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"
Teh 27:5
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 YaHuWSCHuA. 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.
This Day Is Fast Approaching
A dire Warning is for Nätzräya/Watchmen today
Like a shofar: Yom T’ruah, the Day of the Alarm (awakening trumpet-
blast) lets us know that the Day of Coverings is fast approaching, and it
is high time to repent. Rebellion: or treason, not necessarily malice, but
thinking only of what is best for the individual, not the people as a whole
This is talking about us ( GB + USA) the very House of Ya’aqob
a nation that did righteousness
YashaYahuw 58:1
Cry aloud, don’t spare, lift up your voice like a shofar, and declare to My
people their disobedience, and to the House of Ya'aqob their sins .Yet
they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways: as a nation that did
righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their Aluahiym, they
ask of Me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to Aluahiym.
We are convicted for our sins
When our YaHuWSCHuA HaMaSHiYaCH, promised to send the
Comforter, He added, “When He is come, He shall convict;” for
conviction must prepare for comfort, and must also separate between
the precious and the vile, and mark out those to whom comfort doth not
belong. YaHuWaH had appointed this prophet to comfort His people here
He appoints him to convict them, and show them their sins
But the Redeemer, the Ruwach HaQadosh (Who IS YaHuWaH), Whom
the Father shall send in My Name, That-One shall teach you all things,
and shall remind you of all that I said to you.
The Wilderness is our home
The voice of one who calls out in the uninhabited land:
“Prepare the way of YaHuWaH! Make a level highway in the desert for
our Aluahiym.
YashaYahuw 59:1-2
Behold, YaHuWaH’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; neither His
ear heavy that it can’t hear: but your iniquities have separated
between you and your Aluahiym, and your sins have hidden His
face from you, so that He shall not hear.
[Two Witnesses of Rev. 11]
Rev 11:3
I shall give unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophecy one
thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” ....
Rev 12:6
The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by
YaHuWaH, to be nourished (enlightened/sustained) there one thousand
two hundred sixty days.
The woman (assembly) fled into the wilderness ( of people ?), where she
has a place prepared by Aluahiym, that there they may nourish/instruct
her (keep her alive) one thousand two hundred sixty days.
[These witnesses are given special protection and the Power of the
Ruwach during the 1260 days of their message as described below. .....
1 Kings 17:1-19; and 18
for an understanding of imminent events.
1 kings 17:1
EliYahuw the Tishbiy, who was of the foreigners (sojourners/resident
aliens) of Gil'ad, said to Ach'ab, “As YaHuWaH, the Aluahiym of Ysra'al,
lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years,
but according to my word.”
When it seems things can hardly get worse for the Northern Kingdom,
finally there is a change in the air! But it will not be pleasant at first; the
kingship's cup is full ,and it is time for chastisement to begin. Thishbite
(Heb., Thishbi) may refer to someone from a town east of the Yarden.
But Thishbi appears to be related to the word "sojourners" (thoshvey).
Without the vowel points, there is no difference in spelling, so it may be
intended simply to read, "Eliyahu of the sojourners". Gil'ad was not
actually part of Y’ISCHRa’AL proper, though it was given to Gad because
it was requested as a pastureland. So Eliyahu came to Akh'av from
outside the mainstream of the culture by this time, like his antitype
Yochanan the Immerser, who came out of the wilderness identifying
people as sinners in need of repentance. The events of took place
immediately before Eliyahu came on the public scene. Seeing this
prophecy fulfilled may have helped him find the confidence to go ahead
and dare to prophesy the message he had been given. His message was
in the structural form of an oath in Hebrew. Dew and rain were
suspended as YHWH had said they would be if Y’ISCHRa’AL refused to
obey Him.
1 kings 17:2
The Word of YaHuWaH came to him, saying,
1 kings 17:3
“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook
Keriyth, that is before the Yarden.
Brook keriyth: or, "cut-off river bed". a place conducive to concealment.
