The ministry of reconciliation

Message of Reconciliation

Torah sh’Bichtav

(Written Torah)

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Yahu(ah)shua

Ok what part of the above do you not understand, the truth is written right before your

eyes, will you still deny it still

In plain truth it reads

1 Yochanan 5:3

For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are

not heavy,

It saddens me most when even when the truth is right before their eyes are blinded

By this we know that we love the children of YHWH (Yahuah), when we love YHWH

(Yahuah) and keep His commandments. For this is the love of YHWH (Yahuah), that we

keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

1 Yochanan 1:6

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and halak in darkness, we lie, and do not the

emet:

To say you love YHWH (Yahuah), yet walks in a lifestyle of conscious disobedience is like

the believer who says they walk in fellowship with YHWH (Yahuah), yet walks in darkness

You are liar

Your love for YHWH (Yahuah) will show itself in your obedience. "Believers frequently

attempt to turn love for YHWH (Yahuah) into a mushy emotional experience. His

commandments are not burdensome when we see how wise and good the commandments

of YHWH (Yahuah) are. They are gifts from Him to show us the best and most fulfilling life

possible. YHWH (Yahuah)'s commands are like the "manufacture's handbook" for life; He

tells us what to do because He knows how we work best. YHWH (Yahuah)'s commands are

not given to bind or to pain us, or because YHWH (Yahuah) is like an irritated old man.

It’s because He loves us

Genuine love for YHWH will result in obedience to His commandments. This love expresses

itself in action, not just emotion, and here is the stumbling block that many fall over

Devarim 31:26

Take this sefer ha torah, and put it in the side of the aron ha Brit of YHWH (יהוה)

Eloheichem, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

The congregation itself was meant to be YHWH's witness, so in a way the scroll was a

witness against the witness, if they should depart from this calling. But if we keep the

Torah, it can be a witness for us instead. Can people look at our lives and say, "Oh, so that's

what it means!"? YHWH listed the names of the men who wept when they compared

themselves to the Torah when they rediscovered it

Nekhemyah 8

Is your name listed as one who upholds it? Like the Sabbath, the Ark is a sign of the

covenant. With the Torah beside it, the theme of the Two Witnesses that runs throughout

Scripture shows up here again.

Exodus 25:16

And you shall put into the Ark the Testimony which I will give you.

Specifies that the testimony should be put inside the Ark of the Covenant when Moshe

would receive it. He himself built another chest out of only wood, without the gold, possibly

to hold only the stone slabs with the Ten Declarations on them.

The Ark of the Covenant (Hebrew: רית Ārōn Hāb’rīt, modern pron. Aron Habrit), also ארון הב

known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a chest described in Book of

Shemot 25:10-22

"And they shall make an Ark of shitim (Acacia) atzei (wood); two and a half cubits shall be

its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

This is the "Ark of the Covenant". It parallels the Sabbath in that it is a sign of the covenant

between YHWH and Y’Isra’EL. The word "chest" (aron) itself, in Hebrew, comes from a root

word meaning "to pluck or gather". They would not have had large planks with them in the

wilderness. And acacia trees themselves are mostly made up of many small twigs; there is

little ready-made "lumber" in them. Many tiny pieces have to be joined together to make it

work as such, paralleling Yehezq'El 37's picture of the two houses of Israel being regathered

like two "sticks" that become one. Sticks are not to be gathered on the Sabbath (a picture of

the millennial kingdom), but beforehand.

Num. 15:32ff

And while the benai Yisrael were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks

upon Yom Shabbat.

A cubit is approximately 18 to 21 inches long (the standardized measure of the length from a

man's elbow to fingertips). Note that none of these measures is in whole numbers, and the

Hasidic rabbis explain this to mean that no matter how well we learn the Torah, there is

always another piece to learn; only when we become what this ark represents will it truly

be complete.

Shemot 25:11

And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make

on it a molding of gold all around.

Inside and out: Though very few people would ever see inside this box, it must still be the

same as the outside. If the outside tells you it is pure, the inside must agree, or it is nothing

but "whitewashed tombs" or cups that are only cleaned on the outside.

