"TO THE TWELVE TRIBES WHICH ARE SCATTERED ABROAD, GREETING"

James 1:1 (Yaakov 1:1)

What does Torah Say about One man controling things.

What was the first thing Hitler did in his bid to take over Germany? One man rules everything you better hope he's a Yahweh Fearing man, or woman.

Hitler gave healthcare to all.

What came next? Controlling peoples hearts and minds. They did what they were told sortly after that.


"And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots." 1 Samuel 8:11

What Is The Role Of Government?

I started a new blog called "The Government Can". I saw Tim Hawkins' video on Facebook and wondered if I should say more.

So any case I remembered what Torah says that I should say something in or out of the land of Israel

"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." Ezekiel - Chapter 33 verse 6

We as Nazarene Israel must warn of great danger. What happens in America Effects all the world.

Keep in mind the two following verses.

"He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes [them] shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13

"The prince that lacks understanding [is] also a great oppressor: [but] he that hates covetousness shall prolong [his] days." Proverbs 28:16

The last one is about the prince of this land our current President. So sad President Obama doesn't realize how he's really hurting people.

To provide and Protect us, not control any part of lives. "Life, Liberty And The Pursuit of Happiness" is not achieved through throwing away the Constitution.

Why does YHVH allow suffering?

This question was posed to me recently.

It's clearly easier to suffer when we see there is a purpose, but not when we don't see one, we might want to fight or look for a way out. But how many times have we looked for a way out when we knew there was not one. Better to face something bravely, than be a sniveling coward.

"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Revelations 2:10

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variables, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

"[It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. " Psalms 119:71

In modern terms "No pain, No gain!" Think of the butterfly that must suffer as it makes it way out of the cocoon. If it is helped it won't have strength to be a butterfly and fly.

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have [her] perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, that givesh to all [men] liberally, and upbraided not; and it shall be given him." James 1:2-5

Yah's Blessings and Shalom!!!

Why is Yeshua So Important To Us?

Many people don't know who Messiah really is. Many think he was just a man, or his name was Jesus. Check out this article regarding his name He's not Zues's Son!

But he is the image of Yahweh(YHVH) Out of the mouth of Two witnesses shall a matter be decided; so two references I give!
  1. "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of Elohim, should shine unto them." 2 Corinthians 4:4
  2. "Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature:" Colossians 1:15
But the other critical factor is found in John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. The same was in the beginning with Elohim. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

This is foundation if you can understand it. Yeshua is the word that Yahwah spoke when creation took place. He was the word that was given to Moses to write down. He was the one who gave it, because the father has no physical form. Jacob wrestled with Yeshua, and then Moses saw Yeshua preincarnet and then received the Torah from him.

There is no difference from Yeshua who is at the right hand of the father, and the written word of a Torah scroll. If word have power and Yahweh spoke everything into existence through Yeshua shortly after creating him. Then all are the same.

Give a whole new meaning and understanding why Yeshua couldn't do away with anything in Torah because he is Torah.

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."Matthew 5:17-18

Years ago (about 8 years I believe) I have a Rabbi In New Jersey point out to me some basic in Judaism. One that stuck with me was that there is thought process that is common in Judaism; to abolish or destroy the Torah or the prophets or any portion of the writings was to misinterpret it. Where is on the other hand to fulfill something was to properly interpret something. This even makes more sense in the light of Christians who say is done away with. Note in the Hebrew translation of Matthew it says a jot is the letter Yod and a tittle is the top part of the letters in Hebrew that is referred to as the crown it is the pointy ones. Sorry for all the technical talk.

Then there is the verse 19 of Matthew 5 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Here Messiah is again clarifying things and gives a warning all at once.

Remember when you say any portion of Torah from Genesis to Revelation or in between is done away with, then you are doing away with Messiah Yeshua!

Yah's Blessings and Shalom,

resurrection verses reincarnation

There is the case of resurrection verses reincarnation. The is clear when Yeshua said Lazarus would be resurrected today. But Mary knew he would be resurrected at the end of time! "Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." John 11:24 She didn't doubt this fact because it wasn't a new concept of be resurrected in the end time. But how could he have been resurrected if he was set to be reincarnated. Granted he died again some time much later. Yet he couldn't have been raised up that day from the grave.

I don't have a problem with reincarnation, accept I can't find Torah to support for it. I know there a vague reference that may look like it to the untrained eyes, but they would seem to then contradict other scripture. Why didn't Yeshua simple say, don't worry he will be reincarnated else where.

