B’reshit 44:18-47:27
Haftorah
Yechezk’El
37:15 -28, Luke 6:9-15
Daniel ben
Ya'acov Israel
The parsha's title
"Vayigash" is named after Yehudah's action. The word is based on
the Hebrew word "nagash" to
come near. In fact the action describe Yehudah
coming closer to Yosef on behalf of Benjamin. As I have written in the last parsha Benjamin had been assimilated to the tribe of Yehudah, called the House of
Yehudah after the split of the Kingdom at Sh'lomo's death. Benjamin
is the brother from Yoseph both
having the same mother Rachel, the
wife loved by Ya'acov. Today the House of Yehudah is known in the all
world as "Jews" a term
which doesn't make any difference between those forming the House of Yehudah, namely Yehuda, Levites, and Benjamin. Today's parsha give us hints concerning the conditions how and when Yoseph who is a picture of Messiah the
Saviour will reveal himself to our brethren from Yehudah.
The Parsha Vayigash
is about the re-gathering of Ya’acov’s
sons as a whole in the land of Egypt (Mitzaryim). Egypt is a metaphor of the world today,
unfortunately because of the rejection of the Torah, people cannot recognize
the parallel between Egypt and the
Word we are living nowadays. We will once again get help from the book of Yasher to have more information as we go
through the Parsha and avoid any misinterpretation.
When we study the parsha, our focus
is to see behind the P’shat (literal)
level, what יהוה want us to see. This is not for lazy people or for
those people who follow rather the doctrines of men than the truth. We are now
living in the last days and come closer to the returning of our Master יהושע who will establish יהוה’s Kingdom on earth. Are you
ready, do you know what will happen in the coming years?
The prophet Daniel
writes:
Dan 11:32 “And by flatteries he shall profane those
who do wrong against the covenant, but the
people who know their Elohim shall be strong, and shall act.........
The Hebrew word for “strong” is “Chazaq” strong’s # H2388 prevail,
harden, be courageous, be firm, be resolute, to press............
So we could say: “the
people who know their Elohim shall prevail, be courageous, resolute and firm
and shall act.”...................
This is a description for those living in the last
days when the man of perdition will deceive many because they don’t love the
truth. We see new pressure in the world’s system today and those who are prepared
will know what to do and listen to the small voice of the Ruach HaQodesh (Set Apart Spirit). We have seen many times that the
P’shat level teaches us the life of
our forefathers, so that we can have the testimony. Of course it is good to
know and to understand the principle taught by the patriarchs. We have seen
that already before Noach, Torah was
taught among those who followed יהוה.
Yasher
(The Just) told us that יהוה waited patiently that all righteous men died and only Noach and his household remain before
bringing the Flood.............
Let see what the book of Yasher says about the men of old:
Yasher
Ch.2:2. And Seth
lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Seth called the name
of his son Enosh, saying, because in that time the sons of men began to
multiply, and to afflict their souls and
hearts by transgressing and rebelling against Elohim. 10. and Enosh lived ninety years and he
begat Cainan; (Cainan was the third generation from Adam; they are
ten generation from Adam to Noach) 11. and Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and
had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he
reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to wisdom and
knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise
man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons; 12. and
Cainan knew by his wisdom that Elohim would destroy the sons of men
for having sinned upon earth,
and that YHWH would in the latter days
bring upon them the waters of the flood. 13. and in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone, what
was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures. 14. and
Cainan reigned over the whole earth, and he
turned some of the sons of men to the service of God. ..........
We
can see that already things were written down to be kept for the following
generations. I wrote in the last Parsha
concerning Moshe and his writing, asking: how could Moshe knew in so much
details the creation and all what happen to Abraham,
Itzahk and Ya’acov. Here we have a clue of what has been available to Moshe. Many
years have I not understood why men were living 1000 years and how things have
changed after Noach. I have read a
lot of books and teaching, and so came to understand how Elohim change the
earth axis in order to bring seasons,(until Noach
there was no season B’reshit 8:22), and shorten the life span of man by
reducing the air (oxygene)
composition. This will be soon reversed so that again we can have life for 1000
year on earth before eternal life start with the new heaven and new earth.
Today the earth axe is moved 23.5 degrees from its original axis. This was not
so before the flood when the earth stood on a 72.5 degrees axe. It is said that
the earth was move to its new position by the passing by of a huge planet which
caused the earth to move into another position. Have you read about Planet X,
it is said that this planet will pass by the earth in the year 2012 and bring
dramatic change and reverse the earth position, may be it will be another year,
but change will come for sure at the right time. But let us go back to the book
of Yasher to see that some of them
were following the Torah (instructions) from יהוה.
Yasher Chapter 3
1.
and Enoch lived sixty-five years and he begat Methuselah; and Enoch walked with Elohim after having
begot Methuselah, and he served YHWH, and despised the evil ways of men. 2. and the soul of Enoch was wrapped up in the instruction of YHWH, in
knowledge and in understanding; and he wisely retired from the sons of men,
and secreted himself from them for many days. 3. and it was at the expiration of many years, whilst he was serving YHWH, and praying before him
in his house, that an angel of YHWH called to him from Heaven, and he said,
Here am I. 4. and he said, rise, go forth from thy house and from
the place where thou dost hide thyself, and appear to the sons of men, in order
that thou mayest teach them the way in
which they should go and the work which they must accomplish to enter in the
ways of Elohim. 16. and Adam died because
he ate of the tree of knowledge; he and his children after him,as YHWH Elohim
had spoken. 17. and it was in the year of Adam's death which was the two
hundred and forty-third year of the reign of Enoch, in that time Enoch resolved
to separate himself from the sons of men and to secret himself as at first in
order to serve YHWH. 18. and Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself
from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them
for one day. 19. and during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised YHWH Elohim,
and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the
ways of YHWH, and all they asked him about YHWH he told them. 20. and he
did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days,
and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month,
and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of men sought
for him, and desired again to see the face of Enoch, and to hear his word; but
they could not, as all the sons of men were greatly afraid of Enoch, and they feared to approach him on account of
the Godlike awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished
and die. Yasher 4:16. and all
the sons of men departed from the ways of YHWH in those days as they multiplied
upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one another
their evil practices and they continued
sinning against YHWH (sin is the transgression of the Torah 1 Yochanan
3:4). Yasher 5:
21. and all the sons of men who
knew YHWH, died in that year before YHWH brought evil upon them; for YHWH willed them to die, so as not to
behold the evil that Elohim would bring upon their brothers and relatives,
as he had so declared to do. 22. In
that time, YHWH said to Noah and
Methuselah, Stand forth and proclaim to the sons of men all the words that I
spoke to you in those days, peradventure they may turn from their evil ways,
and I will then repent of the evil and will not bring it. 23. and Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and said in the ears of
the sons of men, all that Elohim had spoken concerning them.24. But the sons of men would not hearken, neither would they incline their
ears to all their declarations. 25. and it was after this that YHWH said to
Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, on account of their evil deeds,
and behold I will destroy the earth.
So we see that from Adam to Noach they were
men knowing and obeying the Torah יהוה
gave to Adam.
Later Shem, Noach’s son will also teach the Torah to Abraham and so the Torah will go from generation to generation to
lift up the name of יהוה and instruct Elohim’s people in the righteous life. Yoseph also has been taught by his
father Ya’acov and stay in the right
way in spite of being separated from his family, while living among idolaters. How
it is with you, are you not like Yoseph
living among idolaters in the "modern
Egypt"? Have you not chosen not
to defile yourself by following the world system?
Verses 18.
Yehuda is the fourth son born to Leah, Ya’acov’s
first wife. It is interesting to see that the Yehudin (Jews), the tribe of Yehuda will reject Messiah in the fourth day, the year four thousand.
Once again we can see how יהוה reveals hidden truth to those who seek. The number
four in the scriptures is the number for: change test and challenge, but also
for signal, a whole and completion (Greg Killian). It was in the fourth day
that the sun the moon and the stars were created. Yehuda says to Yoseph. “you
are like Pharaoh" (verse 18). Here Pharaoh is a picture of “Elohim* on
earth”. *Elohim is a title and not a
name: Mighty One and also used for the g-ds
of the nations. We shall make the difference with Pharaoh in Moshe’s time
which is a picture of HaSatan, a
wicked king who didn't recognized יהוה Elohim. Here we have seen that
since Yoseph has been chosen by
Pharaoh, favours abound to him and later to his family. So keep in mind that Pharaoh can reflect a different picture,
depending the time of history. Yoseph
(the forerunner of Messiah) is in charge over Egypt (Mitzaryim) as,
later יהושע will be over the world. Let’s look what יהושע told the
people:
Joh 5:22 “For the Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son,
Joh 5:27 and He
has given Him authority also to do judgment, because He is the Son of Aḏam.
