Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Okay, once again we review some of the problems we as believers seem to be facing as we recognize we have inherited some lies and pagan traditions that we must now come apart from. Many of us have been told that we are raptured out of here before any trouble even starts. It appears our Messiah does not agree with this casual approach toward the End of the Age as he warns us to be sober and alert: (Rev 16:15) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keeps his garments on, lest he walks naked and they see his shame. Let me explain what Yahshua showed me about this verse- remember that John the Baptist’s dad was Zechariah a priest of the order of Abiyah. There were 24 orders of priests that each served two weeks during the year serving the High Priest (Cohen Gadol) and they all served during the Feasts of the Lord. (Not Jewish Feasts only like we were taught) These priests would help with the evening and morning oblation sacrifices and it was their job to stay sober and alert and keep the fire burning on the altar. (Sound familiar?) IF they stayed sober and alert the fire would consume the sacrifice and the altar would be clean and ready for the morning oblation or free will offering. Even more important, the smell of the aroma (obedience) would be a sweet aroma to the Father. Sometime during the night the Cohen Gadol (High Priest) would sneak in like a thief in the night and check the fire on the altar and be assured that the priest was sober and alert and doing what he was supposed to do- keeping the fire burning on the altar! (Perhaps like we likewise are supposed to?) Upon checking the altar and finding the fire burning and the servant priest sober and alert, the High Priest would have sweet fellowship with the obedient sober priest. However, if the Cohen Gadol (High Priest) found the fire gone out, he would rekindle the fire and take part of the fire and find the drunk, sleeping priest and set his linen garments on fire! The fire would burn his garments quickly (For lack of a better example- explode in flames like a dead Christmas tree) and that priest would sober up quickly, put out the fire of his remaining linen garments, and run home naked and ashamed! I expect that is what many Christians who have believed the lies of a pre-tribulation rapture with no urgent need for sobriety and being about the Father’s business will be doing- going home naked and ashamed!

We are here to produce fruit for His Kingdom! That should be our top priority that we be not ashamed when we stand in front of Him. It is not about us whining and complaining and demanding we get out before the trouble starts. Remember, He casts the fearful (Comment those that trust hasatan’s power to destroy us more than trusting YHWH to deliver us) into hell with the murderers, sorcerers etc. We must produce fruit for His Kingdom or ashamedly be tossed into the fire by our Creator. Sadly, pastors and teachers who have erroneously taught that tickle your ears philosophy of pre-trib rapture will be persecuted and killed for that lie when the Great Tribulation starts and we have not escaped prior. We should understand and believe (1Co 15:52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Since you and I are keeping these Feasts and rehearsals (Appointments) of our Creator we can now understand that He is referring to the Feast of Trumpets and should remember that there are 7 seals and 6 Trumps before the LAST Trump! That is why it is said in Thessalonians that we need to understand these appointed times like first century believers did as a result of keeping and obeying them: (1Th 5:1) But of the times and the seasons, (Appointments, in Hebrew Moedim-rehearsals) brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. (1Th 5:2) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (1Th 5:3) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them (The world or unbelievers), as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1Th 5:4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (1Th 5:5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (1Th 5:6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. No need to be sober if we “born again Christians” are to be raptured out before any trouble starts! What absolute nonsense is this careless doctrine of devils that has believers expecting pre-trib rapture!

We are now confronted with some previously unknown truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or all of us grafted into Israel’s trouble-not just the Jews or Judah’s and also known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and Biblical commands! These are lies that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jer 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles 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.

(Deu 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.

We must remind ourselves- can we even imagine thinking we were serving YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of lawlessness- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually were disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This experience would and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth, into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Okay, with repentance in our thoughts let’s look and see what our ancestors of the faith did and how YHWH responds. We can expect like responses.

Here are the Torah Scriptures this week: Vayeshev “And He dwelt”

Genesis 37:1-40:23; Amos 2:6-3:8; Zechariah 2:14-4:7;

Acts 7:9-16; Judges Chapters 1, 2, and 3

Suffering servant like Messiah- Messiah Ben Joseph -Are you too chosen? Trouble ahead!

(Gen 37:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ dwelt in the land of his father’s sojourning, in the land of Kenaʽan. (Gen 37:2) This is the genealogy of Yaʽaqoḇ. Yosĕph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the young man was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Yosĕph brought an evil report of them to his father. (Gen 37:3) And Yisra’ĕl loved Yosĕph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a long robe. (Gen 37:4) But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him. (Gen 37:5) And Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers. So they hated him even more. (Gen 37:6) And he said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have dreamed: (Gen 37:7) “See, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, and see, my sheaf rose up and also stood up. And see, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” (Gen 37:8) And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Shall you indeed rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. (Gen 37:9) And he dreamed still another dream and related it to his brothers, and said, “See, I have dreamed another dream, and see, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” (Gen 37:10) And he related it to his father and his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall we, your mother and I and your brothers, indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” (Gen 37:11) And his brothers envied him, but his father guarded the word. (Gen 37:12) And his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Sheḵem. (Gen 37:13) And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Sheḵem? Come, I send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.” (Gen 37:14) And he said to him, “Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the sheep, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Ḥeḇron, and he went to Sheḵem. (Gen 37:15) A certain man found him, and see, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What do you seek?” (Gen 37:16) And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Please inform me where they are feeding their sheep.” (Gen 37:17) And the man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go towards Dothan.’ ” So Yosĕph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.

Shedding innocent blood is why YHWH kills every single descendant of Esau! Note that although the envious brothers remove his favor- YHWH does not!

(Gen 37:18) And they saw him from a distance, and before he came near them, they plotted against him, to kill him. (Gen 37:19) And they said to each other, “See, this master of dreams is coming! (Gen 37:20) “Now, then, come and let us now kill him and throw him into some pit, and shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ Let us then see what comes of his dreams!” (Gen 37:21) But Re’uḇĕn heard and rescued him from their hands, and said, “Let us not take his life.” (Gen 37:22) And Re’uḇĕn said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him” – in order to rescue him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father. (Gen 37:23) So it came to be, when Yosĕph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Yosĕph of his robe, the long robe which was on him. (Gen 37:24) And they took him and threw him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. (Gen 37:25) And they sat down to eat a meal. And they lifted their eyes and looked and saw a company of Yishmaʽĕlites, coming from Gilʽaḏ with their camels, bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, and going to take them down to Mitsrayim. (Gen 37:26) And Yehuḏah said to his brothers, “What would we gain if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

Maybe we can make gain and still get him out of the way!

(Gen 37:27) “Come and let us sell him to the Yishmaʽĕlites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh.” And his brothers listened. (Gen 37:28) And men, Miḏyanite traders passed by, so they pulled Yosĕph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Yishmaʽĕlites for twenty pieces of silver. And they took Yosĕph to Mitsrayim. (Gen 37:29) And Re’uḇĕn returned to the pit, and see, Yosĕph was not in the pit. And he tore his garments. (Gen 37:30) And he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone! And I, where am I to go?” (Gen 37:31) So they took Yosĕph’s robe, killed a male goat, and dipped the robe in the blood, (Gen 37:32) and sent the long robe and brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Please look, is it the robe of your son or not?” (Gen 37:33) And he recognised it and said, “It is my son’s robe. An evil beast has devoured him. Yosĕph is torn, torn to pieces.” (Gen 37:34) And Yaʽaqoḇ tore his garments, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days. (Gen 37:35) And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “Now let me go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” So his father wept for him. (Gen 37:36) And the Miḏanites had sold him in Mitsrayim to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

What the transgressors mean for evil, YHWH turns for good- After the fiery trial! Trials and testing now come on Judah!

(Gen 38:1) And at that time it came to be that Yehuḏah left his brothers, and turned aside to a man, an Aḏullamite whose name was Ḥirah. (Gen 38:2) And Yehuḏah saw there a daughter of a certain Kenaʽanite whose name was Shuwa. And he took her and went in to her. (Gen 38:3) So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Ěr. (Gen 38:4) and she conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. (Gen 38:5) And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shĕlah. And he was at Keziḇ when she bore him. (Gen 38:6) And Yehuḏah took a wife for Ěr his first-born, and her name was Tamar. (Gen 38:7) But Ěr, Yehuḏah’s first-born, was evil in the eyes of יהוה, and יהוה took his life. (Gen 38:8) And Yehuḏah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and rise up an heir to your brother.” (Gen 38:9) And Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. And it came to be, when he went in to his brother’s wife; that he spilled on the ground, lest he should give an offspring to his brother. (Gen 38:10) But what he did displeased יהוה, so He took his life too. (Gen 38:11) Then Yehuḏah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house until my son Shĕlah is grown.” He said, “Lest he also die as his brothers did.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house. (Gen 38:12) And after a long time the daughter of Shuwa, Yehuḏah’s wife, died. And Yehuḏah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers at Timnah, he and his friend Ḥirah the Aḏullamite. (Gen 38:13) And it was reported to Tamar, saying, “See, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” (Gen 38:14) And she took off her widow’s garments, and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Ěnayim which was on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shĕlah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife. (Gen 38:15) And Yehuḏah saw her, and reckoned her for a whore, for she had covered her face. (Gen 38:16) And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What do you give me to come in to me?” (Gen 38:17) And he said, “Let me send you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “Do you give me a pledge until you send it?” (Gen 38:18) So he said, “What pledge should I give you?” And she said, “Your seal and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.” And he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. (Gen 38:19) And she arose and went away, and removed her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood. (Gen 38:20) And Yehuḏah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Aḏullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand, but he did not find her. (Gen 38:21) And he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the cult prostitute who was beside the way to Ěnayim?” And they said, “There was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Gen 38:22) And he returned to Yehuḏah and said, “I have not found her. And the men of the place also said there was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Gen 38:23) And Yehuḏah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we become despised, for I sent this young goat and you have not found her.” (Gen 38:24)

Note how we all tend to judge others by their actions, but ourselves by our good intentions! We really should judge ourselves so YHWH does NOT!

And it came to be, about three months after that Yehuḏah was informed, saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has whored, and see, she has conceived by whoring.” And Yehuḏah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!” (Gen 38:25) When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please examine whose these are: the seal and the cord and the staff.” (Gen 38:26) And Yehuḏah examined and said, “She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shĕlah my son.” And he never knew her again. (Gen 38:27) And it came to be, at the time for giving birth that seeing, twins were in her womb. (Gen 38:28) And it came to be, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand. And the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” (Gen 38:29) And it came to be, as he drew back his hand that see, his brother came out! And she said, “How did you break through? This breach is upon you!” So his name was called Perets. (Gen 38:30) And afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. So his name was called Zeraḥ.

