cold- but only lukewarm who many will
get vomited from His mouth
Colossians
2:1 For I wish you to know what a great struggle
I have for you and those in Laodikeia, and for as
many as have not seen my face in the flesh, Colossians
2:2 in order that their hearts
might be encouraged, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the
entire confirmation of understanding, to a true knowledge of the secret of
Elohim, and of the Father, and of the Messiah, Colossians
2:3 in
whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah 11:2, Colossians. 2:9 Colossians 2:4 and this I say, so that no one
deceives you with enticing words. Colossians 2:5
for though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to
see your good order and the steadfastness of your belief in Messiah. Colossians 2:6 Therefore, as you accepted Messiah יהושע the Master, walk in Him, Colossians
2:7 having been rooted and built
up in Him, and established in the belief (Faith-trust),
as you were taught, overflowing in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one makes a prey of
you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of
men,
according to the elementary matters of the world,
1 and not according to Messiah. Footnote:
1 See v. 20, and Galatians 4:3 & 9. Colossians 2:9 because in Him dwells all the
completeness of the Mightiness bodily, Colossians 2:10
and you have been made complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and
authority.
Yahweh always desired to circumcise our HEARTS!
Colossians 2:11 In Him you were also circumcised
with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the
sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Messiah, Colossians
2:12 having been buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were
raised with Him through the belief in the working of Elohim, who raised Him from
the dead. Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your
trespasses 1 and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having
forgiven you all trespasses, Footnote: 1 Ephesians
2:1. Colossians 2:14 having blotted out
the certificate of debt against us – by the dogmas – which stood against us.
And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the stake. Colossians 2:15 Having stripped the principalities
and the authorities, He made a public display of them, having prevailed over
them in it. Colossians 2:16 Let no one
therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a
new moon or Sabbaths – Colossians 2:17 which
are a shadow of what is to come – but the Body of the Messiah. Colossians 2:18 Let no one deprive you of the prize,
one who takes delight in false humility and worship of messengers, taking his
stand on what he has not seen, puffed up by his fleshly mind, Colossians 2:19 and not holding fast to the Head,
from whom all the Body – nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments –
grows with the growth of Elohim. Colossians 2:20 If, then, you died
with Messiah from the elementary matters 1 of the world, why,
as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations: NOTE BELOW THESE ARE MENS ADDED
REGULATIONS OR LAWS Footnote: 1 See
v. 8, and Galatians 4:3 & 9. Colossians
2:21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle” – Colossians 2:22 which are all to perish with use – according to the commands and teachings of men? 1
Footnote: 1 Note: commands and teachings of men, not of Elohim. Colossians
2:23 these indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed worship,
humiliation and harsh treatment of the body – of no value at all, only
for satisfaction of the flesh.
We do not call filthy what Yah has cleansed- these word
were spoken to me by Yahshua so I share with you---don’t call yourself a
sinner- yes you HAVE sinned- but now you flee sin as a washed in the blood of
the LAMB righteous one!
Loved One, do we really believe we will be allowed
entry into His Kingdom if we practice LAWLESSNESS- or do away with the Torah
which is defined as SIN? Should we not at least earnestly seek and ask the
Father to change those things about us that are unacceptable to Him BEFORE we
must stand in front of Him and be judged? WHAT is SIN again? Is
it okay to sin and do away with Torah? Heaven FORBIDS!
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. 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 3:5 and you know that He was manifested
to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 1
John 3:6 Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.1
Footnote: 1See 2:4 & 3 John v. 11.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one lead you
astray. The one doing righteousness is
righteous, even as He is righteous.1
Footnote: 1 See 2:29.
1
John 3:8
the one doing sin is of the devil, because
the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was
manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.1
Footnote: 1 See Titus 2:14. 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. 1 John 3:10 In this
the children of Elohim and the children of the devil are manifest: Everyone not doing righteousness is not of Elohim,1 neither the one not loving his brother. Footnote: 1 See 3 John v. 11.
We call Him Master because WE DO WHAT HE SAYS!