It is in Eliyahu’s home area of Gil'ad, near the ruins of the city of Pella
(now in Jordan). Here, followers of Yaaqov, YaHuWSCHuA brother, also
found refuge during the destruction of the Temple--another time of
YaHuWaH's severe correction on His people. Gil'ad was a place of great
sustenance, so the famine took longer to affect it.
1 kings 17:4
It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook. I have commanded the
ravens to feed you there.”
1 kings 17:5
So he went and did according to the Word of YaHuWaH; for he went and
lived by the brook Keriyth that is before the Yarden.
1 kings 17:6
The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and
flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
There is a problem here. What ravens brought would almost certainly
have been torn meat (not kosher). This would have been plentiful as
animals died from the famine. The rabbis say that it is more important to
preserve life than to keep every detail of Torah if straits are so dire. And
the only consequence is that he would be ritually impure if he did so,
and would have to wash himself and his clothing each time he did so. He
had the running brook there for that, but he would have been constantly
getting back into a state of uncleanness. He could not go to the Temple
at this time anyway. But unless this was meant to be a commentary on
the condition Y’ISCHRa’AL was in, YHWH's prophet would most likely
refuse to eat torn meat, especially since he was also given bread.
Ravens are very intelligent, as birds go. If they know someone is
obtaining food they have hidden, they will change their patterns rather
than repeating the same mistakes. The word for raven means "dark" or
"dusky". But with different vowel pointing, it is the same word as that for
"Arabs", who are also dark but not black. That term means "mixed". At
this very same site Arabs do serve kosher meat and delicious puffed
flatbread today, and the fact that they came twice per day suggests
strongly that these were not ravens at all, but Bedouin herdsmen coming
to water their flocks, and paying the man they perceived as guarding
their water source. From Pella, the Yezre'el Valley, which Hoshea linked
with Aloha’s scattering of the Northern Kingdom, can be seen across the
Yarden. The spirit of Eliyahu is that of the restoration of all things, and
Gil'ad will not be overtaken by the King of the North when he takes the
Holy Land .This may be prophetic of another harboring of those who
leave the Land for protection.
1 kings 17:7
It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no
rain in the land.
Even this spring dried up, because the aquifer was not being
replenished. It was at this time that the later-mighty city of Carthage
grew rapidly, as it was a colony founded by the Phoenicians, which
included both the kingdom of Tzor and Tzidon and Y’ISCHRa’AL.
Thousands of Y’ISCHRa’AL ites left the Land at this time and emigrated
there permanently. The original name of the city was Kiryath-Khadashah
("new town") in Hebrew, they decided that survival was more important
than staying in the place YHWH had given them and trying to discern the
reason YHWH was not sending rain, since He told us it would be plentiful
when we were pleasing to Him. There was no desire to repent. They
thought this was only a natural phenomenon, but a descendant of
Aharon, points out that the rain in Y’ISCHRa’AL is not regular like the
flooding patterns in Egypt; it is tied directly to Y’ISCHRa’AL prayers. The
Torah also ties it to our obedience, so when it ceases, it is no accident.
When trouble comes, it means YHWH wants our attention on something
particular, and we need to find out what it is and respond accordingly.
But their foreheads were stubborn like brass, so YHWH made the skies
brass and turned the rain into dust in response.
1 kings 17:8
The Word of YaHuWaH came to him, saying,
1 kings 17:9
“Arise, go to Tsarephath, which belongs to Tsiydown, and stay there.
Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
Tsarephath was a port between Tzidon and Tzor, and thus expected to
be a place of greater supply, but the famine had hit here too. But YHWH
was concerned for widows and orphans, as always, and He chose a
roundabout way to provide for them. In modern Hebrew, Tzarfath is the
name for France, which was also colonized by the Tzidon-ians and some
Y’ISCHRa’AL ites with them. There may be some prophetic significance
to this as well.
