Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…

(Mat 5:14)  “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain. (Mat 5:15)  “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand  and it shines to all those in the house. (Mat 5:16)  “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens. (Mat 5:17)  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy but to complete. Footnote: 1 The Law and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. (Mat 5:18)  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 16:17. (Mat 5:19)  “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.

Recently I had a moment with the Lord that He revealed a simple thought to me. The above verse has been used often by yours truly and perhaps you also as a certain rebuttal and absolute truth and reminder to His people that the “LAW” (Hebrew word Torah is better translated from the Hebrew as- Instructions) has not been done away with- absolutely none of it- because we still have a Heaven and Earth. So the thought was a question to me:

When do Heaven and Earth pass?

Certainly not yet, and here are some comments by Yahushua (Yeshua, Yahshua, Jesus) on this starting in Luke 21:33.


Yahshua is warning His Loved Ones (You and me) to be sober and alert and about our Fathers Business

(Luke 21:33) “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Luke 21:34)  “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries (cares) of this life, and that day come on you suddenly. (Luke 21:35)  “For it shall come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth. (Luke 21:36)  “Watch then at all times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.”

(Mat 24:35)  “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away.

(Mat 24:36)  “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers (Angels) of the heavens, but My Father only.1 Footnote:1 Mk. 13:32. (Mat 24:37)  “And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.

(Luke 16:16)  “The Torah and the prophets are until Yoḥanan. Since then the reign of Elohim is being announced, and everyone is doing violence upon it. (Luke 16:17)  “And it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away than for one tittle of the Torah to fall.

(Rev 20:1)  And I saw a messenger (Angel) coming down from the heaven, having the key to the pit of the deep and a great chain in his hand. (Rev 20:2)  And he seized the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (Rev 20:3)  and he threw him into the pit of the deep, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should lead the nations no more astray until the thousand years were ended. And after that he has to be released for a little while. (Rev 20:4)  And I saw thrones – and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to יהושע and because of the Word of Elohim, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years (Rev 20:5) and the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended – this is the first resurrection. (Rev 20:6)  Blessed and set-apart is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

(Rev 20:7)  And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be released from his prison, (Rev 20:8)  and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ, to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. (Rev 20:9)  And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the set-apart ones and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim out of the heaven and consumed them. (Rev 20:10)  And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. And they shall be tortured day and night forever and ever. (Rev 20:11)  And I saw a great white throne and Him who was sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

(Rev 20:12)  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to their works. (Comment: This is why our actions and words should line up with His words; that is we must become DOERS of the Word not hearers only)  (Rev 20:13)  And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. (Rev 20:14) And the death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death.1 Footnote: 1 See 2:11, 20:6, and 21:8. (Rev 20:15)  And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

(Rev 21:1)  And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, (other versions declare a new heaven and a new earth) for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. (Rev 21:2)  And I, Yoḥanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev 21:3)  And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth (Dwelling) of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. (Rev 21:4)  “And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain, for the former matters have passed away.” (Rev 21:5)  And He who was sitting on the throne said, “See, I make all matters new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.” (Rev 21:6)  And He said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment. (Rev 21:7)  “The one who overcomes shall inherit all this, and I shall be his Elohim and he shall be my son.

So we can readily see that the timing of a NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH is at the end of the 1000 year Sabbath rest, remembering that a day with Yahuah is as a 1000 years and a thousand years is as a day.  It appears that the Sabbath day is about due and would be the end of the 600 year rule by Adam- (Man) and Yahuah will rule the Sabbath day. (Adam= day 1, Noah= day 2, Abraham= day 3, Yahushua= day4, 2000 years have passed so day 6 is ending soon, Millennium reign of Yahushua o the earth for day 7, then a new heaven and earth as we will dwell with Him forever! So we see why my expectation is that the plan of Yah all along has been to bless and restore His Kingdom and His plan was for a week of 1000 year days…six being the number of man and his control, but seven being His perfection…

Yahshua warns us not to be as these; (Matthew 15:7) “Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Matthew 15:8)  ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (Matthew 15:9)  ‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.


My prayer for you and us Loved One is that we put on the full armor of Yahuah (Yahweh- YHWH) and not be taken in hasatan’s snare unaware; that we have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahuah (Yahweh) and with our wisdom- gain understanding. That we have the courage to OBEY what He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men. Further, I pray that we become DOERS of the TORAH (Word- His INSTRUCTIONS) thereby; by doing, become fully armored for our battle!

(2Co 10:3) Though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh. (2Co 10:4)  For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, (2Co 10:5)  overthrowing reasoning and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah, (2Co 10:6)  and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.1 Footnote: 1John 3:36. Putting on His armor! (Eph 6:10)  For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. (Eph 6:11)  Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Eph 6:12)  We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. (Eph 6:13)  Because of this, take up the complete armor of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand. (Eph 6:14)  Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Eph 6:15) and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; (Eph 6:16) above all, having taken up the shield of belief (faith-trust) with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. (Eph 6:17)  Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, 1 Footnote: 1Isa. 59:21. (Eph 6:18) praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones; (Eph 6:19)  also for me, that a word might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News, (Eph 6:20)  for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it I might speak boldly, as I should speak. (Eph 6:21)  Now, in order that you also might know about me, how I am doing, Tuchikos, a beloved brother and trustworthy servant in the Master, shall make all matters known to you, (Eph 6:22)  whom I did send to you for this same purpose, so that you know about us, and might encourage your hearts. (Eph 6:23)  Peace to the brothers, and love, with belief, (faith-trust) from Elohim the Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.

 Here is what we will look like as overcomers (Fully armored as He desires)- we will not have any fear of death!

(1Jn 4:13)  By this we know that we stay in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. (1Jn 4:14)  And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son, Savior of the world. (1Jn 4:15)  Whoever confesses that יהושע is the Son of Elohim, Elohim stays in him, and he in Elohim. (1Jn 4:16)  And we have known and believed the love that Elohim has for us. Elohim is love, and he who stays in love stays in Elohim and Elohim in him. (1Jn 4:17)  By this love has been perfected with us, in order that we might have boldness in the Day of Judgment, (Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement) because as He is so are we in this world. (1Jn 4:18)  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1Jn 4:19)  We love Him because He first loved us.

The Scriptures (Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim, 1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1See 11:15. (Rev 12:11)  “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:12)  “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” (Rev 12:13)  And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Rev 12:14)  And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.


It is becoming obvious to me that apart from Yahushua coming early- no flesh will survive without His armor and for those who are becoming DOERS of His Instructions. Perhaps it is Time for us to awaken from our slumber as great darkness will soon cover the people and we will need to shine brighter and brighter!

As thick darkness covers the people due to satanic wickedness- our Deliverer will have us shine brighter and brighter as we walk in His power!

(Isa 60:1)  “Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory/anointing) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isa 60:2)  “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isa 60:3)  “And the gentiles shall come to your light 1 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isa. 60:19, 20, Rev. 21:23, 24. (Isa 60:4)  “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. (Isa 60:5)  “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isa 60:6)  “A stream of camels covers your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה. (Isa 60:7)  “All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed House.

Here is a great Scripture to personalize and repeat continually if you want to walk in His power! (Gal 2:20)  “I have been impaled (Crucified) with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me.1 And that which I now live in the flesh I live by belief (trust/faith) in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Footnote: 1Rom. 8:10, 2 Cor. 6:16, 2 Cor. 13:5, Eph. 3:17, Col. 1:27, 1 John 4:4.

We do not love our lives more than our King- so we shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb of YHWH and the words we speak that agree with of His! (Our testimony)

We have inherited lies and not understood how deceitful hasatan is; even using RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS to blind us from pure relationships with Him. Most of us know by now there is NO pre-tribulation rapture. Remember the tares are gathered 1st and thrown into the fire- KJV:

(Mat 13:30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Elohim is mighty and even in the fiery furnace our loving Creator can and will deliver us who trust Him! He will deliver us even in fiery trials and furnaces- all He requires is that we believe Him and our actions show it. FAITH/Trust =believing Him and can produce nothing for us without actions that agree with our beliefs! This is a reminder of why we draw near to Him by reading and rightly dividing the Scriptures; Faith without action is dead just like a man without the spirit man is dead and the flesh goes back to dirt; faith without actions can produce nothing.

(Jas 2:12)  So speak and so do as those who are to be judged by a Torah of freedom.1 Footnote: 1 See 1:25, and John 8:32-36. (Jas 2:13)  The judgment is without compassion to the one who has shown no compassion. And compassion boasts over judgment. (Jas 2:14)  My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him. (Jas 2:15)  And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food, (Jas 2:16) but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it? (Jas 2:17)  So also belief (faith), if it does not have works (actions/doings), is in itself dead. (Comment: DEAD has no life in it and cannot produce any fruit)

Here is what RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS can do- deny the POWER OF YHWH yes- even deny His gifts are available for us today; we must build our RELATIONSHIP with YHWH!