(Matthew
7:21) “Not everyone who
says to me, ‘Master, Master, (Lord
Lord)’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens,
but he who is doing the desire (Will) of My Father in the heavens. (Matthew
7:22) “Many
shall say to me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your
Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your
Name?’ (Matthew 7:23) “And then I shall
declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from me, you who work lawlessness! (This is not mans laws they are breaking necessarily but YHWH’s
commands or Torahlessness as in the law is done away with or in Greek- anomia) ’1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15.
Should we not call on our Heavenly Father and not follow
vain teachings of our earthly fathers?
(1
Peter 1:17) And if you call on the Father, who without
partiality judges according to each one’s work, pass the time of your
sojourning in fear, (1 Peter 1:18) knowing that you were redeemed from your futile
way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible,
silver or gold, (1 Peter 1:19) but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb
unblemished and spotless, (1 Peter
1:20) foreknown, indeed, before
the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for your sakes,
(1 Peter 1:21)
who through Him believe in Elohim who raised Him from the dead and gave
Him esteem, so that your belief and expectation are in Elohim.
How do we cleanse ourselves? OBEDIENCE IN HEART AND
ACTION
(1
Peter 1:22) Now that you have cleansed your lives in
obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly
love, love one another fervently with a clean heart, (1
Peter 1:23) having been born again – not of corruptible seed, but
incorruptible – through the living Word of Elohim, which remains forever... (We follow and obey the word not
traditions of men and by His blood OVERCOME hasatan)
(Revelation
7:14) And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he
said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, having washed
their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.
Here are our Torah Scriptures this week: Vayera “And He
appeared”
Genesis 18:1- 22:24; 2 Kings 4:1-37; 2 Peter 2:4-11; 2
Peter, Chap 3
Again, our study today is about how
darkness creeps in until it is gross darkness- consider our ensample SODOM and
Lot and his family as in our world today- sin is more and more acceptable- no
wonder Yaakov (James) warned us- and my daughter Lindsay Ann
warned me- DO THE GOSPEL DAD!
Obviously I thought I already was---but she did not say
preach the gospel, and she did not say teach the gospel- she said DO THE GOSPEL
DAD- three times- a heavenly encounter vision that brought me to tears---and
introspection.
(James
1:23)
Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who
looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24)
for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was
like. (James 1:25) But he that looked
into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, 1 and continues in
it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of
the Torah. Footnote: 1 See 2:12. (James 1:26)
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his
tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless.
(James
1:27) Clean and undefiled religion
( NOTE:I suspect this word religion is
not the best translation- this really means an undefiled pure hearted follower
of Messiah- one who walks in love- first of Yahweh by willing obedience and
secondly loving our neighbor as ourselves- these that do this are sons and
daughters- the remnant BRIDE- they flee iniquities and all manner of
uncleanness- THEY DO THE GOSPEL) before the Elohim and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep yourself unstained (unpolluted) from the world.
Separating
ourselves to Righteousness and becoming believers (Not hopers nor
wonderers may
require us prayer and fasting)
(Genesis
18:1) And יהוה appeared to
him by the terebinth trees of Mamrĕ, while he was sitting in the tent door in
the heat of the day.(Genesis 18:2) So he lifted his eyes and looked, and saw
three men standing opposite him. And when he saw them, he ran from the tent
door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, (Genesis
18:3) and said, “יהוה, if I have now found favor in your eyes, please do not pass
Your servant by. (Genesis 18:4) “Please let a little water be brought, and
wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. (Genesis
18:5) “And let me bring a piece
of bread and refresh your hearts, and then go on, for this is why you have come
to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have said.” (Genesis 18:6) So Aḇraham
ran into the tent to Sarah and said, “Hurry, make ready three measures of fine
flour, knead it and make cakes.” (Genesis 18:7) And Aḇraham ran to the herd, took a tender
and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it. (Genesis 18:8)
And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set
it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate. (Genesis 18:9)
And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “See, in
the tent.” (Genesis 18:10) And He said, “I shall certainly return to you
according to the time of life, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And
Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him. (Genesis 18:11)
Now Aḇraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age, and Sarah was
past the way of women. (Genesis 18:12) And Sarah laughed within herself, saying,
“After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my master being old too?” (Genesis 18:13)
And יהוה
said to Aḇraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I truly have a child,
since I am old?’ (Genesis 18:14) “Is any matter too hard for יהוה? At the appointed
time I am going to return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah is
to have a son.” (Genesis 18:15) But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not
laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No,
but you did laugh!” (Comment: Yahweh
will always uncover our sin- as He wants us FREE!)
