Daniel ben Ya'acov Israel
We have now left behind the first part of the Torah,
the book of the Beginning (B’reshit).
It is with "B'reshit" (the
Beginning) that all started. We need to know the transition between the
book of B’reshit and the book of Sh’mot (Exodus) in order to understand
and be able to see the “sod” (mystery,
deep meaning) revealed in our days. Once again we are going to dig in the book
of Yasher who will help us to
understand.
The book of Sh’mot
heralds the birth of Moshe who will be יהוה’s hand to
deliver the children of Israel from the bondage of Mitsrayim (Egypt). .......
Children
of Israel = all the twelve children of Ya’acov and their descendants more numerous as the sand of the sea...............
Gen 32:9 And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “O Elohim of my father Aḇraham
and Elohim of my father Yitsḥaq, יהוה who said to me, ‘Return to your
land and to your relatives, and I do good to you,’ Gen 32:10 “I do not deserve the least of
all the kind acts and all the truth which You have shown Your servant, for I
passed over this Yardĕn with my staff, and now I have become two groups.
Gen 32:11 “Deliver me, I pray, from the
hand of my brother, from the hand of Ěsaw, for I fear him, lest he come and
shall smite me and the mother with the children. Gen 32:12 “For You said, ‘I shall
certainly do good to you, and shall make
your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ”
This promise was made to Ya’acov as a confirmation of the promise done to Abraham by יהוה.....Gen 22:17 that I shall certainly bless you (Abraham), and I shall certainly
increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess
the gate of their enemies.
יהוה Elohim
fulfil always his promises even when it take time like
here centuries. Everything comes “in His time”! The book of "B'reshit" gave us the account
of creation, not only the account of creation but also the overall plan of
salvation and time frame for mankind to bring this plan to fruition in its
different steps. Too often have Christians
and others scholars neglected to dig behind the letter in order to see what יהוה has
prepared before the creation in order that his Name will be glorify and all men
be made liars before him who do not believe in his Word. What does the scriptures says about science?
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to
thy trust, avoiding profane and vain
babblings, and oppositions of science
falsely so called:
1Ti 6:21
which
some professing have erred concerning the faith. Favour be with thee. .
.Sha'ul (Paul) tells clearly Timothy to keep himself from so called science because he knew that the truth is the Torah.
The science as spoken by Sh'aul is not as we understand the word today, here the explanation
from ISBE:
world,
directly and immediately, without the intervention of any secondary laws.
“Science” in the modern sense of the word, as the discovery and orderly
classification and exposition of the phenomena and of the laws of Nature, is
not found either in the Old Testament or the New Testament unless the passage
in Daniel be interpreted as meaning the scientific knowledge which the learned
men of Babylon possessed of mathematics and astronomy, etc. See also Act_7:22. To the Hebrew
mind all natural phenomena meant the working of the hand of God in the
world,
directly and immediately, without the intervention of any secondary laws.
“Science”
is the translation of the Greek "gnōsis",
which in the New Testament is usually rendered “knowledge.” The science here referred to was a higher knowledge of doctrine and divine things, which false teachers
alleged that they possessed, and of which they boasted. It was an incipient
form of Gnosticism, and it prevailed to a considerable extent in the assemblies
of proconsular Asia, e.g. in Colosse and Ephesus .
Timothy is put on his guard against the teaching of this "gnosis" falsely so called, for
it set itself in opposition to the gospel.
Science: Srong's # G1108 γνῶσις gnōsis gno'-sis................From
G1097; knowing
(the act), that is, (by implication) knowledge:
- knowledge, science. G1097;
ginōskō ghin-oce'-ko
A
prolonged form of a primary verb; to
“know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many
implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): -
allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can
speak, be sure, understand
Are not today all these false Pastors, teachers, and
prophets from Christianity claiming
to have receive "higher
knowledge" (Gnosis), boasting about revelation, and rejecting the
Torah? It is amazing that TV programs show so much concerning the so call "scientist researches", having
all the same purpose: To try to explain in a rational way that what the Bible tells is due to man tradition,
myths, and belief brought by the traditions of the elders having nothing to do
with reality. Is it not the work of the Anti-Messiah
trying to remove the truth of the scriptures by their alleged presumptions?
It doesn't matter how the Torah came to
us, because יהוה knows how to bring his "dabar" (Word) to us. He knew
what will be and how the enemy (HaSatan) would
try to bring confusion among יהוה's people.
Today we have the fulfilment of יהושע's words:
Luk 18:8………………….Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Mat 7:13 enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is
the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Mat 7:14 because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
In these two verses יהושע speaks
words of perplexity "shall he find
faith on the earth" and "few
there be that find the way"!
......Today many profess to believe "G-d"
in a certain way, especially among all Christian
denominations; the same is to be found among the Muslim and even in Judaism. The
common point between these three forms of belief is the belief in one G-d but by their works, deny his
power. I don't mention all the
religions having many g-ds which of course are idolatry. Today we find ourselves in the same cycle as
it was under Moshe as we are going to
see in this parsha (portion). The
world today reflects the same situation as it was under Moshe. We need to dig in order to see. I will help you see
something which not so many have seen. At the time Pharaoh increase pressure on the Children of Israel it was after the last son of Ya'acov die. The Book of Yasher brings testimony of the account. Today the modern "Pharaoh" of the world is called "The Anti-Messiah" or "opposite to Messiah" and reigns over the all world. Today's
recipe is "more work for more
money" (President Nicolas Sarkosy, France). People are suffering
loaded under more and more taxes making their own "bricks" without "straw"
while those from the Governments are living in opulence and spend money with
the leaders of this world, no matter if they are communist, socialist, or from
the right wings, they all have the same G-d
"Mammon"!
Today all Apostles
have followed our Adon (Master) יהושע waiting
for the appointed time to come back with him to establish יהוה's Kingdom.
In the collective mind, many errors have been constrain by HaSatan using a powerful tool "false theology", but thanks
be to our Elohim יהוה Zebaoth who
according to his own purpose open the understanding of some of his children
through Messiah יהושע in order
to bring those from Ya'acov Household to
the right path. Repetition is obligatory in cycle:
Luk 24:44 and he (יהושע) said unto them, these are the words which
I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the Torah of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
psalms, concerning me. Luk 24:45
then
(after having spoken these words) opened
he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
There was a need for יהושע to open the
understanding of the talmidin (disciples).
Today we also need to get our understanding to get open in order to leave the
doctrines of men and learn in the Torah what יהוה want us to
know. I have heard from fellow brothers who keep the Shabbat and the Feast,
saying that we don't have need any more to learn Torah! What a pity it is when we see how the all world is walking
after the Anti-Messiah looking for Hedonism (to satisfy the desire of the
flesh) and for humanitarianism. Humanitarianism:
The doctrine that man's obligations are
limited to, and dependent alone
upon, man and the human relations. Also
the distinctive tenet (doctrine, dogma) of the humanitarians in denying the
divinity of Messiah; also, the whole system of doctrine based upon this view of
Messiah....If you give ear, you will hear many times in TV people speaking
of Humanity, "what to do for the all humanity",
"how to get food for humanity", "how to save Humanity from
plagues" and the list is long. Behind these words we see tremendous
increase of poverty, lack of food, explosion of price for daily food………….
If we can understand the Torah, we will get our eyes
open and see what marvellous work יהוה is doing in
our days. What does the Word says?
Hab 2:4 behold, his soul which is lifted up is not
upright in him: but the just shall live
by his faith. Sha'ul (Paul) explains
what is faith:
Heb 11:1 now faith
is the substance (confidence) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Substance:
Strong's# G5287 ὑπόστασις hupostasis hoop-os'-tas-is From a compound
of G5259 and G2476; a setting under (support), that
is, (figuratively) concretely essence,
or abstractly assurance
(objectively or subjectively): - confidence,
confident, person, substance............
Evidence: Strong's # G1650 ἔλεγχος elegchos el'-eng-khos From G1651; proof, conviction: - evidence, reproof.
Where these assurance
and proof are; is it not in יהושע's resurrection which יהוה displayed in the face of the all world?We
will see in this first parsha Sh'mot
(Exodus) what happened to our forefathers and how it is in its substance
fully connected to our today' situation. To be able to see this fact, we need
to ask the right questions and see and understand יהושע' work.
1. What
did יהושע?
2. At
what time did יהושע came?
3. What
was the first purpose of his work?
4. Was
he not the prophet announced by Yehowah?
5. What
was the deliverance brought by יהושע at his first advent?
6. What
will be the deliverance at his second
advent?
If we can answer these few questions, we will get a
better understanding and no fall into the trap of man's doctrine.
Many years I followed man's doctrines because of
ignorance. After years of bondage, I gave myself to search the Word and to meditation with prayer, asking our heavenly Father for the right
understanding. This is I am convinced the only way to get the right
understanding. Please don't misunderstand me, I don't say that it is wrong to
read from others brothers so as you may read from me right now, I am not so
pretentious, in many of my text I have mentioned names of brothers who were
good help to discover the truth before I could walk following the Ruach HaQodesh: This verse I know, many
will say that I don't understand what Yochanan
(John) was saying, but let us read:
1Jn 2:26 these things have I written unto you
concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 but the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you
of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him. Yochanan says, "you need not that any man teaches
you". At this time Yochanan was
writing there were the "Gnostics"
pretending to have the secret
knowledge and enlightening
Adam Clarke a Christian scholar writes in his
commentary: 1Jn 2:27 But
the anointing which ye have received - That ointment, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, mentioned 1Jo_2:20 (note).
