Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
Yahweh is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW (Not know about) HIM and call on Him will be delivered- HalleluYAH! Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this week’s study! (This study is attached for printing/reading and available at the website below)
This week we will address the Fall Feasts of Yahweh (Moedim- Appointments in time) that MUST BE FULFILLED. This is important because of these “THINK NOT” words spoken by Yahshua:
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matthew 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Matthew 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Short review from last week loved one, are we really still TRUTH SEARCHERS?
1. Before I address what is fulfilled and try and answer the question; IS IT ALL FULFILLED- let’s look at the text above carefully. We likely will agree that no portion (Not even a pronunciation mark such as a Jot or Tittle) will pass away of the Instruction-LAW until it is ALL FULFILLED. We are warned NOT to even imagine or think that!
2. Yahshua (Jesus) seems to hint that heaven and earth will pass first. Why would He even include that statement? When does that happen- heaven and earth pass- when? Obviously, we are told that happens at the END of the 1000 year Millennium REIGN of Messiah Yahshua.
3. Peter (Kĕpha) shows us the 7 day plan of Yahweh. 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with Yahweh; one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So we could easily see that Day One was with Adam, Day Two, was with Noah; Day Three, was with Abraham; Day Four, was when Yahshua came; (After 2 days He will revive us which is the end of Day Six); Day Five, was the first thousand years AFTER Messiah Yahshua; Day Six has been the Last One Thousand years; Day Seven will be His Sabbath- when we rest – as hasatan is locked away- and Day Eight is NEW BEGINNINGS when we get a new heaven and a new earth- as we see below.
AFTER all this- the Millennium Reign of Messiah Yahshua; we see a NEW HEAVEN and A NEW EARTH- on the eighth day- 8=New Beginnings!
The New Heaven and the New Earth Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Revelation 21:2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Yahweh, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of Yahweh iswith men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. Yahweh Himself will be with them and betheir Elohah. Revelation 21:4 And Yahweh will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
Next will again quickly review last week so that I can address the scriptures concerning my promise to address a question many have—Is the Torah (Law-Instructions) ALL fulfilled according to what Yahshua says? This will be answered after I try and point out some of the possibilities and traditions we need to repent of BEFORE we stand in His presence, because we can clearly see above that IF we DISOBEY the LEAST of His commandments we are not rejected from Heaven’s Kingdom, however we are demoted I suppose and are considered “LEAST” in the Kingdom! BUT, whoever DOES them and teaches men so- will be called great in the Kingdom. I suspect these “names” they and we are called are just the opposite of the names we receive in the earth. Truly Loved One, narrow is the path and FEW FIND IT! That is to say—we who believe the Torah IS NOT passed away- are considered LEAST in the world. Those that consider it IS DONE AWAY are considered LEAST in the Kingdom Peter (Kĕpha) shows us the 7 day plan of Yahweh. 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with Yahweh; one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So we could easily see that Day
Day One was with Adam, Day Two, was with Noah; Day Three, was with Abraham; Day Four, was when Yahshua came; (After 2 days He will revive us which is the end of Day Six); Day Five, was the first thousand years AFTER Messiah Yahshua; Day Six has been the Last One Thousand years; Day Seven will be His Sabbath- when we soon rest – as hasatan is locked away- and Day Eight is NEW BEGINNINGS when we get a new heaven and a new earth- as we saw above.
FINALLY- let’s consider my opinion of WHAT IS FULFILLED? The Feasts of Yahweh (Not Jewish Feasts)are His Moedim (Appointments in TIME) with His people. They are likened to Time Cycles to show His followers what must come.
They are divided into Spring Feasts and likened to His first coming as a suffering servant likened to Joseph and Fall Feasts at His second coming likened to King David as a roaring Lion and coming KING!
SO AGAIN- WHAT IS FULFILLED? Is He reigning as King in the earth? NOT YET
The Spring Feasts of Yahweh are Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Shavuot AKA Pentecost, and the Fall Feasts are Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles AKA Sukkot, the Last Great Day or the 8th day of Sukkot but is a Set Apart Day by itself! Let’s see how they are fulfilled-or will be.
Let’s look: Yahshua is and was the Passover Lamb- He rose on FIRST FRUITS as the first fruits of the resurrection. As High Priest, He would need to be Set-Apart and untouched or undefiled until First Fruits offering was made to the Father. We know that when He arose, Mary tried to touch Him which brought a warning response- “Don’t touch me yet Mary- I have not ascended to my Father!” Later He comes back from making that offering and tells Thomas- Touch me- feel my nail holes and believe. What did He offer at First fruits to the Father? Those that were the sample offering of the Resurrection of the Dead back to life.
