There seems to be some confusion with my spelling of
Y’Ishra‘al, in the believe that al stands for Allah, if you
look at the word Y’Ishra’al ; The Y is the stick pictured

the house of YahuwDah; The ISH is the name for man

is for you too!
Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be
protected, pray,
and hear from
ב YâHuWsHúa.
Knowing there is such a place is a matter of faith. Going back time and
again, that's a matter of building a relationship. You need not have an
advanced degree in any subject, need not have memorized Scripture
from beginning to end, but instead
be aware the
Of Y’Ishra’al
Has a place for each Jew and Gentile who will open their minds and
hearts to Him.
Mt 6:5-8
When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have
received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner
chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in
secret, and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In
praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be
like them, don't you see that your Father knows what things you need
before you ask Him.
The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared
by those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.
It is written
Lu 11:33
“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,
but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.
Tehillim. 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole
body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of
darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it
shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining
gives you Light.”
ב
With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study together in the
Raukh
And now brothers and sisters
Come out of the secret place bearing light!
Who see it from afar? The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of light so
many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen are addressed to
Jew and Gentile together. We do this because that is what the Bible
does. This opens the window to make more sense of what Scripture
tells us!
In the secret place is plain language, something simple to read. This is a
mere starting place for deeper consideration.

Dan_7:25
And it shall speak words opposing the Most High, and it will wear
down the pure ones of the Most High Ones, and it will try to change set
times (Festivals) and Law, (Lawlessness) and they shall be granted into
its hand for a time and times and half of a time.
And then I will profess to them,
‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are on My lap and do not do
the will of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My lap will I cast you
away! Depart from Me, all ye workers of Lawlessness!’
So that in them is fulfilled the prediction of Yshá`Yâhuw, which says:
“You shall surely hear, but you shall not understand; and you shall
surely see, but you shall not perceive! For the heart of this people has
grown thick, and they do hardly hear with the ears, and they have shut
their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, and with their ears
they should hear, and their heart should understand, and they should
return to Me and I should cure them.
The Hebrew Bible is fully aware of that. Deuteronomy declares the
worship of sun, moon,
and stars as allotted by
that is to all the other peoples
Dev 4:19.
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto Shomayim, and when thou seest
the
Shemesh, and the yarei'ach, and the kokhavim, even all the tz’va
HaShomayim, shouldest be driven to hishtachaveh (bow down, worship)
them, and serve them which Hashem Aloheicha hath divided unto kol
HaGoyim under kol HaShomayim.
Duet 4:19
"or lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and see the sun, the
moon, the stars, and all the armies of heaven, you should be impelled
to bow down to them or enslave yourselves to these [things] that
has apportioned to all the nations under the whole heaven;
Anyone can see the heavenly bodies, but we have heard from
There is no “hard copy” of Him! People want something they can
identify with, which is what makes the “god-man” concept so attractive,
because it makes them think they can be gods too. We can only
understand what
Allows us to know about Himself, and we cannot control what we cannot
comprehend. Apportioned: divided, assigned, distributed; Aramaic,
"designated to serve". I.e., He gave them to all the nations and they
are common (contrast v. 20).
But none of them is to be identified specifically with
Dev 4:20
But Hashem hath taken you, and brought you forth
Out of the iron furnace, even out of Mitzrayim, to be unto Him an Am
Nachalah (a people of inheritance), as ye are yom hazeh.
"But
has selected you, and brought you out from the crucible of iron--from Egypt--to become His own--for the purpose of being a people [that are His own] prized
possession, just as [is the case] today."
Any wood placed into a furnace for smelting iron would be consumed
immediately. Egypt completely used them up, while feeding them—like
pack animals. Even the products forged of iron there—chariots—were
used to kill them. Now they were going to a place that would serve
them rather than consuming them. Nothing in the Tabernacle was
made of iron;
Had no use for it at this point. Prized possession: How awesome! Why
throw away such a rare privilege and settle for something that the
nations all stoop to--nations that He considered a mere drop in the
bucket in comparison
Yeshayah40:15?
Surely the Goyim are like a drop in a bucket, and are accounted as dust
of the scales; surely He taketh up the iyim (islands) like fine dust.
