Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this study! (This study is attached for printing/reading and available at the website below)
Funny thing happened last week as you all read the date: January 5, 2013! I hope you really enjoy the extremely timely message this week! You will soon see why!
Often, heck nearly always, I will take the scripture portion for that particular week’s Torah Cycle portion, and redo all of my comments above that as led by Yahweh. However I always remove the date of whatever date I can find the scriptures from the Torah Cycle study- this last week I missed it—been in a fire storm—so I did not see it until my friend Scott emailed me as he posted it on this Shabbat Shalom site. I could not help but laugh- be assured the study is always fresh as I am led by the Ruach HaKodesh each week- however, I try and use the portion of scripture for each week so I don’t have to correct it and put in form with paragraphs etc. Scott mentioned and all I could do is smile- as it was most of my humor last week! Smiles! Okay after a quick review I believe you will thoroughly enjoy this week’s study- at least I hope so!
We all need to be sober and alert because we are living in the end times and as expected, wickedness abounds. You and I must awaken and do your own studies to arrive to TRUTH so we seek Yahweh NOW while He may be found. Someday darkness will cover the land and gross darkness the people- we must become lights- and even brighter as the darkness gets darker. Listen truth searchers- we know we are the dry bones coming alive. We also know we are the LOST SHEEP Yahshua said He came for, as we were scattered all over the earth for our rebellion against His Torah- Instructions. Our greatest deliverance- which is greater than the exodus from Egypt is ahead of us. He needs to find us repentant from the sins we were scattered to all the countries for. We need to become His FRIENDS, that we may hear directly, be anxious for nothing, follow what He says to us- and DO IT. Here’s why when we have something revealed by Him we must hear, repent and follow Him: (Please note the real exodus is coming- not the shadow picture of the red sea)
Jeremiah 16:14 "Therefore behold, the days are coming," says Yahweh, "that it shall no more be said, Yahweh lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,' Jeremiah 16:15 but, Yahweh lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.' For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. Jeremiah 16:16 "Behold, I will send for many fishermen," says Yahweh, "and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. Jeremiah 16:17 For My eyes areon all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity hidden from my eyes. Jeremiah 16:18and first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled my land; they have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols." Jeremiah 16:19 O Yahweh, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things." Jeremiah 16:20Will a man make gods for himself, which are not gods? Jeremiah 16:21 “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name isYahweh.
I want us to become intimate friends of Yahweh (In addition to being sons and daughters) also loved ones- but to do that we must continually be truth seekers and repentant. We know from the scripture above that we HAVE inherited lies- so we should be sober and alert and become TRUTH SEARCHERS and those who will HEAR AND OBEY Him. Jeremiah told us above, that we have inherited lies- those of us living in the latter days. He shows us above; that our deliverance would overshadow even the deliverance of escaping Egypt.
How do we become “friends” with Yahweh (God) and hear and do what He says? How did Abraham know Yahweh and follow Him? He was seeking; he wanted to know if there was actually a Creator and “real God” amongst all his earthly father’s pagan man-made idols. He asked and Yahweh answered. It is within us to ASK and SEEK HIM. He obviously became a “friend” of Yahweh as we see in the scripture below that Yahweh would not destroy Sodom without sharing why and counseling with Abraham.
Genesis 18:17 and יהוה said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, Genesis 18:18 since Abraham is certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Let’s consider for a moment; how did Noah know what was clean and unclean “food” or animals to load in the Ark prior to Moses receiving the Torah- Instructions from our Heavenly Father? He did his best to DO the instructions/commands from Yahweh he had been passed down from His father and his grandfather- Enoch. And of course- he listened and heard from Yahweh- as He is no respecter of persons- that means you and I can too.
Finally, let’s look at how Peter (Kepha) knew Yahshua (Jesus) was the coming Messiah? Further, I consider the question to each of us- who do YOU say He is?
Matthew 16:13 When Yahshua (Jesus) came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" Matthew 16:14 so they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Matthew 16:15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Messiah, the Son of Yahweh; the living Elohim." Matthew 16:17 Yahshua (Jesus) answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Body (Assembly), and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
My hope is that we can all see from above that spending time and getting to KNOW Messiah Yahshua and our Heavenly Father due to Yahshua’s sacrifice and our repentance from sins and inherited lies; we WILL also have our Father reveal hidden things and be blessed like Peter was!
The prophets and the ancients sought Him and heard. He changes not, so relationship as sons and daughters and yes FRIENDS of Yahshua and Yahweh is achievable- and even more important- this is what He paid for. He told Jeremiah that He is watching over His Word to perform it- we must conform to His image; His Word. As we seek Him, we will become fuller of Him for He is LIGHT and we too, are to become the LIGHT of this world. Just remember as you search the scriptures, you will gain in relationship to the KNOWING of Him and intimacy IF we seek Him with all our hearts. That ends our review from last week so brace yourself!