Matt. 23:25-28

Woe unto you, Sofrim and P'rushim, tzeviut (hypocrisy)!for you make clean the outside of

the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. [You] blind

Parush, first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may be

clean also.Woe unto you,

Sofrim and P'rushim, tzeviut (hypocrisy)!for ye are like unto whited tombs, which on the

outside appear beautiful, but within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness. Even

so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of tzeviut

(hypocrisy) and lawlessly against the Torah.

A pig is deceptive because on the outside it appears kosher (it has a split hoof) but inwardly

it does not chew the cud, which is a picture of "meditating day and night" on YHWH's

words

Tehillim 1

Happy is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked nor stands in the way of

sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scoffers, But his delight is in the Torah of YEHOVAH; and

in His Torah he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a *tree planted by the *rivers

of *water, that brings forth it’s *fruit in its season; his *leaf also shall not wither; and

whatsoever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so: but are like the chaff which the

wind drives away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the

congregation of the righteous. For YEHOVAH knows the way of the righteous: but the way

of the wicked shall perish.

Amein and ameien

sifting them, refining the nutrition that is gotten from them. The pig, instead, eats anything

indiscriminately and cannot filter any of it--a bad example which we do not want to make a

part of ourselves. But purity goes beyond the Torah's direct physical commands (as

important as they are) to the heart of the matter, as Yahu(ah)shua said--loving YHWH and

neighbor. So it is up to us to understand the deeper meanings so we can make the inside and

outside truly match. If we are selfless inside the house, we will lay the necessary

groundwork for Yahu(ah)shua's Kingdom to come, and then the outside world will line up

with it; they will have no choice.

Tehillim 2:9

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's

vessel.

The true Kingdom cannot be faked; that would be an unworthy vessel for His testimony. If

we find that we are pretending to be pure when we really are not, be thankful for the

revelation so we can deal with it and go back and actually make the inside right, however

much rebuilding it may take.

Shemot 25:12

You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings shall be

on one side, and two rings on the other side.

Intervals: Aramaic, "on its four joints", but the word is the same as for "rhythmic beats".

They may correspond with Yaakov’s four firstborn sons, since the firstborn is counted as the

first of a woman ("who opens the womb"), not a man. Two "sticks" (cf. Y'chezq'El/Ezek. 37)

were needed to keep its balance; neither Yehudah nor Efrayim can carry the covenant

alone.

Shemot 25:13-15

And you shall make poles of shitim (Acacia) atzei (wood), and overlay them with gold.You

shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, that the Ark may be carried by

them. The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark; they shall not be taken from it.

The poles poked against the curtain dividing the two sanctuaries, providing evidence that

the Ark was still inside.

1 Kings 8:8

And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the Kodesh before

the debir (oracle), and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

They were not simply to transport it; they protected the ones carrying it from death. Thus

they are a picture of Yahu(ah)shua--human (of wood) yet pure (overlaid with gold)--who

saves us from YHWH's wrath; they are also a picture of our "abiding in him" so that we can

continue to bear fruit. If the ark had always been carried on poles as YHWH said, there

would never have been an occasion where it nearly fell off a cart, leading to the death of the

one who illegally touched it with the best intentions of steadying it.

2 Shmuel 6:6-7

And when they came to Nakhon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the Aron ha

Elohim (אלהים ), and took hold of it; for the oxen shook [it]. And the anger of YHWH (יהוה)

was kindled against Uzzah; and Elohim (אלהים) smote him there for [his] error; and there he

died by the Aron ha Elohim (אלהים).

Shemot 25:16

And you shall put into the Ark the Testimony which I will give you.

Testimony: or witness. The box was not decorated for its own sake. It is to hold and to

highlight the Testimony. Testimony to what? The real covenant that could not be put into

the box, for the writing only bears witness to what we have agreed to do. Our actions are

what constitute the covenant. If we are not obeying, we have no covenant, even if it is

"written on our hearts" or tattooed on our arms! Later would be added Aharon's almond

rod that budded (symbolizing authority and Yahu(ah)shua, the firstfruits of the

resurrection) and an omer of manna (symbolizing Y’Isra’EL's life as a whole community).