(Genesis 18:16)
And the men rose up from there and looked toward Seḏom, and Aḇraham
went with them to send them away. (Genesis 18:17) And יהוה said, “Shall I hide from Aḇraham what I
am doing, (Genesis 18:18) since Aḇraham is
certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the
earth shall be blessed in him? (Genesis 18:19) “For I have known him, so that he commands
his children and his household after him, to guard the way of יהוה, to do
righteousness and right-ruling, so that יהוה brings to Aḇraham what He has spoken to
him.” (Genesis 18:20) And יהוה said, “Because the outcry against Seḏom
and Amorah is great, and because their sin is very heavy, (Genesis 18:21)
“I am going down now to see whether they have done altogether according
to the outcry against it that has come to me, and if not, I know.” (Genesis 18:22)
So the men turned away from there and went toward Seḏom, but יהוה still
stood before Aḇraham. (Genesis 18:23) And Aḇraham drew near and said, “Would you
also destroy the righteous with the wrong? (Genesis
18:24) “Suppose there are fifty
righteous within the city, would You also destroy the place and not spare it
for the fifty righteous that were in it? (Genesis
18:25) “Far be it from You to act
in this way, to slay the righteous with the wrong, so that the righteous should
be as the wrong. Far be it from You! Does the Judge of all the earth not do
right?” (Genesis 18:26) And יהוה said, “If I find in Seḏom fifty righteous
within the city, then I shall spare the entire place for their sakes.” (Genesis 18:27)
And Aḇraham answered and said, “Look, please, I who am but dust and
ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to יהוה, (Genesis 18:28)
“Suppose there are five less than the fifty righteous, would you destroy the
entire city for lack of five?” And He said, “If I find there forty-five, I do
not destroy it.” (Genesis 18:29) And he spoke to Him yet again and said,
“Suppose there are found forty?” And He said, “I would not do it for the sake
of forty.” (Genesis 18:30) And he said, “Let not יהוה be displeased, and let me speak: Suppose
there are found thirty?” And He said, “I would not do it if I find thirty
there.” (Genesis 18:31) And he said, “Look, please, I have taken it
upon myself to speak to יהוה: Suppose there are found twenty?” And He said, “I would not
destroy it for the sake of twenty.” (Genesis 18:32) And he said, “Let not יהוה be displeased, and let me speak only this
time: Suppose there are found ten?” And He said, “I would not destroy it for
the sake of ten.” (Genesis 18:33) Then יהוה went away as soon as He had ended speaking
to Aḇraham. And Aḇraham returned to his place.