Remember… Matthew 27:50 And Yahshua cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Matthew 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, Matthew 27:52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; Matthew 27:53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Then He fulfilled the Last Spring Feast which is Shavuot aka Pentecost. This was the counting of the Omer seven sevens or 7 X 7 weeks- which is 49 days plus the following day would be Shavuot-Pentecost. The day many believe that the Torah- Instruction or Law was given to Moses at Mount Sinai. On that very day- Yahshua sent the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy and Set-Apart Spirit) to comfort teach and direct us and guide us into all TRUTH, proclaiming Yahshua is the Way, the Truth and the Light as our HELPER. He then proclaimed “LOVE” in first John;
1 John 5:2 by this we know that we love the children of Yahweh, when we love Yahweh and keep His commandments. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of Yahweh, that we keep His commandments. His ccommandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of Yahweh overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yahshua (Jesus) is the Son of Yahweh?
We can deduct from this that the Spring Feasts or Appointments are fulfilled by Yahshua. But, what about the Fall Feasts? NOPE! They will be fulfilled soon---at His Second Coming- when He comes to rule as KING! We will try and discuss these Feasts (Appointments) next week! So that leaves us KNOWING all is NOT FULFILLED. They really cannot be ALL FULFILLED until Heaven and Earth pass and we get a New Heaven and a New Earth!
Okay- since we learned the Spring Feasts of Yahweh are fulfilled; let’s look at all the Appointments- the Moedim- remain to be fulfilled- they are the FALL FEASTS of YAHWEH!
Feasts of Yahweh Leviticus 23:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, Leviticus 23:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts. The Sabbath Leviticus 23:3 'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings. The Passover Leviticus 23:4 'These are the feasts of Yahweh, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. Leviticus 23:5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Yahweh's Passover. Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahweh; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. Leviticus 23:7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. Leviticus 23:8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.' " The Feast of First fruits Leviticus 23:9 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, Leviticus 23:10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. Leviticus 23:11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. Leviticus 23:12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. Leviticus 23:14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. The Feast of Weeks Leviticus 23:15 'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. Leviticus 23:16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ĕphah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the first fruits to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. Leviticus 23:20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits as a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest. Leviticus 23:21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. Leviticus 23:22 'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am Yahweh your Elohim.' " The Feast of Trumpets Leviticus 23:23 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, Leviticus 23:24 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first dayof the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus23:25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.' " The Day of Atonement Leviticus 23:26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying: Leviticus 23:27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your Elohim. Leviticus 23:29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 23:30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. Leviticus 23:31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Leviticus 23:32 It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath." The Feast of BoothsLeviticus 23:33 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, Leviticus 23:34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. Leviticus 23:36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. Leviticus 23:37 'These are the feasts of Yahweh which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— Leviticus 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to Yahweh. Leviticus 23:39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh for seven days; on the first day there shall be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest. Leviticus 23:40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim for seven days. Leviticus 23:41 You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Leviticus 23:42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, Leviticus 23:43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your Elohim.' " Leviticus 23:44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of Yahweh.
They are Feast of Trumpets where the blowing of the Shofar awakens us to make ourselves ready. My belief is that the angels blew these trumpets announcing the arrival of something extremely important. The Trumpet announced the coming birth of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us on the earth. (In the beginning- Genesis Bereshit- was the Word and the Word was with Yahweh and the Word was Yahweh-John 1:1)
So; Yahshua was born 14 days later (After the announcement on Feast of Trumpets) on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Where He would tabernacle or dwell with mankind). Then on the 8th day- called the LAST GREAT DAY, He was circumcised.
After the Feast of Tabernacles we count 9 days to the tenth (10th) day and arrive at Yom Kippur aka Judgment Day or Atonement Day for those that follow Yahweh through the shed blood of Yahshua’s sacrifice for sin). We know that the LAST Feast of Trumpets (Last Trump sounded) the dead in Messiah will raise first and those of us left will meet Him in the air being changed in the twinkling of an eye---which is extremely quick by the way! Then we will rest with Him for 1000 years for His Millennial reign on the earth before the anti-messiah is released for a short time to test those who dwell on the earth. After hasatan’s tempting and deceiving he is cast into hell’s flames forever.
IF we keep and try and learn these feasts and shadow pictures we will not have the Messiah come as a THIEF in the night but the world- and even believers who do not understand these pictures will be surprised and kept out of the Wedding Feast likened to the 5 virgins (Born again and cleansed- white and pure) who were told by Yahshua-
Matthew 25:8 and the foolish said to the wise; Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. Matthew 25:9 but the wise answered, saying, No, lest there not be enough for us and you. But rather, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves. Matthew 25:10 But they going away to buy, the bridegroom came. And those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Matthew 25:11And afterwards, the rest of the virgins also came, saying, Master, Master, open to us. Matthew 25:12 But answering, he said, truly I say to you, I do not know you. Matthew 25:13 Therefore, watch, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
Again here is one reason we should try and obey Yahshua and practice His FEASTS!