These are YHWH's treasures, so this ark is His treasure-chest. If it does not have these three

things, the box is a useless, empty shell, 1 Cor. 13

Shemot 25:17 (ii)

"You shall make a Kaporet (Mercy Seat) of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its

length and a cubit and a half its width.

Cover: place of atonement; LXX, "propitiatory". Sometimes called the "mercy-seat", it was

the place where the blood from the chosen goat on the Day of Atonement was brought by

the High Priest--the only time he could enter the direct manifest presence of YHWH and

survive, because he was doing so for the whole community. Even though the

commandments were inside, and it was overlaid with gold to symbolize purity, still this

picture of a salvaged human being had to be atoned for in order for full fellowship with

YHWH to be restored.

Shemot 25:18

And you shall make two Keruvim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the

two ends of the Kaporet (Mercy Seat).

Kh'ruvim: or cherubim, a special class of "Messengers" (spiritual beings) that have a special

connection with guarding something that is Sacred. (They are not mentioned until after

Adam and Chavvah's sin made it necessary for the Tree of Life to be guarded from them

and their progeny.) The popular image of "cherubs" as pudgy babies with wings is a gross

diminishing of the terror they must have aroused with their flaming swords, but there is

some truth to it: rabbinic writings say they had childlike faces to symbolize innocence.

There is great depth to this picture. The Talmud says they were meant to symbolize YHWH

in face-to-face fellowship with His bride. This covenant is indeed meant to be like a

marriage, and the depiction is of one piece with the "atoning cover", emphasizing that the

covering is inextricably connected to the covenant and to the relationship between YHWH

and Israel, the other party to the covenant, which is indeed meant to bear His fruit in the

earth. Heylel (Lucifer) was once called "the anointed kh'ruv that covers".

Yehezq'El 28:14

Thou [art] the anointed cheruv that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the

kodesh har (mountain) Elohim (אלהים); thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the

stones of fire.

But as Ruth's nearer kinsman was unwilling to jeopardize his inheritance by redeeming

those who represented both faithful Yehudah as well as the wayward northern kingdom,

haSatan's fall was in being unwilling to humble himself. Yahu(ah)shua, "instead of the joy

set before him endured the Tree, despising the shame" and was in turn exalted more highly

than ever before and made "Head over all things". We can only imagine how jealous

haSatan is to see another "bride" replacing "him".

(Compare his description in

Y'hezqel/Ezekiel 28:12-16

Ben Adam, take up a lamentation upon the melekh Tzor, and say unto him,Thus saith

Eloahi (אדני) YHWH (יהוה):Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in

beauty.Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Elohim (אלהים); every precious stone [was]

thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the

sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of

thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou [art] the anointed

cheruv that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the kodesh har (mountain)

Elohim (אלהים); thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou [wast]

perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By

the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou

hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Elohim (אלהים): and

I will destroy thee, O covering cheruv, from the midst of the stones of fire.

with the city-bride portrayed in

Rev. 21:9-20;

And there came unto me one of the seven malakhim which had the seven vials full of the

seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the

Lamb's wife.And he carried me away in the Ruakh to a great and high mountain, and

shewed me that great city, the set apart Yerushalayim, descending out of Shamayim from

Elohim (אלהים), Having the Kavod Elohim (אלהים): and her light [was] like unto a stone most

precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, [and]

had Shneym Asar she'arim (gates), and at the she'arim (gates) Shneym Asar malakhim,

and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the Shneym Asar Shivtei ha benei

Yisrael: On the east three she'arim (gates); on the north three she'arim (gates); on the south

three she'arim (gates); and on the west three she'arim (gates).And the wall of the city had

Shneym Asar foundations, and in them the names of the Shneym Asar Shlichim of the

Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the she'arim

(gates) thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large

as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, Shneym Asar thousand furlongs.

The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.And he measured the wall thereof,

an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of

the malakh. And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure zahav,

like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all

manner of precious stones The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the

third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx.the sixth, sardius; the

seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the

eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Yeshayahu/Isa. 61:10.)

