Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
This study is attached
for ease of print and study format- YHWH
is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who
KNOW HIM and call on His name will be delivered- HalleluYAH!
Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the
mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things-
explanation continued (as always) at end of this week’s study- AWESOME VIDEO TEACHINGS BY DR.
BRUCE ALLEN BELOW WITH LINKS!
Loved Ones- STORM’S ARE COMING- BUT RELAX IN HIM- here’s who we are becoming- those on a
solid foundation- so that when the storm comes- we are left standing after the
great storm- unscathed! Luke 6:47 “Everyone
who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words and is doing them, I shall
show you whom he is like: Luke 6:48 “He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a
foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the stream burst against that
house, but was unable to shake
it, for it was founded on the rock.
Luke 6:49 “But
the one hearing and not doing, is like a man who built a house on the earth
without a foundation, against which the stream burst, and immediately it fell.
And the ruin of that house was great.”
Amos 9:8 “Look, the eyes
of the Master יהוה are on the
sinful reign1, and I shall destroy
it from the face of the earth, except that, I do not completely destroy the
house of Yaʽaqoḇ,” declares יהוה. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 34:2, Jeremiah 30:11, Jeremiah
46:28, Daniel 2:44, Zephaniah 3:8, Haggai 2:22, Luke 4:5-6. Amos 9:9 “For look, I am commanding, and I shall sift (Shake) the house of Yisra’ĕl among all the gentiles,
as one sifts 1 with a sieve, yet not
a grain falls to the ground. Footnote: 1 Or
Shake - shakes.
Amos 9:10 “All the sinners of My people are
going to die by the sword, those who are saying, ‘Evil does not overtake us nor
meet us.’
Haggai 2:6 “For thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘Once more, in a
little while, and I am shaking the heavens and earth, the sea and dry land.
Haggai 2:7 ‘And I shall shake all
the nations, and they shall come to the Delight of all the nations,
and I shall fill this House with esteem (Glory),’
said יהוה of hosts. Haggai
2:8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ declares יהוה of hosts. Haggai 2:9 ‘Let the esteem (Glory) of this latter House be greater than the
former,’ said יהוה of hosts. ‘And in this place I give
peace,’ declares יהוה of hosts.”
Hebrews 12:22 But you have
drawn near to Mount Tsiyon and to the city of the living Elohim, to the
heavenly Yerushalayim, to myriads of messengers, Hebrews
12:23 to the entire gathering and assembly of the first-born having been
enrolled in heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of
righteous men made perfect, Hebrews 12:24 and
to יהושע the
Mediator 1 of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which
speaks better than the blood of Heḇel. Footnote:
1 See 8:6. Hebrews 12:25 Take
heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused
the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, Hebrews 12:26 whose voice shook the earth then, but
now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only
the earth, but also the heaven.” Hebrews
12:27 And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the removal of what is
shaken – as having been made – so that the unshaken matters might remain.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving an
unshakeable reign, let us hold the favor, through which we serve Elohim
pleasingly with reverence and awe, Hebrews 12:29
for indeed, our Elohim is a consuming fire.
There appears to be a greater, spiritual,
physical, and economic shaking coming on the USA and the entire planet
Many of you loved ones may already be
experiencing the economic fallout and the general scorn (hate) for
believers, from Europe, South Africa, Thailand, Namibia, Costa Rica, and
definitely the USA (Worldwide). Whether they finish the GLOBAL
RESET of currencies (Asset backed and remove the term FIAT) and
postpone financial meltdown (Which I definitely believe they are doing!)
or determine to start their ENDGAME and continue to collapse the world economy
purposely. I think we may all know by the end of 2016. The stock markets
(IMO) will definitely be settled and reduced back to true value as the true
value- asset backed currencies will be. I noticed yesterday that the USD is
actually still gaining in INDEX VALUE! I believe that means they have covered
their tracks and injected value there as they remove the 30 trillion plus debt
via assets garnered by conquest of middle eastern countries! We will (Read MUST) rely more and more on Him and His plan as we
seek Him diligently in prayer and fasting. (Hebrews 12:22) But you have drawn near to Mount Tsiyon
and to the city of the living Elohim, to the heavenly Yerushalayim, to myriads
of messengers, (Hebrews
12:23) to
the entire gathering and assembly of the first-born having been enrolled in
heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men
made perfect, (Hebrews
12:24) and
to יהושע the Mediator 1 of a new covenant, and
to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than the blood of
Heḇel. Footnote: 1 See
8:6. (Hebrews
12:25) Take
heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused
the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, (Hebrews 12:26) whose voice shook the
earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only
the earth, but also the heaven.” (Hebrews 12:27) And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear
the removal of what is shaken – as having been made – so that the
unshaken matters might remain. (Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, receiving an
unshakeable reign, let us hold the favor, through which we serve Elohim
pleasingly with reverence and awe, (Hebrews 12:29) for indeed, our Elohim is a consuming
fire.
As it gets darker- we will increase in LIGHT-
IF we stay close to Him and determine in our hearts that we will be even more
INTIMATE with Him as we diligently seek His Face and the TRUTH presented as we
study His word and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy
Spirit) teaches us and draws us to Him and shows us things to come.