Joh 5:30 “Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous,
because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent
Me. .....................
Now let us compare with Yoseph’s situation at Pharaoh’s
court to see the interpretation from Yoseph,
representing the “P’shat” (literal)
to יהושע who incarnate the “sod”
(mystery) of the Torah.
Gen 41:38 and Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” Gen 41:39
Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has shown you all
this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. Gen 41:40 “Be over my
house, you yourself, and at your mouth
all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am greater than you.” Gen
41:41 and Pharaoh
said to Yosĕph, “See, I have set you
over all the land of Mitsrayim.”
Can you see the duality in the life of Yoseph and the life of יהושע? Both, natural and spiritual are directly related. This is also
for us to understand that our commitment to יהוה .....Elohim in
Messiah יהושע will determine our reward in the Kingdom according to
the “good works”, which are the fruits of the Torah. "Only in the throne I am greater than you", this are the
words Pharaoh spoke to Yoseph. Look now what יהושע says in the book of Yochanan:
Joh 5:26………."but
has given all the judgment to the Son, Joh 5:27 and He has given Him authority also to do
judgment"...............
Can you see the parallel between Yoseph and יהושע, who has the Father over him?
Gen 44:18 and Yehuḏah came near (Vayigash) to him and said, “O my master, please let your servant
speak a word in my master’s hearing, and do not let your displeasure burn
against your servant, for you are
like Pharaoh. .......Gen 44:19
“My master asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father or a brother?’ .....
19-33.
Yehudah recalls what Yoseph asked of him, telling him to
bring Benyamin! We should remember
that Benjamin is the only brother
from Yoseph through their mother Rahel. Benjamin has been assimilated to Yehudah after the Kingdom under Sh’lomo
has been split up between king Yeroboam
and Rehoboam.(1 king 12:18-21, 2nd
Chronicle 11:12, Rom.11:1). In this parsha
we see that the first who will recognize Yoseph
to be his brother, is Benjamin, today many others are those spiritual Benjamin
(may be also natural, time will tell) who many so called, “Jews” (rather
Yehudin) like Avi Mordechai, Monte Judah,
Ed Neddle, Greg Killian, Ariel in Yerushalayim having recognized יהושע to be Messiah are taking part to the re-gathering and the House of Israel, Ephraim, but let us go further before we read more.
Gen 44:20
“And we said to my master, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a young child of his old age, and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children,
and his father loves him.’ Gen 44:21
“And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, and let me set my eyes
on him.’ Gen
44:22 “And we
said to my master, ‘The boy is not able to leave his father, for if he leaves
his father, his father shall die.’
22.
It means if the son is separated from the father there
is no possibility of reconciliation. His “father
will die”. To die means to cease to exist!
Gen 44:23
“But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with
you, you do not see my face again.’ Gen 44:24 “And it came to be, when we went up to your servant
my father, that we told him the words of my master. Gen 44:25 “And our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little
food.’ Gen 44:26 “But we said, ‘We are not able to go down. If our
youngest brother is with us, then we shall go down, for we are not able to see
the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’
Verse
26: In Hebrew the idiom “to go down” means “to humble
one else” Yoseph is asking for
them to bring Benyamin. Yehudah told his Father (picture of the
whole Israel) that they cannot “go down” (humble themselves) to Yoseph (Messiah) if not Benyamin Yoseph direct brother be also with them.
It is very interesting that יהושע says:
“For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in
the heavens is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matt.12:50)..................
The disciples were telling יהושע about his
natural family members. We can connect both natural and spiritual. Today יהושע (Yoseph)’s
brother, Benyamin (part of the “Jews” following Messiah יהושע) is doing the will (desire) of the Father (have turned to the
Torah through Messiah יהושע) and thus open the way for the whole reconciliation...............
Gen 44:27
“Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two
sons, .......................
Let us try to see in the “sod” the meaning of the text. Yoseph
(Messiah) required to Yehudah (the
Jews) that Benyamin (assimilated Jews)
comes before him before he let them all go. Benyamin
is direct related to Yoseph through Rahel their mother. Yehudah tells Yoseph
(messiah) that his Father Ya’acov
(the House of Ya’acov or Israel) had two sons Yoseph and Benyamin.
Verse 28 one Yoseph (Messiah) has
been “torn to pieces” (killed) and now if this should happen to Benyamin (son of the right hand), this
would be the end of Ya’acov
prosperity as patriarch verse 29 “to go to the grave” which is in Hebrew “sheol” the underworld, place of no
return, also figuratively the exile.(Brown,
Driver Brigg’s Hebrew definitions). We know that Ya’acov household will later be sent into exile and so for two days
(2000 years) the House of Ya’acov
will be in exile “sheol”.
Sheol:
Strong's # H7585 שׁאול sheh-ole' From H7592;
hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates: - grave, hell, pit.
...........
To
get understanding we have to know that we were also dead before following יהושע the same death Adam was condemned......
Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with the Messiah, (by favour ye are saved) Benyamin is the “link” for the reconciliation
between the House of Yehudah (Jews) and the House of Ephraim (Yoseph).
What
link was Sh'aul?
Php 3:5 Circumcised the
eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of
the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of
the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath YHWH cast away his people?
By no means. For I (Sha'ul) also
am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin......
Sha'ul
was called by יהושע
Act 26:14 and when we were all fallen to the earth, I
heard why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks a voice speaking unto me, and saying in
the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul,. Act 26:15 and
I said, Who art thou, Master? And he
said, I am Yehoshua whom thou persecutest.............
Gal 1:15 but when it pleased YHWH, who separated me
from my mother's womb, and called me by
his favour, Gal 1:16 To reveal
his Son in me,
that I might preach him among the heathen (nations); immediately I conferred
not with flesh and blood:.......................
Do you think that it was hazard for Sha'ul to be called to bring the good
news first to his brethren from Yehudah,
then to those from among the nations?
Act 28:23 and when they (The Jews) had appointed him a
day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and
testified the kingdom of YHWH, persuading them concerning Yehoshua, both out of
the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. Act
28:24 and some believed the things which were
spoken, and some believed not…………Act 28:28 be it known
therefore unto you, that the salvation of YHWH is sent unto the Gentiles
(nations), and that they will hear it. Act 28:29 and
when he had said these words, the Jews
departed, and had great reasoning among themselves................
Sh'aul
a Benjamite recognized יהושע (Yoseph) to be the
Messiah (Saviour). Now the time has come for יהושע to be
recognized of Benjamite (Sha'ul) first and
his brothers Yehudin. Unfortunately
at this time when he came, many rejected him, preferring to follow their
traditions. Can you see that the scriptures reveals its perfect harmony and
that we can discover beautiful truth has we learn more and more. Yehudah
and his brothers do not recognize Yoseph (Messiah) because they are in Mitzrayim (Egypt) and therefore cannot
one second imagine that their brother Yoseph
(Messiah) can rule over a “pagan world”
which is a picture of יהושע today standing at the right hand of the Father
(Pharaoh in the Parsha) ruling among the House of Israel in the world today. But
what the Scriptures say?
Isa 49:5 and now, saith YHWH that formed me from the
womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered,
yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of YHWH, and my Elohim shall be my
strength. Isa
49:6 and he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest
be my
servant (Messiah) to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and
to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee (Messiah) for a light to the
Gentiles (nations), that thou mayest be my
salvation (Heb. y'shuati)
unto the end of the earth. Isa 49:7 Thus
saith YHWH, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him (יהושע) whom man despiseth, to him whom
the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise,
princes also shall worship, because of YHWH that is faithful, and he Holy One
of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Isa 49:8
Thus
saith YHWH, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation
have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee (יהושע) for a covenant of the people,
to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; Isa 49:9 that
thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew
yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all
high places. .................