Ye
need not that any man teach you - The Gnostics, who pretended to the highest
illumination, could bring no proof that they were divinely taught, nor had they
anything in their teaching worthy the acceptance of the meanest
"Christian"; therefore they had no need of that, nor of any other
teaching but that which the same anointing teacheth, the same Spirit from whom
they had already received the light of the glory of God, in the face of
"Jesus Christ". Whatever that taught, they needed; and whatever those
taught whose teaching was according to this Spirit, they needed. St. John does
not say that those who had once received the teaching of the Divine Spirit had
no farther need of the ministry of the Gospel; no, but he says they had no need
of such teaching as their false teachers
proposed to them; nor of any other teaching that was different from that
anointing, i.e. the teaching of the Spirit of God. No man, howsoever holy,
wise, or pure, can ever be in such a state as to have no need of the Gospel
ministry: they who think so give the highest proof that they have never yet
learned of Messiah or his Spirit.
Question:
Who are the false teachers today?
What does
יהושע told his disciples?
Joh 16:13 howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he (she) will guide you into all truth:
for he (she) shall not speak of himself (herself); but whatsoever he (she)
shall hear, that shall he (she) speak: and he (she) will shew you things to
come.
Guide: Strong's # G3594 ὁδηγέω hodēgeō hod-ayg-eh'-o From G3595; to show
the way (literally or figuratively [teach]): - guide, lead......
If the Ruach
HaQodesh (Set Apart Spirit) dwells in you he will guide, teach and lead you
into all truth.
If we can answer the six questions above, we will be
able to see the reason יהוה want us to study the Torah. Just spend
time and discuss these questions and put the answer on a paper, don't rush but
try to get your mind on these points. You will be amazed that there is nothing new under the sun (Eccl 1:9) and
that all runs according to what Elohim foretold
in the Book of B'reshit.With that in
mind let us go back to our today's parsha
and learn what the life's condition of Ya'acov's
descendants at this time was. Stop to read the Torah as a simple Book or even as just Elohim inspired book, but much more as
the mirror of our own life given unto us by appointed messengers chosen by Elohim. The Mitsraytes (Egyptians) have been blessed and protected from their
enemies during Yoseph’s life and up
to the time the last son of Ya’acov
died as we will see. I want us to see that history repeat itself and that one
of the worse attribute of man is to “forget”
easily. The parsha start giving the
name of Ya’acov’s children who came
to Mitsrayim (Egypt ), “seventy beings” (verse
5).Verses 6 to 10 tell us that Yospeh
died and that the Mitsrayites plan to
put the children of Israel
under bondage. Details are given in the book
of Yasher and we will see that while Ya’acov'
sons were living, the inhabitants of Mitsrayim
were blessed by יהוה.
You
remember that the last chapter of the book of B’reshit speaks of the book of Yoseph.
He was not the last to die in Mistrayim (Egypt ). Levi
was the last of Ya'acov' sons to die.
Spiritual interpretation: The children of
The Apostle: twelve
in number. Spiritual application .While the children of Ya’acov were alive none of the Mitsrayites
(Egyptians) dared to do anything against them. While the Apostles were alive
none of the “Christians” (Roman Catholic
Church) dared to change the doctrine of Messiah. Remember that Mitsrayim / Egypt is a microcosm of the world
today.
Sh’mot (Ex.)
8
we read that there was a sovereign (King) who didn’t know Yospeh.
Let
us look at the meaning of the word “know”:
Know:Strong’s # H3045 Yada ידע written
yod, dalet, ayin;
I
will quote Brown, Driver, Briggs’ definitions:
1) to know .....1a) (Qal).....1a1) to know1a1a) to know, learn to know.....1a1b)
to perceive
1a1c) to perceive and see, find
out and discern .....1a1d) to discriminate, distinguish
1a1e) to know by experience
.....1a1f) to recognise, admit,
acknowledge, confess
1a1g) to consider ....1a2)
to know, be acquainted with ....1a3)
to know (a person carnally)
1a4) to know how, be skilful in....1a5) to have knowledge, be wise ....1b) (Niphal)
1b1) to be made known, be or become known, be revealed....1b2) to make
oneself known
1b3) to be perceived....1b4) to be instructed....1c) (Piel) to cause to
know....1d) (Poal) to cause to know
1e) (Pual)….1e1) to be known....1e2) known, one known,
acquaintance (participle)
The sovereign of Egypt
didn’t find out and discern, or knew by
experience, recognise, admit, acknowledge,
confess and consider, was acquainted
with, had knowledge of Yoseph and
his brethren, nor was he interested to enquire. Tell me how it is today? Do you
think that the rulers of the world have find
out, or can discern or know by having experienced, or admit and acknowledge, confess and consider or are acquainted
with יהושע Messiah? The answer is the same as
for the King of Mitsrayim: NO! They don’t....The one they know is “Jesus” lawless and antinomian (against
the Torah).The one taught and supported by the Roman Catholic Church.
Antinomian: One who maintains that, under the gospel
dispensation, the law (Torah) is of no
use or obligation, but that faith alone
is necessary to salvation. The sect of Antinomians originated with John
Agricola, in Germany ,
about the year 1535 (ISBE).
Sh’lomo says that there is nothing new
under heaven, what was, is that which will be. (Eccl. 1:9).
While
the children of Israel
(Apostles) were alive, people could receive blessing from heaven, through Yoseph / יהושע....Now Yoseph / יהושע are
gone, some to the grave, "sheol" (abode of the death) waiting for the
resurrection, the others, to be with our Master who seat at the right hand of
the Father until the time of restoration of all things come:
Act 3:20
and that He sends יהושע Messiah, pre-appointed for you, Act 3:21 whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which Elohim spoke
through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old.
The
time of Moshe and the children of Israel
in Mitsrayim / Egypt was a
shadow of our life today. We my brothers and sisters are living in Mitsrayim the land of oppression and we
cry unto יהוה for our deliverance through יהושע Messiah.
The prophet Amos writes concerning Famine:
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come (not now but in the future), saith יהוה Elohim,
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 יהוה.
The
last famine coming upon the world is a famine of “hearing the words of יהוה”. If
you check around you, you will see that people pretend, have a form of
godliness but denied the power (2nd Timot.3:5), following their own
pernicious (malicious, insidious) ways. Last
Tuesday, January 20th 2009 I watched the world wide retransmission of Barak Obama’ vow, on Abraham Lincoln’s bible, during his
investiture as the 44th President of the United States of America . The Parsah
tells us verse 8: “a new sovereign arose over Mitsrayim who did not know Yoseph
(יהושע). Indeed Barak Obama swore by “G-d” not by the
Name יהוה the Elohim of Israel but by “G-d” We all know that the “G-d” of this world is HaSatan. I saw a Gay Pastor been honoured by Mr.
Obama with an invitation to take part to his investiture sermon. I saw
another pastor Rick Warren, who leads
people into New Age thinking,
philosophy and manipulation asking before millions of people to “bless” Mr Obama in his way as US president. Further I have seen in the French TV the week
before the investiture, Journalist speaking in TV show about the “saviour of the world” calling Barak Obama “messiah”. Today in 2010 many in the US are against Barak Obama having lie concerning his
birth in the US and reveal himself to be a muslim!
But you brothers and sisters you are not in darkness
that that day should overtake you as a thief (1St Tessal.5:4)
While
they celebrate and extol themselves, the children of Israel all around the world are
suffering under the oppression. This is called tribulation:
2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the assembly of Elohim for your
patience and faith in all your persecutions
and tribulations that ye endure: 2Th 1:5 Which is a manifest
token of the righteous judgment of Elohim,that ye may be counted worthy of
the kingdom of Elohim , for which ye also suffer:
Tribulation: Strong's
# G2347 thlipsis thlip'-sis From
G2346; pressure (literally or
figuratively): - afflicted, (-tion),
anguish, burdened, persecution,
tribulation, trouble. G2346: thlibō
thlee'-bo
Akin
to the base of G5147; to crowd (literally or
figuratively): - afflict, narrow, throng, suffer tribulation, trouble. ......
Can
you see any difference with our forefathers in Mitsrayim? There is none, as it was, so it is today. But יהוה has delivered our
forefathers and he will do it again for those who wait for him, when he will
sent our Master יהושע Messiah
very soon (read the midrash on the “sh’mita cycle"). Once we have read the P’shat literal level we look into the “remez” to see the hint to יהושע Messiah/
I know there are many who will tell you that we have only to look to the text
as it is written in the literal sense! That’s not what the scriptures say (read
Psalm 25:14, the secret (sod) of
יהוה is
with them that fear him,
and He will shew them His covenant ...
Secret: Strong’s# H5475 סוד sôd sode written samech,vav,dalet, From H3245; a session,
that is, company of persons (in close deliberation); by implication intimacy, consultation, a secret: - assembly,
counsel, inward, secret (counsel). Let
see if it differs from יהושע’s teaching:
Mark 4:11 and He said to them, “To you
it has been given to know the secret
of the reign of Elohim, but to those
who are outside, all are done in parables,
Secret: Strong’s # G3466 mustērion Thayer Definition: 1) Hidden
thing, secret, mystery 1a) generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the
initiated and not to ordinary mortals 1b) a hidden or secret thing, not
obvious to the understanding 1c) a hidden purpose or counsel
1c1)
secret will
1c1a)
of men
1c1b)
of God: the secret counsels which
govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and
wicked men but plain to the godly
2) In rabbinic writings, it
denotes the mystic or hidden sense
We
see that the meaning doesn’t change. The “sod”,
“musterion” is the secret hidden by
Elohim for those who love Him. Revelation comes by studying Torah and prayer,
living a life according to His will (Qadosh life) through Messiah יהושע. The difference between our forefathers
before יהושע came
and those living after יהושע came
(since the time of the apostles, you and me) is explained by Sha'ul /Paul to the brethren in Corinth in 1 Corint. 15:
45-48.
