Bereisheet	Torah Study #1	“In the beginning.”
Readings: Genesis 1:1-6:8 (KJV)
Lessons:
Genesis 1:25- 31 (KJV) and Genesis 2 :1-9, 18-25 (KJV)
Did God create 2 races of man? The "higher textural critics" would have us believe such a notion. The documentary hypothesis proposes multiple authorship of Torah even posthumous appearance of the book of Deuteronomy. Such confusion is not of our God as Moses wrote all God said in Torah and recorded the history of the Hebrew nation as a "chosen people." Apostate thought has challenged the Biblical account with considerations such as who is Cain’s wife…??? …Likewise, consider Seth’s wife?? In Adam's day, the DNA genome was perfect and perfect begets perfect offspring.
Think Hebrew! .. 2 witnesses establish a fact as true in God’s Word. The second Genesis account high-lights the gems of Gods crown-ship. Genealogy of man (fall and restoration of man) The land…the Garden of Eden (Olam Haba) Man/woman as one (Echad) in God’s image. Sets up meaning of Echad (John 17:21)
God points out that man, every beast of the field and every fowl of the air were created from the dust of the earth. With a cursed earth, physical man shall return to dust of the earth and spiritual man his soul to eternal death. Man shall die as grass in their season... dust to dust . Our eternal destiny is changed by the 2 Comings of Christ. By free-will you put Christ in your life. The generation of a man/woman is like vapor. Choose this day whom you will serve. Yeshua Jesus brings life.
James 4:14 (KJV) 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Isaiah 40:1-8 (KJV) Is this a Messianic Passage? Can you see the 1st and 2nd coming of Christ. Where are the 2 witnesses? (gems in crown). Chiastic Hebrew Poetry (Hebrew Parallelism). Verses 7-8 (the spirit broods over the creation Gen 1:2 ).
Who is the grass and the comforting Spirit? .......Remez … Deuteronomy 32:1-6 Psalm 103:15-17 1 Peter 1:24-25 2 Samuel 23:1-6

Matthew 3:1-6 (KJV) Sound familiar??? The Bible is a 2 witness hologram with one message that points to Christ as the only door that leads to the Father and His Kingdom.
Deutero-Isaiah?....Again distortion of God's Word by the "higher intellectual critics" No...... only one Isaiah as Jesus tell us in John 12:37-41 (KJV) "37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?( Isaiah 53:1) 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Isaiah 6:9-10) 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him."
Books of Isaiah chapters 40-66 are messianic and correspond to the 27 New Testament Books.
Evidence of the Hand of God, His Holy Spirit, upon the inspired content woven into the whole of the Scriptures, Old Testament, Tanach, and New Testament.. Subtle humor and the wisdom of God in His messages to us.
Matthew = 40th Book of Bible. What does chapter 3 verse 3 say? .....Isaiah 40:3??

Noach	Torah Study #2	“Noah”
Readings: Genesis 6:1- 11:32 (KJV)
Today's Message: Let us examine man’s spiritual memory… Will he forget his Creator God? Man’s spiritual state during the Days of Noah? Genesis 6:5-8 (KJV)
God’s desires ? Genesis 9:1 (KJV) 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 witnesses Genesis 9:7 (KJV) 7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. Abba Father’ s desire was for man to spread over the face of the earth and be fruitful and multiply.
Lessons:
TORAH
Man’s desires? Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV) A wicked and perverse generation occupied Babel. Man’s Plan ….. When we rely on man, corruption of flesh and spirit occurs as in Babel. They ascend to “be like god”
Now contrast God’s Plan vs. Man’s Plan God’s Plan is compassion and understanding….. Gen. 8:20-22 (KJV)

HAFTORAH
What will the time of the end look like?
Daniel 12:4 (KJV) 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Where are we today? Population explosion; travel advancements; increase in knowledge; technology explosion; spiritual decline from the Church of Philadelphia to Laodicea just as in the days of Noah. Expect soon that the Day of Lord commeth. (Joel 2:1-2; Zeph 1:14-15)
Judges 2:1-10 (KJV) Desires of flesh vs. Spiritual memory. Did they really become an apostate people? Evidence: Nehemiah 8:17-18 (KJV) They had forgotten the Feasts of the Lord. They had forgotten to rest the land in the sabbatical year. They lost their Torah. Origin of Haftorah was in Babylon.

Sin will be punished as the Father cannot look upon evil.
Habakkuk 1:12-13 (KJV) 12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them (the heathen) for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. 13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. Abba sees not your sin as you are covered by the Blood of Yeshua Jesus.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 1:18-32 (KJV) The creation attests to a Creator. The creation bears witness of intelligent design……. Our Creator Father. Do sinners, unbelievers, the wicked, the unrighteous have a destination in God’s Plan? Yes, the White Throne Judgment and eternal death in the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 21:7-8 (KJV) Be an overcomer with oil in your lamp, a light to the world by your walk (Halacha).
1 John 5:5 (KJV)5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Revelation 1:5b-6 (KJV)5 ….(Jesus) washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Don’t reject Abba's offer to you of eternal Salvation through His Son, Yeshua Jesus. Retain you relationship with Christ. Don’t have loss of spiritual memory as the Israelites did for none of us are good enough to get to heaven without Christ. You little Children ……. let not your flesh man live in defiance to the Word of God…..seek things from above.
Build up treasures in the Kingdom of God. You live in this world but you are not of this world.

How should we live???? Stay Christ Centered, love one another. Let the words of your mouth reflect your heart. Hold onto no thorns of bitterness. Bring all your cares to the foot of the cross and give them to Jesus.

Lech Lecha	Torah Study #3	"Go out"
Readings: Genesis 12:1- 17:27
Melchisedec’s Priesthood is the key to understanding the Rapture and Tribulation wraths. Who is Melchezedek and whom are the Kings with crowns and Priests with white robes of this Priesthood that sits around the Throne room?
This Priest is from everlasting and before the foundations of the world.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 14:17-20 (KJV) Who is Melchizedek? Is he a Canaanite King? He honored the same God as Abraham. Was he Shem?? Is there a clue in his Hebrew name?
Melchizedek (OT) /Melchisedec (NT) Melech = King; Tzadek = Righteous one. Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6-7) Hebrew meaning of name Melchezedek is King of Righteousness, King of Justice, My King of Righteousness King of Salam= King of Peace=King of Jerusalem=King of Tzion. Is This Yeshua Jesus?

HAFTORAH
A Psalm of King ….. Psalm 110:1-7 (KJV) King David’s Lord is the Messiah Yeshua Jesus. Psalm 110:4 (KJV) 4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. What is the Lord Abba telling us of Yeshua Jesus? What and How did He swear?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 4:14-16 (KJV) We have a High Priest who knows our human nature. Christ is at the Right Hand of the Father as our Intercessor and High Priest. As our Priest, we can come boldly into the throne of grace and mercy. How is this in contrast to the Levitical Priesthood? Think of it: Christ’s millennial reign is as King of kings and Lord of lords and Priest of priests.

Hebrews 5:5-10 (KJV) “My Begotten Son, a priest”…. The Father is trying to tell us something....Shema.....hear. He ordained Yeshua Jesus as a Priest forever.
A High Priest after the order of Melchisedec by two witnesses! Chiastic Hebrew structure...God means what he says and says what he means! Do you get the point?
verses 6 and 10: Hebrews 5:6 (KJV) 6b ...Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:1-4 (KJV) A priest of God continually. Verse 3…” an eternal being” (recall Psalm 110:4)
“like unto the Son of God” ……A Christophany (theophany of Christ)…..the sum of the matter:......An incarnate appearance of Jesus.
Establishes OT/NT principle of 10% tithes of newly acquired commodities is the Lord's share (Malachi 3:6-12). authenticated by two witnesses: ....verses 2 and 4.

Hebrews 7:9-20 (KJV) Why another priesthood? Before the existence of the Levitical priesthood, what was the Hebrew practice of priestly responsibilities?
What was the responsibility of the eldest son? He was the priest of the family. This was the Hebrew tradition before the Exodus.
The Priesthood of Melchisedec is from what tribe? ...Judah ....but not ordained as a priestly tribe by the law of Moses. The Priesthood of Melchisedec is the ultimate Priesthood of the Father given by oath to His Son of the Tribe of Judah . The Levitical priesthood is subservient to the Priesthood of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:21-28 (KJV) SHEMA....It's no longer Chiastic Hebrew parallelism but FLASHING neon lights. FIVE TIMES: "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek"
Christ made High Priest by oath of God.. No higher authority can make such an oath than to swear by the Name of the Creator God. Hebrews 6:13 (KJV) 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Abba ordained His Son as Priest and King from before the foundations of Earth.... An unchangeable Priesthood.
What is this priesthood notion? A priesthood need attendees! Hebrews 7:24 (KJV) 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (bold mine) What is Yeshua Jesus' Priesthood?
These verses are alluding to what?? 1 Peter 2:5 (KJV)5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Just as the Levitical priests, we may enter the Holy place. Hebrews 10:19-20 (KJV)19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;(underlining mine) We are that royal, holy Priesthood covered by the blood of Jesus, that we may appear in white linen robes and crowns to boldly enter the Throne room. The Book of Revelation establishes our role in Melchisedec's Priesthood.

Revelation 1:5b-6 (KJV) 5 ….(Jesus) washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (mine) Revelation 5:10 (KJV) 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The Priesthood of Melchisedec is the ultimate Priesthood of the Father given by oath to His Son of the Tribe of Judah . The Levitical priesthood is subservient to the Priesthood of Melchisedec. Yeshua Jesus was ordained from the beginning as a only Begotten son and Priest forever to rule as King and Lord.

Let us see if you have spiritual eyes and can connect the points?
Review the sequence: John called by trumpet to arise to an open door of Heaven. (Rev 4:1-3) (a Yom Terurah passage) The Church is before Throne of God metaphorically as the seven lamps (Rev. 4:5; 1:20) and the Overcomers of Church are the 24 Elders….They are Kings and Priests redeemed by the blood of the Lamb from all kindred's, tongues and people (Rev. 5:9-10). With the court seated then the Lamb opens the 7-sealed Hebrew book (Rev. 6:1-17)....surprise??? !!!!
The mystery of ECHAD: The hidden wisdom of Abba as He preserves a remnant unto Himself. He has hidden amongst the Gentiles (Melo ha Goyim) a people “called by His name,” Christians. They are the Redeemed in Christ. The overcomers. The redeemed remnant of Ephraim. The wholesome Body of Christ. The Bride as joint heir of the Kingdom. Elders as Kings and Priests. The Army of Christ in white linen and crowns on white horses.

Hayei Sarah	TORAH STUDY #5	"And Sarah's life"
Torah weekly Reading: Genesis 23:1-25:18
Who are the ancient enemies of Israel? Canaanites, Philistines, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greco-Romans. Today, these are all a part of the nations turning against Israel.
Zechariah 12:2-3 (KJV) 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Lessons:
TORAH

Today’s study: Genesis 25:1-6 (KJV) Let us examine the Sons of Keturah . They are the Midianites, the the Arabs of Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
Genesis 25:12-18 (KJV) Who are the Sons of Ishmael . …the Muslims of Mecca and the Muslim world, numbering over 1to 1+ billion people.
Who are the Sons Esau. They are the Edomites (Indumaeans) of Jordan and their intermarried offspring with Roman emperors and European royalty. Esau also intermarried into Ishmael's Muslim lineage by marring His daughter Mahalath (Genesis 28:8-9) Who are the sons of Lot …There has been much genetic intermingling of ancient Jordanian offspring from Moab and Ammon and Idumaeans with the relocated Islamic people.
Islam is a religion their god, Allah. Herein lie their genetic roots amongst these ancient tribes of the Bible. Today, Islam as a religion numbers about 2 billion people.

HAFTORAH
Ezekiel 38:1-6 (KJV) The players in Gog-Magog invasion of Israel. Islamic allies with Russia.
• Gog (Assyrian of North) Leader of the nation Magog= Russia • Persia= Iran • Cush = Ethiopia and Africa • Phut= Libya • Gomer = former Soviet Union republics and Baltic states (Germany?) • Togarmah, Tubal & Meshech =Turkey Watching on the sidelines are these nations!
Sheba and Dedan= Saudi Arabia Tarshish= Britain Young lions =USA & Canada Mysteriously not mentioned are these nations!
Syria (Damascus) Iraq Jordan Egypt
Ezekiel 38:16-23 (KJV) A latter day scenario. V. 20,22 is the time of Tribulation when Almighty God shall prevail.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
The New Testament is nearly silent on the Gog/Magog Invasion of Israel But What does Jesus say about this time of Gog/Magog? Matthew 24: 9-12 (KJV) Whom is Jesus is speaking about when He said (“they shall deliver you up”)
Jesus is speaking to His Jewish brothers saying they shall deliver you, Jews , up .... just as Zechariah 12:2-3 prophesied that all nations will come against Jerusalem and Judea as Jerusalem will be a burdensome stone for all people and all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces.

Revelation 6:1-8 (KJV) describes the four horses and horsemen of the apocalypse. Note, the pale horse (pale in the Greek is khloros (chloros) meaning green color. This horseman conquers with the sword. Is this Islam with the sword of Allah?

Closely, watch current geo-political events as most of the players are now in place. All we need is a hook for the Russia leader and unregulated nuclear proliferation. Yes, now the remaining puzzle pieces are recognizable even before they are put in place! The scriptures foretell of worldwide destruction by fire.

Toldot	TORAH STUDY #6		"Generations"
Readings: Genesis 25:19-28:9
Today’s message: Children of the Promise. The “chosen” and “called-out” people of the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
Last week, we discussed the offspring of Abraham from his other wives, and the ancient enemies of Israel .
Lessons:
TORAH

Genesis 14:13 (KJV) 12 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre..
Meaning of a Hebrew name:
Abram		Abraham
high and lofty thinker honored father high father		Father of multitude, Father of great multitude Father of mercy Father of many nations (Which nations?)
Children of Abraham. Consider,all the children of Abraham, all the offspring of his wives and concubines, are they Hebrews? No, only those that are Israelites of the "seed" of Abraham-Isaac-Jacob. His children are too numerous to count? Dust…. Genesis 13:16 (KJV)16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Stars…. Genesis 15:5 (KJV) 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. Sand … Genesis 22:17 (KJV) 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Today: Islam = 2 billion; Jews =14 million; Christians 2 billion. Are the Christians the dust, stars, sand of Abraham? Abraham’s heirs according to Abba’s plan. Genesis 17:4 (KJV) By 2 witnesses: Genesis 17:5 (KJV)
Genesis 25:19-34 (KJV) Isaac’s twin sons. Are they of different characteristics and personalities? Jacob was a conniver? Can God use a conniver? Yes, but He changed his name. Will you have a new name?
Is our Hebrew birthright important? Genesis 28:1-9 (KJV) Jacob to take a wife from offspring of uncle Laban. As a Hebrew, he finds his bride amongst the pagans of Padan-aram. Where is Christ's Bride amongst the nations? Esau takes wife from uncle’s (Ishmael) daughter to be his wife. Note, the mixing of Esau’s blood line with Muslims.

HAFTORAH
Micah 7:14-23 (KJV) What is thy rod? How are the people fed with the rod? Our spiritual sustenance comes from the whole of the Scriptures.We feed on God's Word. When the remnant is restored in the land, the nations will be confounded by God’s awesome nature and compassion for His people. Abba takes care of His people; His remnant of His flock, the flock of Israel’s heritage; the Children of the Promise. Our Heritage is through Abraham/Isaac/Jacob. Abba will have compassion on the remnant of His heritage.
Psalm 105:1-10 (KJV) O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. Let the heart of them that rejoice seek the Lord. Children of the Promise rejoice in the Lord.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Who are the Children of the Promise?
Offspring of Ishmael? Offspring of Keturah ? Offspring of Isaac?