Note those that do not practice the obedience to His times and seasons- His appointments-Moedim, will be the “THEY” and the “THEM” (Mentioned in the scripture seen below) that will be overtaken like a THIEF in the night- totally dismayed and surprised by His coming!
The Day of the Lord 1 Thessalonians 5:1 now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 for you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5:3 for when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction comes upon them,as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:4 but you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 for you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are neither of the night nor of darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 so, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:7 for those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 But we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of belief and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance. Isa_59:17. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 Because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע Messiah, 1 Thessalonians 5:10 who died for us, so that we, whether awake or asleep, should live together with Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, as indeed you do.
We must ask ourselves, are we just “fitting in” with the dominate culture or on a narrow path?
Consider- SELAH- Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Matthew 7:14 because narrow is the gate and difficultis the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Narrow Path? Consider 100 men representing 100 percent. How many is the many on the WIDE path? Is it 50%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more? How many are the few on the narrow path? Is it 5%, 10%, 20% 30%, or even 50%?
(Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, (Day of the Lord or Judgment Day at a future day most likely in our day and very soon) the Gentiles (Scattered sheep of Israel as you could not distinguish us from the pagans and heathen because we kept all the pagan feasts and just renamed them to say we are now glorifying our Elohim with them) shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Truth Searcher; we can become HIS TREASURE or just be deceived as an unwise virgin!
Why are these times so perilous? We are in the Valley of Decision loved one. 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: 1Ezekiel 20:25, John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Romans 1:24-28. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.
(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: 1Or the way is afflicted.
(Luke 12:15) And He said to them, “Mind, and beware of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the excess of his possessions.” (Luke 12:16) He then spoke a parable to them, saying, “The land of a certain rich man yielded well. (Luke 12:17) “And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room to store my crops?’ (Luke 12:18) “And he said, ‘I am going to do this: pull down my storehouses and build greater, and store all my crops and my goods there, (Luke 12:19) then say to myself, “Life, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, rejoice.” ’ (Luke 12:20) “But Elohim said to him, ‘you mindless one! This night your life shall be demanded from you. And who shall own what you have prepared?’ (Luke 12:21) “So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.” (Luke 12:22) And He said to His taught ones, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat; or about the body, what you shall put on. (Luke 12:23) “The life is more than the food, and the body is more than the clothing. (Luke 12:24) “Look at the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor granary, and Elohim feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds? (Luke 12:25) “And which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span? (Luke 12:26) “If then you are unable to do the least, why do you worry about the rest? (Luke 12:27) “Look at the lilies, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin, and I say to you, even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these. (Luke 12:28) “And if Elohim so clothes the grass, which today exists in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief (faith-trust)? (Luke 12:29) “And do not seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink, and do not keep worrying. (Luke 12:30) “For the gentiles of the world seek all these, and your Father knows that you need these. (Luke 12:31) “But seek the reign (kingdom) of Elohim, and all these shall be added to you. (Luke 12:32) “Do not fear, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign (kingdom). (Luke 12:33) “Sell your possessions and give in kindness. Make yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief does come near nor moth destroys. (Luke 12:34) “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also.
(Mark 8:34) And calling near the crowd with His taught ones, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after me let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow me. (Mark 8:35) “For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for the sake of me and the Good News, he shall save it. (Mark 8:36) “For what shall it profit a man if he gains the entire world, and loses his own life? (Mark 8:37) “Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? (Mark 8:38) “For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinning generation, of him the Son of Aḏam also shall be ashamed when He comes in the esteem of His Father with the set-apart messengers(Angels).”
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: 1Mt. 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. Footnote: 1See Abomination that lays waste in Explanatory Notes. (Mark 13:15) “And he, who is on the house-top, let him not go down into the house, nor come in to take whatever out of his house. (Mark 13:16) “And he who is in the field, let him not go back to get his cloak. (Mark 13:17, “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing children in those days! (Mark 13:18) “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter. (Mark 13:19) “For in those days there shall be distress, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which Elohim created until this time, nor ever shall be. (Mark 13:20) “And if the Master had not shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen ones, whom He chose, He shortened the days. (Mark 13:21) “If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it.
Remember with me that faith without action is dead and likened to the body without the spirit man in it. It is still faith but can produce NOTHING as the body will return to the dirt from which it came and also produce NOTHING!
(James 2:23) And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” (James 2:24) You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. (James 2:25) In the same way, was not Raḥaḇ the whore also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? (James 2:26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief (faith trust) is dead without the works.
Framing our world by HIS spoken word! Betrayal seems to be guaranteed…we must ONLY BELIEVE in Him and His promise!