Isa 40:15
See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the
balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust.

Melachim Bais 23:5,

of YahuwDah had ordained to burn ketoret in the high places in the
towns of YahuwDah, and in the places around Yerushalayim; them also

And he put down the black-robed priests whom the sovereigns of
YahuwDah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the
cities of YahuwDah and in the places all around Yerushalayim, and those
who burned incense to Baʽal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the
constellations, and to all the host of the heavens
Melachim Bais 23:11
And he took away the susim that the Melachim of YahuwDah had
dedicated to the shemesh, at the entrance of the Beis Hashem, by the
chamber of Natan-Melech the saris, which was in the colonnades, and
set eish to merkevot
Hashemesh.

he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Yirmeyah 8:2
And they shall spread them out before the shemesh, and the yarei'ach,
and all the tz'va haShomayim, whom they have loved, and whom they
have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have
consulted, and whom they have worshiped; they shall not be gathered
up, nor be buried in a kever; they shall be like domen upon the surface
of ha'Âthâ´m ah.
Yirmeyah 8:2 ;( modern version)
And shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of
the heavens, which they have loved and which they have served and
after which they have walked, which they have sought, and to which
they have bowed themselves. They shall not be gathered nor buried;
they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
And He brought me into the khatzer Beis Hashem hapenimit [i.e., the

The regathering has now begun,
The robe of Righteousness that YaHuWsHua wore
The deepest mystery of creation is that YHWH gave man free will to
do as he chooses, yet YHWH directs man in such a way that in the end,
he has no option but to acknowledge that YHWH is righteousness; man
has no inner righteousness, because
Romans 3:23
All have sinned, and fall short of the splendor of YHWH
Sin is the breaking of the commandments; that produce Righteousness
1 Yâhuwchânâ’n 3:4
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness
[Breaks Torah].
In fact, sin is lawlessness
[Being without Torah].
1 Yâhuwchânâ’n 5:17
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
It is as simple as that!
1 Yâhuwchânâ’n 3:7
My sons, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is
righteous, even as He is righteous.
(That’s it in a Nutshell)
Righteousness is the gift granted you and me, in repentance, belief
and immersion, it’s the invisible seed of the Raukh HaQodesh that
YâHuWasHúa promised to send; it came down upon the true believers in
the acts of the Emissaries; has the Father promised, in the very first
chapter
The Ascension and the Promise
Acts 1:1
The first account I indeed wrote concerning all the things which our
Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed began to both perform and to
instruct, O friend of ’Äluahiym (mighty Ones),
Friend of ’Äluahiym: probably the proper name, Theophilos. Served as
High Priest from 37 to 42 C.E. Theophilos was both a priest and a
Sadducee. It would appear that the Gospel [of Luwqá’, which was
addressed to him also] was intended to be used by others as well and
was likely targeted at Sadducee [Tzadoqim] readers. Theophilos was
the son of Annas and the brother-in-law of Caiaphas; ...he grew up in
the Temple.” Apparently he was interested in the history of
YaHuWsHua and his Talmidim. I: YaHuWsHua said he finished the work
YHWH had given him (Yoch. 17:4), so the continuation is up to us (see v.
8), just as Y’hoshua, his namesake, finished Moshe’s work. There are
many parallels between this book and Y’hoshua. Both speak of the next
step in the preparation of Y’Ishra’al to function as a people.
Acts 1:2.
Is until that day in which He was taken up, having given a command to
the pupils whom He chose through the Rúakh (spirit) of the Pure One,
(Modern version)
. Until the day he was taken up, having given orders on account of the
Raukh (Spirit) of Being Set Apart to the delegates whom he had
chosen for himself,
Acts 1:3.
To whom He also presented His Self-living after His suffering, by many
criteria of certainty, being seen by them during forty days, and
speaking the things about the Kingdom of YHWH!
To whom, after [having undergone] his suffering, he had presented
himself to be among the living through many indisputable proofs, being
seen by them over the course of forty days and discussing the things
concerning the Kingdom of YHWH.
Acts 1:4.
