This is MY NAME for ever,

The ministry of reconciliation
Message of Reconciliation
Torah sh’Bichtav
(Written Torah)
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear?
“Sola Scriptura”
(the Scriptures alone is authoritative for faith)
(in His Name)
YaHuWaH
[Yah -hoo-Wah]
is the Name of the Creator.
YaHuWSCHuA
(YaHuWSCHuA) is His Son
ALuaHiYM
[Al-u-heem - ALHYM] means "Mighty Ones“ or "Power"
Qadosh
means Set-apart, Pure.
Kodesh
(Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"
Ruwach (Spirit) is the Ibry (Hebrew) name for His "Presence", pictured
as the Counselor, Helper, and Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from
the Father"

For in the day of trouble He will keep me secretly in His booth. In the
covering of His Tent He will hide me. On a Rock He raises me up.
is for you too!
Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be
protected, pray, and hear from Yahuahshua. Knowing there is such a
place is a matter of faith. Going back time and again, that's a matter of
building a relationship. You need not have an advanced degree in any
subject, need not have memorized Scripture from beginning to end, but
instead be aware the YaHuWaH of Y’ISCHRa’EL has a place for each
Jew and Gentile who will open their minds and hearts to Him.
Mt 6:5-8
When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received
their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber,
and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret, and
your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In praying,
don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they
shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be like them,
don't you see that your Father knows what things you need before you
ask Him.
The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared by
those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.
It is written
Lu 11:33
“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,
but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.
Teh. 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your
whole body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full
of darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it shall
be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining gives
you Light.”
With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study together in the
Ruwach
And now brothers and sisters
Come out of the secret place bearing light!
who see it from afar. The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of light so
many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen are addressed to
Jew and Gentile together. We do this because that is what the Bible
does. This opens the window to make more sense of what Scripture tells
us!
In the secret place is plain language, something simple to read. This is a
mere starting place for deeper consideration.
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness [breaks Torah]. In fact, sin
is lawlessness [being without Torah].
Everything we say, do and act is nothing when not in the realms of HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS, how can we learn righteousness or its meaning less
we study the scriptures
How can we hope in our own resurrection and immortality?
It is not possible.
But they didn’t listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels
and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not
forward
The Writing is on the wall
This is the nation that has not listened to the Voice of YaHuWaH their
Aluahiym, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from
their mouth.
No matter how much we rely on our own goodness, it’s not enough, how
can you be so blind to the very truth that sets you free, and grants
access to immortal self-life
For while we still are sinners, he forgives us
(Something man is incapable of doing without the very Ruwach
HaQodesh dwelling in our hearts)

Bayith Tsayad
ית יד ב צ
Hunter of righteousness
In this scripture is more than meets the eye
Mark 8:22
YaHuWSHuWaH came to Bayith Tsayad. They brought a blind man to
Him, and begged Him to touch him. YaHuWSHuWaH took hold of the
blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When He had
spit on his eyes, and laid His hands on him, and asked him if he saw
anything He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like
trees walking.” Then again YaHuWSHuWaH laid His hands on his eyes,
and made him look up, and he was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
It is HE who GRANTS us to SEE, to HEAR. And WALK
But be doers of the Word/Miltha, and not only hearers, deluding
your own selves.
(Please read the next scripture carefully)
Hebrews 8:10
But this is the covenant I will make with the people of Ysra'al on That
Day, says YaHuWaH: I will put My Torah in their mind so they will
understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey
them. I will be their Aluahiym, and they will be my people.
YaHuWaH of the Aluahiym has drawn up a covenant (contract) and it is
non-negotiable,
YirmeYahuw 7:23
but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My Voice, and I shall
be your Aluahiym, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the Way
that I command you, that it may be well with you.
YaHuWShuWaH has purchased the believer, body, soul and Ruwach by
His own blood. Let, us therefore, be careful what we do with another’s
property. Let our bodies be kept as His they are and fit for His use and
residence.
The people who sat in darkness saw a Great Light, to those who sat in
the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
YaHuWSHuWaH said, the foremost of all the commandments is
Hebrew translation.
Long for: or, love
be passionately committed to.
Resolve: literally, heart—the innermost center of our being, where we
find our balance--the seat of our motivation, determination, and
inclinations. Before embarking on any venture, we must ask how it will
put Him first. If it cannot, there is no place for it. Unlike the Gentiles, we
are to seek His kingdom and His righteousness first.