Romans 9:6-15 (KJV) Who are counted the “children of the Promise?”

Galatians 4:28-31 (KJV) “Children of the Promise” born after the Spirit.

As heirs to the kingdom through Christ, how do we relate to being children of the Promise? Galatians 3:24-29 (KJV) Are we under the schoolmaster Torah for salvation? The righteous are justified by Faith (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 3:28) Torah is the plumb line for your Halachah to walk in fellowship with God. Yeshua Jesus said "if you love me keep My Commandments."
Question Does God really hate Esau!
Rom 9:13 (KJV) As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Heb 12:16 (KJV) Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. What is written is written...What God says God means. He doesn't like Esau less but hates Esau just as He hates sin.
What happens if you give up your birthright? By Christ’s death (testator) by His blood and broken body, we believers/overcomers become His heirs (New Testament/will). We have a birthright we claim in Romans 10:9-10.

11-17-07 (7 Kislev 5768)	Torah Study #7	Vayetze….. ”and He went out”
Readings: Genesis 28:10-32:3
Today’s message: Kingdom Promises for the Children of the Promise …a Separating of light from darkness.
Contrasting eternal destinies.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 28:10-22 (KJV) Discuss: What did Jacob see? Is this what Stephen also saw? Can we see it also? Yes, this is our hope for today ..the Olam Haba ….The Kingdom Promise.

HAFTORAH
Hosea 14:1-9 (KJV) How do we return unto the Lord?.... By His WORD …His Holy Bible. Don’t depend upon worldly powers and influences, be humble, have no idols, have deep roots. Be watered as we were in Eden when we walked with God. (Gen. 2:5-6). Repent Ephraim ..yea “scattered seed ” (Jezreel) of Joseph. Who shall understand the things of God. … THOSE WITH SPIRITUAL EYES!

Psalm 28:1-9 (KJV) Who is the Rock? Where else is He in the reading? The Shield the Saving (salvation,Yeshua) strength His anointed.
We see a dialogue to separate the wheat from the chaff which will be burned. (Two pathways)

How do we approach the Lord? – I cry …be not silent. proclaim the Name of the LORD – Voice in supplications – Up-lifted hands in worship – Praise songs

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Bible Encrypted messages: A Veiled Gospel …for believers eyes only!
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV) 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. ( mine)*
NT mysteries are revealed to the overcomers with Holy Spirit's insight. The word mystery is used 22 times and mysteries 5 times. Does that mean anything to the Hebrew student?

Ephesians 3:1-6 (KJV) The Mystery of Christ ..hidden aforetime as in Psalm 28. Now revealed is the mystery of Christ and that we, as Gentiles, are Kingdom heirs.
We shall accomplish all things through Christ.

Colossians 3:1-17 (KJV) How should we, Gentiles, behave in contrast to our former self? Wrath falls upon the Children of disobedience (Romans 1:18) and not the Children of the Promise (1Thes. 5:9 Rom. 5:9).
Note, the contrasting pathways. (Light vs. darkness) Bring all things together in Christ as a “new man” in the image of our Creator.
How do we find the Kingdom? A simple, sincere, sinners prayer of repentance and acceptance of Yeshua Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. What can we do to achieve the Kingdom Promises? Very simple ….by Your walk (Halachah) with Fruits of the Spirit… especially love, humility and forgiveness

Matthew 22:37-40 (KJV) 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mark 11:25-26 (KJV) 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. *26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.**
*Deleted from NIV and many “Newer” Bibles based upon NT translations using the Egyptian manuscripts from the worldly, corrupt school at School of Alexandria, Egypt (codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus).

Esau Complex …. Prophetic of our selfishness and evil
Describes the man of the flesh. Womanizer, hunter/stalker, harbors hate-murder, birthright is meaningless, seeks immediate gratification.
Meaning of his Name. Hairy, red-ruddy, rosy, rough handling, to do, to make, be busy, industrious, bestow, to feast, fashion, to fix, to fly, dress, to deck, be occupied, perform, to take, to trim, to spend, sin, warrior, work-man. Sound like Santa Clause??
They have been an anti-Semitic people since Israel’s first encounter with King of Edom (Num. 20:14-21)
An ancient enemy of Israel through Amalek, the grandson of Ishmael.
Offspring beget a genetic hybrid of evil Edomites/Idumaeans, Muslims, Roman-European royalty…..to become part of revised Roman Empire of the last days.

11-24-07 (14 Kislev 5768)	Torah Study #8	Vayishlach “And he sent”
Readings: Genesis 32:4-36:43
Today’s topic: Understanding Abba’s wisdom to preserve the whole House of Judah. Why a family divided?
Proverbs 25:2 (KJV) 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
1Corinthians 2:7 (KJV) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
We are living in a time, a generation, of which the Bible speaks more about that any other time or to any other generation!
Lessons:
TORAH

Genesis 32:1-10 (KJV) Division within a family.. Since birth, strife has existed between Esau and Jacob. Jacob attempts to reconcile with his brother. Yet, Esau became ancient enemies of Israel through Amalek as we have studied in past weeks.
Jacob’s survival plan was to divide his family into 2 bands….. Genesis 33:1-2 (KJV) For survival, Jacob divides his family into 2 separate groups? Prophetic ?

HAFTORAH
The wisdom of God was to scatter His people and to re-gather them in His time, at the end of the age, when He brings in the Messianic Kingdom into its full glory.
Observe how God works: Scattering and re gathering of Jezreel, Lo-ruhamah, Lo-ammi (Book of Hosea). Jezreel means “to sow or scatter”; Lo-ruhamah…..”to have no mercy”; Lo-ammi …… “You are not my people.” This is an OT mystery of God’s Plan.
Ezekiel 23:1-2 (KJV)1” The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:” (These sisters are Aholah ( Northern Kingdom or Ephraim or Samaria) and Aholibah (Southern Kingdom or Judah) represented as Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 23:4-9 (KJV) Samaria (Ephraim, Northern Kingdom) symbolic is Aholah, who plays the harlot with the Assyrians. They go into Assyrian captivity in 722 BC to be assimilated into the melo Ha Goyim as vapor.
Ezekiel 23:11-17 (KJV)…..Ezekiel 23:22-25 Aholibah’s whoredom is worse than her sister as she had many lovers and goes into Babylonian captivity in 606 BC and Roman captivity in 70 AD. Yes, more corrupt with more fornications … Assyrians, Chaldeans (Babylonians), Pekod, Shoa, Koa and Romans. Both sisters become a family divided amongst the nations. ( one with an identity and another assimilated or “lost”)
In the Hebrew Aholah means “ She is her tent” and Aholibah means “My tent is in her.”…….Interesting!
To this point, we have seen Jacob lay a plan to divide his family as prophetic of God’s destiny for unbelieving adulterous Israel, as the family of Jacob is divided amongst the nations as the “wandering Jew” and the assimilated Israelites ("lost 10 tribes") who took pagan wives.
What is next on God’s plan?
Ezekiel 37:15-22 (KJV) The divided Kingdom is to become one again under the New Covenant. The OT mystery of the Church….Messianic Jew and Christian Gentile are one. The New Testament of Jesus Christ allows the two sticks to become one in the Hand of God.
When is the re-gathering? During and after the Day of the Lord. Mark 13:24-27 (KJV); Zephaniah 1:14-15 (KJV); Amos 5:18-20 (KJV)…..Others [Micah 4:1-2 (KJV), Hosea 2:18-23 Amos 9:11-15 (KJV) (KJV), Joel 2:11-12 (KJV)]

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
How does the New Testament Gospel message take the re-gathering to a level of our understanding as believers?....all are one (Echad)!
Romans 9:24-27 (KJV) The "Lo: which in the Hebrew means "not" is removed and their names become Ruhamah …..”I will have mercy” and Ammi …… “You are my people.” The Lord's seed will not be extinguished.

John 11:49-52 (KJV) Caiaphas, the High Priest, prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation and nations and that "He should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad."

John 17:20-23 (KJV) Yeshua Jesus' Intercessory Prayer concludes the matter of the re-gathering.
John 17:21 (KJV) ^{21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.}

Colossians 3:11 (KJV) 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12-01-07 (21 Kislev 5768)	Torah Study #9	Vayeshev “And he dwelt”
Readings: Genesis 37:1-40:23
Today’s message: Torah is for our instructions. How do we deal with generational curses; iniquities; pagan and generational idols? A time for our preparation for Chanukah.
Chanukah is that special time of the year, when we should examine our Temple of God (our hearts and soul) and our homes for items not pleasing to Abba Father. It is a time for cleansing and rededication. It is a time to repent and reconcile ourselves, our family and others to Almighty God. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. If you know the Truth of God’s Scriptures, His WORD, that truth will set you free. We need to stay Christ-centered and walk in the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

TORAH
Genesis 38:13- 30(KJV) Is there a price we pay for sin of the flesh? What impact did this illicit affair have on Israel?
Deuteronomy 23:2 (KJV) 2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
A Curse was upon the bloodline of Judah. What was its impact on tribe of Judah? Judah shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. They needed a tribal representative? In choosing the spies, was Caleb of the tribe of Judah? (Joshua 14:6) Matthew 1:3-6 (KJV) How many generations to King David?
1. And Judas begat Phares 2. Esrom 3. Aram 4. Aminadab 5. Naasson; 6. Salmon 7. Booz 8. Obed 9. Jesse 10 . David the king

Are there generational iniquities?
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Exodus 20:4-6 (KJV) 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Who hates God? Hate in the Hebrew is sane, pronounced "say-nay." There is agreement in the concordances (SH 8130; DBLH 8533; TWOTH 2272) that this is defined as hate, enemy , hateful, dislike.
With this special insight: DBLH....implying a refusal of relationship; SH .... hater of person, nations, God, or wisdom; TWOT....hate as meaning to express sin.
How is this Hebrew word, sane, used in comparison passages? Deuteronomy 16:21-22 (KJV) 21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. 22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth. Can we do hateful things against God’s will, His wisdom , His WORD?....NO!God hates sin under both the 1^stand 2^ndcovenant. Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. How can we be in God’s image if we do the things He hates.
Unfortunately, few people today, know enough about their forefathers to know what their iniquities were. ..or what traditions they practiced. We are down downstream victims of the iniquities of our ancestors. Iniquities of our forefathers can have a devastating effect on our lives with people hating; feuding; stubbornness; divorce; incest; poverty; uncontrolled anger; unbelief; alcoholism/drugs…etc.

Generational /Family/Territorial Curses:
Examples: Abraham lies about Sara as wife (to Pharaoh ..Gen. 12:13; to Abimelech.. Gen. 20:2) Isaac lies about Rebekah (to same Abimelech ..Gen. 26:7); Jacob is born a conniver and deceiver (Gen. 27:24); Jacob’s sons (deceive a Hivite prince.. Gen. 34:13), (Joseph bloody coat to deceive Jacob Gen.37:32) King David is conceived in iniquity (Ps. 51:5);He commits adultery with Bathsheba (2 Sam. 11:4); His son Ammon rapes Tamar (2 Sam. 13:11); Absalom takes father’s concubines (2 Sam. 16:22); sexual excess reigns in Solomon (1 Kings 11:3) Derek Prince's video and book on Blessings and Curses…describe poverty attached to demon curse of Chinese dragon tapestry Rebecca Brown M.D in her Book, Unbroken Curses, described curse of poverty associated with Mexican beggar figurines.

HAFTORAH
2 Kings 17:7-18 (KJV) The Samaritans turned from an omnipresent God to do things in secret. They could not serve Abba Father with their country, city, home or self polluted with disobedience and idols. They permitted and advocated serving idols in “high places,” groves and amongst green trees. Idolatry strongholds were established with territorial authority. They turned their backs to the desires of the Lord. We cannot turn our backs to the desires of the Lord.

Human nature and Irresistible Strongholds:
1 Kings 15:14 (KJV) 14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 1 Kings 22:43 (KJV) 43 And he (Jehoshaphat) walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. What does Abba command about pagan objects? Deuteronomy 12:1-4 (KJV) 1 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. 2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: 3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Deuteronomy 7:25-26 (KJV) 25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

New Testament (Brit Chadasha)
Acts 19:23-28 (KJV) Trinkets of Idols are for profiteering. We collect art ware indiscriminately. What is the nature of your children’s toys? What about video games? Play Station? Some artwork of other cultures reflect items relating to death and dying…..We serve a God of the living not of the dead. Ask what is the spirit behind that art work, toy’s, game, book, movie ….. etc. Have discernment!

2 Corinthians 6:11-7:1 (KJV) Be ye also enlarged in your heart as a reward. Keep light separated from darkness . What do we have in common with idols? We are the Temple of God. Cleanse yourself. Touch no unclean thing. Leviticus 10:10 (KJV) 10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; Ezekiel 44:23 (KJV) 23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Your Abba Father cannot dwell in a defiled Temple
He is a Jealous God. Exodus 34:14 (KJV) 14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Jealous for what? Your attention, your obedience and your focus on Him as Lord…..do not defile yourself with things of the unbelievers and from pagan nations
2 Timothy 2:19-21 (KJV) 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Cleanse you temple and dwelling place.

12-8-07 (28 Kislev 5768)	Torah Study #10	Miketz “at the end”
Readings: Genesis 41:-44:17
Topic: Encryption: Josephis hidden as an “end time” mystery….. Abba’s mystery of the “wild vine.”
For the past several Torah studies, we have been studying the generations of man since creation and how God has chosen a 1st covenant and 2nd covenant people unto Himself. How He has identified the Children of the Promise as separate from the ancient enemies of Israel. The Children of God, His heirs, are the overcomers, who sit in the Throne Room of God as a royal Priesthood, being Kings and Priests of Melchisedec. Today, we examine the mystery of Joseph, a type of Christ and the “mystery” of finding our identification in Joseph.
Lessons:
TORAH

Genesis 41:46-54 (KJV) Are the Hebrew names of Joseph’s sons prophetic? Manasseh (concordance: to forget, to be forgotten) Joseph adds “and forget all my father’s house”) Ephraim (very fruitful, doubly fruitful)
How does God plan to use Ephraim and Manasseh when they become members of 12 tribes (13? 14?)

God plan for Joseph:
• Joseph in Hebrew means “ may God add,” “increase” • Portrays a “type of Christ.” • Depicts both Christ’s 1st & 2nd coming. – 1st presents as Messiah Ben Joseph as a servant slave in Egypt – Then rules as Messiah Ben David as agent of Pharaoh. • Starts Ministry at age 30 • Brothers jealous of him and desired him dead. • Sold for price of silver • Wrongfully accused. • Marries a Gentile pagan wife • Provides –sustenance/salvation to brothers in physical/spiritual famine. • All family reunited & live in land of plenty as ECHAD • What is symbolic significance of the coat of many colors. The nations of the world...humor Holy Spirit.


Mystery of Joseph through prophecy:
Genesis 49:22-26 (KJV) Let us examine the prophecies of Joseph to discern Abba Plan for Christ’s people. “To add or increase, be fruitful, to be well watered with blessing from above and below the heavens having an abundance of cattle and offspring to him that was “separated from his brother.” He is to extend his bounds into enemy territory and be shot at!…but prevail by the strength of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 33:13-17 (KJV) Same blessings from heaven and deep, abundant growth nourished by sun and having seasons of New Moons and Feast of the Lord. Blessings from mountains to hills and earth. Blessing on head of Joseph for strength and authority. He has his strength and power through Ephraim and Manasseh.

