Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
This study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered! Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…
Loved One- you are a Truth Searcher- and you know- as in the Days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of Yahshua…we will continue to look at keeping the main thing- the main thing!
Act 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ 1 Footnote: 1 Joel 2:28-32, Romans 10:13.
The Greek word for saved above is SOZO- meaning saved, healed, delivered…as in from every attack from hell’s plan- as we call on the WORD of Yahweh to DELIVER AND SAVE us. His NAME infers His integrity and character- as in our relationship with Him- not a magic name. Remember the seven sons of Sceva; the Jewish Priest who had no relationship with him…
Act 19:13 But certain roving Yehuḏite exorcists took it upon themselves to call the Name of the Master יהושעover those who had wicked spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by יהושע whom Sha’ul proclaims.” Act 19:14 And there were seven sons of a certain Skeua, a Yehuḏite chief priest, who were doing this. Act 19:15 And the wicked spirit answering, said, “יהושע I know, and Sha’ul I know, but who are you?” Act 19:16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Loved Ones- How would life look IF we were really getting close to the END of The Age? Darkness would cover the earth and vast or gross darkness would cover the people. Most of would consider that a very real and present process we seem to be watching- perhaps not all in slow motion anymore. Might there be organized plans by hasatan to blind us, distract us, and destroy as much of mankind as he can?
Revelation 12:12 “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” Revelation 12:13And when the dragon (hasatan) saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Idiom for born again believers living on the earth) who gave birth to the male child.
Yahshua lovingly warned us, John 10:4 “And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. John 10:5 “And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” John 10:6 יהושע used this figure of speech, but they did not know what He had been saying to them. John 10:7 יהושע therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:8 “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. John 10:9 “I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to slaughter (Kill), and to destroy. I have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure (Abundantly-More than enough). John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
Here’s our dilemma loved one:
We are likely the last days LUKE WARM assemblies of believers or luke-warm BODY of MESSIAH- He is the head and we are the parts… called Laodicea. I expect this applies to us also—many of us have left our first love- YAHSHUA- and it is time we repent and be restored!
Revelation 2:2 “I know your works, and your labor, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones, and have tried those who say they are emissaries and are not, and have found them false; Revelation 2:3and you have been bearing up and have endurance, and have labored for My Name’s sake and have not become weary. Revelation 2:4 “But I hold this against you, that you have left your first love. Revelation 2:5 “So remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works, or else I shall come to you speedily and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Revelation 2:6 “Yet this you have, that you hate the works of the Nikolaites, (NICO= POWER or CONQUER and LAITY=The PEOPLE- which is a church system that controls from the top) which I also hate. Revelation 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes 1 I shall give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Elohim.”’ 2 Footnote: 1This word (and its noun) is used 17 times in the Book of Revelation. Remember: the name Yisra’ĕl means to overcome with Ěl. 2 See 22:2&14.
Revelation 3:14 “And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim,1 says this: Footnote: 1 Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 1:6.Revelation 3:15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. Revelation 3:16 “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth. Revelation 3:17 “Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. Revelation 3:18 “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire,1 so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. Footnote: 1 Psalms 19:10, Psalms 119:72 & 127, Proverbs 30:5. Revelation 3:19 “As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent. Revelation 3:20 “See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Loved One- what is our purpose in this life? What gives us that sense of having lived to the fullest and attained your calling and destiny? The purpose for which your Creator gave you BREATH and LIFE? Do you and I want to realize our destiny as a brother, wife, sister, mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother, career, wealthy, famous, average person, friend of others, politician, boss, industry leader, WHAT? Time to think on these matters…
Keeping the main thing the main thing- we can expect hasatan to distract us with cares of this world, riches, the LUST or desire for THINGS and whatever means he can; so where do you and I stack up here? YEP- I agree- time we consider carefully our need to repent and draw near- and REMEMBER OUR FIRST LOVE- think it, speak it and DO IT- the GOSPEL!