(Ovadyah 20)
The captives of this army of the children of Ysra'al, who are among the
Kena'aniy, will possess even to Tsarephath; and the captives of
Yahrushalom, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the South.
1 kings 17:10
So he arose and went to Tsarephath; and when he came to the gate of
the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to
her, and said, “Please get me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.”
He could tell she was a widow because widows wore some sort of
distinctive clothing, probably white. He used the same test Avraham's
servant did when seeking a wife for Yitzhaq, trying to make sure this
was the right widow. (Compare Yochanan 4) This woman did not
hesitate, but neither did she go the extra mile as Rivqah had; she had to
be taught the fullness of what hospitality is.
1 kings 17:11
As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, “Please bring me
a morsel of bread in your hand.”
Morsel of bread: what Avraham promised his guests, but actually
brought them much more. It is thus clear that he is trying to determine if
she is a daughter of Avraham. YaHuWSCHuA also told his envoys not to
take provisions, because those worthy to host them would prove it by
their willingness to feed them.
1 kings 17:12
She said, “As YaHuWaH your Aluahiym lives, I don’t have a cake, but a
handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the jar. Behold, I am
gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son,
that we may eat it, and die.”
She somehow recognized that he was a servant of YHWH. Was it simply
because she knew he was Y’ISCHRa’ALite by his appearance, or was she
told by YHWH that a prophet would be coming to her? She was quite
possibly an Y’ISCHRa’ALite’ herself, for already there was much
intermingling between Y’ISCHRa’AL and the Tzidonians, and a Tzidonian
husband might have moved her up there to get married. This seems to
be borne out in verse 18. A handful of flour and the same amount of oil
is what belongs to YHWH when Y’ISCHRa’AL ites bring a contribution to
the priests. But one part of the term for "handful" is melo, which is what
Efrayim and Menashe are called--the "fullness of the Gentiles" .Two
sticks: also a clear symbol of the two houses of Y’ISCHRa’AL She is
therefore a clear picture of us, who were also unaccustomed to the
hospitality our ancestors were known for because we were in the wrong
place. Her flour was not the refined kind, because until Eliyahu came to
her, she was out of the context of a community in which her potential to
be made into bread worthy of YHWH could not be realized. But when the
spirit of Eliyahu comes upon the Northern Kingdom, the bread of
remembrance can appear again. This is the Ruwach of the restoration of
all things that is YHWH's great move in our time.
1 kings 17:13
EliYahuw said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but
make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward
make some for you and for your son.
1 kings 17:14
For thus says YaHuWaH, the Aluahiym of Ysra'al, ‘The jar of meal shall
not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that YaHuWaH
sends rain on the earth.’”
This would be like the manna, which YHWH kept bringing until a natural
supply was available. (Y'hosh. 5:12)
1 kings 17:15
She went and did according to the saying of EliYahuw: and she, and he,
and her house, ate many days.
Once she stopped making excuses and walked in the promise while there
was still no bread to the natural eye, the provision came. She had to
give up her security to sustain YHWH's servant first, just as ideally our
first fruits are to sustain the officiators in His sanctuary before we
partake of our increase. There was no Temple accessible to her, as it is
not available to us either, but YHWH offers us parallel occasions to seek
first His Kingdom instead of seeking what we will eat, as the Gentiles do-
-and when we do, He provides for us as He promised.
1 kings 17:16
The jar of meal didn’t empty, neither did the jar of oil fail, according to
the Word of YaHuWaH, which He spoke by EliYahuw.
Now her oil was increased, and every meal could be a "grain offering" by
giving some to the prophet first. But his oil was also being increased as
he saw YHWH's miraculous works, for he had bigger tests to come which
would require all the confidence in YHWH that he could muster.
1 kings 17:17
It happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress
of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no
breath left in him.
1 kings 17:18
She said to EliYahuw, “What have I to do with you, you man of
Aluahiym? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill
my son!”