HAFTORAH
Ephraim (Israel, House of Israel) return to the Lord thy God.
Hosea 14:8 (KJV) 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

Jeremiah 31:6-9 (KJV) Israel (Ephraim) is re-gathered. Ephraim is my firstborn.
Jeremiah 31:18-21 (KJV) Ephraim is My son. My bowels are troubled for him. Set way-marks (dolmens) as you sojourn and for your return.



NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
We gentiles are the wild olive branch.
Romans 11:17-21 (KJV) 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

Jeremiah 2:20-21 (KJV) 20 For of old time I have broken thy (Israel, Ephraim) yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? (mine*)
The dispersed of Israel acknowledged by James.
James 1:1-18 (KJV)” To 12 scattered tribes.” perseverance in the faith. Endure temptations. Remember all things come from the Father in Heaven.

December 22, 2007 13 Tevet 5768	Torah Study #12	Vayechi "And he lived”
Readings: Genesis 47:28--50:26 (KJV)
Today’s teaching: Reconciliation, true forgiveness, restoration of brothers and a nation. An outpouring of God’s Saving Grace upon His People.
The One New Man is all Israel in Christ. The unredeemed House of Jacob is united in Christ with the Messianic Jew and Christians.
Lessons:
TORAH

Genesis 50:15-26 (KJV) Our sin nature haunts us….Recall last week's teaching , Joseph had freely forgiven his brothers (Gen. 45:5,15). But they still felt guilt, and thus fearful. Now Joseph’s brothers were unprotected by their father and knew they had to “face the music.” ………“Now that our father is dead, we’re dead!” Their recourse ….repent and ask forgiveness. Reconciliation brings heartfelt weeping and humility.
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? Joseph, in his great humility, is acknowledging that His brothers are showing him much, too much respect, as if all their happiness were dependent upon his favor.
Here we observe the House of Joseph comforting the House of Jacob.
Is “embalmed” a prophetic metaphor or is it expressing the humor of the Holy Spirit to those with spiritual eyes.? ……Not only was Joseph embalmed (verse 26) but also was Jacob embalmed (verse 2). Here again, we have the embalmed House of Joseph and the embalmed House of Judah! ......being eternally preserved!

HAFTORAH
Zechariah 10:1-12 (KJV) WOW ……..déjà vu….Book of Obadiah. What are the latter rains? The early rains prophetically refer to the Spring Feasts and to the 1st coming on the Messiah Yeshua Jesus. The latter rains prophetically refer to the Fall Feasts and to the Second coming of Messiah Yeshua Jesus.
A sign of the time: wonders amongst the heathen with idols that talk. Deception exist as there is a lack of Spiritual light. ..…a lack of knowledge of God's Word and there are no shepherds. The Goats, unbelieving heathen, are punished. The House of Judah is as the strength of goodly battle horses in prepares for battle? Is this battle that Time of Jacob’s trouble, the seventh week of Daniel. In verse V 4 out of the House of Judah comes a Deliverer, but by metaphors of Who is He? The corner…. Isa. 28:16 (corner stone), Headstone The nail …. Isa. 22:21-24 (Eliakim portrayed as a type of Yeshua Jesus). The Battle bow .. In Lamentations chapter 3, Jeremiah writes of God's punishment of Israel by the rod, his hand, and the Battle bow). All these metaphors are the hidden Yeshua Jesus of the 1st covenant. Out of Him of the tribe of Judah, came Messiah ben David, whom the Jew oppressed & these oppressors are to be united by Him in the Messianic Kingdom.
Abba Father will strengthen the House of Judah and. save house of Joseph. Saveיָשַׁעׁ [yasha] a verb means salvation or deliverance. Was not the House of Joseph assimilated amongst the gentiles to be sought out by the Holy Spirit as believers in Messiah Yeshua Jesus. The Church. Abba will impart great strengthen to the House of Judah so that the "wandering Jew" in exile can bear Israel’s identity amongst the heathen (meylo ha goyim).

More verses (7-10) defining Ephraim (House of Joseph) (House of Israel) (dispersed Northern Kingdom) ("lost 10 tribes") and their diasporas and their joy in the re-gathering. but where in expanded Judea do they return? ...... To Lebanon and Jordan (see Book of Obadiah).
Another great Exodus, as the sea will part and the rivers will dry up in Egypt. Egypt will lie desolate for 40 years (Ezek 29:9-12) and be without a ruler.
Who is the Assyrian? The Assyrian comes from the North and brings the Tribulation Gog/Magog invasion upon Israel and the World to start the count-down on the 70th week of Daniel. The Assyrian is a Russian-Iran axis which is being put into place at this very day.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 11:1-12 (KJV) In these passages Paul addresses God’s people, the Israelites and Jews. He intentionally focuses the discussion on remnant populations by his example of prophet Elijah. Today, amongst the 6 million Jews in Israel, only 4000+ admit they are Messianic Jews. Many more believers are crypto-messianic Jews even amongst the ultra-orthodox. Paul is defining a Messianic Jewish elect remnant that received Christ amongst the Jew of his time. The Messianic Jew was intermingled as a small portion in 1st century synagogues.
The Grace they received is Salvation through Christ ..not of their self ... through works. Works under Torah never justified anyone as salvation is not possible by works else wise Christ’s death was in vain. Most of the Jews, being unbelievers, are without grace of salvation in Christ and are blinded until fullness of gentiles. Since 1967, the Messianic Jewish believers are increasing in all nations of the world.
The unredeemed House of Jacob will be reconciled with the House of Joseph as the blindness is removed when they take-on the righteousness of Christ and are restored to their proper place in the Messianic Kingdom..

Matthew 23:37-24:2 (KJV) When will the One New Man (Orthodox Jew, Messianic Jew and Christian) unite in the Land? When unbelieving Jews call out ...Baruch Haba b’ Shem Adonai.... Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord.
And when will that be? During Great Tribulation. Matthew 24:15-22 (KJV) Flee when he (the antichrist) sits on the throne in Jerusalem and declares himself to be god.

12-29- 07 20 Tevet 5768	Torah Study #13	Shemot “Names”
Readings: Reading: Exodus 1:1-6:1
Today’s study: Our Father, The Almighty God, did miracles and wonders by His Holy Spirit in Moses and in Jesus and now He does them in us. Be aware of lying signs and wonders to deceive even the elect were it possible.
How do we do the work of the Father?
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 4:1-17 (KJV) What supernatural signs and wonders did God give Moses? 1. Rod.. meanings….a metaphor of what, Whom? Jesus (rod/sin (snake) Jesus became sin that He might swallow up sin (Ex. 7:9-12) 2. Leprous hand ….Unclean/ cleansed on heart Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 3. Water to Blood … Holy Spirit cleanses/ Righteous Blood on ground curses ground. Living water cleanses. Jesus' Blood cleanses.
Genesis 4:10-11 (KJV) 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Matthew 23:33-35 (KJV) 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Hebrews 12:23-24 (KJV) 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Exodus 4:1-17 (KJV) “I am slow in speech”? How did God solve the speech impediment? Aaron was to be the mouth of God for Moses. ….He spoke for God. ??....A prophet…speaks the word of God. Was Aaron a prophet?
Then what was Moses to represent? v 4:16c “and thou shalt be to him instead of God” Does the Scriptures explain itself?
Second witness for again in Exodus 7:1-2 (KJV) 1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
How is Moses is god?? ….Now what does this mean? V. 12 … “send whom you will send “ ..7971 שָׁלַח [shalach /shaw•lakh/] “send” a sent one (“send out”, to be sent off, to send off or away or out or forth,
Moses is not a sent-one, "shalach," as an apostle but is an agent of God.
Agent (sokhen nm) .. From Jewish law of Agency (Ned. 72b; Kidd. 41b) “ A agent is regarded as the person himself. ” An agent acts for one in higher authority with the full authority of the one who sent him (Principle person); any act committed by a duly appointed agent is regarded as having been committed by the principle person, who therefore, bears full responsibility on the part of the agent.”
Examples: of intercessors sent of God or agents: Adam, Moses, Kohen ha Gadol (High Priest), Yeshua Jesus, and us as empowered by the Ruach HaKodesh, the Comforter, sent by Yeshua Jesus. …….. You in-Christ go forth for the harvest is ready and workers few!!!

TANACH READINGS
1 Kings 17:20-40 (KJV) There were 850 idolatrous priests against one man of God (450 of Baal & 400 from the groves). Question to the people: Who will you follow Almighty God or Baal? The challenge was to call fire down from their god or the God Almighty. The rituals of priest of Baal prevailed uneventful for greater than 10 hours. Elijah had faith knowing the power of His God. So he made the circumstances indisputable….Water soaked X 3 the sacrifices. Elijah, as servant of God, called only once and Abba answered. Fire from Heaven.
In what role is Elijah serving…. He is a sokhen… an agent of God with power of Holy Spirit…
Jesus was a sokhen of God.
Acts 10:38 (KJV) 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Mark 16:14-18 (KJV) We are to be sokhen empowered by Holy Spirit.

John 14:12-14 (KJV) All by Name and authority of Jesus and by power of Holy Spirit.

Acts 3:1-11 (KJV) What is The Promise of the Father? ….The Comforter.. The Ruach HaKodesh, The Holy Spirit.

What sign and wonder did we read in last week’s Torah? Who preformed them?

Zechariah 10:2 (KJV) 2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
Which Idol will speak?
Revelation 13:11-15 (KJV) The beasts of Revelation…..The Unholy trinity. Leviathan …..Satan (Isa. 27:1) Dragon from sea…..1st beast…Antichrist taken over by Satan (one) (Isa. 27:1; Rev 13:1) Beast from Land ….2nd Beast ….false prophet/ power (Ezek 29:4-5; Rev. 13:11) Promotes idolatry/false worship system by bringing the Image to life

Gifts of miracles and healings require an anointed Holy Spirit filled people. Six times in His briefing to his disciples on the end time coming woes, Jesus said “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:11 (KJV))
Spiritual famine is in the land and some of God’s people are dying for lack of knowledge. They have milk of Word but have no Halachah (evidence of Fruits)
Miracles & healings will only occur where there is spiritual light , belief and Faith.
We must be zealous for the WORD and to do His commission as Sokhen (Agents empowered by the Holy Spirit).

1-5-08 (27 Tevet 5768)	Torah Study #14	Va’era “And I appeared”
Readings: Exodus 6:2-9:35
Today’s topic: The Almighty God does signs and wonders in Egypt greater than those of the sorcerers and magicians of Pharaoh. God’s awesome power is demonstrated that all people might believe.
The Exodus was a mixed-multitude as one people, Israel. As one people we shall joyously go into the land, but we must be prepared for spiritual warfare just as Joshua.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 9:13-35 (KJV). The Pharaoh was raised up for just that day to show God’s awesome power. Is there any other scriptural evidence that describes God’s foreknowledge of man’s purpose? Was not also Jeremiah. (Jeremiah 1:5). Some of the Egyptians believed in God’s authority and power. V. 20-21. Thunder, hail mingled with fire everywhere in Egypt except in Goshen…. A set-apart people.
Heed to the Lord. ...harden not your heart. A message for us? Re-consider daily obstacles, challenges, events---- are they from Abba to show His Awesome power in your life?

TANACH READINGS
Joshua 10:1-17 (KJV) Adoni –Zedec….WOW..a heathen by that name..a lord of Justice (righteousness) over Jerusalem???? Recall Joshua is a type of Yeshua Jesus. What heathen reigns over Jerusalem before Christ’s second Coming? Is this a picture of Christ’s battle with the antichrist and all the evil nations in Judea surrounding Jerusalem (Armageddon).
In our study of Obadiah ……all heathen drink continuously on My Holy Mountain…The heathen will plague Israel until the Day of the Lord when Messianic Kingdom established as tribes return. Lets examine the history of Jerusalem. Jerusalem at time of Abraham… “thy birth is the land of Canaan”; "Your Mother a Hittite & Father Amorite" (Ezek. 16:3). Inhabited by Jebusites before and after David’s day (Judges 1:21) and inhabited by heathen ever since even unto this day.
What is the oldest recorded land grant? .. Abraham's Covenant. What is the oldest recorded land purchase agreement? • Bible authenticates David’s land purchase contract. • 2 Samuel 24:23-24 David buys threshing floor and 1 Chronicles 21:22-30.. by two witnesses • Price of the threshing floor was 50 shekels of silver ($8,000); “The place” =600 shekels of gold ( 1.5 million dollars) This land is the official property of Israel.
Continuing Joshua 10:1-17 (KJV) V. 8 God goes before them and delivers the enemy to Joshua and even gives Joshua plenty of time …The long day of Joshua. Joshua was faithful to the Word of the Lord v 26-27.
Most our battles are already won by the Lord if we just fight them and not retreat. How do we prepare for spiritual warfare? Ephesians 6: 10-18 (KJV)

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Revelation 8:6-11 (KJV) Wormwood taken figuratively is a fallen political, governmental or religious leader, a fallen angel or Satan. It is a poison of the bitter wormwood desert plant, Absinthium Wormwood. It is used metaphorically in the Old Testament of the idolatry of Israel; of calamity and sorrow; of false judgment ….Other assumptions ---- a Nuclear missile. However, taken literally, means a burning star, a meteor and meteor trail.

We live the Torah!
The first meteor shower of 2008, the Quadrantids, peaks on the night of January 3/4. The Quadrantids are a meteor shower. Although the meteors all appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from the same spot, they can streak across any part of the sky. The Name comes from Quadrans Mulralis an obsolete constellation. The Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the year's biggest, in a regular basis producing 80 meteors per hour but many times difficult to see in the winter January sky.

What happened aforetime shall happen again.
Hail, fire…Exodus 9:23-25 Hailstones ..Joshua 10: 11 Hail and Fire 1st Trumpet ..Revelation 8:7 Revelation Mountain into sea….Revelation 8:8 Star (meteor) from heaven… Wormwood…..Revelation 8:10

Daniel 9:26 (KJV) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Matthew 24:7-8 (KJV) 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Exodus 10:21-29 (KJV) Dense darkness in all the Land of Egypt. Was there spiritual darkness also ? The wrath of God (the plagues) was directed against the Egyptian’s gods. Can you foresee spiritual darkness in our land? Examine the woes of Israel today after the Annapolis conference.
ISRAEL IS GOD'S PROPHETIC TIME-PEACE.

TANACH READINGS
Jeremiah 23:9-22 (KJV) The way of a false prophet or priest is slippery slope into darkness. They profane and distort the Word of the Lord. They say peace and (Still) safety (1 Thessalonians 5:3) and “No evil shall come upon you.” Discernment against “does the Bible really say ……..”We are close to the day of His visitation, the latter days. More than ever before we must test all things--- Acts 17:11
Signs begin with false teachings to bring spiritual darkness, then floods, wars, infections, famine, earthquakes. V. 22 … Listen to those that stand in the counsel of God’s WORD and turn from evil to good. Spiritual darkness begins with false teachers, and distortion of the WORD.
Isaiah 8:16-22 (KJV) A warning to God’s people of spiritual darkness to come. Where does spiritual darkness begin? It begins in the Body of Christ! Jude 1:1-16 (KJV) Beware of false teachers and prophets who distort the WORD of God. They walk after their own lusts.
Daniel 12:4 (KJV) 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
We have seen this prophecy fulfilled since 1880 and still everything increases. With the scriptures being unveiled to God's people and with the literal interpretation of the Scriptures, there is increased Bible knowledge. But as the believers spiritually grow, that knowledge creeps into the enemy's camp amongst the forces of the adversary showing them end time revelation. Hence, armed with good knowledge they can pervert God's WORD and by their distortions even the elect can be deceived unless Acts 17:11 is applied.
READ YOUR BIBLE--------TEST ALL DOCTRINE

BRIT CHADASHA
In Matthew 24, Jesus warns repeatedly “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”
Controversial teachings: Jesus not God but an attribute of God. Book of Hebrews not Biblical. Holy Spirit not a part of the Trinity (1 John 5:7 KJV only). Questioning Jesus' crucifixion place, type and nature.
• Example: Where was Christ Crucified? Apply Acts 17:11..What does the Word of God say?
• Matthew 27:32-33 (KJV) 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, • Mark 15:22 (KJV)22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. • Luke 23:32-33 (KJV) 32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. • John 19:17 (KJV) 17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Now, the landscape in Judea around the city of Jerusalem as been occupied and preserved by Islamic unbelievers. The country was barren and is nearly uninhabitable without the Jew. It was take under Moslem rule in 636 AD by the Caliph Omar and except for the Crusaders has remained under the Turks. It is the Jew that drained the swamps and made Israel (Judea) "a land of milk and honey" that now every nation desires it.
2 Timothy 3:13-17 (KJV) Beware of evil men. These false teachers bring curses upon themselves. Galatians 1:9 (KJV) 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
A take home message: In regard to your eternal fate, the Bible is the standard of TRUTH. Anything that departs from the Bible is false. Only when the Holy Spirit opens the Holy Scriptures for your understanding, will the light of Scriptures shine into your life, and then you will begin to understand how the adversary has been deceiving and cheating us.