Apparently, whatever we are found trusting
better have the solid foundation under it which is Moses (Torah) and
the prophets. A close friend recently reminded of the verse below. (Proverbs 28:8) He who increases his possessions by interest and profit
gathers it for him who shows favor to the poor. (Proverbs 28:9) He who turns away his
ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination 1. Footnote: 1 See
also 15:29, Isaiah 59:1-2, John 9:31, 1 John 3:22. (Proverbs 28:10) He, who causes the straight to go astray in an evil way,
falls into his own pit; but the perfect inherit the good. (Proverbs 28:11) A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor who has
understanding searches him out.

I can also say;
whoever rejects the Holy Spirit (Yes, even
unknowingly) will also find themselves hopeless! Why do I make such
a bold statement? Many Torah keepers have unknowingly rejected the Holy Spirit
and many Christians have rejected the Torah and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Why
do they reject the Holy Spirit? They are FEARFUL OF THE SUPERNATURAL and afraid
of getting a demon. We’ll look together…
First Yahshua (Yeshua, Jesus) was
filled with the Holy Spirit
(Mark 1:8) “I indeed did
immerse you in water, but He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit.” (Mark 1:9) And it came to be in those days that יהושעcame from Natsareth of Galil, and was immersed
by Yoḥanan in the Yardĕn. (Mark
1:10) And immediately,
coming up from the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit
coming down on Him like a dove. (Mark 1:11) And a voice came
out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the
Beloved, in whom I did delight.” (Mark 1:12) And immediately the Spirit drove Him into
the wilderness. (Mark 1:13) And He was there in the wilderness forty days (fasting and testing by hasatan),
tried by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the messengers (Angels) attended
Him. (Mark 1:14) And after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע came to Galil, proclaiming the Good
News of the reign of Elohim, (Mark 1:15) and saying, “The time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim
has come near. Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
Then Yahushua spends the remainder of
Chapter One, all of Chapter Two casting out demons and healing the sick, and we
pick up the story in Chapter Three.
(Mark 3:10) For He healed
many, so that as many as had afflictions fell upon Him to touch Him. (Mark 3:11) And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down
before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of Elohim.” (Mark 3:12) But He warned them many times that they should not make Him
known. (Mark 3:13) And He went up on the mountain and called
to Him Whom He wished, and they came to Him. (Mark 3:14) And He appointed twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out
to proclaim, (Mark 3:15) and to possess authority to heal
sicknesses and to cast out demons.
Next we see hasatan’s counter attack and
accusing (hasatan always uses those who are choosing Him as their God
and Father). This attack is always guaranteed as hasatan comes to
steal the seed (the Word) that was planted that will produce
fruit that remains. Hasatan is not fearful of you and me; but he is deathly
afraid of Yahushua’s seed (His word) because it has the power
within itself to produce fruit it was sent for. This is why we must always
stand firm in the Word (Yahushua) that we might receive the
thing promised, and not agree with facts or what is seen. What is “seen” (facts) is/are
temporal (temporary) and what is “unseen” is eternal- Yahushua
said, “My
words are life and health and healing to all your flesh,” and “Heaven and Earth will pass
away, but my words will remain forever.” The
accusation is that the power is not from the Holy Spirit but Beelzebub (hasatan).
PLEASE BE VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO ASSIGN THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SET APART SPIRIT TO DEMONS- THERE
IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THIS OFFENSE!
(Mark 3:21) And when His
relatives heard about this, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is
out of His mind.” (Mark 3:22) And the scribes who came down from
Yerushalayim said, “He has Beʽelzebul,” and, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
(Mark 3:23) And calling them
near He said to them in parables, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan? (Mark 3:24) “And if a reign is divided against itself, that
reign is unable to stand. (Mark 3:25) “And if a house is divided
against itself, that house is unable to stand. (Mark 3:26) “And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is
divided, he is unable to stand, but has an end. (Mark 3:27) “No one is able to enter a strong man’s house and
plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall
plunder his house. (Mark 3:28) “Truly,
I say to you, all the sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies
they speak, (Mark 3:29) but he
who blasphemes against the Set-apart Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is
subject to everlasting judgment,” (Mark 3:30) because they said, “He has an unclean
spirit.”
Last week we discussed leprosy and we now turn our hearts and
minds to this week’s Torah portion and about YHWH’s plan for CLEANSING
THE LEPER. Remember He promises
IF we repent and obey Him He will put (allow) none of the
diseases of the Egyptians on us! (Exodus 15:26) And
He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim and do
what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all
His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites,
for I am יהוה who heals you.”
Oh by the way, let’s look quickly at a scripture that was
mistranslated, in my opinion- and the opinion of James Trimm who is a Hebrew
and Greek scholar that I know: (This is
also attached as a separate document for your sharing)
There are lots of odd and difficult
passages in the Gospels. Many of them can be understood from the Jewish culture
of the first century, some from a poor and inaccurate translation from the
Aramaic Gospels into Greek, and some from reference to explanatory passages in
the Tanach (Old Testament).
To begin with, let us look at Simon the Leper:
To begin with, let us look at Simon the Leper:
Matthew 26:6-7 & Mark 14.3-4:
Leper or Jar maker? Which was Simon?