My sin: possibly the act of marrying a Tzidonian The dying son had been
the fruit of that sin.
1 kings 17:19
He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and
carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own
bed.
upper room, loft. This was a common way to house guests, or simply a
place for the family to stay cooler when sleeping in the summer. Since
the lower level of the house is where some animals were kept and would
be much hotter from the cooking that went on there, the rooftop
chamber would be the best room in the house. So she has caught on to
the hospitality that Eliyahu had to initially coax out of her. She thus
proved to be a true Y’ISCHRa’ALite. With a dead boy on it, his bed would
be defiled and he and everything in his room would be ritually unclean
for seven days. But YHWH would even take care of this problem.
Yehezqel 2: 8
But you, son of Adam, hear what I tell you; don’t be rebellious like that
rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.
Yehezqel 2:9
When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll
of a book was therein;
Yehezqel 2:10
He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and
there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. {the
"sackcloth message of lamentations, mourning and woe" –
"woe’s"?
Yechezqe'l 3:14
So the Ruwach lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in
bitterness, in the heat of my Ruwach; and the Hand of YaHuWaH was
strong on me. ....
Rev. 10:9-10,
where Yochanan also eats a scroll and it is bitter in his belly after being
sweet in his mouth. Yonah was bitter when he saw the Assyrians
repenting in a way Y’ISCHRa’AL was not repenting. Likewise, after seeing
this vision of what is to be and what Y’ISCHRa’AL could be like, Y’hezq’el
had the present state of his people to deal with, in sharp contrast with it.
He may have known that it would not be fulfilled in his own lifetime.
1 Cor. 10:11
Yechezqe'l 3:17
Son of Adam, I have made you a watchman to the House of Ysra'al:
therefore hear the Word from My mouth, and give them warning from
Me.
Watchman: literally, one who is on the lookout?
Yechezqe'l 3:18
When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him no
warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his
life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I
require at your hand.
YaHuWSCHuA echoed that the one who does not know he is doing
wrong will be less accountable than those who knew better, and would
receive a lighter punishment. (Luke 12:48)
Yechezqe'l 3:19
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness,
nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have
delivered your being. ...
[all of chapters of Yehez. 2 & 3 are for us today]
YermiYahuw 6:26
Daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in
ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the
destroyer shall suddenly come on us.
Burlap (sackcloth) and ashes are signs of deep mourning. Only child: or,
idiomatically, a favorite. The term was used of Yitzhaq. (Gen. 22:2)
When Yahuwdah sees YaHuWSHuWaH returning, they will mourn for
Him as for an only child. (Zech. 12:10)
The Two Witnesses?
YHWH people and YHWH Law are inseparable.
If YHWH people did not keep the Law, then they must be
subject to the judgments warned of in that Law.
Mal'akiy 4:4
“Remember the Torah of Moshah My servant, which I commanded to
him in Choreb for all Ysra'al, even statutes and ordinances.
The law is referred to here, not according to its accidental and
temporary form, but according to its essential character, as expressive of
the holiness of YHWH, just as [it is] in Matthew Mal_3:17. In this light, it
is eternally the same in the eyes of YHWH and not one jot or tittle of it
can pass away.
Mal'akiy 4:5
Behold, I will send you Ali'Yahuw the prophet before the great and
terrifying Day of YaHuWaH comes.
Mala'kiy 3:1
“Behold, I send My Messenger, and he will clear the way before Me; and
the Master, Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His Hekal; and the
Messenger of the Covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He comes!” says
YaHuWaH of Armies.
Mal'akiy 4:6
He will turn many back to YaHuWaH the Father and the disobedient to
the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for YaHuWaH.”
Crooked ways…caused His face to be concealed:
How can we see Him if we are not in a direct line with where He is?
This is a direct answer to 58:3.
Prov 28:9
YaHuWaH is far from the wicked,but he hears the prayer of the
righteous.
He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah,
Even his prayer is an abomination.”