Consider carefully your next action from the testimony below; taking every thought captive to obedience to Messiah and FEAR NOT! Our King can protect you wherever you are- even in a fiery furnace IF you have asked Him where you are to be and obeyed what He said- which alone would give you permission to not “Come out of her or partake in her plagues” Otherwise you can expect to partake of her plagues; but remember Mystery Babylon is drunk on the blood of the believers, including yours and mine if we disobey this warning. FEAR NOT. Perfect Love casts out fear, Only Believe.
Many of you may remember my testimony concerning where we in the USA are living. In late 1997 or early 1998, I asked our Heavenly Father, “If all these “end times” preachers are correct why isn’t America (USA was my specific thought but not my word in my question) in the scriptures?” He replied, “You are in the scriptures- go get your Bible and I will show you.” Surprised, I ran toward my house (I was outside) and got my Bible and sat down in my comfortable chair anticipating with prideful glee and a smile on my face- the great USA is in the Bible (I was quite proud) and I’m going to receive inside information as to where! Opening my Bible I asked again, “where?” He replied, “Turn to Revelation 17:1 and start reading, son and you will see America as I see her, but you may not like her name.” I was still excited with joyful expectation; “we’re in the Bible!” Joyful at least until I got to verses 5 and 6- so share my anticipation with me as I read: (Revelation 17:1) And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great whore sitting on many waters; 1 (Footnote: 1 See v. 15.) (Revelation 17:2) with whom the sovereigns of the earth committed whoring, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her whoring.” (Revelation 17:3) And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast covered with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:4) And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations and the filthiness of her whoring,1 Footnote: 1Jer. 51:7. (Revelation 17:5) and upon her forehead a name written, a secret: BAḆEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:6) And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of יהושע. And having seen her, I marveled – greatly marveled!
As the thought came Mystery Babylon- the Great Whore? I quickly replied, “No Lord- that’s IRAQ!” “That’s Iraq!” He replied, “It was Iraq, now it’s you.” My understanding was overwhelmed, and my thoughts kept racing- “I’ve heard from many great teachers and they told me it’s Iraq!” He replied, “You are the wealthiest country in the world and you do much wickedness.” I thought we did “good” around the world and were the most benevolent and giving aid country; and that is partly correct. I was still pondering these thoughts several years later while by myself camped out on the Galilee in Israel for 11 days reading the gospels. Someone had given me a book to witness to unbelievers while in Israel, saying to me, “The Lord told me to buy this and give it to you as he has someone you are to give it to.” I replied, “I don’t know anyone here but – whatever.”
On the 10th day of my tent camp out between Bethsaida and the Jordan River (At the top of the Galilee) I heard from Him. He said, “fast tomorrow I want you to take the book “They thought for Themselves” (The witness book written by Sid Roth a messianic Jew I had been given which spoke of Jews who had accepted Yahshua-Jesus as Messiah) to the man (I considered a rabid rabbi) who heads up the Kabala college in Safed.” I replied, “No Lord I don’t want to do that.” He replied, “But you will.” I said again, “But I don’t want to.” He replied with finality, “But you will.” Thinking for a moment before I replied to His end of discussion answer I said; “Okay Lord, I will do it, but I want something from you. You told me several years ago that America is Mystery Babylon the whore; and IF that is true, (I still had not determined it was true) I want to know where a safe place is in America to get my family and “ride this out” (The Great Tribulation). I was imagining remote Montana or Wyoming or perhaps even the mountains of Colorado. What I heard next I spoke to no one for over 1 ½ years- I just could not believe it myself. Here’s His reply and sorry, you don’t have years to consider its validity as you may have only weeks or months to both decide and act: “Son there will be nothing left of America, in one hour her destruction will come and the sea captains will marvel at the smoke of her burning.”
These thoughts were downloaded me next: It’s a place or country- not a city like most translations say; they are anxious because there is no market left; if it were a city- they would just transfer their market to a different city, but that’s obviously not an option. Nothing left- only a place for every unclean bird (demonic spirits). Please pray about and ask for yourself concerning these matters as we can be protected anywhere we are told to be. You cannot be directed by someone else having a revelation or understanding, you must seek confirmation for yourself as you and I are both required to rightly divide the word and a matter is not truth without 2 or 3 witnesses confirming. May be close to time to fast and pray and rid ourselves of all unbelief- that we may hear clearly and obey what He shows us personally. Please don’t assume anything, but seek Him while He may be found and obey Him! He alone will be our Deliverer and refuge!