Matthew 26:6-7:
Matthew 26:6-7:
While Yahshua (Jesus) was in the
home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came to Him with an
alabaster jar of expensive perfume.
Mark 14:3-4:
Being in Bethany at the house of
Simon the Leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an
alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and
poured it on His head. But there were some who were indignant among themselves,
and said, ‘Why was this fragrant oil wasted?
One detail should leap out at even the casual Bible student from these parallel passages. We have a leper living in a suburb of Jerusalem in the midst of the population. Such a situation is clearly impossible, because the person who has such an infectious disease must:
One detail should leap out at even the casual Bible student from these parallel passages. We have a leper living in a suburb of Jerusalem in the midst of the population. Such a situation is clearly impossible, because the person who has such an infectious disease must:
(1)
Wear torn clothes
(2)
Let his hair be unkempt
(3)
Cover the lower part of his face,
and
(4)
Cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ because
as long as he has the infection he remains unclean.
(5)
He must live alone;
(6)
He must live ‘outside the camp.’
As Leviticus 13:45-46 stipulates:
The leper on whom the sore is, his
clothes shall be torn and his head bare; and he shall cover his beard, and cry,
‘Unclean! Unclean!’ He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall
be unclean. He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be
outside the camp.
In addition, Lepers cannot:
In addition, Lepers cannot:
(1)
Own property.
(2)
Live in or near Jerusalem, except in
a leper colony.
(3)
Employ servants.
(4)
Have feasts that Jews will legally
be able to attend.
Lepers are never called ‘lepers’
again once they are healed. They are always pronounced ‘clean’ by the priests
and re-enter society upon recovery:
The priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Leviticus14:11.
Consider the ramifications to this man’s personal life if he did as some scholars suggest. To keep being referred to as Simon the Leper would:
(1) Drive away business from him
(2) Create confusion when other Israelites from outside of
his town came to visit, and
(3) It would be considered a legal slander to refer to one
so cleansed as still possessing that impurity.
The answer to the problem of Matthew 26.6 and Mark 14.3 is
that the Aramaic for both ‘jar maker’ and ‘leper’ is
written grba. However, when they are spoken, the two words
have
different inflections that reveal their different
meanings. garba means ‘leper’, and with an
extra a, garaba means ‘jar
maker’.
It seems probable that the Greek translating scribe looked
at the Aramaic and made the wrong choice.
The correct translation of Matthew 26:6 and Mark 14.3 is: Simon the Jar maker.
There is a possible irony in these verses. Perhaps 'Simon the Jar maker' had made the ‘alabaster jar’ that the woman broke and poured the oil of spikenard on His head.
The correct translation of Matthew 26:6 and Mark 14.3 is: Simon the Jar maker.
There is a possible irony in these verses. Perhaps 'Simon the Jar maker' had made the ‘alabaster jar’ that the woman broke and poured the oil of spikenard on His head.
If
so, was Simon also one of those ‘who were indignant’ at her
action? Would he have been so ‘indignant’ if he had known that
the ‘alabaster jar’ that he had made was used to anoint the
King of Kings? Perhaps not!
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Metzorah- Cleansing the Leper
Leviticus 14:1-15:33; Malachi 3:1-4-6; Romans 6:9-23);2 Samuel 4, 5, and 6
(Leviticus 14:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 14:2) “This shall be the Torah of the leper for
the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest, (Leviticus 14:3) and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest
shall look and see, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, (Leviticus 14:4) then the priest shall command, and he shall take for him
who is to be cleansed two live and clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet,
and hyssop. (Leviticus 14:5) “And the priest shall command, and he
shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. (Leviticus 14:6) “Let him take the live bird and the cedar wood and the
scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird
that was killed over the running water. (Leviticus 14:7) “And
he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy,
and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird loose in the open
field. (Leviticus 14:8) “And he who is to be cleansed shall wash
his garments, and shall shave off all his hair and wash himself in water, and
shall be clean. Then after that he comes into the camp, but shall stay outside
his tent seven days. (Leviticus
14:9) “And on the
seventh day it shall be that he shaves all the hair off his head and his beard
and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shaves off. And he shall wash his
garments and wash his body in water, and shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:10) “And on the eighth day he takes two male lambs, perfect
ones, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, and three-tenths of
an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log
of oil. (Leviticus 14:11) “And the priest who is cleansing shall
present the man who is to be cleansed, with these offerings,
before יהוה, at
the door of the Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 14:12) “And
the priest shall take one male lamb and bring it as a guilt offering, and the
log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:13) “And he shall slaughter the lamb in the
place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a
set-apart place. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the
priest. It is most set-apart. (Leviticus 14:14) “And
the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest
shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on
the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus 14:15) “And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour
it into the palm of his own left hand. (Leviticus 14:16) “And
the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and
shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:17) “And
of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest puts some on the tip of the
right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and
on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering. (Leviticus 14:18) “And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he
puts on the head of him who is to be cleansed. And the priest shall make
atonement for him before יהוה.