I will greatly rejoice in YHWH (יהוה), my nefesh shall be joyful in Elohai; for he hath clothed

me with the Bigdei Yesha (garments of salvation), he hath covered me with the robe of

tzedakah, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth

[herself] with her jewels.

This explains why ""he" was so eager to trip up humanity which was made in YHWH's

image. That image was indeed shattered; mystical Judaism speaks of it in terms of molten

gold bursting its mold and being scattered all over creation. But YHWH initiated its repair

when He created the people of Y’Isra’EL

, through which the "second Adam" could be born. Yahu(ah)shua is the Head of this "one

new man" which is being gathered from the seed of Avraham scattered all over the world

and any who adhere to them. It rests upon the covenant which includes Torah, the rod, and

manna--all pictures of Yahu(ah)shua. These kh'ruvim were connected together and formed

one piece.

Ephesians 4:25

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are

members one of another.

says the many parts of the Body--also called the "Tree of Life" in mystical Judaism--are

"members of one another". The tree of life is what the first-mentioned kh'ruvim

Gen. 3

guarded. This is a reminder that while we are not innocent anymore, when we become

sacred enough to be one of the guardians of this reunited Adam, we will be allowed in

again; in YHWH’s kingdom we will again have access to the Tree of Life, as per

Rev. 22.

So the "place of atonement" between these kh'ruvim (v. 22) is a prophetic picture of the

restoration of Adam and Chavvah, the rejoining of YHWH and His bride, and a return to

the Garden. He sets them here as a reminder of what kind of people He wants us to become-

-the kind of people He can dwell among, for His deepest desire is simply to be able to walk

with Adam again in the Garden. But He must make us fit to be able to stand His presence,

and that is what the box's contents are about. As in the mystical tree, the Kingdom is the

way back in--the "place" at which the mirror image of Eden (culminating at Yerushalayim)

connects to the real Eden above. Hammered: LXX, "graven", yet even if that is the case,

these graven images were specifically commissioned by YHWH as a picture by which He

wanted to show something about Himself, not a figment of men's imagination. Like the

kh'ruvim woven into the curtains that hid it, this image was seen by only those who should

know enough to not carry it in the wrong direction.

Shemot 25:19

Make one Keruv at one end, and the other Keruv at the other end; you shall make the

Keruvim at the two ends of it of one piece with the Kaporet (Mercy Seat).

Shemot 25:20

And the Keruvim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the Kaporet (Mercy Seat)

with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the Keruvim shall be toward

the Kaporet (Mercy Seat).

Wings: symbols of concealment, covering, and deliverance from danger. Sheltering:

Aramaic, "overshadowing". Each look toward the other: literally, "man toward its

brother". The atonement is directly tied to looking into one another's faces and becoming a

community. "If one cannot love his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love YHWH,

whom he has not seen?"

1 Yochanan 4:20

If a man say, I love Elohim, and hateth his achi, he is a liar: for he that love not his achi

whom he hath seen, how can he love Elohim whom he hath not seen?

Wings: not necessarily like those of a bird (though Yeshayahu 6 seems to imply this when

we see kh'ruvim in action there); the term really means anything that is "projected

laterally" or the extremity (as used of garments in many passages, such as

Numbers 15:38

Speak unto the benai Yisrael, and bid them that they make them tzitzit in the borders of

their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the tzitzit of the

borders a cord (thread twist פתיל) of blue:

Deut. 22:12

Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest

[thyself].

It is also the same term as the "skirt" Ruth asked Boaz to spread over her to symbolize his

taking her in marriage as part of being kinsman-redeemeer for her husband who had died

childless.

Ruth 3:9

And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Rut thine handmaid: spread

therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou [art] a near Go'el.

So, in context, this may simply mean they are spreading out a garment to serve as a

wedding canopy over themselves.

Shemot 25:21

You shall put the Kaporet (Mercy Seat) on top of the Ark, and in the Ark you shall put the

Testimony that I will give you.