In your consideration of these times and this testimony; remember we are a 3 part being. We are a spirit being made in YHWH’s image; we have a soul (Mind, will, intellect, emotion); and physical- we live in a body- so we are spirit, soul, and body. My belief is that we likely must “Come out of her” (Babylon the whore) in all three areas: spiritually or the whore church or religious system because it is about relationship not religion or duty; soul or culture that is demonic or worldly; and physically – like places or country or even countries. Consider carefully for yourself and your loved ones.
Now- why am I talking about Mystery Babylon? Because in my opinion the vast wealth that Yahweh put in the area that was known as BABYLON, known today as IRAQ is astonishing! Halliburton is purported to do estimates of analysis of wealth in minerals in a 10 acre random plot and discovered so many different minerals the estimate in that 10 acres was reported at 20 trillion USD in value.
Why is that important and probably prophetic? Because of the story I was told above about Mystery Babylon being the USA. It seems that for Mystery Babylon to have the resources it needs to fulfill its destiny, they would need to overtake and totally control IRAQ (Ancient Babylon); which the USA has now done. This wealth allows Mystery Babylon to cancel its debt and allows the great wealth transfer to believers, which in my opinion is the whole point Yahweh has orchestrated.
WHY NOW? I believe this year 2017 is the year of Jubilee and a year of debt cancellation and freedom and provision.
The Jubilee Year and why is this foundation important for us to understand Deuteronomy 8:17-20 where Yahweh CONFIRMS HIS COVENANT with us and for us to go forth now and Do the Gospel in 2017.
ALL GLORY to Yahweh- who is the real Mastermind IMO of this real year of Biblical Jubilee. Again, that is IMO. Many years ago; (2010) I was asking the Lord when is the “real” Jubilee- He spoke "2017" which was not the Jewish Jubilee. I said how can that be- that does not fit any historical Jubilee I can prove up in the Bible chronology that I am aware of?
He spoke again, "Look it up!" I thought- there is no way I can "look it up". He spoke again, "start at 2017 and go back 50 years- look it up!" I replied, "Lord, I don't see how that is possible- I don't trust the records as I think they are manipulated through the years." He again spoke- "Look it UP!" I said okay Lord- but you said nothing is established except by 2 or 3 witnesses- and I want 3 witnesses- and if we go back 150 years I know there are NO records! He said again- "Look it up." Okay I said, quite confident- there's no way you can prove this to me.

So I did Yahoo search--and to my surprise, 1967 was the war that Israel recaptured Jerusalem. I thought what a coincidence...so I quickly put in 1917 Jerusalem and yes you know… that was the year that General Edmund Allenby retook Palestine from the Turks and the Ottoman Empire. I thought- well I know there are no records for 1867. Once again, I heard the familiar response- “Look it up”.
There are 2 records that surprised me- and yes they spoke to me because I had ministered about what the 10 Northern Tribes (The lost 10 Northern tribes referred to by Yahshua (Jesus) as the Lost Sheep of Israel) were told in Ezekiel- that for their continued rebellion and practicing pagan holidays they would be scattered for 390 years and the Torah further reports that if they do not repent during the punishment decreed- it would be multiplied by 7 which would equal 2730 years---which dated from 722-734 BC when the commander be anytime now or from estimate of 2010-2020 IMO.
Even though King Hoshea quickly surrendered rather than face the Assyrian onslaught, Shalmaneser continued forward until in 722 B.C. Samaria fell. The Assyrians, fearing more revolts, began major population relocations during the reign of King Sargon II. Most of the inhabitants in northern Israel were moved to the farthest reaches of the empire, and the land was repopulated with foreigners who would remain subject to the Assyrians. In the aftermath of these battles, the once proud nation that the Lord had chosen and redeemed from Egypt was reduced to a mere fraction of its former boundaries within the Promised Land.
Why do I share this? Because the scripture declares the land would be left DESOLATE- and in 1867 when Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) visited Jerusalem- he quoted; “this cannot be the home of our Lord- this land is DESOLATE” the very words of the prophet Ezekiel. In addition, I found where the British expeditionary forces Under Captain Charles Warren surveyed (measured) Jerusalem…for the first time ever in 1867.
Okay why all the above? Because like many believers worldwide- we have been tested in great fire and trials, economically especially to answer His question- can we be trusted to do His Gospel with His wealth transfer for Jubilee.
Okay why all the above? Because like many believers worldwide- we have been tested in great fire and trials, economically especially to answer His question- can we be trusted to do His Gospel with His wealth transfer for Jubilee.
WHY NOW IN 2017? You can readily see the possibility or probability that these are the latter days as this comes forth now. The Iraqi dinar and other currencies will now be revalued based on wealth or assets in any given country based on the G-20 agreement and formula. Now the world will be asset backed- likened to gold backed many years ago.
