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 (Spirit) 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
YaHuWaH of Y’Isra’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 Light.”
The menorah is the only symbol created by YâHuWsHúa`

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.

Before the study I wish to point out that only the WORD is the TRUTH, be it
days, months, years, hence the calendar is “sola Scriptura” based.
Dan_7:25
And it shall speak words opposing the Most High, and it will wear down
the pure ones of the Most High Ones, and it will try to change set times
(Festivals) and Law, (Lawlessness) and they shall be granted into its hand for a
time and times and half of a time.
And then I will profess to them,
‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are on My lap and do not do the will
of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My lap will I cast you away! Depart
from Me, all ye workers of Lawlessness!’
So that in them is fulfilled the prediction of Yshá`Yâhuw, which says: “You shall
surely hear, but you shall not understand; and you shall surely see, but you
shall not perceive! For the heart of this people has grown thick, and they do
hardly hear with the ears, and they have shut their eyes, lest they should see
with their eyes, and with their ears they should hear, and their heart should
understand, and they should return to Me and I should cure them.
The Hebrew Bible is fully aware of that. Deuteronomy declares the worship of
sun, moon, and stars as allotted by YHWH that is to all the other peoples
Dev 4:19.
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto Shomayim, and when thou seest the shemesh, and the yarei'ach, and the kokhavim, even all the tz’va HaShomayim,
shouldest be driven to hishtachaveh (bow down, worship) them, and serve them which Hashem Aloheicha hath divided unto kol HaGoyim under kol
HaShomayim.
Duet 4:19
"or lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and see the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the armies of heaven, you should be impelled to bow down to
them or enslave yourselves to these [things] that YHWH has apportioned to all the nations under the whole heaven;
Anyone can see the heavenly bodies, but we have heard from YHWH. There is no “hard copy” of Him! People want something they can identify with, which
is what makes the “god-man” concept so attractive, because it makes them think they can be gods too. We can only understand what YHWH allows us to
know about Himself, and we cannot control what we cannot comprehend. Apportioned: divided, assigned, distributed; Aramaic, "designated to serve". I.e., He gave them to all the nations and they are common (contrast v. 20).
But none of them is to be identified specifically with YHWH.
Dev 4:20 But Hashem hath taken you, and brought you forth
out of the iron furnace, even out of Mitzrayim, to be unto Him an Am Nachalah (a people of inheritance), as ye are yom hazeh.
Deut 4:20. "But YHWH has selected you, and brought you out from the crucible of iron--
from Egypt--to become His own--for the purpose of being a people [that are His own] prized possession, just as [is the case] today."
Any wood placed into a furnace for smelting iron would be consumed
immediately. Egypt completely used them up, while feeding them—like pack animals. Even the products forged of iron there—chariots—were used to kill
them. Now they were going to a place that would serve them rather than consuming them. Nothing in the Tabernacle was made of iron; YHWH had no use for it at this point. Prized possession: How awesome! Why throw away such a rare privilege and settle for something that the nations all stoop to--
nations that He considered a mere drop in the bucket in comparison
Yeshayah40:15?
Surely the Goyim are like a drop in a bucket, and are accounted as dust of the scales; surely He taketh up the iyim (islands) like fine dust.
Isa 40:15
See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust.
Today we see the illegitimate worship of these celestial bodies , within those who claim to WORSHIP YHWH
How many more times will Y’Isra’al turned to
HIS CREATION and not their CREATOR
Melachim Bais 23:5, |5| And he did away with hakemarim (the idol priests), whom the Melachim of
Yehudah had ordained to burn ketoret in the high places in the towns of Yehudah, and in the places around Yerushalayim; them also that
burned ketoret unto Ba'al, to the shemesh, and to the yarei'ach, and to the mazalot (constellations) and to all the Tzeva HaShomayim.
2 kgs 23:5
And he put down the black-robed priests whom the sovereigns of Yehudah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Yehudah and in
the places all around Yerushalayim, and those who burned incense to Baʽal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of the
heavens
Melachim Bais 23:11 And he took away the susim that the Melachim of Yehudah had dedicated to the shemesh, at the entrance of the Beis Hashem, by the chamber of Natan-
Melech the saris, which was in the colonnades, and set eish to merkevot hashemesh.
2 Ki 23:11
And he did away with the horses that the sovereigns of Yehudah had given to the sun, at the entrance to the House of YHWH, by the room of Nathan-Melek the eunuch, that were in the court. And he burned the chariots of the sun with
fire.
Yirmeyah 8:2 And they shall spread them out before the shemesh, and the yarei'ach, and all the tz'va haShomayim, whom they have loved, and whom they have served,
and after whom they have walked, and whom they have consulted, and whom they have worshiped; they shall not be gathered up, nor be buried in a kever;
they shall be like domen upon the surface of ha'adamah.