Shemot 25:22

And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the Kaporet (Mercy

Seat), from between the two Keruvim which are on the Ark of the Testimony, about

everything which I will give you in commandment to the Benai Yisrael.

Meet: the term can mean to summon, but can also mean to betroth! Two cannot walk

together unless they are agreed

Amos 3:3,

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

in which the term "agreed' is the same one used here). The ideal Y’Isra’EL represented by

this intertwining of YHWH with His bride (as described in the Talmud) is a reparation for

what haSatan did, just as Esther replaced Queen Vashti. The ark is to be set behind curtains

as if in a bridal chamber. It defines how close He wants Israel to come to Him. We are even

told that one day we will no longer look for the Ark of the Covenant

Yirmeyahu/Jer. 3:16ff

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and parah (increased; fruitful) in ha ertez,

in those days, declares YHWH (יהוה), lo yomer (say) Aod (anymore) Aron Brit YHWH (יהוה):

neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit [it];

neither shall [that] be done any more.

this is because we will by then BE what it represents!

as solely containing the Tablets of Stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed.

According to some traditional interpretations of the Book of Exodus

Shemot 16:33

And Mosheh said unto Aharon:

Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before YHWH (יהוה), to be

kept for your generations.

Containeror pot : Hirsch, "a cooling-flask", perhaps of stone, to keep the damaging heat

away from it during its long-term storage. An omer's worth: literally, "the fullness of an

omer". Posterity: literally, "generations". Will some of it be needed again during the time no

one is able to buy or sell if they do not have the mark of the beast? (Rev. 13) Yahu(ah)shua

said he would give some of the "hidden manna" to the one who overcomes--that is, endures

until that time. (Rev. 2:17)

Shemot 16:34

As YHWH (יהוה) commanded Mosheh, so Aharon laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

Moshe probably appended this (and the next verse) just before he died, as the ark was not

yet built at this time. While some say they know where the ark of the covenant is,

Yirmeyahu 3:16

tells us it will one day no longer be brought to mind. If we get the point and live out the

intent behind it, it really does not matter if we still have the physical reminder or not. We

will already be that omer.

Bamidbar 17:10 (17:25)

And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:

Bring Aharon's rod again before the edut, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou

shalt quite take away their telunnah (murmurings) from me, that they die not.

YHWH was tired of killing Israelites. Now if someone grumbled, all Moshe would have to

do was bring out Aharon’s rod as a reminder of his authority and ask if they really wanted

to argue with the sign YHWH had given. When their fruit surpassed Aharon’s, they might

have something worth saying! Until it did, if they did not stay quiet, they would feel the

rod! This was not so much to commemorate the miracle as to preclude further deaths of the

same sort as Qorakh’s. They might be “sons of rebellion” (and some might specifically be

sons of the rebel himself, for they would be reminded of this rod when they went to cover the

ark, as this was their responsibility – 3:30-31; 4:4-6), but they could survive if they did not

give expression to what was latent within them. But they could not just walk in there and

see it; this place was off limits to most. But this also gave it more appeal and made it more

powerful in a way, because it was not a common thing they saw every day and would take

for granted. It was more “mystical”. Yet each new generation that did not see this event

still had to understand authority and proper order so that they would not again fall into

chaos, so this underlines the responsibility of teaching the next generaration that it is there

and what it is about. Our ruler is so fully identified with Torah that he was even called "the

Torah fleshed out".

Yochanan 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Kavod, the Kavod

as of the only begotten of Ha AVI,) full of Chesed and Emet.

He identified himself with the manna.

Yoch. 6:31

And Yeshua (ישוע) said unto them I am the lechem of life: he that cometh to Me shall never

hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.

His blossoming will stop the murmuring against Torah that is still prevalent, and the dry

stick of Efrayaim can grow together into the stick of Yehudah.

Y'hezq'el 37:16ff

This can only occur if it is alive again. We, too, are meant to bring forth edible fruit from

what seemed long since dead. Our lives are meant to be a witness against the rebellious, not

witnesses to the lawless one.

17:11 (17:26)

And Mosheh did [so]: as YHWH (יהוה) commanded him, so did he.