The other problem with Reincarnation and that is what Hebrews 9:27 is clear about it! "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" This verse is clear about one time you live. There is also the story of Samuel and King Saul. He went to the witch of Endor and she summoned up Samuel. If reincarnation were true how could he be called up. "And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou may make known unto me what I shall do." I Samuel 28:15

The idea is appealing to many because they want another chance. We must make the right choices now! "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)" 2 Corinthians 6:2

"Thus says YHVH, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;" Isaiah 49:8

I would like to see more on this. It all seems fascinating to Midrash over.

Tying The Tzitzi!

As I write this I am in the mist of tying a new set of Tzitzi. Many of you know what I am talking about.

Numbers 15:38 and 39. “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of Yahweh, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes."

The blue cord in the tzitzi is also know as a representative of Messiah Yeshua. He is that which give the rest of the Tzitzi value and sets it apart. Much like when Yeshua went into the garden to pray. He took with him three, Peter, James, and John. The same way we add three white threads to the group. As I was pulling the three white ones from the twelve. (Like the twelve disciples); the blue one touched the ground. I inadvertently stepped on it.

My mind raced into the story of how Yeshua was bruise for us and killed. But then he rose again.

I picked up the Blue one and put it with the other three to be tied. Once the first two knots are tied, then comes the separating of the blue from the rest. I didn't have the blue thread up enough and had to a just it, much in the way I had to adjust my understanding of who Messiah Yeshua was. Now I am ready to separate the blue from the rest.

Whatever style you tie you Tzitzi doesn't matter. Torah just says to do it. I prefer to do it in Y H V H, which comes out to 10, 5, 6, 5.

As I do the knots the color from the blue thread gets on my hands. I think of Messiah's blood that is my fault as much as any man or woman born, that caused him to have to die. His blood that washes me a new, then remission of sin happens. His blood that cleanses my guilt and then heals me!

The Tzitzi also reminds me of a Cat of Nine tales (a whip), that Yeshua took for my healing, his blood also poured out then. By his strips I am healed.

"But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed." I Peter 2:24

As I constantly check to make sure the ties are done right, I am reminded of accountability. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5:16 This isn't talking about saying how bad you are, so much as sharing things that you are week in. We have to be honest in what we are. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Mesisha may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

"Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 From this we see that we are doing this if we don't fellowship with one another; because we will fellowship with someone. The other treads be come Tzadik (righteous) when they are put with the T'khayleht (blue). They are tied and made into something that will help me remember the covenant and do Right.

As I do the blue ties by themselves I will at time have the blue over lap and I have to fix it to be able to tell it from the others. This is again much like I must be sure and check to make my understanding of Messiah Yeshua is correct.

John 1:1-4 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.The same was in the beginning with Elohim. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

Messiah is the word; The Torah and that is why he couldn't change Torah in anyway!

I am not on the second one in a the set of 4. Like the four corners of the compass, The way we wave the Lulav in 4 direction, then we do it above and below. We acknowledge he is supreme in all directions. The same way Yahweh will call all of Israel from the 4 corners of the earth.

Who knows what wearing your Tzitzi will do, in the physical world and the spiritual world. It might the very thing that reaches someone's soul and into their spirit. It is the same as when we blow the shofar and then declare all of Israel to repent and return to observance. There are spiritual ramifications to all we do.


I am now tying the last one, and as I put each one on my garment, I say the blessing!

It is always a struggle to get all 4 tied, but then again so is growth hard to come by. Still it does work into you and changes you and the is beauty from pain. As Yeshua's broken body did a beautiful work. There is joy in seeing them finished, much a mother during labor, seeing the new baby lessen the pain that happen to birth forth the child!

I tie my own because that is part of the journey in Torah for me!

Yah's Blessing and Shalom!

Nazarene Goals

As Nazarene we have clear goals and directions we should be working towards.

What we are trying to do is proclaim two things "To the law(Torah) and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variables, neither shadow of turning. " James 1:17

The foundation pillars of Torah "Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to YHVH, to serve him, and to love the name of YHVH, to be his servants, every one that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;" Isaiah 56:6
  1. The name of YHVH
  2. The Sabbath
  3. The Covenant
These are key for those of us who are not mire messianic believers. If you really believe all that the Testimony said then you must follow the Torah. He was the goal of the Torah. "For the Messiah is the goal of the Torah, for righteousness to all who believe, " Romans 10:4 (HRV -The Hebrew Roots Version) Many translation into English from Greek Texts use the word end instead of goal. Still even so, the endzone in a football game is not the end of the game once reached unless the time has run out. Hence the time frame regarding the end of the world or the passing of the Torah. Yeshua Messiah's second coming is key before end of the world.

Again as Nazarene we believe nothing is done away with.
More to come.