.Our
brethren from the House of Yehudah
(Jews) don’t recognize us as their brethren, even knowing that the “lost
tribes” must come back to fulfil the prophecy and all Israel enter together the
Olam Haba, Eternity. "Jews" today all around the
world have become like many others, religious people and have more love for
their traditions, "Talmud"
and "rabies" than the truth,
following Judaism.
HaSatan
has lift up his "tool" (Jesus) through the Roman Catholic Church in order to bring confusion to the Yehudin (Jews) who cannot accept a
lawlessness Messiah. Remember when Yehudah
and his brothers came to Egypt, Yoseph
(Messiah) is wearing the same clothes than the Egyptians they cannot recognize him. How it is today with you and me, can our
brethren recognize us in our “pagan”
clothes? You see how important is, to go back to the Torah’s instructions. Woman to be clothed decently, not wearing men’s clothes, men to give
their best to be what the Torah says (beard)
and hairs, not like women, to keep the Shabbat and to honour the Moedim as rehearsal, to reject all pagans feasts like
Christmas, Easter, Saint Valentine, birthday celebration, Sunday worship and
eating unclean food pork and alike.
Deu 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination
unto YHWH thy Elohim.
Do you think it is different today?
Mal 3:6 for I am YHWH, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.............
Gen 44:28
and the one went out from me, and I said, “Truly, he is torn, torn to pieces!”
And I have not seen him since. ...........
“Truly he (Yoseph
/ Messiah יהושע) was torn
to pieces”:
Isa 53:5
but He was pierced for our
transgressions, He was crushed for
our crookednesses. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His
stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has
turned to his own way. And יהוה has laid on Him the crookedness of
us all. Isa 53:7 He was oppressed
and He was afflicted, but He did not
open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
its shearers is silent, but He did not open His mouth. Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and
from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be cut off from the land of the
living? For the transgression of
My people He was stricken.
Isa 53:9 and He was appointed a grave
with the wrong, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no
violence, nor was deceit in His mouth.
Gen 44:29
‘And if you take this one from me too, and harm comes to him, you shall bring
down my grey hair with evil to the grave.’
Gen 44:30
“And now, if I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us –
since his own life is bound up in his life – Gen 44:31 then it shall be, when he sees that the boy is not
with us, that he shall die. So your servants shall bring down the grey hair of
your servant our father with evil to the grave. Gen 44:32 “For your servant went guaranty for the boy to my
father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him
back to you, then I shall be a sinner before my father forever.’
Gen 44:33
“And now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a slave to my
master, and let the boy go up with his brothers. Gen 44:34 “For how do I go up to my father if the boy is not
with me, lest I see the evil that would come upon my father?”
It is interesting to see that it is Yehudah who stand before Yoseph (Messiah) on behalf of Benyamin who is Yoseph’s brother, but read:
The book of Yasher
gives us more inside about the position of Yehudah,
how he stands on behalf of Benyamin.
Remember that Yoseph told Benyamin that he will reveal himself if
their brothers are worthy, but let us read some verses from Yasher:
Yasher
chapter 54: 3. and Judah spoke before Joseph, and his brethren were
there standing before them; and Judah said unto Joseph, Surely when we first
came to our Master to buy food, thou didst consider us as spies of the land,
and we brought Benjamin before thee, and thou still makest sport of us this
day. 4. Now therefore let the king
hear my words and send I pray thee our brother that he may go along with us to
our father, lest thy soul perish this day with all the souls of the inhabitants
of Egypt. 5. Dost thou not know what two of my brethren, Simeon and Levi, did
unto the city of Shechem, and unto seven cities of the Amorites, on account of
our sister Dinah, and also what they
would do for the sake of their brother Benjamin? 6. And I (Yehuda)with my strength, who am greater and mightier than
both of them, come this day upon thee and thy land if thou art unwilling to
send our brother. 7. Hast thou not heard what our Elohim who
made choice of us did unto Pharaoh on
account of Sarah our mother, whom he took away from our father, that he
smote him and his household with heavy plagues, that even unto this day the
Egyptians relate this wonder to each other? so will our Elohim do unto thee on
account of Benjamin whom thou hast this day taken from his father, and on
account of the evils which thou this day heapest over us in thy land; for our Elohim will remember his covenant
with our father Abraham and bring evil upon thee, because thou hast
grieved the soul of our father this day.
8. Now therefore hear my words that I have this day
spoken unto thee, and send our brother that he may go away lest thou and the
people of thy land die by the sword, for you cannot all prevail over me. 9. And Joseph answered Judah, saying,
Why hast thou opened wide thy mouth and why dost thou boast over us, saying,
Strength is with thee? as Pharaoh liveth, if I command all my valiant men to
fight with you, surely thou and these thy brethren would sink in the mire.
We
see that Yehudah is making clear to
“the man of Pharaoh” (Yoseph) whom he
does not know that the Elohim of Abraham is able to release Benyamin. The problem of Yehuda to think that Elohim will act because of Abraham, Itzahk and Ya'acov was still
recurrent in יהושע's time and is still today:
Mat 3:6 and were
baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. Mat 3:7 but
when he (Yochanan) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Yehudin) come to
his baptism, he said unto them, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mat 3:8 Bring forth
therefore fruits meet for repentance:Mat 3:9
and think not to say within yourselves, We
have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that Elohim is able of
these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Mat 3:10 and
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ..............
Read
what our brethren from Yehudah pray
today. Here an excerpt from the Seder
book used during prayer time "Shemoneh
Esreh": "Blessed are you HaShem our God and the God of our forefathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of
Jacob; the great, mighty and awesome God, the supreme God, who bestows
beneficial kindness and creates everything, who recalls (remember) the kindness of the Patriarchs and brings a
redeemer to their children's children for His Name's sake, with love".......
What
was Yoseph waiting for, was he
waiting that his brethren call on the righteousness of their fathers, or was he
waiting that they repent? Ask: Can we recall on the righteousness of Abraham or should we look to live a
righteous life to see Elohim act for
us?
11.
and Joseph answered and said unto him, Surely strength belongeth not alone to thee;
I
am stronger and mightier than thou, surely if thou
drawest thy sword I will put it to thy neck and the necks of all thy brethren. 12.
and Judah said unto him, Surely if I this day open my mouth against thee I would swallow thee up that thou be
destroyed from off the earth and perish this day from thy kingdom. And
Joseph said, Surely if thou openest thy mouth I have power and might to close
thy mouth with a stone until thou shalt not be able to utter a word; see how
many stones are before us, truly I can take a stone, and force it into thy
mouth and break thy jaws. 13. and Judah said, God is witness between us, that we
have not hitherto desired to battle with thee, only give us our brother and we
will go from thee; and Joseph answered and said, As Pharaoh liveth, if all the
kings of Canaan came together with you, you should not take him from my hand. 15. Elohim forbid
that our brother Benjamin or any of the seed of Abraham should do this thing to
steal from thee, or from anyone else, whether king, prince, or any man.
The
rhetoric(good speech) goes on and on between Yehudah and Yoseph. Yehudah want
to demonstrate to this “pagan” King hat
he his powerful and Yoseph resist
him.
23. and Judah said, Surely thou art a king, and why speakest thou these
things, giving a false judgment? woe unto the king who is like unto thee. 24. ad Joseph answered and said, There is no false judgment in the word that I
spoke on account of your brother Joseph, for all of you sold him to the Midianites for twenty
pieces
of silver, and you
all denied it to your father and said unto him, An evil beast has devoured him,
Joseph has been torn to pieces. ................
Yoseph refresh their thoughts to
what they did to their brother twenty years ago!
Psa 51:3 for I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. ……
When
David sinned against Elohim with Bethsebah he was “mark” by his sin and wrote: “my sin is ever before me” asking Elohim to clean him from his unrighteousness (51:7). Messiah will be sold by Yehudah Iscariot also for thirty pieces
of silver. If we look today to Israel,
we will see that the land has also become part of Egypt with all its pagan traditions and sins, false
worship, immorality, homosexuality, secular government who seek the help of men
(USA) instead of seeking יהוה's face. Those from among the Yehudin who believe that יהוה will restore the Land still
follow man's traditions and thus are still in bondage, only few from among Benjamin (?) have recognize their brother יהושע......Yehudah offers himself as a
substitute for Benyamin, he has
learned from his past sin......56. and Joseph said unto Judah, Surely you speak truth and have this day
verified your assertions concerning your strength, and may your Elohim who
delighteth in you, increase your welfare; but tell me truly why from amongst
all thy brethren dost thou wrangle with me on account of the lad, as none of
them have spoken one word to me concerning him. 57. and Judah answered Joseph,
saying, Surely thou must know that I was security for the lad to his father,
saying, If I brought him not unto him I should bear his blame forever.