So as: or, precisely when.

Ivrim 9:4

Which had the golden censer, and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid roundabout with gold,

wherein [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aharon's rod that budded, and Luchot

haBrit (the tablets of the Covenant)

the Ark also contained Aaron's rod ,a jar of manna and the first Torah scroll as written by

Moses

Zachor et-yom haShabat lekadsho.

Remember the shabbat day, to keep it Sacred

Remember: recall, recognize, or make mention of it--because it is nothing new at this point;

it has been around since creation

(and verse 11 makes this connection overtly).

. "because in six days YHWH set in order the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is

in them, but He desisted on the seventh day. On account of this YHWH blessed the seventh

day and set it apart [as holy].

This assumes we keep track of which day it is. But if we look around today, it is to see how

easy it is for even very religious people to forget. A parallel passage,

Deut. 5:12,

Shomer the Yom Shabbat to sanctify it, as YHWH (יהוה) Eloheicha hath commanded thee.

says "observe" ("guard") where this one says "remember", for to guard we must remember.

The term for "guard" essentially means to fence off--i.e., look for ways to ensure that you

stay away from your own pursuits. Meeting together helps us keep those things off our

minds. We should make a point of doing as many things as possible differently on the

Sabbath so that nothing on it is ordinary or mundane. This is the one commandment

YHWH repeated after all the words Moshe brought down from the mountain

Exodus 31:13-17

Speak you also to the Benai Yisrael, saying.Truly My Shabbat you shall keep: for it [is] a

sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that ANI

YEHOVAH (יהוה) that who sanctify you. You shall keep the Shabbat, therefore, for it is set

apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any

work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.Six days may work be done;

but in the seventh [is] the Shabbat of rest, kadosh to YEHOVAH (יהוה): whosoever does

[any] work in Yom ha Shabbat, he shall surely be put to deathWherefore the Benai Yisrael

shall keep the Shabbat, to observe the Shabbat throughout their generations, [for] a

perpetual Berit. It [is] a sign between Me and the Benai Yisrael forever: for [in] six days

YHWH (יהוה) made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.

probably because He knew it would be the one most frequently susceptible to mis-obedience

by otherwise-righteous people. (It does not just say "one day in seven", but specifically the

seventh day of the week.) But keeping it in mind also requires a concrete participation as

acknowledgment of its spiritual reality. The tense of "remember" here extends indefinitely

beyond merely the day itself (S.R. Hirsch), since in a sense all days were created for the

purpose of having a Sabbath rest. The liturgy for the end of the Sabbath blesses YHWH

who, as He created a distinction between the Sabbath and the ordinary days, has also

distinguished between light and darkness, and between Israel and the rest of the nations,

since it is not to be a nation just like all the others. Set-apart: in a category of its own.

Yochanan 12:31

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

2 Yochanan 5

For many deceivers are entered into ha olam hazeh, who confess not that Yahu(ah)shua

HaMashiyach is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Messiah.

That time is nigh upon us

Yochanan 16:8-11

And when he is come, he will reprove Olam Hazeh of sin, and of righteousness, and of

judgment

Of sin,

because they believe not on me;

Of righteousness,

because I go to My AVI, and ye see Me no more;

Of judgment,

because the prince of this world is judged.

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Ephesios 2:2

Wherein in time past ye halakh according to the course of this olam hazeh, according to the

prince of the power of the air, the Ruakh that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Once: emphasizing that it refers only to a former time. Arrangement: world-order,

constitution, the whole mass of humanity that functions apart from YHWH’s Torah.

Atmosphere: particular the lower, denser air—possibly contrasted with the clearer air at

the top of the holy mountains. Stubborn opposition to compliance: not those who try to obey

but sometimes misstep.

Eloneinu Yahu(ah)shua HaMashiyach

In His Name

blessed be, in His name

'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)shua

passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O YHWH, [thou] Ben David. And

Yahu(ah)shua 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)shua had

compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight,

and they followed him.

Remember 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

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 secular traffic 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

The Everlasting Covenant is The Sabbath