Angels sent to destroy Sodom (Wherever wickedness reigns expect
destruction) USA? See www.wyattmuseum.com
for pictures of the ashen city, due to 5000 degrees F the molecular density was
greater after the fire of the ash- so it did not blow away- and as YHWH’s word
declares in Kefa- left as a sample for the ungodly. I’ve walked there- it smells like a fireplace--
(Genesis
19:1) And the two messengers came to Seḏom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of
Seḏom. And when Lot saw them, he rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself
with his face toward the ground, (Genesis 19:2)
and he said, “Look, please my masters, please turn in to your servant’s house
and spend the night, and wash your feet, and rise early and go your way.” And
they said, “No, but let us spend the night in the open square.” (Genesis 19:3)
But he urged them strongly, and they turned in to him and came into his
house. And he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. (Genesis 19:4)
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Seḏom, both old
and young, all the people from every part surrounded the house. (Genesis 19:5)
And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to
you tonight? Bring them out to us, and let us ‘know’ them.” (Genesis 19:6)
So Lot went out to them through the doorway, and shut the door behind
him, (Genesis 19:7) and said, “Please, my
brothers, do not do evil! (Genesis 19:8) “Look, please, I have two daughters who have
not known a man. Please, let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you
wish, only do no deed to these men, because they have come under the shadow of
my roof.” (Genesis 19:9) But they said, “Stand back!” And they said,
“This one came in to sojourn, and should he always judge? Now we are going to
treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came
near to break down the door. (Genesis 19:10) But the men reached out their hands and
pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. (Genesis 19:11) Then they
struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small
and great, and they wearied themselves to find the door. (Genesis 19:12)
And the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? A son-in-law, and
your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city – bring them
out of this place! (Genesis 19:13) “We are going to destroy this place, because
the cry against them has grown great before the face of יהוה, and יהוה has sent us to destroy it.” (Genesis
19:14) And Lot went out and spoke
to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place, for יהוה is going to destroy
this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be as one joking. (Genesis 19:15)
And when morning dawned, the messengers urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Get
up, and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be
consumed in the punishment of the city.” (Genesis
19:16) And while he loitered, the
men took hold of his hand, and his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two
daughters, יהוה
having compassion on him, and they brought him out and set him outside the
city. (Genesis 19:17) And it came to be, when they had brought them
outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay
anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed.” (Genesis 19:18)
And Lot said to them, “Oh no, יהוה! (Genesis 19:19) “Look, please, your servant has found favor
in your eyes, and you have increased your kindness which you have shown me by
saving my life, but I am unable to escape to the mountains, lest calamity
overtakes me and I die. (Genesis 19:20) “Look, please, this city is near enough to
flee to, and it is small. Please let me escape there – is it not a small matter
– and let my life be saved?” (Genesis 19:21) And He said to him, “Look, I have favored you
concerning this matter also, without overthrowing this city for which you have
spoken. (Genesis 19:22) “Hurry, escape there, I am not able to do any
deed until you arrive there.” So the name of the city was called Tsoʽar. (Genesis 19:23) the sun had risen upon the earth when
Lot entered Tsoʽar. (Genesis 19:24) and יהוה rained
sulphur and fire on Seḏom and Amorah, from יהוה out of the heavens. (Genesis 19:25)
So He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants
of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis
19:26) But his wife looked back
from behind him, and she became a post of salt. (Genesis
19:27) And Aḇraham arose early
in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before יהוה, (Genesis 19:28) and he looked toward Seḏom and
Amorah, and toward all the land of the plain. And he looked and saw the smoke
of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace. (Genesis
19:29) Thus it came to be, when
Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain, that Elohim remembered Aḇraham, and
sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in
which Lot had dwelt. (Genesis 19:30) And Lot went up out of Tsoʽar and dwelt in
the mountains, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to dwell
in Tsoʽar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.
No wonder we are warned to not get drunk on wine but be filled with the
Ruach