Review, Review, Review! Seems as though I must repeat and go more in-depth on these Scriptures of becoming DOERS! IF we will not flee from traps of entertainment and indulgence and don’t want His power the way He offers it; then our testimony will likely soon be cut short-

(2Ti 3:1)  But know this, that in the last days hard (perilous) times shall come. (2Ti 3:2)  For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, (2Ti 3:3)  unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, (2Ti 3:4)  betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim, (2Ti 3:5)  having a form of Godliness -reverence 1  but denying its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: 1 See v. 13, Isa. 24:5-6, Mt. 24:12, Rom. 1:30-31, 2 Thess. 2:3-11. (2Ti 3:6)  For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, (2Ti 3:7) always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(James 2:17) So also belief (faith-trust), if it does not have works, is in itself dead. (James 2:18)  But someone might say, “You have belief (faith-trust), and I have works.” Show me your belief (faith-trust) without your works, and I shall show you my belief (faith-trust) by my works. (James 2:19)  You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder! (James 2:20)  But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief (faith-trust) without the works is dead? (James 2:21)  Was not Aḇraham our father declared right by works when he offered Yitsḥaq his son on the altar? (James 2:22)  Do you see that the belief (faith-trust) was working with his works, and by the works the belief (faith-trust) was perfected? (James 2:23)  And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” (James 2:24)  You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief (faith-trust) alone.

Why is “doing the word” so important?

Yahshua told me many years ago that if we really heard Him- (Hear and Do; Listen and Obey- the She’mah) we would DO what He said! We cannot have what He promised without adding actions to what we say we believe and that saddens Him. He really wants to reward those that seek Him diligently! Understand with me that faith or belief comes by hearing and hearing the word- but once we receive that engrafted word and become a doer of it; we can receive (Exchange our trust for His promise) the things hoped for- the Scripture promise!

(James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1 See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Hebrews. 4:11, Rev. 22:14.

(Hebrews 11:1)  And belief (faith-trust) is the substance of what is expected, the proof of what is not seen. (Hebrews 11:2)  For by this the elders obtained witness. (Hebrews 11:3)  By belief (faith-trust), we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of Elohim, so that what is seen was not made of what is visible. (Hebrews 11:4)  By belief (faith-trust), Heḇel offered to Elohim a greater slaughter offering than Qayin, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, Elohim witnessing of his gifts. And through it, having died, he still speaks. (Hebrews 11:5)  By belief (faith-trust), Ḥanoḵ was translated so as not to see death, “and was not found because Elohim had translated him.” For before his translation he obtained witness, that he pleased Elohim. (Hebrews 11:6)  But without belief (faith-trust) it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.

YHWH does not want us ignorant of His gifts- He really does want to bless, direct, protect and provide for us to be witnesses and produce fruit that remains! We should realize that we- apart from His intervention and help- we will have our testimonies cut short by the enemy of our souls and those who are following the orders of hasatan. We must actually believe He wants to use us (Witness) for the benefit of others to allow any benefit to follow; so since faith and trust (belief) comes by hearing the word- read and hear these Scriptures often and then ACT as though we believe Him- I expect He would not make these available if during the times of our distress and testing we did not really need His help. If these gifts are available to believers Loved One; they certainly should be (and are) available to us as obedient DOERS OF THE TORAH! Seems that Yahshua (The word made flesh that dwelled among us) knew we would be ignorant of the possibility that it requires us believing His promises for miracles and His supernatural help!

(1Co 12:1)  And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2)  You know that you were gentiles, 1 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote: 1 Eph. 2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3)  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4)  And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5)  There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. (1Co 12:6)  And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1Co 12:7)  And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, (1Co 12:8)  for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9)  and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, (1Co 12:10)  and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11)  But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.

(Jeremiah 16:19) O יהוה, (Yahweh) my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (lies), futility, and there is no value in them.”1 Footnote: 1 See Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4 (Jeremiah 16:20)  Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21)  “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (YHWH- Yahweh)

KJV: (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the Day of Affliction, (Day of the Lord) 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. (Jeremiah 16:20)  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? (Jeremiah 16:21)  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (YHWH)

Here is what Yahshua warned us concerning these days upon us truth searcher; KJV (Matthew 24:21) then shall be great tribulation; such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Scriptures (Matthew 24:21) “For then there shall be great distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1Or great pressure, or great affliction. (Matthew 24:22)  “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. Here is the shadow picture we can also expect: (Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.

BELIEF AND FAITH AS A DOER OF TORAH- WE are the ones addressed below by James- who are dispersed (scattered) for accepting the pagan worship we inherited- scattered all over the world- we repent to be RESTORED!

(James 1:19)  So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1 See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1 See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Hebrews. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23)  If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25)  But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1 See 2:12. (James 1:26)  If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (VAIN) (James 1:27)  Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep ourselves unstained (unpolluted) from the world.

More review- how do we FEAR NOT and hunger and thirst for righteousness for more intimacy with Him who created all things?

(James 4:7)  So then subject (submit/humble) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil 1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or 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?

Loved One; do WE call Him Lord and Master but not obey Him? Are we of those that think His LAW (Commentary: Remember Law was translated that; but it is Torah-Instructions in Hebrew) is done away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that position! Is Messiah reigning in Jerusalem? The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled down to the day, hour and minute! 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.

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!

(Jeremiah 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.'" (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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."' (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:20)  'Their children also will be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their oppressors. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:22)  'You shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.'"

Understanding our submission of our WORDS AND ACTIONS agreeing with His form our witness making us usable witnesses to overcome by His shed blood; therefore worthy and allowed to continue our witness- that we produce fruit that remains even in Great Tribulation-

Let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:


This week’s Torah Scriptures: Tetzave- “You shall command”

Exodus 27:20-30:10; Ezekiel 43:10-27; Hebrews 13:10-17


(Exodus 27:20)  “And you, you are to command the children of Yisra’ĕl to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually. (Exodus 27:21)  “In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the Witness, Aharon and his sons are to tend it from evening until morning before יהוה – a law forever to their generations, from the children of Yisra’ĕl.  (Exodus 28:1)  “And you, bring near Aharon your brother and his sons with him, from among the children of Yisra’ĕl, for serving as priest to me: Aharon, Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, Elʽazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aharon. (Exodus 28:2)  “And you shall make set-apart garments for Aharon your brother, for esteem and for comeliness. (Exodus 28:3)  “And you speak to all the wise of heart, which I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, and they shall make the garments of Aharon, to set him apart, for him to serve as priest to me. (Exodus 28:4)  “And these are the garments which they make: a breastplate, a shoulder garment, a robe, an embroidered long shirt, a turban, and a girdle. And they shall make set-apart garments for Aharon your brother and his sons, for him to serve as priest to me. (Exodus 28:5)  “And they shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, (Exodus 28:6)  and shall make the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 28:7)  “It is to have two shoulder pieces joined at its two edges, and so it is joined together. (Exodus 28:8)  “And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. (Exodus 28:9)  “And you shall take two shoham stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, (Exodus 28:10) six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their birth. (Exodus 28:11)  “With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. Set them in settings of gold. (Exodus 28:12)  “And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment as stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl. And Aharon shall bear their names before יהוה on his two shoulders, for a remembrance. (Exodus 28:13)  “And you shall make settings of gold, (Exodus 28:14) and two chains of clean gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings. (Exodus 28:15)  “And you shall make a breastplate of right-ruling, a work of a skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment. Make it of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. (Exodus 28:16)  “It is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its width.

The stones of the 12 tribes (soon to be gathered again as Yahshua came for the lost sheep) are laser stones and have light reflection/diffraction qualities and is related to Yahshua- the Light of the world!

(Exodus 28:17)  “And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald; (Exodus 28:18) and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; (Exodus 28:19) and the third row is a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; (Exodus 28:20) and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and a jasper. They are set in gold settings. (Exodus 28:21)  “And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes. (Exodus 28:22)  “And you shall make braided chains of corded work for the breastplate at the end, of clean gold. (Exodus 28:23)  “And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. (Exodus 28:24)  “And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate, (Exodus 28:25)  and the other two ends of the two cords you fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment in the front. (Exodus 28:26)  “And you shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the shoulder garment. (Exodus 28:27)  “And you shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to the seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, (Exodus 28:28)  and they bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the shoulder garment, using a blue cord, so that it is above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, so that the breastplate does not come loose from the shoulder garment. (Exodus 28:29)  “And Aharon shall bear the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl on the breastplate of right-ruling over his heart, when he goes into the set-apart place, for a remembrance before יהוה, continually. (Exodus 28:30)  “And into the breastplate of right-ruling you shall put the Urim and the Tummim, and they shall be on the heart of Aharon when he goes in before יהוה. And Aharon shall bear the right-ruling of the children of Yisra’ĕl on his heart before יהוה, continually. (Exodus 28:31)  “And you shall make the robe of the shoulder garment all of blue. (Exodus 28:32)  “And the opening for his head shall be in the middle of it, a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a scaled armor, so that it does not tear. (Exodus 28:33)  “And on its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: (Exodus 28:34) a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around. (Exodus 28:35)  “And it shall be upon Aharon to attend in, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the set-apart place before יהוה and when he comes out, so that he does not die. (Exodus 28:36)  “And you shall make a plate of clean gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה. (Exodus 28:37)  “And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban – it is to be on the front of the turban. (Exodus 28:38)  “And it shall be on the forehead of Aharon, and Aharon shall bear the guilt of the set-apart gifts which the children of Yisra’ĕl set apart in all their set-apart gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, for acceptance for them before יהוה. (Exodus 28:39)  “And you shall weave the long shirt of fine linen, and shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of woven work. (Exodus 28:40)  “And make long shirts for Aharon’s sons. And you shall make girdles for them, and you shall make turbans for them, for esteem and comeliness. (Exodus 28:41)  “And you shall put them on Aharon your brother and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and shall ordain them, and shall set them apart, and they shall serve as priests to me. (Exodus 28:42)  “And make linen trousers for them, to cover their nakedness, reaching from the waist to the thighs. (Exodus 28:43)  “And they shall be on Aharon and on his sons when they come into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near the altar to attend in the Set-apart Place, so that they do not bear crookedness and die – a law forever to him, and to his seed after him.