But seek first YaHuWaH’s Reign, and His righteousness
Mat. 6:31-34
Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’, ‘What shall we
drink?’ or, ‘With what shall we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all
these things; for your shamayim Father knows that you need all these
things. But seek first YaHuWaH’s Reign, and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for
tomorrow, for tomorrow shall be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is
sufficient.
How do we do this? By obeying the Torah, which is summarized here. It
comes from a root meaning to bake bread.
1 Cor. 10:17
As therefore that bread is one, so we, who are many, are one body; for
we all partake of that one bread.
Partake: soul, life-force, or appetite, from a root meaning inhale or
refresh oneself. What the wicked hunger for will leave him hungry, but
what the righteous “eats” will satisfy him.
Prov. 13:25
The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul,
but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
Satisfying : the same word used in Hebrew for “very much”, from a root
meaning to rake burning coals or embers together. What should burn
within us is love for YaHuWaH. How do we love Him with our resources?
By giving them away for His use. We would waste them if we spent
them all on ourselves, but if they are in His “account”, they last forever.
When we give them up, they no longer weigh us down. YaHuWSHuWaH
said this verse was the greatest commandment in the Torah. But He said
a second was “like it”—that of loving our neighbor as ourselves.
WaYiqra (and He Called) 19:18
You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children
of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am
YaHuWaH.
This is because loving those from the same flock—literally, who graze
from the same pasture as we do—is a large part of what YaHuWaH
wants from us
Mikha 6:8,
He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does YaHuWaH require
of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your
Aluahiym?
so if we do not do this, we will not truly be loving YaHuWaH either.
1 Yahuwchanan 4:20-21
If a man says, “I love YaHuWaH,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for
he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love
YaHuWaH Whom he has not seen? This Commandment we have from
Him, that he who loves YaHuWaH should also love his brother.
This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this,
( in the instruction/makers handbook, the manual of human life, guides
us in the love of our neighbor)
To love ones neighbor is to walk in The Torah, which is to walk has
YaHuWSHuWaH did, the written word of YaHuWaH, that became flesh
and blood, where no sin was found in him,
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
is the LIGHT the very CLOAK of YaHuWaH
Aluahiym said
Let there be Light [YaHuWSHuWaH],” and Light came to be.
Aluahiym said, “Let Us make beings in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of
the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Image:
The word “image” really means "shadow", and indeed we present an
"outline" of what He is like, but in Scripture, "shadow" is often used to
mean being under His protection.
Aluahiym created us has unfinished works of Ruwach beings in His Own
image [and the Powerful One filled the man with His shadow]. In
Aluahiym’s image He created him; male and female He created them.
"Ancient Adam"
once bore the "full image of YaHuWaH", which has in it both masculine
and feminine qualities, until the two were separated in order to be able
to voluntarily come back together. Thus the image was lost, but at the
right time in history the Messenger and Message of YaHuWaH was
"made flesh" (by YaHuWaH) and there again existed a Man "in whom
the fullness of Aluahiym's nature dwelt bodily", who could rightfully be
called "the image of the invisible Aluahiym"
Colossians 1:15
Who is the likeness of the invisible Aluah, Firstborn of all creatures.
Colossians 2:9
For in Him, all the Fullness of the Mightiness dwells bodily,
who revealed and manifested as far as possible the One no one can ever
see.
Yahuwchanan 1:18
No one has ever seen YaHuWaH; but the only-begotten Son, Who is in
the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known.
His obedience
at the precise point at which the first Adam failed,
Philippians 2:6
Who, as He was in the likeness of Aluahiym, did not regard it sinful to be
the coequal of Aluahiym?
Who, existing in the form of Aluahiym, didn’t consider equality with
Aluahiym a thing to be grasped, (as did Huwah and Adam )
Gen. 3:6
Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food [lust of the flesh],
and that it was a delight [craving] to the eyes [lust of the eyes], and that
the tree was to be desired to make one wise [pride of life], she took of
its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he
ate.
"be like Aluahiym"
made it possible for others to have the hope of sharing the restoration in
the Day in which we see him.
1 Yahuwchanan 3:2
Beloved, now we are B'ney YaHuWaH, and it is not yet revealed what we
will be. But we know that, when He is revealed, we will be like Him; for
we will see Him just as He is.
Male and female: the root words themselves mean "marked" and
"pierced"--the very description of the one who later did what was
necessary to restore the full image of Aluahiym.