1Co 15:45 and so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (יהושע) was made a quickening spirit. 1Co 15:46 howbeit
that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual. 1Co 15:47
the first man is of the earth, earthy: the
second man is יהושע from heaven. 1Co 15:48 as
is the earthy, such are they also that
are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such
are they also that are heavenly. .....Remember
in the original text there is no repetition of the verses numbers, sometime it
is a long sentence. If the verses numbers are a good tool to remember the
place, sometime it is also a problem, because looking as it is a new sentence which was not intended by
the writer.
So
could have been written from Sha'ul in
the original: ……..and so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam (יהושע) was made a quickening spirit, howbeit
that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual, the first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is יהושע from
heaven, as is the
earthy, such are they also that are
earthy: and as is the heavenly, such
are they also that are heavenly.......
Can you see how the sentence change and become more coherent in its meaning? This happen throughout the scriptures been accentuated by adding capital letters where it is not required thus influencing the reader in his subconscient to think that it is a new sentence although been one with the former sentence! In the old Hebrew there was no capital letter used. If you try to remember this point during your reading you will see changes in your understanding. The first man (Adam) and his followers represent the natural man, the carnal man, those who live in the flesh entangle with passion and worldly lust.(1st Yochan;2:15-16). The second man (Adam) verse 47 is the one who follow יהושע in all his way. With this in mind, we can better understand, what happen in Moshe's life time. People were carnal unable to see what Moshe saw because he was devoted to do יהוה’s will as were Aaron and many others after them (Yehoshua son of Nun, Caleb, David, Nathan, Sh’mu’el, and all the prophets). We brothers we have been chosen in Him, יהושע Messiah the last Adam before the creation of the world to do his will. (Eph 1:4, 1st Kefa 1:2) and to walk in יהושע's steps!

It
is amazing to see today a similar situation as it was in Moshe’s day. The book of Sh’mot
is what יהוה want us to know concerning
our personal “deliverance from bondage” through יהושע as
it was for the Children of Israel under
Moshe. 1:7 "and the children of
Israel", Ya’acov descendants
as you and me are by birth or and by covenant, were 1) fruitful, 2) increased,
3) multiplied, 4) waxed exceedingly mighty. The land was filled with them. How the
world is today, is it not filled with the descendants of Ya’acov, Itzahk and Abraham?
A multitude of people and only a remnant
will be saved
Isa 1:9 Unless יהוה of hosts had
left to us a small remnant, we would
have become like Seḏom (Sodom ), we would have
been made like Amorah (Gomorrah ).
Isa 11:11 and it shall be in that day
that יהוה sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from
Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from Shinʽar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea.
Isa 46:3 “Listen to Me, O house of
Yaʽaqoḇ, and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’ĕl, who are borne
from the belly, who are carried from the womb:
Jer 23:3 “Therefore I shall gather the
remnant of My flock out of all
the lands where I have driven them, and shall
bring them back to their fold. And they shall bear and increase. Eze 6:8 “But I shall leave a remnant,
in that some of you shall escape the
sword among the gentiles (Goy, nations), when you are scattered
throughout the lands.
Joe 2:32 and it shall come to pass, whosoever shall call on the name of יהוה shall be delivered: for in mount Zion
and in Jerusalem
shall be deliverance, as יהוה hath said, and in the
remnant whom יהוה shall call.
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 11:13 and in that hour there came to be a great earthquake, and a tenth of

gave esteem to the Elohim of the heaven.

Are we among these remnants, those who keep the truth
through and in Messiah יהושע? The word exhorts
us again and again to keep the truth for this is salvation unto those who
believe.
Moshe
gave the living word to the children of Israel, and they were seeking the
natural food; יהושע give
us the living food which is the “Torah”.
To follow יהושע is
to “eat the word of life” (Yochanan
6:53-56)
The world today, a form of Mitsrayim (Egypt )
is full of paganism, idolatry and is filled with the descendants of Israel . Some “Christians preachers” boast themselves
that they are the “greatest religion in the world”, which of course do not
conform with the remnant. It is not the quantity but the quality of the remnant which count to יהוה. Are you among these remnants, who have
left everything behind to follow יהושע Messiah? Read what the prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah) wrote under the Ruach HaQodesh (Set apart Spirit):
Isa 11:11 and it shall be in that day that יהוה sets His hand
again a second time to
recover the remnant of His people who are left, from
Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from
Shinʽar, from Ḥamath and from the
islands of the sea. ……a second time………………………….and from the islands of the sea.
In other words he was saying: "after I (Elohim) having made it with Moshe, I will do it again
by the hand of יהושע and will recover the remnant of my people
form Ashhur…………………………and from the place of numerous people.
The "Sea"
been a metaphor for numerous people, "Island" for far places and
not always only Island as we understand it
today…………………
Exo 1:1 and these are the names of the children of Yisra’ĕl
who came to Mitsrayim with Yaʽaqoḇ, each one with his household: Exo 1:2 Re’uḇĕn, Shimʽon, Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah;
Exo 1:3
Yissasḵar, Zeḇulun, and Binyamin; Exo 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gaḏ and Ashĕr. Exo 1:5 and all those who were descendants of Yaʽaqoḇ were
seventy beings, as Yosĕph was already in Mitsrayim. Exo 1:6 and Yosĕph died, and all his brothers, and all that
generation. Exo 1:7 and the children of Yisra’ĕl bore fruit and increased
very much, multiplied and became very strong, and the land was filled with
them. Exo 1:8 Then a new
sovereign arose over Mitsrayim, who did not know Yosĕph, Exo 1:9 and he said to his people, “See, the people of the children of Yisra’ĕl are more and stronger than
we, Exo 1:10 come, let us act wisely towards them, lest they
increase, and it shall be when fighting befalls us, that they shall join our
enemies and fight against us, and shall go up out of the land.”

Verses
8-10. A new
king who do not know Yoseph! This is
a very deep statement. This king unlike the
book of Yasher , Moshe doesn’t
give his name. Moshe want us to concentrate on the title not
on the name. A king a ruler like, one who doesn’t want to hear from Elohim like we have today: The UN or United Nation with and interesting Gemetria: The letter "U"
is the letter “vav” in Hebrew with
the Gemetria “6” and “N” is “nun” in Hebrew
with the gemetria 50 or 700 when it
is the final letter. So we have U.N. 6+700= 706 = 7+0+6= 13 = the number of rebellion, if we take 50 as final number we
have: 6+5+0 = 11 the number for
incomplete governance! Is that a coincidence? I let you the answer. U.N is a popular and well known
abbreviation for UNITED NATIONS so that we can take it as a full entity and
therefore look at the gemetria value
as acceptable. The UN decides matters in
the all world. We heard these last days, after Israel fought against the Hamas in Gaza to destroy their weapons that the UN through its head spoke of
bringing the guilt of “humanitarian
aggression” before the International Court of Justice the institution in La Haag Netherland who has been
established by the U.N. to rule the so call “crime
against humanity” Tell me who are the men with wealth today, who are the
afflicted, where does they affliction comes from?
Psa 34:19 many are the evils of the righteous1, but יהוה delivers him out of them all.
2Ti 3:11 the
persecutions, the sufferings, which came to me at Antioch , at Ikonion, and at Lustra – what persecutions I bore. Yet out of them all the Master delivered me.
2Ti
3:12 and indeed, all those wishing to live reverently in
Messiah יהושע, shall be persecuted.
The King James Version says: “those who want to live a
godly life in Messiah יהושע ……
So brothers and sisters do not be amazed when
affliction and persecution come upon you, rather turn to our Father and to our
Master יהושע who will deliver us from all
the trap of our enemies.
The affliction from the king of Mitsrayim / Egypt
does not stop the children of Israel
to multiply (verse12). The only way the Mitsrayites
/ Egyptians had against the children of Israel (carnal man) was to oppress
them with hard bondage (verse 14). It is amazing to read this when today, since
many years, the “elite group” of the
World calculates and plans how to eradicate people from the world through i.e.
wars, sickness, ethnic destruction, and other wicked plans like programmed
pandemics. I want to show the reason why did the children of Israel were
afflicted. This is not mentioned in the Torah. Remember what Sha'ul says that “all things work for
goof to those who love Elohim” (Rom. 8:28) Did Sha'ul read the book of Yasher? We look now in the book of Yasher (the Book of the Just) chapter 63: 6. Therefore all Egypt began from that day forth to embitter the
lives of the sons of Jacob, and to afflict them with all manner of hard
labour, because they had not known their
ancestors who had delivered them in the days of the famine. 7.
and this was also from YHWH, for the
children of Israel ,
to benefit them in their latter days, in order that all the children of Israel might know YHWH Eloheinu.
8.
and in order to know the signs and mighty wonders which YHWH would do in Egypt on
account of his people Israel ,
in order that the children of Israel might
fear YHWH Elohim of their ancestors, and walk in all his ways, they and their seed after them all the days............
