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?? |

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.

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.

Torah Study #3 |

|
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.

Zechariah 12:2-3 (KJV) 2
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto

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. |

• Persia= Iran
• Cush = Ethiopia and Africa
• Phut= Libya
• Gomer = former Soviet Union republics and Baltic
states (Germany?)
• Togarmah, Tubal & Meshech =Turkey

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?

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

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. |

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

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*. |

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. |

Torah Study #9 |

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. |

Lessons: |

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

2. Esrom

|
|
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 1st and 2nd covenant.
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)

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.

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.
• 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

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.

We gentiles are

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*) |