And, while eating bread together with Him, He charged them:
“Do not depart from Yruwshâláim; instead, stay around for the promise
of the Father, which ye did hear of Me,
And, meeting together with them, he gave them orders not to leave
Yerushalayim, but to wait around for [what] the Father had promised,
“Which you have learned about from me;
Acts 1:5.
For Yâhuwchânâ´n indeed immersed within water, but ye shall be
immersed within the Raukh (spirit) of the Pure One after not many
days.”
As Yâhuwchânâ´n indeed immersed in water; you will also be immersed
by the Raukh HaQodesh after not many of these days.”
These days: the Counting of the Omer between the Firstfruits of the
Barley Harvest and Shavuoth. Heb., Rúakh HaQodesh is the proper
name for the outer sanctuary in the Temple. It contained the menorah
(a picture of YaHuWsHua and his Talmidim, the vine and the branches),
the Table of the Bread of the Faces (a picture of the twelve tribes of
Ishra’al in unity), and the altar of incense (a picture of prayers rising
as a refreshment to YHWH). The priests would go there to trim the
wicks, maintain the coals on the altar, or change out the old bread for
the new. It was a place for working. The overall picture is of Ishra’al
back in unity again, tending to the things of YHWH in His presence,
with a Mediator interceding where needed. It is a picture of the
Kingdom that YaHuWsHua taught his Talmidim about.
The word for Rúakh, in both Greek and Hebrew, also means “Breath” or
“Wind”. YaHuWsHua went on ahead of us to establish the Kingdom, and
sent a Wind back to draw us toward the Kingdom. We need to ride it
into the Kingdom by taking the steps He reveals to us each day:
sin
SIN
'awen (H205), "iniquity; vanity; sorrow." Some scholars believe that
this term has cognates in the Arabic words 'ana, ("to be fatigued,
tired") and 'aynun ("weakness; sorrow; trouble"), or with the Hebrew
word 'ayin ("nothingness"). This relationship would imply that 'awen
means the absence of all that has true worth; hence, it would denote
Sin brought forth skin, the human race as a result of breaking
YHWH commandments in the Garden of Eden, a that time
Âthâ´m composition was of energy /light ; he was to be born into
the very family of YHWH, He was the rightful replacement for
Lucifer, who’s description in Ezekiel , grants us a small glimpse
into Âthâ´m, the last reminder we have of that light reflection
robe of Âthâ´m is our finger nails, for sin replaced light
reflection to darkness, and sin caused Âthâ´m to be barred
from the very tree of life, and become humankind
"moral worthlessness," as in the actions of wrongdoing, evil devising, or
false speaking.
You know the word sin actually means to miss the mark, scripture
speaks of two marks, the mark of HaSatan, and the mark of the set
apart (those anointed in him) one those who keep the commandments
and adhere to the testimony of YaHuWsHua HaMeshiakh
IMPORTANT
We obtain the mark of YHWH, through repentance, belief and
immersion, and the laying on of the hands of those who contended for
the true once delivered unto the saints/ disciples of YaHuWsHua, it’s a
free gift, the robe of YaHuWsHua (Raukh HaQodesh) unities with our
Raukh and we inherit the seed to his family and kingdom
Time is running out, the door will not be open for always, you have been
given another Gift (a free Rúakh/ spirit)with inherit free thought, and
word, be wise

Sin separates us from our Father: Has humankind (the result of sin) we
are utterly helpless to reverse the penalty of sin.( death)
Bber 2:7
YHWH Aluahiym formed man (adamah) from the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life(s) ; and man became a
living being.
Is a living being to house the souls "Yet that soul can die; the body
physically/ the Rúakh (soul) also
Ychezqa’l 18:4
Behold, all beings are Mine; as the being of the father, so also the
being of the son is Mine: the being who sins, he shall die.
That verse was so important it was written twice in the same chapter
Ychezqa’l 18:20
The being who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of
the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the
righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of
the wicked shall be on him
You need to take this seriously
Mat 18:16
“But if he does not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the
mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be established.’
When sin entered creation it changed the whole structure of ’Âthâ´m,
instead of being born into the very family of YHWH cloaked in his
righteousness (of light) he now became a living nephesh chayah (living-
being dependent on air)
Sin darkens the light of righteousness
YaHuWsHua
Summoned the multitude, and said to them,
“Hear, and understand.