Yahweh is on the throne and He knows the end from the beginning, and I believe He will have a great HARVEST of souls and it will be financed by Him! Loved Ones, just maybe we should make ourselves ready for Deuteronomy 8:17-20! My prayer and educated expectation is that He will NOW ESTABLISH His covenant with His people! Please consider the wealth transfer we often heard was coming- but none of us really ever saw or conceived the purpose and magnitude He has planned that we may GET READY to go forth and Do the Gospel! He alone gives us the power to get wealth and for His purpose…in order to ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT! Upon receiving this wealth transfer we must stay focused and remember the main thing is the main thing- bring souls out of darkness into His marvelous light! Or we too will perish- guaranteed!
Deuteronomy 8:17 you then shall say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand have made for me this wealth!’ Deuteronomy 8:18 “But you shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:19 “And it shall be, if you by any means forget יהוה your Elohim, and follow other mighty ones, and serve them and bow yourself to them, I have warned you this day that you shall certainly perish. Deuteronomy 8:20 “Like the nations which יהוה is destroying before you, so you are to perish, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim.
Loved Ones- we must GROW UP SPIRITUALLY to be useful to the Kingdom-especially now as darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people- we will become LIGHT! We must awaken from our slumber and realize-those that want to serve Yahweh and produce fruit for His Kingdom which pleases the Father. Those that hear will be financed is they are paying attention and listening to Him.
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:2 “For look, darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. Isaiah 60:3 “And the nations shall come to your light, a and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: a Isaiah_60:19-20, Revelation_21:23-24.
(Luke 21:8) And He said, “See that you are not led astray, (deceived/deluded) for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Then do not go after them. (Luke 21:9) “But when you hear of fighting and unrests do not be alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.” (Luke 21:10) Then He said to them, “Nation (race-ethnos) shall rise against nation (race-ethnos), and reign against reign. (Luke 21:11) “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food (famine) and deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:12) “But before all this, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake. (Luke 21:13) “And it shall turn out to you for a witness. (Luke 21:14) “Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. (Luke 21:15) “I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist. (Luke 21:16) “And you shall also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you shall be put to death. (Luke 21:17) “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name.
Ever wonder what resolve in your hearts means for you and me? I believe we need to think these matters through for ourselves right now and resolve our response of trust in Him beforehand; sorting through His precious promises and draw ever near to our coming King. We must FEAR NOT- even unto death! Let’s be used as worthy vessels of honor by our choice to trust Him even unto death. Hey, this is only a minuscule portion of our existence as we will be back on the earth to finish our Shabbat or 7th day (Millennium) of this earth; (Remember a day with YHWH is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as a day; Day 1 Adam, Day 2 Noah, Day 3 Abraham, Day 4 Yahshua, Day 5- 1-1000 A.D. or Common Era, Day 6- 1001-2000 A.D. thereabout and Day 7- Very Soon) prior to us receiving a new earth and a new heaven, where we will live with YHWH forever assuming we don’t become part of the deceived and deluded fallen away or “rebellious stand” as my friend Michael Rood says is a more correct translation.
Once again I want to encourage you Loved One- no matter what evil the enemy has up His sleeve; if we are willing and obedient- giving thanks in all things, our Master and King will use us mightily to produce fruit that remains- even beyond us! We must focus our attention on Him and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. He has destroyed the works of hell and therefore we can overcome the plans of hell, the giants and overwhelming obstacles and still walk in victory.
(Luke 21:17) “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. (Luke 21:18) “But not a hair of your head shall be lost at all. (Luke 21:19) “Possess your lives by your endurance! (Luke 21:20) “And when you see Yerushalayim surrounded by armies, and then know that it’s lying waste is near. (Luke 21:21) “Then let those in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of her go out, and let not those who are in the fields enter her. (This is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war): (Zechariah 14:2) and I shall gather all the gentiles to battle againstYerushalayim1. And the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Footnote: 1Joel 3:2, Zephaniah 3:8, Revelation. 16:14. (Zechariah 14:3) And יהוה shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of battle.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 let no one deceive you in any way, because the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness1is to be revealed, the son of destruction, Footnote: 1Some texts read sin instead of lawlessness. This man might be the same one we read of in the prophecy in Isaiah 14:12 – Hĕlĕl (“Heileil”), meaning “the shining one,” the sovereign of Baḇel. (Comment: consider the “King” of Babel could be equivalent to the leader of the U.S.) 2
Thessalonians 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim or that is worshiped, so that he sits as Elohim in the Dwelling Place of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim. 2 Thessalonians 2:5 do you not remember that I told you this while I was still with you? 2 Thessalonians 2:6 and now you know what restrains, for him to be revealed in his time. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 for the secret of lawlessness is already at work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and for this reason Elohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, 1 Footnote: 1Eze. 20:25, John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Rom. 1:24-28. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness. Why are these times so perilous? Because there is a return of the wickedness as in the Days of Noah; which Yahshua promised would return prior to His arrival as Judge and King- this wickedness is all around us- government, culture, lack of morals, etc. This means that the great delusion promised is at the door: 2 Thessalonians 2:9 the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and for this reason Elohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, 1 Footnote: 1 Eze. 20:25, John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Rom. 1:24-28. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.