(Leviticus 14:19) “And
the priest shall make the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be
cleansed from his uncleanness. Then afterwards he slaughters the burnt
offering. (Leviticus 14:20) “And the priest shall offer the burnt
offering and the grain offering on the altar. And the priest shall make
atonement for him, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:21) “But
if he is poor and is unable to afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a
guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of
an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log
of oil, (Leviticus 14:22) and two turtledoves or two young pigeons,
such as he is able to afford, and one shall be a sin offering and the other a
burnt offering. (Leviticus 14:23) “And he shall bring them to the priest on
the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:24) “And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering
and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering
before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:25) “And he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering, and
the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the
tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his
right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. (Leviticus 14:26) “Then the priest pours some of the oil into the palm of his
own left hand. (Leviticus 14:27) “And the priest shall sprinkle with his
right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:28) “And
the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the
right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of the right hand, and
on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt
offering. (Leviticus 14:29) “And the rest of the oil that is in the
priest’s hand he puts on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make
atonement for him before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:30) “And he shall prepare one of the
turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, (Leviticus 14:31) that which he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering
and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. And the priest
shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before יהוה. (Leviticus 14:32) “This
is the Torah for one who had an infection of leprosy, who is unable to afford
for his cleansing.”
The Scriptures below reminded me of
mold being found and making some real estate worthless at great financial loss! (If only we
knew how important obedience is)
(Leviticus 14:33) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon,
saying, (Leviticus 14:34) “When you come into the land of Kenaʽan,
which I am giving you as a possession, and I put a plague of leprosy in a house
in the land of your possession, (Leviticus 14:35) then
shall the one who owns the house come and inform the priest, saying, ‘It seems
to me that there is some plague in the house.’ (Leviticus 14:36) “And the priest shall command, and they shall empty the
house, before the priest goes in to look at to look at the house. (Leviticus 14:37) “And he shall look at the plague and see, if the plague is
on the walls of the house with sunken places, greenish or reddish, which appear
to be deep in the wall, (Leviticus
14:38) then the priest
shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house
seven days. (Leviticus 14:39) “And the priest shall come again on the
seventh day and look and see, if the plague has spread on the walls of the
house, (Leviticus 14:40) then the priest shall command, and they
shall remove the stones with the plague in them, and they shall throw them
outside the city, into an unclean place, (Leviticus 14:41) while
he lets the house be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape
off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. (Leviticus 14:42) “And they shall take other stones and put them in the place
of those stones, and take other mortar and plaster the house. (Leviticus 14:43) “And if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house,
after he has removed the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it
is plastered, (Leviticus 14:44) then the priest shall come and look and
see, if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the
house, it is unclean. (Leviticus
14:45) “And he shall
break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the plaster of the
house, and he shall bring them outside the city to an unclean place. (Leviticus 14:46) “And he who goes into the house, all the days while it is
shut up, becomes unclean until evening. (Leviticus 14:47) “And
he who lies down in the house has to wash his garments, and he who eats in the
house has to wash his garments. (Leviticus 14:48)
“However, if the priest indeed comes in and looks at it and sees that the
plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the
priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. (Leviticus 14:49) “And to cleanse the house, he shall take two birds, and
cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (Leviticus 14:50) “And
he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water, (Leviticus 14:51) and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the
scarlet, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in
the running water, and shall sprinkle the house seven times. (Leviticus 14:52) “He shall thus cleanse the house with the blood of the bird
and the running water and the live bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the
hyssop, and with the scarlet, (Leviticus 14:53) and
he shall let the live bird loose outside the city in the open field, and shall
make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:54) “This is the Torah for any infection of leprosy, and
eruption, (Leviticus 14:55) and for leprosy of a garment, and of a
house, (Leviticus 14:56) and for a swelling, and for a scab, and
for a bright spot, (Leviticus 14:57) to teach when it is unclean and when it is
clean. This is the Torah of leprosy.”