None can curse whom YHWH blesses and can bless what YHWH curses!

(Gen 39:1) And Yosĕph had been taken down to Mitsrayim. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, a Mitsrite, bought him from the Yishmaʽĕlites who had taken him down there. (Gen 39:2) And it came to be that יהוה was with Yosĕph, and he became a prosperous man, and was in the house of his master the Mitsrite. (Gen 39:3) And his master saw that יהוה was with him and that יהוה made all he did to prosper in his hand. (Gen 39:4) So Yosĕph found favor in his eyes, and served him, and he appointed him over his house, and gave into his hand all that he had. (Gen 39:5) And it came to be, from the time that he appointed him over his house and all that he had, that יהוה blessed the Mitsrite’s house for Yosĕph’s sake. And the blessing of יהוה was on all that he had in the house and in the field. (Gen 39:6) And he left in Yosĕph’s hand all that he had, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. And Yosĕph was handsome in form and appearance. (Gen 39:7) And after these events it came to be that his master’s wife lifted up her eyes to Yosĕph and said, “Lie with me.” (Gen 39:8) But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has given into my hand all that he has.

Note that Joseph does not offend Elohim by transgressing His Torah!

(Gen 39:9) “No one is greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld whatever from me but you, because you are his wife. And how shall I do this great evil and sin against Elohim?” (Gen 39:10) And it came to be, as she spoke to Yosĕph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her. (Gen 39:11) And it came to be on a certain day, when Yosĕph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, (Gen 39:12) that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. (Gen 39:13) And it came to be, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, (Gen 39:14) that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Heḇrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. (Gen 39:15) “And it came to be, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” (Gen 39:16) And she kept his garment with her until his master came home. (Gen 39:17) And she spoke to him these same words, saying, “The Heḇrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me, to mock me, (Gen 39:18) so it came to be, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.” (Gen 39:19) And it came to be, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me according to these words,” that his displeasure burned. (Gen 39:20) Then Yosĕph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the sovereign’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.

Hasatan tries to curse using his children but YHWH blesses His children (Those that obey Him and love Him) and makes a way for deliverance!

(Gen 39:21) But יהוה was with Yosĕph and extended kindness to him, and He gave him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. (Gen 39:22) And the prison warden gave into the hand of Yosĕph all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whatever was done there was his doing. (Gen 39:23) The prison warden did not look into any point that was under Yosĕph’s hand, because יהוה was with him. And whatever he did, יהוה made it prosper. (Gen 40:1) And after these events it came to be that the cupbearer and the baker of the sovereign of Mitsrayim sinned against their master, the sovereign of Mitsrayim. (Gen 40:2) And Pharaoh was wroth with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. (Gen 40:3) So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Yosĕph was a prisoner. (Gen 40:4) And the captain of the guard put Yosĕph in charge of them, and he served them. So they were in confinement for some time. (Gen 40:5) Then the cupbearer and the baker of the sovereign of Mitsrayim, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. (Gen 40:6) And Yosĕph came in to them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad. (Gen 40:7) And he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in confinement of his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?” (Gen 40:8) And they said to him, “We each have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” And Yosĕph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? Relate them to me, please.” (Gen 40:9) So the chief cupbearer related his dream to Yosĕph, and said to him, “See, in my dream a vine was before me, (Gen 40:10) and in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it budded – its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. (Gen 40:11) “And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. So I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” (Gen 40:12) And Yosĕph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. (Gen 40:13) “Yet, within three days Pharaoh is going to lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former ruling, when you were his cupbearer. (Gen 40:14) “But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me. And mention me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. (Gen 40:15) “Truly I was stolen away from the land of the Heḇrews. And also I have done naught that they should put me into the dungeon.” (Gen 40:16) And the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, and he said to Yosĕph, “I also was in my dream and saw three white baskets were on my head, (Gen 40:17) and in the uppermost basket all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.” (Gen 40:18) And Yosĕph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. (Gen 40:19) “Yet, within three days Pharaoh is going to lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from you.” (Gen 40:20) And on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, it came to be that he made a feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and of the chief baker among his servants, (Gen 40:21) and he restored the chief cupbearer to his post of cupbearer again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand, (Gen 40:22) but he hanged the chief baker, as Yosĕph had interpreted to them. (Gen 40:23) And the chief cupbearer did not remember Yosĕph, but forgot him.

Transgressors ruling will always try and stop YHWH’s word- In the USA today you cannot legally preach YHWH’s word against homosexuality!

(Amos 2:6) Thus said יהוה, “For three transgressions of Yisra’ĕl, and for four, I do not turn it back, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals, (Amos 2:7) who crush the head of the poor ones in the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father go in to the same girl, to defile my set-apart Name. (Amos 2:8) “And they lie down by every altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their mighty one they drink the wine of those who have been fined. (Amos 2:9) “Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars. And he was as strong as the oaks, yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath. (Amos 2:10) “And I brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. (Amos 2:11) “And I rose up some of your sons as prophets, and some of your young men as Nazirites. Not so? O you children of Yisra’ĕl?” declares יהוה. (Amos 2:12) “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’ (Amos 2:13) “See, I am weighed down by you, as a wagon is weighed down when filled with sheaves. (Amos 2:14) “And a place to flee shall perish from the swift, and the strong not strengthen his power, and the mighty not save his life, (Amos 2:15) and he who handles the bow not stand, and the swift of foot not save, nor he who rides a horse save his life, (Amos2:16) and the bravest among the mighty flee naked, in that day,” declares יהוה. (Amos 3:1) Hear this word that יהוה has spoken against you, O children of Yisra’ĕl, against the entire clan which I brought up from the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Amos 3:2) “You alone have I known of all the clans of the earth, therefore I punish you for all your crookednesses.” (Amos 3:3) Would two walk together, without having met? (Comment: other translations say agreed here- which Yahshua says He will not follow us-we have to get in agreement with Him and follow Him!) (Amos 3:4) Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion give forth his voice out of his den unless he has caught? (Amos 3:5) Does a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the earth, if it has not captured prey? (Amos 3:6) If a ram’s horn is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If there is calamity in a city, shall not יהוה have done it? (Amos 3:7) For the Master יהוה does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:8) A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה has spoken! Who would not prophesy?

Note a recurring problem: After victory testing is next!

(Judges 1:1) And it came to be, after the death of Yehoshua, that the children of Yisra’ĕl asked יהוה, saying, “Who of us should go up first against the Kenaʽanites to fight against them?” (Judges 1:2) And יהוה said, “Yehuḏah does go up. See, I have given the land into his hand.” (Judges 1:3) And Yehuḏah said to Shimʽon his brother, “Come up with me into my allotment, and let us fight against the Kenaʽanites. And I myself shall also go with you into your allotment.” So Shimʽon went with him. (Judges 1:4) And Yehuḏah went up, and יהוה gave the Kenaʽanites and the Perizzites into their hand. And they smote ten thousand men at Bezeq. (Judges 1:5) And they found Aḏoni-Ḇezeq in Bezeq, and fought against him, and smote the Kenaʽanites and the Perizzites. (Judges 1:6) But Aḏoni-Ḇezeq fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. (Judges 1:7) And Aḏoni-Ḇezeq said, “Seventy sovereigns with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather food under my table. As I have done, so Elohim has repaid me.” And they brought him to Yerushalayim, and he died there. (Judges 1:8) And the children of Yehuḏah fought against Yerushalayim and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. (Judges 1:9) And afterward the children of Yehuḏah went down to fight against the Kenaʽanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the South, and in the low country. (Judges 1:10) And Yehuḏah went against the Kenaʽanites who dwelt in Ḥeḇron – now the name of Ḥeḇron was formerly Qiryath Arba – and they smote Shĕshai, and Aḥiman, and Talmai. (Judges 1:11) And from there they went against the inhabitants of Deḇir – now the name of Deḇir was formerly Qiryath Sĕpher. (Judges 1:12) And Kalĕḇ said, “He who smites Qiryath Sĕpher, and shall capture it, to him I shall give my daughter Aḵsah as wife.” (Judges 1:13) And Othni’ĕl son of Qenaz, Kalĕḇ’s younger brother, captured it. And he gave him his daughter Aḵsah as wife. (Judges 1:14) And it came to be, when she came in, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And when she got off from her donkey, Kalĕḇ said to her, “What is the matter?” (Judges 1:15) And she said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So Kalĕḇ gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. (Judges 1:16) And the children of the Qĕynite, father-in-law of Mosheh, went up from the city of palms with the children of Yehuḏah into the Wilderness of Yehuḏah, which is in the Neḡeḇ of Araḏ. And they went and dwelt among the people. (Judges 1:17) And Yehuḏah went with Shimʽon his brother, and they smote the Kenaʽanites who inhabited Tsephath, and put it under the ban. So the name of the city was called Ḥormah. (Judges 1:18) And Yehuḏah captured Azzah and its border, and Ashqelon and its border, and Eqron and its border. (Judges 1:19) And יהוה was with Yehuḏah, so they took possession of the mountains, but they were unable to drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron. (Judges 1:20) And they gave Ḥeḇron to Kalĕḇ, as Mosheh had said, and he drove out from there the three sons of Anaq. (Judges 1:21) However, the children of Binyamin did not drive out the Yeḇusites who inhabited Yerushalayim, so the Yeḇusites have dwelt with the children of Binyamin in Yerushalayim to this day. (Judges 1:22) And the house of Yosĕph also went up against Bĕyth Ěl, and יהוה was with them. (Judges 1:23) And the house of Yosĕph sent men to spy out Bĕyth Ěl – now the name of the city was formerly Luz. (Judges 1:24) And the watchmen saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we shall show you kindness.” (Judges 1:25) So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword. But the man and all his clan they let go, (Judges 1:26) and the man went to the land of the Ḥittites and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

Do not mix the profane with the set apart! Yet Israel did just that!