1-19-08 (12 Shevat 5768)	Torah Study #16	Beshalach “When he sent”
Readings: Exodus 13:-17:16
Topic: New beginning for Hebrew slaves, for Israel going to the Land and for you to have everlasting life.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 14:21-31 (KJV) Moses, as the Lord’s sokhen, through the power of Holy Spirit, divided the waters of the Red Sea. A wall of water was on both sides as the Israelites walked on dry ground. All of the Pharaoh's Army pursued. To slow them down, so they would not overtake the fleeing Israelites, God their off their chariot wheels. And they all drowned as the waters returned for no man could escape that wall of water.
Remember that Moses said let us take a 3 day journey to worship our God and we will return. The Lord hardened the pharaoh’s heart to pursue the Israelites with all his army. When the Pharaoh who owned the Israelites, drowned in the waters of the Red Sea there was no longer bondage to slavery for God’s people.
Psalm 136:10-15 (KJV) 10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: 11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever: 12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. 13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: 15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. The Israelites were delivered by the mighty Hand of the Lord. They were free-men to start a new beginning.

TANACH
After 40 years of wilderness wanderings the Promised Land is given by God to the 12 tribes. Joshua conquered all that was before him (Josh 21:43) The Lord gave the Israelites rest ( Josh. 21:44). They divided the land unto the 12 tribes by lot. This was their new beginning. Joshua 24:13-16 (KJV) Joshua’s farewell address at Shechem.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Is there a new beginning for us !!..
Yes we can see it in the Gospel of John the 8th chapter John 8: 1-11 (KJV) Here we see Yeshua Jesus early in the morning teaching and feeding His sheep. A sinful woman , representing you and I , is brought before Him. Sinful man, in the presence of God, cannot cast stones at others as they themselves are accursed. Yeshua forgave her as He does us and said "sin no more."
John 8:12-32 (KJV) In these morning hours, Yeshua Jesus said "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Sinful man that dies in his sin shall not find Him. And in Verse 24 He says “ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins”. He stated that He spook the WORD of GOD. And as He spoke many believed. This is our road to a new beginning to be His disciples. Verse 8:31 “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed”;
John 8: 33-59 (KJV) What about those who accused Him of being born of fornication and did not believe Him. Yeshua Jesus characterizes these pious religious leaders as sons and servants of Satan.
Hence, in this chapter of the Gospel of John we see sinners being sent free to sin no more; we see a remnant of believers who will receive the Kingdom blessings of life as their new beginning; and we see those on the wide road to destruction.
Choose this day who you will serve?
Galatians 2:20-21 (KJV) 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Readings: Exodus 18:1-20:26
Topic: How does one approach Abba Father?
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 19:10-20 (KJV) God gave Moses instruction to the Israelites so that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob could meet with them. They are My people and I am their God. They were to cleanse themselves physically… ….but when will they be spiritually cleansed? They were spiritually cleansed after they heard the voice (debar) of God as He gave them the 10 Commandments.
How do we cleanse spiritually? By being a Doer of the WORD.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is an Awesome God

TANACH
Isaiah 6:1-8 (KJV) The throne of God is Holy. Isaiah is there with uncleanness of what? His lips and he comes from a people of unclean lips. The evil tongue (lashon hara) is our worst enemy and is the tool of the devil. Our mouth, tongue, reflects the true nature of our heart. It projects our mind-set of how we perceive others through our 5 senses.
His sins were purged with a hot coal. Is the "coal" a metaphor of Christ as only Yeshua Jesus can forgive our sin, iniquities.
“Here am I …send me”
How many of us would take on this mandate?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) Just as Isaiah was unclean before the Lord, so also have we been unclean. Come out from the curse of sin and receive the blessings of God. We, just like the Israelites at Mt. Sinai, are to wash and be cleansed. We are sanctified & justified by the blood of Christ.
Zechariah 3:1-7 (KJV) Who is the "Angel of the Lord"? Before the Father, our accuser stands next to our Intercessor, Yeshua Jesus, Who is now at the right Hand of God, the Father, as our High Priest and Intercessor. Joshua was plucked as a burning branch from the fire of damnation in filthy clothes. His sins were forgiven and he was clothed in new garments and given a crown. ………….
A royal priest (white robes and a crown). Prophetic of what? ..The Priesthood of Melchezedek, which is our calling as overcomers.
We also are plucked from the fires of hell and damnation as a burning branch, filthy and unclean. Yeshua Jesus is faithful and true and forgives all our sin as doers of the word, who know Torah and repent of our wrong-doings.
Keep My Commandments to receive the Blessings of Deuteronomy 28:1-14.
2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1 (KJV) You are the Temple of God. That Awesome Fire and Smoke dwells within you. Abba is calling out a people unto Himself in these last days….the Bride. Prepare yea yourself, cleanse yourself and be sanctified. He seeks to give you the love of a Father. “let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
Our fear of the Lord is the knowledge of His awesome nature, whereas, the unbeliever trembles and quakes at His wrath.

Readings: Exodus 21:1-24:18
Topic: Topic: How do we serve God.
We serve in obedience as servants, “called-out” ones, agents, overcomers and as Saints being Christians or Messianic Jew
Examples of servants of Christ: Paul: Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ; Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God. James: James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ Peter: 2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ Jude: Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 21:1-6 (KJV) Describes a bondservant. What does a servant do? They serve the master in obedience. Do they (we) have a Code of Conduct? Yes, His Holy Scriptures and sin is defined in the Torah.
What is our Code of Conduct?........Torah and the teachings of Yeshua Jesus
God’s 10 Commandments (WORD, Debar, Logos) and Torah (instructions); Also given as “mishpatim” “judgments”), which is the Torah code of conduct for be obedience to God.
Psalm 119 is in 22 Hebrew alefbet sections which give all the vocabulary for identifying how God deals with us in His Torah and gives the Torah as the WORD of God. Torah (S# 8451) = “law”, instructions) Greek is nomas judgments, ordinances =(S# 4941) = mishepatim command(ments) (S# 4687) = mitsvah word (S# 565) = imrah Abba's word (S# 1697) = Debar (Yeshua Jesus John 1:1) ways, course, moral conduct, S# 1870) ..... derek way (S#5401) =nashak path (S#734) =orach statutes (S# 5713) = edah (aydaw) testimony (s) (S# 5715) = edut (aydooth) precepts (S#6490) =piqqud decrees (S# 2706,2708) = choq walk, manner of living= (8#1980) = halak* wonders (S# 6381) = palah charge (S#4929, 4931) = mishmar counsel (8#6098)= ayizah
* Note, halak (Halachah) is what you do do with God's WORD to reflect in you life walk as a witness of Christ... Let your light shine. This is the charge Abba gives His servants. Yeshua Jesus said "If you love Me Keep My Commandments."
Having these instructions and guidelines directly from God is there varying sensitivities to the WORD of God on individual hearts?

TANACH
SERVANTS Some are called from foundations/womb …Jeremiah (1:5). Some are dedicated by oath before conception 1 Samuel 1:9-11; 27-28 (KJV) Others were called as Prophets to breach gaps in spiritual our foundations. God chose the Levite Priests as His servants and Priests. The 1st Covenant patriarchs whom were Torah observant serve God by being obedience servants. We are the bondservants of Christ, His Bride, the overcomers.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
A Parable…Mark 4:2-9 (KJV) Parables were for the ears of God's disciples.
Mark 4:13-14 (KJV) 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Interpretation (Mark 4:13-20): Seed= WORD of God = NT gospel of Salvation based on foundation of Tanach. Sower= those who preach the WORD and evangelize the gospel message. Soil= the receptive state of your heart (soul) and its sensitivity to the WORD. Fowls of air= unclean birds, adversary prevents WORD. Stony ground =poor soil for roots, a stony heart, weak spirited and unable to defend WORD. Thorns= choked by world cares and enticements of adversary. good ground= fruitful overcomer. good ground =fruitful overcomer with varying sensitivities for the wholeness of a salvation walk (Halachah) in the WORD of God.

What is a Parable? Parable (SH 4912) Mashal (maw-shawl). A Hebrew/Jewish way of teaching in the abstract, as a obscure story, usually requiring great thought or special enlightenment to unveil its meaning…..like a "puzzle." A presented message as a “one act” play with characters, metaphors, similitude's to represent the Biblical Plan of God with Biblical characters and circumstances….. Usually making a single point for instruction. Jesus taught in parables to preserve His message for His Sheep.
Matthew 13:13 (KJV) 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
NOW, A Parable for your interpretation. Luke 19:12-27 (KJV) ..the Talents.
Verse by verse…..but first think!
Who is the nobleman. Who are the servants. Why 10 servants? .........a minion, a complete number in Hebrew gamatria. What is a pound. .......100 pounds = a talent; given to each servant as a full measure to put on their heart to do the Great Commission while the Master is gone. Who are the citizens. When will He return Will He return with His rewards? Who is the wicked servant? God know the state of your thoughts, your heart. Who are mine enemies? *......* Humankind of the world are to be judged at the sheep and goat judgment ..then the Messianic Kingdom with Yeshua Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Is there varying sensitivities to the WORD of God on people's heart (soul)?

What is your soil?

2-09-08 (3 Adar I 5768)	Torah Study #19	Terumah “Heave offering”
Readings: Exodus 25:1-27:19
Topic: Providing Abba a House in which to dwell
Let us examine all the dwelling places of the Father, since the nation of Israel was formed even unto the future. He desires to be our God and we to be His people.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 25:1-9 (KJV) The Israelites left Egypt with great wealth (gold, silver, precious stones, linen) which they freely contributed to building God’s Tabernacle as a Terumah offering.
They gave these precious items willingly to build God's House as a "Heave Offering" not expecting any to return to themselves. Their offering were in such abundance that Moses had to restrain the people from bringing more (Exodus 36:5-7).

TANACH
2 Chronicle 3:1-17 (KJV) First Temple, Solomon’s Temple. Constructed on land purchased by King David for Israel from Ornan, the Jebusite. The Temple site is the legal property of Israel. King David had all the plans and provisions for the Temple (1 Chronicles 29:1-9).
Solomon added a porch in front of the House of God with two pillars aside the entrance. The Pillar on the right was called Jachin and the one on the left was called Boaz (1 Kings 7:15-22). Jachin means "He will establish," founding, "Whom God will strengthen" and Boaz means "In the Lord is strength", Fleetness, "Come in strength." This temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC.
Ezra 3:8-13; 5:1-17(KJV) Building of the Second Temple. Efforts to rebuild the Temple was begin by the first returning Jews from Babylon by edict of the king of Persia, Cyrus, in 536 BC under Zerubbabel, the governor, and Jeshua , the High Priest. Their Terumah was the works of their hands. A 2nd group of Jews returned in 457 BC under Ezra to help in this project. A 3rd group returned under Nehemiah in 444 BC returned to rebuild the walls. In 18 BC Herod, the Great began the expansion and remodeling of the Jerusalem temple and completed it by 64 AD.
The second Temple was destroyed by the Roman army in 70 AD.
Today's Temple Mount is desecrated by the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aksa Mosque.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
Where is God’s dwelling place today? Where is the Temple? His presence dwells within you!
Ephesians 2:19-22 (KJV) How is our temple built?
What is our Terumah offering?
Romans 12:1 (KJV) 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
His presence dwells within you. You are the 3rd Temple of God.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (KJV) 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 2 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV) 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
By the Spirit in our Temple were are spared from death and given everlasting life. For Just as Yeshua Jesus was raised from the dead, that same Holy Spirit within us will raise us from the dead to life.
Romans 8:10-11 (KJV) 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (to make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Where is our final dwelling place as overcomers in the Body of Christ , as The Bride.
Revelation 3:12 (KJV) 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God (like Jachin and Boaz),* and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.(*mine)
Three things Yeshua Jesus will write on the overcomer.
the Name of the Father, Abba, also known as HaShem or Adonai will be known to us. Today, His Name is ineffable. the Name of the Holy City.. the Brides dwelling place. Yeshua Jesus' New Name.
Our eternal dwelling place is in the presence of the Shekinah Glory of Abba and Jesus. Revelation 21:9-14 (KJV)

2-16-08 (10 Adar I 5768)	Torah Study #20	Tetzaveh “You shall Command”
Torah Reading: Exodus:27:20-30:10
Topic: Who is like You O God? Who separates darkness from light?
“You shall Command” and it shall be done. “You shall Command” and the darkness will be separated from the light… both in the physical and spiritual. You created the cosmos from nothing (bara) and You created man in your image from the dust.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 29:42-46 (KJV) The Lord will meet with His people and sanctify them. Thus, He did as the Tabernacle was completed. I am the Lord their God and I will dwell amongst them. Abba directs the fashioning of the priestly clothes for Aaronic Priesthood and the anointing of Aaron and His sons to their priestly office. Sacrifices are offered.
Exodus 27:20 (KJV) 20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. The menorah in the Tabernacle represents the light of Life.. beaten and bruised for our iniquities. There is a great struggle to bring light into the world…also a bruising to produce olive oil.
Today, apostate times and rebellious people denying the Gospel and denying the trinity, the person of the Holy Spirit.. Today’s spiritual failure is a consuming darkness.
“You shall Command” ……and the darkness will be separated from the light… both in the physical and spiritual. Genesis 1:3-4 (KJV) 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

TANACH
Who is like our God? Isaiah 40: 10-18 (KJV) An intelligent designer. Our Good Shepherd. The Holy Spirit as a counselor. Who is like our God? Isaiah 40:25-31 (KJV) “You shall Command” for you are the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator. Who is like our God Who brings darkness to light?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
The Gospel of John Chapter 9 This 9th chapter is the Tet Chapter – to surround, snake, serpent, may appear bad but is good

JOHN 9:1-4 (KJV) There is a continuation from chapter 8 v.59 Not that neither this man nor his parents sinned but, he is blind so the works of GOD may be revealed in him v.3. .... a congenital blindness where his visual apparatus did not develop in embryogenesis.
God works is manifest as Jesus proves that He is the Creator!