Anointing oil represents the Ruach and the provision of victory of being filled with the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to the wise virgins who are washed by the blood and word of YHWH; who will have power over hell and do exploits as they KNOW their Elohim

(Exodus 29:1)  “And this is the task you shall do to them to set them apart to serve Me as priests: Take one young bull and two rams, perfect ones, (Exodus 29:2) and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil – make these of wheat flour. (Exodus 29:3)  “And you shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams. (Exodus 29:4)  “Then you shall bring Aharon and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water. (Exodus 29:5)  “And you shall take the garments, and shall put on Aharon the long shirt, and the robe of the shoulder garment, and the shoulder garment, and the breastplate, and shall gird him with the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, (Exodus 29:6) and shall put the turban on his head, and shall put the set-apart sign of dedication on the turban, (Exodus 29:7) and shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him. (Exodus 29:8)  “Then you shall bring his sons and put long shirts on them, (Exodus 29:9) and shall gird them with girdles – Aharon and his sons – and put the turbans on them. And the priesthood shall be theirs for an everlasting law. So you shall ordain Aharon and his sons. (Exodus 29:10)  “And you shall bring near the bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aharon and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull. (Exodus 29:11)  “And you shall slaughter the bull before יהוה, by the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Exodus 29:12) and take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar. (Exodus 29:13)  “And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails and the appendage on the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. (Exodus 29:14)  “But the flesh of the bull, and its skin and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering. (Exodus 29:15)  “And take one ram, and Aharon and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram, (Exodus 29:16) and you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it all around on the altar. (Exodus 29:17)  “And cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and place them upon its pieces and on its head. (Exodus 29:18)  “And you shall burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to יהוה, it is a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Exodus 29:19)  “And you shall take the second ram, and Aharon and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram, (Exodus 29:20) and you shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aharon and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. (Exodus 29:21)  “And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aharon and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him. And he and his garments shall be set-apart, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him. (Exodus 29:22)  “And you shall take the fat of the ram, and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the entrails and the appendage on the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh – it is for a ram of ordination – (Exodus 29:23) and one loaf of bread, and one cake made with oil, and one thin cake from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before יהוה. (Exodus 29:24)  “And you shall put all these in the hands of Aharon and in the hands of his sons, and you shall wave them – a wave offering before יהוה. (Exodus 29:25)  “Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet fragrance before יהוה. It is an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Exodus 29:26)  “And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aharon’s ordination and wave it – a wave offering before יהוה, and it shall be your portion. (Exodus 29:27)  “And from the ram of ordination you shall set apart the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the contribution which is raised, of that which is for Aharon and of that which is for his sons. (Exodus 29:28)  “And it shall be from the children of Yisra’ĕl for Aharon and his sons by a law forever, for it is a contribution. And it is a contribution from the children of Yisra’ĕl from their peace offerings – their contribution to יהוה. (Exodus 29:29)  “And the set-apart garments of Aharon are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them and to be ordained in them. (Exodus 29:30)  “The priest from his sons in his place puts them on for seven days, when he enters the Tent of Meeting to attend in the set-apart place. (Exodus 29:31)  “And take the ram of ordination and cook its flesh in a set-apart place. (Exodus 29:32)  “And Aharon and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Exodus 29:33) and they shall eat those offerings with which the atonement was made, to ordain them, to set them apart. But let a stranger not eat them, because they are set-apart. (Exodus 29:34)  “And if any of the flesh of the ordination offerings, or of the bread, be left over until the morning, then you shall burn up what is left over. It is not eaten, because it is set-apart. (Exodus 29:35)  “And so you shall do to Aharon and his sons, according to all I have commanded you. Seven days you shall ordain them, (Exodus 29:36) and prepare a bull each day as a sin offering for atonement. And you shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to set it apart. (Exodus 29:37)  “For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and set it apart. And the altar shall be most set-apart – whatever touches the altar is to be set-apart. (Exodus 29:38)  “And this is what you prepare on the altar: two lambs, a year old, daily, continually. (Exodus 29:39)  “Prepare the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you prepare between the evenings, (Exodus 29:40)  and one-tenth of an ĕphah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering, with the one lamb. (Exodus 29:41)  “And prepare the other lamb between the evenings. And with it prepare the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה – (Exodus 29:42)  a continual burnt offering for your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before יהוה, where I shall meet with you to speak with you. (Exodus 29:43)  “And there I shall meet with the children of Yisra’ĕl, and it shall be set apart by my esteem. (Exodus 29:44)  “And I shall set apart the Tent of Meeting and the altar. And Aharon and his sons I set apart to serve as priests to me. (Exodus 29:45)  “And I shall dwell in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl and shall be their Elohim. (Exodus 29:46)  “And they shall know that I am יהוה their Elohim, who brought them up out of the land of Mitsrayim, to dwell in their midst. I am יהוה their Elohim.

(Exodus 30:1)  “And you shall make an altar to burn incense on, make it of acacia wood, (Exodus 30:2) a cubit long and a cubit wide – it is a square – and two cubits high, its horns of the same. (Exodus 30:3)  “And you shall overlay its top, and its sides all around, and its horns with clean gold. And you shall make for it a molding of gold all around. (Exodus 30:4)  “And make two gold rings for it, under the molding on both its sides. Make them on its two sides, and they shall be holders for the poles to lift it with. (Exodus 30:5)  “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. (Exodus 30:6)  “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you. (Exodus 30:7)  “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it. (Exodus 30:8)  “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations. (Exodus 30:9)  “Do not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. (Exodus 30:10)  “And Aharon shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement – once a year he makes atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most set-apart to יהוה.”

We flee crookedness and all manner of deception! (1Pe 2:1)  Having put aside, then, all evil, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envying’s, and all evil words, (1Pe 2:2) as newborn babes, desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, in order that you grow by it, (1Pe 2:3) if indeed you have tasted that the Master is good. (1Pe 2:4)  Drawing near to Him, a living Stone – rejected indeed by men, but chosen by Elohim and precious – (1Pe 2:5) you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a set-apart priesthood, to offer up spiritual slaughter offerings acceptable to Elohim through יהושע Messiah. (1Pe 2:6)  Because it is contained in the Scripture, “See, I lay in Tsiyon a chief corner-stone, chosen, precious, and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame.”1 Footnote: 1 Isa. 28:16. (1Pe 2:7) This preciousness, then, is for you who believe; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner-stone,”1 Footnote: 1 Ps. 118:22. (1Pe 2:8) and “A stone of stumbling and a rock that makes for falling,”1 who stumble because they are disobedient 2 to the Word, to which they also were appointed. Footnotes: 1 Isa. 8:14. 2 See John 3:36, Heb. 3:18. (1Pe 2:9)  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, (1Pe 2:10) who once were not a people, but now the people of Elohim; who had not obtained compassion, but now obtained compassion. (1Pe 2:11)  Beloved ones, I appeal to you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts which battle against the life, (1Pe 2:12)  having your behavior among the gentiles good so that when they speak against you as evil-doers, let them, by observing your good works,1 esteem Elohim in a day of visitation. Footnote: 1Mt. 5:16.

Ashamed means aware and making TESHUVA (Repent and turn 180 degrees and follow Him)

(Ezekiel 43:10)  “Son of man, explain the House to the house of Yisra’ĕl, and when they are ashamed of their crookednesses, they shall measure the measurements. (Ezekiel 43:11)  “And since they shall be ashamed of all that they did, make known to them the design of the House and its structure, and its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its laws, and all its forms and all its Torot. And write it down before their eyes, so that they observe its entire design and all its laws, and shall do them. (Ezekiel 43:12)  “This is the Torah of the House: Upon the mountaintop, all the boundary of it, all around, is most set-apart. See, this is the Torah of the House. (Ezekiel 43:13)  “And these are the measurements of the altar in cubits, that cubit being one cubit and a handbreadth, and the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. And this is the upper part of the altar. (Ezekiel 43:14)  “And from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits, and the width of the ledge one cubit, and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge four cubits, and the width of the ledge one cubit. (Ezekiel 43:15)  “And the altar hearth is four cubits high, and four horns extending upward from the hearth. (Ezekiel 43:16)  “And the altar hearth is twelve cubits long, and twelve wide, square at its four corners. (Ezekiel 43:17)  “And the ledge is fourteen long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it, and its base one cubit all around, and its steps face east.” (Ezekiel 43:18)  And He said to me, “Son of man, thus said the Master יהוה, ‘These are the laws for the altar on the day when it is made, for offering burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it. (Ezekiel 43:19)  ‘And you shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Lĕwites, who are of the seed of Tsaḏoq, who approach unto me,’ declares the Master יהוה. (Ezekiel 43:20)  ‘And you shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it, and shall cleanse it and make atonement for it. (Ezekiel 43:21)  ‘And you shall take the bull of the sin offering, and shall burn it in the appointed place of the House, outside the set-apart place. (Ezekiel 43:22)  ‘And on the second day you bring a male goat, a perfect one, for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull. (Ezekiel 43:23)  ‘When you have ended cleansing it, bring a young bull, a perfect one, and a ram from the flock, a perfect one. (Ezekiel 43:24)  ‘And you shall bring them before יהוה, and the priests shall throw salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to יהוה. (Ezekiel 43:25)  ‘Prepare a goat for a sin offering daily for seven days, and prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, perfect ones. (Ezekiel 43:26)  ‘For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, and ordain it. (Ezekiel 43:27)  ‘And when these days are completed it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests make your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar, and I shall accept you,’ declares the Master יהוה.”