(Judges 1:27) And Menashsheh did not dispossess Bĕyth She’an and its villages, nor Taʽanaḵ and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Yiḇleʽam and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Meḡiddo and its villages, for the Kenaʽanites desired to dwell in that land. (Judges 1:28) And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl was strong, that they put the Kenaʽanites into compulsory labor, but did not completely drive them out. (Judges 1:29) Neither did Ephrayim drive out the Kenaʽanites who dwelt in Gezer, so the Kenaʽanites dwelt in their midst, in Gezer. (Judges 1:30) Neither did Zeḇulun drive out the inhabitants of Qitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol, so the Kenaʽanites dwelt in their midst, and became compulsory labor. (Judges 1:31) Neither did Ashĕr drive out the inhabitants of Akko nor the inhabitants of Tsiḏon, nor of Aḥlaḇ, nor of Aḵziḇ, nor of Ḥelbah, nor of Aphiq, nor of Reḥoḇ. (Judges 1:32) So the Ashĕrites dwelt in the midst of the Kenaʽanites, the inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out. (Judges 1:33) Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bĕyth Shemesh nor the inhabitants of Bĕyth Anath, but they dwelt among the Kenaʽanites, the inhabitants of the land. And the inhabitants of Bĕyth Shemesh and of Bĕyth Anath became compulsory labor for them. (Judges 1:34) And the Amorites pressed the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley, (Judges 1:35) and the Amorites desired to dwell in Mount Ḥeres, in Ayalon, and in Shaʽalḇim. But when the hand of the house of Yosĕph became stronger, they became compulsory labor. (Judges 1:36) And the border of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Aqrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

Mixing profane with the set apart- we lose YHWH’s blessing- deliverance!

(Judges 2:1) And the Messenger of יהוה came up from Gilgal to Boḵim, and said, “I led you up from Mitsrayim and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers, and I said, ‘I do not break My covenant with you, (Judges 2:2) and as for you, do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land – break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? (Judges 2:3) “Therefore I also said, ‘I am not driving them out before you, and they shall be adversaries to you, and their mighty ones shall be a snare to you.’ ” (Judges 2:4) and it came to be, when the Messenger of יהוה spoke these words to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, that the people lifted up their voice and wept. (Judges 2:5) So they called the name of that place Boḵim, and slaughtered there to יהוה. (Judges 2:6) Then Yehoshua dismissed the people, and the children of Yisra’ĕl went each to his own inheritance to possess the land. (Judges 2:7) And the people served יהוה all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Yehoshua, who had seen all the great works of יהוה which He had done for Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 2:8) And Yehoshua son of Nun, the servant of יהוה, died one hundred and ten years old. (Judges 2:9) And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Ḥeres, in the mountains of Ephrayim, on the north side of Mount Gaʽash. (Judges 2:10) And all that generation were likewise gathered to their fathers, and another generation arose after them who did not know יהוה nor the work which He had done for Yisra’ĕl. (Judges 2:11) Then the children of Yisra’ĕl did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and served the Baʽals, (Judges 2:12) and forsook יהוה Elohim of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim, and went after other mighty ones, of the mighty ones of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them, and provoked יהוה. (Judges 2:13) So they forsook יהוה and served Baʽal and the Ashtoreths. (Comment: Astartes and Ashtoreths are Easter sex goddess fertility worship; hence Easter eggs and bunny rabbits like Playboy! This just MAY? Be considered learning the ways of the heathen and say we are worshipping Him that YHWH expressly has forbidden!) (Judges 2:14) And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl. Therefore He gave them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, and they were unable to stand before their enemies any longer. (Judges 2:15) Wherever they went out, the hand of יהוה was against them for evil, as יהוה had spoken, and as יהוה had sworn to them. And they were distressed – greatly. (Judges 2:16) Then יהוה rose up rulers who saved them from the hand of those who plundered them. (Judges 2:17) However, they did not listen to their rulers either, but went whoring after other mighty ones (gods), and bowed down to them. They soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commands of יהוה – they did not do so. (Judges 2:18) And when יהוה rose up rulers for them, יהוה was with the ruler and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the ruler, for יהוה had compassion on their groaning because of those who oppressed them and crushed them. (Judges 2:19) And it came to be, when the ruler was dead, that they would turn back and do more corruptly than their fathers, to go after other mighty ones, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not refrain from their practices and from their stubborn way. (Judges 2:20) And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl, and He said, “Because this nation has transgressed My covenant that I commanded their fathers, and has not obeyed My voice, (Judges 2:21) I also shall no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Yehoshua left when he died, (Judges 2:22) in order to try1 Yisra’ĕl by them, whether they would guard the way of יהוה, to walk in them as their fathers guarded them, or not.” Footnote: 1See at Deut. 8:2.

Note: If we will not choose to obey; YHWH will leave all our enemies also!

(Judges 2:23) So יהוה left those nations (heathen-goyim-gentiles), without driving them out at once, and did not give them into the hand of Yehoshua. (Judges 3:1) And these are the nations which יהוה left, to try Yisra’ĕl by them, all those who had not known all the battles in Kenaʽan, (Judges 3:2) only that the generations of the children of Yisra’ĕl might know, to teach them battle, only those who before did not know them: (Judges 3:3) five princes of the Philistines, and all the Kenaʽanites, and the Tsiḏonians, and the Ḥiwwites who dwelt in Mount Leḇanon, from Mount Baʽal Ḥermon to the entrance of Ḥamath. (Judges 3:4) And they were to try Yisra’ĕl by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of יהוה, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Mosheh. (Judges 3:5) Thus the children of Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the midst of the Kenaʽanites, the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, (Judges 3:6) and took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and they served their mighty ones. (Judges 3:7) Thus the children of Yisra’ĕl did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and forgot יהוה their Elohim, and served the Baʽals and the Ashĕrahs. (Judges 3:8) And the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl, and He sold them into the hand of Kushan-Rishʽathayim sovereign of Aram Naharayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl served Kushan-Rishʽathayim eight years. (Judges 3:9) And when the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה, יהוה raised up a savior for the children of Yisra’ĕl, who saved them: Othni’ĕl son of Qenaz, Kalĕḇ’s younger brother. (Judges 3:10) And the Spirit of יהוה came upon him, and he ruled Yisra’ĕl, and went out to battle, and יהוה gave into his hand Kushan-Rishʽathayim sovereign of Aram Naharayim. And his hand prevailed over Kushan-Rishʽathayim, (Judges 3:11) and the land had rest for forty years. Then Othni’ĕl son of Qenaz died, (Judges 3:12) and the children of Yisra’ĕl again did evil in the eyes of יהוה. And יהוה made Eḡlon sovereign of Mo’aḇ strong against Yisra’ĕl, because they had done evil in the eyes of יהוה. (Judges 3:13) And he gathered to himself the children of Ammon and Amalĕq, and went and smote Yisra’ĕl, and they took possession of the city of palms. (Judges 3:14) The children of Yisra’ĕl served Eḡlon, sovereign of Mo’aḇ for eighteen years. (Judges 3:15) And when the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה, יהוה raised up a savior for them: Ěhuḏ son of Gĕra, a Binyamite, a man impeded in his right hand. And by him, the children of Yisra’ĕl sent a present to Eḡlon sovereign of Mo’aḇ. (Judges 3:16) And Ěhuḏ made himself a sword, it was double-edged and a cubit in length, and he girded it under his long robe on his right thigh. (Judges 3:17) And he brought the present to Eḡlon sovereign of Mo’aḇ. Now Eḡlon was a very fat man. (Judges 3:18) And it came to be that when he had finished bringing near the present, he sent away the people bearing the present. (Judges 3:19) But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O sovereign.” And he said, “Be silent!” And all those standing beside him went out from him. (Judges 3:20) And Ěhuḏ came to him while he was sitting in his cool roof room. And Ěhuḏ said, “I have a message from Elohim for you.” So he arose from his seat. (Judges 3:21) And Ěhuḏ reached with his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his stomach. (Judges 3:22) And the handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his stomach, and it came out behind. (Judges 3:23) Then Ěhuḏ went out to the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them. (Judges 3:24) And when he had gone out, his servants came to look and saw the doors of the roof room were locked. So they said, “He is only covering his feet in the cool roof room.” (Judges 3:25) And they waited until they were ashamed, but saw he was not opening the doors of the upper room. So they took the key and opened them and saw their master, fallen to the ground, dead.

REPENT and Obey YHWH- And once again He is our deliverer!

(Judges 3:26) But while they were delaying Ěhuḏ escaped and had passed beyond the stone images, and escaped to Seʽirah. (Judges 3:27) And it came to be, when he arrived, that he blew the ram’s horn in the mountains of Ephrayim, and the children of Yisra’ĕl went down with him from the mountains, with him leading them. (Judges 3:28) And he said to them, “Follow me, for יהוה has given your enemies the Mo’aḇites into your hand.” And they went down after him, and took the fords of Yardĕn leading to Mo’aḇ, and did not allow anyone to pass over. (Judges 3:29) And they smote about ten thousand men of Mo’aḇ at that time, all robust and brave men, and not a man escaped. (Judges 3:30) And on that day Mo’aḇ was humbled under the hand of Yisra’ĕl. And the land had rest for eighty years. (Judges 3:31) And after him was Shamgar son of Anath, and he smote six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. And he too saved Yisra’ĕl.

Loved Ones, thank you for your earnest intercession as we pray and fast seeking our Father’s direction, provision, and protection from the Chief Shepherd, Messiah Yahshua, as we must listen (hear) and obey! Your prayers will be returned answered for your own loved ones as you have diligently covered us that we may have direction, provision and His protection. As long as there is Heaven and Earth there will remain Seedtime and Harvest! What you plant you will reap. Keep sowing and planting with thanksgiving and you will reap a harvest. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You are the most diligent and mighty men and women of the faith on the planet! You indeed are doers of the word; unlike those that hear only and deceive themselves!

Shalom to your home,

Who is FAMILY?

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Truth Seekers, we have studied and reviewed much about the coming darkness and fiery trials we can expect in the days ahead. Please do remember the Scriptures declare this Exodus will be a far greater deliverance than even Moses and Israel crossing the Red Sea. Thank you for your prayers and intercession as I am meeting part of our family of loved ones in Namibia and they are delightful people indeed! They are Ephraim of German, Dutch, and fewer numbers of French and British descents! You would love them, no doubt!Once again we need to remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers?

(Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH! /Instructions) we are Yahshua’s (Jesus) family!

We should also realize a truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jer 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles 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.

(Deu 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.

Can we even imagine thinking we were serving YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of lawlessness- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually were disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This experience would and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth, into the flames of hell! Heaven- Oh Yah- Change us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight!

There it is in a nutshell once again. You are family if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions. This group would include us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

We must be willing to humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

How do we hunger and thirst for righteousness?

(James 4:7) So then subject (submit/humble) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil1 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. You and I must change and receive the engrafted word of LIFE, (HUMBLE OURSELVES) turn in repentance and OBEY HIM. We can no longer say we love Him and not do what He says! (Luke 6:46) And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Do you call Him Lord and Master but not obey Him? Are we of those that think His LAW (Commentary: Law was translated that but it is Torah-Instructions in Hebrew) is done away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that position! The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled down to the day and hour! He was the Passover Lamb, 3 days later the High Priest was still in seclusion as was prescribed of the High Priest prior to offering the thanksgiving for the first fruits of the Earth, when He said “Don’t touch me Mary, I have not yet ascended to My Father.” He is and was the High Priest! Seven sevens (weeks) later He sent the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) on Shavuot, the anniversary of giving the Torah (Law) at Mt. Sinai. He came the first time to be Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering servant to be the Lamb of YHWH (God) sacrifice.