So YaHuWsHua said
, “Do you also still not understand? Don’t you understand that whatever
goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the
heart,(mind) and they defile the man. For out of the heart come forth
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false witness,
and blasphemies. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat
with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
1 Yâhuwchânâ’n 3:8
He who sins is from the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the
beginning.
We read “Sin pays it wage” twice in scripture
Ychezqa’l 18:4
Behold, all beings are Mine; as the being of the father, so also the
being of the son is Mine: the being who sins, he shall die.
The same idiom of the reversal of this proverb is used in
YirmeYahuw 31:29,
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour
grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
Set on edge: or dulled, made blunt (by the grinding). The Aramaic
interprets this as the children being punished for their fathers’ sins.
We will no longer be held accountable for what our ancestors did
wrong. (We have been paying for what they did 2,730 years ago.)
YHWH has mercy, but there is also now no room for excuses; we will
also not get away with our own sins:
YirmeYahuw 31:30
But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour
grapes, his own teeth shall be set on edge.
But the fuller context there is the exile of both houses of Y’Ishra’al
Repentance is not a human trait; it comes from fear of YHWH; it
breaks the very spirit of man, and returns one to clay to be molded
again, by the hand of the father……
Many times he has broken this pot, because it was not the shape has
he wanted……………
My sins are forgiven but the punishment is still there, actions have
consequences, even though today. I have long since repented of my
sins, (entered into immersion) ( both Physical and Raukhual) those I
hurt, have cast me aside, I pray daily for their forgiveness, in tears on
bended knee, I ask for nothing in return, yet being alone is a prison
unto itself; my father knows my heart ( the seat of my mind) and I
think often on the words “ if only” I know “ I AM “ not worthy;
His Torah is being written on my heart by daily constant meditation
and habitual rehearsing its in my mind until it becomes second nature.
What is written (engraved) our hearts is not easily forgotten
How can one be cleansed?
Tehillim. 119 (beyt)
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By living according to Your Word. With my whole heart, I have sought
You. Don’t let me wander from Your Commandments. I have hidden Your
Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O
YHWH Teach me Your statutes. With my lips, I have declared all the
ordinances of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your
testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts,
and consider Your Ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes.
I will not forget Your Word.
YirmeYahuw 31:27
Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I shall sow the House of
Ishra’al and the House of YahuwDah with the seed of man, and with
the seed of animals.
Which will be accomplished within a few weeks of Y’hezq’al’s prophecy
here. Thus all of Y’Ishra’al is still inheriting the punishment their
fathers earned. But this "inclusion" puts all of Y’Ishra’al in the
category of guilty
But Joy of Joys
Rom. 11:32
For YHWH has shut up [sugkleio, "locked up"] ALL to disobedience,
that He might have compassion on ALL.
And this sets the stage for the Renewed Covenant for both houses
together.
Heb 8:10ff
But this is the covenant I will make with the people of Yshra’al on
That Day, says YHWH, I will put My Torah in their minds so they will
understand them and I will write them on their hearts so they will
obey them. I will be their Aluahiym, and they will be My people
Thus, though he begins to foretell it now, this promise does not apply
immediately. The correction must come first. The exile is just
beginning, and in some ways it will last about 2,600 years. Some try to
say that if each one will die for his own sins, and all one needs to do to
be counted righteous again is repent (as the rest of this chapter would
seem to imply), then YaHuWsHua’s blood slaughter was not necessary—
and YahuwDah often concludes that no blood slaughter is necessary
today because of this chapter.
But many other Scriptures
(notably chapters 40-49 of this very book)
Make it clear that blood slaughter will again be a regular activity in the
Temple that is yet to come, and without YaHuWsHua’s slaughter for
the whole nation
(Yâhuwchânâ’n 11:50),
the tribes that had forsaken the covenant could not have been
regathered, nor can there be a Kingdom without the King. So the
assertions made in this chapter, like those in the “New Covenant” must
be taken in the overall context of the rest of Scripture, not in
isolation. Since the regathering has now begun, though, our emphasis
must be on making sure we do not continue in the sins of our ancestors,
so that we will not continue to inherit the curse they brought upon
themselves and us.