Mark 4:14 “The sower sows the word. Mark 4:15 “These, then, are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. And when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.Mark 4:16 “And likewise these are the ones sown on rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy, Mark 4:17 and they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then when pressure or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Mark 4:18 “And others are those sown among thorns, these are they who hear the word, Mark 4:19 and the worries (Cares- making a living might be one) of this age, and the deceit of riches, and the desires for other matters, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes fruitless. Mark 4:20 “And those sown on good soil, are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, and some sixty, and some a hundred.” WE MUST BECOME GOOD SOIL!
Another distraction for many is escape from reality- electronic games- seekers of pleasure- what do we live for? WHO or WHAT are we living for – what is it that we do that we would declare at the end of our lives---I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE WELL- I am pleased with my life’s accomplishments? This determination to become conformed to His image as a life purpose will become more and more transparent and must be our determined reality as we move closer to His second coming! We’ll try and break down Yahshua’s detailed plan in the SERMON ON THE MOUNT that He gave Neville Johnson recently when he experienced a visitation from Yahshua- KEEPING THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING! We must become focused and determined to be as Yahshua and walk as He walked. Conformed to His image means fiery trials and us dying to ourselves and allowing Him to grow in us- the hope of GLORY- which is His presence in us! The traps are set pleasure seems to be hasatan’s distraction- we have no time for any other goal so to speak. Hard times- even oppression will come.
2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days’ hard (Perilous) times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, 2 Timothy 3:3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, 2 Timothy 3:4 betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim, 2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of reverence 1 (Comment: who has a “form” of reverence? Certainly not the drunks, sorcerer’s, and whores- these with apparent play church reverence are religious folk- hence the great trap that will take many to hell- they have NO POWER because they deny that- they have head knowledge but not sold out HEART KNOWLEDGE- and they will not receive His power to be witnesses---so they can produce little, if any; FRUIT THAT REMAINS) but denying its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: 1 See v. 13, Isaiah 24:5-6, Matthew 24:12, Romans 1:30-31, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-11. 2 Timothy 3:6 For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 2 Timothy 3:7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Loved One the reason they fail- is they have rejected the power of His Spirit. Here is the promise of the POWER TO BE A WITNESS:
Act 1:7 And He (Yahshua) said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.”
Above is the PROMISE- and Below is the PROMISE IN ACTION
Act 2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Weeks had come, they were all with one mind in one place. Act 2:2And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Act 2:3 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak. Act 2:5 Now in Yerushalayim there were dwelling Yehuḏim, dedicated men from every nation under the heaven. Act 2:6 And when this sound came to be, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? Act 2:8 “And how do we hear, each one in our own language in which we were born? Act 2:9 “Parthians and Medes and Ěylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Yehuḏah and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia, Act 2:10 both Phrygia and Pamphulia, Mitsrayim and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehuḏim and converts, Act 2:11 “Cretans and Araḇs, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great deeds of Elohim.” Act 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were puzzled, saying to each other, “What does this mean?” Act 2:13And others mocking said, “They have been filled with sweet wine.” Act 2:14 But Kĕpha, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “Men of Yehuḏah and all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, let this be known to you, and listen closely to my words. Act 2:15 “For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, since it is only the third hour of the day. Act 2:16 “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ĕl (Joel): Act 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams, Act 2:18 and also on My male servants and on My female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. Act 2:19 ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. Act 2:20 ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of יהוה. Act 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ 1 Footnote: 1 Joel 2:28-32, Romans 10:13. The Greek word for savedabove is SOZO- meaning saved, healed, delivered…as in from every attack from hell’s plan- as we call on the WORD of Yahweh to DELIVER AND SAVE us. As I mentioned earlier at the start of this study- His NAME infers His integrity and character- as in our relationship with Him- not a magic name. Remember the seven sons of Sceva the Jewish Priest who had no relationship with him… Act 19:13 But certain roving Yehuḏite exorcists took it upon themselves to call the Name of the Master יהושע over those who had wicked spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by יהושע whom Sha’ul proclaims.” Act 19:14 And there were seven sons of a certain Skeua, a Yehuḏite chief priest, who were doing this. Act 19:15 And the wicked spirit answering, said, “יהושע I know, and Sha’ul I know, but who are you?” Act 19:16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Matthew 5:2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying, Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit (Correction- after more study- I am convinced for your consideration; that this term means HUNGRY in your spirit man for TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS- not necessarily humble), because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:5“Blessed are the meek (Correction here also- this is HUMBLE—with humility- not boastful or prideful but willing to sacrifice all), because they shall inherit the earth.1 Footnote: 1 Psalms 37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,1 because they shall be filled. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 55:1-2, Matthew 4:4, John 6:48-51. Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the compassionate, (Comment: If you are merciful to others- you will qualify for more mercy from Yahweh) because they shall obtain compassion.Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the clean (Pure) in heart,1 because they shall see Elohim. Footnote: 1 Psalms 24:3-4.Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, (Do you and I make PEACE among people? That qualifies us to be called sons) because they shall be called sons of Elohim. Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those persecuted (If we are persecuted for righteousness- that qualifies us to rule and reign with Yahshua as a King and Priest) for righteousness’ 1 sake, because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 11Peter 3:14. Matthew 5:11 “Blessed are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake. Matthew 5:12 “Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the heavens is great. For in this way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain. Matthew 5:15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house. Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens.
As thick darkness covers the people due to satanic wickedness- our Deliverer will have us shine brighter and brighter as we walk in His power! (Isaiah 60:1) “Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory/anointing) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:3) “And the gentiles shall come to your light 1 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 60:19, 20, Revelation 21:23, 24. (Isaiah 60:4) “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. (Isaiah 60:5) “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isaiah 60:6 “A stream of camels covers your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה. (Isaiah 60:7) “All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed House.

What are we THINKING AND SAYING? Dr. Emoto experiments
Let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayakhel- “then he assembled”
Exodus 35:1-38:20; 1 Kings 7:13-26; 2 Corinthians 9:1-15
The First Great Test of OBEDIENCE- THE SHABBAT (Sabbath)! Note our gifts are acceptable based on our willingness to give them!
(Exodus 35:1) And Mosheh assembled all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and said to them, “These are the Words which יהוה has commanded you to do: (Exodus 35:2) “Work is done for six days, but on the seventh day it shall be set-apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to יהוה. Anyone doing work on it is put to death. (Exodus 35:3) “Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” (Exodus 35:4) And Mosheh spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the word which יהוה commanded, saying, (Exodus 35:5) ‘Take from among you a contribution to יהוה. Everyone whose heart so moves him, let him bring it as a contribution to יהוה: gold, and silver, and bronze, (Exodus 35:6) and blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, (Exodus 35:7) and ram skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, (Exodus 35:8) and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, (Exodus 35:9) and shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate. (Exodus 35:10) ‘And let all the wise-hearted among you come and make all that יהוה has commanded: (Exodus 35:11) the Dwelling Place, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its columns, and its sockets, (Exodus 35:12) the ark and its poles, the lid of atonement and the veil of the covering,(Exodus 35:13) the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the showbread, (Exodus 35:14) and the lampstand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light, (Exodus 35:15) and the incense altar, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the door at the entrance of the Dwelling Place,(Exodus 35:16) the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand,(Exodus 35:17) the screens of the courtyard, its columns, and their sockets, and the covering for the gate of the courtyard, (Exodus 35:18) the pegs of the Dwelling Place, and the pegs of the courtyard, and their cords, (Exodus 35:19) the woven garments to do service in the set-apart place, the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests.’ ” (Exodus 35:20) and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl withdrew from the presence of Mosheh. (Exodus 35:21) And everyone whose heart lifted him up and everyone whose spirit moved him came, and they brought the contribution to יהוה for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the set-apart garments. (Exodus 35:22) And they came, both men and women, all whose hearts moved them, and brought earrings and nose rings, and rings and necklaces, all golden goods, even everyone who made a wave offering of gold to יהוה. (Exodus 35:23) And every man, with whom was found blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, brought them. (Exodus 35:24) Everyone who would make a contribution to יהוה of silver or bronze brought it. And everyone with who was found acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. (Exodus 35:25) And all the wise-hearted women spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, the blue and the purple, the scarlet material, and the fine linen. (Exodus 35:26) And all the women whose hearts lifted them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair. (Exodus 35:27) And the rulers brought shoham stones, and the stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate, (Exodus 35:28) and the spices and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. (Exodus 35:29) The children of Yisra’ĕl brought a voluntary offering to יהוה, all the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring all kinds of work whichיהוה, by the hand of Mosheh, had commanded to be done. (Exodus 35:30) And Mosheh said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah, (Exodus 35:31) and He has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, (Exodus 35:32) to make designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze, (Exodus 35:33) and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all workmanship of design. (Exodus 35:34) “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan. (Exodus 35:35) “He has filled them with skill to do all work of the engraver and the designer and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and a weaver, doing any work, and makers of designs.