(Genesis 19:31)
And the first-born said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is
no man on the earth to come in to us, as is the way of all the earth. (Genesis 19:32)
“Come, let us make our father drink wine and lie with him, so that we
preserve the seed of our father.” (Genesis 19:33) So they made their father drink wine that
night. And the first-born went in and lay with her father, and he was not aware
of it when she lay down or when she arose. (Genesis
19:34) And it came to be on the
next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father
last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie
with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.” (Genesis
19:35) So they made their father
drink wine that night as well. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he
was not aware of it when she lay down or when she arose. (Genesis 19:36)
Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. (Genesis 19:37)
And the first-born bore a son and called his name Mo’aḇ, he is the
father of the Mo’aḇites to this day. (Genesis 19:38) And the younger, she also bore a son and
called his name Ben-Ammi, he is the father of the children of Ammon to this
day. (Genesis 20:1) And Aḇraham set out from there to the land of the South, and
dwelt between Qaḏĕsh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. (Genesis
20:2) And Aḇraham said
concerning Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Aḇimeleḵ sovereign of
Gerar sent and took Sarah. (Genesis 20:3) But Elohim came to Aḇimeleḵ in a dream by
night, and said to him, “See, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you
have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” (Genesis 20:4) However, Aḇimeleḵ had not come near her,
and he said, “יהוה, would you slay a righteous nation
also? (Genesis 20:5) “Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And
she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart
and in the innocence of my hands I have done this.” (Genesis
20:6) And Elohim said to him in a
dream, “Yea, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart, and so I
kept you from sinning against me. For this reason I did not let you touch her. (Genesis 20:7)
“And now, return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and let him pray
for you and you live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall
certainly die, you and all that are yours.” (Genesis
20:8) So Aḇimeleḵ rose early in
the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their
hearing. And the men were greatly frightened. (Genesis
20:9) And Aḇimeleḵ called
Aḇraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? In what have I sinned
against you that you have brought on me and on my reign a great sin? You have
done matters to me that should not be done.” (Genesis
20:10) And Aḇimeleḵ said to
Aḇraham, “What did you have in view, that you have done this matter?” (Genesis 20:11)
And Aḇraham said, “Only because I said to myself, the fear of
Elohim is not in this place, and they shall kill me for the sake of my wife. (Genesis 20:12)
“And yet, she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but
not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. (Genesis
20:13) “And it came to be, when
Elohim caused me to wander from my father’s house that I said to her ‘this is
your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, say of
me, “He is my brother.” ’ ” (Genesis 20:14)
Then Aḇimeleḵ took sheep, and cattle, and male and female servants, and gave
them to Aḇraham. And he returned Sarah his wife to him. (Genesis 20:15)
And Aḇimeleḵ said, “See, my land is before you, dwell wherever it is
good in your eyes.” (Genesis 20:16) And to Sarah he said, “See, I have given your
brother a thousand pieces of silver. See, it is to you a covering of eyes
before all who are with you and before all others, and you are cleared before
everyone.” (Genesis 20:17) And Aḇraham prayed to Elohim, and Elohim
healed Aḇimeleḵ, and his wife, and his female servants, so they bore
children, (Genesis 20:18) for יהוה had closed up all
the wombs of the house of Aḇimeleḵ because of Sarah, Aḇraham’s wife.
If we get rid of our unbelief (We may take prayer and fasting) all things are possible!
(Genesis 21:1) And יהוה visited
Sarah as He had said, and יהוה did for Sarah as He had spoken. (Genesis
21:2) So Sarah conceived and bore
Aḇraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which Elohim had spoken
to him. (Genesis 21:3) And Aḇraham called the name of his son who
was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Yitsḥaq. (Genesis
21:4) and Aḇraham circumcised
his son Yitsḥaq when he was eight days old, as Elohim had commanded him. (Genesis 21:5)
And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to
him. (Genesis 21:6) And Sarah said, “Elohim has made me laugh,
and everyone who hears of it laughs with me.” (Genesis
21:7) And she said, “Who would
have said to Aḇraham that Sarah would nurse children? I have borne him a son in his old age.” (Genesis 21:8)
And the child grew and was weaned, and Aḇraham made a great feast on
the day that Yitsḥaq was weaned. (Genesis 21:9) And Sarah saw the son of Haḡar the Mitsrite,
whom she had borne to Aḇraham, mocking. (Genesis