Deut. 27:26
"'Cursed is [anyone] who does not uphold the words of this instruction
by carrying them out.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
Cursed is he who doesn’t confirm the words of this Torah to do them.’
All the people shall say, ‘Amein.’”
Uphold: or ratify, establish, apply, implement, and continue in an
already-existing authority, with the sense of making it foundational—
not thinking you are really a Bible-believer while you are marginalizing
the Torah. It is our job not just to hear the Torah, but to let it
change our walk and make sure it is clear for all Ishra’al to see. The
priests and the whole nation formed a great cloud of witnesses. All of
us in the Northern Kingdom had ancestors who completely gave up on
continuing in the Torah (instruction), and everyone has gaps in his
obedience, so we are all under a curse.
But
Yirmeyahu (11:1ff)
and
Y’hezq’al (18:26ff)
uphold the fact that we would not be cursed if we turn back to Torah.
Y’hoshua 8:33
tells us that rather than standing on the two mountains
(as verses 12 and 13 specified),
which are only two miles apart, they only stood in front of the two
mountains, to give the blessings and curses. Already they were
deviating from Moshe’s instruction, opening the door for the next
generation to almost completely forget YHWH’s instructions.
Cursed is he who doesn’t confirm the words of this Torah to do them.’
All the people shall say, ‘Amein.’”
Finally
Lawlessness
Titus wrote
For the Favour of YHWH has been revealed, bringing deliverance to all
people. And we are instructed to turn from wicked living and sinful
pleasures. We should live in this evil world with self-control, right
conduct, and devotion to YHWH, while we look forward to that
wonderful event when the splendor of our great Mighty One and Life-
Giver, YaHuWsHua HaMeshiakh, will be manifested. Who gave His
Self for us in order that He might ransom us from all lawlessness,
and cleanse for Himself a people to treasure, zealous of good
works. You must teach these things and encourage your people to do
them, correcting them when necessary. You have the authority to do
this, so don't let anyone ignore you or disregard what you say.
Or have you forgotten so soon
Mt. 1:21
And look! She shall bring forth a son. You shall call His name
YaHuWsHua, for it is "He Who will save His people from their sins".”
(this is the exact meaning of His Name in Ibriy .....
YaHuWsHua = I AM HE who SAVES)
Acts 3:19
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out,
so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of
YHWH,
Alternate reading: 19.
“Therefore chisel out your [mistakes] and turn back in order that what
you got out of line may be wiped clean [from memory] and coated back
over and seasons of refreshment may come upon you from before
YHWH, Chisel: dig, hollow, scrape as an engraving scribe does. Turn
back: reverse, restore, refresh, in the same imagery of the engraver
obliterating his mistake and going back over it to fill it in with new
mortar so it can be rewritten correctly:
LISTEN
Acts3:25-26
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which
YHWH made with our Fathers, saying to Abraham, For I shall surely
bless you and I shall surely increase your Seed as the stars of the
skies and as the sand that is on the shore of the sea, and your Seed
will possess the gates of His enemies,] And all of the heathen masses
of the earth shall be blessed through your Seed, [because you obeyed
Me.]”
[Bber22: 17-18]
The Mighty One, when He raised up His Son YaHuWsHua, sent Him to
you first, blessing you by turning each of you away from your wicked
ways.”
We are commisioned to bring hope to those who are lost
“He said,
“I am YaHuWsHuaof Netsarowth,
Nevertheless get up and stand on your feet, for I appeared to you for
this purpose: to appoint you an attendant and a witness both of that
you did see Me and that in the future I shall appear to you, rescuing
you from among the people of YehuwDdah and other people unto whom
I send you forth now,To open their eyes,
That they may turn from the darkness unto the Light
and from the authority of the Adversary unto YHWH, that they may
receive liberation from sins and an inheritance among those that have
been purified by the persuasion in Me.”
Romans 6:1.
What shall we say, then? That we should continue in sin so that grace
might overflow?
These seems a logical conclusion, and indeed one that some have
drawn.
Romans 6:2.
May it never be! How can we who died to sin continue to live in it?