Yash. 53;
Who has believed our report? To whom has the Arm of YaHuWaH been
revealed? For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. When we see Him,
there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He was despised, and
rejected by men; a Man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He
was despised as One from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t
respect Him. Surely He has carried off our infirmities, and bore our
suffering; yet we considered Him plagued, struck by Aluahiym, and
afflicted But He was pierced for our transgressions. It was because of
our crookedness that He was so harshly beaten. The punishment that
brought our shalom was on Him; and by His stripes we are healed! All we
like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and
YaHuWaH has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet
when He was afflicted He opened not His mouth. As a lamb that is led
to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so He
opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from due process;
and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the
land of the living and stricken for the transgression of My people? 53:9
And He was appointed a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in
His death; although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in
His mouth.0 Yet it pleased YaHuWaH to bruise Him. He has caused Him
to suffer, that when He made Himself an offering for guilt, He shall see
His seed. He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of YaHuWaH shall
prosper in His hand. He shall see the the results of the suffering of His
life and be satisfied. Through His knowledge My righteous Servant,
makes the many righteous, and He bears their crookedness. Therefore
shall I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because He poured out His being to death, and was
numbered with the transgressors; yet He bore the sin of the many, and
made intercession for the transgressors.
Zkh. 12:10
I will pour on the House of Dawiyd, and on the inhabitants of
Yahrushalom, the Ruwach of acceptance/favour and of supplication
[begging for favor]; and they will look on Me, Aleph wTaw, Whom they
have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for His only
Son, and will grieve bitterly for Him, as one grieves over His Firstborn.
(Me is YaHuWaH .... Him is YaHuWSHuWaH)
... the Piercing of YaHuWaH ...... I will pour out on the house of Dawiyd
and on the inhabitants of Yahrushalom, the Ruwach of favor and of
supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and
they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will
weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. The first
thing to notice is that the direct object pointer a-t (aleph-taw) is meant
to show what part of the sentence receives action. In this case, the part
that receives the action is YaHuWaH, Who is Himself pierced! This fact
though raises an uncomfortable question: Since YaHuWaH is Ruwach,
how can He be pierced? The answer is a few words later in the same
verse. The phrase "only son" and it is an exclusive singularity, meaning
that only the HaMaSHiYaCH has an occurrence of YaHuWaH's nature, as
opposed to a separate Mighty-like nature, which would be idolatry. And
so, guarantees that HaMaSHiYaCH is the only human who has had, or
ever will have, an Occurrence of the one Mighty-like nature living
separately, and yet side by side, in His own human nature. You don't
have to go to the Gospels then to get the truth of this matter.
Furthermore, the Ruwach of YaHuWaH is said to rest upon
HaMaSHiYaCH, and so if the flesh of the man containing YaHuWaH's
Ruwach is pierced, then metaphorically speaking so is YaHuWaH pierced.
Therefore, in ZekarYahuw’s case, the placement of a-t (aleph-taw)leaves
no doubt whatsoever that it is YaHuWaH receiving the action of piercing,
and yet they mourn for Him (HaMaSHiYaCH) as an only Son! That fact
alone clearly proves that YaHuWaH is somehow pierced and yet He does
not die, but it also shows that His son does! But then, if the Son can
die, how is He "equal" with YaHuWaH Who can never die? The answer is
in understanding the difference between "equal" in Aramaic and English.
When we say "equal" we mean a sense of equivalence, such as 2 +2 =
4. However, to say "equal with Aluahiym" in this context does not mean
identical but rather "of the same substance as Aluahiym". What's the
difference? Well, water and ice are the same substance but are they
identical? Does each one act or is able to do the exact same things as
the other two? In the same way, HaMaSHiYaCH is made up of the
same "Mighty-like stuff" as YaHuWaH, but is given a subservient function
by the very nature of the fact that He has become human. That is also
why He can say "I am nothing without My Father", because without that
Mighty-like part, he is just another man! Over a firstborn: This is the
ultimate in weeping. YaHuWSHuWaH is indeed called the “firstborn”.
