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)
[Yah -hoo-Wah]
is the Name of the Creator.
(Yâhuwshúa`) is His Son
[Al-u-heem - ALHYM] means "Mighty Ones“ or "Power"
means Set-apart, Pure.
(Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"
Ruwach (Raukh) is the Ibry (Hebrew) name for His "Presence", pictured as
the Counselor, Helper, and Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from the
Father"
Tehillim 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 Yâhuwshúa`. 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
Yâ-hwuah of Y’sra’al 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.
Tehillim. 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
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.
Eze 36:26;
And I will give you a renewed heart and I will put a renewed Raukh in your
innermost part, and I will remove the stony heart from your flesh, and give
you a heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27
“Then I will bestow My breath on your innermost part, and ordain that you
will walk within My prescribed limits, and you will guard My legal procedures
and carry them out.
Heart of flesh: i.e., one that is sensitive and pliable, not callous and all but
dead
Ya-hwuah is not deceived by man’s Sins
For such men are false apostles" deceitful workers" "disguising themselves as
apostles of Yâhuwshúa`" for even haSatan disguises himself as an minister of
light"
Tehillim 119:17
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are
righteousness.
Is he who keeps the commandments of Ya-hwuah, and have the testimony of
Yâhuwshúa` HaMâshíyach.
1 Qorinthíym 4:1
Thus, let man make account of us as subordinates of the Anointed One and
householder of the secrets of Yâ-huwah.
Then said he unto them, therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth
forth out of his treasure things new and old.
he literal meaning of the Greek word huperetes, translated "Subordinate," is
"under-oarsman." An under-oarsman was a slave on the lowest deck of the
ship who simply followed the cadence of the drummer. What does it mean to
be a Subordinate? It doesn't mean to set the course or determine direction,
but rather to simply do what the Captain of the ship, Yâhuwshúa`
HaMâshíyach , tells us to do, knowing that He will bring us to the right
destination.
It’s a matter of listening then doing, have we not 2 ears and 1 mouth,
therefore listening twice has much has speaking
Mat 13:52
And He said to them:
“Due to this understanding , every scribe having become a pupil for the
Kingdom of Yâ-huwah is similar to a man, a master of a house, who casts
forth from his treasure things new and old!”
Luwqá’ 12.42.
And the Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` said:
“Who, then, is the trustworthy and prudent house manager whose Sovereign
will set over the service of His household to supply the ration of grain during
the season [of His return]?
Luwqá’ 12.43.
Happy is that bondman whom His Sovereign, having come, will find doing
thus.
Luwqá’ 12.44.
Truly I say to you that He will set him over all His possessions!
The Sovereign of that bondman will come on a day that he does not
anticipate, and He will cut him in two, and He will appoint his allotment
among the unbelievers.
But there are many who creep in unaware…..
they too acted with shrewdness and, acting as if they were ambassadors , took
worn-out sacks on their donkeys, wine skins that were worn through, cracked
open, and tightened up,
Mat 23:28
Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity.
Yâhuwshúa` told a parable, in which he essentially said,
Luwqá’ 16:1-13
“There was a certain rich man who had a house-manager, and this one was
accused to him as having wasted his property .And having called him, he said
to him:“ What is this I hear about you? Render me the account of your
administration of the house, for you cannot be house-manager any longer
for me.” And the house-manager said within himself: “What shall I do,
because my sovereign is taking the administration of the house away from
me? I am not able to dig; and I am ashamed to beg! I know what I will do, in
order that when I shall have been removed from the administration of the
house, they may receive me into their houses!” And summoning each one of
the debtors of his sovereign, he said to the first: “How much do you owe to
my sovereign? And he said “A hundred battíym [`Ivríy liquid measure] of
olive oil.” And he said to him: “Take your bill, and sitting down, quickly
write, ‘fifty’.” Then he said to another: “And you, how much do you owe?”