(Hebrews 13:10)  We have an altar from which those serving the Tent have no authority to eat. (Hebrews 13:11)  For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the Set-apart Place by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. (Hebrews 13:12)  And so יהושע also suffered outside the gate, to set apart the people with His own blood. (Hebrews 13:13)  Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. (Hebrews 13:14)  We have no lasting city here, but we seek the one coming. (Hebrews 13:15)  Through Him then, let us continually offer up a slaughter offering of praise to Elohim, that is, the fruit of our lips, 1 giving thanks to His Name. Footnote: 1 Or “bulls of our lips” - See Hosh. 14:2. (Hebrews 13:16) and do not forget to do well and to share, for with such slaughter offerings Elohim is well pleased. (Hebrews 13:17)  Obey those leading you, and be subject to them, for they watch for your lives, as having to give account. Let them do so with joy and not groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

My prayer for you and us remains Loved One- that we put on daily the full armor of Elohim and have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahweh and with our wisdom- gain understanding. That we have the courage to OBEY what He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony- and hear Him say- “Well done – good and faith filled servant- enter into my joy!” Thanks one more time for you praying for Billie and me!

Shalom to your home Loved One,

Thurston


Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)

Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.

GLOBAL RESET is here! Shabbat Shalom Loved One Torah Bible Study!

July 13, 2013


Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

This study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES!  Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered!
Why are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…

This week requires a little review about the times we live in and certain life changing events unfolding among us. I have often mentioned the Global Reset of the World’s currencies and how it will balance the playing field so to speak. That is 198 currencies were scheduled to be adjusted based on asset backing by October 15 of this year (2013) and the new USA currency and $100 bill coming out October 2013 will no longer be Federal Reserve Notes (Most of us realized the Federal Reserve was not really Federal nor was there any reserve) but now be a US TREASURY Note. Chairman of the Fed Res Ben Bernanke stated in a speech this week that the Fed had 100 years to celebrate- umm was he possibly stating this was all planned and they only had 100 years in the plan? This time last year we were addressing the London Olympics and how they were quite bold in their satanic claiming of their turn to welcome their DARK (K)night Rising (satan). Hmm… Well apparently the world’s economy is in serious collapse and could not wait until October 2013 for all 198 currencies to revalue and they are doing this right now. Let’s look at Simon Black’s concise observations concerning the perverse banking systems that are in disarray and must be fixed:

Modern banking is based on this ridiculous notion that banks don't actually have to hang on to their customers' funds. Banks in the United States typically hold less than 10%, and even less than 5%, of their customers' savings. This is particularly true among smaller regional banks. As an example, BB&T bank is holding about $3.2 billion in cash equivalents on $131 billion in customer deposits. That's a ratio of just 2.4%. The rest of customer deposits are mostly invested in residential mortgage backed securities (similar to those which collapsed in 2008) and commercial loans. In fact, the bank's loan portfolio exceeds total customer deposits. Not exactly the picture of financial health. In the UK, the situation has become so absurd that British regulators are allowing some banks (Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland) to plug their gaping capital deficits with FUTURE earnings. Now, I'm not trying to badmouth any particular bank here; these examples are representative of the entire western financial system. Yet few people give much thought to where they park their hard-earned savings. We're deluded into believing that our bank is safe. It must be, after all. It's a bank! And... It’s backed by the government! Sure, never mind that the balance sheets of insurance funds and sovereign governments are in even worse shape. That this system is still functioning at all is due almost entirely to confidence. There is no fundamental support propping it up. And a system built exclusively on confidence can unravel quickly. This is why it's so important to give a lot of thought to your financial partner. Do they have a fundamentally safe balance sheet? Or is it just more smoke and mirrors?

Take a look at your own bank's balance sheet. How much cash do they hold as a percentage of deposits? How big is the loan portfolio as a percentage of deposits? How much equity does the bank have as a percentage of deposits? If you're not satisfied, find another bank. And you may have to look overseas at stronger jurisdictions. Singapore is one place where I'm happy to park capital. OCBC for example, holds a whopping 38% of customer deposits in cash equivalents... ten times as much as many banks in the West. Its total loan portfolio is far less than customer deposits. Total equity exceeds assets by a margin of 2:1. And it resides in a nation with effectively no net debt. I'm not necessarily endorsing OCBC, but rather citing it as an example of what a healthy bank balance sheet is supposed to look like. Many banks in Singapore hold similar figures. Bottom line, it matters where you hold your savings. Balance sheet fundamentals are critical. And moving your hard-earned savings to a well-capitalized, highly liquid bank is one of those things that make sense, no matter what. If nothing happens, you won't be worse off for it. Yet if the confidence game collapses, you'll be one of the few left standing with your savings intact.  Signature Simon Black     Senior Editor, www.SovereignMan.com

This Global Reset of currencies will make for some serious changes and hopefully- fixes. I believe it will or at least have the opportunity to remove false scales and balances that Yah hates- such as FIAT money system that was manipulated worldwide for favoring those in power to manipulate. Of course it could also usher in the darkness with FEMA camps being filled and martial law and civil unrest. Either way, the days ahead are sure to be both exhilarating and trying. You and I realize that vast amounts of resources will both test the character of those that newly have it and the character of those that have their resources removed. It will be the wealth transfer (Test) that many believers have for eons been expecting (hoping) for. Restoration has to happen in my thoughts, even if temporary as we will walk in His power and love and more light as more darkness and resources of evil are poured out against us. Yahuah will bring forth resources and provision for us to do battle against the increased wickedness; both spiritually and physically. Our Elohim reigns and holds wicked and evil doers in derision as He laughs at those scoffing and opposing His people. Here is one of our warning promises of restoration of resources:

Deuteronomy 8:10 “And you shall eat and be satisfied, and shall bless יהוה your Elohim for the good land which He has given you. Deuteronomy 8:11  “Be on guard, lest you forget יהוה your Elohim by not guarding His commands, and His right-rulings, and His laws which I command you today, Deuteronomy 8:12  lest you eat and shall be satisfied, and build lovely houses and shall dwell in them, Deuteronomy 8:13  and your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and your gold are increased, and all that you have is increased, Deuteronomy 8:14  that your heart then becomes lifted up, and you forget יהוה your Elohim who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage, Deuteronomy 8:15  who led you through that great and awesome wilderness – fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst – where there was no water, who brought water for you out of the flinty rock, Deuteronomy 8:16  who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, in order to humble you and to try you, to do you good in the end, Deuteronomy 8:17  you then shall say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand have made for me this wealth!’ Deuteronomy 8:18  “But you shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:19  “And it shall be, if you by any means forget יהוה your Elohim, and follow other mighty ones, and serve them and bow yourself to them, I have warned you this day that you shall certainly perish. Deuteronomy 8:20 “Like the nations which יהוה is destroying before you, so you are to perish, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim.

(Jeremiah 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.'" (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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."' (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:20)  'Their children also will be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their oppressors. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:22)  'You shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.'"

 My prayer for you and I Loved One; is that we have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahweh and with our wisdom- gaining understanding and FEAR NOT. That we have the courage to OBEY what He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- Here is another valid possibility drawing NEAR:

(Luke 21:29)  And He spoke a parable to them, “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. (Rebirth of Israel in 1948) (Luke 21:30)  “When they have already budded, observing it, you shall know for yourselves that summer is now near. (Luke 21:31)  “So you also, when you see these matters take place, know that the reign of Elohim is near. (Luke 21:32)  “Truly, I say to you, this generation (Which generation? That sees this rebirth- and a generation Biblically is often 70 years) shall by no means pass away till all shall have taken place. (Taking us to 2018? - Goodness – if that is possible then we could assume much trouble and great distress 42 Hebrew months or 3 ½ years prior to that time of the LAST TRUMP I 2018) (Luke 21:33) “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Luke 21:34)  “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come on you suddenly. (Luke 21:35)  “For it shall come as a snare on all those dwelling on the face of all the earth. (Luke 21:36)  “Watch then at all times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.”


Yahshua warns us not to be as these; (Matthew 15:7) “Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Matthew 15:8)  ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (Matthew 15:9)  ‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.

As thick darkness covers the people due to satanic wickedness- our Deliverer will have us shine brighter and brighter as we walk in His power in intimacy and obedience to Him!

(Isa 60:1)  “Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (Glory/anointing) of יהוה has risen upon you. (Isa 60:2)  “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. (Isa 60:3)  “And the gentiles shall come to your light1 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1Isa. 60:19, 20, Rev. 21:23, 24. (Isa 60:4)  “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. (Isa 60:5)  “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isa 60:6)  “A stream of camels covers your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה. (Isa 60:7)  “All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on My altar, and I embellish My esteemed House.

As we choose to submit to YHWH’s instructions (Hear and Do) the enemy will flee! We become crucified in Yahshua and we no longer live, but Messiah and His anointing dwells in us!