Discharges from the flesh
(Leviticus 15:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon,
saying, (Leviticus 15:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and
say to them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his flesh, his discharge is
unclean. (Leviticus 15:3) ‘And this is his uncleanness in regard to
his discharge; whether his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh is
stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. (Leviticus 15:4) ‘Any bed becomes unclean on which he who has the discharge
lies, and any object on which he sits becomes unclean. (Leviticus 15:5) ‘And anyone who touches his bed has to wash his garments,
and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:6) ‘And he who sits on any object on which he who has the discharge
sat, has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 15:7) ‘And he who touches the flesh of him who has
the discharge has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and shall be
unclean until evening. (Leviticus
15:8) ‘And when he who
has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his garments,
and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:9) ‘Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides becomes
unclean. (Leviticus 15:10) ‘And whoever touches any of that which was
under him is unclean until evening. And he who is carrying them up has to wash
his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:11) ‘And anyone whom he who has the discharge touches without
rinsing his hands in water, shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and be
unclean until evening. (Leviticus
15:12) ‘And the earthen vessel
which he who has the discharge touches has to be broken, and every wooden
vessel has to be rinsed in water. (Leviticus 15:13) ‘And
when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count
for himself seven days for his cleansing, and shall wash his garments, and
shall bathe his flesh in running water, and be clean. (Leviticus 15:14) ‘And on the eighth day he takes for himself two turtledoves
or two young pigeons, and shall come before יהוה, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall give them to the
priest. (Leviticus 15:15) ‘And the priest shall prepare them, the
one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. And the priest shall
make atonement for him before יהוהbecause of his discharge. (Leviticus 15:16) ‘And when a man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash
all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:17) ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen,
shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:18) ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission
of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:19) ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from
her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever
touches her is unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:20) ‘And
whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on
is unclean. (Leviticus 15:21) ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to
wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 15:22) ‘And whoever touches any object that she
sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until
evening. (Leviticus 15:23) ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object
on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:24) ‘And if any man lies with her at all, and her monthly flow
is on him, he shall be unclean seven days. And any bed he lies on is
unclean. (Leviticus 15:25) ‘And when a woman has a discharge of blood
for many days, other than at the time of her monthly separation, or when she
discharges beyond her usual time of monthly separation, all the days of her
unclean discharge shall be as the days of her monthly separation. She is
unclean. (Leviticus 15:26) ‘Any bed on which she lies all the days of
her discharge is to her as the bed of her monthly separation. And whatever she
sits on is unclean, as the uncleanness of her monthly separation. (Leviticus 15:27) ‘And anyone who touches them is unclean, and shall wash his
garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. (Leviticus 15:28) ‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall
count for herself seven days, and after that she is clean. (Leviticus 15:29) ‘And on the eighth day she takes for herself two turtledoves
or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to the door of the
Tent of Meeting. (Leviticus 15:30) ‘And the priest shall prepare the one as a
sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and the priest shall make
atonement for her before יהוה for the discharge of her uncleanness. (Leviticus 15:31) ‘Thus you shall separate the children of Yisra’ĕl from their
uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they defile My Dwelling
Place which is in their midst. (Leviticus 15:32) ‘This
is the Torah for one who has a discharge, and for him who emits semen and is
unclean thereby, (Leviticus 15:33) and for her who is sick in her monthly
separation, and for one who has a discharge, either man or woman, and for him
who lies with an unclean woman.’ ”
YAHWEH (El) CHANGES
NOT (Also Hebrews 13:8)
(Malachi 3:1) “See, I am sending
my messenger 1, and he shall prepare the way before me. Then
suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Hĕḵal (Temple), even
the Messenger (Messiah) 2 of the covenant,
in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said יהוה of hosts. Footnotes: 1 generally interpreted as Yoḥanan
the Immerser. 2 The Messiah, obviously. (Malachi 3:2) “And who is able to bear the day of His coming, and who is
able to stand when He appears? He is like the fire of a refiner, and like the
soap of a launderer. (Malachi
3:3) “And He shall sit as
a refiner and a cleanser of silver. And He shall cleanse the sons of Lĕwi, and
refine them as gold and silver, and they shall belong to יהוה, bringing near an offering in
righteousness. (Malachi 3:4) “Then shall the offering of Yehuḏah and
Yerushalayim be pleasant to יהוה, as in the days of old, as in former years. (Malachi 3:5) “And
I shall draw near to you for right-ruling. And I shall be a swift witness against the practicers of
witchcraft, and against adulterers, and against them that swear to falsehood,
and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages and widows and the
fatherless, and those who turn away a sojourner and do not fear me,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:6) “For
I am יהוה, I shall not change 1, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to
an end. Footnote: 1 James
1:17. (Malachi 3:7) “From the days of your fathers you have
turned aside from my laws and did not guard them. Turn back to me, and I shall
turn back to you,” said יהוה of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what shall we turn back?’ (Malachi 3:8) “Would a man rob Elohim? Yet
you are robbing me! But you said, ‘In what have we robbed you?’ In the tithe and the
offering! (Malachi 3:9) “You have cursed me with a curse, for you are robbing me,
this nation, all of it!
The “STOREHOUSE” may be a congregation but it is definitely those who spiritually
feed you, wherever you are being fed PLUS WIDOWS, ORPHANS and STRANGERS IN THE
LAND!
Please know we likely we are still held accountable to Him
for His tithe and offerings! Remember who Yahweh commands the tithe for- (James 1:27) Clean (Pure) and
undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in
their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained (Un-spotted from
sin) from the world. (Exodus 22:22) “Do not afflict any widow or fatherless
child (orphan). (Deuteronomy 10:17) “For יהוה your Elohim is Elohim of mighty ones and Master of
masters, the great Ěl, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a
bribe. (Deuteronomy
10:18) “He
executes right-ruling for the fatherless (orphans) and
the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him
food and a garment. (Deuteronomy 24:19) “When you reap your harvest in your field, and have
forgotten a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. Let it be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the widow, so
that יהוה your Elohim might bless you in all
the work of your hands.