And he said: “A hundred koríym [`Ivríy dry measure] of wheat.” And he says
to him: “Take your bill and write, ‘eighty’.” And the sovereign commended
the unrighteous house-manager, because he had performed cleverly. For the
sons of this age are craftier than the sons of the Light for their own
generation. So I say to you [sons of this age]: make friends [of the sons of
the Light] for yourselves from the fortune of unrighteousness, in order that
when it shall be absent, you may be received into the perpetual dwellings [of
the sons of the Light]. He who is trustworthy for the least thing is also
trustworthy for abundance. And he who is unrighteous in the least thing is
also unrighteous in abundance. Therefore if ye have not been trustworthy
with the unrighteous God ([`Ivríyth (Hebrew):] Fortune), Who will entrust
the Truth to you? And if you have not been trustworthy with the God
([`Ivríyth (Hebrew):] Fortune) of another, Who will give to you your own?
No house-servant is able to serve two sovereigns, for either he will hate the
one, and he will affectionately love the other, or he will cleave to one and he
will despise the other. Ye cannot bondserve Yâ-huwah and God ([`Ivríyth
(Hebrew):] Fortune)”
Luwqá’ 16:8
And the sovereign commended the unrighteous house-manager, because he
had performed cleverly. For the sons of this age are craftier than the sons of
the Light for their own generation.
The world is filled with financial planners and advisers; and it is good for
Believers to learn how to use their money wisely. But when most Believers
talk about wise money management, they forget to practice the most
important kind of long term investing: investing with an eye to eternity.
“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is
unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been
faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will
give you what is your own?”
Luwqá’ 16:9.
So I say to you [sons of this age]: make friends [of the sons of the Light] for
yourselves from the fortune of unrighteousness, in order that when it shall be
absent, you may be received into the perpetual dwellings [of the sons of the
Light].
Why does Yâhuwshúa` call it unrighteous mammon? Because “Riches
promise much, and perform nothing: they excite hope and confidence, and
deceive both: in making a man depend on them for happiness, they rob him
of the salvation of Ya-hwuah and of eternal glory.” (Clarke)
Luwqá’ 16:10.
He who is trustworthy for the least thing is also trustworthy for abundance.
And he who is unrighteous in the least thing is also unrighteous in
abundance.
Someone wrote
One Friday afternoon, a businessman staggered to the steps of his down town office. Before he died of the gunshot wound to his chest, he called out
the names of his three children. But he still had his $10,000 Rolex watch clutched in his hand. He was the victim of a rash of Rolex robberies - and was
killed as a sacrifice to his god.
If you are false and unfaithful in everyday life, even if you put on the image
of belief, you are also false and unfaithful in your Raukhual life - and no one
should entrust you with Raukhual riches.

Luwqá’ 16:12.
And if you have not been trustworthy with the God ([`Ivríyth (Hebrew):]

Luwqá’ 16:13.
No house-servant is able to serve two sovereigns, for either he will hate the
one, and he will affectionately love the other, or he will cleave to one and he
will despise the other. Ye cannot bondserve Yâ-huwah and God ([`Ivríyth

It was probably from this that he also drew his idiom about sending his
followers out like sheep in the midst of wolves
The Promise of the Father” fulfills with a sign
Deeds 1: 4 And during the accomplishing of the 50th day from First fruits, they were all at the same place unanimously, And unexpectedly a sound came from the
skies just like a rushing of a violent wind, and filled the entire dwelling where they were sitting. And there appeared to them divided tongues, as if of fire, and sat upon each one of them. And they were all filled of the Raukh of the
Pure One, and began to speak with other languages, just as the Raukh gave to them to pronounce clearly .And there were Yâhuwthím dwelling in
Yruwshâláim, reverent men from every nation that are under the heavens. But when the sound of this was generated, all the multitude gathered and
were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect!
Brings to mind a song
IT’S A NEW LIFE, IT’S A NEW SONG
Yâhuwshúa`’ point is clear.
You can’t fit His new life into the old forms.
This explains why Yâhuwshúa` did not begin a reform movement within
Judaism, working with the rabbinical schools and such. Yâhuwshúa` says, “I
haven’t come to patch up your old practices. I come with a whole new set of
clothes.”
And another
I DID IT MY WAY
And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says,
“The old is better”: Just because people are more comfortable with the old,
they assume that it is better. The epitaph on the tombstone of many a dead
church reads:
“We never did it that way before.”
( Raukh)
Luwqá’ 5: 38.
Instead, new wine is to be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved
together.