Jer 8:2; and shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of the
heavens, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought, and to which they have bowed
themselves. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
And He brought me into the khatzer Beis Hashem hapenimit [i.e., the Court of the Kohanim], and, hinnei, at the petach (entrance) of the Heikhal Hashem, between the Ulam and the Mizbe'ach, were about five and twenty ish, with
their backs toward the Heikhal Hashem, and their faces toward the east; and they bowing down toward the east worshiping the sun.
Ezek 8:16 And He brought me into the inner court of the House of YHWH. And there, at the door of the Hĕkal of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the Hĕkal of YHWH and their faces
toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the sun.
Yet in the creation story these celestial elements are simply taken as creatures like any others
Whatever importance man may give to the various nations, it is evident that YHWH, in His program for this earth, has primarily but one nation before His eyes. Gathered about Y’Ishra’al are all the eternal purposes of YHWH for this earth, and other nations are recognized and considered in the Book of YHWH
only as they are related to the one-nation Y’Ishra’al. The Assembly, on the other hand, is heavenly. Her people are said to be “strangers and pilgrims in
the earth,” “ambassadors” in the enemy’s land, “citizens of heaven,” and heaven is their home. The nation Y’Ishra’al occupies five-sixths of the SCripture.
This is certainly a great emphasis upon one subject and no one can expect to understand YHWH’s Book who is not prepared to give Y’Ishra’al the important place assigned to her of YHWH,— past, present, and future. It is an unworthy judgment and most misleading to suppose that, because this earthly people is
now scattered, peeled and afflicted, she has been abandoned of YHWH, or that her earthly covenants have been transferred to the Assembly.
This nation is to abide for all time and she is to possess her own land for ever
Ber 13:15;
For all the EARTH which you see I shall give to you and your SEED forever.
Aluahiym compensated for his selflessness with a far richer promise. But for the first time Avram had also completely fulfilled the commandment to leave
his native people today, however, his descendants who live in the Land are not considering it valuable enough to hold onto it all.
Ber 12:1
And יהוה said to Abram, “Go yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land which I show you.
Proceed for yourself: or, “Get yourself walking (away)”. Avram had come the first leg on his father's terms. What motivated Tenákh to leave Ur? It appears
that it was because Sarai had no child. Was he trying to get to the land of Kanaan because the Kanaanites’ Aluahiym were so heavily connected with fertility? Or because the fruits of the Land of Kanaan would help with this problem (either just because of generally-better nutrition or, for example,
because the pomegranate helps balance estrogen and progesterone levels)? They brought Lot, who had lost his father; it appears Avram had adopted him and that he was their only hope for continuance at this point. In any case, he had gone as far as his father was willing or able to take him. He had followed the authority he already had—the first place to begin our walk with YHWH,
because if we do not know where we came from, we do not know who we are, and therefore cannot know where we are supposed to go. He could not go
further until he exhausted all he could learn there—as we have had to do with Christianity and Judaism. But it was clearly still not enough. So now he is
called to act on his own and totally leave familiar territory. This flies in the face of logic, which says the safest course is to remain with those you were born to, so it is likely that this voice he heard came from somewhere other than his own
head. But the point is not how YHWH spoke, but that Avram was able to perceive the instruction. We do not know for sure when he started inclining his ear to YHWH, but it is inclined, and YHWH sees in him something that he wants
to use. Âthâ´m and Chauwâ´h failed, so He did not start this new creation in the same way; he started with people who were more mature. He does not
know what is on the other side. But if he does not take the risk and go, he will never find out. It is the Gentiles who always want to know what is around the corner; the way of the Hebrew is to go and find out when he gets there. Yes, some preparations are necessary—take your walking shoes, staff, and some
water. But there is no way to find out what the Sabbath, or dwelling in a sukkah, is like until you do it. Avram was not told yet what to walk toward. But
he was told what to leave behind. Your land: This is the easiest step; it is common for people to move from one physical place to another. Native
culture: the term includes everything into which he was born—natural family, the deities they worshipped, the circumstances into which he was born, and
everything he has in common with those who remain there. Unlike those who move from China but start a Chinatown where they go, he is to leave behind
everything that defined him, and let YHWH make him into somebody else. Yet he had already left Ur, a center for sun-worship, long ago. In doing so, his
route had to take him through Bavel, so he could leave its ways behind as well. Many of our traditions, like crosses, steeples, Christmas trees, and a trinity
were pagan ideas that started all the way back with Nimrod and came down to Christianity through Mithraism, which worshipped the sun, hence Sunday.