This is truly the passion, love, way… of Yeshua Jesus to work the works of Abba and to speak His words v.4 And what is the only night/day when no one can work? V.4 ....Shabbat. As Jesus heals the blind man the Sabbath approaches.
JOHN 9:5-8 (KJV) As long as the fire of life, the light of the world, is in the world HE will continue to ignite, consume or enlighten, the world v.5
John 9:6 (KJV) 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, What is Jesus doing with the clay and spittle.......making pottery as the potter. Creating a new eye out out the dirt of the earth. SOUND FAMILIAR? Genesis 2:7 (KJV) 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. formed is SH# 3335 meaning potter or to be formed, created. (sound familiar ...Isa. 29:16; isa. 64:8)
Siloam- means sent / sent-one / a sent out one. Amazing that this man was sent out, (apostle) and came back seeing (succeeding) through obedience in Jesus Christ v.7. Later like an apostle, he speaks boldly of Christ before his accusers. What does the lord do with the poor and the beggars? v.8 1st Samuel 2:8, Luke 16:19-31 (Lazarus and the rich man)… Therefore is this man a walking testimony of GOD’s love and mercy. Amen.
Isaiah 43:7-11 (KJV) Each chapter of Isaiah being echad (one or equal) with each book of the Bible, example- ch.1 = Genesis, ch.2 = Exodus…. The book of John is the 43rd book of the Bible (KJV), so naturally we go to the 43rd chapter of Isaiah. Now are we able to see the connection with Isaiah 43:7 and John 9:3. Also Isaiah 43:8-11 being in harmony with John 9. The Bible is woven together, through the work of The Holy Spirit, as a beautiful tapestry
JOHN 9:9-22 (KJV) We also received sight, physically and spiritually, when we confessed Yeshua Jesus as our Lord and Savior (Acts 9:18, Isaiah 42:16) ..... v.11 We know where HE is, because of washing and studying in HIS word. Yeshua Jesus is at the right hand of the Father in heaven (Romans 8:34, Colossians 3:1)… v.12 What is the prophetic message hidden in this verse? v.22 There is a time when the faithful will not be allowed into the House of God or to worship publicly. We are close to the time of the underground church with culmination in the "mark of the beast." (Revelation 13:17)
JOHN 9:23-38 (KJV) I know I was blind… (Romans 8:28) .... v.25 It is amazing that GOD would use a blind beggar to teach these Pharisees v.32-33 What a tragedy for these Pharisees to cast out one of Yeshua Jesus' sent-out ones. ... v.34 We also notice it was outcasts that followed David, which is a type/ shadow of the Messiah Jesus, in 1st Samuel 22:1-2. We know that Yeshua Jesus as a door, pathway… is a door no man can open or shut but Yeshua Jesus Himself. .... v.38
JOHN 9:38-41 (KJV) What a blessing it is that the Almighty Himself would come down to open the eyes of our hearts, so we may be able to see HIS only begotten son and accept HIM into our lives. And to close the physical eyes of the proud in order to open up the eyes of their hearts. .... v.39

Read your scriptures (KJV) daily, while being obedient and having faith. Know the WORD of God and be a doer of the WORD.

Torah Readings: Exodus 30:11-34:35
Topic: The WORD is upon rocky soil and amongst tares where there are believers with “itchy ears” following commentaries and commentators rather than being absorbed in the WORD and being a doer of the WORD.
Spiritual failure is to turn your back towards Abba and walk out of His fellowship.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 32:1-9 (KJV) Moses was delayed how long? ...less than a day! What day was it?.....9th Av. How quickly their minds and heart turned to evil. Why was Aaron’s leadership so weak? Aaron’s explanation . Exodus 32:24…WOW God knows immediately the heart of the people..... V 8. How did these Hebrew people “fall-away”.. ...they longed for the ways of the world (Egypt) and sought a familiar Idol, their sacred Apis bull. How do you get Egypt out of these Hebrew people?
How do you get the world out of the God’s people today?
Who is the god of this world who desires your allegiance?

TANACH
Judges 2:6-10 (KJV) They became an apostate people within only one generation. How do a people “fall-away”.. Their 2 sins are idolatry (turn their back on Abba) and disobedience (rebellion).
How many generations away are your brothers and sisters or your sons and daughters from refusing to hear the Gospel message of Salvation? Are the people becoming more attracted to the darkness….. Spiritual failure of the end times.
Our Declaration of Independence was signed on 4 July 1776 .......WOW only a nation for 232 years! We have turned our back to God in our schools and governmental public buildings. We are a rebellious lot ... a "lawless people" as many have fallen away from Torah.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT Chadasha)
Revelations 3:14-22 (KJV) What good things does Christ have to say about this Church? ...NONE! How does He express His pure disgust? ....spit them out! Laodicea was known as a banking center and had a famous medical school. They were known for an eye salve to heal the eyes.

Spiritual failure is a breach in fellowship with our Father. If you continue your rebellion He will "spew" you out of His mouth. Continue not to be boastful in your pride as you shall become empty broken vessels destine for eternal fire.
How are we brought back into a closer fellowship with Abba? Revelation 3:19 (KJV) 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Psalm 118:17-18 (KJV) 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Hebrews 12:6-8 (KJV) 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Anyone watching the devastating weather in America's heartland? What about the viral and bacterial petulance of repeated "winter colds?"
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Today America and the world is that Church of Laodicea.

Giving reflects their joy and unselfishness in serving the Lord.
Ezra 3:1-13 (KJV) The seventh month is Ethanim. (renamed Tishri from their Babylonian culture influences) What Feast of the Lord is approaching? Where were the people? What other Feast of the Lord did they observe? Out of 3-4 million Jews in Babylon only 42,000 returned to Jerusalem. They returned on the New Moon of Yom Teruah in 24 September 536 BC, the beginning of a sabbatical year.
In the second year Zerubbabel, the Governor, and Jeshua, the High Priest, began the building of God’s 2nd Temple. The foundation was laid with joy and weeping for those who remember the magnificent Solomon's Temple. Ezra returns in 457 BC with a remnant and Persian King Ahasuerus (Queen Esther's husband) decreed on March 14, 445 BC for the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under Governor Nehemiah, the King's cupbearer. Will these dates have prophetic implications? Consider? Fulfillment of the Prophecy of Daniel.
Psalm 118:26 (KJV) Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Zechariah 9:9 (KJV) 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

TANACH
Daniel 9:20-27 (KJV) Prophesized 69 weeks of years to Messiah and 70 weeks of years to the time of Jacob’s troubles. What is a Sabbatical year? 6 years and rest the land in the 7th year. A Sabbatical year is a week of years (a 7 year time period)
Have all these happened ?...transgression is finished…. an end is made of sins …There is reconciliation for iniquity…..everlasting righteousness is brought in…..Daniels vision and prophecy is sealed-up (Dan. 12:4)…..to anoint the most Holy. (Coronation of Jesus) We may answer yes!! ...as Messiah Yeshua Jesus fulfilled these 1st 4 events. Yes, for the Christians and Messianic Jews who believe and have salvation in the Name of Yeshua Jesus. ....but REMEMBER Daniel prophecy is to thy people (the Jew) v. 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, Prophesized 69 weeks of years (483 yr) to Messiah and 70 weeks of years to the time of Jacob’s troubles. Note, that the 70 weeks of years are given in intervals (7 and 62 = 69…. then gap then 1 week of year.) This last week of years has not happened as yet ....hence a gap.
Sir Robert Anderson in 1894 using Daniel’s prophecy and astronomy charts showed to the very date (173,880 days of 360 day/years on God's calendar) the return of Jesus to Jerusalem as King in triumphal entry on April 6, 32 AD. He used March 14, 445 BC from time of Ahasuerus' decree as the start point.
Prophecy in the News (PIN) in their December 2007 issue (page 6) using 14 September 536 BC as start date in sabbatical years show a similarly accurate calculation. Remember 536 BC was a Sabbatical year. They predicts the exact time of Triumphal entry in sabbatical years! 7 weeks of years (7 X7 =49 yrs) …. then a gap of 77 years…then 62 weeks of years (62 X7 = 434 years) …Which ends in a Sabbatical year, the year that Jesus started His ministry. The Triumphal entry was exactly @3 ½ years into Sabbatical year cycle at time of Passover Crucifixion. We are now in a gap …..of 2000+ years awaiting the 70th Week of Daniel as end time prophecy unfolds.
Using Daniel prophecy, 2nt century Jewish leaders modified dates to fit another "messiah."
The Seder Olam Rabbah (133 AD developed -1517 AD adopted as the official Jewish calendar) was developed to prove that Bar Kokhbah was the Jew’s Messiah (PIN August 2005). Seder Olam Rabbah is the Jewish Book of Order of the World. It is the basis for current Jewish Calendar with this being the 5768th year. By our Gregorian calendar it is year 2008 or year 6008 since creation (4000 + 2008 =6008). Hence, the two calendars are in disagreement by 240 years. WHY?? The Seder Olam Rabbah was compiled by Rabbi Akiva ben Joseph’s student Yose ben Halafta. During the Bar Kokhbah revolt (132-135 AD). The 90 year old Rabbi Akiva gave his blessing to Bar Kokhbah proclaiming him to be Israel’s long awaited messiah, “star out of Jacob” (Num. 24:17). The purpose of the Seder Olam was to make Daniel’s 70 week prophecy to point to Bar Kokhbah as the Jewish Messiah. (PIN Aug 2005)
Seder Olam vs. Ussher’s Annals of the World Calculation errors in Seder Olam: deletes from Abraham's early life……60 years; deletes from Abraham's late life.... 5 years; deletes from 1st Temple to 2nd .. 17 years; List only 5 of the 13 Persian Kings: Giving Persian Empire only 53 years instead of 207 (209) years. Therefore deletes ..154 years of Persian Empire rule over known world.
Seder Olam reports 5 Persian Kings over 53 years • . Darius …1 year • 2. Cyrus ……3 years • 3. Artaxerxes …½ year • 4. Ahasuerus ….14 years • 5. Darius ….. 35 years
Source: from Persian, Greek and Roman records, PIN and Ussher’s Annals of the World. Historical facts of the 13 Persian Kings ruling over 207 (209) years. • 1. Darius …1 year • 2.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
Luke 19:29-44 (KJV) The Messiah, our King, declares His day. *Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai*
Jesus held them accountable to know this day!
He prophesies destruction of Jerusalem and Temple.....and later in 70 AD, Jesus’ prophesy is fulfilled….. Temple and city was destroyed by Titus and the Roman ARMIES in 70 AD …..not a single Temple stone was not undone!
Where is Today’s Temple? How is your Temple built? Ephesians 2:21-22 (KJV) 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.(1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Cor. 6:19-20)
Torah can only be written on a heart, a circumcised heart, where through God's Mercy and Grace that you live righteous by faith. The Holy Spirit develops your spiritual senses, spiritual sensitivity and perception. You get Spiritual insight as read unveiled scriptures and become a doer of the WORD

Torah Readings: Exodus 38:21-40:38
Topic: In your presence O’ LORD
We are to be in image of Christ by our Fruits……a Light to the world
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 40:31-38 (KJV) Who is speaking to Moses? Who was the voice from Mt. Sinai amidst fire, smoke and lighting?
Deuteronomy 4:12 (KJV) 12 And the LORD spake (dabar) unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. When did the Lord 1st appear to Moses?
Exodus 20:1 (KJV) 1 And God spake (dabar) all these words (dabar), saying,.......the 10 Commandments. His WORD
Dabar (SH# 1696) is the God's WORD.

TANACH
Introduction to Ezekiel reading : Ezekiel 1:4-5 (KJV) 4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures.
Ezekiel 1:24-28 (KJV) Who was the voice? the image of a man? The appearance of Shekinah? Ezekiel’s response? We fall prostrate before the living God in praise and honor of His Holy Name.
Isaiah 6:1-4 (KJV) What did Isaiah see? A pattern developing? The voice!
Daniel 10:2-11 (KJV) Interesting as we now see the appearance of the incarnate Yeshua Jesus? What was Daniel’s response? Note: Again the voice…..
Why is Jesus called the WORD? ..........Hummmm

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
Revelation 1:10-18 (KJV) Sound familiar to the others descriptions, especially Daniel's vision?

How does God (Elohim) present Himself?
As the Trinity. 1 John 5:7 (KJV) The Father, Son (WORD) and the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus God? even today, Arianism is a popular viewpoint to confuse the Body of Christ. Arianism—the doctrine of Bishop Arius of Alexandria, taught that Yeshua Jesus was not God (as the Father was God), but that Yeshua Jesus was a created being exalted above all other creatures. He was an attribute of God to do the work of the Father as "mere man." They believed in the Father as God and not in the Trinity (a Godhead) and that Yeshua Jesus was a created being. Jesus was more than "mere man," He was the Son of God. The Council of Nicene (325 AD) was ordered by Constantine in order to eliminate the main conflict plaguing the doctrine of the growing new Church. The controversy was over the nature of God and nature of Yeshua Jesus. It was this controversy that gave birth to the Nicene Creed. This issue was bitterly debated with the Arians and 314 of the 318 attendees signed the Nicene Creed. Four would not sign it; because they held Arian beliefs. Isn't it remarkable how a minority can confuse the Body of Christ,. Even today, the Christian majority is asleep while 3-4% of vocal unbelievers dictate policy. Why is there no school prayer and school and governmental posted 10 Commandments. Why do we allow abortions and endorse alternative life style and alternative family composition? WHY???.....because of the silent complacent Christian majority. Jesus is God. Hebrews 1:8(KJV); John 1:1 (KJV); as Creator…..Colossians 1:16-20 (KJV)
Confession of our Faith* I believe in One God (Elohim), The Father Almighty, creator of the Heaven and Earth. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten of the Father. God from God, light from light, true God from true God, Begotten, not made, of one being with the Father, Through whom all things came to be, those things that are in heaven and those things that are on earth, visible and invisible, rather they be powers or domains, principalities or powers all things were made by Him and for Him. For us and for our salvation, He came down from the heaven, born of the Virgin Mary; He was made flesh, and was made man. He was crucified died death and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory, to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. I believe in the forgiveness of sin(s); the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting ….Amen • Modified from 625 AD Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.
Beware of false teachers, false preachers, False prophets that teach Jesus is not God.

In Whose image are we made?
We are in the Image of Christ (Elohim, the Godhead) …..Body, Soul and Spirit. (Genesis 1:26-27 KJV) God the Father is Spirit….Jesus tells us that the Father is a Spirit…(John 4:24) God (SG# 2316) The Father cannot look on sin. Habakkuk 1:13 (KJV) 13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: 1 John 1:5 (KJV) 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. In order for God the Father to function amongst us He needs the Body of Christ and a Holy Spirit that can dwell amongst us and look upon our evil (disobedience and Idolatry). Elohim will never leave or forsake the believer.

Glory to Glory A process: begins with Salvation in Name of Jesus; Justification; Sanctification; and Glorification. You become into Christ’s Image as a doer of the WORD.……Understanding His Shekinah Glory. … 2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV) 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. ….by power of Holy Spirit. Romans 8:29-30 (KJV) 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified……us the believer! Ephesians 4:13 (KJV) 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ……..a process. Colossians 3:10 (KJV) 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: ……. turn from your former ways.
Renewal/Repentance is a process....You must work on it!


Torah on Heart! …a reality??? predicted by Jeremiah 31:31 (KJV); and what is a circumcised heart Colossians 2:11 KJV) BUT HOW? God’s Mercy & Grace is sufficient!