Luwqá’ 5: 39.
Also no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says:
REFLECTIONS
Think what privileges the men of that generation possessed, which had
Yâhuwshúa `himself for their preacher! He, who was himself the whole of the
covenant, to be the messenger, and administrator of it also! Well might the
people press upon him to hear the word of Ya-hwuah! Immediately after the
sermon was finished, he kindly rewarded the attendance of his Talmidim with
the supply of fishes. What a testimony at the same time of his being
Yâhuwshúa and proprietor, both of earth and sea. He let’s such a display of
thy sovereignty have the same effect on my heart, as on that of Kepha; not
to say depart from me, but to impress my mind as his was, that I may say,
Mat 9:17
Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins are
burst and the wine is spilled out, and the wineskins will be destroyed. Instead,
they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved together. Also
no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says:
‘The old wine is better!’”
Then the righteous1 shall shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
It is wonderful to see how fond men have been in All ages to substitute
anything, and everything, in the room of real godliness, and a change of
heart. Fasting and alms-giving, and services, however costly, shall be set up,
provided they may find pardon to the sins of nature. But all these are not
regeneration. It is the old nature still. It is still the old creature, only dressed
up in a new form: not transformed in the renewing of the heart. Yâhuwshúa`
makes use of two beautiful similitudes to shew the folly of it. The new cloth
put into the old garment; and the new wine into old bottles: neither of which
can receive into union what is altogether the reverse of themselves. The
strength of the new cloth will only tend to rend the old; and the old dried
skins of bottles must burst if new fermenting wine is put into them. In like
manner, the new robe of Yâhuwshúa`’ righteousness cannot be joined to
patch up our filthy rags: neither can the new wine of the Gospel be received
into the old unrenewed skin of nature. But when the Raukh HaQodesh hath
by regeneration made all things new, and Yâhuwshúa`’s righteousness is
received as the new robe of salvation; and the blood of Yâhuwshúa` as the
wine that maketh glad the heart of man; both then are preserved and blessed.
Ivríym 8:10.
declares Yâ-huwah: “For this is the covenant that I will cut with the house of
Yisrâ’Ä´l after those days –”declares Yâ-huwah,“ I shall put My Law in their
center, and on their hearts I shall write it, and I shall be to them for mighty
Ones, and they, they shall be to Me as a people:
This does not do away with the old covenant,
but fits within the frame work of
HIS CLOAK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Yirmeyahu 31:30
. “Indeed, the days are coming,” declares Ya-huwah, “when I will cut a
renewed covenant with the House of Y’isra’al and the House of Yahuwdah--
Yirmeyahu 31:31.
“not like the covenant that I cut with their ancestors in the day [when] I held
firmly to their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, since they
violated My covenant, though I fulfilled the role of a husband to them,”
declares Ya-hwuah,
Not like: in that “they violated it” (broke it in two, split or cracked it—as
Moshe did with the physical tablets on which Yâ-hwuah had written it, in
perfect symbolism of what they had done). The Aramaic interprets “violated”
as “changed”—the very thing the Northern Kingdom, after being exiled and
even after being introduced to Yâhuwshúa`, tried to claim Yâ-hwuah had
done! In all other ways, a renewed covenant must be as much like the original
as possible, with only minor adjustments to reflect a change that may have
taken place in the situation of one party or the other since the first was made.
Though I fulfilled…: LXX, and I disregarded them.
Yirmeyahu 31:32.
“Because this is the covenant that I will cut with the House of Y’Isra’al after
those days,” declares Ya-hwuah: “I will set My instruction in their innermost
parts, and on their heart I will write it, and I will come to be an Aluahiym for
them, and they will become a people for Me!
Or, I will put My Torah right in their midst [where they draw near]. This
does not mean we will obey like robots; something comes to be written on
our hearts by constant meditation on it and habitual rehearsing it in our
minds until it becomes second nature. “Write” can mean “engrave". What is
on our hearts is not easily forgotten
Tehillim 119:11
I have treasured up Your word in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
; it is certainly not something we can ignore and consider dead and gone!
When Yâhuwshúa` rules with a rod of iron
Tehillim. 2:9
Break them with a rod of iron, Dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
there will be no option but to learn His Torah.