Psalm 119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. No one is arguing with YHWH in Heaven, the thing we (you and I) must enforce is His word by speaking agreement with His promises in the earth; where hasatan is ruling the masses. We must focus our attention on Him and His promises- not on the facts we may be experiencing. They may create race wars with mind control and fill up FEMA camps etc. - but Yahshua promises He will give us words to speak and not one hair of our head will be lost: (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 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. (Luke21:14) “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. (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 “fleeing” is likely because of the cleansing of the land 2/3 will be cut off and die and the women ravished-raped- this is probably in reference to Zechariah war): (Zechariah 14:2) and I shall gather all the gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim1. 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.
If we claim to be of Yahshua and heir to His promises to Abraham, then we MUST and WILL walk like Yahshua did.
(1 John 2:4) The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.(1 John 2:5) But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected1 in him. By this we know that we are in Him.2 Footnotes: 1 Genesis 17:1, Psalms 119:1, and Matthew 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1 John 2:6) The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
Here is a foundation Scripture that Yahshua never went against- He NEVER disobeyed His Father- He only did what He saw His Father do and spoke what His Father spoke. That’s what mankind seems to do- get religion and start changing what He said; by adding to and taking away from what He said- this would include adding holidays (holy set apart days) that He never commanded and refusing to keep those holidays- set apart days- He does command!
(Deuteronomy 4:1) “And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and the right-rulings which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go in and possess the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it 1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1 See also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation. 22:18-19. (Deuteronomy 4:3) “Your eyes have seen what יהוה did at Baʽal Peʽor, for יהוה your Elohim has destroyed from your midst all the men who followed Baʽal Peʽor. (Deuteronomy 4:4) “But you who are clinging to יהוה your Elohim are alive today, every one of you. (Deuteronomy 4:5) “See, I have taught you laws and right-rulings, as יהוה my Elohim commanded me, to do thus in the land which you go to possess. (Deuteronomy 4:6) “And you shall guard and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these laws, and they shall say; ‘Only a wise and understanding people are this great nation!’ (Deuteronomy 4:7) “For what great nation is there which has Elohim so near to it, as יהוה our Elohim is to us, whenever we call on Him? (Deuteronomy 4:8) “And what great nation is there that has such laws and righteous right-rulings like all this Torah which I set before you this day? (Deuteronomy 4:9) “Only, guard yourself, and guard your life diligently, lest you forget the Words your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all the days of your life. And you shall make them known to your children and your grandchildren.
Our tongue will direct our lives; IF we remain stubborn and not allow Him to control us- it will lead us to our guaranteed destruction! If we submit to His commands and words- we gain His SHALOM as He directs us, protects us, and provides for us!
What are we speaking? What we speak will determine our results of our efforts. We must plant good seeds with our words; and guard against speaking the facts. Facts may seem true, but they are not the TRUTH if they disagree with what YHWH has spoken about us and His promises to us! (2 Corinthians 4:18) We are not looking on what is seen, but on what is not seen. For what is seen passes away (temporary-temporal), but what is not seen (the promise of Scripture you are standing upon and SPEAKING!) is everlasting.1 Footnote: 1 See 5:7, and Romans 8:24, Hebrews 11:1 & 13. This agrees with what Yahshua says; that our words are spirit- if we agree with Him our words bring - if we agree with the facts and continue to speak our woes and dilemmas- we establish them against ourselves to hasatan’s glee! (John 6:63) It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and life. (John 6:64) But there are some of you that believe not. For Yahshua (Jesus) knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him.
Let’s memorize some Scriptures and speak them over ourselves and our loved ones! I encourage you to do that as now is the time--- We need His Shalom (Peace) NOW! FEAR NOT!
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Balak
Numbers 22:2-25:9; Micah 5:6-6:8; 2 Peter 2:9-19; 1 Corinthians 1:20-31
False Prophets (not sent by YHWH) are usually for Profit! (None can curse what YHWH blesses; nor can one bless what YHWH has cursed- (Genesis 12:1) and יהוה said to Aḇram, “Go yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land which I show you. (Genesis 12:2) “And I shall make you a great nation, and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing! (Genesis 12:3) “And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.” Additionally, even if these disobedient prophets do curse it shall not land or have power to stay: (Proverbs 26:2) Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, so a curse without cause does not alight.