There
is a lot we can see here. First it was יהוה’s plan,
because the Mistrayites had not known
the children of Israel ’s
ancestors, they were not acquainted with them and had forgotten what they did
by the hand of Yoseph to deliver them
from the famine. It was also from יהוה for
the children of Israel “you and me” in the later days (the days we are living
today) in order that we might know יהוה Elohim who sent Moshe the forerunner of יהושע to fear him and to trust
him. When Moshe came at the age of 40 and return at the age of 80, the children
of Israel
(carnal man) had “forgotten” the way of יהוה, they were
not like Abraham, Itzahk, Ya’acov who were taught by Noach and his sons Shem and Eber. Today
people from the world are taught by the philosophy and knowledge of man, not by
the truth which is the Torah. The children of Israel are well present as a
multitude among the nations in the all world, but only a remnant will be saved.
This is fact and many will be deceived. Many think that our brethren from Yehudah will be deceived because they
reject “Jesus” or even יהושע we know that they also will embrace the
truth that is in יהושע at the
right time. We need to pray for our brethren, may יהוה pour on them the spirit of supplication as
it become worse in Jerusalem .
Do you think so, or rather, that those who will be deceived
are those who trust in the false Messiah “Jesus”
the law breaker and Torah-less Messiah.
Just try to talk to these people and you will see how they vehemently reject
the truth, following the spirit of deception, boasting to be “free from the
law”, “save only by grace”, that the law “has been fulfilled by "Jesus”, accusing you of legalism
and bondage, trying to do your own righteousness. We see that the book of Yasher
says that this happened in order to profit us (the children of Israel ) in the
later days (verse 7). If we make a research concerning the later days, we will
see that there is no mistake about the time of the later days.
Gen 49:1 and Yaʽaqoḇ called his sons and said,
“Gather together, so that I declare to you what
is to befall you in the last days:
Isa 2:2 and it shall be in the latter days that the mountain of the House of יהוה is established
on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all
nations shall flow to it.
Act 2:16 “But this is
what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ĕl:
Act 2:17 ‘and it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My
Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your
young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams,
2Ti 3:1 but know this, that in the last days hard times shall come.
2Pe 3:3 knowing this first: that mockers shall come in the last days with mocking,
walking according to their own lusts,
Heb 1:2 has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed
heir of all, through*
whom also He made the ages,
1Jn 2:18 Little
children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that the anti-messiah is
coming, even now many anti-messiahs have come. This is how we know that it is the last hour.
*Through
(also by): Strong's # G1223διά dia dee-ah'.........A
primary preposition denoting the channel
of an act; through (in very wide applications, local, causal or
occasional). In composition it retains the same general import: - after,
always, among, at, to avoid, because
of (that), briefly, by, for (cause) . . . fore, from, in, by occasion
of, of, by reason of, for sake, that, thereby, therefore, X
though, through (-out), to, wherefore, with (-in). In composition it retains
the same general import. So we could read the verse so:
Heb 1:2 has in
these last days spoken to us
by the Son (יהושע), whom He has appointed heir of all, "dia", because of, by reason of, for
the sake of* whom also He made the ages,
This brings a tremendous change far from Christian doctrine of Trinity and the "G-d Jesus". Yochanan goes so far to call it “the last hour”......The last days
started with the coming of יהושע Messiah,
as we know that one day equal one thousand year, so the two last days equal the
last two thousand years before the Second Advent. The book of Yasher says that it is for us that יהוה did what he did under Moshe’s time. We should think about
that!
Exo 1:11 So they set slave-masters over them to afflict them with their burdens, and
they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raʽamses. ...............
Names meaning
according to Brown Driver and Briggs:
Pithom: Strong’s # “City
of justice” one of the
store-cities which the Pharaoh made the Israelites build
Ra’amses: Strong’s #H7486 Raamses or Rameses = “child of the sun”1) a city in lower Egypt built by Hebrew slaves;
probably in Goshen.......“Child of the Sun”!
As
we know the sun is part of the Mitsrayite
religion as it is with the Roman Catholic
Church with their “Sun – day worship”, and Easter
(Ishtar) celebration and “Christ –
mas” the “mass” for “Christ” to celebrate the rebirth of the
sun after the winter solcist. Whose name is the name of the “Sun child” in Egypt /Mitsrayim, is it not “Horus” The son of Isis and Osiris? Horus
the “all seeing eye”! The eye can be
seen in the One US Dollar bill today on the top of the Pyramid, all symbol of
the Lucifer worship of the “Illuminati”..........The
children of Israel
were forced to work for the mitsrayites
to build this two cities, the “City of
justice”, Pithom, and the city of
“The child of the sun” Ra’amses. Today
we have two cities who match with Pithom and
Raamses:
Pithom is equal to New York (City
of Justice ) the
seat of the U.N the organisation who rules the World affairs.....
Raamses is equal
to Rome
where the Vatican the city of the Mother
of Harlots seats (Child of the Sun)...........
Exo 1:12
but the more they afflicted them, the more they increased and grew, and they
were in dread of the children of Yisra’ĕl....
.For
the account of the midwives we are going to read the account from Josephus an
historian “Jews” who lived at יהושע’s time and
wrote: ............
From “Antiquities
of the Jews" Book 2 Chapter 9:NOW
it happened that the Egyptians grew delicate and lazy, as to pains-taking, and gave themselves up to other pleasures
(hedonism), and in particular to the love of gain. They also became very
ill-affected towards the Hebrews, as touched with envy at their prosperity; for
when they saw how the nation of the Israelites flourished, and were become
eminent already in plenty of wealth, which they had acquired by their virtue
and natural love of labour, they thought their increase was to their own
detriment. And having, in length of time, forgotten the benefits they had
received from Joseph, particularly the crown being now come into another
family, they became very abusive to the
Israelites, and contrived many ways of afflicting
them; for they enjoined them to cut
a great number of channels for the river, and to build walls for their cities and ramparts, that they might
restrain the river, and hinder its waters from stagnating, upon its running
over its own banks: they set them also to build pyramids, (17) and by all this wore them out; and forced them to
learn all sorts of mechanical arts, and to
accustom themselves to hard labour. And four hundred years did they spend under these afflictions*; for
they strove one against the other which should get the mastery, the Egyptians
desiring to destroy the Israelites by these labours, and the Israelites
desiring to hold out to the end under them.
*This time period is from the time Abraham entered the
land of Canaan until the deliverance through Moshe.
Josephus “Antiquities of the Jews” Book 2 chapter 15:”
2. They left Egypt in the month
Xanthicus, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month; four hundred and thirty years after our forefather Abraham came into
Canaan, but two hundred and fifteen years only after Jacob removed into
Egypt. (28)
It was the eightieth year of the age of Moses, and of that of Aaron three more.
They also carried out the bones of Joseph with them, as he had charged his sons
to do.and inconsolable to them. And this was the ill state they were in. But no
one can be too hard for the purpose of God, though he contrive ten thousand
subtle devices for that end; for this child, whom the sacred scribe foretold,
was brought up and concealed from the observers appointed by the king; and he
that foretold him did not mistake in the consequences of his preservation,
which were brought to pass after the manner foll2. While the affairs of the Hebrews were in this condition, there
was this occasion offered itself to the Egyptians, which made them more
solicitous for the extinction of our nation. One of those sacred scribes, (18) who are very sagacious in foretelling future events
truly, told the king, that about this time there would a child be born to the
Israelites, who, if he were reared, would bring the Egyptian dominion low, and
would raise the Israelites; that he would excel all men in virtue, and obtain a
glory that would be remembered through all ages. Which thing was so feared by
the king, that, according to this man's opinion, he commanded that they should
cast every male child, which was born to the Israelites, into the river, and
destroy it; that besides this, the
Egyptian midwives (19) should
watch the labours of the Hebrew women, and observe what is born, for those were the women who were enjoined to do the office of midwives to
them; and by reason of their relation to the king, would not transgress his
commands. He enjoined also, that if any parents should disobey him, and
venture to save their male children alive, (20) they and their families should be destroyed. This was
a severe affliction indeed to those that suffered it, not only as they were
deprived of their sons, and while they were the parents themselves, they were
obliged to be subservient to the destruction of their own children, but as it
was to be supposed to tend to the extirpation of their nation, while upon the
destruction of their children, and their own gradual dissolution, the calamity
would become very hard owing: - ..............
Chapter 2 Moshe’s birth.
Before we go further I want to show something. During
the time the children of Israel were afflicted by the Mitsaryites / Egyptians, one tribe was not, but let us read and
understand:
Are we a “chosen generation”, a “royal priesthood” a ”purchased people” as it is written by Kefa (Peter) (1st Kefa 2:9), or are we like the other children of Israel “deceive” by the cunning evil plan of Mitsrayites / Egyptians / people from the world?
1Pe 2:9 but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1Pe 2:10 which
in time past were not a people, but are now the people of YHWH: which had not
obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Peculiar: Strong's # G4047 περιποίησις peripoiēsisper-ee-poy'-ay-sis.............From G4046; acquisition (the act or the
thing); by extension preservation:
- obtain (-ing), peculiar, purchased,
possession, saving. .....
Now you can chose for yourselves if you are a “royal priesthood” Elohim acquisition,
preservation, purchased possession or a slave in bondage of the world.