(Deuteronomy 26:12)
“When you have completed
tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Lĕwite (Sold out to Yah and has no
love for possessions), to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and have
been satisfied, (Deuteronomy 26:13) then you shall say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘I have put away the
set-apart portion from my house, and also have given it to the
Lĕwite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according
to all your command which You have commanded me. I have not transgressed your
commands, nor have I forgotten. (Deuteronomy 26:14) ‘I
have not eaten any of it when in neither mourning, nor have I removed any of it
for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice
of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to
all that you have commanded me. (Deuteronomy 26:15) ‘Look
from your set-apart dwelling place, from the heavens, and bless your people
Yisra’ĕl and the land which You have given us, as you swore to our fathers, “a
land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ (Deuteronomy 26:16) “Todayיהוה your Elohim is commanding you to do
these laws and right-rulings. And you shall guard and do them with all your
heart and with all your being. (Deuteronomy
26:17) “You have today
caused יהוה to
proclaim to be your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and His
commands, and His right-rulings, and to obey His voice. (Deuteronomy 26:18) “And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a
treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His
commands, (Deuteronomy 26:19) so
as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a
praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people
to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
(Malachi 3:10) “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in my house. And
please prove me in this,” said יהוהof hosts, “whether I do not open for you the
windows of the heavens, and shall pour out for you boundless blessing! (Malachi 3:11) “And I shall rebuke the devourer for you, so
that it does not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor does the vine fail to
bear fruit for you in the field,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:12) “And all nations shall call you blessed,
for you shall be a land of delight,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 3:13) “Your words have been harsh against me,”
said יהוה, “but
you have said, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ (Malachi 3:14) “You have said, ‘It is worthless to serve Elohim. And what
did we gain when we guarded His Charge, and when we walked as mourners
before יהוה of
hosts? (Malachi 3:15) ‘And now we are calling the proud blessed
– not only are the doers of wrongness built up, but they also try Elohim and
escape.’” (Malachi 3:16) Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה listen and hear, and a book of
remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. (Malachi 3:17) “And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured
possession. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him. (Malachi 3:18) “Then you shall again see the difference
between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who
does not serve Him. (Malachi 4:1) “For look, the day shall come, burning
like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And
the day that shall come shall burn them up;” said יהוה of hosts, “which leaves to them neither root nor
branch. (Malachi 4:2) “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of
Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and
leap for joy like calves from the stall. (Malachi 4:3) “And you shall trample
the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day
that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts. (Malachi 4:4 “Remember the Torah of
Mosheh, my servant, which I commanded him in Ḥorĕḇ for all Yisra’ĕl – laws and
right-rulings. (Malachi 4:5) “See, I am sending you Ěliyah 1 the prophet before the coming of the great
and awesome day of יהוה. Footnote:1 Luke

fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest
I come and smite the earth with utter destruction 1.” Footnote: 1 Zechariah

What or WHO we obey is our master.
(Romans 6:8) And if we died
with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him, (Romans 6:9) knowing that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies
no more – death no longer rules over Him. (Romans 6:10) For in that He
died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to
Elohim. (Romans 6:11) So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead
indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master. (Romans 6:12) Therefore do not
let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires, (Romans 6:13) neither present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim. (Romans 6:14) For sin shall not rule over you, for you are not under the
law but under favor. (Romans
6:15) What then? Shall
we sin because we are not under Torah but under favor? Let it not be! (Romans 6:16) Do you not know that
to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom
you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? (Romans 6:17) But thanks to
Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form
of teaching to which you were entrusted. (Romans 6:18) And having been set
free from sin, you became servants of righteousness. (Romans 6:19) I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even
as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness
resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of
righteousness resulting in set-apartness. (Romans 6:20) For when you were servants
of sin, you were free from righteousness. (Romans 6:21) What fruit,
therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end
thereof is death. (Romans 6:22) But now, having been set free from sin,
and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in
set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life. (Romans 6:23) The wages of sin is death, but the favorable gift of Elohim is
everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
(2 Samuel 4:1) And
the son of Sha’ul heard that Aḇnĕr had died in Ḥeḇron, and he lost heart, and
all Yisra’ĕl was troubled. (2 Samuel 4:2) And
the son of Sha’ul had two men, commanders of bands, and the name of one was
Baʽanah and the name of the other Rĕḵaḇ, sons of Rimmon the be’ĕrothite, of the
children of Binyamin. For be’ĕroth was also reckoned to Binyamin, (2 Samuel 4:3) because the Be’ĕrothites fled to Gittayim and have been
sojourners there until this day. (2 Samuel 4:4) Now
Yehonathan, son of Sha’ul, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five
years old when the news about Sha’ul and Yehonathan came from Yizreʽĕl, and his
nurse took him up and fled. And it came to be, as she hurried to flee, that he
fell and became lame. And his name was Mephiḇosheth. (2 Samuel 4:5) So the sons of Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite, Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah,
went and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was
lying on his bed at noon. (2
Samuel 4:6) And they came into
the midst of the house, to fetch wheat, and they struck him in the stomach, and
Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his brother escaped. (2 Samuel 4:7) Thus
they came into the house when he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they
smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him. And they took his head, and went the
way of the desert plain all night, (2 Samuel 4:8) and
brought the head of Ishbosheth to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron, and said to the sovereign,
“See, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Sha’ul your enemy, who sought your
life. So יהוה has
given my master the sovereign vengeance on Sha’ul and his seed this day.” (2 Samuel 4:9) And Dawiḏ answered Rĕḵaḇ and Baʽanah his brother, sons of
Rimmon the Be’ĕrothite, and said to them, “As יהוה lives, who has redeemed my life out of all distress, (2 Samuel 4:10) when someone reported to me, saying, ‘See, Sha’ul is dead,’
and he was a bearer of good news in his own eyes, I then took hold of him and
slew him in Tsiqlaḡ, which was the reward I gave him for his news. (2 Samuel 4:11) “How much more, when wrong men have slain a righteous man in
his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood at your hand and
remove you from the earth?” (2 Samuel 4:12) And
Dawiḏ commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and
feet, and hanged them by the pool in Ḥeḇron. And they took the head of
Ishbosheth and buried it in the tomb of Aḇnĕr in Ḥeḇron.
