Yeshayahu 52:11
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no
unclean [thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye
clean, that bear the vessels of YHWH ().
There are three steps to our departure:
Heed your call from heaven
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from Shamayim, saying, Come out
of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that
ye receive not of her plagues.
This invitation is given to the people of YHWH (Yahuah) yet in
captivity, lest by remaining they should be involved in her
destruction. As YHWH (Yahuah) once had a captive people in
the old Mesopotamian Babylon, so he has a people in the
spiritual Babylon. The condemnation of the great spiritual

despotism is not a declaration that all whom she has enslaved
are the children of the devil.
"Get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen
and away from your father's house, and go to the land that Iwill show you
Krinthos Bet 6:15
And what concord hath HaMashiyach with Belial? or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
Krinthos Bet 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with koferim (unbelievers):for what fellowship hath Tzidkat with lawlessness? And what
brit hath ohr (light) with choshech (darkness)?
By "righteousness" is meant righteous persons, who are madeby the righteousness of Yahu(ah)shua in YHWH ( Yahuah) to
whom Yahu(ah)shua is made righteousness, or to whom the
righteousness of Yahu(ah)shua is imputed for justification;
and who also have principles of grace and sacredness in their
hearts, or have the citizenship of the kingdom of YHWH in
them, which consists of righteousness, peace, and joy in the
Ruakh HaQodesh; and who being made free from thedominion of sin, are become servants of righteousness: and by
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
5/16
unrighteousness is designed unrighteous persons, who are
destitute of a justifying righteousness, are filled with all
unrighteousness, and are, as it were, a mass and lump of
iniquity; now, what fellowship can there be between persons ofsuch distant characters?
Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers. The figure is drawn
from the prohibition of
Deu 22:10
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
Indeed, you cannot! The root word for "ox" is "traveler"--one
that moves on, while a donkey typically digs in its heels unless
coerced by a reward. This is another forbidden mixture, and is
the basis for Paul's command not to be "unequally yoked" with
unbelievers. (2 Cor. 6:14)His context is lawlessness, or being
without Torah. He says to come out from such and not touch
the unclean thing. The ox is a clean animal; the donkey is not.
The ox is the highest form of offering, while a donkey, though
strong, useful, able to carry much, and redeemable, cannot be
offered on His altar. It offers less to Him. Just because it can
also pull a plow does not mean it has the right to pull a plow
with what is already acceptable and does not need to be
redeemed. Yahu(ah)shua speaks of his yoke being easy: it is
common to yoke a seasoned plow-ox and a novice together so
that the one can train the other, but two different types of
animals will want to move at a different pace, and are likely to
start moving in a circle instead of a straight path. This is really
the same argument as was given in verse 9, and which will be
given in verse 11, since the term for "mixed kinds" can apply toanimals or fabrics as well. The point is to teach us about how
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
6/16
to live: "How can two walk together unless they are agreed?"
(Amos 3:3) In Hebrew, a donkey (the name of which means
"heap" --i.e., the whole pile) is associated with the world at
large, so we could read, "do not yoke a sojourner to the world";it will tie us to one place. The word for "plow" can also mean
"keep silent"; there is no peace if you mix clean and unclean, or
try to serve both YHWH and Mammon. It can also mean
"devise", for we cannot co-design things well with people who
are motivated differently.
Lev 19:19
You shall keep My Chukkot. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender
with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled
seed (kil'ayim): neither shall a garment mingled of linen and
woollen come upon thee.
Sow your field: i.e., the same area of the farm; it does not
mean you cannot grow more than one crop, but they are not to
be mixed. These are all different ways of depicting the same
principle. Things must be kept distinct, so we can tell which are
the crop and which are weeds. This includes mixtures like
"YHWH our God"--one acceptable name combined with one
that is not--or mixing paganism into Scriptual faith, which is
where most of the church is today. At best Christianity is a
mixture of YHWHs word and human morality. The last
prohibition symbolizes a life of purity unmixed with sin. It
hearkens back to the story of Qayin and Hevel (Abel): linen
comes from the earth; wool comes from a being with life
coursing through it that can shed blood and picture
redemption (which comes from heaven). There is a place for
each, but the two are not to be mixed. But this was also a
sacred blend used in some of the priestly garments
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom

Ex. 28:6; 39:29
And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of]
purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, andscarlet, [of] needlework; as YHWH () commanded Mosheh.
it was reserved exclusively for the sanctuary, not for the lay
person. However, some garments found in Dead Sea caves
from c. 135 C.E. had white tassels of linen and blue tassels of
wool woven together. Thus the tassels which every Israelite isto wear on the extremities of his garments (Num. 15) were of
this mixture, symbolizing that they are a "kingdom of priests".