Until we confess that our fathers have inherited lies and that we have perpetuated them, and kill off the idolatry latent within ourselves, we cannot
say they are just a thing of the past. But now Haran has been his home for some time. His father had stopped short of his original goal and built a life here. He not only settled in Haran; he settled for Haran, when he had been intending to go further. Haran, bearing the same name as his deceased son,
may have seemed enough like home to Tenákh. So his journey stopped, and so did Avram’s, until YHWH called. Haran means “crossroads”, a place of choices. Haran was attached to the moon god Sin, which is the root of Islam (hence the crescent symbol), though most Muslims do not realize this. So he could choose
one of today’s most prevalent religions. Both acknowledge Avram as significant, yet neither brought him far enough. Avram had come to the point
where he could no longer worship created things. Sun and moon are not things to worship, but servants of the true Most High. Though we may have left
behind “the world” and come to the Messiah under our parents’ influence (or that of pastors or other mentors), we cannot rely on them forever. Our
teachers can only take us so far; we can go still further. There is still a land of promise to enter. Each of the temporary "holding tanks" where we assemble in
each location before returning all the way home is called an "ekklesia", the Greek word for "called-out". The focus has to be on preparing to leave, not on becoming a part of where we are still located. If Avram had stayed behind in
order to "be a light" to those around him who would now have no light, when he had YHWH’s command to move on, he would be compromising, and would prove he did not really believe the very message he was to bring to them. We
have to be more defined by where we are going than where we came from. One cannot go anywhere without leaving something else behind, but the purpose is what we are walking toward, not what we are leaving. We are
Hebrews—a descendant of the man who belongs to the other side and crosses over. He is called to a place YHWH will show him—literally “make him see”, or perceive. The phrase can also be rendered “where I can make you see”. It is a
place where he can get in the context to be able to perceive the truth about YHWH. He is not limited to that Land, but He does consider it especially His.
But how can it be, if it is in the land of Kanaan, the pervert? Because it was also the place of the tents of Shem, whom Kanaan was ordered to serve. Noakh had made Shem priest and therefore teacher. So YHWH wants Avram there not because it flows with milk and honey, but because there was a “King of
Righteousness” there who could teach him the ways of the Most High. His path is to prepare Avram to live there with Him. It was also a place where he could
be a shepherd, a job in which he could have the uncluttered time to find silence in which he could truly focus on the real questions and find the answers he
needed, so he could truly have something worthwhile to leave to his children and also pass on to others:
Ber 17:6
And I shall make you bear fruit exceedingly, and make nations of you, and
sovereigns shall come from you.
Ber 17:7
And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you
in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be Aluahiym to you and
your seed after you.
Perpetual/ everlasting: i.e., forever. It is foolish to think it could be nullified if
He said this. As long as we will walk in it, it will not pass away; He will do exactly
what He said He would.
Ber 17:8
And I shall give to you and your seed after you the land of your sojourning’s, all
the land of Kena῾an, as an everlasting possession. And I shall be their
Aluahiym.”
And your descendants (Seed): The promise must already be seen communally;
it is not just for Avraham alone. And it is tied to a particular Land. YHWH has
worked in many places, but this one is the apple of His eye. He has not forsaken
this and made a "new Y’Ishra’al" somewhere else. His descendants are
scattered, but that place is our home. If we want the Land back, we must walk
in this covenant to get there. Possession: from the root, "to seize", thus, a "a
constant seizing" rather than a fringe benefit. He will underwrite it and make
sure the result is favorable, but we have to act. Also, "the price of liberty is
eternal vigilance"; many enemies wish to take away our prize. But the "land"
can also represent all the aspects of our lives that need to be brought under His
control. Like a company buyout, we are now working for a different master. As
the citizens of Babylon awoke one morning under Medo-Persian control
without their having been a battle, and thus had to be educated to the fact that
they were now citizens of a different empire though still in the same place, we
too have been "bought with a price", but need to "take every thought captive
to the obedience of Maschiyach."
2 Qorinthians 10:5
Overthrowing reasoning’s and every elevated pride that exalts itself up against
the acknowledgment of YHWH, and leading every thought captive unto the
obedience of the Anointed One.
It was also predicted that this nation should three times be dispossessed of her
land and three times be restored to the land
Ber 15:13
And He said to Abram, “Know for certain that your seed are to be sojourners in
a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four
hundred years.
Not that they'd be enslaved for the full 400 years; rather, his seed (those not
yet born) would be without a land of their own for that long. Even while in the
Land of Y’Ishra’al they would still be sojourners. They would actually be
enslaved fewer than 83 years, because Aharon, 3 years older than Moshe, did
not have to be protected as Moshe was, and Moshe returned at age 80 to
deliver them. They were delivered from slavery 430 years later (to the day,; the
Torah was given just 7 weeks later). It also foreshadows the exile of Avraham's
Spirit (Raukh ual children in the present age what sort of promise is this?