David becomes Shepherd (King) of
Israel
(2 Samuel 5:1) And
all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl came to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron and spoke, saying, “Look,
we are your bone and your flesh. (2 Samuel 5:2) “Formerly,
when Sha’ul was sovereign over us, you were the one who led Yisra’ĕl out and
brought them in. And יהוה said to you, ‘Shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl, and be ruler over Yisra’ĕl.’” (2 Samuel 5:3) and all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came to the sovereign at
Ḥeḇron, and Sovereign Dawiḏ made a covenant with them at Ḥeḇron before יהוה. And they anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over
Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:4) Dawiḏ was thirty years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned forty years. (2 Samuel 5:5)
In Ḥeḇron he reigned over Yehuḏah seven years and six months, and in
Yerushalayim he reigned thirty-three years over all Yisra’ĕl and Yehuḏah. (2 Samuel 5:6) And the sovereign and his men went to Yerushalayim against
the Yeḇusites, the inhabitants of the land. And they spoke to Dawiḏ, saying,
“Except you take away the blind and the lame, you are not going to come in
here,” thinking, “Dawiḏ is not going to come in here.” (2 Samuel 5:7) But Dawiḏ captured the stronghold of Tsiyon, the City of
Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:8) And Dawiḏ said on that day, “Anyone who
smites the Yeḇusites, let him go by the water-shaft and take the
lame and the blind, which are hated by Dawiḏ’s being.” That is why they say,
“The blind and the lame do not come into the house.” (2 Samuel 5:9) And Dawiḏ dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the City of
Dawiḏ. And Dawiḏ built all around from the Millo and inward. (2 Samuel 5:10) And Dawiḏ went on and became great, and יהוה Elohim of hosts was with him. (2 Samuel 5:11) Now Ḥiram sovereign of Tsor sent messengers to Dawiḏ, and
cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built a house for Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:12) And Dawiḏ knew that יהוה had established him as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and that
He had exalted His reign, because of His people Yisra’ĕl. (2 Samuel 5:13) And Dawiḏ took more concubines and wives from Yerushalayim,
after he had come from Ḥeḇron, and more sons and daughters were born to Dawiḏ. (2 Samuel 5:14) And these were the names of those born to him in
Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shoḇaḇ, and Nathan, and Shelomoh, (2 Samuel 5:15) and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and Nepheḡ, and Yaphiya, (2 Samuel 5:16) and Elishama, and Elyaḏa, and Eliphelet. (2 Samuel 5:17) And the Philistines heard that they had anointed Dawiḏ
sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and all the Philistines went up to search for Dawiḏ,
but Dawiḏ heard and went down to the stronghold. (2 Samuel 5:18) And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the
Valley of Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:19) And Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, saying, “Do I go up against the
Philistines? Do you give them into my hand?” And יהוה said to Dawiḏ, “Go up, for I shall certainly give the
Philistines into your hand.” (2 Samuel 5:20) And
Dawiḏ came to Baʽal Peratsim, and Dawiḏ smote them there. And he said, “יהוה has broken through my enemies before
me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he called the name of that place Baʽal
Peratsim.
Restoring the Ark of the Covenant (The Presence of Yah)
Hearing and Obeying (Faith) The Battle is Yahweh’s (God)
(2 Samuel 5:21) And
they left their images there, and Dawiḏ and his men took them away. (2 Samuel 5:22) And the Philistines again came up and were spread out in the
Valley of Repha’im. (2 Samuel 5:23) And when Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, He said, “Do not go up, turn around
behind them, and you shall come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. (2 Samuel 5:24) “And it shall be, when you hear the sound of stepping in the tops
of the mulberry trees, and then act promptly, for then יהוה shall go out before you to smite the
camp of the Philistines.” (2
Samuel 5:25) And Dawiḏ did so,
as יהוה commanded him, and smote the Philistines from
Geḇa as far as Gezer. (2 Samuel 6:1) Now Dawiḏ again gathered all the chosen
men of Yisra’ĕl, thirty thousand. (2 Samuel 6:2) And
Dawiḏ rose up and went with all the people who were with him from Baʽalĕ
Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim, that is called by the Name,
the Name יהוה of
Hosts, who dwells between the keruḇim. (2 Samuel 6:3) And
they placed the ark of Elohim on a new wagon, and brought it from the house of
Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Aḥyo, sons of Aḇinaḏaḇ, were
leading the new wagon. (2
Samuel 6:4) And they brought
it from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, which was on the hill, with the ark of Elohim.
And Aḥyo was walking before the ark. (2 Samuel 6:5) And
Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl were dancing before יהוה, with all instruments of fir
wood, and with lyres, and with harps, and with tambourines, and with sistrums,
and with cymbals. (2 Samuel 6:6) And when they came to the threshing-floor
of Naḵon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for
the oxen stumbled. (2 Samuel 6:7) And the wrath of יהוה burned against Uzzah, and Elohim
smote him there for the fault. And he died there by the ark of Elohim. (2 Samuel 6:8) And Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had broken out against Uzzah. And he called the name of
the place Perets Uzzah, until this day.