Giving to YHWH abundantly brings our provision back to us abundantly!
(Exodus 36:1) “And Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in whom יהוה has given wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all work for the service of the set-apart place, shall do according to all that יהוה has commanded.” (Exodus 36:2) And Mosheh called Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in whose heartיהוה had given wisdom, everyone whose heart lifted him up, to come and do the work. (Exodus 36:3) And they received from Mosheh all the contribution which the children of Yisra’ĕl had brought for the work of the service of making the set-apart place. But they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning, (Exodus 36:4) so all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the set-apart place came, each from the work he was doing, (Exodus 36:5) and they spoke to Mosheh, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which יהוהcommanded us to do.” (Exodus 36:6) Then Mosheh commanded and they sent this word throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the contribution of the set-apart place.” And the people were withheld from bringing, (Exodus 36:7) for what they had was enough for all the work to be done, more than enough. (Exodus 36:8) Then all the wise-hearted ones among them who worked on the Dwelling Place made ten curtains woven of fine linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. They made them with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 36:9) The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure. (Exodus 36:10) And he joined five curtains, one to another; and the other five curtains he joined, one to another. (Exodus 36:11) And he made loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain of one set, the same he did on the edge of the end curtain of the other set. (Exodus 36:12) Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the end curtain of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another. (Exodus 36:13) And he made fifty hooks of gold, and joined the curtains to each other with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place became one. (Exodus 36:14) And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the Dwelling Place, he made eleven curtains. (Exodus 36:15) The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, the eleven curtains having one measure. (Exodus 36:16) And he joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. (Exodus 36:17) And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set. (Exodus 36:18) And he made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent, to be one. (Exodus 36:19) And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins, dyed red, and a covering of fine leather above that. (Exodus 36:20) And for the Dwelling Place he made boards of acacia wood, standing up. (Exodus 36:21) The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half. (Exodus 36:22) Each board had two tenons for binding one to another. So he did to all the boards of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:23) And he made boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side. (Exodus 36:24) And he made forty sockets of silver to go under the twenty boards, and two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. (Exodus 36:25) And for the other side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, he made twenty boards, (Exodus 36:26) and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board. (Exodus 36:27) And he made six boards for the west side of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:28) And he made two boards for the two back corners of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:29) And they were double beneath, and similarly they were complete to the top by one ring. So he did to both of them for the two corners. (Exodus 36:30) And there were eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each of the boards. (Exodus 36:31) And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place, (Exodus 36:32) and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the Dwelling Place at the rear, westward. (Exodus 36:33) And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other. (Exodus 36:34) And he overlaid the boards with gold, and their rings he made of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. (Exodus 36:35) And he made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine worked linen. It was made with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 36:36) And he made four columns of acacia wood for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold. And he cast four sockets of silver for them. (Exodus 36:37) And he made a covering for the Tent door of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine woven linen, made by a weaver, (Exodus 36:38) and its five columns with their hooks. And he overlaid their tops and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were of bronze.