Does it really matter what name I use?

I know many people who would never call there girlfriend or boyfriend by the wrong name. Just try to call your spouse by an old sweetie's name and see what happens. Will the they be happy?

Yet many people have no problem with calling the maker of Heaven and Earth by the pagan name. I know some of you reading this may know where I am going with this line of thought.

In Joel 2:32 states: "And it shall come to pass, that who ever shall calls on the name of YVHV shall be delivered: for in mount Tzion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as YHVH has said, and in the remnant whom YHVH shall call"

So on the day of distress or destruction I will call on the name of YHVH. "For whoever shall call upon the name of YHVH shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Yah's Blessings and Shalom,
more to come...

The Torah and The Testimony

"And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Elohim of Yaakov; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Tzion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2:3

"To the Torah and to the Testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20

"Who bares record of the word of Elohim, and of the testimony of Yeshua Messiah, and of all things that he saw." Revelations 1:2
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Elohim, and for the testimony which they held:" Revelations 6:9; 20:4 also.

The Torah (the law or word of Elohim) and The Testimony (Yeshua Messiah). The two important things that make us Nazarenes hence why Messiah restated the important of them both.

Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32 make clear refereces to the fact of not changing or adding or subtracting from the Torah.

More later...

Genesis 1:2

"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters."

As always there is more in the verse than we will talk about in this post.

But what we see the verse first of all is the state of Planet Earth. As mentioned in the previous post regarding the Book of Enoch; The angels had their day and had destroyed everything with HaSatan's (Satan) fall.

There was no light, which is a whole subject in itself, but to say the least about it. Yahweh had to made darkness by contracting himself, hence pulling his very self back a bit to eliminate his light.

Then Yahweh moved over the waters, above and below.

More to come...

Genesis 1:1 the verse!

We looked at what happened before the first verse started.

As we now look at the verse what is really happening. I am not going to tell you everything for two reasons.
  1. We don't know everything that happened.
  2. You could fill volumes of books enough to make a whole library; from what we do!
Mainly we want to make it clear that the Creator of the universe created. I know the obvious issue, yet the order of things is important. "In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. "

In Hebrew the world of the Torah is different. Verse 1 starts with Breshet (In the beginning), Next is YHVH made Then Aleph and Tav. Reference to Yahushua, later called Yeshua in the Brit Hadasha (Nazarene Texts) as mentioned in the previous post. Heaven and Earth is last.

YHVH Made everything. "YHVH has made all things for himself: yes, even the wicked for the day of evil." Proverbs 16:4

"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him." Job 13:15 " Let every thing that has breath praise YHVH. Praise you YHVH." Psalms 150:6

YHVH spoke that is how he made things. But before we got to Verse 2 of Genesis 1. According to the book of Enoch the Angels built cities and temples unto YHVH. Then they fell and were destroyed led by HaSatan (Satan).

Isaiah 14:12-15 "How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

When he fell he dragged a group of Angels with him. The earth was made void. That is why we see the situation that takes place in Verse two.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

Genesis 1:1 What's happening?

Genesis 1:1 What's Happening here ? But first what happened before this? Yahweh birthed forth his son.

John 1:1-2 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. The same was in the beginning with Elohim. "

John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

"Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature:" Colossians 1:15

All of Yahweh was there including the image of Elohim, Yeshua.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth." This is clearly the beginning of everything. In the Hebrew of Genesis the first word is "IN THE BEGINNING" Breshet, in fact many Hebrew language bibles call the first book Breshet.

What's really notable is that after that word is two Hebrew letters which have no apparent reason to be there. An Aleph and then a Tav. The first letter of the Hebrew language and the last letter of the Hebrew language.

We find out later that Yeshua stated: 4 times in Revelations that he is the beginning and the end Aleph and the Tav. Greek reference use the Greek letters. Revelations 1:8, 1:11, 21:6 and 22:13 all clearly state this.

When we see this connections value, we realize that Messiah is the image and the instrument by which the Father made all that is.

Many people fail to acchknowledge that their "god" made evil. Yet Torah clearly states he did.

"YHVH has made all things for himself: yes, even the wicked for the day of evil." Proverbs 16:4

The Subject Of Questions - WWJD?

WWJD - What Would Jesus Do?

  1. His name was Yeshua, not Jesus.
  2. Second He kept Sabbath.
  3. Third he held fast the covenant - hence Torah
  4. He knew the name of (god) was YHVH and never called him anything but that.
  5. He went about healing and clarifying Torah not Abolishing it.
  6. He was never a carpenter.

More To Come.

Yah's Blessings and Shalom!