(Luke 2:7; Rom. 8:29; Col. 1:15, 18; Heb. 11:28; 12:23) And this is what
is being described—the mass acceptance of YaHuWSHuWaH by the Jews
in the Land, for He must be king over all of Ysra'al. (Can a Land be born
in one day?) Interestingly, while it was the tribe of Yahuwdah that first
crowned YaHuWSHuWaH ancestor David, Yahuwdah was the last tribe to
accept him back after the rebellion of Abshalom, who is a picture of the
Counterfeit HaMaSHiYaCH. (2 Shmuel 2:4; 19:11)
Because he made a way to get us back to “oneness”, restoring the
possibility of relationship that Adam had with YaHuWaH, we are told that
in Him there is neither male nor female.
Galatians 3:28
There is no longer Yahuwdite or gentile, slave or free, male or female.
For you are all Nätsärim--you are one in HaMaSHiYaCH YaHuWSHuWaH.
In Aluahiym’s image He created Adam. Whom he placed above the
messengers
YaHuWaH Aluahiym among the trees of the garden.
(Trees of Righteousness)
for Adam was created the son of YaHuWaH
yet sin made him unfinished
You were in Eden, the garden of Aluahiym; every precious stone
adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire,
turquoise, and beryl. The workmanship of your percussion instruments
and your socket-cavities were right within yourself; on the day that you
were created they were securely fastened and made ready.

1Jn 1:8-10
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is
not in us. If we confess our sins, He is trustworthy and righteous in
order that He might release the sins from us, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make Him a liar,
and His Word is not in us.

YaHuWaH
Lev_4:13
And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to
perform, even Ten Commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables
of stone.
It is a spiritual law for the spiritual man
How can you proclaim the sincerity of heart, when you walk against the
very commandment “To love ones neighbour” which is taught in the very
Book of Life
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is Breathed by YaHuWaH and is profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, that the
man of Aluahiym might be fitted, equipped for every good work.
Roms 15:4
For everything written of old was written for our instruction (Torah),
that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we
might have hope.
YaHuWaH says to you, “How long do you refuse to guard My
Commandments and My Instructions? Behold, because YaHuWaH has
given you the Sabbath
The Keeping of the Sabbath is a sign
Shemot 31:13
“Speak also to the children of Ysra'al, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall
guard my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout
your generations; that you may know that I AM YaHuWaH who sets you
apart.
Mark 2:27-28
He said to them, “The Shabbath was made for the sake of man, not man
for the sake of the Shabbath. Therefore the Son of Adam is Master even
of the Shabbath.”
Mat 19:16
And behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do that I may have eternal life? And he said to him, Why callest
thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt
enter into life,
Keep the Commandments.
He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness. Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.
The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth:
what lack I yet? Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven:
and come and follow me.
Ch_15:12
And they entered into a covenant to seek the YaHuWShuWaH
HaMaSHiYaCH of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
So that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my
covenant:
What right is our own righteousness, be it with all the good intentions of
the world, the love of YaHuWaH is beyond our understanding of HIS
LOVE

sA ymbolical epithet of the HaMaSHiYaCH and of Yahrushalom:
YaHuWShuWaH our righteousness.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
And if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father,
YaHuWShuWaH HaMaSHiYaCH the righteous:
1 Jn_3:4
Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the
transgression of the law.
Who is weak, and I am not weak?
Rom 7:1
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that
the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Modern Translation
Or are you ignorant, brothers and sisters (because I am speaking to
those who are knowledgeable in legal matters) that the law holds
dominion over a man only as long as he is alive?
Legal matters: or, the Torah (in particular).
Rom 7:14
For we know that the law is Ruwachual: but I am carnal, sold under sin
Rom 7:15
For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but
what I hate, that I do.
No matter how high our ideals, we are not equipped to live according to
the laws of a pure nature when we ourselves are corrupt.
Rom 7:16
If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.
I concur wholeheartedly, but the fallen nature renders me unable to
respond to this new upward pull because of the greater natural strength
of the evil inclination which, like a spiritual law of gravity, is also present.
The Torah's failure to justify us before YHWH lies not from any defect in
the teachings themselves, but in us who misuse them. (Berkowitz)
Praiseworthy: Aramaic, beautiful. Again, this is Paul’s root opinion about
the Torah, by which we must interpret all his other statements!
Rom 7:17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
/Inhabits dwelleth: Aram., dominates, as a slave master who can order
one to act against his better judgment. Enchained to Adam’s mutated
genetic makeup, our habits are still evil, but once we agree with YHWH’s
verdict and stop trying to justify ourselves, we receive a new option,
though the old is still with us until physical death frees us from it.
Rom 7:18
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for
to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find
not.