(Jas 4:4)  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? 1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1Mt. 13:22, Luke. 4:5-6, Luke. 14:33, Rom. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (Jas 4:5)  Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (Jas 4:6)  But He gives greater favor. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.” (Jas 4:7)  So then subject (submit- receive the engrafted word as a doer of it) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1Or adversary.

(1Pe 5:6)  Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of Elohim, so that He exalts you in due time, (1Pe 5:7) casting all your worry upon Him, for He is concerned about you. (1Pe 5:8)  Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1Pe 5:9)  Resist him, firm in the belief (trust/faith), knowing that the same hardships are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. (1Pe 5:10)  The Elohim of all favor (mercy); who has called you to His everlasting esteem (Glory) by Messiah יהושע; after you have suffered a while, Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Here is a great Scripture to personalize and repeat continually if you want to walk in His power!

(Gal 2:20)  “I have been impaled (Crucified) with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me.1 And that which I now live in the flesh I live by belief (trust/faith) in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Footnote: 1Rom. 8:10, 2 Cor. 6:16, 2 Cor. 13:5, Eph. 3:17, Col. 1:27, 1 John 4:4.

We do not love our lives more than our King- so we shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb of YHWH and the words we speak that agree with of His! (Our testimony)

KJV Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

The Scriptures (Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim,1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1See 11:15. (Rev 12:11)  “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:12)  “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” (Rev 12:13)  And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Rev 12:14)  And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

Most of us have inherited lies and not understood how deceitful hasatan is; even using RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS to blind us from pure relationships with Him. Most of us know by now there is NO pre-tribulation rapture but our Elohim is mighty and even in the fiery furnace our loving Creator can and will deliver us who trust Him! He will deliver us even in  fiery trials- all He requires is that we believe Him and our actions show it. FAITH/Trust =believing Him and can produce nothing for us without actions that agree with our beliefs! This is a reminder of why we draw near to Him by reading and rightly dividing the Scriptures; Faith without action is dead just like a man without the spirit man is dead and the flesh goes back to dirt; faith without actions can produce nothing- Here is what RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS can do- deny the POWER OF YHWH yes- even deny His gifts are available for us today; we must build our RELATIONSHIP with YHWH!

Review, Review, Review! IF we don’t want His power then I suspect our testimony may be cut short-

(2Ti 3:1)  But know this, that in the last days hard (perilous) times shall come. (2Ti 3:2)  For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, (2Ti 3:3)  unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, (2Ti 3:4)  betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim, (2Ti 3:5)  having a form of Godliness -reverence1  but denying its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: 1See v. 13, Isa. 24:5-6, Mt. 24:12, Rom. 1:30-31, 2 Thess. 2:3-11. (2Ti 3:6)  For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, (2Ti 3:7) always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(James 2:17) So also belief (faith-trust), if it does not have works, is in itself dead. (James 2:18)  But someone might say, “You have belief (faith-trust), and I have works.” Show me your belief (faith-trust) without your works, and I shall show you my belief (faith-trust) by my works. (James 2:19)  You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder! (James 2:20)  But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief (faith-trust) without the works is dead? (James 2:21)  Was not Aḇraham our father declared right by works when he offered Yitsḥaq his son on the altar? (James 2:22)  Do you see that the belief (faith-trust) was working with his works, and by the works the belief (faith-trust) was perfected? (James 2:23)  And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” (James 2:24)  You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief (faith-trust) alone.

Why is “doing the word” so important?

Yahshua told me many years ago that if we really heard Him (Hear and Do- Listen and Obey- the She’mah) we would DO what He said! We cannot have what He promised without adding actions to what we say we believe and that saddens Him. He really wants to reward those that seek Him diligently! Understand with me that faith or belief comes by hearing and hearing the word- but once we receive that engrafted word and become a doer of it; we can receive (Exchange our trust for His promise) the things hoped for- the Scripture promise!

(James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Hebrews. 4:11, Rev. 22:14.

(Hebrews 11:1)  And belief (faith-trust) is the substance of what is expected, the proof of what is not seen. (Hebrews 11:2)  For by this the elders obtained witness. (Hebrews 11:3)  By belief (faith-trust), we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of Elohim, so that what is seen was not made of what is visible. (Hebrews 11:4)  By belief (faith-trust), Heḇel offered to Elohim a greater slaughter offering than Qayin, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, Elohim witnessing of his gifts. And through it, having died, he still speaks. (Hebrews 11:5)  By belief (faith-trust), Ḥanoḵ was translated so as not to see death, “and was not found because Elohim had translated him.” For before his translation he obtained witness, that he pleased Elohim. (Hebrews 11:6)  But without belief (faith-trust) it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.

YHWH does not want us ignorant of His gifts- He really does want to bless, direct, protect and provide for us to be witnesses and produce fruit that remains! We should realize that we- apart from His intervention and help- we will have our testimonies cut short by the enemy of our souls and those who are following the orders of hasatan. We must actually believe He wants to use us (Witness) for the benefit of others to allow any benefit to follow; so since faith and trust (belief) comes by hearing the word- read and hear these Scriptures often and then ACT as though we believe Him- I expect He would not make these available if during the times of our distress and testing we did not really need His help. If these gifts are available to believers Loved One; they certainly should be (and are) available to us as obedient DOERS OF THE TORAH! Seems that Yahshua (The word made flesh that dwelled among us) knew we would be ignorant of the possibility that it requires us believing His promises for miracles and His supernatural help!

(1Co 12:1)  And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2)  You know that you were gentiles, 1 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote: 1Eph. 2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3)  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4)  And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5)  There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. (1Co 12:6)  And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1Co 12:7)  And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, (1Co 12:8)  for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9)  and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, (1Co 12:10)  and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11)  But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.


(Jeremiah 16:19) O יהוה, (Yahweh) my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (lies), futility, and there is no value in them.”1 Footnote: 1See Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4 (Jeremiah 16:20)  Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21)  “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (YHWH- Yahweh)

KJV: (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 16:20)  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? (Jeremiah 16:21)  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (YHWH)

Here is what Yahshua warned us concerning these days upon us truth searcher; KJV (Matthew 24:21) then shall be great tribulation; such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Scriptures (Matthew 24:21) “For then there shall be great distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1Or great pressure, or great affliction. (Matthew 24:22)  “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. Here is the shadow picture we can also expect: (Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.

BELIEF AND FAITH AS A DOER OF TORAH- WE are the ones addressed below by James- who are dispersed (scattered) for accepting the pagan worship we inherited- scattered all over the world- we repent to be RESTORED!

(James 1:1)  Yaʽaqoḇ, a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion (Scattering around the world): Greetings. (James 1:2)  My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, (James 1:3) knowing that the proving of your belief (faith-trust) works endurance. (James 1:4)  And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and complete, lacking in naught. (James 1:5)  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him. (James 1:6)  But he should ask in belief (faith-trust), not doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:7)  For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever from the Master – (James 1:8) he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:9)  And let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, (James 1:10) but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he shall pass away. (James 1:11)  For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man shall fade away in his ways. (James 1:12)  Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:13)  Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no one. (James 1:14)  But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. (James 1:15)  Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. (James 1:16)  Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. (James 1:17)  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning.1 Footnote: 1See Mal. 3:6. (James 1:18)  Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. (James 1:19)  So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Hebrews. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23)  If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25)  But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1See 2:12. (James 1:26)  If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (VAIN) (James 1:27)  Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep ourselves unstained (unpolluted) from the world.

More review- how do we FEAR NOT and hunger and thirst for righteousness for more intimacy with Him who created all things?

(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?

Loved One; do WE 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 Hebrews) is done away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that position! Is Messiah reigning in Jerusalem? The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled down to the day, hour and minute! 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.

Even to us casual observers, heaven and earth (below) 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!

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy but to complete. Footnote: 1The Law and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. Mat 5:18  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 16:17. Mat 5:19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.

Understanding our submission of our WORDS AND ACTIONS agreeing with His-- form our witness making us usable witnesses to overcome by His shed blood; therefore worthy and allowed to continue our witness- that we produce fruit that remains even in Great Tribulation- let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:


This week’s Torah Scriptures: Teruma- “Offerings”

Exodus 25:1-27:19; 1 Kings 5:12- 6:13; Matthew 5:33-37



Remember our giving is acceptable based on our obedience and willingness to give our best gift!