If you are a royal priesthood, do not fear the modern Mitsrayites, they can’t do nothing against you stand firm, resist
Satan and he will flee from you. Pharaoh is
a picture of HaSatan, the enemy. The
Former King of Egypt in Yoseph time
was a picture of Elohim, now is
successor has become a picture of Elohim's opponent HaSatan. Concerning the birth of Moshe, we all know that it was a divine appointment. First יהוה told Abram that his descendants would be 400 years in Egypt / Mitsrayim, but that he will remember
them. We are going to look what Josephus
and the book of Yasher tells us! Just
be patient and read and you will see how sometime it is simple to understand
and know more about our ancestors and our Elohim:
.Josephus “Antiquities of the Jews” Book 2 Chapter 9: 3. a man whose name was Amram, one of the nobler sort of the Hebrews, was afraid for his whole nation, lest it should fail, by the want of young men to be brought up hereafter, and was very uneasy at it, his wife being then with child, and he knew not what to do. Hereupon he betook himself to prayer to God; and entreated him to have compassion on those men who had nowise transgressed the laws of his worship, and to afford them deliverance from the miseries they at that time endured, and to render abortive their enemies' hopes of the destruction of their nation. Accordingly God had mercy on him, and was moved by his supplication. He stood by him in his sleep, and exhorted him not to despair of his future favours. He said further, that he did not forget their piety towards him, and would always reward them for it, as he had formerly granted his favour to their forefathers, and made them increase from a few to so great a multitude. He put him in mind, that when Abraham was come alone out of Mesopotamia into Canaan, he had been made happy, not only in other respects, but that when his wife was at first barren, she was afterwards by him enabled to conceive seed, and bare him sons. That he left to Ishmael and to his posterity the country of Arabia; as also to his sons by Ketura, Troglodytis; and to Isaac, Canaan. That by my assistance, said he, he did great exploits in war, which, unless you be yourselves impious, you must still remember. As for Jacob, he became well known to strangers also, by the greatness of that prosperity in which he lived, and left to his sons, who came into Egypt with no more than seventy souls, while you are now become above six hundred thousand. Know therefore that I shall provide for you all in common what is for your good, and particularly for thyself what shall make thee famous; for that child, out of dread of whose nativity the Egyptians have doomed the Israelite children to destruction, shall be this child of thine, and shall be concealed from those who watch to destroy him: and when he is brought up in a surprising way, he shall deliver the Hebrew nation from the distress they are under from the Egyptians. His memory shall be famous while the world lasts; and this not only among the Hebrews, but foreigners also: - all which shall be the effect of my favour to thee, and to thy posterity. He shall also have such a brother (Aaron), that he shall himself obtain my priesthood, and his posterity shall have it after him to the end of the world.
4. When the vision had informed him of these things,
Amram awaked and told it to Jochebed who
was his wife. And now the fear increased upon them on account of the
prediction in Amram's dream; for they were under concern, not only for the
child, but on account of the great happiness that was to come to him also.
However, the mother's labour was such as afforded a confirmation to what was
foretold by God; for it was not known to those that watched her, by the
easiness of her pains, and because the throes of her delivery did not fall upon
her with violence. And now they nourished the child at home privately for three
months; but after that time Amram, fearing he should be discovered, and, by
falling under the king's displeasure, both he and his child should perish, and
so he should make the promise of God of none effect, he determined rather to
trust the safety and care of the child to God, than to depend on his own
concealment of him, which he looked upon as a thing uncertain, and whereby both
the child, so privately to be nourished, and himself should be in imminent
danger; but he believed that God would
some way for certain procure the safety of the child, in order to secure the
truth of his own predictions. When they had thus determined, they made an
ark of bulrushes, after the manner of a cradle, and of a bigness sufficient for
an infant to be laid in, without being too straitened: they then daubed it over
with slime, which would naturally keep out the water from entering between the
bulrushes, and put the infant into it, and setting it afloat upon the river,
they left its preservation to God; so the river received the child, and carried
him along. But Miriam, the child's
sister, passed along upon the bank over against him, as her mother had bid her,
to see whither the ark would be carried, where God demonstrated that human
wisdom was nothing, but that the Supreme Being is able to do whatsoever he
pleases: that those who, in order to their own security, condemn others to
destruction, and use great endeavours about it, fail of their purpose; but that
others are in a surprising manner preserved, and obtain a prosperous
condition almost from the very midst of their calamities; those, I mean, whose
dangers arise by the appointment of God. And, indeed, such providence was
exercised in the case of this child, as showed the power of God.
We
learn through the book of Yasher and
the writings from Josephus that Myriam was working at the "Queen house" and so could
observe what was going on...
Josephus “Antiquities of the Jews” Book 2:9
5. Thermuthis was the king's daughter. She was now
diverting herself by the banks of the river; and seeing a cradle borne along by
the current, she sent some that could swim, and bid them bring the cradle to
her. When those that were sent on this errand came to her with the cradle, and
she saw the little child, she was greatly in love with it, on account of its
largeness and beauty; for God had taken such great care in the formation of
Moses, that he caused him to be thought worthy of bringing up, and providing
for, by all those that had taken the most fatal resolutions, on account of the
dread of his nativity, for the destruction of the rest of the Hebrew nation. Thermuthis bid them bring her a woman that
might afford her breast to the child; yet would not the child admit of her
breast, but turned away from it, and did the like to many other women. Now Miriam was by when this happened,
not to appear to be there on purpose, but only as staying to see the child; and
she said, "It is in vain
that thou, O queen, callest for these women for the nourishing of the child, who
are no way of kin to it; but still, if thou wilt order one of the Hebrew women
to be brought, perhaps it may admit the breast of one of its own nation."
Now since she seemed to speak well, Thermuthis
bid her procure such a one, and to bring one of those Hebrew women that gave
suck. So when she had such authority given her, she came back and brought the mother, who was known to
nobody there. And now the child gladly
admitted the breast, and seemed to stick close to it; and so it was, that,
at the queen's desire, the nursing of the child was entirely intrusted to the
mother.
6. Hereupon it was that Thermuthis imposed this name Mouses upon him, from what had happened
when he was put into the river; for the Egyptians call water by the name of Mo, and such as are saved out of it, by
the name of Uses: so by putting these two words together,
they imposed this name upon him. And he was, by the confession of all, according to God's prediction, as well
for his greatness of mind as for his contempt of difficulties, the best of all
the Hebrews, for Abraham was his
ancestor of the seventh generation. For Moses was the son of Amram, who
was the son of Caath, whose father Levi was the son of Jacob, who
was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. Now Moses's understanding became superior to
his age, nay, far beyond that standard; and when he was taught, he
discovered greater quickness of apprehension than was usual at his age, and his
actions at that time promised greater, when he should come to the age of a man.
God did also give him that tallness, when he was but three years old, as was
wonderful. And as for his beauty, there was nobody so unpolite as, when they saw Moses, they were not
greatly surprised at the beauty of his countenance; nay, it happened
frequently, that those that met him as he was carried along the road, were
obliged to turn again upon seeing the child; that they left what they were
about, and stood still a great while to look on him; for the beauty of the
child was so remarkable and natural to him on many accounts, that it detained
the spectators, and made them stay longer to look upon him. 7. Thermuthis
therefore perceiving him to be so remarkable a child, adopted him for her son,
having no child of her own. And when one time had carried Moses to her
father, she showed him to him, and said she thought to make him her successor,
if it should please God she should have no legitimate child of her own; and to
him, "I have brought up a child who
is of a divine form, (21)
and of a generous mind; and as I have received him from the bounty of the
river, in , I thought proper to adopt him my son, and the heir of thy
kingdom." And she had said this, she put the infant into her father's
hands: so he took him, and hugged him to his breast; and on his daughter's
account, in a pleasant way, put his diadem upon his head; but Moses threw it
down to the ground, and, in a puerile mood, he wreathed it round, and trod upon
his feet, which seemed to bring along with evil presage concerning the kingdom
of Egypt. But when the sacred scribe (it
was Balaam) saw this, (he was the person who foretold that his nativity
would the dominion of that kingdom low,) he made a violent attempt to kill him;
and crying out in a frightful manner, he said, "This, O king! this child is he of whom God foretold, that if we kill
him we shall be in no danger; he himself affords an attestation to the
prediction of the same thing, by his trampling upon thy government, and
treading upon thy diadem. Take him, therefore, out of the way, and deliver the
Egyptians from the fear they are in about him; and deprive the Hebrews of the
hope they have of being encouraged by him." But Thermuthis prevented
him, and snatched the child away. And the king was not hasty to slay him, God
himself, whose providence protected Moses, inclining the king to spare him. He
was, therefore, educated with great care. So the Hebrews depended on him, and
were of good hopes great things would be done by him; but the Egyptians were
suspicious of what would follow such his education. Yet because, if Moses had
been slain, there was no one, either akin or adopted, that had any oracle on
his side for pretending to the crown of Egypt, and likely to be of greater
advantage to them, they abstained from killing him. .....................We
can see that the book of Yasher and
the account of Josephus are in line
with the Torah, giving us more inside, thus helping us to understand the life
of our ancestors.
We have
also seen that Yethro also called Reu’el, Job were with Balaam part
of Pharaoh’s counsellors. Thus we can understand their position, when we read
the Torah and see how they relate to one another. Yethro is to become Moshe’s
father in law, Job is to become the
man who bow before Elohim and do not
deny him in spite of HaSatan
tribulations, and Balaam is the
wicked prophet who will teach Balak how
to make the children of Israel fall...