(Numbers 22:2) And Balaq son of Tsippor saw all that Yisra’ĕl had done to the Amorites. (Numbers 22:3) And Mo’aḇ was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Mo’aḇ was in dread because of the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 22:4) And Mo’aḇ said to the elders of Miḏyan, “Now this company is licking up all that is around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” Now Balaq son of Tsippor was sovereign of the Mo’aḇites at that time,(Numbers 22:5) and he sent messengers to Bilʽam son of Beʽor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “See, a people has come from Mitsrayim. See, they have covered the surface of the land, and are settling next to me! (Numbers 22:6) “And now, please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too strong for me. It might be that I smite them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.” (Numbers 22:7) And the elders of Mo’aḇ and the elders of Miḏyan left with the fees for divination in their hand, and they came to Bilʽam and spoke the words of Balaq to him. (Numbers 22:8) And he said to them, “Spend the night here and I shall bring back word to you, as יהוה speaks to me.” So the heads of Mo’aḇ stayed with Bilʽam. (Numbers 22:9) And Elohim came to Bilʽam and said, “Who are these men with you?” (Numbers 22:10) And Bilʽam said to Elohim, “Balaq, son of Tsippor, sovereign of Mo’aḇ, has sent to me, saying, (Numbers 22:11) ‘See, a people has come out of Mitsrayim and cover the surface of the land. Come now, curse them for me. It might be that I am able to fight against them and drive them out.’ ” (Numbers 22:12) And Elohim said to Bilʽam, “Do not go with them. You do not curse the people, for they are blessed.” (Numbers 22:13) And Bilʽam rose in the morning and said to the heads of Balaq, “Go back to your land, for יהוה has refused to allow me to go with you.” (Numbers 22:14) And the heads of Mo’aḇ arose and went to Balaq, and said, “Bilʽam refuses to come with us.”
The wicked demand their way! (But if we walk righteously- it cannot land!)
(Numbers 22:15) Then Balaq again sent heads, more numerous and more esteemed than they. Numbers 22:16) And they came to Bilʽam and said to him, “This is what Balaq son of Tsippor said: ‘Do not be withheld from coming to me, please, (Numbers 22:17) for I esteem you very greatly, and whatever you say to me, I do. Therefore please come, curse this people for me.’ ” (Numbers 22:18) And Bilʽam answered and said to the servants of Balaq, “Though Balaq were to give me his house filled with silver and gold, I am unable to go beyond the word of יהוה my Elohim, to do less or more. (Numbers 22:19) “And now, please, you also stay here tonight, and let me find out what more יהוה says to me.”(Numbers 22:20) And Elohim came to Bilʽam at night and said to him, “If the men come to call you, rise and go with them, but only the word which I speak to you that you do.” (Numbers 22:21) And Bilʽam rose in the morning and saddled his donkey, and went with the heads of Mo’aḇ.
Those who oppose YHWH might find themselves speaking donkey talk!
(Numbers 22:22) But the displeasure of Elohim burned because he went, and the Messenger (Angel) of יהוה stationed Himself in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.(Numbers 22:23) And the donkey saw the Messenger (Angel) of יהוה standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Bilʽam beat the donkey to turn her back onto the way. (Numbers 22:24) Then the Messenger of יהוה stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side. (Numbers 22:25) And when the donkey saw the Messenger of יהוה, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Bilʽam’s foot against the wall, so he beat her again. (Numbers 22:26) And the Messenger of יהוה went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn aside, right or left. (Numbers 22:27) And when the donkey saw the Messenger of יהוה, she lay down under Bilʽam. So Bilʽam’s displeasure burned, and he beat the donkey with his staff. (Numbers 22:28) Then יהוה opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Bilʽam, “What have I done to you, that you have beaten me these three times?”(Numbers 22:29) And Bilʽam said to the donkey, “Because you have mocked me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for I would have killed you by now!” (Numbers 22:30) And the donkey said to Bilʽam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever known to do so to you?” And he said, “No.” (Numbers 22:31) Then יהוה opened Bilʽam’s eyes, and he saw the Messenger of יהוה standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand. And he bowed his head and fell on his face.
(Numbers 22:32) And the Messenger of יהוה said to him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? See, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is reckless before me. (Numbers 22:33) “And the donkey saw me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, I certainly would have killed you by now, and let her live.” (Numbers 22:34) And Bilʽam said to the Messenger of יהוה, “I have sinned, for I did not know you stood in the way against me. And now, if evil is in Your eyes, let me turn back.” (Numbers 22:35) And the Messenger of יהוה said to Bilʽam, “Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you, that you speak.” Bilʽam then went with the heads of Balaq. (Numbers 22:36) And when Balaq heard that Bilʽam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Mo’aḇ, which is on the border at the Arnon, which was in the extremity of the border. (Numbers 22:37) And Balaq said to Bilʽam, “Did I not urgently send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to esteem you?” (Numbers 22:38) And Bilʽam said to Balaq, “See, I have come to you! Now, am I at all able to say somewhat? Only the word Elohim puts in my mouth is what I speak.” (Numbers 22:39) And Bilʽam went with Balaq, and they came to Qiryath Ḥutsoth. (Numbers 22:40) And Balaq slaughtered cattle and sheep, and he sent some to Bilʽam and to the heads who were with him. (Numbers 22:41) And it came to be the next day that Balaq took Bilʽam and brought him up to the high places of Baʽal, and from there he saw the extremity of the camp. (Numbers 23:1) And Bilʽam said to Balaq, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”(Numbers 23:2) And Balaq did as Bilʽam had spoken, and Balaq and Bilʽam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.(Numbers 23:3) Bilʽam then said to Balaq, “Stand by your burnt offering, and let me go on. It might be that יהוה does come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I shall declare to you.” And he went to a bare height. (Numbers 23:4) And Elohim came to Bilʽam, and he said to Him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram.” (Numbers 23:5) And יהוה put a word in the mouth of Bilʽam, and said, “Return to Balaq, and this is what you say.” (Numbers 23:6) And he returned to him and saw him standing by his burnt offering, he and all the heads of Mo’aḇ. (Numbers 23:7) And he took up his proverb and said, “Balaq the sovereign of Mo’aḇ has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come, curse Yaʽaqoḇ for me, and come, rage at Yisra’ĕl!’