(Exodus 25:1)  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 25:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they take up a contribution for me. From everyone whose heart moves him (willing and obedient) you shall take up my contribution. (Exodus 25:3)  “And this is the contribution which you take up from them: gold, and silver, and bronze, (Exodus 25:4) and blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, (Exodus 25:5) and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, (Exodus 25:6) oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, (Exodus 25:7) shoham stones and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate. (Exodus 25:8)  “And they shall make Me a Set-apart Place, and I shall dwell in their midst. (Exodus 25:9)  “According to all that I show you – the pattern of the Dwelling Place and the pattern of all its furnishings – make it exactly so. (Exodus 25:10)  “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 25:11)  “And you shall overlay it with clean gold, inside and outside you shall overlay it. And you shall make on it a molding of gold all around. (Exodus 25:12)  “And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners, two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side. (Exodus 25:13)  “And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, (Exodus 25:14)  and shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to lift up the ark by them. (Exodus 25:15)  “The poles are in the rings of the ark, they are not taken from it. (Exodus 25:16)  “And into the ark you shall put the Witness which I give you. (Exodus 25:17)  “And you shall make a lid of atonement of clean gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. (Exodus 25:18)  “And you shall make two keruḇim of gold, make them of beaten work, at the two ends of the lid of atonement. (Exodus 25:19)  “And make one keruḇ at one end, and the other keruḇ at the other end. Make the keruḇim from the lid of atonement, at its two ends. (Exodus 25:20)  “And the keruḇim shall be spreading out their wings above, covering the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other, the faces of the keruḇim turned toward the lid of atonement. (Exodus 25:21)  “And you shall put the lid of atonement on top of the ark, and put into the ark the Witness which I give you. (Exodus 25:22)  “And I shall meet with you there, and from above the lid of atonement, from between the two keruḇim which are on the ark of the Witness, I shall speak to you all that which I command you concerning the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Exodus 25:23)  “And you shall make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 25:24)  “And you shall overlay it with clean gold, and shall make a molding of gold all around, (Exodus 25:25 and shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth all around, and shall make a gold molding for the rim all around. (Exodus 25:26)  “And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs. (Exodus 25:27)  “The rings are close to the rim, as holders for the poles to lift the table. (Exodus 25:28)  “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be lifted with them. (Exodus 25:29)  “And you shall make its dishes, and its ladles, and its jars, and its bowls for pouring. Make them of clean gold. (Exodus 25:30)  “And you shall put the showbread on the table before me, continually. (Exodus 25:31)  “And you shall make a lampstand of clean gold – the lampstand is made of beaten work. Its base and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs and blossoms are from it, (Exodus 25:32)  and six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side; (Exodus 25:33)  three cups made like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups made like almond flowers on the other branch, with ornamental knob and blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 25:34)  “And on the lampstand itself are four cups made like almond flowers, with ornamental knob and blossom, (Exodus 25:35) and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 25:36)  “Their knobs and their branches are of the same – all of it one beaten work of clean gold. (Exodus 25:37)  “And you shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall mount its lamps so that they give light in front of it. (Exodus 25:38)  “And its snuffers and their trays are of clean gold. (Exodus 25:39)  “It is made of a talent of clean gold, with all these utensils. (Exodus 25:40)  “So see, and do according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.

We too must obediently obey the pattern shown us in building our temples for YHWH- the pattern should match our walk!

(Exodus 26:1)  “And make the Dwelling Place with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. Make them, with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 26:2)  “The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure. (Exodus 26:3)  “Five curtains are joined to each other, and five curtains are joined to each other. (Exodus 26:4)  “And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain on one set, and do the same on the edge of the end curtain of the second set. (Exodus 26:5)  “Make fifty loops in the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the second set, the loops being opposite to each other. (Exodus 26:6)  “And you shall make fifty hooks of gold, and shall join the curtains together with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place shall be one. (Exodus 26:7)  “And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair, for a tent over the Dwelling Place, make eleven curtains. (Exodus 26:8)  “The length of each curtain is thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, one measure to the eleven curtains. (Exodus 26:9)  “And you shall join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the six curtains at the front of the Tent. (Exodus 26:10)  “And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outer most in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set. (Exodus 26:11)  “And you shall make fifty bronze hooks, and put the hooks into the loops, and join the tent together, and it shall be one. (Exodus 26:12)  “And the overlapping part of the rest of the curtains of the Tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 26:13)  “And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the Tent, is to hang over the sides of the Dwelling Place, on this side and on that side, to cover it. (Exodus 26:14)  “And you shall make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the Tent, and a covering of fine leather above that. (Exodus 26:15)  “And for the Dwelling Place you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing up. (Exodus 26:16)  “Ten cubits is the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board, (Exodus 26:17) two tenons in each board for binding one to another. Do the same for all the boards of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 26:18)  “And you shall make the boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side, (Exodus 26:19) and make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. (Exodus 26:20)  “And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, on the north side, twenty boards, (Exodus 26:21) and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under each of the boards. (Exodus 26:22)  “And for the extreme parts of the Dwelling Place, westward, make six boards, (Exodus 26:23) and make two boards for the two back corners of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 26:24)  “And they are double beneath and similarly they are complete to the top, to the one ring. So it is for both of them, they are for the two corners. (Exodus 26:25)  “And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets – two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board. (Exodus 26:26)  “And you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place, (Exodus 26:27) and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling Place, for the extreme parts westward, (Exodus 26:28) with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, going through from end to end. (Exodus 26:29)  “And overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold. (Exodus 26:30)  “And you shall rise up the Dwelling Place according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain. (Exodus 26:31)  “And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman, made with keruḇim. (Exodus 26:32)  “And you shall put it on the four columns of acacia wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold, upon four sockets of silver. (Exodus 26:33)  “And you shall hang the veil from the hooks, and shall bring the ark of the Witness there, behind the veil. And the veil shall make a separation for you between the Set-apart and the Most Set-apart Place. (Exodus 26:34)  “And you shall put the lid of atonement upon the ark of the Witness in the Most Set-apart Place. (Exodus 26:35)  “And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the Dwelling Place toward the south, and put the table on the north side. (Exodus 26:36)  “And you shall make a covering for the door of the Tent, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver. (Exodus 26:37)  “And you shall make for the covering five columns of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, their hooks of gold, and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.

Whose Temple we are- His dwelling place- the place of worship- our altar: (1Co 3:11) No one is able to lay any other foundation except that which is laid, which is יהושע Messiah. (1Co 3:12)  And if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, (1Co 3:13)  each one’s work shall be revealed, for the day shall show it up, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire shall prove the work of each one, what sort it is. (1Co 3:14)  If anyone’s work remains, which he has built on, he shall receive a reward. (1Co 3:15)  If anyone’s work is burned; he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. (1Co 3:16)  Do you not know that you are a Dwelling Place of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?

(1Co 6:19)  Or do you not know that your body is the Dwelling Place of the Set-apart Spirit who is in you, which you have from Elohim, and you are not your own? (1Co 6:20)  For you were bought with a price, therefore esteem Elohim in your body and in your spirit,1 which are of Elohim. Footnote: 1See 7:23, 1 Peter 1:18-19.

(Exodus 27:1)  “And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide – the altar is square – and its height three cubits. (Exodus 27:2)  “And you shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns are of the same. And you shall overlay it with bronze. (Exodus 27:3)  “And you shall make its pots to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its fire holders. Make all its utensils of bronze. (Exodus 27:4)  “And you shall make a grating for it, a bronze network, and shall make on the network four bronze rings at its four corners, (Exodus 27:5) and shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, so that the network is halfway up the altar. (Exodus 27:6)  “And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and shall overlay them with bronze. (Exodus 27:7)  “And the poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar for lifting it. (Exodus 27:8)  “Make it hollow with boards. As it was shown to you on the mountain, so they are to make it. (Exodus 27:9)  “And you shall make the courtyard of the Dwelling Place: for the south side screens for the courtyard made of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long for one side, (Exodus 27:10)  and its twenty columns and their twenty sockets of bronze, the hooks of the columns and their bands of silver, (Exodus 27:11)  and so for the north side in length, screens one hundred cubits long, with its twenty columns and their twenty sockets of bronze, and the hooks of the columns and their bands of silver. (Exodus 27:12)  “And the width of the courtyard on the west side screens of fifty cubits, with their ten columns and their ten sockets. (Exodus 27:13)  “The width of the courtyard on the east side fifty cubits. (Exodus 27:14)  “And the screens on one side of the gate fifteen cubits, with their three columns and their three sockets. (Exodus 27:15)  “And on the other side screens of fifteen cubits, with their three columns and their three sockets. (Exodus 27:16)  “And for the gate of the courtyard a covering twenty cubits long, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver – four columns and four sockets. (Exodus 27:17)  “All the columns around the courtyard have bands of silver, their hooks silver and their sockets bronze. (Exodus 27:18)  “The length of the courtyard is one hundred cubits, and the width fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, woven of fine linen thread, and its sockets of bronze. (Exodus 27:19)  “All the utensils of the Dwelling Place for all its service, all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, are bronze.

Wisdom to seek YHWH (Beginning of all wisdom is to FEAR YHWH with respect- not hasatan- merely a created being)

(1Ki 5:12)  And יהוה gave Shelomoh wisdom, as He promised him. And there was peace between Ḥiram and Shelomoh, and the two of them made a covenant. (1Ki 5:13)  And Sovereign Shelomoh rose up compulsory labor out of all Yisra’ĕl. And the compulsory labor was thirty thousand men. (1Ki 5:14)  And he sent them to Leḇanon, ten thousand a month by courses – they were one month in Leḇanon, two months at home. And Aḏoniram was over the compulsory labor. (1Ki 5:15)  And Shelomoh had seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing stone in the mountains, (1Ki 5:16) besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Shelomoh’s deputies who were over the work, those ruling over the people who labored in the work. (1Ki 5:17)  And the sovereign commanded, and they brought large stones, precious stones, to lay the foundation of the House with hewn stones. (1Ki 5:18)  And Shelomoh’s builders, and Ḥiram’s builders, and the men of Geḇal did hew, and prepared timber and stones to build the House. (1Ki 6:1)  And it came to be, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, in the fourth year of the reign of Shelomoh over Yisra’ĕl, in the month of Ziw, which is the second month that he began to build the House of יהוה. (1Ki 6:2)  And the house which Sovereign Shelomoh built for יהוה was sixty cubits long, and twenty wide, and thirty cubits high. (1Ki 6:3)  And the porch at the front of the hĕḵal of the House was twenty cubits long, according to the breadth of the House, and its width ten cubits, from the front of the House. (1Ki 6:4)  And he made for the House windows with narrowed frames. (1Ki 6:5)  And against the wall of the House he built rooms all around, against the walls of the House, all around the hĕḵal and the Speaking Place. Thus he made side rooms all around. (1Ki 6:6)  The lowest side room was five cubits wide, and the middle one was six cubits wide, and the third one was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the House, so as not to lay hold on the walls of the House. (1Ki 6:7)  And the House, when it was being built, was built with finished stone made ready beforehand, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the House while it was being built. (1Ki 6:8)  The doorway for the middle side room was on the right side of the House. And they went up by stairs to the middle side rooms and from the middle to the third. (1Ki 6:9)  So he built the House and completed it, and he paneled the House with beams and boards of cedar. (1Ki 6:10)  And he built the side rooms of the structure against the entire House, each five cubits high, and they were fastened to the House with cedar beams. (1Ki 6:11)  And the word of יהוה came to Shelomoh, saying, (1Ki 6:12) “This House which you are building – if you walk in my laws, and do my right-rulings, and shall guard all my commands and walk in them, then I shall confirm my word with you, which I spoke to your father Dawiḏ, (1Ki 6:13) and shall dwell in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and not forsake my people Yisra’ĕl.”