He is coming a second time very soon as Messiah Ben David, the Reigning King! He will rule His Kingdom from Jerusalem! Is He now ruling? NO. It is not all fulfilled! Let’s look at what Yahshua said about the Law being done away with and WHEN this will occur! (Mat 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Mat 5:18) For verily I say unto you, until heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Even to us casual observers, heaven and earth have not passed! Let’s acknowledge that fact as a truth and return to Him as we study this week’s portion and allow Him to restore ALL things- especially us!

(Jer 30:3) 'For behold, days are coming,' declares YHWH, 'when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah.' (Comment: this means you and I who are grafted into Israel by grace by faith in Yahshua and are heirs now of Abraham according to the promise) YHWH says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'" (Jer 30:16) 'Therefore all who devour you will be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; and those who plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will give for prey. (Jer 30:17) 'For I will restore you to health and I will heal you of your wounds,' declares YHWH, 'because they have called you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."' (Jer 30:18) "Thus says YHWH, 'Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, and the palace will stand on its rightful place. (Jer 30:19) 'From them will proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who celebrate; and I will multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. (Jer 30:20) 'Their children also will be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their oppressors. (Jer 30:21) 'Their leader shall be one of them, and their ruler shall come forth from their midst; and I will bring him near and he shall approach me; for who would dare to risk his life to approach me?' declares YHWH. (Jer 30:22) 'You shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.'"

Here are the Torah Scriptures this week: Vayishlach “And He sent”

Genesis 32:4-36:43; Obadiah 1:1-21; Hosea 11:7-12:14

Joshua Chapters 22, 23, and 24

Esau is coming with 400 armed men to give Jacob the KISS OF DEATH! Please note that Jacob plans ahead and gives a blessing to Esau that the last of the caravan may survive. Note also who is in front (will come under attack first) and who is reserved (Rachel’s whom he loved- Joseph or the seed of Ephraim who are now the scattered tribes or lost sheep of Israel that Messiah Yahshua said He came for) It appears that you and I were so into Easter (fertility worship traditions); Lent (40 days of weeping for Tammuz); and bowing to the sun-god (Sunday worship, Christmas trees, and December 25th birthday of every sun god on the planet) that we were unrecognizable by the devil as his enemies. Not so in the future, as there will only be a remnant that repents that hasatan makes war against: those that keep His commandments and have the testimony of Yahshua!

(Gen 32:4) and he commanded them, saying, “Say this to my master Ěsaw, ‘Your servant Yaʽaqoḇ said this, “I have sojourned with Laḇan and stayed there until now. (Gen 32:5) “And I have bulls, and donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants. And I have sent to inform my master, to find favor in your eyes.” ’ ” (Gen 32:6) so the messengers returned to Yaʽaqoḇ, saying, we came to your brother Ěsaw, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.” (Gen 32:7) And Yaʽaqoḇ was greatly afraid and distressed. So he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups, (Gen 32:8) and he said, “If Ěsaw comes to the one group and attacks it, then the other group which is left shall escape.”

Here Jacob puts YHWH’s promises in remembrance- something we should do also!

(Gen 32:9) And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “O Elohim of my father Aḇraham and Elohim of my father Yitsḥaq, יהוה who said to me, ‘Return to your land and to your relatives, and I do well to you,’ (Gen 32:10) “I do not deserve the least of all the kind acts and all the truth which you have shown your servant, for I passed over this Yardĕn with my staff, and now I have become two groups. (Gen 32:11) “Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Ěsaw, for I fear him, lest he come and shall smite me and the mother with the children. (Gen 32:12) “For you said, ‘I shall certainly do well to you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ” (Gen 32:13) And he spent the night there, and took what came to his hand as a present for Ěsaw his brother – (Gen 32:14) two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, (Gen 32:15) thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. (Gen 32:16) And he gave into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between drove and drove.” (Gen 32:17) And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Ěsaw my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘to whom do you belong, and where are you going? And whose are these in front of you?’ (Gen 32:18) then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Yaʽaqoḇ’s. It is a present sent to my master Ěsaw. And see, he also is behind us.’ ” (Gen 32:19) So he commanded the second, and the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “Speak to Ěsaw this same word when you find him, (Gen 32:20) and you shall say, ‘Also look, your servant Yaʽaqoḇ is behind us.’ ” For he said, “Let me appease him with the present that goes before me, and after that see his face. He might accept me.” (Gen 32:21) And the present passed over before him, but he himself spent the night in the camp. (Gen 32:22) And he rose up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Yabboq. (Gen 32:23) And he took them and sent them over the stream, and sent over what he had.

Wrestling with YHWH who knew his name but wanted to make a point that faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17) by renaming him Overcomer! This place of “wrestling with YHWH” is a place we will all arrive at soon as the fiery trials will bring us to our knees as we MUST seek Him or die!

(Gen 32:24) And Yaʽaqoḇ was left alone. And a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. (Gen 32:25) And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of his hip. And the socket of Yaʽaqoḇ’s hip was dislocated as He wrestled with him. (Gen 32:26) And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting you go until you have blessed me!” (Gen 32:27) So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Yaʽaqoḇ.” (Gen 32:28) And He said, “Your name is no longer called Yaʽaqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl1, because you have striven with Elohim and with men, and have overcome.” Footnote: 1Yisra’ĕl means “to strive with Ěl, to overcome with Ěl, (then) to rule with Ěl” (Gen 32:29) And Yaʽaqoḇ asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name?” And He blessed him there. (Gen 32:30) And Yaʽaqoḇ called the name of the place Peni’ĕl, “For I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.” (Gen 32:31) And the sun rose on him as he passed over Penu’ĕl, and he limped on his hip. (Gen 32:32) That is why the children of Yisra’ĕl to this day do not eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the socket of the thigh, because He touched the socket of the thigh of Yaʽaqoḇ, in the sinew of the hip. (Gen 33:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ lifted his eyes and looked and saw Ěsaw coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children among Lĕ’ah, and Raḥĕl, and the two female servants. (Gen 33:2) And he put the female servants and their children in front, and Lĕ’ah and her children behind, and Raḥĕl and Yosĕph last. (Gen 33:3) And he himself passed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

This kiss is known as the kiss of death. You don’t need 400 armed men to welcome your brother. Note he took the gifts.

(Gen 33:4) And Ěsaw ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. (Gen 33:5) And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children with whom Elohim has favored your servant.” (Gen 33:6) Then the female servants came near, they and their children, and bowed themselves. (Gen 33:7) And Lĕ’ah also came near with her children, and they bowed themselves. And Yosĕph and Raḥĕl came near, and they bowed themselves. (Gen 33:8) Then Ěsaw said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” And he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Gen 33:9) But Ěsaw said, “I have enough, my brother, let what you have remain yours.” (Gen 33:10) And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your eyes, then receive my present from my hand, because I have seen your face like seeing the face of Elohim, and you were pleased with me. (Gen 33:11) “Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because Elohim has favored me, and because I have all I need.” And he urged him, and he took it. (Gen 33:12) And he said, “Let us depart and go, and let me go before you.” (Gen 33:13) But he said to him, “My master knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flocks shall die. (Gen 33:14) “Please let my master go before his servant and let me lead on slowly according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Sĕʽir.” (Gen 33:15) And Ěsaw said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “Why this? Let me find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Gen 33:16) And Ěsaw returned that day on his way to Sĕʽir. (Gen 33:17) And Yaʽaqoḇ set out to Sukkoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. That is why the name of the place is called Sukkoth. (Gen 33:18) And Yaʽaqoḇ came safely to the city of Sheḵem, which is in the land of Kenaʽan, when he came from Paddan Aram. And he pitched his tent before the city. (Gen 33:19) And he bought the portion of the field where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Ḥamor, Sheḵem’s father, for one hundred qesitah. (Gen 33:20) And he set up an altar there and called it Ěl Elohĕ Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 34:1) And Dinah, the daughter of Lĕ’ah, whom she had borne to Yaʽaqoḇ, went out to see the daughters of the land. (Gen 34:2) And Sheḵem, son of Ḥamor the Ḥiwwite, prince of the land, saw her and took her and lay with her, and humbled her. (Gen 34:3) And his being clung to Dinah the daughter of Yaʽaqoḇ, and he loved the girl and spoke kindly to the girl. (Gen 34:4) And Sheḵem spoke to his father Ḥamor, saying, “Take this girl for me for a wife.” (Gen 34:5) And Yaʽaqoḇ heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Yaʽaqoḇ kept silent until they came. (Gen 34:6) And Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem, went out to Yaʽaqoḇ to speak with him. (Gen 34:7) And the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very wroth, because he had done a senseless deed in Yisra’ĕl by lying with Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter, which should not be done. (Gen 34:8) But Ḥamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Sheḵem’s being longs for your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife. (Gen 34:9) “And intermarry with us, give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves, (Gen 34:10) and dwell with us, and let the land be before you. Dwell and move about in it, and have possessions in it.” (Gen 34:11) And Sheḵem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I give. (Gen 34:12) “Ask of me a bride price and gift ever so high, and I give according to what you say to me, but give me the girl for a wife.”

This act of deceit and cruelness and “overriding” their father’s position to make decisions gets brings judgment later!

(Gen 34:13) But the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ answered Sheḵem and Ḥamor his father, and spoke with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. (Gen 34:14) And they said to them, “We are not able to do this matter, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us. (Gen 34:15) “Only on this condition would we agree to you: If you become as we are, to have every male of you circumcised, (Gen 34:16) then we shall give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us. And we shall dwell with you, and shall become one people. (Gen 34:17) “But if you do not listen to us and be circumcised, we shall take our daughter and go.” (Gen 34:18) And their words pleased Ḥamor and Sheḵem, Ḥamor’s son. (Gen 34:19) And the young man did not delay to do this because he delighted in Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father. (Gen 34:20) And Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying, (Gen 34:21) “These men are at peace with us, so let them dwell in the land and move about in it. And see, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters for us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. (Gen 34:22) “Only on this condition would the men agree to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. (Gen 34:23) “Their herds and their possessions, and all their beasts, should they not be ours? Only let us agree with them, and let them dwell with us.” (Gen 34:24) And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son; every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. (Gen 34:25) And it came to be on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, Shimʽon and Lĕwi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. (Gen 34:26) And they killed Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Sheḵem’s house, and went out. (Gen 34:27) The sons of Yaʽaqoḇ came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. (Gen 34:28) They took their flocks and their herds, and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field, (Gen 34:29) and all their wealth. And all their little ones and their wives they took captive, and they plundered all that was in the houses.