It is amazing that today all around the world the Christians proudly call him “Lord” “Seigneur” “Gehino” which
means “Ba’al” the name of a pagan
deity! יהוה says
that His name is to be remembered from
generation to generation forever, Hebrew Olam which means “out of mind”, to the vanishing point , always,
perpetual, eternal.
Let us look from the account of Josephus in “Antiquities of the Jews”.
Book 2 Chapter
12:. NOW
Moses, when he had obtained the favor of Jethro, for that was one of the names of Raguel, staid there and fed his flock;
but some time afterward, taking his station at the mountain called Sinai, he
drove his flocks thither to feed them. Now this is the highest of all the
mountains thereabout, and the best for pasturage, the herbage being there good;
and it had not been before fed upon, because
of the opinion men had that God dwelt there, the shepherds not daring to ascend up to it; and here it was that a
wonderful prodigy happened to Moses; for a fire fed upon a thorn bush, yet did the green leaves and the
flowers continue untouched, and the fire
did not at all consume the fruit branches, although the flame was great and
fierce. Moses was aftrighted at this strange sight, as it was to him; but he was still more astonished when the fire
uttered a voice, and called to him
by name, and spake words to him, by which it signified how bold he had been
in venturing to come into a
place whither no man had ever come before, because the place was divine; and
advised him to remove a great way off from the flame, and to be contented with
what he had seen; and though he were himself a good man, and the offspring of
great men, yet that he should not pry any further; and he foretold to him, that he should have glory and honour among men, by
the blessing of God upon him. He also commanded him to go away thence with
confidence to Egypt, in order to his being the commander and conductor of the
body of the Hebrews, and to his delivering his own people from the injuries
they suffered there: "For,"
said God, "they shall inhabit this happy land which your forefather
Abraham inhabited, and shall have the enjoyment of all good things." But still he enjoined them, when he
brought the Hebrews out of the land of Egypt, to come to that place, and to
offer sacrifices of thanksgiving there, such were the divine oracles which
were delivered out of the fire. 2. But Moses was astonished at what he saw, and much more at what he heard; and
he said, "I think it would be an instance of too great madness, O YHWH,
for one of that regard I bear to thee, to distrust thy power, since I myself
adore it, and know that it has been made manifest to my progenitors: but I am still in doubt how I, who am a private man, and one of no abilities, should either
persuade my own countrymen to leave the country they now inhabit, and to follow
me to a land whither I lead them; or, if they should be persuaded, how can I
force Pharaoh to permit them to depart, since they augment their own wealth and
prosperity by the labors and works they put upon them ?"
3. But God persuaded him to be courageous on all
occasions, and promised to be with him, and to assist him in his words, when he
was to persuade men; and in his deeds, when he was to perform wonders. He bid
him also to take a signal of the truth of what he said, by throwing his rod upon the ground, which, when he had done, it crept
along, and was become a serpent, and
rolled itself round in its folds, and erected
its head, as ready to revenge itself on such as should assault it; after
which it become a rod again as it was before. After this God bid Moses to put his right hand into his bosom: he obeyed, and
when he took it out it was white, and in
colour like to chalk, but afterward it returned to its wonted color again.
He also, upon God's command, took some
of the water that was near him, and poured it upon the ground, and saw the colour was that of blood. Upon the
wonder that Moses showed at these signs, God exhorted him to be of good
courage, and to be assured that he would be the greatest support to him; and bid him make use of those signs, in order
to obtain belief among all men, that "thou art sent by me, and dost
all things according to my commands. Accordingly I enjoin thee to make no more
delays, but to make haste to Egypt, and to travel night and day, and not to
draw out the time, and so make the slavery of the Hebrews and their sufferings
to last the longer."
4. Moses having now seen and heard these wonders that
assured him of the truth of these promises of God, had no room left him to disbelieve them: he entreated him to
grant him that power when he should be in Egypt; and besought him to vouchsafe
him the knowledge of his own name; and since he had heard and seen him, that he
would also tell him his name, that when he offered sacrifice he might invoke
him by such his name in his oblations. Whereupon God declared to him his holy
name, which had never been discovered to men before; concerning which it is not
lawful for me to say any more (24)
Now these signs accompanied Moses, not then
only, but always when he prayed for them: of all which signs he attributed the
firmest assent to the fire in the bush; and believing that God would be a gracious supporter to him, he
hoped he should be able to deliver his own nation, and bring calamities on
the Egyptians.
Can
you imagine that you come back somewhere under the leadership of Elohim, a place you left forty years
before and you are in charge to proclaim יהוה's will to the people. Try to imagine how
could be the reaction of those you left many years before! While Moshe was in Cush one tribe of the Children
of Israel, Ephraim decided to leave Egypt
thinking that the time was over to stay in Egypt. A lection and a strong
warning to all of us:
Jasher
Chapter 75:1. at
that time, in the hundred and eightieth year of the Israelites going down into
Egypt,there went forth from Egypt valiant men, thirty thousand on foot, from the children of Israel, who were all
of the tribe of Joseph, of the children
of Ephraim the son of Joseph.2. for they said the period was completed
which YHWH had appointed to the children of
Israel in the times of old, which he had spoken to
Abraham. 3. and these men girded themselves, and they put each man his sword at
his side, and every man his armor upon him, and they trusted to their strength,
and they went out together from Egypt
with a mighty hand. . but they
brought no provision for the road, only silver and gold, not even bread for
that day did they bring in their hands, for they thought of getting their
provision for pay
from the Philistines, and if not they would take it by
force. 5. and these men were very mighty and valiant men, one man could pursue
a thousand and two could rout ten thousand, so they trusted to their strength and went together as they were. 6. and
they directed their course toward the land of Gath, and they went down and
found
the shepherds of Gath feeding the cattle of the
children of Gath. 7. and they said to the shepherds, Give us some of the sheep
for pay, that we may eat, for we are hungry, for we have eaten no bread this
day. 8. and the shepherds said, Are they our sheep or cattle that we should
give them to you even for pay? so the children of Ephraim approached to take
them by force. 9. and the shepherds of Gath shouted over them that their cry
was heard at a distance, so all the children of Gath went out to them. 10. and
when the children of Gath saw the evil doings of the children of Ephraim, they returned
and assembled the men of Gath, and they put on each man his armor, and came forth
to the children of Ephraim for battle. 11. and they engaged with them in the
valley of Gath, and the battle was severe, and they smote from each other a
great many on that day. 12. and on the second day the children of Gath sent to
all the cities of the Philistines that they should come to their help, saying, 13.
Come up unto us and help us, that we may smite the children of Ephraim who have
come forth from Egypt to take our cattle, and to fight against us without
cause. 14. Now the souls of the children
of Ephraim were exhausted with hunger and thirst, for they had eaten no
bread for three days. And forty thousand men went forth from the cities of the
Philistines to the assistance of the men of Gath. 15. and these men were
engaged in battle with the children of Ephraim, and YHWH delivered the children of Ephraim into the hands of the
Philistines. 16. and they smote all the children of Ephraim, all who
had gone forth from Egypt, none
were remaining but ten men who had run away from the
engagement. 17. for this evil was from YHWH against the children of Ephraim, for they transgressed the word of YHWH
in going forth from Egypt, before
the period had arrived which the YHWH in the days of old had appointed to
Israel. 18. and of the Philistines also there fell a great many, about
twenty thousand men, and their brethren carried them and buried them in their
cities.
19. and the slain of the children of Ephraim remained
forsaken in the valley of Gath for many days and years, and were not brought to
burial, and the valley was filled with men's bones. 20. and the men who had
escaped from the battle came to Egypt, and told all the children of Israel all
that had befallen them. 21. and their father Ephraim mourned over them for many
days, and his brethren came to console him. 22. and he came unto his wife and
she bare a son, and he called his name Beriah, for she was unfortunate in his house …….
Chapter 4
Exo 4:1
and Mosheh answered and said, “And if they do not believe me, nor listen to my
voice, and say, ‘יהוה has not appeared to you?’ ” ... Exo 4:31 and the people believed. And they heard that יהוה had visited the children of
Yisra’ĕl and that He had looked on their affliction, and they bowed their heads
and did obeisance. ………………
Chapter 5. Verse 2
It is taught that when Moshe appeared before Pharaoh and spoke the name יהוה that Pharaoh
asked his scribe to bring the list of the gods of Egypt and when he didn’t
found the name in the list, arrogantly told Moshe “ I don’t know him” so I will
not let the children of Israel go. Moshe was already warned of Elohim who told him that He will harden
Pharaoh’s heart.
How it is today, what does the rulers of the world
say, do they know the name of our Elohim,
or do they ignore and oppress the people? It is so far that in the US the bible
has been removed from the school not to speak from France where since 1789 Elohim has been publicly been rejected
and replaced by the “goddess of reason Marianne”
whose figure was on French coins, and has become the statue of Liberty in New
York! That was the work of the Illuminati who already were at work to destroy
the faith of the people. Since this time faith has been decreasing in France
and today people have turned to either Roman
Catholic hypocrisies or to the hedonism
(search of pleasure) promote by TV and Newspapers. After that Pharaoh increased the burden of the
children of Israel by removing the straw from them. Verse 9.”
Let
more work be laid on the men, so that they labour in it, and not pay attention
to words of falsehood.” Here is what the rulers of the world do today, they
lay burden on people in order to “keep them busy”. After that they have no
appetite for the “godly things” when they come home, they fix their eyes on the
TV screen been lazy and “drunk” by the lies of the entertainers. Modern “bricks”!