Great question for all today! Maybe our governments should watch and learn!
What He has blessed no man can curse as He will perform it! He does NOT lie!
(Numbers 23:8) “How do I curse whom Ěl has not cursed? And how do I rage at whom יהוה has not raged? (Numbers 23:9) “For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I observe him. Look, a people dwelling alone, not reckoning it among the nations. (Numbers 23:10) “Who shall count the dust of Yaʽaqoḇ, and the number of one-fourth of Yisra’ĕl? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!” (Numbers 23:11) And Balaq said to Bilʽam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have kept on blessing!”(Numbers 23:12) And he answered and said, “Should I not take heed to speak what יהוה has put in my mouth?”
These One World Governments are slow to understand….
(Numbers 23:13) And Balaq said to him, “Please come with me to another place from where you see them. You only see the extremity but not all of them. Curse them for me from there.” (Numbers 23:14) And he took him to the field of Tsophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. (Numbers 23:15) And he said to Balaq, “Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet over there.” (Numbers 23:16) And יהוה came to Bilʽam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Go back to Balaq, and say this.” (Numbers 23:17) So he went to him and saw him standing by his burnt offering, and the heads of Mo’aḇ with him. And Balaq asked him, “What did יהוהsay?” (Numbers 23:18) And he took up his proverb and said, “Rise up, Balaq, and hear! Listen to me, son of Tsippor!(Numbers 23:19) “Ěl is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it? (Numbers 23:20) “See, I have received, to bless. And He has blessed, and I do not reverse it. (Numbers23:21) “He has not looked upon wickedness in Yaʽaqoḇ, nor has He seen trouble in Yisra’ĕl.יהוה his Elohim is with him, and the shout of a Sovereign is in him. (Numbers 23:22) “Ěl who brought them out of Mitsrayim, is for them like the horns of a wild ox. (Numbers 23:23) “There is no sorcery against Yaʽaqoḇ, nor is there any divination against Yisra’ĕl. Now it is said to Yaʽaqoḇ and to Yisra’ĕl, ‘What has Ěl done!’ (Numbers 23:24) “Look a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; it lies not down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.” (Numbers 23:25) And Balaq said to Bilʽam, “Do not curse them at all, nor bless them at all!” (Numbers 23:26) And Bilʽam answered and said to Balaq, “Have I not spoken to you, saying, ‘All that יהוה speaks, that I do’?”(Numbers 23:27) And Balaq said to Bilʽam, “Please come, let me take you to another place. It might be right in the eyes of Elohim that you curse them for me from there.” (Numbers 23:28) And Balaq took Bilʽam to the top of Peʽor that overlooks the wasteland. (Numbers 23:29) And Bilʽam said to Balaq, “Build seven alters for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.” (Numbers23:30) And Balaq did as Bilʽam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Even false Prophets may repent and prophesy truth! Note what happens to Muslim brotherhood!