Kanaan, not Shem, is supposed to be the one enslaved. But this bondage is part
of His plan, so that we can see who is really in control. Part of the reason for
the Sabbath is to recall this time of slavery, so we can again disengage from the
idea that we are the ones in control. Entering this new covenant seems dark
and scary. Much more is at stake than the responsibility we feel upon signing a
mortgage. But again, He says in so many words, "Do not be afraid; it will be
worth it if you hang on long enough":
Ber 15:14;
But the nation whom they serve I am going to judge, and afterward let them
come out with great possessions.
I will judge: Not just Egypt or Babylon/Assyria, but anyone who is served in any
capacity by Y’Ishra’al, will have certain expectations placed upon them by
YHWH.
Ber 15:16;
Then, in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the crookedness of
the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Fourth generation: from the time they entered Egypt (Yaa’qov’s day); Moshe
was Yaa’qov’s great-grandson, and in the generation of his own son, he led
them out. (Iniquity of the Amorites: When Aluahiym knows a nation's sins have
reached the point of irreversibility, His grace period ends, and He sends
another nation to judge them and take their place (but not before. He is not yet
justified in killing them off. The name Amorites comes from the word for "to
speak". Filled up: shalowm (complete), related to the word "shalom". Likewise,
the Messiah, like the Flood, will come "when what is being said is fully
perverted". With our actions and attitudes, we fill up our cups, and when the
"last straw" makes them spill over the top, YHWH decides to deal with it, for
better or for worse. We might have thought we were getting away with wrong,
but now there will be a price to pay. Taking Avram's descendants out of the
Land allowed it to reach that state, so that YHWH could with complete justice
dispossess them. There also had to be enough righteousness in His people to
be able to take the Land without ourselves bringing defilement to it afresh.
Yirmeyahu 25:11
And all this land shall be a ruin and a waste, and these nations shall serve the
sovereign of Babel seventy years.
Dani’al took this quite literally, and when he saw that the set time was
approaching, he began to take steps to prepare for the restoration of the
Y’Ishra’alite heart so that the Land could be resettled. The very same task is
before us today, as our exile is also calculated to be over after not seventy but
2,730 years of not being a people. It would not “just happen” automatically or
magically, nor will it this time either. We have to turn our hearts toward
bringing it about while again asking YHWH to do His part as He promised. 2
Chronicles 36:21 explains that these 70 years were overdue to YHWH because
for 490 years no one had let the land rest on the seventh year as YHWH had
commanded. The only cause for this could be lack of faith, which in itself is
idolatry. 490 years prior to this extended to the time the monarchy began, or a
few years prior to it. This means that none of the kings of Yehudah or the
United Kingdom had ever enforced this law!
Yirmeyahu 25:12;
And it shall be, when seventy years are completed, that I shall punish the
sovereign of Babel and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their
crookedness,’ declares יהוה, ‘and shall make it everlasting ruins.
Bring punishment: or call to accountability, because of the way they acted
toward His people, even while He was using them as His tool to chastise His
nation. Nevukhadnetzar himself repented, but his son Belshazzar profaned
YHWH’s set-apart vessels for a drinking feast, and that was the last straw.
Bavel lost its sovereignty to Medo-Persia well before the 70 years were up.
Deu 28:62-65;
62 “And you shall be left with few men, although you had become as numerous
as the stars of the heavens, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your
Aluahym.
A full third of the tribe of Yehudah was destroyed within three to four years
only a few decades ago. Efrayim's decimation is harder to trace, but it is coming
to light more and more clearly day by day.
63 “And it shall be, that as יהוה rejoiced over you to do you good and increase
you, so יהוה does rejoice over you to destroy you and lay you waste. And you
shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.
64 “And יהוה shall scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to
the other, and there you shall serve other mighty ones, which neither you nor
your fathers have known, wood and stone.
Part of the curse is learning these new concepts of deity that we had accrued
over the years. The idea of a god-man is a punishment! This strong delusion of
Christian doctrines has come because we walked away from the Torah,
descending from the best vantage point so that we could no longer even
distinguish a man from YHWH.
65 “And among those nations you are to find no rest, nor have a resting place
for the sole of your foot. But there יהוה shall give you a trembling heart, and
failing eyes, and sorrow of being.