Zkh. 14:18
Then the whole Land will be turned around like the Aravah, from Geva to
Rimmon south of Yerushalayim, and it will rise up, but remain lower than
what belongs to [the area] from the Gate of Binyamin to the site of the first
gate as far as the Gate of the Corners and the Tower of Hanan’Äl as far as the
king’s winepresses,
Turned around: possibly transformed (changed to become as green and
well-watered as this Yarden River Valley) or overturned, as indeed the Great
Rift Valley (the Aravah) was when Ya-hwuah destroyed S’dom and
Ghamorah.
Ber. 19:25-26
And He overturned those cities, and all of the plain, and all the inhabitants
of the cities, and the produce of the ground But his wife looked back from
behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Sadly This is the analogy of many, how few are the remnant
Rather than looking ahead to where she was going, she was more concerned
about what she had lost. She may have just wanted one last look at all she
had known. Her children may have been born there; maybe she had too.
But placing too much importance on the things we are used to can be
another form of idolatry; it was time to rise above the natural and seek the
best instead of the merely acceptable. There is a time to look down, to see
how far Ya-hwuah has brought us and be encouraged, but never with a
longing for what is not worth saving, for we have to stop to look back, and
then we make no progress.
The love of ones neighbours makes us reach out automatically
Ber. 19:27.
Now Avraham had risen up early in the morning [and gone] to the place
where he had stood there before Ya-hwuah.
During Shakharit prayers, we ask for the return of the exiles to the one
camp.
Yaaqov 5:16
Confess to one another your transgressions and pray for one another in the
manner that ye may be cured. A supplication of a righteous man exerts
much force!
for the messengers to drag him out.
Ber. 19:28.
And he gazed toward S'dom and Ghamorah, and toward the whole surface of
the land of the plain, and he saw it, for indeed, the smoke from the earth rose
like the smoke of a kiln.
Asphalt such as that which filled this valley (14:10) causes tar-filled smoke.
Compare Rev. 18, in which Babylon's sins also reach to Heaven, two witnesses
are sent, and the city's smoke goes up forever.
Ber. 19:29.
Thus when Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain, Aluahiym kept Avraham
in mind, and sent Lot out from the overthrow when overturning the cities in
which Lot had settled.
Aluahiym: the name emphasizing Yâ-hwuah’s judgment. He had some
mercy on the city where Lot lived because of Lot, but the other cities may
have been deserving of nothing but judgment.
Geva: a city in Benjamin, modern ‘Jeba’, which stands on the top of a steep
terraced hill, six miles or ten kilometers north east of Yerushalayim. Rimmon:
a town in the southern portion of Judah allotted to Shim’on. In other words,
the whole region surrounding and including Yerushalayim, but this particular
section of Yerushalayim will still be higher in altitude.
Compare
Micha 4:1
But at the last of the days it will turn out that the Mountain of the House of
Ya-hwuah will become [securely] established at the head of the mountains,
and it will be lifted up more than all the [other] hills, and peoples will flow
[up] onto it.
They will disobey the laws of gravity, flowing upward! Why are hills
mentioned, if he just said higher than the mountains? Wouldn’t it thereby
already be higher than the hills? By Yâhuwshúa`’s day, if someone said “hills”,
one would think of the rule of Rome, and one of the seven hills it was built
on is the Vatican, so this confirms that the Temple in Yerushalayim will take
precedence over it as well, despite its all-pervasive influence now. There may
be literal topographical changes as well, possibly precipitated by the same
forces that bring about the earthquake of
Z’kharyah 14:4.
When His feet have taken their stand on That Day atop the Mount of Olives,
which faces Yerushalayim from the east, then the Mount of Olives will split
down the middle from east to west [into] a very large valley, and half of the
mountain will move away toward the north, and half toward the south.
He leads a united Y’Isra’al back into the Land together in a raid to rescue the
remnant in the city and retake it as the first Y’hoshua did. When a present-
day hotel was being built for tourists on the Mount of Olives, it had to be
redesigned because a fault line was found running directly through the
initially-planned site.
Compare
Yeshayahu 40:4.
'Every valley will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill will be humbled.
The steep places will be made level, and the impasses broken through.