(Numbers 24:1) And when Bilʽam saw that it pleased יהוה to bless Yisra’ĕl, he did not go as at other times, to seek to use sorcery, but he set his face toward the wilderness. (Numbers 24:2) And Bilʽam lifted up his eyes and saw Yisra’ĕl encamped according to their tribes. And the Spirit of Elohim came upon him. (Numbers 24:3) And he took up his proverb and said, “The sayings of Bilʽam, son of Beʽor, and the saying of the man whose eyes are opened, (Numbers 24:4) the sayings of him who hears the words of Ěl, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes opened wide: (Numbers 24:5) “How good are your tents, O Yaʽaqoḇ, your dwellings, O Yisra’ĕl! (Numbers 24:6) “Like wadis that stretch out, like gardens by a river, like aloes planted by יהוה, like cedars beside waters. (Numbers 24:7) “He makes water flow from his buckets, and his seed is in many waters. His sovereign is higher than Aḡaḡ, and his reign is exalted. (Numbers 24:8) “Ěl who brought him out of Mitsrayim is for them like the horns of a wild ox; he devours nations, his enemies; and he breaks their bones, and with his arrows he smites. (Numbers 24:9) “He bowed down; he lay down like a lion. And, like a lion, who would rouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.” (Numbers 24:10) Then the displeasure of Balaq burned against Bilʽam, and he struck his hands together. Balaq then said to Bilʽam, “I summoned you to curse my enemies, and see; you have kept on blessing, these three times! (Numbers 24:11) “And now flee to your place. I said I would greatly esteem you, and see, יהוה has kept you back from esteem.” (Numbers 24:12) And Bilʽam said to Balaq, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying, (Numbers 24:13) ‘If Balaq should give me his house filled with silver and gold, I am unable to go beyond the word of יהוה, to do either good or evil of my own heart. What יהוה speaks, that I speak’? (Numbers 24:14) “And now, see, I am going to my people. Come; let me advise you what this people are going to do to your people in the latter days.” (Numbers 24:15) And he took up his proverb and said, “The sayings of Bilʽam, son of Beʽor, and the saying of the man whose eyes are opened, (Numbers 24:16) the sayings of him who hears the words of Ěl, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes opened wide: (Numbers 24:17) “I see Him, but not now; I observe Him, but not near. A Star shall come out of Yaʽaqoḇ, and a Scepter shall rise out of Yisra’ĕl, and shall smite the corners of Mo’aḇ, and shall destroy all the sons of Shĕth. (Numbers 24:18) “(Numbers 24:19) “And out of Yaʽaqoḇ one shall rule And Eḏom shall be a possession; and Sĕʽir shall be a possession – enemies – and Yisra’ĕl is doing mightily. And destroy the remnant from Ar.” (Numbers 24:20) He then looked on Amalĕq, and he took up his proverb and said, “Amalĕq was first among the nations, but his latter end is to perish forever.” (Numbers 24:21) He then looked on the Qĕynites, and he took up his proverb and said, “Firm is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock, (Numbers 24:22) but Qayin is to be burned. Till when does Asshur keep you captive?” (Numbers 24:23) And he took up his proverb and said, “Oh, who does live when Ěl does this? (Numbers 24:24) And ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur and afflict Ěḇer, and so shall Amalĕq and he also perish.” (Numbers 24:25) And Bilʽam arose and left, and returned to his place. And Balaq also went his way.
Harlotry
(Numbers 25:1) And Yisra’ĕl dwelt in Shittim, and the people began to whore with the daughters of Mo’aḇ, (Numbers 25:2) and they invited the people to the slaughtering of their mighty ones, and the people ate and bowed down to their mighty ones. (Numbers 25:3) Thus Yisra’ĕl was joined to Baʽal Peʽor, and the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 25:4) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take all the leaders of the people and hang them up before יהוה, before the sun, so that the burning displeasure of יהוה turns away from Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 25:5) And Mosheh said to the judges of Yisra’ĕl, “Each one of you slay his men who were joined to Baʽal Peʽor.” (Numbers 25:6) And see, one of the children of Yisra’ĕl came and brought to his brothers a Miḏyanite woman before the eyes of Mosheh and before the eyes of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.(Numbers 25:7) And when Pineḥas, son of Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation and took a spear in his hand, (Numbers 25:8) and he went after the man of Yisra’ĕl into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Yisra’ĕl, and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague among the children of Yisra’ĕl came to a stop. (Numbers 25:9) And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
There are wages (payments) for unrighteousness!
(2 Peter 2:9) then יהוה knows how to rescue the reverent ones from trial and to keep the unrighteous unto the day of judgment, to be punished, (2 Peter 2:10) and most of all those walking after the flesh in filthy lust and despising authority – bold, headstrong, speaking evil of esteemed ones. (2 Peter 2:11) Whereas messengers (angels) who are greater in strength and power; do not bring a slanderous accusation against them before the Master. (2 Peter 2:12) But these, like natural unreasoning beasts, having been born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheme that, which they do not know, shall be destroyed in their destruction, (2 Peter 2:13) being about to receive the wages of unrighteousness, deeming indulgence in the day of pleasure, spots and blemishes, reveling in their own deceptions while they feast with you, (2 Peter 2:14) having eyes filled with an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable beings, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse, (2 Peter 2:15) having left the right way they went astray, having followed the way of Bilʽam the son of Beʽor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, (2 Peter 2:16) but he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb donkey speaking with the voice of a man restrained the madness of the prophet. (2 Peter 2:17) These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a storm, to which the blackest darkness is kept forever. (2 Peter 2:18) For speaking arrogant nonsense, they entice – through the lusts of the flesh, through indecencies – the ones who have indeed escaped from those living in delusion, (2 Peter 2:19) promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves of corruption – for one is a slave to whatever overcomes him.
Scattered Tribes of Israel!