Yahuwdah’s pogroms are well-known, but the New World was populated first
by those being chased from their own lands and churches because they insisted
on being true to the Biblical text and had reformist ideas—the heretics of their
day, who would not celebrate Christmas, who kept the Sabbath, who refused
obvious idols. This breadbasket of the world has been a great blessing as an
open door to repent. It is a test to see whether we will establish the Kingdom
in its fullness this time, or if this will be the last straw that prevents any
possibility of the covenant truly being renewed. The philosophies of many
Western nations which largely stem from the Northern Kingdom of Y’Ishra’al
have ended up in such paranoia, rootlessness, and despair. Only recently has
this fearfulness gone away because of the presence of the Y’Ishra’ali nation
back in the Land.
Deu 30:1-10
1 “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the
curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart
among all the gentiles where יהוה your Aluahiym drives you,
When we are blessed, we tend to think we can do things our own way. Moshe
would not need to be a prophet to recognize, simply based on what he had
seen, that Y’Ishra’al is a people that goes back and forth between prioritizing
His covenant and ignoring it—sometimes from one day to the next. But when
we end up in captivity, he says we must remember—and this is occurring all
over the world. We need to remember both the blessings and the curses that
we have been through, though we would rather not think of the latter. They
are scary; we will hear a blowing leaf and think it is a rabid fox chasing us! And
one soldier will send 10,000 of us running for cover! We asked for it and we
got it. We wanted Him to find our rebellion acceptable, and yet still have
access to His promises. But it does not work that way. So He took our heritage
away so we would recognize our need for Him and learn to trust that
everything He wants to give us will benefit us. He allowed us to be under
corrupt shepherds who led us astray. We must remember the curses so we will
fear going our own way and the trouble it brings. The curses are not an
evidence of YHWH just waiting to catch us in an error and burn us, but are
another evidence of His love. If we do not appreciate Him for His blessings, He
will try to get a response from the opposite tactic. If we do not respond
properly, it is not a prophecy, but only a missed offer. If He ever says, “Okay,
go ahead and run free”, it means He has given up on us. Banished: or misled—
not because YHWH did His job imperfectly, but because we considered His yoke
a burden, He gave us what we wanted—blind shepherds. Until we admit that
we deserved it because we were selfish, we cannot move on from it. When:
literally, because. The intent is that they all lead us to turn back to YHWH. He
knows that if we do not have the bad side, we will just continue to ignore Him.
We still suffer the effects of ancient compromises. Because we have
prosperity, it is hard to see how enslaved we still are. Not that we should be
ungrateful, but if we are in a place where everyone is still selfish, we are not
Home. To ignore this truth will keep us living on borrowed land and never
allow us to do what it takes to overcome this condition. Search the covenants
so we can line ourselves up with them. Don’t try to go to the Land until we
take this step. But here we are in the Book! This day is upon us, and we are
remembering His Torah while still out among the nations. If we do not
embrace the covenants now, we will never see the Kingdom.
2 and shall turn back to יהוה your Aluahym and obey His voice, according to all
that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and
your children,
Return: or repent. Admit that we deserved every curse that has befallen us. As
long as we are still outside our Land, and not hearing YâHuWsHúa teach us in
person, we are still under the effects of the curses, and as long as we follow our
own selfish hearts, we will remain there. Obey: or "hear intelligibly". Note the
order: after we repent, we will hear His voice. Heart: or mind, understanding--
i.e., your whole "inner man". Notice that His voice is equated with all of
Moshe’s words. The Torah is the “how to” of loving YHWH and loving the
fellow members of our flocks as ourselves. We do not get to decide how to
repent; He has already told us. We know we have succeeded when the next
generation embraces the fact that they are Y’Ishra’al. They learn to the extent
that we embrace our heritage. A tree is known by its fruit. But we already
have one new generation since the return of the Northern Kingdom began, so
“that time” can begin any time:
3 then יהוה your Aluahym shall turn back your captivity, and shall have
compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples
where יהוה your Aluahym has scattered you.
At that time: an idiomatic flag that we are talking about the “latter days”. We
remain beaten as long as we do not realize we are captives. But the next step
must be to remove our exile mentality—that we cannot keep all of the Torah,
or do not have to, because we are still in exile. We are not to dwell on
mourning what we lost, but rejoice in what we are about to gain, because we
are on our way back! If we take full advantage of what we already do have, He
will let us have more. Compassion: a direct reversal of the curse of “no mercy”
. His compassion even includes allowing us the freedom to make choices that
lead to repentance. When we start to live as His people, showing by our fruit
that we are what we say we are, He too will claim us as His own. As we take a
step back toward the father, He runs toward His prodigal people, for He still
wants us back. We can “come as we are”, but must not expect to stay that
way. Assemble: the word is the same root from which we get the modern
word "kibbutz" (collective farm), so it implies that, although He may gather us
one by one--“one from a city, two from a family” , before He returns us to the
Land, we will first be formed into a tight-knit community. Although each of us
may realize he is a piece of a once-holy vessel, after we are cleaned up as an
archaeologist does, we are still not useful for His purposes until we are all
collected into one place and reassembled in the right context. Disengaging us
from the nations, though unpleasant at first, is thus also part of His
compassion. We no longer have to wait for the sentence to run out; the time is
already up. It is our move now; He is waiting for us to do what is right.