Time for repentance and ridding ourselves of pagan gods and traditions- time to face and worship YHWH!

(Gen 34:30) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Shimʽon and Lĕwi, “You have troubled me by making me a stench among the inhabitants of the land, among the Kenaʽanites and the Perizzites. And I am few in number, they shall gather themselves against me and shall smite me, and I shall be destroyed, my household and I.” (Gen 34:31) But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a whore?” (Gen 35:1) And Elohim said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Arise, go up to Bĕyth Ěl and dwell there. And make an altar there to Ěl that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Ěsaw your brother.” (Gen 35:2) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign mighty ones that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments. (Gen 35:3) “And let us arise and go up to Bĕyth Ěl, and let me make there an altar to Ěl, which answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” (Gen 35:4) So they gave Yaʽaqoḇ all the foreign mighty ones which were in their hands, and all their earrings which were in their ears. And Yaʽaqoḇ hid them under the terebinth tree which was near Sheḵem. (Gen 35:5) And they departed, and the fear of Elohim was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ. (Gen 35:6) And Yaʽaqoḇ came to Luz that is Bĕyth Ěl, which is in the land of Kenaʽan, he and all the people who were with him. (Gen 35:7) And he built there an altar and called the place El Bĕyth Ěl, because there Elohim appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. (Gen 35:8) And Deḇorah, Riḇqah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bĕyth Ěl under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Baḵuth. (Gen 35:9) And Elohim appeared to Yaʽaqoḇ again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him. (Gen 35:10) And Elohim said to him, “Your name is Yaʽaqoḇ, your name is no longer called Yaʽaqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl is your name.” So He called his name Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 35:11) And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and sovereigns come from your body. (Gen 35:12) “And the land which I gave Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq I give to you. And to your seed after you I give this land.” (Gen 35:13) And Elohim went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him. (Gen 35:14) And Yaʽaqoḇ set up a standing column in the place where He had spoken with him, a monument of stone. And he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. (Gen 35:15) And Yaʽaqoḇ called the name of the place where Elohim spoke with him, Bĕyth Ěl. (Gen 35:16) then they set out from Bĕyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥĕl began to give birth, and had great difficulty giving birth. (Gen 35:17) And it came to be, as she was having great difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is another son for you.” (Gen 35:18) And it came to be, as her life was going out – for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him Binyamin. (Gen 35:19) So Raḥĕl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath that is Bĕyth Leḥem. (Gen 35:20) And Yaʽaqoḇ set a standing column on her grave, which is the monument of Raḥĕl’s grave to this day. (Gen 35:21) And Yisra’ĕl set out and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Ěḏer. (Gen 35:22) And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl dwelt in that land, that Re’uḇĕn went and laid with Bilhah his father’s concubine. (Comment: another loses his inheritance!) And Yisra’ĕl heard about it. Now the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ were twelve: (Gen 35:23) the sons of Lĕ’ah were Re’uḇĕn, Yaʽaqoḇ’s first-born, and Shimʽon, and Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah, and Yissasḵar, and Zeḇulun; (Gen 35:24) the sons of Raḥĕl were Yosĕph and Binyamin; (Gen 35:25) the sons of Bilhah, Raḥĕl’s female servant, were Dan and Naphtali; (Gen 35:26) and the sons of Zilpah, Lĕ’ah’s female servant, were Gaḏ and Ashĕr. These were the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ who were born to him in Paddan Aram. (Gen 35:27) And Yaʽaqoḇ came to his father Yitsḥaq at Mamrĕ, or Qiryath Arba, that is Ḥeḇron, where Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq had dwelt. (Gen 35:28) And the days of Yitsḥaq were one hundred and eighty years. (Gen 35:29) So Yitsḥaq breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people, aged and satisfied of days. And his sons Ěsaw and Yaʽaqoḇ buried him.

Note that Esau took his wives (IN direct disobedience) from Caanan!

(Gen 36:1) And this is the genealogy of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom. (Gen 36:2) Ěsaw took his wives from the daughters of Kenaʽan: Aḏah the daughter of Ělon the Ḥittite, and Oholiḇamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Tsiḇʽon the Ḥiwwite; (Gen 36:3) and Basemath, Yishmaʽĕl’s daughter, sister of Neḇayoth. (Gen 36:4) And Aḏah bore Eliphaz to Ěsaw, and Basemath bore Reʽuw’ĕl. (Gen 36:5) And Oholiḇamah bore Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam, and Qoraḥ. These were the sons of Ěsaw who were born to him in the land of Kenaʽan. (Gen 36:6) And Ěsaw took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the beings of his household, and his herds and all his beasts, and all his possessions which he had gained in the land of Kenaʽan, and went to a land away from the presence of his brother Yaʽaqoḇ. (Gen 36:7) Their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their sojourning could not support them because of their herds. (Gen 36:8) So Ěsaw dwelt in Mount Sĕʽir. Ěsaw is Eḏom. (Gen 36:9) And this is the genealogy of Ěsaw the father of the Eḏomites in Mount Sĕʽir. (Gen 36:10) These were the names of Ěsaw’s sons: Eliphaz son of Aḏah, wife of Ěsaw, and Reʽuw’ĕl son of Basemath, wife of Ěsaw.

(Gen 36:11) And the sons of Eliphaz were Tĕman, Omar, Tsepho, and Gatam, and Qenaz. (Gen 36:12) And Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Ěsaw’s son, and she bore Amalĕq to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Aḏah, Ěsaw’s wife. (Gen 36:13) These were the sons of Reʽuw’ĕl: Naḥath and Zeraḥ, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Ěsaw’s wife. (Gen 36:14) These were the sons of Oholiḇamah, Ěsaw’s wife, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Tsiḇʽon. And she bore to Ěsaw: Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam, and Qoraḥ. (Gen 36:15) These were the chiefs of the sons of Ěsaw. The sons of Eliphaz, the first-born son of Ěsaw, were Chief Tĕman, Chief Omar, Chief Tsepho, Chief Qenaz, (Gen 36:16) Chief Qoraḥ, Chief Gatam, Chief Amalĕq. These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Eḏom. They were the sons of Aḏah. (Gen 36:17) And these were the sons of Reʽuw’ĕl, Ěsaw’s son: Chief Naḥath, Chief Zeraḥ, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reʽuw’ĕl in the land of Eḏom. These were the sons of Basemath, Ěsaw’s wife. (Gen 36:18) And these were the sons of Oholiḇamah, Ěsaw’s wife: Chief Yeʽush, Chief Yaʽlam, and Chief Qoraḥ. These were the chiefs descending from Oholiḇamah, Ěsaw’s wife, the daughter of Anah. (Gen 36:19) These were the sons of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom, and these were their chiefs. (Gen 36:20) These were the sons of Sĕʽir the Ḥorite who inhabited the land: Lotan, and Shoḇal, and Tsiḇʽon, and Anah, (Gen 36:21) and Dishon, and Ětser, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites, the sons of Sĕʽir, in the land of Eḏom. (Gen 36:22) And the sons of Lotan were Ḥori and Hĕmam. Lotan’s sister was Timna. (Gen 36:23) And these were the sons of Shoḇal: Alwan, and Manaḥath, and Ěyḇal, Shepho, and Onam. (Gen 36:24) And these were the sons of Tsiḇʽon: both Ayah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the water in the wilderness as he fed the donkeys of his father Tsiḇʽon. (Gen 36:25) And these were the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholiḇamah the daughter of Anah. (Gen 36:26) And these were the sons of Dishon: Ḥemdan, and Eshban, and Yithran, and Keran. (Gen 36:27) These were the sons of Ětser: Bilhan, and Zaʽawan, and Aqan. (Gen 36:28) These were the sons of Dishan: Uts and Aran. (Gen 36:29) These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites: Chief Lotan, Chief Shoḇal, Chief Tsiḇʽon, Chief Anah, (Gen 36:30) Chief Dishon, Chief Ětser, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites, according to their chiefs in the land of Sĕʽir. (Gen 36:31) And these were the sovereigns who reigned in the land of Eḏom before any sovereign reigned over the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 36:32) And Bela the son of Beʽor reigned in Eḏom, and the name of his city was Dinhaḇah. (Gen 36:33) And Bela died, and Yoḇaḇ son of Zeraḥ of Botsrah reigned in his place. (Gen 36:34) And Yoḇaḇ died, and Ḥusham of the land of the Tĕmanites reigned in his place. (Gen 36:35) And Ḥusham died, and Haḏaḏ son of Beḏaḏ, who smote Miḏyan in the field of Mo’aḇ, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Awith. (Gen 36:36) And Haḏaḏ died, and Samlah of Masrĕqah reigned in his place. (Gen 36:37) And Samlah died, and Sha’ul of Reḥoḇoth by the River reigned in his place. (Gen 36:38) And Sha’ul died, and Baʽal-Ḥanan son of Aḵbor reigned in his place. (Gen 36:39) And Baʽal-Ḥanan son of Aḵbor died, and Haḏar reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Paʽu. And his wife’s name was Mehĕtab’ĕl, the daughter of Matrĕḏ, the daughter of Mĕyzahaḇ. (Gen 36:40) And these were the names of the chiefs of Ěsaw, according to their clans and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alwah, Chief Yethĕth, (Gen 36:41) Chief Oholiḇamah, Chief Ělah, Chief Pinon, (Gen 36:42) Chief Qenaz, Chief Tĕman, Chief Miḇtsar, (Gen 36:43) Chief Maḡdi’ĕl, Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Eḏom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Ěsaw was the father of the Eḏomites.

Okay- Let’s look at what YHWH declares about Esau’s disobedience and continuing shedding of innocent blood!