Grace and Mercy is a working relationship with Abba Father.
Grace..is God giving us His Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Counsel … Conventional viewpoint: Unmerited favor or “getting what you don’t deserve.” Grace for Torah on your heart is God’s divine influence on the human heart pertaining to things of life …God teaching you from His Word what you need to know that you may have wisdom to know what is what is right and wrong.(2 Tim. 2:15)
Mercy… is God’s patience with you to develop our Insight into the Word. Conventional viewpoint: “not getting what you deserve.” Mercy for writing Torah on your heart is God's patience as it takes time for you, with the Holy Spirit’s help, to figure out what God says in the WORD. Then, how does Torah get on your heart? Holy Spirit unveils the scriptures as you read them. Now, you can develop your spiritual senses, spiritual sensitivity and perception when you read the Bible. Torah on heart becomes a process to draw closer to Abba. Sensitizes you to the Body of Christ’s activity around you. ..a circumcised heart occurs when you cut off the old self. It is the pain of sin. Sin dulls your senses, leaving you spiritually blind and deaf. You get Spiritual insight as read unveiled scriptures and become a doer of the WORD

How does God provide for you to be that Light of the world? All the Commandments are summed! Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV) Love is reflected in Your Fruits of the Spirit! Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness (kindness), faith, 23 Meekness (humility), temperance (self-control): against such there is no law.
Your spiritual Growth is a love/ faith/work process of fellowship with Abba and the Body of Christ through studying the WORD and being a doer of the WORD. That is the difference between a “Christian” and an overcomer. Only a remnant exists and who will find favor and will "sit under the fig tree!" Only a Strait Gate & Narrow Way (Matt 7:14);Only a Few Chosen (Matt. 22:14); salvation in No Other Name (Acts 2:38:1 Cor. 6:11; Phi. 2:10 )

3-15-08 8 Adar II 5768	Torah Study #24	Vayikra "And he called”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 1:1- 6:7
Topic: Topic: Why blood sacrifices? The sin offering is a shadow of Jesus’ crucifixion. “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” (John 1:29) What can we do to earn our salvation?
Overview of the weekly Torah reading Leviticus 1:1- 17 Burnt offering Leviticus 2:1-16 Meal offering Leviticus 3:1-17 Peace offering Leviticus 4:1-35 Sin offering Leviticus 5:1-6:7 Trespass offering.
Review from Parasha 2 years ago:
Leviticus 1:1- 17 Burnt offering a complete commitment to Lord .. an olah. From the herd: bull, sheep, goats, fowls: turtledoves, young pigeons Leviticus 2:1-16 Meal offering (bestowing a gift offering) “grain offering”.. minchah /bloodless/voluntary /gift Ps. 107:22 Leviticus 3:1-17 Peace (fellowship ) offering Visceral Fat sweet aroma to Abba…sh’ lamin Cattle, sheep, goat, variety of breads (Lev.7:12) Leviticus 4:1-35 Sin offering sin of ignorance Visceral Fat sweet aroma to Abba…sh’ lamin Whole animal as sin offering burned outside the camp (Lev.4:12) Bull, goat, lamb, dove, pigeon, fine flour High Priest, congregation, ruler, person, poor, very poor Leviticus 5:1-6:7 Trespass offering (Guilt offering )guilt offering for defined iniquities. Female flock, turtle doves or young pigeons. Make retribution to brother + 20%
Lessons:
TORAH
Our reading today is Leviticus 4:1-35.. the Sin offering
Levitical Sacrifices: 1. Evidence of the depravity of man and our need for redemption…. A Savior 2. They were a temporary blood covering for unintentional sin. Intentional sin’s penalty was a stoning death. 3. Point to Jesus as the final atoning Sacrifice Who freed man from death and death penalty 4. Sacrifices to Abba were offered on the north side of the altar. Jesus’ Blood should be shed on the north side of the altar. (Lev. 1:11 KJV).
Why sacrifices? Note, they point to Yeshua Jesus! Leviticus 17:11 (KJV) For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Hebrews 9:22 (KJV) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
What can we do to earn our salvation?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!.....It is a free Gift today while it is yet today! During the Tribulation period, after the overcomers are raptured, the new believer(s) will be in hiding, having fellowship in an underground Church. To be discovered is to be martyred for your faith. Today, while it is yet today, it is a free Gift.
In our study today, the Sin Offering is for sin of ignorance or innocence.The Sin Offering was a temporary covering for unintentional sin. It involved a spotless animal (bull, goat, lamb, dove, pigeon or fine flour). Transference of sin was to the innocent animal. The animal dies in your place. It's blood is placed on altar and fat & kidneys burned as aroma to the Lord. Burning of the sin offering cannot be in presence of Abba. Hence, it was taken outside the camp & burned. Ashes indicate that an offering was made & that sin was dealt with.
Christ, as a Torah-observant Jew, was sinless. Propitiation is required by Father. Your sins were transferred to Christ on that cross. His death on the Cross is our tree of life…eternal life. Christ’s blood was on Mercy seat in Heaven. No further sacrifices are needed. “Tetelestai”…”It is finished”
Sacrifice is a korban (method to "draw near to God") James 4:8 (KJV) Draw nigh unto God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Hebrews 13:20-21 (KJV) 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 1:18-21 (KJV) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (KJV) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

TANACH
What is the consequence of offering the sacrifices unworthily.
1 Samuel 13:8-14 (KJV) What was King Saul’s Motive? Offering sacrifices requires a prepared heart How did the Judge and Prophet Samuel interpret King Saul’s impulsive actions? King Saul’s second disobedience to the Lord’s Word was when he spared Agag, king of the Amalekites and the Amalekite animals (“for the Lord’s sacrifices”)… 1 Samuel 15:22-23 (KJV) King Saul’s heart was self-centered not God-centered.
Consequence? 1 Samuel 16:14 (KJV) ….He was turned over to the tormentor, Ha Satan. 'Here is my disobedient servant, King Saul ..He is now yours. My Spirit is gone from him.' King Saul did not have a faith walk. The fruits of his Spirit were evil.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
By the Blood of Jesus, the Father received full propitiation for our sin debt…. Tetelestai. Walk little children according to the light that is in you!
Hebrews 7:26-27 (KJV) We have a High Priest, Who offered the final sacrifice. How are we to walk? Ephesians 4:17-27 (KJV) How are we to walk? Colossians 1:9-14 (KJV) Our sacrifice! Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) Perfecting your Salvation by the hearing and reading of the Word and by being a doer of the Word (Halachah)
Where was Christ Crucified? Did the centurion really see curtain tear?
Mark 15:33-39 (KJV) Matthew 27:45-54 (KJV) Luke 23:44-49 (KJV) Christ was crucified on the North side of the altar at the place of thee Skull, Golgotha, Calvary, which God has conserved unto this day, a Holy preserved memorial just as Mount Rushmore is a man preserved site. Do not be deceived little children by false teachers, false preachers and false prophets. ACTS 17:11
Did the centurion really see curtain tear? No..... Christ was crucified on the North side of the alter not on the eastern Mount of Olives.
Events: Earthquake and supernatural phenomena (Dense darkness over the Land; the dead walking; Temple Curtain torn; center candle on Menorah wouldn’t stay lit; NiKanor Gate wouldn’t stay closed; the Yom Kippur scapegoat’s (Azazel) death did not turn the red linen cloth to white; and the selection of the lots for the goats was erratic.
Where is Jesus today. At the Right Hand of the Father. Doing what? Being our High Priest. Intercessor. Jesus has 24/7 access to the Father for you. 1 John 1:8-10 (KJV) 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
WE NEED A HIGH PRIEST AND INTERCESSOR
******....as it was the outer curtain into the Holy Place that tore. Now the Priest-Kings of Melchizedek can freely enter to eat the shewbread just as King David did. Here you see the Shekinah of the Menorah. The church teaches that the inner curtain was torn and sinful man can come into God's Presence? We need a High Priest to enter through that inner curtain...an Intercessor.

3-22-08 (15 Adar II)	Torah Study #25	Tzav “Command”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 6:8-8:36
Topic: The Sheepfold……. The Good Shepherd
Review: The Levitical sacrifices are a shadow pointing to our Salvation in the Name of Yeshua Jesus. Today, the Believer’s sacrifices are our Halachah (walk), our prayer life, our devotion to the Word as Truth, and us as being a Doers of the Word. How do sheep get into the sheepfold? They must go from unclean to clean and be washed in the Blood of Christ and filled with the “living waters” of the “Holy Spirit.”
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 7:20-21 (KJV) You cannot be unclean in your heart and offer sacrifices to God. That is double-mindedness. The unclean will be cut off from his people of Israel.
Psalm 66:18-20 (KJV) 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Abba will hear the voice of the repentant sinner. Our Fathers absolute requirement is obedience and take no idols into your heart. God’s perfect Justice is His Righteousness.

TANACH
2 Samuel 24:10-17 (KJV) What is the consequence of disobedience? Even God’s anointed King David is held accountable! Does God make exceptions? Disobedience (sin) has a consequence! “70,000 men died”….Repentance returns you back to fellowship with God.
2 Samuel 24:25 (KJV) 25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
The Gospel of John Chapter 10 is a Yod Chapter (closed hand, completion, full circle).
John 10:1-3 (KJV) The Good Shepherd guards the doorway into the sheepfold. The False Shepherd enter by another way and has disregard for the sheep.
Ezekiel 34:1-15 (KV) Let us examine the contrast between a Good Shepherd and a bad shepherd.
Remind you of someone? Adonijah- fourth son of King David, born in Hebron 1st Kings 1:5-11 (KJV) Note: Adonijah wanted to rule kingdom by another door rather than enter with his father's blessings. Adonijah is an example of the unholy trinity (me, myself and I) ... Exalting ones self, false doctrine, idols, other god’s… all these are robbers and thieves that come to destroy your faith, still your peace, distract you from God’s word…
Another place in God’s Word were he calls (confesses) his sheep (people) by name is Revelation 3:5 (KJV) The LORD is leading his sheep from these things (the world).
John 10:4-10 (KJV) What does it mean to follow Yeshua Jesus? V.4 Chastisement (Hosea 6:1-3), loss of worldly possessions (Matthew 19:20-22), persecution (Matthew 5:44)… Do you know his voice? He has always been a door to Israel by commandments, prophets, judges… V.7 Shepherds are known to sleep at the door of the of the sheep gate V.7. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6 V.10) ....
John 10:10 (KJV)10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. More abundantly (Strong's Greek # 4053)- superabundant, very highly, beyond measure!
John 10:11-25 (KJV) Examine V.11: David, being a type/shadow of Messiah, did the same for God’s sheep (1st Samuel 17:34-35)
Hireling? Someone who only works for money.
In V.15 Yeshua Jesus is giving a prophetic message, which is fulfilled in John 19 (His crucifixion). Sheep of another fold is another prophetic message, spoken 2000 years ago, and still being fulfilled today! (Hosea 2:23, Romans 11:17, John 7:35, 1st Peter 1:1-2)
The feast of Dedication is also known as Chanukah. We see that Jesus kept (respected) Chanukah.
What are some of the works of Yeshua Jesus? Healings- (John 5:5-8, 9:1-7) miracles- (John 2:3-9) baptizing- (John 2:22-26)
John 10:26-42 (KJV) Condemnation if you are not his sheep (John 3:18-19). Abba gives eternal life to anyone who believes on Yeshua Jesus as their savior (John 3:16) In V.30 Jesus is professing his deity to Abba (1John 5:7 (KJV)). In V.34 notice that Yeshua Jesus says “I said” because he is The Torah (The Word).
John 10:38 (KJV) 8 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. “But if I do, though ye believe not me, Believe the works…” (Mathew 7:20; Philippians1:11). No matter where Yeshua goes His Fruits (works) testify of him.

Take Home Message (the Yod) Yeshua Jesus is our completion, closed hand, full circle… We are His sheep and His sheep know his voice. Therefore study your Word.

3-29-08 (22 Adar II 5768)	Torah #26	Shemini “Eight”
Torah Readings: Leviticus: 9:1-11:47
Topic: Knowing God’s will by His instructions. He has made provisions for the sinner. Think before you sin! Shemini (eight) is the Hebrew gamatria for New Beginning.
Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Yet, Ye are held accountable not to bring strange fire into God's Kingdom.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 10:1-7 (KJV) What “is it to offer strange fire before the Lord?” A disregard of God’s will vs. self-will. The Torah is His instructions. Instructions are for a purpose…our purpose …for whenever you have a law, you have consequences.
Don’t fall into the hands of the living God! (Hebrews 10:31) “I AM” is a Holy, God of Glory (1 Peter 1:16 “Be ye holy for I AM Holy). God is absolutely Holy.
Isaiah 6:3 (KJV) 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
He is not to be defiled before the people. Today, is there a loss of respect for God's Word. (lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
Where is respect for God in America today? Are the 10 Commandments in our schools, School prayer?.... etc. Are we a disobedient people? Are we as Sodom and Gomorrah? Will God’s punishment fall on America?

TANACH
Now let us examine "strange fire" in the camp of the tribes of Israel.

Ezekiel 23:4 (KJV) …Aholah (Israel/Samaria) and Aholibah (Judah/Jerusalem)
Ezekiel 23:36-39 (KJV) By their idolatry (sin), they were unworthy to be in the Lord’s House. Israel was judged for idolatry and disobedience.

Ezekiel 23:46-49 (KJV) God was patient…longsuffering… with His people…… then judgment. What happened to Noah’s generation…Sodom & Gomorrah? …Judgment. What lies in store for the nations that come against Israel?
Daniel 9:25-27 (KJV) Where are we (USA) on that prophetic clock?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Yeshua Jesus held and end time private briefing with His disciples.

Matthew 24:3-8 (KJV) “All these are the beginning of sorrows” Chevlai shel Mashiach.” Six warnings about False Christ's and False Prophets (v. 4, 5, 11, 23, 24, 26). Remember Acts 17:11 !!
Daniel 9:26C (KJV)….and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Know Signs of the Times …. Keep an Israel Update for Israel is God's timepiece...The Prophetic Clock!
Matthew 16:2-3 (KJV) 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
The end shall come with a Flood!
..........Worldwide floods in 2007......... (www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/2007global.jpg ) Global flood deaths and injuries, loss homes, loss of crops, mud slides. In these countries Spain (April); China (May, June, October); Africa, India, Turkey, Russia, SE Europe, south America, Australia. Heavy flooding in the United States: Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, California.
Look to the heartland of America observe the March floods and more to come with the melting snow and continued rains.
Torrential Rains Soak Nation… Flooding Kills at Least 2, Others Missing DALLAS (March 19, 2008) -- Airlines prepared for passenger backlogs Wednesday from hundreds of flights grounded by storms that chased people from flooded homes and deluged roads in the nation's midsection, killing at least two people in Missouri and sweeping a teen down a drainage pipe in Texas. Deadly Storms and Flooding Head East.....COLUMBUS, Ohio (March 19, 2008) - Residents warily watched as rivers continued to rise Thursday from heavy storms that dumped as much as a foot of rain in the Midwest and left behind more than a dozen deaths.
Remember “The end shall come with a Flood.” The rainbow in the heavens (Genesis 9:11-13) attests that God will not destroy the world with a global flood, but it does not preclude global local flood as a sign of the times.
Prophetic Word (Nik Hutchins) "Time is advancing....time is accelerating." "Post-Purim there will be many Haman's to come against Israel to destroy God's people but God will prevail."
Ezekiel 39:11 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Today, While it is today! Who is The Lord of your life? Sin came into the world to bring death. …. but Abba gave us a New Beginning …..in Yeshua Jesus.