(Matthew 7:12) “Therefore, whatever you wish men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Torah and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:13) “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. (Matthew 7:14) “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed1 which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Footnote: 1 Or the way is afflicted.
WATCH and PRAY or be lead astray!
(Mark 13:28) “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. (Mark 13:29) “So you also, when you see this taking place, know that it is near, at the door. (Mark 13:30) “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all this takes place. (Mark 13:31) “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Comment: Which generation shall not pass? The one who sees these things) (Mark 13:32) “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Mark 13:33) “Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is – (Mark 13:34) as a man going abroad, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. (Mark 13:35) “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning, (Mark 13:36) lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping. (Mark 13:37)“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
One more caution reminder concerning the Great Delusion ahead. Some of us have believed that going forward once in a prayer line and “accepting Jesus” is our ticket into eternity. Not likely- we are expected to grow up and walk by belief and faith or else why would Yahshua (Jesus) say we are required to OVERCOME: (Revelation 3:2) “Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete before Elohim. (Revelation 3:3) “Remember, then, how you have received, and heard. And watch and repent. If, then, you do not wake up, I shall come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at all what hour I come upon you. (Revelation 3:4) Nevertheless, you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. (Revelation 3:5) “He who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes, and I shall by no means blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I shall confess his name before My Father and before His messengers (Angels).
Further we are required to overcome by the blood of the Lamb AND the word of our testimonies. (What we speak and DO!) Further we are required to ENDURE TO THE END!
(Mark 13:12) “And brother shall deliver up brother to death and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death. (Mark 13:13) “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. But he who shall have endured to the end, he shall be saved.1 Footnote: 1 Mt. 10:22, Mt. 24:13. (Mark 13:14) “And when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’1 spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up where it should not be” – he who reads, let him understand – “then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains.

Loved One- He is our MIGHTY DELIVERER!
(Numbers 33:1) These are the departures of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who went out of the land of Mitsrayim by their divisions under the hand of Mosheh and Aharon. (Numbers 33:2) And Mosheh wrote down the starting points of their departures at the command of יהוה, and these are their departures according to their starting points: (Numbers 33:3) So they departed from Raʽmeses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow of the Passover the children of Yisra’ĕl went out with boldness before the eyes of all the Mitsrites, (Numbers 33:4) and the Mitsrites were burying all their first-born, whom יהוה had smitten among them. Also on their mighty ones יהוה had executed judgments. (Numbers 33:5) Then the children of Yisra’ĕl departed from Raʽmeses and camped at Sukkoth.(Numbers 33:6) And they departed from Sukkoth and camped at Ětham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.(Numbers 33:7) And they departed from Ětham and turned back to Pi Haḥiroth, which is east of Baʽal Tsephon. And they camped near Miḡdol. (Numbers 33:8) and they departed from before Haḥiroth and passed over through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Ětham, and camped at Marah. (Numbers 33:9) And they departed from Marah and came to Ělim. And at Ělim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there. (Numbers 33:10) And they departed from Ělim and camped by the Sea of Reeds.(Numbers 33:11) And they departed from the Sea of Reeds and camped in the Wilderness of Sin. (Numbers 33:12) And they departed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophqah. (Numbers 33:13) And they departed from Dophqah and camped at Alush.