Speak His word and obediently become DOERS of His word!

(Mat 5:33)  “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to יהוה.’ (Mat 5:34)  “But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by the heaven, because it is Elohim’s throne; (Mat 5:35) nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign; (Mat 5:36) nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. (Mat 5:37)  “But let your word ‘Yea’ be ‘Yea,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ and what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

My prayer for you and me remains Loved One- that we have ears to hear, gaining wisdom from Yahweh and with our wisdom- gain understanding. That we have the courage to OBEY what He tells us and that He uses us mightily as a changed worthy vessel made in His image, that he directs us, protects us, provides for us and uses us mightily to produce fruit that remains! Further, that we are not asleep, but aware of hasatan’s devices and schemes-that we NOT love our lives unto death- that we flee VAIN TRADITIONS of men- and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony- and hear Him say- “Well done – good and faith filled servant- enter into my joy!”

Once again Billie and I thank you for your faithfulness in praying for us for His wisdom, direction, protection and provision. We return that prayer back to you and your Loved Ones!

Shalom to your home Loved One,

Thurston


Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)

Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.

Restoration of His people! Shabbat Shalom Loved One Torah Bible Study!

July 6, 2013


Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

This study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered! Why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at end of this week’s study…

www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies; www.seedtime2harvest.com free video and audio presentations that help build our faith and trust in our coming King!


Most of you who have followed my teachings know that for 3 weeks I taught on the Global Reset of currencies – which I believe will level the playing field for countries economically. For those who are astute and listening to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) it will be likened to the debt cancellation by Yahuah in the Red Sea. Regarding the Torah (Law) it is not passed away because 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!

(Jeremiah 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.'" (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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."' (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:20)  'Their children also will be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their oppressors. (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 30:22)  'You shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.'"


Truth searcher why MUST we be sure we are open minded, diligently dividing the word of TRUTH and fleeing vain traditions we have learned from the forefathers of our faith? Yahshua warns us; (Mat 15:7) “Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Mat 15:8)  ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (Mat 15:9)  ‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.

Loved One, we really have inherited lies so great that is beyond most of our imaginations to believe how deceitful hasatan is and how we are greatly deceived for the most part. Most of us know by now there is NO pre-tribulation rapture but our Elohim is mighty and even in the fiery furnace our loving Creator can and will deliver us who trust Him! I suspect most of us don’t realize though- how close we are and how bad things will be and how we ought to be serious and seek Him while He may be found? Yahshua warned us through Jeremiah (Remember Yahshua is the Word and always will be) and He will deliver us even in  fiery trials- all He requires is that we believe Him and our actions show it; (Jeremiah 16:19) O יהוה, (Yahweh) my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (lies), futility, and there is no value in them.”1 Footnote: 1See Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4 (Jeremiah 16:20)  Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21)  “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (YHWH- Yahweh)

KJV: (Jeremiah 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. (Jeremiah 16:20)  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? (Jeremiah 16:21)  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (YHWH)

Perhaps we have been deceived by religion. My hope and prayer is that you will not become bitter and angry at YHWH or dismiss the possibilities of truth of GREAT AFFLICTIONS and not murmur and complain or get fearful- but that we diligently seek Him who made Heaven and Earth and all created things- the One who loves us and gave Himself up for us! Here is what Yahshua warned us concerning these days upon us truth searcher; KJV (Mat 24:21) then shall be great tribulation; such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Mat 24:22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Scriptures (Mat 24:21) “For then there shall be great distress, 1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote: 1Or great pressure, or great affliction. (Mat 24:22)  “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. Here is the shadow picture we can also expect: (Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.

Loved One, my prayer continues for you and me today; that we as TRUTHSEARCHERS FEAR NOT and have faith increased to match our obedience and a willingness to humble ourselves to submit our tongues to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide us into all truth and teach us of things to come! That our prayers are given thanks for instead of continually asking- that we show actions that indicate we believe the promises of Yahshua regardless of the current storms and circumstances! HalleluYAH- that all our loved ones come into the Kingdom forever! That we not “turn back” but stand diligently and please YHWH with our trust and faith that we are pleasing Him- so He can bring deliverance to ALL our loved ones! May they also taste and see the LORD (YHWH) is good and His mercy endures forever!

As a review; how do we FEAR NOT and hunger and thirst for righteousness for more intimacy with Him who created all things?

(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 WE 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! Is Messiah reigning in Jerusalem? The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled down to the day, hour and minute! 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! (Matthew 5:17)  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 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. (Matthew 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.

WE are the ones addressed below by James- who are dispersed (scattered) for accepting the pagan worship we inherited- scattered all over the world- we repent to be RESTORED!

(James 1:1)  Yaʽaqoḇ, a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion (Scattering around the world): Greetings. (James 1:2)  My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, (James 1:3) knowing that the proving of your belief (faith-trust) works endurance. (James 1:4)  And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and complete, lacking in naught. (James 1:5)  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him. (James 1:6)  But he should ask in belief (faith-trust), not doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:7)  For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever from the Master – (James 1:8) he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:9)  And let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, (James 1:10) but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he shall pass away. (James 1:11)  For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man shall fade away in his ways. (James 1:12)  Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:13)  Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no one. (James 1:14)  But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. (James 1:15)  Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. (James 1:16)  Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. (James 1:17)  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning.1 Footnote: 1See Mal. 3:6. (James 1:18)  Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. (James 1:19)  So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21)  Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22)  And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23)  If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25)  But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1See 2:12. (James 1:26)  If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (VAIN) (James 1:27)  Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep ourselves unstained (unpolluted) from the world.

Understanding our WORDS AND ACTIONS must agree with His from for our witness to be usable and us to be worthy and allowed to continue our witness- that we produce fruit that remains even in Great Tribulation- let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:


This week’s Torah Scriptures: Yithro- “Jethro”

Exodus 18:1-20:23; Isaiah 6:1-7:6 & Isaiah 9:5-6; Matthew 5:17-32


Even Jethro; Moses’ father-in-law, who is a pagan (?) priest exalts YHWH when he sees His mighty acts of deliverance!

(Exodus 18:1)  And Yithro, the priest of Miḏyan, Mosheh’s father-in-law, heard of all that Elohim had done for Mosheh and for Yisra’ĕl His people, that יהוה had brought Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 18:2)  And Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, took Tsipporah, the wife of Mosheh – after he had sent her back, (Exodus 18:3) and her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gĕreshom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land,” (Exodus 18:4) and the name of the other was Eliʽezer, for he said, “The Elohim of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.” (Exodus 18:5)  Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Mosheh in the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mountain of Elohim. (Exodus 18:6)  And he had said to Mosheh, “I, your father-in-law Yithro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.” (Exodus 18:7)  And Mosheh went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him. And they asked each other about their welfare, and they went into the tent. (Exodus 18:8)  And Mosheh told his father-in-law all that יהוה had done to Pharaoh and to the Mitsrites for Yisra’ĕl’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how יהוה had delivered them. (Exodus 18:9)  And Yithro rejoiced for all the good which יהוה had done for Yisra’ĕl, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Mitsrites. (Exodus 18:10)  And Yithro said, “Blessed be יהוה, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Mitsrites and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Mitsrites. (Exodus 18:11)  “Now I know that יהוה is greater than all the mighty ones, indeed in the matter in which they acted proudly, above them.” (Exodus 18:12)  Then Yithro, the father-in-law of Mosheh, brought a burnt offering and other slaughterings unto Elohim. And Aharon came with all the elders of Yisra’ĕl to eat bread with the father-in-law of Mosheh before Elohim. (Exodus 18:13)  And it came to be, on the next day, that Mosheh sat to rightly rule the people. And the people stood before Mosheh from morning until evening. (Exodus 18:14)  And when the father-in-law of Mosheh saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit by yourself, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?” (Exodus 18:15)  And Mosheh said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek Elohim. (Exodus 18:16)  “When they have a matter, they come to me, and I rightly rule between one and another, and make known the laws of Elohim and His Torot.” (Exodus 18:17)  And the father-in-law of Mosheh said to him, “What you are doing is not good. (Exodus 18:18)  “Both you and these people with you shall certainly wear yourselves out. For the matter is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself. (Exodus 18:19)  “Now listen to my voice. Let me counsel you and Elohim be with you: Stand before Elohim for the people and you shall bring the matters to Elohim. (Exodus 18:20)  “And you shall enlighten them concerning the laws and the Torot, and show them the way in which they should walk and the work which they do. (Exodus 18:21)  “But you yourself seek out from all the people able men, who fear Elohim, men of truth, hating unfair gain. And place these over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:22)  “And they shall rightly rule the people at all times. And it shall be that they bring every great matter to you, but they themselves rightly rule every small matter. So, make it lighter for yourself, for they shall bear with you. (Exodus 18:23)  “If you do this word, and Elohim shall command you, then you shall be able to stand and this entire people also go to their place in peace.” (Exodus 18:24)  And Mosheh listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he said. (Exodus 18:25)  And Mosheh chose able men out of all Yisra’ĕl, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:26)  And they rightly ruled the people at all times – the hard matters they brought to Mosheh, but they rightly ruled every small matter themselves. (Exodus 18:27)  And Mosheh sent off his father-in-law, and he went away to his own land.