58. Therefore have I approached thee from amongst all my
brethren, for I saw that thou wast unwilling to suffer him to go from thee; now
therefore may I find grace in thy sight that thou shalt send him to go with us,
and behold I will remain as a substitute
for him, to serve thee in whatever
thou desirest, for wheresoever thou shalt send me I will go to serve thee with
great energy…………………….
66.
and Joseph said unto his brethren, Surely you said that your brother was either
dead or lost, now if I should call him this day and he should come before you,
would you give him unto me instead of his brother? 67.
and Joseph began to speak and call out,
Joseph, Joseph, come this day before me, and appear to thy brethren and sit
before them. 68. and when Joseph spoke this thing before them, they looked each
a different way to see from whence Joseph would come before them. 69.
and Joseph observed all their acts, and said unto them, Why do you look here
and there? I am Joseph whom you sold to
Egypt, now therefore let it not grieve you that you sold me, for as a support during the famine did God
send me before you. 70. and his brethren were terrified at him when they
heard the words of Joseph, and Judah was exceedingly terrified at him. 71.
and when Benjamin heard the words of Joseph he was before them in the inner
part of the house, and Benjamin ran unto Joseph his brother, and embraced him
and fell upon his neck, and they wept. ....................
Yoseph tell his brothers verse 69
that it was Elohim who sent him
before to Egypt because of the famine to come. Can you imagine Yoseph's wisdom and mercy toward his
brothers? Twenty years’ time of his life, he couldn’t see his father and mother
and was living in a pagan world. In spite of that he was able to recognize the
hand of Elohim. Elohim had finish his work in Yoseph’s
life, the young and arrogant young man was vanished away, now the mature and
wise man, the pure vessel was there to be filled with יהוה’s presence. Can you also see
what Elohim is doing in our life, by
refining the vessel you are dwelling in? Are you like Yoseph patient in all your tribulation, can you recognize the hand
of יהוה
teaching you His way?
Zec 12:9 “And it shall be in that day that I seek to
destroy all the gentiles (nations/goyim) that come against Yerushalayim. Zec 12:10 “And I shall pour on the house of Daviḏ and
on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they
shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as bitterness over
the first-born. (Some text read: And they shall look upon Me because of Him (יהושע) whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him…)..............Many
from Benyamin are today in Eretz Israel (the land of Israel) and
follow יהושע. The day will come soon when יהוה will
bring the nations to surrender Yerushlayim
and will be destroyed. In that day Zecharayahu
will be fulfilled they will look upon יהוה and
mourn.
To understand the whole, we need to know the context
of this battle which will be in Yerushalayim.
The whole world today is looking at the Palestinians, in many countries they
are manifestations of people who go through the streets accusing Israel “to
kill” the Palestinians and to steal “their land”. Rulers of the world community
(U.N) try to put pressure on Israel in order to make “peace for land” with the wicked Hamas (in Hebrew the word "hamas" means "violence")
who have written in their charter (fundamental law) “Israel must be destroyed”.
Pagans do not know and do not understand that “their peace” do not come through
their leaders but through יהושע Messiah and all Israel been reunited. They are “blind
sheep” Today Yehudah (the Jews) accept
those from “Benyamin” as their
brethren but still reject יהושע as Messiah, they follow rather the doctrines of men,
the Rabbis.........Nothing has changed:
Mat 15:3 But He
answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of
your tradition? Mat 5:20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees
(Rabbis), you shall by no means enter into the reign of the
heavens. Mat 23:15 “Woe
to you, scribes and Pharisees (Rabbis), hypocrites! Because you go about the land and the sea to win one
convert, and when he is won, you make him a son of Gehenna twofold more
than yourselves. Messiah was warning the Yehudin (Jews) of his time of the danger to teach the tradition of
men instead of Torah (takanot, ma’asim,
gerezot). .Today the Yehudin follow the tradition and
instructions of men (Talmud) first
and go to the Rabbis instead to seek יהושע....
Beware do not think we are better and remain humble,
because it is יהוה’s will. The day will come when we will be again together. We
should pray for our brethren that we love one another, and as it is written in
the book of Yeshayahu, that Ephraim will not envy Yehudah and Yehudah will not trouble Ephraim:
Isa 11:12 and He shall raise a banner for the nations,
and gather the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl,
and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏah from the four corners of the
earth. Isa 11:13 and the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the
adversaries of Yehuḏah be cut off. Ephrayim
shall not envy Yehuḏah, and Yehuḏah
not trouble Ephrayim. .............
Chapter
45.
Now the time of reconciliation has come, Yoseph (Messiah) to make known himself
to his brothers. Read Rom: 11:25-26; Rom 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to
Israel, until the fullness of
the Gentiles (goyim/nations) be come in.
Rom
11:26 and so all Yisra’ĕl shall be saved, as
it has been written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Tsiyon, and He shall turn
away wickedness from Yaʽaqoḇ, . Do not read “gentiles” because the Greek word used in the Brit Chadasha is Strong’s # H1484 Etnos from H1486 Ethos
meaning “tribe”, “nation”. .....Gentile means: pagan, idolaters,
lawless people”. The Hebrew word is
“goy” meaning “a troop”, “foreign nation”.....This feed with
the context. “Gentiles" has been
put into the Hebrew and Greek translation to bring confusion to those who shall
not be saved. If you are in Messiah you are “Elohim Household”, “The House
of Ya’acov” (Luke 1:33, Eph. 2:19) no more stranger but fellow citizens with
the saints (Set apart Ones).....In
Roman Chapter 11, Sha’ul (Paul)
explains that “blindness” in part is
happened to Israel, in this case Yehudin
until the fullness of the “nations” or “tribes” (not gentiles);has come in
(into the covenant) and so all Israel (the all House of Ya’acov) will be saved. The Greek word for “Blindness” is quite interesting and gives a better picture or
understanding, let us look at it:............
Blindness:
Strong’s #4457 pōrōsis po'-ro-sis From G4456; stupidity
or callousness: -
blindness, hardness. G 4456:
Poroo, to petrify, that is,
(figuratively) to indurate (render stupid or callous):
- blind, harden. We see that it was the
heart attitude that renders the people “stupid”,
“to endure” יהוה’s anger, because they preferred
to follow the Rabbis traditions and doctrines.
Callousness = insensitivity,
heartlessness, cruelty. In the book of
Romans many Christians author have
speculated in vain because of the lack of Torah understanding, replacing Israel against the "church" which of course is heresy. I say it already and
repeat it, יהושע never came to create a new religion or a new entity but to
restore the all House of Israel unto יהוה
Rom 11:25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in
your own estimation, that hardening
in part has come over Yisra’ĕl, until the completeness of the gentiles1 has come in. Rom 11:26 and so all
Yisra’ĕl shall be saved………Who is the Israel Sha'ul is speaking? We need to go back
in the book of Romans to understand the context of his letter:
Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to YHWH for
Israel is that they might be saved. Rom 10:2 for
I bear them record that they have a zeal of YHWH, but not according to
knowledge. ..............
At this time, Yehudin
and those from the House of Israel,
Ephraim were separated, so that when Sha'ul
is saying Israel he speaks of the Yehudin living in Jerusalem thus brethren:
Rom 10:12 for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek* (read Hellen): for the same Sovereign over all is
rich unto all that call upon him.
*
The original Greek text speaks of Hellen
the inhabitant of Hellas and not of Greek,
so that this believers were not automatically Greek but were living in
Greece, this make a difference, they were from the lost tribes (nations)
scattered in the four corners of the earth.