4 “If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from
there יהוה your Aluahym does gather you, and from there He does take you.
Driven out. Farthest reaches of the sky: i.e., the most distant horizon. But it
literally says, “The edges of the heavens”; does this include a manned mission
to Mars? Who knows but that there may be an Y’Ishra’alite who is living in the
space station at the YHWH calls all Y’Ishra’al back to the Land! But we were
also “lost in the heavens” when we made “Heaven”, rather than the Promised
Land, our goal. Fetch you away: The term is also used of taking a bride, and
once we are gathered that is what we can be for Him. Yeshayahu speaks of
nations bringing our sons and daughters who are still left outside the Land back
home on their shoulders. They are His agents.
5 “And יהוה your Aluahym shall bring you to the land which your fathers
possessed, and you shall possess it. And He shall do good to you, and increase
you more than your fathers.
Then: After we have assembled. We cannot go back alone, or we will merely
be cannon fodder for the enemies that still inhabit the Land. The “you” here is
not his immediate audience, because their ancestors had not possessed the
Land, but only sojourned there. It is to those who returned from Babylon, and
to us, whose ancestors did possess the Land once (and in some cases twice).
He does not say He will bring us to Heaven; the Promised Land is still actually a
land! The Kingdom is still hidden away in another realm until the time is right
for it to be manifested, but it is not somewhere in the clouds. Make you right:
or deal well with you, make you glad, do right to you. Enlarge you: There will
not be enough room in the Land to hold us all. Ovadyah 19 tell what some of
these new borders will include, and they may go even further, because YHWH
promised Avraham all the way to the Ferath (Euphrates) River! But it can also
mean "grow you up".
6 “And יהוה your Aluahym shall circumcise your heart and the heart of your
seed, to love יהוה your Aluahym with all your heart and with all your being, so
that you might live,
When we repent, we are offering to let YHWH remove the flesh that has grown
over our hearts (understanding, inclination, appetites), but this will not be done
by magic. It is the experiences we have been through that change us. He will
provide us with the knife, but we must cut away the selfish desires through
deciding to love our fellow flock-members as ourselves instead. What we have
done in order to come home—walking in Torah and the process of dealing with
our own hearts—is what allows them to be made even more sensitive to His
words. It is painful, but it allows us to become complete. As we look back at
what we were only a few years ago--thinking we were faithful to Him, yet
Âthâ´m insisting that we did not need His Torah--we can rejoice that He has
taken away this obstacle and our every excuse has vanished into thin air! As
when He said He would write His Torah upon our hearts , He meant He will
make the whole Torah a joy to us--if only by contrast in retrospect with all the
futile things we have practiced and believed in the meantime. Thrive: not just
breathing, but being alive and knowing how to live--fruitful even in a drought,
since we trust in YHWH, not wealth or anything else. The Sabbath and festivals
revitalize us with calls to awaken, repent, and be full of joy.
7 and יהוה your Aluahiym shall put all these curses on your enemies and on
those who hate you, who persecuted you.
He turns it back on them, like those who first put Daniel in the lions’ den. “His
mischief will come back on his own head.” “What you sow, you will also reap.”
YHWH punished Assyria for taking Y’Ishra’al captive once their job was done,
even though they were YHWH's own agent of discipline for Y’Ishra’al, since
they did it out of selfish motives. Like Pharaoh, they were just "extras" needed
to play out a drama so there could be an antagonist, but they thought it was for
their own sakes, and because of their own greatness. Yeshayahu 62:8 says that
from this time onward, He will never again give what is ours to others as He did
when we rebelled . How does this square with Yâhuwshúa’’s command to love
our enemies? He was speaking to Y’Ishra’al’ites about other Y’Ishra’al’ites. We
still injure and cause grief to one another, but we need to remember that we
are brothers and treat one another that way. Having an attitude like David’s
(e.g., Tehillim69) toward YHWH’s enemies—those who persecute His people—
is not wrong. His enemies will fall, and those from within Y’Ishra’al who
abandon love for one another will be left behind when it comes time to go
home, having written themselves out of Y’Ishra’al.
8. "And you will turn back and listen to the voice of YHWH--that is, carry out all
His commandments which I am laying upon you today.
You will…carry out: This is how the Renewed Covenant differs from the first.