(Oba 1:1) The vision of Oḇaḏyah: This is what the Master יהוה said concerning Eḏom. We have heard a report from יהוה, and a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle!” (Oba 1:2) “See, I have made you small among the nations, you are greatly despised. (Oba 1:3) “The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose dwelling is high, who says in your heart, ‘Who shall bring me down to the ground?’ (Oba 1:4) “Though you raise high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I shall bring you down,” declares יהוה. (Oba 1:5) “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night, how ruined you would have been! Would they not steal till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, would they not leave gleanings? (Oba 1:6) “How Ěsaw shall be searched out! His hidden treasures shall be sought out! (Oba 1:7) “All your allies shall send you forth to the border; your friends shall deceive you and overpower you. They make your bread a snare under you, without you discerning it! (Oba 1:8) “In that day,” (Comment: In that day is a Hebrew idiom for the Day of Jacob’s Trouble also known as The Day of the Lord!) declares יהוה, “I shall destroy the wise men from Eḏom, and discernment from the mountains of Ěsaw! (Oba 1:9) “And your mighty men shall be discouraged, O Tĕman, so that everyone from the mountains of Ěsaw is cut off by slaughter. (Oba 1:10) “Because of your violence against your brother Yaʽaqoḇ, let shame cover you. And you shall be cut off forever. (Oba 1:11) “In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers took captive his wealth, when foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Yerushalayim, you also were like one of them! (Oba 1:12) “And you should not have looked on your brother’s day in the day of his estrangement, nor rejoiced over the children of Yehuḏah in the day of their destruction, nor made your mouth great in the day of distress, (Oba 1:13) nor have entered the gate of My people in the day of their calamity, nor looked down on their evil in the day of their calamity, nor have seized their wealth in the day of their calamity, (Oba 1:14) nor have stood at the parting of the way to cut off his fugitives, nor handed over his survivors in the day of distress. (Oba 1:15) “For the day of יהוה is near upon all the gentiles. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall come back on your own head. (Oba 1:16) “For as you have drunk on my set-apart mountain, so do all the gentiles drink continually. And they shall drink and shall swallow, and they shall be as though they had never been. (Oba 1:17) “But on Mount Tsiyon there shall be an escape1, and they shall be set-apart. And the house of Yaʽaqoḇ shall possess their possessions. Footnote: 1Isa. 4:2-3, Joel 2:32, Rev. 14:1.

The House of Jacob (Israel) is all twelve Tribes but the House of Joseph is referring to Ephraim the scattered all over the Earth tribes who are now being restored!

(Oba 1:18) “And the house of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be a fire, and the house of Yosĕph a flame, but the house of Ěsaw for stubble. And they shall burn among them and they shall consume them, so that no survivor is left of the house of Ěsaw.” For יהוה has spoken. (Oba 1:19) And they shall possess the South with the mountains of Ěsaw, and low country with the Philistines. And they shall possess the fields of Ephrayim and the fields of Shomeron, and Binyamin with Gilʽaḏ, (Oba 1:20) and the exiles of this host of the children of Yisra’ĕl possess that of the Kenaʽanites as far as Tsarephath, and the exiles of Yerushalayim who are in Sepharaḏ possess the cities of the South. (Oba 1:21) And saviors shall come to Mount Tsiyon to judge the mountains of Ěsaw. And the reign shall belong to יהוה1. Footnote: 1Ps. 2:8, Ps. 22:28, Dan. 2:44, Dan. 7:13-14 & 27, Zech. 14: 9, Rev. 11:15, Rev. 12:10.

Note from the west they will tremble! (USA?) Why? Because rockets fly to the land of the liars and thieves according to Zech 5! See His mercy as Aḏmah and Zeboim were the other 2 cities of the plains destroyed with Sodom and Gomorah!

(Hosea 11:7) “My people are bent towards backsliding from me. Though they call to the Most High, He lifts none of them up. (Hosea 11:8) “How could I give you up, Ephrayim? How could I hand you over, Yisra’ĕl? How could I make you like Aḏmah? How could I set you like Tseḇoyim? My heart turns within me, all my compassion is kindled. (Hosea 11:9) “I shall not let the heat of my wrath burn; I shall not turn to destroy Ephrayim. I am Ěl, and not man, the Set-apart One in your midst, and I shall not come in enmity. (Hosea 11:10) “Let them follow יהוה. Like a lion He roars. When He roars, then sons shall tremble from the west. (Hosea 11:11) “They shall tremble like a bird from Mitsrayim, and like a dove from the land of Ashshur. And I shall let them dwell in their own houses,” declares יהוה. (Hosea 11:12) “Ephrayim has surrounded me with lying, and the house of Yisra’ĕl with deceit. But Yehuḏah is still wandering with Ěl, and is true to the Set-apart One.” (Hosea 12:1) Ephrayim is feeding on wind, and pursuing an east wind. All the day he increases falsehood and ruin. And they make a covenant with Ashshur, and oil is sent to Mitsrayim. (Hosea 12:2) And יהוה has a controversy with Yehuḏah, to punish Yaʽaqoḇ according to his ways, to repay him according to his deeds. (Hosea 12:3) He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he strove with Elohim. (Hosea 12:4) He strove with the Messenger and overcame1; he wept and sought His favor. He found Him in Bĕyth Ěl, and there He spoke to us – Footnote: 1Gen. 32:28. (Hosea 12:5) even יהוה Elohim of hosts, יהוה is His remembrance. (Hosea 12:6) Therefore, return to your Elohim. Guard kindness and right-ruling, and wait on your Elohim continually. (Hosea 12:7) A merchant! In his hand are scales of deceit, he loved to oppress. (Hosea 12:8) And Ephrayim says, “Indeed, I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find in me no crookedness that is sin.” (Comment: this sounds like Babylon the whore who says no wickedness will befall me!) (Hosea 12:9) “But I am יהוה your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, again I shall make you dwell in tents as in the days of the appointed time1. Footnote: 1Or festival. (Hosea 12:10) “And I have spoken to the prophets, and have increased visions. And through the prophets I gave parables.” (Hosea 12:11) Is Gilʽaḏ wicked? Certainly, they have been false! In Gilgal they have offered bulls. Also their altars are as heaps on a ploughed field. (Hosea 12:12) And when Yaʽaqoḇ fled to the country of Aram, Yisra’ĕl served for a wife, and for a wife he kept watch. (Hosea 12:13) And by a prophet יהוה brought Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, and by a prophet he was watched over. (Hosea 12:14) Ephrayim has provoked most bitterly. So his Master left his blood-guilt on him, and repaid him for his reproach.

(Jos 22:1) Then Yehoshua called for the Re’uḇĕnites, and the Gaḏites, and half the tribe of Menashsheh, (Jos 22:2) and said to them, “You, you have guarded all that Mosheh the servant of יהוה commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. (Jos 22:3) “You have not left your brothers these many days, up to this day, but have guarded the Charge, the command of יהוה your Elohim. (Jos 22:4) “And now יהוה your Elohim has given rest to your brothers, as He promised them. So now, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Mosheh the servant of יהוה gave you beyond the Yardĕn. (Jos 22:5) “Only, diligently guard to do the command and the Torah which Mosheh the servant of יהוה commanded you, to love יהוה your Elohim, and to walk in all His ways, and to guard His commands, and to cling to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your being.”

(Jos 22:6) And Yehoshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

(Jos 22:7) And to half the tribe of Menashsheh Mosheh had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Yehoshua gave land among their brothers beyond the Yardĕn, westward. So when Yehoshua sent them away to their tents, he also blessed them, (Jos 22:8) and spoke to them, saying, “Return to your tents with great riches, and with very much livestock, and with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with countless garments. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.” (Jos 22:9) And the children of Re’uḇĕn, and the children of Gaḏ, and half the tribe of Menashsheh returned, and left the children of Yisra’ĕl at Shiloh, which is in the land of Kenaʽan, to go to the land of Gilʽaḏ, to the land of their possession, which they possessed according to the command of יהוה by the hand of Mosheh. (Jos 22:10) And they came to the districts of the Yardĕn which is in the land of Kenaʽan, and the children of Re’uḇĕn, and the children of Gaḏ, and half the tribe of Menashsheh built an altar there by the Yardĕn, a great conspicuous altar. (Jos 22:11) When the children of Yisra’ĕl heard it they said, “See, the children of Re’uḇĕn, and the children of Gaḏ, and half the tribe of Menashsheh have built an altar opposite the land of Kenaʽan, in the districts of the Yardĕn, at the border of the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Jos 22:12) When the children of Yisra’ĕl heard, all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl assembled at Shiloh to go to fight against them. (Jos 22:13) So the children of Yisra’ĕl sent Pineḥas son of Elʽazar the priest to the children of Re’uḇĕn, and to the children of Gaḏ, and to half the tribe of Menashsheh, into the land of Gilʽaḏ, (Jos 22:14) and ten rulers with him, one ruler each from the chief house of every tribe of Yisra’ĕl. And each one was the head of the house of his father among the divisions of Yisra’ĕl. (Jos 22:15) And they came to the children of Re’uḇĕn and to the children of Gaḏ, and to half the tribe of Menashsheh, to the land of Gilʽaḏ, and spoke with them, saying, (Jos 22:16) “Thus says all the congregation of יהוה, ‘What is this trespass you have committed against the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, to turn away this day from following יהוה, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, to rebel against יהוה this day? (Jos 22:17) ‘Is the crookedness of Peʽor not enough for us, from which we have not been cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of יהוה, (Jos 22:18) that you turn away today from following יהוה? And it shall be, if you rebel today against יהוה, that tomorrow He is wroth with all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl. (Jos 22:19) ‘And indeed, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of יהוה, where the Dwelling Place of יהוה dwells, and take possession among us. But do not rebel against יהוה, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of יהוה our Elohim. (Jos 22:20) ‘Did not Aḵan son of Zeraḥ commit a trespass in that which is under the ban, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl? And he was not the only one to die in his crookedness.’ ” (Jos 22:21) Then the children of Re’uḇĕn, and the children of Gaḏ, and half the tribe of Menashsheh answered and said to the heads of the divisions of Yisra’ĕl, (Jos 22:22) “Ěl Elohim יהוה, Ěl Elohim יהוה, He knows, and let Yisra’ĕl itself know. If this has been in rebellion, or if in trespass against יהוה, do not save us this day. (Jos 22:23) “If we have built ourselves an altar to turn from following יהוה, or if to offer burnt offerings or grain offerings on it, or if to make peace offerings on it, let יהוה Himself require it. (Jos 22:24) “But truly, from fear, for a reason we did this, saying, ‘In time to come your sons might speak to our sons, saying, “What have you to do with יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl? (Jos 22:25) “יהוה has made the Yardĕn a border between you and us, you children of Re’uḇĕn and children of Gaḏ. You have no portion with יהוה.” So your sons would make our sons stop fearing יהוה.’ (Jos 22:26) “So we said, ‘Let us now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering nor for slaughtering, (Jos 22:27) but to be a witness between you and us and our generations after us, to do the service of יהוה before Him with our burnt offerings, with our slaughtering, and with our peace offerings, that your sons should not say to our sons in time to come, “You have no portion with יהוה.” ’ (Jos 22:28) “So we said that it shall be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, ‘See the pattern of the altar of יהוה which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for slaughtering, but it is a witness between you and us.’ (Jos 22:29) “Far be it from us to rebel against יהוה, and to turn from following יהוה this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for slaughtering, besides the altar of יהוה our Elohim which is before His Dwelling Place.” (Jos 22:30) And Pineḥas the priest and the rulers of the congregation, and the heads of the thousands of Yisra’ĕl who were with him, heard the words that the children of Re’uḇĕn, and the children of Gaḏ, and the children of Menashsheh spoke, and it was good in their eyes. (Jos 22:31) And Pineḥas son of Elʽazar the priest said to the children of Re’uḇĕn, and to the children of Gaḏ, and to the children of Menashsheh, “Today we know that יהוה is in our midst, because you have not committed against יהוה this trespass. Now you have delivered the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the hand of יהוה.” (Jos 22:32) And Pineḥas son of Elʽazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the children of Re’uḇĕn and the children of Gaḏ, from the land of Gilʽaḏ to the land of Kenaʽan, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and brought back word to them. (Jos 22:33) So the matter was good in the eyes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the children of Yisra’ĕl blessed Elohim. And they spoke no more of going against to fight, to destroy the land where the children of Re’uḇĕn and Gaḏ dwelt. (Jos 22:34) And the children of Re’uḇĕn and the children of Gaḏ called the altar, “A witness between us that יהוה is Elohim.”