Disobedience (Touching the Ark) brings separation from His presence- where the
presence of Yahuah is- there is blessing!
(2 Samuel 6:9) And
Dawiḏ was afraid of יהוה on that day, and said, “How shall the ark of יהוה come to me?” (2 Samuel 6:10) And Dawiḏ would not move the ark of יהוה with him into the City of Dawiḏ, but
Dawiḏ turned it aside to the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite. (2 Samuel 6:11) And the ark of יהוה remained in the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite three
months, and יהוה blessed Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and his entire house. (2 Samuel 6:12) And it was reported to Sovereign Dawiḏ, saying, “יהוה has blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom
and all that he has, because of the ark of Elohim.” Dawiḏ then went and brought
up the ark of Elohim from the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom to the City of Dawiḏ with
rejoicing. (2 Samuel 6:13) And it came to be, when those bearing the
ark of יהוה had
gone six steps, that he slaughtered bulls and fattened sheep. (2 Samuel 6:14) And Dawiḏ danced before יהוה with all his might. And Dawiḏ was wearing a linen shoulder
garment. (2 Samuel 6:15) Thus Dawiḏ and all the house of Yisra’ĕl
brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting and with the sound of the ram’s horn. (2 Samuel 6:16) And it came to be, when the ark of יהוה came into the City of Dawiḏ, that
Miḵal, daughter of Sha’ul, looked through a window and saw Sovereign Dawiḏ
leaping and dancing before יהוה, and she despised him in her heart. (2 Samuel 6:17) So they brought the ark of יהוה in, and set it in its place in the midst of the Tent that
Dawiḏ had pitched for it. And Dawiḏ brought burnt offerings before יהוה, and peace offerings. (2 Samuel 6:18) And when Dawiḏ had finished bringing burnt offerings and
peace offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of יהוה of hosts. (2 Samuel 6:19) And he apportioned to all the people, to all the crowd of
Yisra’ĕl, from man even to women, to each one a loaf of bread, and a measure,
and a cake of raisins. And all the people left, each one to his house. (2 Samuel 6:20) And Dawiḏ returned to bless his household, and Miḵal the
daughter of Sha’ul came out to meet Dawiḏ, and said, “How esteemed was the
sovereign of Yisra’ĕl today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the female
servants of his servants, as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers
himself!” (2 Samuel 6:21) So Dawiḏ said to Miḵal, “Beforeיהוה, who chose me instead of your father and
his entire house, to appoint me ruler over the people of יהוה, over Yisra’ĕl, so I danced before יהוה. (2 Samuel 6:22) “And
I shall be even slighter than this, and shall be humble in my own eyes. But as
for the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I am esteemed.” (2 Samuel 6:23) And Miḵal the daughter
of Sha’ul had no children to the day of her death.
My prayer for you loved one is simple yet will result in
profound intimacy when you act upon it with all diligence. I pray that you seek
intimacy (through
repentance individually and for your country) with YAHWEH (Elohim- God) through the Set Apart Spirit- the Ruach
HaKodesh, that you may know Him, hear and obey Him and gain His shalom by being
in His presence. Hint:
Worship is a surefire way of getting into His presence
because He inhabits the praises of His people- while demons and distractions
FLEE! Nothing will satisfy you more than intimately knowing Him not just
knowing about Him. (Isaiah
58:1) “Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up
your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to my people their transgression and the
house of Yaʽaqoḇ their sins. (Isaiah 58:2) “Yet they seek me
day by day, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness,
and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Elohim. They ask of me rulings of
righteousness; they delight in drawing near to Elohim. Here’s our answer for your diligence in seeking His
presence loved one; (Jeremiah 29:11) ‘For I know the plans I am planning for
you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give
you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12) ‘Then you shall call on me, and shall
come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And you shall seek me,
and shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart1. Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy
4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah
29:14) ‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה, ‘and I shall
turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the gentiles and from
all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall
bring you back to the place from which I have exiled you.’
Loved One- we are commanded by Yahshua (Jesus, Yeshua):
(John 20:21) Then יהושע said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent
me, I also send you.” (John
20:22) And having said this, He breathed on them, and
said to them, “Receive the Set-apart Spirit.
(Amos 5:6) “Seek יהוה and live, lest He break out like fire upon the house
of Yosĕph, and shall consume it, with no one to quench it in Bĕyth Ěl. (John 14:26) “But the Helper, the
Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall
teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you. (Act 1:8) “But you shall receive power when
the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in
Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the
earth.” (Act
10:44) While Kĕpha was still
speaking these words, the Set-apart
Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. (Act 10:45) And those of the
circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Kĕpha, because
the gift of the Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also, (Act 10:46) for they were hearing them speaking with
tongues and extolling Elohim. (Act 13:52) And the taught ones were filled with joy and
the Set-apart Spirit. (Jude
1:20) But you, beloved ones,
building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief (faith), praying in the Set-apart
Spirit, (Jude
1:20) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim,
looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah

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.