(Yirm. 31)
9 “And יהוה your Aluahiym shall make you have excess in all the work of your
hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit
of your ground for good. For יהוה turns back to rejoice over you for good as He
rejoiced over your fathers,
He will turn back to us, and return to us what He took away when disciplining
us. When we are back in context, He can bless us and it will be justice. This
time we must not squander it by hoarding it, but use it to benefit our fellow
Y’Ishra’al’ites. Children, livestock, a land, and food are the true, solid wealth,
unlike the "money" which always changes in value and today is often just a
figment of a computer's imagination. But the truest fruitfulness is increasing in
our knowledge of YHWH.
10 if you obey the voice of יהוה your Aluahiym, to guard His commands and His
laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back to יהוה your
Aluahiym with all your heart and with all your being.
If: All of these promises for the latter day still contain a conditional clause.
Scripture history tells us that Y’Ishra’al is now in the third dispossession of her
land.
Every prophecy that has been fulfilled up to this hour has been fulfilled literally.
They were “plucked off from the land” and “scattered through all the nations”
as has been predicted in twelve great prophecies. They are yet to be restored,
and for the last time, as predicted in many important prophecies. To this end
they are being miraculously preserved as a separate people.
To their final restoration all earth movements are tending. As YHWH has
literally taken them off the land, so will He literally place them back in the land
which He has given them for an everlasting possession?
We read in connection with
Mat 24:31-34
31 “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end
of the heavens to the other.
There are two special trumpets used in the festivals: one is called the "last
trump" and it is blown at Rosh HaShanah, the "day of the awakening blast".
That seems to be fulfilled at the beginning of the time of "great affliction"; the
second is called the "great trumpet", and it is blown on the Day of Atonement
when the gates to the Temple are about to be closed, symbolizing the end of
YHWH's patience with the unrepentant. (Note the reference to doors in v. 33.)
This cannot occur until the end of the "time of Yaakov's trouble".
32 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already
become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33 “So you also, when you see all these, know that He is near, at the doors.
34 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this
takes place.
This passage is about Y’Ishra’al. She is the “elect” to be gathered. She is typified
by the fig tree. She is preserved until all these things are fulfilled. As a. fig tree
was cursed, she has for many centuries been dry, withered and fruitless. In this
passage it is prophesied of her that she will yet put forth the tender shoots of
her national life.
Ychezqa’l, vision of the valley of dry bones is another prophecy of the
restoration of Y’Ishra’al
Ychezqa’l, 37:1-14
1 The hand of יהוה was upon me and took me out by the Spirit (Raukh) of יהוה,
and set me down in the midst of the valley. And it was filled with bones.
2 And He made me pass among them, all around, and see, there were very
many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were very dry.
Amazingly dry: As long as there is some marrow left in the bones or teeth, DNA
samples can be taken from even ancient mummies, but these bones are too dry
for that. Ychezqa’l could not tell whose they were. There is no genetic evidence
left that they were once Y’Ishra’al. But DNA and ancestry is not what will
constitute our claim to be Y’Ishra’al, but the fact that we live as Y’Ishra’al now.
3 And He said to me, “Son of man, would these bones live?” And I said, “O
Master יהוה, you know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and you shall say to them, ‘O
dry bones, hear the word of יהוה!
5 ‘Thus said the Master יהוה to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a Spirit
(Raukh), and you shall live.
6 “And I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you with
skin and put a Spirit (Raukh) in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I
am יהוה.
He tells them twice that breath (Spirit (Raukh)) will come into them. The first
time, with the coming of the Messiah, we were reborn as individuals. He was
authorized to give life to whomever He chose. The second time, it must be
corporately. This infusion of breath came with the departure of YHWH’s wrath
from the Northern Kingdom only a few years ago.
7 And I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a
noise, and there was a rattling. And the bones came together, bone to bone.
Bone to its bone: compare Âthâ´m ’s realization that “at last this is bone of my
bone and flesh of my flesh!” It could also be read, member to its
corresponding same; i.e., YHWH puts us in the right order, e.g., not expecting
an eardrum to function correctly if attached to a finger. What holds them all
together is the exercise of the gifting’s YHWH has given each of us to supply the
rest of the Body so it can function properly.
8 And I looked and saw sinews and flesh came upon them, and skin covered
them, but there was no Spirit (Raukh) in them.
Flesh: from the same root word as “Gospel” (glad news). So it is clear that the
Gospel is not all YHWH intends for us. We are the ones who must flesh out the
remains of our scattered ancestors by keeping the particular commands of the
Torah.
9 He then said to me, “Prophesy to the Spirit (Raukh), prophesy, son of man,
and you shall say to the Spirit (Raukh), ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “Come from
the four winds, O Spirit (Raukh), and breathe on these slain, so that they live.