Who are the set apart in YaHuWaH
Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways: as a nation
that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their
Aluahiym, they ask of Me righteous judgments; they delight to
draw near to Aluahiym.
Being righteous is includes obedience
YashaYahuw 58:3 ‘
Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and You don’t see? why have we
afflicted our being, and You take no knowledge?’ „Behold, in the day of
your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your laborers.
YashaYahuw 58:4
Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of
wickedness: you don’t fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard
on high.
YashaYahuw 58:5
Is this the fast that I have chosen? Isn't it the day for a man to afflict his
being? Isn't it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth
and ashes under him? Shall you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to
YaHuWaH? (Yom Kippur)
YashaYahuw 58:6
“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and
that you break every yoke?
Yom Kippur is a day to repent (turn around 180 degrees) and break the
bonds of sin in our lives, and then to bring the same freedom to others.
"Yoke" comes from the word for "wavering", and we want to end this as
well. Yom Kippur is called the day of the closing of the gates, and it is a
time to make choices and build walls between ourselves and the
alternatives so that we will put our hand to the plow and not look back.
YashaYahuw 58:7
Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry and that you bring the
poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you
cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
YashaYahuw 58:8
Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall
spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the
esteem of YaHuWaH shall be your rear guard. Then: and not until then.
YashaYahuw 58:9
Then you shall call, and YaHuWaH shall answer; you shall cry, and He
shall say, ‘Here I AM.’ “If you take away from the midst of you the yoke,
the finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
YashaYahuw 58:10
and if you draw out your being to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted
being: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the
noonday;
His Torah and His festivals.
Afflicted: or humbled, depressed. This is how a strong community--the
bride of YaHuWaH--is formed. Each of us is hungry in one way or
another, and He has put in each congregation those capable of meeting
each other's needs. Taking care of one another is what He is trying to
teach us through His Torah and His festivals.
YashaYahuw 58:11
and YaHuWaH shall guide you continually, and satisfy your being in dry
places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered
garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don’t fail.
Invigorate your bones: brace them up, make them strong, "arm" them.
This holds a clear connection to Yom Kippur as a "day of bones"
Lev. 23:30
and the bones of Yoseyf that assemble into a mighty army
Y’hezq’el 37
Drought: or “a scorched region”, perhaps when all of Ysra'al is
regathered in the desert near Mount Sinai.
YashaYahuw 58:1
YashaYahuw 58:2
Then some of those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be
called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Paths to Dwell In.
Ancient ruins: or wasted places, not only physically, but also ancient
ways of interpreting and navigating our way through the Torah. Closes
up the breach: in a wall, hedging it about or enclosing the city, so that
there can be set-apartness again, and the unclean cannot freely trample
His courts with no price to pay for doing so. This is the task of the house
of Yoseph, the northern kingdom that is being recalled in this day to our
previously-unknown heritage of "the ancient paths".
Micha 7:18-20;
YirmeYahuw 6:16
Sue in righteousness, plead in truth
YashaYahuw 58:13
“If you turn away your foot from the Shabbath, from doing your
pleasure on My Qodesh day; and call the Shabbath a delight, and the
Qodesh of YaHuWaH esteem-able; and shall esteem it, not doing your
own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words
[uttering a word of indignation from your mouth]:
YashaYahuw 58:14
then you shall delight yourself in YaHuWaH; and I shall make you to
ride on the high places of the Land; and I shall feed you with the
heritage of Ya'aqob your father:” for the mouth of YaHuWaH has spoken
it.
This provides a link to Tehillim 81, which was written most particularly
for the season of repentance prior to Yom Kippur.
YashaYahuw 59:1
Behold, YaHuWaH’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; neither His
ear heavy that it can’t hear:
YashaYahuw 59:2
but your iniquities have separated between you and your Aluahiym, and
your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He shall not hear.