Joshua reminds them that obedience has always brought forth blessings and deliverance!

(Jos 23:1) And it came to be, a long time after יהוה had given rest to Yisra’ĕl from all their enemies round about, that Yehoshua was old, advanced in years. (Jos 23:2) And Yehoshua called for all Yisra’ĕl, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, “I am old, advanced in years. (Jos 23:3) “And you, you have seen all that יהוה your Elohim has done to all these nations because of you, for יהוה your Elohim is He who was fighting for you. (Jos 23:4) “See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Yardĕn, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun. (Jos 23:5) “And יהוה your Elohim thrust them out from before you, and shall drive them out from before you and you shall possess their land, as יהוה your Elohim has promised you. (Jos 23:6) “And you shall be very strong to guard and to do all that is written in the Book of the Torah of Mosheh, so as not to turn aside from it right or left, (Jos 23:7) so as not to go in among these nations, these who remain among you. And make no mention of the name of their mighty ones1, nor swear by them, nor serve them nor bow down to them. Footnote: 1See Exo 23:13. (Jos 23:8) “But cling to יהוה your Elohim, as you have done to this day. (Jos 23:9) “For יהוה has driven out from before you great and strong nations. As for you, no one has stood against you to this day.

This too will be for us in the last days as we do exploits in YHWH!

(Jos 23:10) “One man of you put a thousand to flight, for יהוה your Elohim is He who is fighting for you, as He has promised you. (Jos 23:11) “And you shall diligently guard yourselves, to love יהוה your Elohim. (Jos 23:12) “But if you do turn back at all, and cling to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you, and intermarry with them, and go in to them and they to you, (Jos 23:13) know for certain that יהוה your Elohim shall no longer drive these nations out from before you. And they shall be snares and traps to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which יהוה your Elohim has given you. (Jos 23:14) “And see, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your beings that not one word has failed of all the good words which יהוה your Elohim spoke concerning you. All of it has come to you, and not one word of them has failed. (Jos 23:15) “And it shall be, that as every good word has come upon you which יהוה your Elohim promised you, so יהוה does bring upon you every evil word, until He has destroyed you from this good land which יהוה your Elohim has given you, (Jos 23:16) when you transgress the covenant of יהוה your Elohim, which He commanded you, and shall go and serve other mighty ones, and bow down to them. And the displeasure of יהוה shall burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.” (Jos 24:1) And Yehoshua gathered all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl to Sheḵem and called for the elders of Yisra’ĕl, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers. And they presented themselves before Elohim. (Jos 24:2) And Yehoshua said to all the people, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Long ago your fathers dwelt beyond the River – Teraḥ, the father of Aḇraham and the father of Naḥor. And they served other mighty ones. (Jos 24:3) ‘So I took your father Aḇraham from beyond the River, and caused him to go through all the land of Kenaʽan, and multiplied his offspring and gave him Yitsḥaq. (Jos 24:4) and to Yitsḥaq I gave Yaʽaqoḇ and Ěsaw. And to Ěsaw I gave the mountains of Sĕʽir to possess, but Yaʽaqoḇ and his children went down to Mitsrayim.

Great Deliverance at Red Sea mentioned and thick darkness hid us and will hide us in the days ahead!

(Jos 24:5) ‘Then I sent Mosheh and Aharon, and plagued Mitsrayim, as I did in their midst. And afterward I brought you out. (Jos 24:6) ‘And I brought your fathers out of Mitsrayim, and you came to the sea. And the Mitsrians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Sea of Reeds. (Red Sea) (Jos 24:7) ‘And they cried out to יהוה, and He put thick darkness between you and the Mitsrians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Mitsrayim. And you dwelt in the wilderness a long time. (Jos 24:8) ‘And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt beyond the Yardĕn, and they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, and you possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before you. (Jos 24:9) ‘And Balaq son of Tsippor, sovereign of Mo’aḇ, rose up and fought against Yisra’ĕl, and sent and called for Bilʽam son of Beʽor to curse you. (Jos 24:10) ‘But I refused to listen to Bilʽam, so he continued to bless you, and I delivered you out of his hand. (Jos 24:11) ‘And you passed over the Yardĕn and came to Yeriḥo. And the masters of Yeriḥo, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Kenaʽanite, and the Ḥittite, and the Girgashite, and the Ḥiwwite, and the Yeḇusite fought against you. But I gave them into your hand. (Jos 24:12) ‘And I sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two sovereigns of the Amorites, but not with your sword or with your bow. (Jos 24:13) ‘And I gave you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build. And you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive-trees which you did not plant.’ (Jos 24:14) “And now, fear יהוה, serve Him in perfection and in truth, and put away the mighty ones which your fathers served beyond the River and in Mitsrayim, and serve יהוה!

Choose this day! Great plan for deliverance!

(Jos 24:15) “And if it seems evil in your eyes to serve יהוה, choose for yourselves this day whom you are going to serve, whether the mighty ones which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the mighty ones of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But I and my house, we serve יהוה.” (Jos 24:16) And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us to forsake יהוה, to serve other mighty ones, (Jos 24:17) for יהוה our Elohim is He who has brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs before our eyes, and has guarded us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. (Jos 24:18) “And יהוה drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We too serve יהוה, for He is our Elohim.” (Jos 24:19) Then Yehoshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve יהוה, for He is a set-apart Elohim, a jealous Ěl is He. He does not bear with your transgression and with your sins, (Jos 24:20) if you forsake יהוה and shall serve mighty ones of a stranger. Then He shall turn back and do you evil and consume you, after He has been good to you.” (Jos 24:21) And the people said to Yehoshua, “No, but we do serve יהוה!” (Jos 24:22) Then Yehoshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen יהוה for yourselves, to serve Him.” And they said, “Witnesses!” (Jos 24:23) “And now, put away the mighty ones of the stranger which are in your midst, and incline your heart to יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.” (Jos 24:24) And the people said to Yehoshua, “יהוה our Elohim we serve, and His voice we obey.” (Jos 24:25) And Yehoshua made a covenant with the people that day, and laid on them a law and a right-ruling in Sheḵem.

Write the words of Torah??

(Deu 6:4) "Hear, O Israel! YHWH is our Elohim, YHWH is one! (Comment: echad in Hebrew means in absolute union or agreement) (Deu 6:5) "You shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.( Deu 6:6) "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. (Deu 6:7) "You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. (Deu 6:8) "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. (Deu 6:9) "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Jos 24:26) Then Yehoshua wrote these words in the Book of the Torah of Elohim. And he took a large stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the set-apart place of יהוה. (Jos 24:27) And Yehoshua said to all the people, “See, this stone is a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of יהוה which He spoke to us. And it shall be a witness against you, lest you lie against your Elohim.” (Jos 24:28) Then Yehoshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance. (Jos 24:29) And after these events it came to be that Yehoshua son of Nun, the servant of יהוה, died, one hundred and ten years old. (Jos 24:30) And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Seraḥ, which is in the mountains of Ephrayim, on the north side of Mount Gaʽash. (Jos 24:31) And Yisra’ĕl served יהוה all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Yehoshua, who had known all the works of יהוה which He had done for Yisra’ĕl. (Jos 24:32) And the bones of Yosĕph, which the children of Yisra’ĕl had brought up out of Mitsrayim, they buried at Sheḵem, in the plot of ground which Yaʽaqoḇ had bought from the sons of Ḥamor the father of Sheḵem for one hundred pieces of silver, and which had become an inheritance of the children of Yosĕph. (Jos 24:33) And Elʽazar son of Aharon died, and they buried him in a hill that belonged to Pineḥas his son, which was given to him in the hill country of Ephrayim.

May YHWH bless you and keep you and lift up His countenance on you and give you His peace, Yahshua—the Prince of Peace! Thanks you for your prayers and heartfelt intercession for us and the loved ones where I am ministering, they are indeed your loved ones and family! May YHWH take your prayers and intercession as an offering and give back to you and your burdens 30, 60 and 100 fold returns! Especially where there has been fear for the things coming on the Earth; may He give you peace, direction, protection, and provision and understanding that you ask anything according to the will of the Father, you KNOW He hears you and you HAVE the thing you asked for! (Results may not be seen yet!) (1Jn 5:13) “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of YHWH, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (1Jn 5:14) This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1Jn 5:15) And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.” So stand therefore and give thanks!

Shalom to your home,

Hyper-inflation Leading to America's Economic Collapse; likely currency problems worldwide follow

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

This letter is a forward from Ron White, a watchman on the wall. AT the end of this report I have a few observations-Thurston

In simple understandable English.

Some sound suggestions all of us can and probably should do, as appropriate -- how much money to keep in a bank, cashing out or converting whole life insurance policies, how much trust to put in banks due to close, FDIC insured deposits ending in 2010, determining what investments or purchases might be worth more than 25 cents on the dollar today when a new currency is implemented, getting out of bond markets now before losing the investments, etc. We have $106 trillion debt; $345,000 owed by every man, woman and child citizen -- it will never be paid, and the FED knows this fact. The FED has bankrupted us.