21:10) So she said to Aḇraham,
“Drive out this female servant and her son, for the son of this female servant
shall not inherit with my son, with Yitsḥaq.” (Genesis
21:11) And the matter was very
evil in the eyes of Aḇraham because of his son. (Genesis
21:12) But Elohim said to
Aḇraham, “Let it not be evil in your eyes because of the boy and because of
your female servant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for
in Yitsḥaq your seed is called. (Genesis 21:13) “And of the son of the female servant I also
make a nation, because he is your seed.” (Genesis
21:14) And Aḇraham rose early in
the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, which he gave to Haḡar,
putting it on her shoulder, also the boy, and sent her away. And she left and
wandered in the Wilderness of Be’ĕrsheḇa. (Genesis
21:15) and the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy
under one of the shrubs. (Genesis 21:16) And she went and sat down about a bowshot
away, for she said, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” And she sat opposite
him, and lifted her voice and wept. (Genesis 21:17) And Elohim heard the voice of the boy, and
the messenger of Elohim called to Haḡar from the heavens, and said to her,
“What is the matter with you, Haḡar? Do not fear, for Elohim has heard the
voice of the boy where he is. (Genesis 21:18) “Arise, lift up the boy and hold him with
your hand, for I make a great nation of him.” (Genesis
21:19) And Elohim opened her
eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water,
and gave the boy a drink. (Genesis 21:20) And Elohim was with the boy, and he grew and
dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. (Genesis
21:21) And he dwelt in the
Wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of
Mitsrayim. (Genesis 21:22) And it came to be at that time that Aḇimeleḵ
and Piḵol, the commander of his army, spoke to Aḇraham, saying, “Elohim is
with you in all that you do. (Genesis 21:23) “And now, swear to me by Elohim, not to be
untrue to me, to my offspring, or to my descendants. Do to me according to the
kindness that I have done to you and to the land in which you have dwelt.” (Genesis 21:24)
And Aḇraham said, “I swear.” (Genesis 21:25) And Aḇraham reproved Aḇimeleḵ because of a
well of water which Aḇimeleḵ’s servants had seized. (Genesis
21:26) And Aḇimeleḵ said, “I do
not know who has done this deed. Neither did you inform me, nor did I hear
until today.” (Genesis 21:27) So Aḇraham took sheep and cattle and gave
them to Aḇimeleḵ, and the two of them made a covenant. (Genesis 21:28)
And Aḇraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. (Genesis 21:29)
And Aḇimeleḵ asked Aḇraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs which you
have set by them?” (Genesis 21:30) And he said, “Take these seven ewe lambs from
my hand, to be my witness that I have dug this well.” (Genesis
21:31) So he called that place
Be’ĕrsheḇa, because the two of them swore an oath there. (Genesis 21:32)
Thus they made a covenant at Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇimeleḵ raised with
Piḵol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the
Philistines. (Genesis 21:33) And he planted a tamarisk tree in
Be’ĕrsheḇa, and there called on the Name of יהוה, the Everlasting Ěl. (Genesis 21:34) And Aḇraham sojourned in the land of
the Philistines many days.
Do we also trust Him with His promise to us? (Even unto death?)
(Genesis
22:1) And it came to be after these events that
Elohim tried Aḇraham, and said to him,
“Aḇraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Genesis 22:2) And He said, “Take your son, now, your only
son Yitsḥaq, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriyah, and offer him there
as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I command you.” (Genesis 22:3)
And Aḇraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took
two of his young men with him, and Yitsḥaq his son. And he split the wood for
the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place which Elohim had commanded
him. (Genesis 22:4) And on the third day Aḇraham lifted his eyes
and saw the place from a distance. (Genesis 22:5) So Aḇraham said to his young men, “Stay here
with the donkey while the boy and I go over there and worship, and come back to
you.” (Genesis 22:6) And Aḇraham took the wood of the burnt
offering and laid it on Yitsḥaq his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and
a knife, and the two of them went together. (Genesis
22:7) And Yitsḥaq spoke to
Aḇraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.”
And he said, “See, the fire and the wood! But where is the lamb for a burnt
offering?” (Genesis 22:8) And Aḇraham said, “My son, Elohim does
provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” And the two of them went
together. (Genesis 22:9) And they came to the place which Elohim had
commanded him, and Aḇraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order.
And he bound Yitsḥaq his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. (Genesis 22:10)
And Aḇraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son, (Genesis 22:11) but the Messenger of יהוה called to him from the heavens and said, “Aḇraham, Aḇraham!”