Steep places: Aram., “uneven ground”--also an allegory of the proud being
brought low and the humble exalted. Yochanan was one instance of the
Messenger Ya-hwuah sent before Yâhuwshúa`’s face (Mal. 3:1).
Immersion pictures dying to self, which clears the way for His Kingdom.
But there is a Raukh of Aliyahu that precedes Messiah’s second coming, and
its purpose and message are the same. The more we die to self, the more
quickly we can restore the original building materials and reopen the ancient
pathways by which the messengers of Aluahiym can ascend and descend.
Tower of Hanan’Äl: then located at the site of where the Fortress of Antonia
stood during the Roman occupation. Gate of the Corners: at the approximate
location of today’s Jaffa Gate. (Custance) Gate of Binyamin: close to the
Temple, the site where YirmeYahuw was held in stocks. (20:2) First (or
original) gate: possibly the Eastern Gate, the most direct route by which one
could enter the Temple, compared to the roundabout way in required once it
was sealed off—a reminder of the long, circuitous route by which we have to
come back to Yâ-hwuah’s presence after the direct way available in the
Garden of Eden was closed off to us.
YirmeYahuw 31:33.
“And each [one] will no longer teach his fellow [citizen] or [each] man his
brother, saying, ‘Get acquainted with Ya-hwuah!’ because they will all know
Me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares Ya-hwuah, “because I
will forgive their crookedness, and their missing -the-target I will never
remember again!”
Jdg_9:13
"But the vine said to them, 'Should I stop [producing] my new wine, which
gladdens Aluahiym and men, to go and hold sway over the trees?'
Gladdens Aluahiym: the Aramaic targum explains that this was through the
libations brought to Him at the Temple.
Tehillim 104:15;
And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make the face shine, And
bread which sustains man’s heart.
Yeshayahu 61:10.
I will rejoice in Ya-hwuah with a display of gladness! My whole self will be
exuberant in my Aluahiym, because He has arrayed me [with the] cloak of
safety; He has dressed me in the right clothes [for the occasion] as a
bridegroom is decorated in his splendid adornment, and as the bride puts on
her accessories,
Rejoice: literally, spin around with glee. This is the response of those whom
Ya-hwuah has so blessed (v. 9) after He has done so. It is like being at a
wedding. As a bridegroom officiates: Aramaic, like the bridegroom who
prospers in his canopy, and like the high priest who is prepared in his
garments. The Hebrew word for “decorated” is the root for Cohen (priest),
partly because “adornment” here generally means a turban, but what a priest
wore was dazzling compared to ordinary clothing. Cloak of safety: yesha’ in
Hebrew, which in modern Y’Isra’al is an acronym for Yahuwdah and
Shomron—regions representing both Kingdoms of Y’Isra’al. When the two
houses of Y’Isra’al are “of one cloth” again, that will be great cause for
exuberance.
Luwqá’ 5: 38-39
“Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins
burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new
wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Sipping New Wine
There are so many ways in which we Believers want to hang on to the old
wine and won't even try the new even in small things. Sometimes I suggest
open-eyed grace at a restaurant and my companions are shocked. They say,
"That's not the way we do it. We bow our heads." There's nothing in the
Scripture about closing our eyes to pray, but if that's our pattern we're
reluctant to change. We all have a choice when it comes to trying the new
wine, which is the way of the serving Ya-hwuah his way. We can be
predictable religious types or we can be radical like Yâhuwshúa` Himself,
associating with the wrong people, praying for the wrong miracles. We can be
radical saints filled with the Raukh of this radical Mâshíyach.
How can I explain the joy?
It is the joy of faith; and the joy of fellowship; in the joy of service, that
brings the joy of hope, of immortal blessedness the delight of doing good,;
Is it for us, with such a heritage in possession, and with such a prospect as this,
to comport ourselves as if we were fatherless, friendless, portion less? Is it for
us to go on our way homewards and heavenwards as if we were being
conveyed to prison or were going into exile? Not gloom but gladness, not
dreariness but delight, should be the prevailing note of our Believers life.
2Ti_2:20-21)
Though in a great house there aren’t only golden and silver vessels, rather
also wooden and earthen; and the former are for esteem, but these latter

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