Signs and Wonders accompany YHWH that command highest honor, obedience and protocol!

(Exodus 19:1)  In the third month after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on this day they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. (Exodus 19:2)  They set out from Rephiḏim, and had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Yisra’ĕl camped there before the mountain. (Exodus 19:3)  And Mosheh went up to Elohim, and יהוה called to him from the mountain, saying, “This is what you are to say to the house of Yaʽaqoḇ, and declare to the children of Yisra’ĕl: (Exodus 19:4)  ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. (Exodus 19:5)  ‘And now, if you diligently obey my voice, and shall guard my covenant, then you shall be my treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is mine – (Exodus 19:6) ‘and you shall be to me a reign of priests and a set-apart nation.’ Those are the words which you are to speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Exodus 19:7)  And Mosheh came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which יהוה commanded him. (Exodus 19:8)  And all the people answered together and said, “All that יהוה has spoken we shall do.” So Mosheh brought back the words of the people to יהוה. (Exodus 19:9)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am coming to you in the thick cloud, so that the people hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” And Mosheh reported the words of the people to יהוה. (Exodus 19:10)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go to the people and set them apart today and tomorrow. And they shall wash their garments, (Exodus 19:11) and shall be prepared by the third day. For on the third day יהוה shall come down upon Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people. (Exodus 19:12)  “And you shall make a border for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall certainly be put to death. (Exodus 19:13)  ‘Not a hand is to touch it, but he shall certainly be stoned or shot with an arrow, whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, let them come near the mountain.” (Exodus 19:14)  And Mosheh came down from the mountain to the people and set the people apart, and they washed their garments. (Exodus 19:15)  And he said to the people, “Be prepared by the third day. Do not come near a wife.” (Exodus 19:16)  And it came to be, on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightning’s, and a thick cloud on the mountain. And the sound of the ram’s horn was very loud, and all the people who were in the camp trembled. (Exodus 19:17)  And Mosheh brought the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. (Exodus 19:18)  And Mount Sinai was in smoke, all of it, because יהוה descended upon it in fire. And its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly. (Exodus 19:19)  And when the blast of the ram’s horn sounded long and became louder and louder, Mosheh spoke, and Elohim answered him by voice. (Exodus 19:20)  And יהוה came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And יהוה called Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up. (Exodus 19:21)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go down, and warn the people, lest they break through unto יהוה to see, and many of them fall. (Exodus 19:22)  “And let the priests who come near יהוה set them apart too, lest יהוה break out against them.” (Exodus 19:23)  And Mosheh said to יהוה, “The people are not able to come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Make a border around the mountain and set it apart.’ ” (Exodus 19:24) And יהוה said to him, “Come, go down and then come up, you and Aharon with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to יהוה, lest He break out against them.” (Exodus 19:25)  And Mosheh went down to the people and spoke to them.

TEN WORDS- (Torah- Instructions-Commands-Law)

(Exodus 20:1)  And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, (Exodus 20:2) “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. (Exodus 20:3)  “You have no other mighty ones against my face. (Exodus 20:4)  “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, (Exodus 20:5)  you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, (Exodus 20:6) but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love me and guard my commands. (Exodus 20:7)  “You do not bring1 the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught. Footnote: 1Or lift up, or take. (Exodus 20:8)  “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. (Exodus 20:9)  “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, (Exodus 20:10) but the seventh day is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Footnote: 1There are other Sabbaths, but this is the weekly Sabbath. (Exodus 20:11)  “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. (Exodus 20:12)  “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Exodus 20:13)  “You do not murder. (Exodus 20:14)  “You do not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:15)  “You do not steal. (Exodus 20:16)  “You do not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:17)  “You do not covet your neighbor’s house; you do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.”

Yahweh’s power displayed- FEAR HIM- don’t fear the devil and the created beings (ALIENS-DEMONS)

(Exodus 20:18)  And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, (Exodus 20:19) and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:20)  And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do not sin.” (Exodus 20:21)  So the people stood at a distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was. (Exodus 20:22)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ĕl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens. (Exodus 20:23)  ‘You do not make besides me mighty ones of silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves. (Exodus 20:24)  ‘Make an altar of earth for me, and you shall slaughter on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you. (Exodus 20:25)  ‘And if you make me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it. (Exodus 20:26)  ‘Nor do you go up by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’

Mighty Elohim is He whom we serve!

(Isaiah 6:1)  In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal (Temple). (Isaiah 6:2)  Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (Isaiah 6:3)  And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!” (Isaiah 6:4)  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. (Isaiah 6:5)  And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the sovereign, יהוה of hosts.” (Isaiah 6:6)  And one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. (Isaiah 6:7)  And he touched my mouth with it, and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your crookedness is taken away, and your sin is covered.” (Isaiah 6:8)  And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.” (Isaiah 6:9)  And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do not know.’ (Isaiah 6:10)  “Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.” (Isaiah 6:11)  Then I said, “יהוה, until when?” And He answered, “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land is laid waste, a ruin, (Isaiah 6:12) and יהוה has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. (Isaiah 6:13)  “But still, there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The set-apart seed is its stump!” (Isaiah 7:1)  And it came to be in the days of Aḥaz son of Yotham, son of Uzziyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, that Retsin sovereign of Aram and Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, went up to Yerushalayim to fight against it, but could not prevail against it. (Isaiah 7:2)  And it was reported to the house of Dawiḏ, saying, “Aram has set up camp in Ephrayim.” And his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind. (Isaiah 7:3)  And יהוה said to Yeshayahu, “Go out now to meet Aḥaz, you and She’ar-Yashuḇ your son, at the end of the channel of the upper pool, on the highway of the Launderer’s Field, (Isaiah 7:4) and say to him, ‘Take heed, and be calm; do not fear or be faint-hearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce displeasure of Retsin and Aram, and the son of Remalyahu. (Isaiah 7:5)  ‘Because Aram, Ephrayim, and the son of Remalyahu have plotted evil against you, saying, (Isaiah 7:6)  “Let us go up against Yehuḏah and tear it apart, and break it open for ourselves, and set a sovereign over them, the son of Taḇe’ĕl.”

Our Deliverer is sitting at the right hand of the Father waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool!

(Isaiah 9:5)  For every boot of one trampling in tumult, and coat rolled in blood, shall be used for burning and fuel of fire. (Isaiah 9:6)  For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counselor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.

Find Pastor “LEAST” among us! (He disagrees with Yahshua’s words below and teaches the Torah- Law- Instructions are done away with!) 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!

(Matthew 5:17)  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.1 I did not come to destroy but to complete. Footnote: 1The Law and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. (Matthew 5:18)  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 16:17. (Matthew 5:19)  “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. (Matthew 5:20)  “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,1 you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 1Mt. 15:3-9, Mk. 7:7-13, John 7:19, Acts 7:53, Rom. 2:23-27, Gal. 6:13. (Matthew 5:21)  “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. (Matthew 5:22)  “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna. (Matthew 5:23)  “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you, (Matthew 5:24) leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:25)  “Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. (Matthew 5:26)  “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. (Matthew 5:27)  “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ (Matthew 5:28)  “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:29)  “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you that one of your members perishes, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gehenna. (Matthew 5:30)  “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you that one of your members perishes, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gehenna. (Matthew 5:31)  “And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ (Matthew 5:32)  “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, 1 makes her commit adultery.

(Matthew 5:33)  “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to יהוה.’ (Matthew 5:34)  “But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by the heaven, because it is Elohim’s throne; (Matthew 5:35) nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign; (Matthew 5:36) nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. (Matthew 5:37)  “But let your word ‘Yea’ be ‘Yea,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one. (Matthew 5:38)  “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’ (Matthew 5:39) but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. (Matthew 5:40)  “And he who wishes to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well. (Matthew 5:41)  “And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. (Matthew 5:42)  “Give to him who asks of you, and from him, who wishes to borrow from you, do not turn away. (Matthew 5:43)  “You heard that it was said, 1 ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Footnote: 1Hate your enemy was “said,” not “written.” (Matthew 5:44)  “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you, (Matthew 5:45)  so that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 6:35, Acts 14:16-17. (Matthew 5:46)  “For if you love those loving you, what rewards have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too? (Matthew 5:47)  “And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Are the tax collectors not doing so too? (Matthew 5:48)  “Therefore, be perfect, 1 as your Father in the heavens is perfect. Footnote: 1Ex. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, 1 John 2:5, Heb. 6:1.

Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)

Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