Today the “bricks” are the taxes!
Every year the rulers find new taxes. People think they are free, but their
load, burden is the taxes they have to pay, taxes on food, buying bread, milk,
cars, whatever you buy, you pay taxes while the government make debts, endless
with arrogance, boasting themselves to be wise. When a way of taxes seems to be
a problem, they “generously” remove the taxes while proclaiming a new one on
another area. Not only to exchange, had they found out new system to “protect”
the environment proclaiming things from their “wise men” have who all rejected יהוה. This is Mitsaryim in world scale, waiting for
the revelation of the man of perdition whom our Master will destroy with the
word of His mouth……Verses 20 – 23
The children of Israel were discouraged by the hard
task forced to them by Pharaoh. They bring accusation to Moshe and Aaron for all
the trouble they have. You remember, it was יהוה who told Abraham that this would happen, so it
couldn’t be Moshe’s fault. How it is with us, how do we react when things seems
to go bad, or even from bad to worse, do we easily accuse those who have shown
us the way? Do we follow the way of the majority or do we wait patiently,
putting our trust in יהוה and
His word, knowing that יהושע has
made the way for us and paid the Price! Just try to be honest and answer this
question. We all are under challenge and lead by the Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim,
in the wilderness in order to become more and more like our Master יהושע our elder Brother. HalleluYah! …………….
Chapter 5:
יהוה to deliver
his people: 11. and Pharaoh king of Egypt
greatly increased the labor of the
children of Israel in those days, and continued to make his yoke heavier upon
the children of Israel. 12. and he ordered a proclamation to be made in Egypt,
saying, Give no more straw to the people
to make bricks with, let them go and gather themselves straw
as they can find it. 13. also the tale of bricks which they shall make let them
give each day, and diminish nothing from them, for they are idle in their work.
14. and the children of Israel heard this, and they mourned and sighed, and they cried unto YHWH on account of the
bitterness of their souls. 15. and YYHWH heard the cries of the children of
Israel, and saw the oppression with
which the
Egyptians oppressed them. 16. and YHWH was jealous of his people and his
inheritance, and heard their voice, and he resolved to take them out of the
affliction of Egypt, to give them the land of Canaan
for a
possession
Chapter
5: Pharaoh's arrogance toward יהוה ..Today
world leaders also boast about their own power and do not know the Name of the
living Elohim they transgress daily
the divine Torah and bring יהוה' people under hard pressure. Are you also
crying to our heavenly Father to deliver us and send our Master יהושע to establish His Kingdom? Let us read what
we can learn from the book of Yasher: 8:20. and Moses and Aaron rose up early on the next day,
and they went to the house of Pharaoh, and they
took in their hands the stick of God. 21.
and when they came to the king's gate, two young lions were confined there with
iron instruments, and no person went out or came in from before them, unless
those whom the king ordered to come, when the conjurors came and withdrew the
lions by their incantations, and this brought them to the king.
22. and Moses hastened and lifted up the stick upon
the lions, and he loosed them, and Moses and Aaron came into the king's house. 23.
The lions also came with them in joy, and they followed them and rejoiced as a
dog
rejoices over his master when he comes from the field.
24. and when Pharaoh saw this thing he
was astonished at it, and he was greatly terrified at the report, for their appearance was like the appearance of the children of God. 25. and
Pharaoh said to Moses, What do you require? and they answered him, saying, YHWH God of the Hebrews has sent us to
thee, to say, Send forth my people that they may serve me. 26. and when
Pharaoh heard their words he was greatly
terrified before them, and he said to them, Go today and come back to me
tomorrow, and they did according to the word of the king. 27. and when they had
gone Pharaoh sent for Balaam the
magician and to Jannes* and Jambres*
his sons (read , and to all the magicians and conjurors and counsellors
which belonged to the king, and they all came and sat before the king. *The
name Jannes and Jambres are only one
time mentioned in the Brit Chadasha (N.T)
where did Sha'ul got the names,
if not from the Book of Yasher?
2Ti 3:8
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth:
men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ........78:28. and the
king told them all the words which Moses and his brother Aaron had spoken to him,
and the magicians said to the king, But how came the men to thee, on account of
the lions which were confined at the gate? 29. and the king said, Because they
lifted up their rod against the lions and loosed them, and came to me, and the
lions also rejoiced at them as a dog rejoices to meet his master. 30. and Balaam the son of Beor the magician
answered the king, saying, These are
none
else
than magicians like ourselves. 31. now therefore send for them, and let them come and
we will try them, and the king did so. 32. and in the morning Pharaoh sent for
Moses and Aaron to come before the king, and
they
took the rod of God, and came to the king and spoke to him, saying, 33. thus said YHWH God of the Hebrews, Send my people that they may
serve me. 34. and the king said to them, But who will believe you that you are the messengers of God and that
you come to me by his order? 35. now therefore
give a wonder or sign in this matter, and then the words which you
speak will be believed. 36. and Aaron hastened and threw the rod out of his
hand before Pharaoh and before his servants, and the rod turned into a serpent.
37. and the sorcerers saw this and they cast each man his rod upon the ground
and they became serpents. 38. and the serpent of Aaron's rod lifted up its head
and opened its mouth to swallow the rods of the magicians. 39. and Balaam the
magician answered and said, This thing
has been from the days of old, that a serpent should swallow its fellow,
and that living things devour each other. 40. now therefore restore it to a rod
as it was at first, and we will also restore our rods as they were at first,
and if thy rod shall swallow our rods,
then shall we know that the spirit of God is in thee, and if not, thou art
only an artificer like unto ourselves. 41. and Aaron hastened and stretched
forth his hand and caught hold of the serpent's tail and it became a rod in his
hand, and the sorcerers did the like with their rods, and they got hold, each
man of the tail of his serpent, and they became rods as at first. 42. and when
they were restored to rods, the rod
of Aaron swallowed up their rods. 43. and when the king (Pharaoh) saw this thing, he ordered the book of
records that related to the kings of Egypt, to be brought, and they brought the book of records, the
chronicles of the kings of Egypt, in which all the idols of Egypt were
inscribed, for they thought of finding therein the name of Yehovah, but they
found it not. 44. and Pharaoh said to Moses and Aaron, Behold I have not found the name of your God written
in this book, and his name I know not. 45. and the counsellors and wise
men answered the king, We have heard that the God of the Hebrews is a son of
the wise, the son of ancient kings. 46. and Pharaoh turned to Moses and Aaron
and said to them, I know not YHWH
whom you have declared, neither will I send his people. 47. and they answered
and said to the king, YHWH God of Gods
is his name, and he proclaimed his name over us from the days of our ancestors,
and sent us, saying, Go to Pharaoh and say unto him, Send my people that they
may serve me. 48. now therefore send us, that we may take a journey for three
days in the wilderness, and there may sacrifice to him, for from the days of
our going down to Egypt, he has not taken from our hands either burnt offering,
oblation or sacrifice, and if thou wilt
not send us, his anger will be kindled against thee, and he will smite Egypt
either with the
plague
or with the sword. 49.
and Pharaoh said to them, Tell me now
his power and his might; and they said to him, He created the heaven
and the earth, the seas and all their fishes, he formed the light, created the
darkness, caused rain upon the earth and watered it, and made the herbage and
grass to sprout, he created man and beast and the animals of the forest, the
birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and by his mouth they live and die. 50. Surely he created thee in thy mother's womb, and put into thee the breath of life, and reared thee and
placed thee upon the royal throne of Egypt, and he will take thy breath and
soul from thee, and return thee to the ground whence thou wast taken. 51. and
the anger of the king was kindled at their words, and he said to them, But who amongst
all the Gods of nations can do this? my
river (the Nile) is mine own, and I have made it for myself. 52. and he
drove them from him, and he ordered the labor upon Israel to be more severe
than it
was yesterday and before.
The arrogance from Pharaoh is extreme and he is
blinded by his own power over Egypt. He cannot realize a single moment that if
he is in this position it was יהוה's work as Sha'ul wrote to the Romains: Rom 9:17
for the scripture saith unto Pharaoh,
Even for this same purpose have I raised
thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be
declared throughout all the earth.
Rom 9:18
therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he
hardeneth.
Why did יהוה act so with
Pharaoh? The question has many answers here two of them:
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man,
who art thou that repliest against YHWH? Shall the thing formed say to him that
formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Rom 9:21 hath not the
potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and
another unto dishonour?...............יהוה is the
Creator of everything including man. Pharaoh forgot that he got life not on his
own power. This was one of the answer the other we can read in the book of
Proverbs: Pro 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to
YHWH: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Pro 21:4
an high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. Pro 16:18
pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
..................Pride is sin and brings destruction. The “Pharaohs” (world rulers) of today are full of pride and proclaim
themselves to be wise not having found the Name of Elohim in their books of Chronicle
because only HaSatan words fill
their knowledge. Verse 12 we read……….the people were scattered in all
the land of Mitsrayim – to gather stubble for straw. Are not today those from Ya'acov Household the true Israelites scattered in the all world (Mitsrayim) searching how to make "bricks"? The word Egypt in Hebrew:
Egypt: Strong's
# H4714 מצרים mitsrayim
mits-rah'-yim
Dual of H4693; Mitsrajim, that is,
Upper and Lower Egypt: - Egypt, Egyptians, Mizraim.