(Micah 5:6) And they shall shepherd the land of Ashshur with the sword, and the land of Nimroḏ at its entrances. And He shall deliver us from Ashshur, when he comes into our land and when he treads within our borders. (Micah 5:7) And the remnant of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from יהוה, as showers on the grass, which do not wait for man nor delay for the sons of men. (Micah 5:8) And the remnant of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be among the gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of a forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, who, if he passes through, shall both tread down and shall tear, and there is no one to deliver. (Micah 5:9) Let your hand be lifted up against your adversaries, and all your enemies be cut off. (Micah 5:10) “And it shall be in that day,” declaresיהוה, “that I shall cut off your horses out of your midst, and I shall destroy your chariots. (Micah 5:11) “And I shall cut off the cities of your land, and I shall pull down all your strongholds. (Micah 5:12) “And I shall cut off witchcrafts out of your hand, and let you have no magicians. (Micah 5:13) “And I shall cut off your carved images, and your pillars from your midst, so that you no longer bow down to the work of your hands. (Micah 5:14) “And I shall pluck your Ashĕrim out of your midst, and I shall destroy your cities. (Micah 5:15) “And I shall take vengeance in wrath and rage on the gentiles who did not obey.” (Micah 6:1) Hear now what יהוה is saying, “Arise, strive with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. (Micah 6:2) “Hear, O you mountains, the controversy of יהוה, and you everlasting foundations of the earth! יהוה has a controversy with His people and He shall reprove Yisra’ĕl. (Micah 6:3) “My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Answer me, (Micah 6:4) for I brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, and I ransomed you from the house of bondage. And I sent Mosheh, Aharon, and Miryam before you. (Micah 6:5) “My people, remember, please, what Balaq sovereign of Mo’aḇ counseled, and what Bilʽam son of Beʽor answered him, from Shittim to Gilgal, in order to know the righteousness of יהוה.” (Micah 6:6) With what shall I come before יהוה, bow myself before the high Elohim? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? (Micah 6:7) Is יהוה pleased with thousands of rams or ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my being? (Micah 6:8) He has declared to you, O man, what is good. And what does יהוה require of you but to do right, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your Elohim?
Our Deliverer is coming! Come out of her my people- or partake in her plagues.
(2 Peter 2:9) then יהוה knows how to rescue the reverent (set apart) ones from trial and to keep the unrighteous unto the Day of Judgment, to be punished, (2 Peter 2:10) and most of all those walking after the flesh in filthy lust and despising authority – bold, headstrong, speaking evil of esteemed ones, (2 Peter 2:11) whereas messengers (Angels) who are greater in strength and power do not bring a slanderous accusation against them before the Master. (2 Peter 2:12) But these, like natural unreasoning beasts, having been born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheme that which they do not know, shall be destroyed in their destruction, (2 Peter 2:13) being about to receive the wages of unrighteousness, deeming indulgence in the day of pleasure, spots and blemishes, reveling in their own deceptions while they feast with you, (2 Peter 2:14) having eyes filled with an adulterous, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable beings, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse, (2 Peter 2:15) having left the right way they went astray, having followed the way of Bilʽam the son of Beʽor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, (2 Peter 2:16) but he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb donkey speaking with the voice of a man restrained the madness of the prophet. (2 Peter 2:17) These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a storm, to which the blackest darkness is kept forever. (2 Peter 2:18) For speaking arrogant nonsense, they entice – through the lusts of the flesh, through indecencies – the ones who have indeed escaped from those living in delusion, (2 Peter 2:19) promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves of corruption – for one is a slave to whatever overcomes him.
Not many are wealthy and wise according to the esteem of this world.
(1 Corinthians 1:20) Where is the wise? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1 Corinthians 1:21) Since, in the wisdom of Elohim, the world through wisdom did not know Elohim, it pleased Elohim through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. (1 Corinthians 1:22) And since Yehuḏim ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, (1 Corinthians 1:23) yet we proclaim Messiah impaled, to the Yehuḏim a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness, (1 Corinthians 1:24) but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. (1 Corinthians 1:25) The foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:26) For look at your calling, brothers, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. (1 Corinthians 1:27) But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. (1 Corinthians 1:28) And Elohim has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, (1 Corinthians 1:29) so that no flesh should boast in His presence. (1 Corinthians 1:30) And of Him you are in Messiah יהושע, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption,(1 Corinthians 1:31) that, as it has been written, “He who boasts, let him boast in יהוה.”
Here‘s our wakeup call and my prayer for you Loved One!
Let’s remember to praise Him as we incline our hearts to Him, observe His Festivals (Starting with His Sabbath!) and walk in His ways! “When Your people Yisra’ĕl are smitten before an enemy, because they have sinned against you, and they shall turn back to you and confess your Name, and pray and make supplication to you in this House, (1 kings 8:34) then hear in the heavens, and forgive the sin of Your people Yisra’ĕl, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers. I pray that we walk in kindness and offer a blessing for a curse, and pray for those that do all manner of evil against us- this is pleasing to the Father- that we produce much fruit that remains! Also; that we speak agreement with His promises in spite of the obvious facts. - I pray also that YOU PRAY AGREEMENT with us that we; you and us- are made worthy to escape and endure and STAND at His appearing- unashamed!
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.