Ex. 19:6
And ye shall be unto Me a Mamlakah Kohenim, and an
Qadosh nation. These [are] the Devarim which thou shalt
speak unto the Benai Yisrael.
Livestock symbolize our security and wealth. Livestock
symbolize our security. Seed represents our descendants. We
must not let our children assimilate with the rest of the world.
The Torah forbids intermarriagenot with other races, but
with those who do not keep the Torah. We are not to mixYHWHs peace that passes understanding with security of the
type the world gives. Seed represents the Sons of the Kingdom
Mat. 13:38
The field is the Olam Hazeh; the zera Tov are the children of
the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
which are not to be sown among the sons of the evil one inunequal yokes, for how would the children of such mixed
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
8/16
marriages be taught to serve YHWH? And garments represent
our works; we must not mix kingdom works with earthly ones
that only benefit self by using YHWHs reputation as a way to
make a livelihood for ourselves, whether excessive, honest, ornot.
What concord hath Yahu(ah)shua with Belial? Belial, a
heathen god like Beelzebub, is used as a synonym for haSatan.
Mat 12:24
But when the Perushim heard [it], they said, This [fellow] dothnot cast out devils, but by Baal-zevuv the sar ha shadim (the
Prince of Demons).
As Yahu(ah)shua has nothing in common with haSatan, how
can a believer in him have a close intimacy with one who is still
under the dominion of the prince of this world?
As YHWH's living temple has nothing in common with the idol
temple, so the saints are to be separated from idolators.
For ye are the temple of the living YHWH .
We in our set apartness, are the sanctuary of YHWH, as is
proved by the passage quoted from
Lev 26:12.
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
9/16
And I will walk among you, and will be Eloheichem, and you
shall be My people.
Walk among you: This hearkens back to the Garden of Eden!
If we walk in His instruction, we will see the Kingdom come onearth, not in Heaven, as if He had made some mistake in
creating the earth and had to take us somewhere else instead.
If we do things rightly, He is the one coming to camp among
us. Heaven thus comes to earth. After that, why would anyone
want to go to Heaven?
To get away from YHWH?
A nation that did obey Him and thus come to know Him
intimately would be an oasis of peace, freedom, and joy in the
desert of the "normal" patterns of this fallen age.
YHWH dwells in his people as the Shekinah dwelt between the
cherubim.
This is your call to become part of YIsrael but to be you mustbe cleansed from pagan pollutions.
Yeshayahu 52:11
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
[thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the
vessels of YHWH ().
There are three steps to our redemption: repenting, coming
out, and then "taking the Egypt out of ourselves". It was
Israel's outcry of dissatisfaction with Egypt that led YHWH to
begin to act. Anything ritually impure: the dead bodies, or "the
unclean thing" in particular: the Abomination of Desolation
(Dan. 11:31), which will have to be removed from the Templebefore the holy vessels can be brought back in. Babylon stole
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
10/16
YHWH's holy vessels from the Temple, but was not destroyed
until she appropriated them for her own feast. The spirit of
Babylon has done so again, and there will come a "last straw"
for it as well. From her midst: from between the halves of thedivided animals, that is, out of any covenant with Babylon.
Too many vessels that are prepared for His Temple have been
filled with pride instead and become useless to Him. We need
to remove the contents of the vessels that are in His way so
that He can fill us with what He wishes to use them for. There
is never room in His vessels for our own agendas. "Vessels"
can also be translated "weapons". How can we use YHWH'sweapons for another army? Dare we use them to advance the
cause of Babylon?
YirmeYahu 31:1,
At the same time, saith YHWH (), will I be Elohei all the
mishpekhot (families) Yisra'el, and they shall be My people.
YirmeYahu 31:9;
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I
lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in
a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am aFather to Yisrael, and Efrayim [is] My firstborn.