4-05-08 29 Adar II 5768	Torah Study #27	Tazria “Conceived”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 12:1-13:59 (KJV)
Topic: Instructions given against uncleanness amongst the Hebrew people.
Don’t appear unclean before the Lord. Unrepentant sin has consequences.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 13:1-8 (KJV) Quarantine……. Isolation…Stop the spread of contagion of leprosy. …also cleanse garments (Leviticus 13:47-52 KJV )

Louie Pasteur (1822-1895) introduced the germ theory that invisible-to-the-naked-eye organism caused disease. God told the Israelites of this infectious principle in 1448 BC. But man didn't understand contagious disease until nearly 3300 years later! Torah is God's instruction to benefit man physically, mentally, emotionally and materially. Shema....Hear
Leprosy is a metaphor of what?...Sin…Perhaps we need to understand leprosy.
Pathophysiology of Leprosy: Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is called "tzaraath" in the Hebrew, or "metzora" for the leper.. It begins as an raised or depressed skin lesion, progresses to a open, weeping stage and then on to amputations and deformities. It is a devastating, mutilating disease of the skin, extremities, nerves, and eyes; a consuming necrotizing infection, leading to auto-amputations; caused by mycobacterium leprae. ….and is Contagious..
Leprosy makes the Israelite unclean just as breaking God’s laws make the sinner unclean. Sin has consequences. It eats away on you like leprosy and turns you over to the devourer/tormentor.
Romans 1:24-25 KJV Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Sin abounds on the broad road of unbelievers. Unbelievers live in spiritual deformity of the devil. What about Christians on the narrow road? Does Salvation come with or without accountability? Can sin clutter the life of a believer? How does God’s grace and mercy does cover all our transgressions? …..Confession and repentance.
Knowledge of sin comes from God’s Holy Scriptures …. They are immutable.
Luke 16:17 (KJV) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Intentional sin is defined by Scriptures or Torah written on the overcomers circumcised heart. What about sins of innocence, omission, commission? Unintentional sin: Innocence … (Luke 12:47-48) Omission …..to know to do and do not…(Luke 12:47-48, James 4:17) Sin(s) of Commission (Webster's ...the act of committing or doing such as a crime) Sins of Commission can be either intentional or “thoughtless” sin. "Thoughtless" sin is to steal a pencil or office supplies from your work place.
Treat sins as if they were leprosy: Isolate ….confess; Cleanse…repent; Heal …restoration; Become fully functional…a Godly Halachah (Walk)
A Red Light …..God will not allow sin to dwell in His presence. Unrepentant sin is a state on being unclean & separated from Abba. Living in sin is the "old self" and is as a pig returns to the mire or a dog to its vomit.
Remember God is a jealous God…. Trials tribulation may come your way or God may turn you over to tormentor. You can’t serve two masters …God’s spirit leaves.
Dying in sin (Rev. 21:6-8 (KJV) In all cultures, death means separation. Eternal death (second death) is the fulfillment of the absoluteness of separation.
Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
TANACH
Introduction: 2 Chronicles 26:9-15 (KJV) King Uzziah's works and intentions appear to be good, until pride was found in him.
2 Chronicles 26:16-22 (KJV) Good intentions until his heart had pride. Again strange fire in the Lord’s House...... Immediate Judgment
Doing it man’s ways or do it God’s Way (by His Instruction)….God's JUDGMENT is fair and appropriate to the sin..

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Mark 7:18-23 (KJV) Jesus’ red letter Words. Romans 8:2 (KJV) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 6:11-18 (KJV) ….2 masters: Serve sin….. Servants of death (the devil) or Serve God ….servants of righteousness (life)
Wounds of the flesh gives disease in this life; but Wounds of the soul is sin and gives Eternal Judgment if there is no repentance…. Jesus will heal our Christian wounds (diseases) and our transgressions if we repent..
My soul weeps: Lamentations 1:16 (KJV) For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
Sin separates us from God and He will not hear our prayers. Isaiah 59:2 (KJV) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. (Psalm 66:18)
Take the Litmus test to be sin free.... The plumb line: Love God, love your family, love your friends, love other Believers, and love even your enemies. All commandments reduce to the basic ingredient of LOVE.
Make yourself loveable. Are you a loveable person? How do others look at you? Hot; Cold; Luke warm (proudly smug).
Leviticus 19:18 (KJV) 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
Matthew 22:37-40 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Be in unity …Echad.. as is The Father …Baptism into Body of Christ Be a Doer of THE WORD for God's PROMISES are TRUE.

4-12-08 (7 Nisan 5768)	Torah Study #28	Metzora “Leper”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 14:1-15:33 (KJV)
Topic: Sin is covered by animal Blood in the 1st Covenant; In the 2nd Covenant Justification (sin remembered no more by the Father) through Christ’s Blood is removal of our eternal death by sin, whereby we are sealed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, being echad (one) in Christ.
Cleansing our soul is a process first by Blood the by anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 14:1-10 (KJV) Pronouncing the Leper clean … a ritual cleansing by Blood.. Significance??
Leviticus 14:14-18 (KJV) The unclean leper needs to acknowledge his sin/iniquities and repent and be cleansed by the blood of the sacrifice and the anointing. How does this apply today? Note, this procedure: An anointing of the right ear, right thumb, right great toe ?? Why Blood? Why Blood first? Why oil? Why oil second? Why Right side of body?
What does this scripture mean? Matthew 22:41-46 (KJV) 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. (Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44)
Where is Jesus today?? Why Abba’s Right Side? Yes, Jesus is at the Right side of the Father. What is the importance of Right side? Let us examine the scriptures. The Gospels: Mark 14:62; ⁶²And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. (Matt. 26:64; Mark 16:19; Luke 22:69) Stephen: (Acts 7:55). Paul’s epistles: (Rom. 8:34;Eph. 1:20; Col:3:2;Heb. 1:3,13;8:1;10:12;12:2). Peter: (Acts 2:34; 1Peter 3:22).
Now do you see it! If so explain to me this Psalm of King David. Psalm 110:1 (KJV) A Psalm of David. ….The LORD (Father God) said unto my (David's) Lord (The Messiah Jesus), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Who is King David’s Lord God? The Christ comes from David’s loins through Mary the “seed of the woman”. Who is Jesus’ Father? He was conceived by Holy Spirit.. "My only Begotten Son."
Be humble and stand at the right side of the poor just as Jesus does. Psalm 109:30-31 (KJV) 30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. Right side of poor… tell of Gods’ emphasis on His concern for the poor (underprivileged such as widow, orphan, etc.). The conclusion of the matter: The delegated authority, power, and position of honor is on the Right Side.
Torah Anointing Procedures For Priests (Sokhen, Shelach) (Agents, "Sent-out ones"); for Abba’s Tabernacle (Gods resting Place; your Temple; your home, your premise) and us as Kings and Priest of Melchezedek's Priesthood. Leviticus 8:19 (KJV) 19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. Leviticus 8:10 (KJV) 10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. Leviticus 8:12 (KJV) 12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. Anointing the Aaronic Priesthood: Leviticus 8:23-24 (KJV) 23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 24 And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. Leviticus 8:30 (KJV) 30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. Can you appreciate and comprehend the awesome price Jesus paid to cleanse humankind of sin and the sacrifice the Father made for us.
Anointing of the repentant Believer. James 5:14 (KJV) 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

TANACH
1 Samuel 16:10-13 (KJV) The anointing procedure for a King.
The Lord’s Spirit came upon the shepherd boy, David. Under the 1st covenant only those anointed were Spirit-filled (the Priesthood and the Kings of Israel)

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT Chadasha)
What else in the Scriptures is happens on the Right side....How about judgment? Matthew 25:31-34 (KJV) Sheep/goat judgment …. Eternal peace to those on right side.
Matthew 25:41-46 (KJV) Goats on left sent to everlasting punishment.
Are all “Christians” overcomers?
“I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21-27) ( Luke 6:46-49)
1 John 2:22-29 (KJV) The Father’s wrath falls upon sin and the sinner. His sinless (spotless) Son received that entire wrath meant for us. Do not deny Him. You are anointed by the Holy Spirit, who shall teach you all things. Abide in Christ as Sons and Daughters.
1 John 3:1 (KJV) 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. "what manner" = giving His only Begotten son for our sins.
Be a Hearer, Doer, Walker of the WORD
Life is a testing ground. There is something we should understand. God didn’t promise to make life easy for us. Quite the contrary! God is testing us every day to see how we react to every situation. Life is deliberately filled with issues to resolve using God’s Word to find Truth (Acts 17:11). We will be rewarded for our acts of love and judged for our acts done with evil thoughts, actions and words (acts of hatred)

14 Nisan 5768 (4-19-08)	Torah Study #29	Aharei Mot “After death”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 16:1-18:30 (KJV)
Topic: Passover, the Exodus doorway, to our Passover Lamb Who conquered sin and death that we might live. The nails did not hold Him to the Cross but it was His Love for us that did.
God’s-Kind-of-Love: so that we might have Glorification in the Body of Christ: We shall be like Him.
Lessons:
TORAH
We are to prepare ourselves in white linen and God will allows us into The Kingdom when we reflect His righteousness.
Leviticus 16:1-4 (KJV) Only once a year at Yom Kippur could Aaron enter the Most Holy Place, but he must be in white linen. White linen indicates Righteousness.
The White Linen of the High priest when in the presence of God is a metaphor of what?
The Righteousness of the "sealed" angels. Revelation 15:6 (KJV) 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
The Righteousness of us as the Bride of Christ. Revelation 19:8 (KJV) 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Our Righteous as Priests and Kings in the Millennial Kingdom. Revelation 19:14 (KJV) 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

TANACH
Judges 4:14-24 (KJV) Death of the wicked and their eternal fate is in the Lake of fire. The enemy of Israel is delivered a mortal head wound by a woman.
Man’s Redemptive fate was in the hands of a woman A woman was to bring forth the “seed” of Redemption. Genesis 3:15 (KJV) 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Christ delivered a mortal death blow with the stake of the Cross of Calvary to the head of Satan, that evil serpent.
Jesus, the unblemished Lamb of God, defeated death and He removed the death curse that for 4000 years plagued mankind that through a personal relationship with Him. we might have life everlasting. ....Amen. For 4000 years the ancestors of Adam and Eve have been in "stinketh" grave clothes

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
John 11:1-16 (KJV) Jesus foreknew that Lazarus' sickness, as an Old Testament Saint, was unto death. Yet, His disciple were blinded as to what He was saying until after the resurrection. They didn't understand when Jesus said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." Then He repeats how God's prophetic Hand is at work to Glorify the Son. "Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him." Yeshua Jesus is to demonstrate that He has all power over death...... “to the intent ye may believe” Yeshua Jesus is the glory of God and has the power to quickeneth (SG #2227- Make alive/ give life).

John 11:17-37 (KJV) Martha/Mary and some of the Jews questioned that if He were only there then Lazarus might not have died, yet their remorse was for the dead, as if it is not possible that Jesus could now do anything. Nothing is impossible for the Almighty (Luke 1:37)
John 11:39-45 (KJV) Their unbelief was evident.
John 11:41b-42 (KJV) ^{Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.}
Besides throwing water on someone sleeping, how do you awake them?... by calling their name. Why did Jesus have to call Lazarus by name.. If He did not all the dead in that graveyard would have awaken in their grave clothes and come forward. Jesus is speaking to death. Loose him and let him go! LET MY PEOPLE GO!
Why did Jesus wait 4 days? ...For by four days Lazarus body was decaying and "stinketh." A day = 1000 years (Psalm 90:4; 2 peter 3:8). Jesus was to show that He had power over death. Prophetically, He would removed the death curse that for 4000 years plagued mankind that we might live through our relationship with Him. When Yeshua Jesus calls out your name there will be no grave clothes! (Revelation 19:8).
Jesus weeps and grieves for Lazarus just as He show a Godly agape love relationship with all of us. That is God's-kind-of-LOVE
John 11:46-57 (KJV) The High Priest, Caiaphas, prophesied that year, unknowingly, that Yeshua Jesus would be the Passover Lamb of God, Who would die so that the children of God could be re-gathered unto The Kingdom .
God loves you and wants a closer/deeper relationship with you through His WORD Daily Read the Scriptures and draw closer unto your LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST

For this weeks Torah study everyone should read these Chag Hamatzot scriptures. We will focus on this weeks' National Day of Repentance and the grave prophetic times ahead. Time is accelerating and without repentance woe is us.
Topic: This is the last day of The Feast of Unleavened Bread ….. A time to purge yourselves of Sin. Leaven (Sin) brings death. After physical death… What’s next ?…. Chose ye this day ......Eternal light or darkness …eternal life or eternal Lake of Fire…… Light is LIFE
Lessons:
America in Prophecy
Judgment Sodom/Gamorrah/ Chorazin/Bethsaida/Capernaum.
Matthew 11:21-24 (KJV)²¹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Jesus is proclaiming judgment on unbelieving localities within the Judea where He walked preaching the Salvation message and contrasting their unbelief with what will be more fertile ground for the Good News Gospel amongst Gentile areas (Tyre and Sidon).
God is looking for the Church to repent . … for Christians in America to acknowledge their iniquities. Why Judgment?? Judgment of Sodom/Gamorrah …..for your fornication Judgment of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum for your unbelief.
Kay-sera-sera ... so what about end times prophecy... What will be---will be
Despise not prophecy *(1 Thes 5:20)* Study God’s WORD to show Yourself approved *(2 Titus 2:15)* Vigilance as children of light *(1 Thes 5:1-11)* Jesus “know signs of time” *(Matt. 16:3)* 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Is there lasting oil in your lamp?
Fill your mind with meditation on God’s WORD. Put God ‘s WORD in your heart; contemplate and ponder the Truth and Promises of His WORD and stay in His Presence and Holiness. Examine yourself: does Scriptures fill your mind, but yet you are still sinning against God (that’s head knowledge) or is Scripture sealed on your heart and you walk according to His WORD as light & salt; being in the image of Jesus (that’s a Holy Spirit-filled heart).

Psalm 1:1-6 (KJV) 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

“say”

Torah Readings: Leviticus 21:1-24:23

Topic: Living on manna…

Today our sustenance is Yeshua Jesus, the Bread of Life.…. “and give us this day our daily bread”…..

Developing an appreciation of the 2 bread loaves of Shavuot (Pentecost) and shewbread. Leaven is produced by fermentation which as a fungal process puffs-up the bread… making leaven bread unclean, but can be made Holy! Funguses are “alien life-forms” to our body! …Sin is an “alien” to the believer’s body. It puffs up the sinner with Pride, Lust and Covetous.

The root evil of all sin is an unloving soul

Lessons:

TORAH

Leviticus 23:16-21 (KJV) The 2 loaves are the Firstfruits of wheat harvest.

Shavuot (Jews) & Pentecost (Church) are same day. It is a remembrance for the Jews of Torah given from Mt. Sinaiand....for the Church the Holy Spirit fell on Jesus’ disciples writing Torah on their heart….

Why 2 loaves leaven bread? Recognize that both houses of Israel are blind & need to repent with sin wave-offering before The Lord?

Leviticus 24:5-9 (KJV) Shewbread is leavened bread.

Mishnah comments :

Baked in dedicated room by a Priest on northwest side of altar.
Kneaded and rolled, one loaf at a time, and baked in pairs .
Secret preparation instructions known only to House of Garmu.
10 hand-breaths long X 5 hand-breaths wide X 7 fingers in height.
Stacked 6 high in 2 stacks on each end of Table of Shewbread with a dish of Frankincense across each row of Shewbread.
-unclean (leavened) but sanctified by law of sacrilege.
Put out every Erev Sabbath in Holy place.
Belong to the Priest not the altar.

Exodus 16:21-27 (KJV) The Sabbath was known to the Israelites before Torah given @ Mt. Sinai (Lev. 23:3). Manna was given as their sustenance of life. Manna is a shadow of WHO?...Yeshua Jesus

Three temptations of Man

Lust of the flesh
Lust of the eyes
The pride of Life.

Satan’s Three temptations of Eve & Jesus

Eve

Satan tempts Jesus

Lust of flesh Genesis 3:6a saw that the tree was good for food,	Lust of flesh Luke 4³ And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
Lust of eyes ……6b …and that it was pleasant to the eyes,	Lust of eyes ^……5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. …
Pride of Life ….6c …and a tree to be desired to make one wise, and 5c…ye shall be as gods,	Pride of Life ^…..7 If thou therefore wilt worship me^a, all shall be thine. .. If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

In Pride you are being governed by the “flesh man” and are following the “laws of the flesh” not the Laws of God (Torah)...... What are the laws of the flesh?