And he said, “Here I am.” (Genesis 22:12) And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the
boy, nor touch him. For now I know that you fear Elohim, seeing you have not
withheld your son, your only son, from me.” (Genesis
22:13) And Aḇraham lifted his
eyes and looked and saw behind him a ram caught in a bush by its horns, and
Aḇraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead
of his son. (Genesis 22:14) And Aḇraham called the name of the place, ‘יהוה Yireh,’
as it is said to this day, “On the mountain יהוה provides.” (Genesis
22:15) And the Messenger of יהוה called to
Aḇraham a second time from the heavens, (Genesis
22:16) and said, “By Myself I
have sworn, declares יהוה, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son,
your only son, (Genesis 22:17) that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall
certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which
is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies. (Genesis 22:18)
“And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because
you have obeyed my voice.” (Genesis 22:19) Then Aḇraham returned to his young men, and
they rose up and went together to Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇraham dwelt at
Be’ĕrsheḇa. (Genesis 22:20) and it came to be
after these events that it was reported to Aḇraham, saying, “See, Milkah too
has borne children to your brother Naḥor: (Genesis
22:21) “Uts his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Qemu’ĕl the father
of Aram, (Genesis 22:22) and Keseḏ, and Ḥazo,
and Pildash, and Yiḏlaph, and Bethu’ĕl.” (Genesis
22:23) And Bethu’ĕl brought forth
Riḇqah. These eight Milkah bore to Naḥor, Aḇraham’s brother. (Genesis 22:24)
His concubine’s name was Re’uwmah; also bore Teḇaḥ, Gaḥam, Taḥash,
and Maʽaḵah.
The miraculous will be necessary for us also in the fiery trials of greater
darkness!
(2
Kings 4:1) And a certain woman of the wives of the sons
of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead,
and you know that your servant feared יהוה. And the
lender has come to take my two sons to be his slaves.” (2
Kings 4:2) And Elisha said to
her, “What should I do for you? Inform me, what do you have in the house?” And
she said, “Your female servant has none at all in the house except a pot of
oil.” (2 Kings 4:3) And he said, “Go, borrow vessels from
everywhere, from all your neighbors, empty vessels, do not get a few. (2 Kings 4:4)
“And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your
sons. Then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the filled ones.” (2 Kings 4:5)
So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who
brought the vessels to her, and she poured it out. (2 Kings 4:6)
And it came to be, when the vessels were filled, that she said to her
son, “Bring me another vessel.” But he said to her, “There is not another
vessel.” And the oil ceased. (2 Kings 4:7) So she went and informed the man of Elohim,
and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt. And you and your sons
live on the rest.” (2 Kings 4:8) And it came to be on a day that Elisha went
to Shunĕm, where there was a prominent woman, and she urged him to eat some
food. And it came to be, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to
eat some food. (2 Kings 4:9) And she said to her husband, “Look, I know
that this is a set-apart man of Elohim, who passes by us continually. (2 Kings 4:10)
“Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall, and let us put a
bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand. And it shall be,
whenever he comes to us, let him turn in there.” (2
Kings 4:11) And it came to be on
a day that he came there, and he turned in to the upper room and lay down
there. (2 Kings 4:12) And he said to Gĕḥazi his servant, “Call
this Shunammite woman.” So he called her, and she stood before him. (2 Kings 4:13)
And he said to him, “Please say to her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this
trouble for us. What is there to be done for you? Should I speak on your behalf
to the sovereign or to the commander of the army?’ ” And she answered, “I am
dwelling among my own people.” (2 Kings 4:14) And he said, “What then is to be done for
her?” And Gĕḥazi answered, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.” (2 Kings 4:15)
And he said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway.
(2 Kings 4:16)
And he said, “About this time next year you shall embrace a son.” And
she said, “No, my master, man of Elohim, do not lie to your female servant!” (2 Kings 4:17)
And the woman conceived, and bore a son when the appointed time had
come, of which Elisha had spoken to her. (2 Kings
4:18) And the child grew. And it
came to be on a day that he went out to his father, to the reapers, (2 Kings 4:19) and he said to his father, “My head,
my head!” And he said to a servant, “Take him to his mother.” (2 Kings 4:20)
So he took him and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees
till noon, and died. (2 Kings 4:21) And she went up and laid him on the bed of
the man of Elohim, and shut the door on him, and went out. (2 Kings 4:22)
And she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the
young men and one of the donkeys, so that I hurry to the man of Elohim and
return.” (2 Kings 4:23) And he said, “Why are you going to him today?