Shall those who have put our confidence in the Obedient one go on
living in disobedience? (Nanos) Why should we who have been given a
new nature which is obedient keep living according to the old?While
YHWH sovereignly used sin’s presence to provide a starker background
by which to highlight His love and purity, sin is now a foreign thing to
us, and thus is no longer appropriate, even though the penalty has
already been paid.
Romans 6:3.
Or aren’t you aware that all who were immersed into Meshiakh
YaHuWsHua were immersed into His death?
Ritual immersion as had been practiced by Ishra’al for centuries
before this is a picture of dying--a clean break with an old condition--
and entering into a new life. It is used when converting to the worship
of YHWH, when re-entering a ritually pure condition after being in a
state of defilement, when taking on a new role (such as priest), and
when preparing to enter the Temple, the symbol of YHWH’s presence
on earth. Crossing the Yarden River into the Sacred Land was another
example of the same imagery; thus it is very appropriate that the only
recorded instance of YaHuWsHua’s immersion was also in the Yarden
River, making both pictures converge!
Romans 6:4.
Thus we were buried with Him through immersion into His death, in
order that just as Meshiakh was raised from the dead in glory of the
Father, we should likewise walk in newness of life.
Glory: majesty as exhibited in deeds of power, by which His name
comes to be held in high estimation. Newness: Aramaic, renewal.
Bullinger’s Companion Bible renders it “life-long newness”. Guthrie
summarizes: “Salvation from wrath… is only the negative side of
[justification]. If [Meshiakhs] death achieves the negative aspect, His
life is the basis for the positive.”
Romans 6:5.
For if we have been planted together in the representation of His
death, we shall certainly also be [united with Him] in the resurrection;
Planted together: Bullinger, identified. While the main uniting is with
Meshiakh, there is room for this statement to include the two Houses
of Ishra’al (here seen as Jew and Gentile) also being united to one
another in the process. Representation (depiction) of His death: that
is, the immersion mentioned above, by which we demonstrate that
identification openly. The term actually means a likeness “well-nigh to
equality”. (Thayer)
Romans 6:6.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, so that the body
could cease to operate as an instrument of sin, and we should
therefore no longer be slaves to sin,
Our old man: or humanity--the nature inherited from Adam, with its
corrupted traits; the underlying “sin” that only results in “sins”, the
particular instances. Contrast with the “new man” of Eph. 2:15; 4:24;
Col. 3:10. Cease to operate as: or, that the body of sin might be
deprived of its effectiveness by disuse; Aramaic, be annulled. This is
an indirect answer to the charge that the Torah was being “done away
with”—the same word used in 3:31. This connection explains his logic in
the next two chapters that it is we, not the Torah, that are done away
with. Doing away with the sins is not enough; the sinner must be
executed, so the motivating factor itself changes, not just the actions,
though by the same token, the actions must change or there is no
evidence that the
Romans 6:7.
because whoever has died has been freed from sin.
Freed: legally acquitted from the jurisdiction of sin, since, in
YHWH’s eyes, if Meshiakh died in our place, it is truly we who have
died. (Grubb) Having participated in YaHuWsHua’s death means that we
have no obligation to our passions or old habits, just as a freed slave
can disregard any commands his former master shouts at him, though
shout he still does and the conditioning runs deep.
Romans 6:8.
But if we died with the Meshiakh, we have confidence that we shall
also live with Him,
This gives new meaning to the old hymn that asks, “Were you there
when He rose up from the grave?” Indeed we were!
Romans 6:9.
[since we] know that the Meshiakh was raised from the dead, never to
die again; death no longer holds power over Him.
Others were raised from the dead, but assumedly died again, since
they were brought back into the same fallen, corrupt bodies.
Romans 6:10.
For [the death] that He died, He died once and for all [in reference]
to sin, but insofar as He is alive, He [keeps on] living for YHWH.
As in 5:15, the positive aspect prevails: though death accomplished
this separation from the cancer that had overtaken us, the real intent
was to bring us to the lifestyle we were always meant to have—as
“slaves to righteousness” (v. 18). The Torah lifestyle (when the spirit
behind it is understood properly) is what holds the old nature at bay.