Judges 17:6 (KJV) ^{6b …….} every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Jeremiah 16:12 (KJV) ¹² And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

TANACH

1 Samuel 21:1-6 (KJV) The shewbread is hallowed and is only for the eating of the priests. David entering Holy Place and eat the shewbread! Is this a metaphor (shadow) of what? Which curtain was torn?

Revelation 3:7-8 (KJV)7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

The key of David is our entry into the Holy Place as Overcomers to meet our High Priest Yeshua Jesus and partake of the shewbread.

It relates the prophetic insight into our priesthood of Melchizedek when in the Olam Haba, we will see Abba "face to Face.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)

Satan is the father of Pride… Pride is leaven and a little leaven spoileth the whole lump (1 Cor. 5:6). Be humble and meek. Don't take the trait characteristics of Ha' Satan.

Christ gives us The Bread of Communion …“This is My body which is given for you: do in remembrance of Me.”

John 6:54-56 (KJV) 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

5-17-08 (12 Iyar5768)	Torah Study #33	Behar Sinai “On Mount Sinai”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 25:1-26:2
Topic: The Jubilee is a time of reaffirming our brotherhood… We are sons of God. We should have a Halachah becoming of Kings & Priests
Romans 8:12-17 (KJV) ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: ¹⁷And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 25:8-18 (KJV)The Hebrew Jubilee year on Yom Kippur is a time of returning properties to its owner, a time to make amends….a time to re-establish relationships and time not to be at aught with your brother/sister.
Christianity is based upon a personal relationship with the Father through the Blood of His Son…
In these times, we need to examine where Christians can be found. By a 1990 population census, there are 1.7 billion of the 6 billion world population(28 %) that reportedly are Christians. Noteworthy: Islamic is 1.9 billion(32%). Today, the Christians in Europe are < 10% of population! United States (population ~300 million) reports in a 2004 census 80% Christian!!!= Greater than 240 million in USA !!!!?????
Wow, where are they?
Christians where are you??? Show yourself...
Why, then are we, as a nation, denying Biblical truths and moral standards?
Do all these 240 million Christians have that personal echad relationship!! Do they walk in Torah awareness? Jesus said "If you love me keep My Commandments." Can we make some sense as to the scope and depth of the existence of a truly steadfast Body of Christ
Closet Christians ......(“cloaked”)…Exist on census form only; may be a part of a family tradition but seldom attend a Church; Won’t profess Jesus Christ publically or study God’s Word... “nominal” Christians ... Social/Political Church goers! ...may be busy with religious church activity having a lukewarm heart for Christ’s; The Bible is their intellectual experience and not of the heart. Overcomer Christians (The remnant)..are a Light and Salt reflection of God’s Word; They are known by their Fruits and you know them by their Halachah (walk)…they Reflect God’s-kind-of-LOVE
We in America have become an apostate group of Christians by our religious indifferences and tolerance. The Lord will spew us out of His mouth (Laodicea Rev.3:15-17).We, who have heard the gospel message and have turned our backs, are worse than Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum.
Matthew 11:21-24 (KJV)21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
What can we do as a nation of believers?
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
What can You personally do do as a nation of believers?
Examine you self image! Do others perceive you as you perceive yourself. Certainly, outward appearance can be deceptive? Now is the time to self revaluate: Are you a self-serving (Flesh person) or a God–serving individual? Remember all "Christians" look the same on the outside. It is your heart that proclaims who you are in Christ. Listen to your own mouth as it tells the secrets of your heart. Leviticus 25:48-52 (KJV) The Kinsman Redeemer. A redemption price. Who is our Kinsman Redeemer? ..What was the redemption price? How do we look after a "lost" brother?
TANACH

Ruth 4:1-12 (KJV) Boaz looks after Naomi & Ruth. In like manner, the Body of Christ must look after one another. “and the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.” (1 Corinthians 12:21) … “there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.” (1 Corinthians 12:25)…Remember? God’s-kind-of-LOVE !

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT cHADASHA)
1 John 3:1-6; 14-24 (KJV) John is the apostle who loved Jesus. What is the kind of love amongst the sons/daughters of God?...An agape love???...Love God …Love man. Apostle John, “the mystic,” his last words were …”that we are to love one another and that alone is sufficient.”
Remember our teaching on Love? Agape, Phileo, Eros, Psuchros love
1 John 3:1 (KJV)¹ Behold, what manner of love (agape) the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:14 (KJV) ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love (agape) the brethren. *He that loveth (agapo) not his brother abideth in death.*
The Father desires that the Body of Christ love one another in agape love which is God's kind-of-Love.
Deterrents to perfecting agape love …Pride, unforgiveness….responding to “laws of the flesh”
Besides unforgiveness what other transgression is our greatest hindrance to God’s perfect Love? It is a sin that involves seduction of others into sin….Gossip….Gossip spreads like fungus and mushrooms.
It is infectious to others, a addicting seducer unto slander/“Character assassination”/back-biting …words kill..!!! Exodus 20:13 (KJV) 13 Thou shalt not kill. Do not pierce another person’s heart.
What are the demonic spirits behind gossip? Let us examine these Spirit World Realities (Works or wiles of the devil)..the rank & file hierarchy of the kingdom of darkness.
Principality is a “lying spirit” from the father of lies. Power is in its witchcraft...a word curse that kills Might is part of the exhibitionism pride in gossip Dominion is promoting deception and lies… seducing others to gossip
Remember that the slanderer, the gossiper, serves sin and is a servant to the man of sin. Romans 6:16 (KJV) ¹⁶ Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Choose between the law of God or the law of the flesh (sin)
Serve God or serve sin??..... Remember Gossip Kills and Mushrooms ..be part of that Overcomer remnant…God is purifying the remnant ..purging out the gossip.. Therefore, Be ye sanctified by the laws of Torah. Leviticus 20:7 (KJV) ⁷ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
Speak blessings not curses
GOSSIP….KILLS ....Recall that game gossip (“whisper into my ear”). Gossip mushrooms into a feeding frenzy. Don’t let your lips become unclean!
You are held accountable for every idle word. Matthew 12:36 KJV But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Love one another as the Father loves you Achieve spiritual wholeness in God’s-kind-of-LOVE
Let us examine Love in the Hebrew language. Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (KJV) ⁶ For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. ⁷ The LORD did not set his love (חָשַׁק, חָשַׁק[chashaq /khaw·shak])upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: ⁸ But because the LORD loved ( אַהֲבָה, אַהֲבָה [’ahabah /a·hab·aw] ) you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers,

Love in the Hebrew is described by many Hebrew words.
SH #157 אהב אהב 'âhab 'âhêb (aw-hab', aw-habe‘) SH #158 אהב 'ahab (ah'-hab) SH #159 אהב 'ôhab (o'-hab) SH #160 אהבה'ahăbâh (a-hab-aw‘) SH # H1730 דּד דּוד dôd dôd (dode, dode) SH # 28336 חשׁק châshaq khaw-shak‘ SH # 5690 עגב ‛egeb (eh'-gheb) SH # 5691 עגבה ‛ăgâbâh (ag-aw-baw‘ ) SH # 7355 רחם râcham (raw-kham‘) SH # 7356 רחם racham (rakh'-am) SH # 7474 רעיה ra‛yâh (rah-yaw‘)

5-24-08 (Iyar 19 5768)	Torah Study #34	Bechukotai “In MY Statutes”
Torah Readings: Leviticus 26:3-27:34
Topic: Learning to know God’s WORD: Know the Blessings and Curses that you put yourself under by your free-will choices. ….Teach others to do what is right. Through Yeshua Jesus, we might have life more abundant and an everlasting life. …. Just confess His Name and believe on Him.
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and give life that the sin curse of death be blotted out for the believer.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 26:3-13, ---- Blessings... Leviticus 26:14-39 ----Curses Leviticus 26:40-44 ..A Covenant Restoration “If you…then I will” *By 2 witnesses..Does God mean what He says and say what He mans? "Harken"* unto the WORD of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14 ….. Blessings Deuteronomy 28:15-68 ….Curses
HOW BAD DOES THE CURSES GET?
Deu 28:67 KJV “In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.”
Psalm 119 :33-41 (KJV)These are the verses that relate the voice of the Holy Spirit! "Harken" unto the WORD of the Lord.
What is the plumb line?
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV) 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

TANACH
The Father desires a righteous personal relationship with you.
Ezekiel 18:1-9 (KJV) The Lord is discussing the new Covent, wherein we each have a personal relationship with Him through Yeshua Jesus. Don't blame or allow your genealogy as an excuse in keeping you from Salvation in Christ.
Yeshua Jesus is the WORD = TORAH ..spoken from Mt. Sinai that became man (John 1:1) and came to tabernacle amongst us. John 12:48 KJV He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Can you see double meaning: WORD=TORAH

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
As a believer, you can choose to live under the Blessings or Curses of the WORD.“Be Holy as He Is Holy”… “If you love me keep MY Commandments.”
The Lord commands us to know and do!
1 John 1:5-10 KJV “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: (7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
– Recognize transgressions, Repent, Renounce, Release, Resist…. Romans 13:8b KJV “…but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 12 by Timothy (Raymond Miranda)
GOSPEL of JOHN 12 ....A coded lamed chapter (the 12^thletter of the Hebrew alephbeit). See if you can find these meanings in our teaching today..... teaching and learning, purpose, control, authority, the tongue, knowledgeable.
John 12:1-11 (KJV) verse 3. The anointing oils were very costly- 12oz. (lb.)-300 Denari (pence SG#1220) ~ 25 denari per oz. = $1,000 per oz. or cost about $12,000.00. Symbolically, Mary is worshiping the Lord “and the house was filled…” as the house was filled with the Ruach Ha' Kodesh.
John 12:12-19(KJV) verse 14 "Baruch Haba B’Shem ADONAI"- "Blessed is He that comes in the name of the LORD." As it is written where? remez Mathew 21:1-9 verse 18 “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe” remez John 4:48
John 12:20-29(KJV) verse 24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit”. remez 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 verse 25 "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." We keep our life by obedience to His Commandments, our Halachah!
John 12:30-36 (KJV) verse 32 “And I, if I be lifted up…” remez John 3:14, Numbers 21:8 Christ is keeping you Christ centered throughout His WORD “For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always”(verse 8) verse 35 “Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you…” Halachah (walk) in God’s WORD, reading daily and putting on the whole armor of GOD every day (Ephesians 6:10-18 V.35)
John 12:37-46 (KJV) We see the importance of memorizing scripture by daily reading. John is remezing (chiastic Hebrew structure) these passages Isaiah 53:1(v.38); Isaiah 6:8-10(v.40) “they did not confess him…” Mathew 10:32, Luke 12:8, Romans 1:16 V.42 verse 46 “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness” ......be children of light, die to your flesh.
John 12:47-50 (KJV) verse 47 The purpose of the Word made flesh, was to save the world from perishing into eternal flames. remez John 3:16. verse 49 Yeshua Jesus is that prophet who was to come (Deuteronomy 18:18).
Lamed (Teaching and learning, purpose, control, authority, the tongue, knowledgeable) ....Did you find the take Home Message
Teaching and learning the Blessings and the Curses, Know Christ's purpose, Who has authority over sin and death, and who controls the keys to hell, By Whose tongue did the prophet speak, Who is all knowing (knowledgeable) knowing the beginning from the end.
Stay Christ centered in your walk (halachah) with the Lord Love and serve the Lord your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind

Torah Study #35

Bamidbar
“in the wilderness”

Torah Readings: Numbers 1:1-4:20

Topic: God’s plan revealed in the Cross.

Lessons:

TORAH

The numbering of the tribes with their standards,

Numbers1:2-4 (KJV) The Commandment from Abba Father.
Numbers1:26-31 (KJV) ..numbered by standard of Judah
Numbers 2:3-9 (KJV) .....numbered by standard of Judah

The numbering of the tribes with their standards, with specific geographic positioning around the camp of the Levites. Not in random confusion.
Examine this 2 witness numbering by the literal interpretation of the scriptures as duplicated numbers in above example of tribes under Judah's Standard of the Lion as recorded in Numbers 1:26-31 and Numbers 2:3-9.

TRIBE	NNumbers 1:20-43	Numbers 2:1-32
Judah	74,600	76,600
Issachar	54,400	54,400
Zebulon	57,400	57,400
Rubin	46,500	46,500
Simeon	59,300	59,300
Gad	45,600	45,600
Ephraim	40,500	40,500
Manasseh	32,200	32,200
Benjamin	35,400	35,400
Dan	35,400	35,400
Asher	41,500	41,500
Naphtali	53,400	53,400

By the literal interpretation of God's Word each camp was allocated a specific compass-direction camp site and marching order.

Numbers 2:3 (KJV)3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies:
Numbers 2:10 (KJV)10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies:
Numbers 2:18 (KJV)18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies:
Numbers 2:25 (KJV) 25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies:

The Crucifixion Cross by tribal arrangement and size. WOW!

TANACH

Numbers 22:41 (KJV) 41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people..,

WHAT DID BALAAM SEE?

torah

Numbers 23:11-12 (KJV)11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

The Cross only brings to humanity God’s Blessings

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)

John 19:1-20 (KJV) At that time in Roman history, the Cross was the cruelest form of punishment to cause suffering of condemned persons.

Yeshua Jesus was that spotless Torah-obedient Lamb that came and took away the sins of mankind. He was crucified North of the altar where the Temple sacrifices shed their blood. The Temple sacrifices were only a temporary sin covering until Messiah Ben Joseph was to come. The Father gave His only Begotten Son that we as Overcomers might have life everlasting.

Did Satan know the implications of the Cross?

1 Corinthians 2:6-11 (KJV)6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

6-07-08 (4 Sivan 5768)	Torah Study #36	Naso “Make an accounting”
Torah Readings: Numbers 4:21-7:89
Topic: Christ showed no partiality for He died for the sins of every man & woman allowing for everyone to be covered by His Atonement. The Father desires that none be lost and all come to Salvation.
As a captive of sin and death, Christ's atoning death has paid the sin price...tetelestai ...It is Finished.
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 5:1-4 (KJV) God’s obedient Hebrew people are inside the Camp. God took these people and called them by His Name. Today, the ecclesia is called by His Name …Christians.
1 Peter 4:16 (KJV) 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Who is outside the Camp?....Unclean/Leprosy/death is a metaphor of what? The law of sin and death
Luke 16:19-31 (KJV) Where are God’s People? What is outside the Camp? Only two eternal choices.

TANACH
Psalm 68:1-6 (KJV) Can you see the two Camps? Who was released from bondage? By Whom?
Luke 4:18 (KJV) 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
We were captives in bondage to sin and death.
The first Adam brought SIN & DEATH to all mankind. Christ, the second Adam, brings life to all those who seek His gift. Since Adam, mankind has been under bondage to sin and death. The blood of innocent animals was a temporary covering for sin until Christ’s atoning death.
The sacrifices were a shadow of things to come as they pointed to the Cross. Since Torah given > hundreds of thousands of animal sacrifices were offered on the Altar of Burnt Offerings … The Blood was a temporary covering of sin.
Hebrews 10:1-4 (KJV) 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
This temporary covering of sin was a foreshadow of the New Covenant that God had ordained from before the foundations of the creation. We need a Savior. For under the Law of Moses (Torah) no man/woman is justified. For all of us sin and come short of the Glory of God.
Galatians 2:21 (KJV) 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. 1 Peter 1:18-20 (KJV) 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Psalm 68:15-21 (KJV) We were captives to sin and death.
2 Timothy 2:22-26 (KJV) * strive ..of those who engage in a war of words, to quarrel, wrangle, dispute. Colossians 2:13-15 (KJV)13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