Rom 11:1 I say then,
Hath YHWH cast away his people (the Jews)? By no means for I also am an
Israelite (a Jew), of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Of course Yehudah
is also part of Israel and it is why Sha'ul
says: "am an Israelite". The
tribe of Benjamin been since many centuries assimilated to the Yehudin; Jews are both Jew and Israelites while Ephramites are Israelites
from among the other Ten tribes; can you see the difference? You can be a Jew and be an Israelite but you can also be an Israelite without been a Jew just
because you belong to another tribe! Now we can understand what Sha'ul writes "
that hardening in part has come over Yisra’ĕl………….and
so all Yisra’ĕl shall be
saved
The hardening of the Yehudin (Israel) was יהוה doing in order for Ephraim the other part of Israel to come
back into the fold and so all
Israel shall be saved.........This is a teaching from the Brit Chadasha (N.T.): Joh
7:35 then said the Jews among themselves, Whither
will he go, that we shall not find him? will
he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles (nations), and teach the
Gentiles? Joh 10:16 and other sheep I have, which are not of this fold (the Jews): them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd. ...............
Remember in the last Parsha that Yoseph had
already made himself known to Benyamin
asking him to see in the map with the stars if he can recognize where is
brother is. The stars display everything and we all know that the wise men
coming to Herod had learned of the birth of Messiah seeing the star:
Psa 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of El; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psa 19:2
Day unto
day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Psa 19:3 there
is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Mat 2:7 Then Herodes,
having called the Magi(wise men) secretly, learned exactly from them what time the star appeared.
It is said that these wise men were shepherd watching
at their flock in the night and they were doing what was taught by the prophet
Daniel who knew the mystery of the stars. They watched the stars to see when
the conjuncture will be seen which confirm the birth of Messiah. During almost
500 years this tradition was taught from generation to generation until the
time of fulfilment came. Today people
get tired after some few years. Remember that Moshe learned from the
descendants of Noach who themselves knew Adam!
Gen 45:1 and Yosĕph was unable to restrain himself before all
those who stood by him, and he called out, “Have everyone go out from me!” So
no one stood with him while Yosĕph made himself known to his brothers.
Gen 45:2
and he wept aloud, and the Mitsrites and the house of Pharaoh heard it. Gen 45:3 and Yosĕph said to his brothers, “I am Yosĕph, is my
father still alive?” But his brothers were unable to answer him, for they trembled before him.
Gen 45:4
then Yosĕph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” And when they came
near, he said, “I am Yosĕph your brother, whom you sold into Mitsrayim. Gen 45:5 “And now, do not be grieved nor displeased with
yourselves because you sold me here, for
Elohim sent me before you to preserve life. ...............
Yoseph
(Messiah) is free from hatred because he knew that it was Elohim’s doing and plan to save Ya’acov
household from the famine. We know that the opening of the seal bring famine and
destruction to the world.
Gen 45:6
“For two years now the scarcity of food has been in the land, and there are
still five years in which there is neither ploughing nor harvesting. Gen 45:7 “And Elohim sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you
by a great escape. ................
6-7.
“Two years the scarcity of food has been
in the land” and “still five years in which there is neither ploughing nor
harvesting” but “Elohim sent me (Yoseph/Messiah) to preserve a remnant and give
life to you”!..............
This text is very amazing to me and if we dig in the
“sod” we will see the deep meaning. Yoseph
as a picture of Messiah “plays” his role to mark what will be in the future.
All his actions are a shadow of things to happen to the House of Ya’acov. If it is true that every man
can be save by coming to Messiah יהושע, they also must recognize
themselves to become part of Ya’acov
Household, in other words to become “Israelite”,
not “Christians” or “believers” but real
Israelites, because Elohim’s plan
is for His people, the descendants from Abraham,
Itzahk and Ya’acov, alone. Scarcity of
food is the Hebrew word “ra’ab”
meaning “famine” “hunger”. The
spiritual aspect is the lack of the Torah for Two thousand years. Yoseph (Messiah) says that it is Elohim
who has sent him to preserve a “remnant”,
Remnant:
strong’s #7611 she'êrîyth
sheh-ay-reeth' From H7604; a remainder
or residual (surviving, final)
portion: - that had escaped, be
left, posterity, remain (-der),
remnant, residue, rest.
The
famine of food is a picture of the scarcity of people following the Torah. Yoseph (Messiah) says that a remnant, a
remainder, those that escape will receive from him, Yoseph (Messiah).The 2000 thousand years are the time from the
first advent from יהושע up to his second advent. The five years represent the
time when the Torah (five books) will be restored to the all earth on the
seventh day. Verse 6: “Ploughing and
harvesting”: These two words have also their spiritual meanings which can
be seen in the Hebrew language.
Ploughing: Strong’s # H2758 חרישׁ chârîysh khaw-reesh' From
H2790; ploughing or its season: - earing (time), ground.
H2790:
chârash khaw-rash'
A primitive root; to
scratch, that is, (by implication) to engrave, plough; hence (from the use of tools) to fabricate
(of any material); figuratively to devise (in a bad sense); hence (from
the idea of secrecy) to be silent,
to let alone; hence
(by implication) to be deaf
(as an accompaniment of dumbness): - X
altogether, cease, conceal, be deaf, devise, ear, graven,
imagine, leave off speaking, hold
peace, plow (-er, -man), be quiet,
rest, practise secretly, keep silence, be silent, speak not a word, be still, hold
tongue, worker.
Harvesting: Strong’s
#7105 קציר qâtsîyr kaw-tseer' From
H7114; severed,
that is, harvest (as reaped), the crop, the time, the reaper, or figuratively; also a limb
(of a tree, or simply foliage): - bough, branch, harvest (man).
H7114:
qâtsar kaw-tsar' A primitive
root; to dock off, that is, curtail
(transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively); especially to harvest
(grass or grain): - X at all, cut down, much discouraged, grieve, harvestman,
lothe, mourn, reap (-er), (be, wax) short (-en, -er), straiten, trouble, vex. Verse
6 Yospeh is saying that during
the coming five years there will silence,
leave off speaking the word, be quiet,
speak not the word and hold the tongue
therefore people will be discouraged and troubled...............
Amos 8:11 told us that the last
famine will be to hear the Torah! The Hebrew word for famine is the same word “ra’ab”.
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Sovereign
YHWH, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water, but of hearing the words
of YHWH:
The last two thousand years under Messiah יהושע, he will keep a remnant until the time he will come back to
establish the Kingdom of the Father. Read:
Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and His own (the Jews) did not receive Him. Joh 1:12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave
the authority to become children of Elohim, to those believing in His Name, Joh 1:13 who were born, neither of blood nor of the desire neither
of flesh nor of the desire of man, but of Elohim. Joh 3:17 “For Elohim did not send His Son into the
world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved........
A
remnant:
Rom 9:27 and Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of
Yisra’ĕl, “Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the
sea, the remnant shall be saved. Rom 11:5 So therefore also, at this
present time a remnant
according to the choice of favour has come to be. Rev 12:17
and the dragon (HaSatan) was enraged with
the woman, and he went to fight with the
remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the
witness of יהושע Messiah. ……Gen 45:8 “So then, you
did not send me here, but Elohim. and He has set me for a father to
Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and
a ruler throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. .............
Read and compare:
Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given
Him the Name which is above every name, Php 2:10 that at the
Name of יהושע every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, Eph 1:20 which He (יהוה) wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the
heavenlies,
Eph 1:21
far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is
named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Eph
1:22 and He (יהוה) put all under His feet, and
gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly,
Eph 1:23
which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.
Gen 45:9 “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus
says your son Yosĕph, “Elohim has made
me master of all Mitsrayim. Come
down to me, do not delay. Gen 45:10 “And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and be near to me, you and your children, your
children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. Gen 45:11 “And I
shall provide for you there, lest you and your household, and all that
you have, come to poverty, because five years of scarcity of food are still to
come.” ’ .................
Spiritual
interpretation verse 10-11: "you shall dwell in the land of Goshem".
The place was chosen for the folds of Ya'acov's
children. Goshem was a place in the
lower place of Egypt east of the Nile with abundant pasturage.
The word Goshem means:
"draw near" Messiah will feed " provide for you there", those who believe in him “draw near to him” with Torah during the
last Famine mentioned in Amos 8:11. ...............
Gen 45:12
“And look, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Binyamin see that it is my
mouth that speaks to you. Gen 45:13
“And you shall inform my father of all my esteem (glory) in Mitsrayim, and of
all that you have seen. And you shall hurry and bring my father down here.” Gen 45:14 and he fell on his brother Binyamin’s neck and wept,
and Binyamin wept on his neck. Gen 45:15
and he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers
spoke with him. Gen 45:16
and the report of it was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers
of Yosĕph have come.” And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of
his servants.