My expectation is the Ark of the Covenant is the Throne of YHWH in the earth and will be sat in by the anti-messiah as the abomination that makes desolate…I recently heard some scientists in quantum physics declare they believed this to be a threat of nuclear devastation of Jerusalem by the anti-messiah.
(Exodus 37:1) And Betsal’ĕl made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 37:2) And he overlaid it with clean gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:3) And he cast four rings of gold for it, for its four feet, two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side. (Exodus 37:4) And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:5) And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to lift the ark. (Exodus 37:6) And he made a lid of atonement of clean gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. (Exodus 37:7) And he made two keruḇim of beaten gold. He made them from the two ends of the lid of atonement, (Exodus 37:8) one keruḇ at one end on this side, and the other keruḇ at the other end on that side. He made the keruḇim from the lid of atonement, from the two ends. (Exodus 37:9) And the keruḇim spread out their wings above, and covered the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the keruḇim were turned toward the lid of atonement. (Exodus 37:10) And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, and a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 37:11) And he overlaid it with clean gold, and made a molding of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:12) And he made a rim of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the rim all around it. (Exodus 37:13) And he cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. (Exodus 37:14) The rings were next to the rim, as holders for the poles to lift the table. (Exodus 37:15) And he made the poles of acacia wood to lift the table, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:16) And he made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, and its cups, and its bowls, and its jars for pouring, of clean gold. (Exodus 37:17) And he made the lampstand of clean gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs, and its blossoms were from it. (Exodus 37:18) And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. (Exodus 37:19) There were three cups like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups like almond flowers on the other branch, a knob and a blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 37:20) And on the lampstand were four cups like almond flowers, its knobs and blossoms, (Exodus 37:21) and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, for the six branches coming out of it. (Exodus 37:22) Their knobs and their branches were of it, all of it was one beaten work of clean gold. (Exodus 37:23) And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, of clean gold. (Exodus 37:24) He made it of a talent of clean gold, and all its utensils. (Exodus 37:25) And he made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high. Its horns were of it. (Exodus 37:26) And he overlaid it with clean gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns. And he made a molding for it of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:27) And he made two rings of gold for it under its molding, at its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to lift it. (Exodus 37:28) And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:29) And he made the set-apart anointing oil and the clean incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer. (Exodus 38:1) And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide, square, and three cubits high. (Exodus 38:2) And he made its horns on its four corners, the horns were of it. And he overlaid it with bronze. (Exodus 38:3) And he made all the utensils for the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the forks, and the fire holders. He made all its utensils of bronze. (Exodus 38:4) And he made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, under its rim, midway from the bottom. (Exodus 38:5) And he cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. (Exodus 38:6) And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. (Exodus 38:7) And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to lift it. He made the altar hollow with boards. (Exodus 38:8) And he made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who did service at the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Exodus 38:9) And he made the courtyard: for the south side the screens of the courtyard were of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long, (Exodus 38:10) their twenty columns and their twenty sockets, of bronze. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver. (Exodus 38:11) And for the north side the screens were one hundred cubits long, their twenty columns and their twenty sockets, of bronze. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver. (Exodus 38:12) And for the west side there were screens of fifty cubits, their ten columns and their ten sockets. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver. (Exodus 38:13) And for the east side eastward, fifty cubits:(Exodus 38:14) fifteen cubits of screens on the one side, with their three columns and their three sockets, (Exodus 38:15) and fifteen cubits of screens the other side of the courtyard gate, on this side and that side, with their three columns and their three sockets.

And all the columns of the courtyard had bands of silver. (Exodus 38:18) And the covering for the gate of the courtyard was the work of an embroiderer, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen, and twenty cubits long, and the height along its width was five cubits, corresponding to the screens of the courtyard.