YashaYahuw 59:3
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
YashaYahuw 59:4
None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in
vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
YashaYahuw 59:5
They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he who eats of
their eggs dies; but the viper that hatches is what shall be crushed
(Genesis 3:15).
YashaYahuw 59:6
Their webs shall not become garments; neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the
act of violence (hamas) is in their hands.
YashaYahuw 59:7
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their
thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their
paths.
YashaYahuw 59:8
The way of shalom they don’t know; and there is no justice in their
goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does
not know shalom.
YashaYahuw 59:9
Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us:
we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in
obscurity.
Many use the excuse that they do not wish to judge lest judgment also
be turned back on them. (Mat. 7:1ff) But we are meant to judge both
ourselves and others, because no one, especially the community as a
whole, needs either the plank or the speck of dust in one’s eyes.
Because we avoid this, we are the blind leading the blind…
YashaYahuw 59:10
We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have
no eyes: [Grope: trusting what one feels. Ninety percent of the time this
is wrong!] we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; in desolate places
like dead men.
YashaYahuw 59:11
We all roar like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but
there is none; for deliverance, but it is far off from us.
YashaYahuw 59:12
For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify
against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities,
we know them:
YashaYahuw 59:13
Transgressing and denying YaHuWaH, and turning away from following
our Aluahiym, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering
from the heart words of falsehood.
YashaYahuw 59:14
Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for
Truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
YashaYahuw 59:15
Yes, Truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a
prey. YaHuWaH notices, and it grieves Him that there was no justice.
YashaYahuw 59:16
He saw that there was no man, and was appalled that there was no
intercessor: therefore His own Arm brought deliverance [Yahuw-shua / I
AM HE (who) delivers] for Him; and His righteousness, it upheld Him.
YashaYahuw 59:17
He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance
(YaHuWSCHuA) on His head; and He put on garments of vengeance for
clothing, and will wrap Himself in ardent jealousy as a cloak
(Yahuwchanan 2:17). [cf. Eph. 6 - the whole armor of Aluahiym]
YashaYahuw 59:18
According to their deeds, accordingly He shall repay, burning rage to
those who cramp Him, recompense to His enemies; He shall repay the
dealings of the coastlands.
YashaYahuw 59:19
So shall they fear haShem of YaHuWaH from the west, and His esteem
from the rising of the sun; for when the enemy shall come like a flood,
the Ruach haKadosh of YaHuWaH shall lift up a standard against him to
humble him.
(Rev. 12:15)
Flood: Aramaic, the overflowing of the Ferath [Euphrates] River. Wind:
or ruwach; Aramaic, by the Memra [living Word] of YaHuWaH they will
be plundered.
YashaYahuw 59:20
“A Kinsman Redeemer shall come to Tsiyown, and to those who turn
from disobedience in Ya'aqob,” says YaHuWaH.
(Paul quoted this in Rom. 11:26, in the context of the blindness that
would come over Ysra'al until the fullness of the gentiles—the House of
Ephrayim, according to Gen. 48:19—comes back in. YaHuWSHuWaH is
indeed a Kinsman Redeemer, who accomplished this redemption at
Tsiyon. But in order to be redeemed, we must turn away from the way
of our ancestors who rebelled and left the covenant.)
YashaYahuw 59:21
“As for me, this is My Covenant with them,” says YaHuWaH. “My
Ruwach Who is on you, and My Word [Torah/YaHuWSHuWaH] which I
have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of
the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed,” says
YaHuWaH, “from henceforth and into the Age and beyond.”
My words: the Torah, which is to be continually in our mouths
(Ex. 13:9; Deut. 30:14; Yahuwshua 1:8).

Be not blind to the truth
And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that
YaHuWSCHuA passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O YaHuWaH,
[thou] Ben David. An YaHuWSCHuA stood still, and called them, and said,
what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him, 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.

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 Ruwach (spiritual work): what a scandal is
it for a man to traffic with gifts which he pretends, at least, to have received
from the Ruwach 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