H4693 mâtsôr maw-tsore'
The same as H4692 in the
sense of a limit; Egypt
(as the border of Palestine): - besieged
places, defence, fortified. H4692
mâtsôr maw-tsore', From H6696; something hemming in, that is, (objectively)
a mound (of besiegers), (abstractly) a siege, (figuratively) distress; or (subjectively) a fastness:
- besieged, bulwark, defence, fenced, fortress, siege, strong (hold), tower.
So
Mitzrayim is synonym with place
of distress, stronghold, and a picture of the actual situation in the world,
the modern day Mitzrayim or Egypt.
Exo 5:1 and afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in and said to Pharaoh, “Thus
said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Let My people go, so that they keep
a festival to Me in the wilderness.’ ” ...Exo 5:23 “For ever since I came to
Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people. And You have
not delivered Your people at all.” Exo 6:1 then YHWH said
unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of
his land.
Haftorah
The Haftorah
show that the prophet YirmeYahu; like
Moshe was chosen from the womb of his
mother. He also would become a sharp mouth to the children of Israel and will
suffer because of his devotion and love to the Elohim of Abraham Itzhak and Ya’acov Yeshayahu was also a prophet called by Elohim, a man who got great revelation from the only true Elohim, to proclaim the glory of the
mighty one of Israel, to reveal Messiah
and his atoning work (YeshaYahu 53)
but also to warn and to comfort Yehudah
and Ephraim. The prophets were called
of יהוה to warn, correct, instruct
the people of Elohim to turn back
from their evil ways in order to escape judgment.
The love of our heavenly Father was always to warn our forefather of their evil
doing. The time we are living now is almost finish, there is no excuse for
those who do not turn back but keep going in their pernicious ways. When
Judgment will come on this day the Torah will be what will come upon the head
of each of us, either for good to those who follow Messiah or to destruction
for those who have despised the truth.
Ephraim
has been warned the House of Israel
has now the possibility to find himself and acknowledge his foolishness,
turning back from the Torah-less way to the truth embracing the faith of our
ancestors who followed יהושע Messiah
and never acknowledged “Jesus” the
Torah-less!...............Yrmeyahu the Name means: “Yehowah hurls”
or “Yehowah founds.” ISBE Hurl: to send whirling or to throw with violence יהוה send his
prophet to warn his people and also to encourage them to choose the way of
life. When reading we shall know that the north
is often used to indicate judgment coming.
Yrmeyahu
like Moshe thought that he was not
able to do the job and יהוה convince him by "putting His Words in his mouth", from now on, like Moshe, Yrmeyahu become a recipient for יהוה's work.
.....
The book
of Acts:
Luke
when writing the books of Acts, retraced the way of our ancestors saying that Elohim “turned and gave them up to
worship the host of the heaven, as it has been written in the book of the
Prophets” (Acts 7:39)
Sha’ul warned
that because people do not love the truth, יהוה will send a great “delusion that they believe a lie” (2nd
Tessal. 2:10-11)
Jer 1:1 The words of Yirmeyahu the son of Ḥilqiyahu, of the
priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Binyamin, ..Jer 1:2 to whom the word of יהוה came in the days of Yoshiyahu son
of Amon, sovereign of Yehuḏah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. Jer 1:3 And it came in the days of
Yehoyaqim, son of Yoshiyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, until the end of the
eleventh year of Tsiḏqiyahu, son of Yoshiyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, until
the exile of Yerushalayim in the fifth month. Jer 1:4 Now the word of יהוה came to me, saying,
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the
belly I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I did set you apart – I
appointed you a prophet to nations.” Jer 1:6 and said I, “Ah, Master יהוה! See, I do not
know how to speak, for I am a youth.” Jer 1:7 and יהוה said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a
youth,’ but go to all to whom I send you, and speak whatever I command you. Jer 1:8 “Do not fear their faces, for I
am with you to deliver you,” declares יהוה. Jer 1:9 Then יהוה put forth His hand and touched my
mouth, and יהוה said to me, “See,
I have put My words in your mouth. Jer 1:10 “See, I have this day set you
over the nations and over the reigns, to root out and to pull down, to destroy
and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jer 1:11 and the word of יהוה came to me, saying, “What do you
see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Jer 1:12 and יהוה said to me, “You have seen well,
for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Jer 1:13 and the word of יהוה came to me a second time, saying,
“What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from
the north.” Jer 1:14 and יהוה said to me, “Out of the north
evil is set loose on all the inhabitants of the land. Jer 1:15 “For look, I am calling all the
clans of the reigns of the north,” declares יהוה. “And they
shall come and each one set his throne at the entrance of the gates of
Yerushalayim, against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of
Yehuḏah. Jer 1:16 “And I shall pronounce My
judgments against them concerning all their evil, because they have forsaken
Me, burned incense to other mighty ones, and bowed themselves to the works of
their own hands. Jer 1:17 “Now, gird up your loins and
arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not break down before their
faces, lest I break you before them. Jer 1:18 “For look, I have made you this
day a walled city and an iron column, and bronze walls against all the land,
against the sovereigns of Yehuḏah, against her heads, against her priests, and
against the people of the land. Jer 1:19 “And they shall fight against
you, but not prevail against you. For I am with you,” declares יהוה, “to deliver
you.” Jer 2:1
and the word of יה יהוה וה came to me, saying,
Jer 2:2 “Go, and you shall cry in the
hearing of Yerushalayim, saying, ‘Thus said יהוה, “I remember
you, the kindness of your youth, the love of your bridehood, when you went
after Me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. Jer 2:3 “Yisra’ĕl was set-apart to יהוה, the
first-fruits of His increase. All who ate of it became guilty – evil came upon
them,” declares יהוה.’ ”
Isa 27:6
Those who come He causes to take root in Yaʽaqoḇ, Yisra’ĕl shall blossom and
bud. And they shall fill the face of
the world with fruit. Isa 27:7 Has He smitten him as He smote those who were smiting
him? Or were they slain as those they had slaughtered? Isa 27:8 In measure, by sending her away, You contended with
her. He shall take away by His rough wind in the day of the east wind. Isa 27:9 Therefore by this the crookedness of Yaʽaqoḇ is
covered. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he makes all
the stones of the altar like chalkstones that are beaten to dust – Ashĕrim and
sun-pillars rise no more.
Isa 27:10 for the
city of defence is lonely, a home forsaken and left like a wilderness – there
the calf feeds, and there it lies down, and shall consume its branches. Isa 27:11 when its twigs are dry, they are broken off, women
come and set them on fire. For it is a
people of no understanding, therefore He who made them has no compassion on
them, and He who formed them shows them no favour. Isa 27:12 and in that day it shall be that יהוה threshes, from the channel of the
River to the wadi of Mitsrayim. And you shall be gathered one by one1, O children of Yisra’ĕl. Footnote: 1Jer.
3:14-15. Isa 27:13 and in that day
it shall be that a great horn is blown, and those who were perishing in the
land of Ashshur and the outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall
worship יהוה on the set-apart mountain, in Yerushalayim.
Isa 28:1
Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards
of Ephrayim, and to the fading flower of its splendid comeliness that is on
the head of the fertile valley, to those who are overcome with wine! Isa 28:2 See, יהוה has one who is mighty and strong,
like a downpour of hail and a destroying storm, like a flood of mighty waters
overflowing, who casts down to the earth with the hand. Isa 28:3 the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephrayim, is trampled under foot;
Isa 28:4 and the fading flower of its splendid comeliness that is
on the head of the fertile valley, like the first fruit before the summer,
which, when one sees it, he eats it up while it is still in his hand. Isa 28:5 in that day יהוה of hosts is for a crown of
splendour and a head-dress of comeliness to
the remnant of His people, Isa 28:6 and a spirit of right-ruling to
him who sits in right-ruling, and strength to those who turn back the battle at
the gate. Isa 28:7 and these too have gone astray
through wine, and through strong drink wandered about. Priest and prophet have
gone astray through strong drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they wander
about through strong drink, they go astray in vision, they stumble in right-ruling.
Isa 28:8 for all tables shall be covered
with vomit, no place without filth. Isa 28:9 whom would He teach knowledge?
And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the breasts! (read what Sha'ul
write:
Heb 5:12 for when for
the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which
be the first principles of the oracles of יהוה; and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb 5:13 for every
one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a
babe.
Isa 28:10 for it is: command upon command,
command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a
little. Isa 28:11 for with a jabbering lip and a
foreign tongue He speaks to this people,
Isa 28:12 to whom He said, “This is the
rest, give rest to the weary,” and, “This is the refreshing.” But they would
not hear. Isa 28:13 but the Word of יהוה was to them, “Command upon
command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little,
there a little,” so that they go and shall stumble backward, and be broken and
snared and taken captive. Isa 29:22 Therefore thus said יהוה, who ransomed
Aḇraham, concerning the house of Yaʽaqoḇ, “Yaʽaqoḇ is no longer put to
shame, no longer does his face grow pale. Isa 29:23 “For when he sees his children,
the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall set apart My Name, and set apart
the Set-apart One of Yaʽaqoḇ, and fear the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
Act 7:17
“But as the time of the promise drew near which Elohim had sworn to Aḇraham,
the people increased and multiplied in Mitsrayim .... Act 7:43 ‘And you took up the tent of
Moleḵ, and the star of your mighty one Kiyyun, images which you made to bow
before them. Therefore I shall remove you beyond Baḇel.’ ……………May
יהוה the Elohim
and Father of our Adon יהושע bless
you as you keep the way of Torah.