To the immediate audience, this meant subordinating freedoms that
they found enjoyable (v. 17; 12:1ff; 16;17) to the higher goal of being
able to reunite with a Yehudah that was still hesitant to believe that
YHWH had also brought new life to these “Gentiles” as well (ch. 14-15),
thus proving that the Meshiakh (whose role it is to inaugurate this)
must have already come. If we are in Him, and He in us, every bit of
our energy should be moving in the same direction, not working against
what He is doing:
Romans 6:11.
You, too, must then recognize yourselves to be dead indeed in regard
to sin, but alive for YHWH's sake, in identification with the Meshiakh
(who is our Master, YaHuWsHua).
Recognize: or consider; let this understanding so pervade your
consciousness so as to make the positional truth effective in
practicality.
Romans 6:12.
So do not let sin be "king" in regard to your mortal body, [pulling you
back] under a [perceived obligation to] listen to its cravings;
Mortal body: Aramaic, dead body, referring back to the body that
has been immersed into YaHuWsHua’s death, and thus declared dead as
far
as any obligation to sin is concerned. Cravings: Aramaic, pantings.
Romans 6:13.
neither should you yield yourselves to sin as tools of unrighteousness,
but rather place yourselves at YHWH’s disposal, as alive but having
come out of a condition of being dead, and yield the members of your
bodies to YHWH as instruments of righteousness,
Tools: passively used for another’s purpose, as pawns for YHWH’s
antagonist (for no one can be anything but a slave to either sin or
YHWH, v. 16). Contrast this with the active, conscious yielding to a new
Master.
Romans 6:14.
because sin shall no longer lord it over you, since you are no longer
subject to Torah, but to the power of YHWH's empowering favor..
No longer subject to Torah: i.e., not under its authority to condemn
you, though this is for the purpose of now becoming its active partners.
Paul contrasts it to YHWH’s empowerment in a way he never does with
the Torah itself (7:12), so this term must, like “the works of Torah”,
have referred to a particular heresy that misunderstands what
obedience to Torah means.Stern renders “Torah” here as “legalistic
interpretation of Torah”. and notes that the Greek word nomos, which
can mean Torah or any law, stems from a Hebrew/Aramaic root
meaning “to civilize” or “make polite”, which is indeed what the Torah
does for us. There is no choice but to be obedient now; the choice is
between whether to submit to Meshiakh “easy yoke” (Mat. 11:28ff) or a
view of Torah as burdensome, which emphasizes its power to condemn.
Empowering favor: includes both amnesty for sin and the ability
generously given to be able to accomplish what Torah aimed at--the
positive effects of holiness, without unnecessary fear of being
condemned for going about it wrongly. Since YaHuWsHua has
undergone the penalty for the time when we were not obedient, Torah
now has only positive meaning for those who submit to it: teaching us
countless things about YHWH and His Meshiakh (Heb. 10:7), bringing
us great reward (Tehillim 19:11), freeing us from unnecessary obstacles
(Ex. 15:26; Yehoshua 1:8). Our attitude toward it now can be one of
unmixed love. (Tehillim. 119:97) How this became translated to ignoring
it completely is a sample of the subtlety of the enemy’s deceit. How
can we ignore a house plan and expect to build the house correctly?
Romans 6:15.
What then? Shall we sin because we are no longer under the Torah's
[condemnation], but under YHWH's empowering favor? May it never
be!
We are never “above” Torah, but we are “beside” it as its partners
once we have internalized it. (Gal. 3:19-4:7) Empowering favor: includes
both amnesty for our failings, “grace” time bought for us to become
what we had ceased to be, and positive encouragement by which He
motivates us to obey from the heart. This should result in fuller
obedience than isolated, disjointed legalistic commands ever could
prompt.
Romans 6:16.
Don't you know that you become slaves, obligated to obey whichever
master you yield yourselves to—whether it be sin, which results in
death, or the obedience that results in righteousness?
Romans 6:17.
But thanks be to YHWH that though you were slaves to sin, you
obeyed from the heart a standard of teaching into which you were
delivered,
A standard of teaching: or, paradigm of a new lifestyle— the same
one decided upon at the Yerushalayim Council (Acts 15:22-31) of what
is incumbent on non-Jews to be considered “righteous” (16:17).
Romans 6:18.
and, having been liberated from sin, you were made subject to
righteousness.