(Numbers 33:20) And they departed from Rimmon Perets and camped at Liḇnah.(Numbers 33:21) And they departed from Liḇnah and camped at Rissah. (Numbers 33:22) And they departed from Rissah and camped at Qehĕlathah. (Numbers 33:23) And they departed from Qehĕlathah and camped at Mount Shapher. (Numbers 33:24) And they departed from Mount Shapher and camped at Ḥaraḏah. (Numbers 33:25) And they departed from Ḥaraḏah and camped at Maqhĕloth. (Numbers 33:26) And they departed from Maqhĕloth and camped at Taḥath. (Numbers 33:27) And they departed from Taḥath and camped at Teraḥ. (Numbers 33:28) And they departed from Teraḥ and camped at Mithqah. (Numbers 33:29) And they departed from Mithqah and camped at Ḥashmonah. (Numbers 33:30) And they departed from Ḥashmonah and camped at Mosĕroth. (Numbers 33:31) And they departed from Mosĕroth and camped at Benĕi Yaʽaqan. (Numbers 33:32) And they departed from Benĕi Yaʽaqan and camped at Ḥor Haggiḏgaḏ. (Numbers 33:33) And they departed from Ḥor Haggiḏgaḏ and camped at Yotḇathah.(Numbers 33:34) And they departed from Yotḇathah and camped at Aḇronah. (Numbers 33:35) And they departed from Aḇronah and camped at Etsyon Geḇer. (Numbers 33:36) And they departed from Etsyon Geḇer and camped in the Wilderness of Tsin, which is Qaḏĕsh. (Numbers 33:37) And they departed from Qaḏĕsh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Eḏom. (Numbers 33:38) Then Aharon the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of יהוה, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on the first day of the fifth month. (Numbers 33:39) Now Aharon was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor. (Numbers 33:40) And the sovereign of Araḏ, the Kenaʽanite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Kenaʽan, heard of the coming of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 33:41) So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Tsalmonah. (Numbers 33:42) And they departed from Tsalmonah and camped at Punon. (Numbers 33:43) And they departed from Punon and camped at Oḇoth. (Numbers 33:44) And they departed from Oḇoth and camped at Iyĕ Ha-Aḇarim, at the border of Mo’aḇ.

(Numbers 33:48) And they departed from the mountains of Aḇarim and camped in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.(Numbers 33:49) And they camped by the Yardĕn, from Bĕyth Yeshimoth as far as the Aḇĕl Shittim in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ. (Numbers 33:50) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying,(Numbers 33:51) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you have passed over the Yardĕn into the land of Kenaʽan, (Numbers 33:52) then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their engraved stones, and shall destroy all their molded images, and lay waste all their high places,(Numbers 33:53) and you shall possess the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. (Numbers 33:54) ‘And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your clans. To the larger you give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, which is his. You inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. (Numbers 33:55) ‘And if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. (Numbers 33:56) ‘And it shall be that I do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
Want to know our future borders? Exactly what He spoke!
(Numbers 34:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 34:2) “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Kenaʽan, this is the land which falls to you as an inheritance, the land of Kenaʽan to its boundaries: (Numbers 34:3) ‘Then your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Tsin along the border of Eḏom, and your southern border shall be eastward from the end of the Salt Sea. (Numbers 34:4) ‘Then your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Aqrabbim, continue to Tsin, and be on the south of Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, and it shall go on to Ḥatsar Addar, and continue to Atsmon. (Numbers 34:5) ‘And the border shall turn from Atsmon to the wadi of Mitsrayim, and it shall end at the Sea. (Numbers 34:6) ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this is your western border. (Numbers 34:7) ‘And this is your northern border: From the Great Sea you mark out your borderline to Mount Hor, (Numbers 34:8) from Mount Hor you mark out your border to the entrance of Ḥamath, and the edge of the border shall be toward Tseḏaḏ, (Numbers 34:9) and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Ḥatsar Ěnan. This is your northern border. (Numbers 34:10) ‘And you shall mark out your eastern border from Ḥatsar Ěnan to Shepham, (Numbers 34:11) and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riḇlah on the east side of Ayin, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth. (Numbers 34:12) ‘And the border shall go down along the Yardĕn, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This is your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ” (Numbers 34:13) And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the land which you inherit by lot, which יהוה has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. (Numbers 34:14) “For the tribe of the children of Re’uḇĕn according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gaḏ according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance. And the half-tribe of Menashsheh has received its inheritance. (Numbers 34:15) “The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo eastward, toward the sunrise.” (Numbers 34:16) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 34:17) “These are the names of the men who divide the land among you as an inheritance: Elʽazar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun. (Numbers 34:18) “And take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance. (Numbers 34:19) “And these are the names of the men. From the tribe of Yehuḏah: Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh. (Numbers 34:20) “And from the tribe of the children of Shimʽon: Shemu’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ. (Numbers 34:21) “From the tribe of Binyamin: Eliḏaḏ son of Kislon. (Numbers 34:22) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan: Buqqi son of Yoḡli. (Numbers 34:23) “From the sons of Yosĕph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Menashsheh, Ḥanni’ĕl son of Ěphoḏ. (Numbers 34:24) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephrayim: Qemu’ĕl son of Shiphtan. (Numbers 34:25) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Zeḇulun: Elitsaphan son of Parnaḵ. (Numbers 34:26) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Yissasḵar: Palti’ĕl son of Azzan. (Numbers 34:27) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ashĕr: Aḥihuḏ son of Shelomi. (Numbers 34:28) “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali: Peḏah’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.” (Numbers 34:29) These are the ones יהוהcommanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl in the land of Kenaʽan.
Levites’ inheritance is HIM! Note that the REFUGE is with them!