Before anyone decides to disagree with a point or two and throw the baby out with the bathwater, please admit that America is on a non-reversible course resulting in hyper-inflation and significant devaluation of the dollar. The dollar has lost 29% of its value in the last eight years, beginning under GWB -- with the trillions added to our debt in the past 10 months, the dollar's value is about to plunge, resulting in inflation like America has never experienced -- loss of buying power -- eventually, a loaf of bread may cost a day's wage of minimum wage workers. Will you be able to feed your family, if a loaf of bread costs upwards of $40.00? Gasoline $30.00 per gallon?

My broken record suggestion to my friends for several years has been to get out of debt and stay out of debt. The wise heeded this. Soon, even those out of debt may be using most of their monthly income to simply buy food. Denial is a powerful emotional and character inhibitor.

Potential For Fed To Hyperinflate
http://theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/Potential_For_Fed_To_Hyperinflate

Posted 28 November 2009

Always the question about what the Fed will do, more pressure on small and medium banks, municipal bond meltdown, bailouts cant go on indefinitely, looking at the banks, and recalling the French Revolution, the truth of fractional banking…

The following information may be the most important we have ever published. One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending. Loans have to be 75% collateralized, 50% of which has to be in cash, which is a compensating balance.

The Fed has to do one of two things: They either have to pull $1.5 trillion out of the system by June, which would collapse the economy, or face hyperinflation. This is why the Fed has instructed banks to inform them when and how much of the TARP funds they can return. At best they can expect $300 to $400 billion plus the $200 billion the Fed already has in hand.

We believe the Fed will opt for letting the system run into hyperinflation. All signs tell us they cannot risk allowing the undertow of deflation to take over the economy. The system cannot stand such a withdrawal of funds. They also must depend on assistance from Congress in supplying a second stimulus plan. That would probably be $400 to $800 billion. A lack of such funding would send the economy and the stock market into a tailspin. Even with such funding the economy cannot expect any growth to speak of and at best a sideways movement for perhaps a year. We have been told that the FDIC not only is $8.2 billion in the hole, but they have secretly borrowed an additional $80 billion from the Treasury. We have also been told that the FDIC is lying about the banks in trouble. The number in eminent danger are not 552, but a massive 2,035. The cost of bailing these banks out would be $800 billion to $1 trillion. That means 2,500 could be closed in 2010. Now get this, the FDIC is going to be collapsed before the end of 2010, which means no more deposit insurance. This follows the 9/18/09 end of government guarantees on money market funds. Both will force deposits into US government bonds and agency bonds in an attempt to save the system.

This will strip small and medium-sized banks and force them into shutting down or being absorbed. This means you have to get your money out of banks, especially CDs. We repeat get your cash values out of life insurance policies and annuities. They are invested 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds. Keep only enough money in banks for three months of operating expenses, six months for businesses. Major and semi-major banks are being told to obtain secure storage for new currency-dollars. They expect official devaluation by the end of the year. We do not know what the exchange rate will be, but as we have stated previously we expect three old dollars to be traded for one new dollar. The alternative is gold and silver coins and shares. For those with substantial sums that do not want to be in gold and silver related assets completely you can use Canadian and Swiss Treasuries. If you need brokers for these investments we can supply them.

The Fed also expects a meltdown in the bond market, especially in municipals. Public services will be cut drastically leading to increased crime and social problems, not to mention the psychological trauma that our country will experience. Already 50% of homes in hard hit urban areas are under water, nationwide more than 25%. That means you have to be out of bonds as well, especially municipals.

As you can see, the Illuminist program is going to come quicker than we anticipated. That in part is because they have had to expedite their program, due to exposure in the IF, other publications and especially via talk ratio and the Internet. There is no doubt we have the elitists on the run.

We are reaching the masses. On TalkStreamLive.com we were on the Rumor Mill this past week and out of 50 talk radio programs we were 5th behind, Rush, Hannity, Dr. Laura and we were tied with Beck. On the Sovereign Economist on Wednesday night we were 5th behind Beck and Savage and ahead of Hannity. Both these programs are not well known and the Sovereign Economist is only about a month old. It shows you what you can do if you work hard enough at it.

The latest favorable events we are told are the seeds of recovery. The green-shoots of spring are to be harvested before winter sets in. We are skeptical of the strength and duration of such a recovery.

The underlying problems are still not being addressed. The US government and the Fed cannot bail out banking, Wall Street, insurance and government indefinitely via monetization. Impaired corporations, no matter what their size, have to be allowed to fail. Stimulus cannot be used indefinitely. Both have to be reigned in, because the longer this charade continues the worse the final outcome is going to be. As we predicted six year’s ago, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA are the wards of American taxpayers, as is AIG. All their financial conditions worsen every day. They have again been insuring subprime mortgages by the thousands and when they begin to reset next year, we will be back to 60% failure rates. Even government admits already they’ll see 20% failure rates. This, so that housing inventory can be cut from 11-1/2-months inventory to 7-months, again in order to bail out the lenders at the expense of taxpayers. Government and the Fed have no exit plans for these sinking ships, particularly Fannie, Freddie, Ginnie and FHA, never mind their meddling in the economy guaranteeing everything is sight. Benito Mussolini would be very proud of what they have done. Then we have those on Wall Street, banking and corporate America who believe they are doing God’s work by looting the American public making outrageous profits by in part using taxpayer funds, and allotting themselves disgraceful bonuses as unemployment hovers at 22.2%. Haven’t these people heard of the French Revolution? Their arrogance has no bounds. The credit crisis hasn’t ended; the Fed has extended it by throwing money at problems. We have a mortgage market that is worse than it was a year ago, only kept from sinking by a tax credit 3% down. As a result now we have more than $1 trillion of new mortgage failures on the way.

Our monetary base has more than doubled. Interest rates will probably stay where they are for 18 months or more and we even have a dollar carry trade. The 2009 fiscal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion and 2010 will be worse. Government is not cutting expenses. They are increasing expenses.

In addition making matters worse corruption is flourishing via the incestuous revolving door between Wall Street, the Treasury, in a multiplicity of other appointments and with the Fed. Is it any wonder 75% of Americans want the Fed audited and investigated. That said, the present set of circumstances cannot be allowed to go on indefinitely. We cannot keep insurance, Wall Street and banking on life support forever. Not when we finance two occupations and an ongoing war, never mind our unfunded liabilities of Medicare, Social Security, etc. most all of these problems are being financed by debt to be paid by our great, great grandchildren. We just created $12.7 trillion for bailouts and the Inspector General tells us we are presently on the hook for $23.7 trillion. What happens if all the recipients need another $20 trillion?

The situation is still dire and the solution is temporary and unworkable and Washington and New York are well aware of this. The game will play out over the next few years. In the meantime the dollar will move lower and inflation, gold and silver higher. Economics is not complex; it is very simple. Professors and economists would like to have you believe it is complicated when in fact they make it opaque, so you cannot understand it. The same is true with banking. In normal times through the century’s bankers using the fractional banking system usually lent 8 times their assets, or deposits. It was only until recently that the privately owned Federal Reserve told banks within the system to lend 40 times assets or more in order to accommodate the system. All this is to cover to confuse and hide the truth of fractional banking. Bankers’ indebt borrowers with money they made up out of thin air. Debt is enslavement by the bankers upon the people by buying almost everyone off. In the final analysis banking is a fraud unless money is interest free. The Fed, and all the other banks are a fraud. The game as we know it today began in 1694 when the Rothschild’s formed the privately owned Bank of England and the production of bank notes began and circulated along with sterling silver coins. The end result has been that the bankers own the world. The system today is based on confidence and trust, something that has been worn thin. A reflection of the loss of trust and confidence is that 75% to 80% of Americans want HR1207 and S604 passed by Congress, so that the Fed can be audited and investigated. The public no longer trusts the Fed and the banks. As a result the con game may well be coming to an end. Fifty years ago we and a handful of other conservative warriors set out to inform the public of the giant scam that the Fed really was. It has been a long hard road. Gary Allen and Alan Stang are gone and of the originals all that are left are G. Edward Griffin, Stan Monteith, Anthony Hilder and us. During our lifetimes we now probably will see the end of the Fed. Because the people have finally been awakened. It was a long hard battle that may soon come to fruition. The final step will be the termination of the Federal Reserve and its monopoly on financial theft. Unfortunately it will mean the demise of the only financial system we have known for 315 years. We do not know as yet what the new system will be like, but the con game is over and most of the world’s inhabitants are broke. The debt that is owed simply cannot be repaid. Japan, the US, the UK and Europe will be the first to go followed by most of the rest of the world.

You ask who will be the big winners? Gold and silver of course. Just as we have been telling you they would for 9-1/2 years, since gold was $252.00 [now $1177] and silver $3.80 [now $18.33] . Look at the gains for those who listened. And, we still have a long, long way to go to preserve our wealth. Over all those years the gold suppression cartel fought to hold down gold prices by selling gold, using derivatives and futures and in collaboration with good producers such as Barrick Gold and others. Hopefully HR3996 (HR-1207) will now pass unchanged and we can take a look at what the Fed and the Treasury were doing and who aided them.

What we are witnessing in the US and world economy is the result of the greed of central banks to make as much money as possible before they have to collapse the system to bring about World Government. Manufacturing activity in the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s district improved in November.

Observations.

First these are economic facts. Nobody with economic intelligence will argue. These are the results that must come. Hence swine flu, bird flu and likely others will be dosed on the USA public. Cities will be intolerable and quickly unlivable, consider a place more remote in the country where you can grow your own food. Consider having seeds and water purifiers and some means of light or fuel for generators etc. This may become a way of life. Consider like minded people that you trust to have community. We will have to learn to help each other and draw close to YHWH. Each of us have our strengths and weaknesses and gifts we can bring to the table so to speak, but apart from people of like minded faith, it will not be sustainable. Consider googgling JIM HUMBLE MMS as he has found a mineral supplement that kills fungus, parasites, virus (even swine flue and avian flu etc)band even kills malaria in 4 hours. The cost is apporoximately $20-30 for a years supply for 1 person. You will not be able to get these supplies later. What about other necessary medications etc.? Also, it is already illegal to have more than 3 days supply of food in the USA and is called hoarding. They can and will confiscate your excess food. Others will steal and take your food at gunpoint. The US gov't and foreign troops will confiscate guns as the USA deteriorates into lawlessness. Preparation is vital about when and how you determine where you will meet your family where you are going, how to get there etc. These times require some thought and pre-planning for you and your loved ones' survival. If this were a school fire drill or tornadoe drill you would plan ahead nand know what you are suppose to do when certain events take place. We should all get our plans in order as failing to do so will cause possible irrepairable damage to yourself and loved ones.

Shalom to your home,