(1 Kings 7:13) And Sovereign Shelomoh sent and brought Ḥiram from Tsor. (1 Kings 7:14) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tsor, a bronze worker. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to Sovereign Shelomoh and did all his work. (1 Kings 7:15) And he cast two columns of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each. (1 Kings 7:16) And he made two capitals of cast bronze, to put on the tops of the columns – the height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits – (1 Kings 7:17) a lattice network, with wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on top of the columns, seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital. (1 Kings 7:18) And he made the columns, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top, and so he did for the other capital. (1 Kings 7:19) And the capitals that were on top of the columns in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits. (1 Kings 7:20) And there were capitals above also on the two columns, by the bulge which was next to the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows on each of the capitals all around. (1 Kings 7:21) And he set up the columns by the porch of the hĕḵal. And he set up the column on the right and called its name Yaḵin, and he set up the column on the left and called its name Boʽaz. (1 Kings 7:22) and on the top of the columns was lily work. Thus the work of the columns was completed. (1 Kings 7:23) And he made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from one rim to the other, round all about, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured around it. (1 Kings 7:24) And below its rim were ornaments all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornaments were cast in two rows when it was cast. (1 Kings 7:25) It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts were inward. (1 Kings 7:26) And it was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
You have the right to partake in the reward of those that minister the Good News of Torah and the Prophets by helping them any way YHWH directs you!
(1 Corinthians 9:1) Am I not an emissary? Am I not free? Have I not seen יהושע Messiah our Master? Are you not my work in the Master? (1 Corinthians 9:2) If to others I am not an emissary, I certainly am to you. For you are the seal of my office of the emissary in the Master. (1 Corinthians 9:3) My defense to those who examine me is this: (1 Corinthians 9:4) Do we not have a right to eat and drink? (1 Corinthians 9:5) Do we not have a right to take along a sister – a wife – as do also the other emissaries, and the brothers of the Master, and Kĕpha? (Peter) (1 Corinthians 9:6) Or do only Barnaḇah and I have no right to refrain from working? (1 Corinthians 9:7) Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not feed on the milk of the flock? (1 Corinthians 9:8) Do I say this as a man? Or does not the Torah say the same too? (1 Corinthians 9:9) For it has been written in the Torah of Mosheh, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it about oxen Elohim is concerned? (1 Corinthians 9:10) Or does He say it because of us all? For this was written because of us, that he who ploughs should plough in expectation, and the thresher in expectation of sharing. (1 Corinthians 9:11) If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material goods from you? (1 Corinthians 9:12) If others share authority over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this authority, but we put up with all, lest we hinder the Good News of Messiah. (1 Corinthians 9:13) Do you not know that those serving the Set-apart Place eat from the Set-apart Place, and those attending at the altar have their share of the offerings of the altar? (1 Corinthians 9:14) So also the Master instituted that those announcing the Good News should live from the Good News. (1 Corinthians 9:15) But I have used none of these, nor have I written this that it should be done so to me. For it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting empty. (1 Corinthians 9:16) For if I bring the Good News, it is no boasting for me, for necessity is laid on me, and it is woe to me if I do not bring the Good News! (1 Corinthians 9:24) Do you not know that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to obtain it. (1 Corinthians 9:25) And everyone who competes controls himself in every way. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we for an incorruptible crown. (1 Corinthians 9:26) Therefore I run accordingly, not with uncertainty. Thus I fight, not as one who beats the air. (1 Corinthians 9:27) But I treat my body severely and make it my slave, so that when I have proclaimed to others, I myself might be rejected.
Loved One, my prayer for you and your loved ones is that you now run the race in repentance, chasing our first love- Messiah and His Father’s love- which never fails. I pray that YHWH directs you, protects you, provides for you, and uses you mightily as a fearless loved one that produces much fruit that remains- and that all your loved ones (and you) enter the Kingdom of Heaven having run the race well, hearing “Well Done you faith filled servant of mine- enter into my joy!” Loved one, thanks for your same prayers for Billie and me- as we travel--you are much loved and appreciated! Thanks so much for speaking them- they will come back to you fulfilled! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony.
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 Yehuḏite 1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.”’” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