(Numbers 35:1) and יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying, (Numbers 35:2) “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl that they shall give the Lĕwites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possession. Also give the Lĕwites open land around the cities. (Numbers 35:3) “And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their open land for their cattle, and for their herds, and for all their livestock. (Numbers 35:4) “And the open lands of the cities which you give the Lĕwites are from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits all around.(Numbers 35:5) “And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. And the city is in the middle. This is to them the open land for the cities. (Numbers 35:6) “And the cities which you give to the Lĕwites are the six cities of refuge, which you give to him who killed someone to flee to, and to these you add forty-two cities. (Numbers 35:7) “All the cities which you give to the Lĕwites are forty-eight, these with their open land.(Numbers 35:8) “And the cities which you give are from the possession of the children of Yisra’ĕl. From the larger tribe you give many, from the smaller you give few, each one gives some of its cities to the Lĕwites; in proportion to the inheritance that each inherits.” (Numbers 35:9) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 35:10) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you pass over the Yardĕn into the land of Kenaʽan, (Numbers 35:11) then you shall choose cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the one who accidentally killed someone shall flee there.(Numbers 35:12) ‘And they shall be cities of refuge for you from the revenger, and the one who killed someone is not to die until he stands before the congregation in right-ruling. (Numbers 35:13) ‘And of the cities which you give, six are to be cities of refuge. (Numbers 35:14) ‘Give three cities beyond the Yardĕn, and give three cities in the land of Kenaʽan, as cities of refuge. (Numbers 35:15) ‘These six cities are for a refuge for the children of Yisra’ĕl; and for the sojourner, and for the settler in their midst, for anyone who accidentally kills someone to flee there. (Numbers 35:16) ‘But if he has smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Numbers 35:17) ‘And if he has smitten him with a stone in the hand, by which one could die, and he does die, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Numbers 35:18) ‘Or if he has smitten him with a wooden instrument that could kill, and he does die, he is a murderer. The murderer shall certainly be put to death. (Numbers 35:19) ‘The revenger of blood himself puts the murderer to death. When he meets him, he puts him to death. (Numbers 35:20) ‘And if he thrusts him through in hatred, or throws an object at him while lying in wait, so that he dies, (Numbers 35:21) or in enmity he smites him with his hand so that he dies, the one who smote him shall certainly be put to death, for he is a murderer. The revenger of blood puts the murderer to death when he meets him.(Numbers 35:22) ‘But if he pushes him suddenly without enmity, or throws an object at him without lying in wait,(Numbers 35:23) or uses a stone, by which a man could die, throwing it at him without seeing him, so that he dies, while he was not his enemy or seeking his harm, (Numbers 35:24) then the congregation shall judge between him who killed someone and the revenger of blood, according to these right-rulings. (Numbers 35:25) ‘And the congregation shall rescue the one who killed someone from the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall return him to the city of refuge where he had fled, and he shall remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the set-apart oil. (Numbers 35:26) ‘But if the one who killed someone at any time goes outside the limits of the city of refuge where he fled, (Numbers 35:27) and the revenger of blood finds him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the revenger of blood kills him who killed someone, he is not guilty of blood, (Numbers 35:28) because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest he who killed someone is to return to the land of his possession. (Numbers 35:29) ‘And these shall be for a law of right-ruling to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Numbers 35:30) ‘Whoever kills someone has to be put to death as a murderer by the mouth of witnesses, but only one witness does not bear witness against someone to die. (Numbers 35:31) ‘And take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death. (Numbers 35:32) ‘And take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge to return to dwell in the land before the death of the priest. (Numbers 35:33) ‘And do not profane the land where you are, for blood profanes the land, and the land is not pardoned for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. (Numbers 35:34) ‘And do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell, for I, יהוה, am dwelling in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl.’ ”
Promised Inheritance for- whosoever will turn and follow Him! We serve a JUST Elohim!