It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It is well!” (2 Kings 4:24)
And she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Drive and go, do
not slow down, except I speak to you.” (2 Kings 4:25)
And she went, and came to the man of
Elohim at Mount Karmel. And it came to be, when the man of Elohim saw her at a distance
that he said to his servant Gĕḥazi, “See, the Shunammite woman. (2 Kings 4:26)
“Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it
well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ” And she answered, “It is
well.” (2 Kings 4:27) And she came to the man of Elohim at the
hill, and she caught him by the feet, but Gĕḥazi came near to push her away.
But the man of Elohim said, “Leave her alone, for her being is bitter in her,
and יהוה
has hidden it from me, and has not revealed it to me.” (2
Kings 4:28) And she said, “Did I
ask a son of my master? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?” (2 Kings 4:29)
And he said to Gĕḥazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your
hand, and go. When you meet anyone, do not greet him, and when anyone greets
you, do not answer him. And you shall lay my staff on the face of the child.” (2 Kings 4:30)
And the mother of the child said, “As יהוה lives, and as your being lives, I do not
leave you.” And he rose and followed her. (2 Kings
4:31) And Gĕḥazi went on ahead
of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child. But there was no voice
and there was no hearing, so he went back to meet him, and reported to him,
saying, “The child has not awakened.” (2 Kings 4:32) And Elisha came into the house and saw the
child was dead, lying on his bed, (2 Kings 4:33)
and he went in, and shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to יהוה. (2 Kings 4:34)
And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and
his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretched himself out on
the child, and the flesh of the child became warm. (2
Kings 4:35) And he returned and
walked back and forth in the house, then went up and stretched himself out on
him. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. (2 Kings 4:36)
And he called Gĕḥazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called
her. And she came in to him, and he said, “Pick up your son.” (2 Kings 4:37)
Then she went in and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground,
and picked up her son and went out.
Let us flee
darkness- remove our stubbornness and change our speaking!
(2
Peter 2:4) For if Elohim did not spare the messengers (Angels) who sinned, but sent them to
Tartaros, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment, (2 Peter 2:5)
and did not spare the world of old, but preserved Noaḥ, a proclaimer of righteousness, and seven others,
bringing in the flood on the world of the wicked, (2
Peter 2:6) and having reduced to
ashes the cities of Seḏom and Amorah condemned them to destruction – having made them an example to those
who afterward would live wickedly, (2 Peter
2:7) and rescued righteous Lot, who was oppressed with the indecent behavior of the lawless 1
Footnote: 1 The Greek word here, and in
3:17, is athesmos (not
the usual one, anomos) but it also means “lawless.” (2 Peter 2:8)
(for day after day that righteous man, dwelling among them, tortured his
righteous being by seeing and hearing their lawless works), (2 Peter 2:9) then יהוה knows how to
rescue the reverent ones from trial and to keep the unrighteous unto the Day of
Judgment, to be punished, (2 Peter 2:10) and most of all those walking after the
flesh in filthy lust and despising authority – bold, headstrong, speaking evil
of esteemed ones, (2 Peter 2:11) whereas messengers (Angels) who are greater in
strength and power do not bring a slanderous accusation against them before the
Master.
Loved One- here is my prayer for you
and your loved ones as darkness is fast overcoming this world in which we were
born. For such a battle as this;
(Isaiah 60:1) “Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:2) “For
look, darkness covers the earth and thick (gross) darkness the
peoples. But יהוה
rises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you.
(Isaiah 60:3) “And the gentiles (pagans) shall come to your
light 1 and sovereigns to
the brightness of your rising. You will
be helped and sustained as you keep the testimony of Yahshua and keep His
commands (those are the only ones hasatan makes war against as the rest of
earth’s population are already in his camp) As my friend Michael Rood says
often- “You will be here until your testimony is finished- so my advice is get
a testimony and stretch it out!” In Lindsay Ann- my daughter’s words= DO THE GOSPEL!
I pray you produce much fruit that remains! Thanks for your mighty prayers
for us- they are life sustaining!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
Continued from Page 1…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 who are still scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which
parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look once again together;
(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 from here forward!) Ten men (Ten tribes
scattered) 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.