Nothing useful resides in me: Lamsa renders the Aramaic, “Yet I know
that it does not fully dominate me.” Present with me: near at hand, yet
still just out of reach—an excruciating source of frustration. (v. 24)
Aramaic, easy (simple) for me.
Rom 7:19
For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that
I do.
Rom 7:20
Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
The new nature remains entrapped by our bodies' remaining weakness,
but YHWH no longer counts this our truest self--see 8:1,2; He does not
recognize us as the ones living out our old tendencies, but lays the
blame on the slavemaster who gave the orders, as the higher-in-
command is considered the real war criminal, not the one forced to carry
them out.
Rom 7:21
I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Law: here, an operative principle, not a command, though using the
same term heightens the sense of tension between our natural
inclination and YHWH’s requirements. Stern renders it, “a kind of
perverse ‘torah’.” Nearer at hand: distracting me from what I really want
to pay attention to. It is our “nearer kinsman” that stands in the way of a
better one redeeming us.
(Ruth 3:12) “I find a Torah that unites with my mind, which desires to
do right.”
His Cloak of Righteousness I Seek
For in me there is no self-righteousness, but through his forgiveness,
that brings forth kindness: nothing I can do will save me, I reach out
BLIND stumbling in life towards HIS LIGHT
Rom 7:22
For I delight in the law of YaHuWaH, after the inward man:
Which I received of him,
Rom 7:23
But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my
mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my
members.
“law”, the same word used here for Torah. Mind: reason, capacity for
spiritual truth, higher powers of the soul to recognize the right and hate
the evil.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this
death?
What a miserable man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is
given over to [what only brings] death?
Miserable: wretched, troubled, afflicted. Rescue me: or, draw me to
Himself. Given over to: or sold into slavery to “this whole morbid
package of frustrating tendencies”!
Rom 7:25
I thank YaHuWaH, through YaHuWShuWaH HaMaSHiYaCH our
ALuaHiYM. So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of YaHuWaH;
but with the flesh the law of sin.
What was accomplished? The severance from the penalty in the Torah
for what our natural inclinations still tend toward. Serve: or submit to,
yield obediently to.
We must walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Ruwach.
Rom 8:2
For the law of the Ruwach of life, in YaHuWShuWaH HaMaSHiYaCH, hath
made me free from the law of sin and death.
Only the approach changes, as the law of aerodynamics prevails over,
but does not cancel, the law of gravity. (Bedell) We are empowered to
rise above our evil inclination while still living in a body subject to its
influence. (v. 11) Justice having been satisfied, we can again see
YaHuWaH's commands as an expression of His desire that life be the
best it can be in a fallen world, rather than something that condemns us.
They are solid ground to land on; their "teeth" are removed and they
become mainly instructive--our friends--once we are free from fear in
regard to whether we have observed them well enough.
A Ruwachual Torah for the Ruwachual man
That the righteousness of the law (Torah) may be fulfilled in us, who
walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Ruwach.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against YaHuWaH: for it is not subject
to the law of YaHuWaH, neither indeed can be.
Rom_6:6
But know this, that this old man is crucified with him, that the body of
sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Our old man: or humanity--the nature inherited from Adamah, with its
corrupted traits; the underlying “sin” that only results in “sins”, the
particular instances. Contrast with the “new man” of Eph. 2:15; 4:24;
Col. 3:10. Cease to operate as: or, that the body of sin might be
deprived of its effectiveness by disuse; Aramaic, be annulled. This is an
indirect answer to the charge that the Torah was being “done away
with”—the same word used in 3:31. This connection explains his logic in
the next two chapters that it is we, not the Torah, that are done away
with. Doing away with the sins is not enough; the sinner must be
executed, so the motivating factor itself changes, not just the actions,
though by the same token, the actions must change or there is no
evidence that the
Mat_18:21
Then came Kepha to him, and said, Master, how often shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mat 18:22
Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, until seven times: but, until
seventy times seven.
By that right I have no right to ask for forgiveness that in me is all that is
wrong, tears are the sadness of a forlorn soul,
Mat 18:23
Therefore the Reign of YaHuWaH is like a certain king, who wanted to
reconcile accounts with his servants. When he had begun to reconcile,
one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But
because he couldn’t pay, his sovereign commanded him to be sold, with
his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The
servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, ‘My Master,
have patience with me, and I shall repay you all!’ The sovereign of that
servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and released him
from the loan. “But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow
servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and
took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ “So his fellow
servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience
with me, and I shall repay you!’ He would not, but went and cast him
into prison, until he should pay back that which was due. So when his
fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and
came and told to their sovereign all that was done. Then his sovereign
called him in, and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I released you all
that debt, because you begged me. Shouldn’t you also have had mercy
on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’ His sovereign was
angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that
was due to him. So My shamayim Father shall also do to you, if you
don’t each release your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
If you acknowledge that He is righteous, you know that everyone who
practices righteousness is born of Him.
Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good
works, and praise your Father Who is in the shamayim.
Our works are the light that points others to Him.
Eph. 2:8-10
YaHuWaH saved you by His special favor when you believed. And you
can't take credit for this (belief); it is a gift from YaHuWaH. Deliverance
is not a reward for the good things we have done [works], so none of us
can boast about it.For we are YaHuWaH's workmanship/achievement. He
has created us anew in haMashiyach YaHuWSHuWaH, so that we can do
the good things He planned for us long ago.
Workmanship: the same word from which we derive the English word
“poem”. Founded: created, made habitable, or [completely] transformed.
With all the attention verses 8 and 9 have received, this verse that
immediately follows them puts it all into the right perspective, because
the fact that our own accomplishments (misguided as they had to be
because of our position as described earlier in the chapter) are not what
brought us into favor with YHWH does not mean we should not be
involved in noble works; on the contrary, noble works are by its very
nature what the Torah is made up of, and it is our guide. But the footing
He has put us on is much firmer, and if we follow the works that He
ordained long ago rather than what we imagined might be what He
would want, the result will be much greater effectiveness, no longer
missing the target but actually pleasing Him.
And our works must be based on the Torah:
Matt 5:17
Don’t think that I have come to loosen [unravel/misinterpret] the Torah
or the Neb'im. I didn’t come to loosen [unravel], but to fulfill [give the
correct interpretation - to bring them out in fulness].
I have come: a Hebrew idiom for “my purpose is”. To give them their
fullest meaning: as seen by the rest of this discourse, where He expands
on the common interpretations of His day to get to the heart of the
matter. "Fulfill" (or complete) was also a technical term used by rabbis to
describe a correct interpretation, which "established" it. He reveals what
YaHuWaH really intended by the commandments by setting forth specific
cases a common rabbinic method. In MattithYahuw He reiterates, alludes
to, and/or amplifies on every one of the ten commandments.
Matt 5:18
For most certainly, I tell you, until shamayim and earth pass away, [2
Kepha 3:11-12] not even one Yodh (י) or accent mark (taga) shall in any
way pass away from the Torah, until everything happens. [Debarim
30:11-20; Yasha 40: 12-25]
Yodh: the smallest Hebrew letter, but it is by no means insignificant.
Taga: a diacritic notation over some letters to add nuances of intonation.
Du Tillet Heb., one hook. Peshitta Aramaic, stroke. Shem-Tob Heb., not
one letter or dot...because all will be fulfilled. He has guaranteed that
they will come to pass, but not all have yet come to fulfillment yet.
matt 5:19
Whoever, therefore, shall loosen one of these least commandments, and
teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Reign of YaHuWaH; but
whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Reign of
YaHuWaH.
Teachers of others incur the stricter judgment. (Yaaqov/James 3:1)
Compare Deuteronomy 4:2.
The light that shines from us is in keeping his commandments
Matt 5:20
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes
and P'rushim, there is no way you shall enter into the reign of
shamayim!
LET NOT LAWLESSNESS BE PART OF YOUR LIFE
Beyond the Prushim: A shocking statement, because to most they
appeared to be the epitome of righteousness in their day. But He called
them lawless at heart
Matt 23:28
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Though they claimed to be keeping the Torah better than anyone
around them. You have to do better than they, He says. Their
interpretation is on faulty footing.
Matt 7:26-27
Everyone who hears these Words of mine, and does not do them shall
be like a heedless man, who built his house on the sand. The rain came
down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house;
and it fell—and great was its fall.”
He is setting the Torah back on its original foundation. Shem-Tob:
greater than the Prushim and the sages.
He who guards the command guards his life, He who despises His ways
dies
This is an unchanging and central message throughout Scripture:
Obedience to His commands (His voice) leads to life – disobedience
leads to death!

YaHuWaH, that our eyes may be opened. So YaHuWSCHuA had
compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their
eyes received sight, and they followed him.