(Numbers 36:1) And the heads of the fathers of the clans of the children of Gilʽaḏ, son of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, of the clans of the sons of Yosĕph, came near and spoke before Mosheh and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers of the children of Yisra’ĕl, (Numbers 36:2) and said, “יהוה commanded my master to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and my master was commanded by יהוה to give the inheritance of our brother Tselophḥaḏ to his daughters. (Numbers 36:3) “Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and taken from the lot of our inheritance. (Numbers 36:4) “And if the Jubilee of the children of Yisra’ĕl takes place, then their inheritance shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and their inheritance taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.” (Numbers 36:5) And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl according to the word of יהוה, saying, “What the tribe of the sons of Yosĕph speaks is right. (Numbers 36:6) “This is the word which יהוה has commanded, for the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, saying, ‘Let them marry who is good in their eyes, but let them marry only within the clan of their father’s tribe.’ (Numbers 36:7) “And the inheritance of the children of Yisra’ĕl is not to change hands from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. (Numbers 36:8) “And every daughter possessing an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to be the wife of one of the clan of her father’s tribe, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl possess each the inheritance of his fathers. (Numbers 36:9) “Thus the inheritance is not to change hands from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling to its own inheritance.” (Numbers 36:10) As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ. (Numbers 36:11) For Maḥlah, Tirtsah, and Ḥoḡlah, and Milkah, and Noʽah, the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, were married to the sons of their father’s brothers.(Numbers 36:12) And they were married into the clans of the children of Menashsheh, the son of Yosĕph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father’s clan. (Numbers 36:13) These are the commands and the right-rulings which יהוה commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl by the hand of Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
Destroyer is coming from the North!
(Jeremiah 4:1) “If you do return, O Yisra’ĕl,” declares יהוה, “Return to me. And if you remove your abominations from my presence, and cease straying, (Jeremiah 4:2) and shall swear, ‘As יהוה lives,’ in truth, in right-ruling, and in righteousness – then nations shall bless themselves in Him, and they shall boast in Him!” (Jeremiah 4:3) For this is what יהוה said to the men of Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, “Break up your tillable ground, and do not sow among thorns. (Jeremiah 4:4) “Circumcise yourselves unto יהוה, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, you men of Yehuḏah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim, lest my wrath come forth like fire and burn, with none to quench it, because of the evil of your deeds.” (Jeremiah 4:5) Declare in Yehuḏah and let it be heard in Yerushalayim, and say, “Blow the ram’s horn in the land. Cry aloud and say, ‘Gather yourselves, and let us go into the walled city.’ (Jeremiah 4:6) “Lift up the banner toward Tsiyon. Be strong, do not stand still! I am bringing evil from the north, and great destruction.” (Jeremiah 4:7) “A lion has come up from his bush, and the destroyer of nations is on his way. He has set out from his place to make your land a ruin. Your cities are laid waste, without inhabitant. (Jeremiah 4:8) “For this, gird yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail. For the burning displeasure of יהוה has not turned back from us. (Jeremiah 4:9) “And in that day” (Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Troubles or Day of the Lord!) it shall be,” declares יהוה, “that the heart of the sovereign shall perish, and the heart of the heads. And the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets wonder.”
Friendships with the world and its culture – More than we love Him- Yikes! Having a FORM of Godliness with NO POWER- from such TURN AWAY!
(2 Timothy 3:1) But know this, that in the last days hard 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 but denying its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: 1See v. 13, Isaiah 24:5-6, Matthew 24:12, Romans 1:30-31, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-11.
We will humble ourselves or we will be brought low by our King!
(James 4:1) Where do fighting and striving come from among you? Do they not come from your pleasures that battle in your members? (James 4:2) You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are unable to obtain. You strive and fight and you do not possess, because you do not ask. (James 4:3) You ask and do not receive, because you ask evilly, in order to spend it on your pleasures. (James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? 1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1Mt. 13:22, Luke. 4:5-6, Luke. 14:33, Rom. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James 4:5) Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James 4:6) But He gives greater favor. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.” (James 4:7) So then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil 1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1Or adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9) Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11) Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge.
Father has shown me we are not to judge one another- we are not allowed to sit in the Lawgivers Seat! Hehe- He is quite capable! As we learn to release them to Him and bless those that curse us and pray for them that spitefully use us- He will step up and deal with them—I have spoken what He told me often; “You stand up and defend yourself, and I will stand down; however- If you trust me- stand down, and I will deliver you!”
(James 4:12) There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? (James 4:13) Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow, let us go to such and such a city, spend a year there, and trade, and make a profit,” (James 4:14) when you do not know of tomorrow. For what is your life? For it is a vapor that appears for a little, and then disappears – (James 4:15) instead of your saying, “If the Master desires, we shall live and do this or that.” (James 4:16) But now you boast in your proud speeches. All such boasting is wicked.(James 4:17) To him, then, who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Loved One, you know that as you and I press in for others, Yahshua presses in for us and our loved ones! Thank you for your heart felt prayers of Belief and Faith for Billie and me! Let’s USE our Kingdom authority! (Luke10:18) And He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heaven as lightning. (Luke 10:19) “See, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and none at all shall hurt you. (Luke 10:20) “But do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names have been written in the heavens.” We must count our blessings and REJOICE! Fear not and worry not! YHWH is on His throne laughing at and holding evil leaders in derision… so let’s think on what He promises and His good reports!
(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5) Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near. (Philippians 4:6) Do not worry (be anxious) at all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7) And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8) For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these things.
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
Continued explanation of our 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, aYehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