Note that this third time, it is Y’hezq’al’s responsibility to call the breath into
them. This is the Spirit (Raukh) of Aliyahu—that of the restoration of all things.
(Ma Even many of those who have the true Gospel and know they are Y’Ishra’al
are still lacking in the area of living according to the Torah, and we are not
ready to go to the Land until all three stages are complete. In the shakharit
morning prayers, we blow the shofar to call Y’Ishra’al back from all four
directions. Slain ones: an allusion to a tradition that 30,000 Efrayimites,
knowing redemption was coming and that they were meant to go back to the
Land of Y’Ishra’al, left Egypt on their own before Moshe came, and came to a
valley in the Promised Land, but were killed there by the Filistines. This re-
emphasizes the fact that this passage is not referring to Yehudah, whose
ancestral connections were never lost, but the Northern Kingdom. Verse 16
uses the same terminology as v. 11 (“the whole House of Y’Ishra’al”) with
reference only to the House of Yoseyf (Efrayim). This is also a warning to those
of us who would try to go back to the Land too early—before all Y’Ishra’al is
ready to go together. The Palestinians call themselves Filistines too!
10 And I prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit (Raukh) came into
them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great army.
The root word from which the Hebrew word for “bone” is taken actually means
vast, mighty, or numerous!
the dead hope of Y’Ishra’al is revived
11 And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Y’Ishra’al.
See, they say, ‘Our bones are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we
ourselves have been cut off!’
Bones…dried: or, members…withered away [for lack of water]. Our hope is lost:
or, our rope has been cut. The word for bone also means “to tie tightly
together”; bones have no value otherwise. Separated: or, divided in two. To
ourselves: to living as individuals and even letting our Spirit (Raukh)ual lives
and salvation focus on that level alone.
12 “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,
“See, O My people, I am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your
graves, and shall bring you into the land of Y’Ishra’al.
13 “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people,
and bring you up from your graves.
The bones were on the surface of the ground; now the imagery changes to
graves, because though it was our ancestors who were scattered, we are the
ones who must come out of the churches, often even surrounded by
graveyards, to become what our ancestors were meant to be.
14 “And I shall put My Spirit (Raukh) in you, and you shall live, and I shall settle
you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken, and I have
done it,” declares יהוה.’ ”
Spoken: This is how YHWH created the first time, and how He now re-creates
us.
Here we are told that the dry bones are “the whole house of Y’Ishra’al” and the
vision is said to be concerning their restoration to national life and to their own
land
Ychezqa’l, 37:13-14
13 “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people,
and bring you up from your graves.“ And I shall put My Spirit (Raukh) in you,
and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know
that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’ ”
Such is a small portion of the body of prophecy concerning the future of
YHWH’s chosen people.
Are there any indications that we are nearing the fulfillment?
The question will never be settled until that nation of Y’Ishra’al (the twelve
tribes ) which are in the Diaspora: are restored to that land. Then this and all
other national problems will be settled, for Y’Ishra’al King will then reign in
righteousness and peace over the whole earth as King of kings
Since the days of YâHuWsHúa nothing of such Biblical importance has
happened to this people as a nation. The fig tree is budding and the dry bones
of the valley are arising.
We are so close
Ychezqa’l 37:15-22
15. Then the Word of YHWH came to me to say,
16. “As for you, son of Âthâ´m, take for yourself one stick and write on it, ‘For
Yehudah and for the sons of Y’Ishra’al, his companions.’ Then take one [more]
stick and write on it, ‘For Yoseyf, the stick of Efrayim, and the whole House of
Y’Ishra’al, his companions.’
17. “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall
become one in your hand.
18. “Then when the sons of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you
inform us what these [mean] to you?’,
19. “tell them, ‘This is what the Master YHWH says: “Watch Me take the stick
of Yoseyf, which is in the hand of Efrayim, along with the tribes of Y’Ishra’al, his
companions, and I will put them on it--the stick of Yehudah--and make them
into one stick, and they will become one in My hand.”’
20. “Now the sticks on which you write must be in your hand for their eyes [to
see].
21. “And tell them, ‘This is what the Master YHWH says: “Watch! I am taking
the descendants of Y’Ishra’al from among the nations into which they have
gone, and will collect them from every side and bring them onto their own
ground.
22. “‘“Then I will make them into one nation in the Land—on the mountains of
Y’Ishra’al—and one king will be king to all of them, and they will never again
become two nations, nor will they any longer be halved into two kingdoms ever
again.

Not all Y’Ishra’al’ites are Jewish, and pertaining to this time our Jewish Brothers