Yeshayahu 43:6,
I will say to the tzafon (north), Give up; and to the teiman(south), Keep not back: bring My Banim from far, and my
banot from the ketzeh (ends) ha eretz;
It is a free combination of the Ruakh of several passages. The
two passages teach that it is the Divine will that his worshipers
should be separate from the world; that if they are thus
separate he will receive them, and will accept them as his own
children. Compare
Rom 12:2,
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of Elohim ().
Modern translation
Moreover, do not let your attitudes be shaped by the
paradigms of this age, but rather be transformed by the
renewing of your minds, so that you may prove [for
yourselves] what the will of Elohim isthat which is honorable
and acceptable and mature.
This age: the world order of mankind, with its accompanying
pursuits. Transformed: Gk., metamorphosed (as a tadpole or
caterpillar undergoes in becoming something so radically
different as to be beyond comparing). The hearers need to look
beyond the temporary inconveniences that obedience will
bring. Renewing of your minds: forging of new habitual
patterns of thinking. It has been scientifically proven that aswe encourage such reorientation in our ways of thinking, new
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
12/16
neural pathways are physically forged in the brain and
eventually become the new defaults as second nature, the old
ones fading due to disuse. This is the link between being
positionally righteous and realizing righteousness inpracticality. Aramaic, by the hanukkah (training and
dedication) of your mind. Prove: recognize as genuine after
scrutinizing. Mature: fully accomplishing one's purpose,
completely carrying out a task assigned to us.
Ya'akov 1:27.
Pure religion and undefiled before Elohim () and the
Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the Olam
Hazeh.
This statement is based on
Yeshayahu 1:16.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings
from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Clean: in most biblical imagery, this is an idiom for
selflessness. This is what determines whether a certain act is
"of the flesh" or "of the spirit" if not specified in Torah.
Yeshayahu 1:17
Learn to do well; seek mishpat, relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
Learn: literally, be goaded. Demand: or "seek out" in the
strongest sense in which it can be understood. Learning to
discern requires a return to the Torah, which teaches us to
make such distinctions. (Lev. 10:10) They have the
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
13/16
infrastructure intact, but are perishing because they lack
knowledge.
Look in on: with the sense of going to see how they are faring,
looking after their needs, and providing for them. Adeclaration of having fulfilled this obligation is made after one
has tithed to the Levites what he has collected over the course
of three years for the sake of the widow and orphan.
Deut. 26:13
Then thou shalt say before YHWH () Eloheicha, I have
brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] bayit, and also
have given them unto the Levi'im, and unto the stranger, to the
orphan, and to the widow, according to all thy mitzvot which
thou hast tzavah me: I have not transgressed thy mitzvot,
neither have I forgotten [them]:
From being: or, "so that you will no longer be". Walk upright:or "straighten up".
This is one of the reminders the authorities in Yerushalayim
(which included Yaaqov) gave to Paul when he finally did
submit his plans for their approval.
Gal. 2:10
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same
which I also was forward to do.
Needy: those in Yerushalayim for whom Paul later took up a
collection from among the Gentile believers. (Romans 15:26)
Eager: or diligent.
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
14/16
The world: the way it is ordered by the culture surrounding us,
which often conflicts with what YHWH intends for His people.
Finally
In His Name
blessed be, in His name
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
15/16
'YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YHWH bless
you.' "
Be not blind to the truth
And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
heard that Yahu(ah)sha passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O YHWH, [thou] Ben David. And Yahu(ah)sha
stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall
do unto you?
They say unto Him, YHWH, that our eyes may be opened. So
Yahu(ah)sha had compassion [on them], and touched their
eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they
followed him.
His servant and yours
Shalom in Righteousness
by the GRACE of YHWH
keiYAH
Ntzryaremember me and pray for me that YHWH will be gracious
unto me and be merciful unto my sins which i have sinned
against him. Peace be to them that read and that hear these
things and to their servants:
Amein and Amein
Freely ye have received, freely give
8/4/2019 A Citizen of the Kingdom
16/16
A rule necessary, and of great extent. A servant in the Gospel
Vineyard, though worthy of his Comfortable support while in
the work. Should never preach for hire ,or make a seculartraffic of the Ruakh (spiritual work): what a scandal is it for a
man to traffic with gifts which he pretends, at least, to have
received from the Ruakh HaQodesh, of which he is not the
master, but the dispenser. He who preaches to get a living, or
make a fortune, is guilty of the most infamous sacrilege
.