A
thought: bring my
father down here (verse13), if we read in the Brit Chadasha (N.T) we see when the Father comes down: .....
Rev 21:3 and I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and he will dwell with
them, and they shall be his people, and YHWH
himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim. Rev
21:22 and I saw no temple therein: for YHWH
El-Shaddai and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev
21:23 and the city
had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of YHWH did lighten it,
and the Lamb is the light thereof.
........................
Remember the Torah is a progressive revelation which will be completed when
we will live in the presence of יהוה and יהושע
17-28. Yoseph (Messiah) send his brothers
including Benyamin to get his father (Ya’acov)'s Household. Remember in Roman
11 Sha'ul say that ALL Israel will be
saved. ...........To Benyamin verse 22 Yospeh (Messiah) gives three hundred pieces of silver and five
changes of garments. Silver is a picture of redemption and the five garments
are garments of holiness through the Torah represented by the number five which
include “mercy”. Gen 45:17 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Say to your brothers,
‘Do this: Load your beasts and go, enter the land of Kenaʽan,
Gen 45:18
and take your father and your households
and come to me, and I give you the best of the land of Mitsrayim,
and you eat the fat of the land. ..................
During centuries and even more the descendants of Ya’acov have been blessed in the world,
they have received the “best of Mitsrayim”
(the world) even without been aware of it. Now because of rebellion they
receive the curse and only a remnant will be saved. Have you not heard many believers saying that
because we are in Messiah we are “blessed people” and we will receive all
blessing? What about what Moshe told
the Children of Israel:
Deu 30:1 and it shall come to pass, when
all these things are come upon thee,the
blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call
them to mind among all the nations, whither YHWH thy Elohim hath driven thee,
Deu
30:2 and
shalt return unto YHWH thy Elohim,
and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; Deu 30:3 that then YHWH thy Elohim will turn thy captivity, and have compassion
upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither YHWH
thy Elohim hath scattered thee. Deu 30:4 if any of thine be driven out unto
the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will YHWH thy Elohim gather thee, and from thence
will he fetch thee: Deu 30:5 and YHWH thy
Elohim will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou
shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Deu 30:6 and YHWH thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart, and
the heart of thy seed, to love YHWH thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, that thou mayest live. …………….
Moshe
says that A) blessings, B) curses will come upon the Children of Israel when they are in
captivity (scattered in the four corners of the earth)……………..
Are we blessed today? Yes but read our blessing:
Eph 1:3 blessed be the Elohim and Father
of our Master Yehoshua the Messiah, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in the Messiah:
Can you see where our blessings are? In the heavenly
places in the Messiah!
Does this mean that there is no blessing on earth for יהוה’ people?
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and
I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be
full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. Php 4:19 but my Elohim shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by the Messiah Yehoshua.
Gen 45:19 ‘and you, you have been commanded, do this: Take
wagons out of the land of Mitsrayim for your little ones and your wives. And
you shall bring your father, and come. Gen 45:20 ‘And do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Mitsrayim is
yours.’ ”
Gen
45:21 and the
sons of Yisra’ĕl did so. And Yosĕph gave them wagons, according to the command
of Pharaoh, and he gave them food for the journey. Gen 45:22 He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of
garments, but to Binyamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five
changes of garments.
Gen 45:23
and he sent to his father this: ten donkeys loaded with the best
of Mitsrayim, and ten female donkeys
loaded with grain, and bread, and food for his father for the journey.
19-23. Yoseph (Messiah)
send food to all his family out of Egypt (the world system). Nowadays Messiah
is feeding us also spiritually in our exile in Egypt (world system). Yoseph sent food to his Father in Canaan
which is Israel today.
Gen 45:24
So he sent his brothers away, and they left. And he said to them, “Do not quarrel along the way.”
“do
not quarrel along the way” has been translated in the King James with “fall out
by the way” this is an allusion of rejecting Messiah the Hebrew word for “quarrel” or “fall out”
is “ragaz”
meaning: to be perturbed, to excite oneself,. Rejecting Messiah and turning
back to the tradition of the “Jews”:
Heb 10:26 for if we sin purposely after we
have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a
slaughter offering for sins, Heb
10:27 but some fearsome
anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the
opponents. Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of
Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. Heb 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think
shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the
blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the
Spirit of favour? Heb 10:30 For we know Him
who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And
again, “יהוה shall judge His people.” Heb 10:31 It is fearsome to
fall into the hands of the living Elohim. Heb 10:32 but remember the
former days, when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle
with sufferings. Heb 10:33 On the one hand you were exposed to
reproaches and pressures, and on the other hand you became sharers with those
who were so treated,
Gen 45:25 and they went up out of Mitsrayim, and came to the land of Kenaʽan to Yaʽaqoḇ
their father. Gen 45:26 and they told him, saying, “Yosĕph is still alive,
and he is governor over all the land of Mitsrayim.” And Yaʽaqoḇ’s heart
ceased, for he did not believe them. Gen 45:27 but when they spoke to him all the words which Yosĕph
had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons which Yosĕph had sent to
transport him, the spirit of Yaʽaqoḇ their father revived. Gen 45:28 and Yisra’ĕl said, “Enough! My son Yosĕph is still
alive. Let me go and see him before I die.” ...................
25-28. All who have seen Yoseph (Messiah) go back to Canaan (Eretz Israel) to spread the good news: Yoseph (Messiah) is alive! Can you see
the double meaning here when the talmidin
proclaimed having see יהושע: Mat 28:8 and they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His taught ones. Mat 28:9 and as they were going to report to His taught ones,
see, יהושע met them, saying, “Greetings!”
And they came and held Him by the feet and did bow to Him. Mat 28:10 then יהושע said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go, report to My brothers, to go
to Galil, and they shall see Me
there.”
Chapter 46. Ya’acov (Israel) and the remnant of
the family go all to Mitzrayim
(Egypt, world system) to be fed by Yoseph
(Messiah). This is a picture of the Millennium when Messiah will be King over
all the earth and has gathered all the children of Israel unto himself
(Matt.24:29-31).
Verse 26
Ya’acov left Canaan they were sixty
six. We can say: 66= 6X10 + 6 or 6X11.....Six is the number of man. Ten the
number for the sum of all number, designating a complete whole, representing
the whole direction which Elohim
exercise. Testimony as the Way, the Word (dabar) as Ten Commandments. Those who
have the Testimony of יהוה, (Those that know the way). (Greg Killian)... 11 is the number for Judgment,
disorder, or a location of judgment......We know that all Israel will be judge
during his exile in the four corners of the world.
1Pe 4:17 because it is time for judgment to begin from the
House of Elohim. And if firstly from us, what is the end of those who do
not obey the Good News of Elohim? 2Th 1:4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the
assemblies of Elohim for your endurance and belief in all your persecutions and afflictions which you are bearing,
2Th 1:5 clear
evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim, in order for you to be
counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer, Gen 46:1
and Yisra’ĕl set out with all that he had, and came to Be’ĕrsheḇa, and brought
offerings to the Elohim of his father Yitsḥaq. Gen 46:2 and Elohim
spoke to Yisra’ĕl in the visions of the night, and said, “Yaʽaqoḇ,
Yaʽaqoḇ!” And he said, “Here I am.” Gen 46:3 And He said, “I am the Ěl, Elohim of your father. Do
not be afraid to go down to Mitsrayim, for I shall make you there into a great nation.
Gen 46:4
“I Myself am going down with you to
Mitsrayim and I Myself shall
certainly bring you up again. and let Yosĕph put his hand on your eyes.” ..............Can
you see the hint in these words to what יהוה has done with יהושע Messiah?...............;Eze 34:11
for thus saith the Master YHWH; Behold, I,
even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. Eze 34:12 as
a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my
sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been
scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Eze 34:13 and
I will bring them out from the people,
and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and
feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited
places of the country. Eze 34:14 I
will feed them in a good pasture, and upon
the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a
good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. Eze 34:15 I will feed my
flock, and I
will cause them to lie down, saith the
Master YHWH. Eze 34:16 I
will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and
will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick:
but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. Eze 34:17 and
as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Master YHWH; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
goats. Eze 34:18 Seemeth
it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread
down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep
waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? Eze 34:19 and
as for my flock, they eat that which
ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with
your feet. Eze 34:20 Therefore
thus saith the Master YHWH unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean
cattle.