Made subject: If we leave one area of servitude, we by definition
enter the service of the other. The Exodus freed Ishra’al from
Pharaoh to serve YHWH. To be free from sin’s control while still in
fallen bodies, there is still a discipline by which we must live (Torah),
but it has no direct connection with earning YHWH’s favor. It is a myth
that we can actually serve self; that is really only one more form of
serving sin. These non-Jewish believers were claiming to be free from
the Torah, but there is no “freedom” in an absolute sense, but only
freedom from one of the only two masters that truly exist, so that we
are free TO serve the other.
Romans 6:19.
I am speaking in human terms on account of your human nature's
inability to understand this: with that in mind, just as you yielded the
members of your [bodies] into servitude to uncleanness and to one kind
of lawlessness after another, so now "enlist" your bodies in the service
of righteousness, whose outcome will be sanctification.
Your…inability to understand: This is a mild rebuke to those who
prided themselves on their “ability” to understand something their
Jewish neighbors could not. (Ch. 14-15) One kind of lawlessness after
another: being sucked deeper and deeper into things contrary to
Torah. Enlist: yield yourself rather than being "drafted" against your
will into another, unprofitable, kind of service. But he has in mind a
particular result to be gained by their step-by-step growth in holiness
which is larger than a merely personal lifestyle of righteousness: the
salvation of Jews who do not yet believe. (Ch. 9-12). For this reason he
asks them to suppress their bodily lusts (in this case, culinary tastes)
for a higher purpose.
Romans 6:20.
Since we are using such terms, then [we could say that] when you were
in the service of sin, you were "free" with regard to righteousness;
Romans 6:21.
but tell me, what fruit did you have then from the labors over which
you are now ashamed? For the final [installment of the] payback from
those things is [nothing but] death!
Final payback: we could render it “severance pay”.
Romans 6:22.
But now that you have been set free from sin and "enlisted" in YHWH's
service, you have your fruit, which leads to being made holy--and has
everlasting life as its final “kickback”,
Romans 6:23.
since the [only] "benefit" sin pays is death, while the "bonus" that
comes from YHWH is eternal life in Meshiakh YaHuWsHua, our
Master.
Benefit: soldier's pay or allowance, especially the part given in lieu of
money. Bonus: an unearned, free gift.
Eph. 2:1
Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins.
Eph. 2: 2
You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying
satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is this ruwach at
work in the sons of rebellious disbelief.
Eph. 2:3
All of us used to live that way, following the passions and desires of
our evil nature. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under
YHWH's anger just like everyone else.
Eph. 2:4
But YHWH is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so very much,
Eph. 2:5
that even while we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when
He raised haMashiyach from the dead. (It is only by YHWH's special
favor that you have been saved!)
Eph. 2: 6
For He raised us from the dead along with haMashiyach, and we are
seated in Him in the heavenly realms--all because we are one in
haMashiyach YaHuWSHua
Eph. 2: 7
that in the Ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His
favor, in kindness toward us through haMashiyach YaHuWsHua.
Eph. 2:8-9
YHWH saved you by His special favor when you believed. And you can't
take credit for this (belief); it is a gift from YHWH. Deliverance is not
a reward for the good things we have done [works], so none of us can
boast about it.
Eph. 2: 10
For we are YHWH's workmanship/achievement. He has created us
anew in haMashiyach YaHuWsHua, so that we can do the good things
He planned for us long ago.
"By loving kindness you are saved through belief, not something we
earn nor a reward for works, so there can be no boasting on our part."
.. from Wachira
"By [YHWH's] added provision we are rescued, through belief, and
[even] that is not from ourselves; it is YHWH's gift, so that no one
may boast", ... because we are His workmanship, created in haMashiakh
unto [particular] good works, which YHWH has ordained in advance for
us to walk in."
In His Name
Blessed be, in His name
YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, YHWH bless you.' "
Be not blind to the truth
And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard
that YâHuWsHúa` passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O
YHWH, [thou] Ben David. An YâHuWsHúa` stood still, and called them,
and said, what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him,
YHWH, that our eyes may be opened. So YâHuWsHúa` had compassion
[on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received
sight, and they followed him.