Eze 34:21
because
ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with
your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;Eze 34:22 Therefore will I
save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between
cattle and cattle. Eze 34:23 and
I will set up one shepherd over them,
and he shall feed them, even my
servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Eze 34:24
and I YHWH will be their Elohim, and my servant David a prince among them; I
YHWH have spoken it..........Is it not what יהושע was saying? Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Joh 10:15 as
the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for
the sheep. Joh 10:16 and
other sheep I have, which are not of
this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one
shepherd. Joh 10:17 Therefore
doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Can you see how יהושע was sent by the Father to be the
shepherd over His flock and to feed them? Is no יהושע called "son of David"?
Gen 46:5 and Yaʽaqoḇ rose up from Be’ĕrsheḇa and the sons of
Yisra’ĕl brought their father Yaʽaqoḇ, and their little ones, and their wives,
in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to transport him. Gen 46:6 and they took their livestock and their property
which they had acquired in the land of Kenaʽan, and came into Mitsrayim,
Yaʽaqoḇ and all his seed with him.
Gen 46:7
His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his
seed he brought with him to Mitsrayim. Gen 46:8 and these were
the names of the children of Yisra’ĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ and his sons, who came into
Mitsrayim: Re’uḇĕn was Yaʽaqoḇ’s
first-born. Gen 46:9 and the sons
of Re’uḇĕn: Ḥanoḵ, and Pallu, and Ḥetsron, and Karmi. Gen 46:10 and the sons of Shimʽon: Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin, and
Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul, son of a Kenaʽanite woman. Gen 46:11 and the sons
of Lĕwi: Gĕreshon, Qehath, and Merari. Gen 46:12 and the sons
of Yehuḏah: Ěr, and Onan, and Shĕlah, and Perets, and Zeraḥ – but Ěr and
Onan died in the land of Kenaʽan. And the sons of Perets were Ḥetsron and
Ḥamul. Gen
46:13 and the sons of Yissasḵar: Tola, and
Puwʽah, and Yoḇ, and Shimron. Gen 46:14
and the sons of Zeḇulun: Sereḏ,
and Ělon, and Yaḥle’ĕl. Gen 46:15 these were
the sons of Lĕ’ah, whom she bore to Yaʽaqoḇ in Paddan Aram, with his
daughter Dinah. All the beings, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three. Gen 46:16 and the sons
of Gaḏ: Tsiphyon and Ḥaggi, Shuni and Etsbon, Ěri and Aroḏi, and Arĕli.
Gen 46:17
and the sons of Ashĕr: Yimnah, and
Yishwah, and Yishwi, and Beriʽah, and Seraḥ, their sister. And the sons of
Beriʽah: Ḥeḇer and Malki’ĕl. Gen 46:18 these were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laḇan
gave to Lĕ’ah his daughter. And these she bore to Yaʽaqoḇ: sixteen beings. Gen 46:19 the sons of
Raḥĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ’s wife: Yosĕph and Binyamin.
Gen 46:20
and to Yosĕph in the land of
Mitsrayim were born Menashsheh and Ephrayim, whom Asenath, the daughter
of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. Gen 46:21 and the sons
of Binyamin: Belah, and Beḵer, and Ashbĕl, Gĕra and Naʽaman, Ěḥi and
Rosh, Muppim and Ḥuppim, and Ard. Gen 46:22 These were
the sons of Raḥĕl who were born to Yaʽaqoḇ: fourteen beings in all. Gen 46:23 and the son of
Dan: Ḥushim. Gen 46:24
and the sons of Naphtali:
Yaḥtse’ĕl, and Guni, and Yĕtser, and Shillĕm. Gen 46:25 these were
the sons of Bilhah, whom Laḇan gave to Raḥĕl his daughter, and she
bore these to Yaʽaqoḇ: seven beings in all. Gen 46:26 all the beings
who went with Yaʽaqoḇ to Mitsrayim, who came from his body, besides
Yaʽaqoḇ’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six
beings in all. Gen 46:27 and the sons
of Yosĕph who were born to him in Mitsrayim were two beings. All the beings
of the house of Yaʽaqoḇ who went to
Mitsrayim were seventy. Yoseph’s sons were born in Egypt:
1Pe 1:1 Kĕpha, an
emissary of יהושע Messiah, to the chosen, strangers of the dispersion in
Pontos, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia, (World system) 1Pe 1:18 knowing that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from
your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold, 1Pe 1:19 but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb
unblemished and spotless, 1Pe 2:9 but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the
praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light, 1Pe 2:10 who once were not a people, but now the people of
Elohim; who had not obtained compassion, but now obtained compassion.........
Verse
2:9 fulfilment of Sh’mot
19:5-6.....
Verse
2:10.The reverse from Hoshea
chapter 1:9.........
Gen 46:28 and he sent Yehuḏah before him to Yosĕph, to point
out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen. Gen 46:29 and Yosĕph
made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Yisra’ĕl. and
he appeared to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a long time. Gen 46:30 and Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Now let me die, since I
have seen your face, that you are still alive.” ................
Yoseph “went up to Goshem” The word “Goshem” in Hebrew means:” drawing
near”. We see that After Yoseph
has made himself known to his brethren, he take a step to go toward his Father
(a picture of the all House of Ya’acov). Once Messiah has started to make
himself known to the renewed Benyamin,
he also will “draw near” to the whole
House of Ya’acov!
Gen 46:31
and Yosĕph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I am going up to inform Pharaoh, and
say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land
of Kenaʽan, have come to me. Gen 46:32
‘And the men are shepherds, that they have been men of livestock, and they have
brought their flocks and their herds, and all that they have.’ Gen 46:33 “And it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says,
‘What is your occupation?’ Gen 46:34
that you shall say, ‘Your servants have
been men of livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our
fathers,’ so that you dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an
abomination to the Mitsrites.”
Verse 34.
Egyptian considered Shepherd as an abomination. The Hebrew word for Shepherd is
the word “ra’ah” and means “pastor” “shearing house, wander,
to tend a flock, the flock of Elohim. People from the world are more interested
to eat “pork” as to look for sheep grazing grass which represent the word of Elohim and meditation. From grazing
grass comes the white milk which is the picture also of the pure word of the
Torah.
1Co 3:2 I fed
you with milk and not with solid
food, for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still
not able,
1Pe 2:2 as
newborn babes, desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, in order that you grow by it,
Porks eat everything they are called “omnivore”
meaning “eating everything” feeding
on all doctrines of the world bringing
death. Today in west countries, people deny the scriptures but feed on doctrines of demons: Buddhism, Humanism, some turn to other
religions honour the Daly Lama go to India for so call "meditation"
among the "Gurus" and the list is endless................
Chapter
47 : During
the “Millennium” age of Messiah,
those who today live a “Qadosh” (Set
Apart) life will feed the flock of Elohim
and the people of the world will come and “sell”
themselves to Messiah יהושע in order to live. They will be taught to keep the Torah and the
Feast of יהוה:
Isa
66:23 “And it shall
be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה. Isa 66:24 “And they shall go
forth and look upon the corpses of the
men who have transgressed against Me1 for their worm shall not die and their fire not be quenched and they
shall be repulsive to all flesh!”………..
Zec 14:16 and it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles (nations) which came up
against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the
Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths. Zec 14:17 and it shall be, that if anyone of the clans of the earth does
not come up to Yerushalayim to bow
himself to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, on them there is to be
no rain. Zec 14:18 and if the clan of Mitsrayim does not come up and enter
in, then there is no rain. On
them is the plague with which יהוה plagues the gentiles (nations)
who do not come up to observe the Festival of Booths. Zec 14:19 this is the punishment of Mitsrayim, and
the punishment of all the gentiles
(nations) that do not come up to observe the Festival of Booths………..
We see that the prophet Zecharayahu make a difference between Egyptians (Mitzrayim) and the Gentiles? In that day Elohim (here Pharaoh verse 6 from chapter 47) will give the best
place to His people represented here by the land of Goshen “drawn near”.
Gen 47:1
Then Yosĕph went and spoke to Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers,
their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land
of Kenaʽan. And see, they are in the land of Goshen.” Gen 47:2 and he took five men from among his brothers and
presented them to Pharaoh. ........Gen 47:3 and Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your
occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your
servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.” Gen 47:4 and they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to dwell in
the land, because there is no pasture for your servant’s flocks, for the
scarcity of food is severe in the land of Kenaʽan and now, please let your
servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” Gen 47:5 and Pharaoh spoke to Yosĕph, saying, “Your father and
your brothers have come to you. Gen 47:6
“The land of Mitsrayim is before you. Settle
your father and brothers in the best of the land, let them dwell in the land
of Goshen. And if you know of capable men among them, then make them
chief herdsmen over my livestock.” Gen 47:7 and Yosĕph brought in his father Yaʽaqoḇ and set him
before Pharaoh. And Yaʽaqoḇ blessed Pharaoh. Gen 47:8 and Pharaoh said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “How old are you?” Gen 47:9 and Yaʽaqoḇ said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years
of my sojournings are one hundred and
thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and
they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days
of their sojournings.” Gen 47:10
and Yaʽaqoḇ blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Gen 47:11
So Yosĕph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in
the land of Mitsrayim, in the best of the land, in the land of Raʽmeses, as
Pharaoh had commanded. Gen 47:12
and Yosĕph provided his father, and his brothers, and all his father’s
household with bread for the mouth of the little ones. Gen 47:13 Now there was
no bread in all the land, because the scarcity of food was very severe, and
the land of Mitsrayim and all the land of Kenaʽan became exhausted from the
scarcity of food. Gen 47:14
and Yosĕph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Mitsrayim
and in the land of Kenaʽan, for the grain which they bought. And Yosĕph brought
the silver into Pharaoh’s house. Gen 47:15 and when the silver was all spent in the land of
Mitsrayim and in the land of Kenaʽan, all the Mitsrites came to Yosĕph and
said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the silver is
gone!”
Gen 47:16
and Yosĕph said, “Give your livestock, and I give you bread for your livestock,
if the silver is gone.” Gen 47:17 so they brought their livestock to Yosĕph, and Yosĕph
gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks they owned, and
for the herds they owned, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in
exchange for all their livestock that year. Gen 47:18 and when that year had ended, they came to him the
next year and said to him, “We do not hide from my master that our silver is
all spent, and my master also has the livestock we owned. There has not any
been left before my master but our bodies and our lands. Gen 47:19 “Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our
land? Buy us and our land for bread, and let us and our land be servants of
Pharaoh. And give us seed, and let us
live and not die, and let the land not lie waste.” Gen 47:20 and Yosĕph
bought the entire land of Mitsrayim for Pharaoh, because every man of
the Mitsrites sold his field, because the scarcity of food was severe upon
them. And the land came to be Pharaoh’s. Gen 47:21 and as for the people, he moved them into the cities,
from one end of the borders of Mitsrayim to the other end. Gen 47:22 only the
ground of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had portions allotted to
them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portions which Pharaoh gave them.
Therefore they did not sell their ground. ...........................20. This is a picture of Messiah who finished the work for the
Father:
Joh 4:34 יהושע said to them, “My food is to do the
desire of Him who sent Me, and to
accomplish His work.
Joh 17:4 “I have
esteemed You on the earth, having
accomplished the work You have given Me that I should do.
22. We
see here an allusion during the Millennium for those who will be called to be
priest unto יהוה:
Rev 5:9 and they sang a
renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its
seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out
of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,Rev 5:10 and made us sovereigns
(Kings) and priests to our
Elohim,
and we shall reign upon the earth.”1
Gen 47:23
and Yosĕph said to the people, “Look, I have bought you and your land today for
Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
Gen 47:24
“And it shall be that in the harvest you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. And
four-fifths is your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of
your households and as food for your little ones.”
Gen 47:25
and they said, “You have saved our lives. Let us find favour in the eyes of my
master, and we shall become Pharaoh’s servants.”
Gen 47:26
and Yosĕph made it a law over the land of Mitsrayim to this day, that Pharaoh
should have one-fifth, except for the ground of the priests only, which did not
become Pharaoh’s.
Gen 47:27
and Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim, in the land of Goshen. And they had possessions there and bore
fruit and increased exceedingly.
23-27. The
all earth shall be יהוה’s in this account represented by Pharaoh.”the G-d” of the earth.
In Yoseph
time Pharaoh represent “God on earth”.
Elohim the Hebrew word means “ruler,
judge” This ruler tolerated the children of Israel and we will see that when Yoseph died, another Pharaoh will raise
who do not know Yoseph, he will reign
over Egypt and hate and oppress יהוה’s people, the same way as it is
today.
יהוהwill send a “Saviour” in the person of Moshe who is also a type of Messiah, to deliver his people and bring them to the promise
land. Today this deliverance will come when יהושע comes
back to establish יהוה’s Kingdom on earth and bring his followers to enter it. The
greatest Exodus from all time will be seen.Yoseph
bought the people and the land for Pharaoh
(47:23):------
Psa 24:1 the earth is YHWH's, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Haftorah
Today’s Haftorah
come from the mouth of Yechezk’el who
proclaim the time when the House of Yehudah
and the House of Ephraim the seed of Yoseph will be brought back in the same
Olive tree. Nothing will be able to stop what יהוה
has proclaimed by the mouth of the prophets. יהושע says: I am come but for the children of Israel,
you and me, who have been grafted back into the Olive tree by the blood of
Messiah and obedience to the Torah.
No more two nations but ONE and the all world will
soon know who you are and will bow before the King of Kings. Today they
still boast of their “power”, soon this power will disappear and the whole world
will cry!
Eze 37:15 and the word of יהוה came to me, saying, Eze 37:16 “And you, son of man, take a
stick for yourself and write on it, ‘For
Yehuḏah and for the children of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Then take
another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosĕph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for
all the house of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Eze 37:17 “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall
become one in your hand. Eze 37:18 “And when the children of your
people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’Eze 37:19 say to them, ‘Thus said the
Master יהוה, “See, I am
taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of
Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of
Yehuḏah, and make them one stick,
and they shall be one in My hand.” ’
Eze 37:20 “And the sticks on which you
write shall be in your hand before their eyes. Eze 37:21 “And speak to them, ‘Thus said
the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the children of Yisra’ĕl from
among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and shall gather them from all
around, and I shall bring them into
their land. Eze 37:22 “And I shall make them one
nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be
sovereign over them all, and let them
no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two
reigns. Eze 37:23 “And they shall
no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their
transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which
they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be My people, and I
be their Elohim, Eze 37:24 while Dawiḏ My servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all
have one shepherd and walk in My right-rulings and guard My laws, and shall do
them. Eze 37:25 “And they shall
dwell in the land that I have given to Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, where your
fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their
children’s children, forever,
and My servant Dawiḏ be their prince forever.Eze 37:26 “And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting covenant it
is with them. And I shall place them and increase them, and shall place My
set-apart place in their midst, forever. …………Read: Rev 21:3
and I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them,
and they shall be His people, and Elohim
Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. Eze 37:27 “And My Dwelling Place shall be
over them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. Eze 37:28 “And the gentile (nations)s shall know that I, יהוה, am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when My set-apart place is in
their midst – forever.” ’ ”Luk 6:9 then יהושע said to
them, “I ask you, is it right to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil, to save
life or to destroy it?” Luk 6:10 and looking around at them all,
He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was
restored sound as the other. Luk 6:11 But they were filled with folly,
and were speaking with one another what they should do to יהושע. Luk 6:12 and in those days it came to be
that He went out to the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in prayer
to Elohim.
Luk 6:13 and when it became day, He called near His taught ones and chose from them
twelve, whom He also named emissaries: Luk 6:14 Shimʽon whom He also named
Kĕpha, and his brother Andri, Yaʽaqoḇ and Yoḥanan, Philip and Bartholomi, Luk 6:15 Mattithyahu and T’oma, Yaʽaqoḇ
the son of Alphai and Shimʽon,
the one called the Ardent One (Iscariot), …………….Are you
also among the “emissaries” to speak
the truth every time יהוה gives you the opportunity? Soon it will be too late, people’s heart will
be seal and they will be doomed. Now it is still time to speak with boldness.
Show yourself a good “emissary” (sent one) and pray for boldness to speak
whenever and wherever the opportunity is given you. May יהוה bless you as you keep the way
following the steps of Messiah יהושע
