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
at the beginning and represents the House of Yosef and
the house of YahuwDah; The ISH is the name for man
who’s Covenant is with Ra ( God) who is Al ( aleph)

memorial for generation to generation." and I appeared to Abraham, to
Yitzchak, and to Ya’aqob as hashadday [the almighty]. And my name,

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.
Today we see the illegitimate worship of these celestial bodies, within
those who claim to WORSHIP
How many more times will Y’Ishra’al turned to
HIS CREATION and not their CREATOR
Melachim Bais 23:5,
And he did away with hakemarim (the idol priests), whom the Melachim
of YahuwDah had ordained to burn ketoret in the high places in the
towns of YahuwDah, and in the places around Yerushalayim; them also
that
Burned ketoret unto Ba'al, to the shemesh, and to the yarei'ach, and to
the mazalot (constellations) and to all the Tzeva HaShomayim.
2 kgs 23:5
And he put down the black-robed priests whom the sovereigns of
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.
2 Ki 23:11
And he did away with the horses that the sovereigns of YahuwDah had
given to the sun, at the entrance to the House of
By the room of Nathan-Melek the eunuch, that were in the court. And
he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Yirmeyah 8:2
And they shall spread them out before the shemesh, and the yarei'ach,
and all the tz'va haShomayim, whom they have loved, and whom they
have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have
consulted, and whom they have worshiped; they shall not be gathered
up, nor be buried in a kever; they shall be like domen upon the surface
of ha'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
Court of the Kohanim], and, hinnei, at the petach (entrance) of the
Heikhal Hashem, between the Ulam and the Mizbe'ach, were about five
and twenty ish, with their backs toward the Heikhal Hashem, and their
faces toward the east; and they bowing down toward the east
worshiping the sun.
Ezek 8:16

their backs toward the

Yet in the creation story these celestial elements are simply taken as
creatures like any others
Any word Highlighted is a point to ponder the treasure hidden in
scripture
Berith-ish
(Covenant-man)
There can be no doubt that the fundamental meaning of ‘covenant’ in
the NT is derived from, and is a highly creative reinterpretation, of
the OT berith, a two-party arrangement in which one is bound by oath.”
The word ‘Testament,’ as a translation of the Greek word diatheke
(which means ‘covenant’), has been nothing less than a great calamity;
for, by its use, truth has been effectively veiled all through the
centuries; causing a wrong turning to be taken ... errors of tradition
have usurped the place of important truth. The word ‘Testament’ as a
name for a collection of books is unknown to Scripture. It comes to us
through the Latin Vulgate.” Testamentum was a Roman "omen of
death." Closely related to this word we find Testomonium as the name
of a Roman deity, as well as Test, found in many European languages.
Distinguishing Bnëy YHWH vs Sons of the Accuser
The first stumbling block for many is the understanding that YHWH
call you in righteousness.” The pronoun “you” is masculine singular,
referring to the servant. he summoned you and I to become an
illuminator to the nations
Yeshayahu 42:6;
"I, YHWH, have summoned you with what is proper, and will
strengthen your hand, keep guard over you, and appoint you to be a
covenant [for the] people, to [be an] illuminator of nations,
There was no mistake made in whom He has called to Himself. To
Yeshayahu, it looks impossible to change these people, but YHWH has a
reason for choosing him. To Strengthen: or “keep a firm hold on”,
“uphold translations assumes the verb is derived from the root
רצנ
“protect”).
Some prefer to derive it from the root
רצנ
“form”)
Yeshayahu 42:7.
"to open blind eyes, to liberate the captives from the dungeon, those
who sit in darkness from the house of confinement.
http://www.slideshare.net/keiYAH/who-called-you-out-of-darkness-
into-his-marvelous-light
Aramaic, "to open the eyes of the House of Y’Ishra’al, who are as
blind to the law, to bring out their exiles, who resemble prisoners,
from among the Gentiles, to deliver them from the slavery of the
kingdoms…" No matter how many miracles Y’Ishra’al sees, they still do
not seem to get his point. They have “screwed up” terribly, but there
are other things they are blind to also, and so YHWH holds out hope
that when they do see they will really respond, because He still cares
about us, so He will do some things to get them to where they need to
be.
Yeshayahu 49:8;
This is what YHWH says: "At an acceptable time I have responded to
you; in a day of deliverance I have helped you, and I will guard you
faithfully and appoint you as a covenant for the People, to establish the
Land, to cause [them] to inherit the [now] deserted inheritances,
Acceptable: or pleasing. The people: in this case, the House of
Y’Ishra’al, not a people at that time
Hos. 1:9
“Therefore I will return and take back to myself My grain in its season,
and My new wine at its appointed time, and I will reclaim My wool and
linen [which I provided] to cover up her indecent exposure.
Take back My grain: Aramaic, My Memra [living Word] will return to
curse the grain at the time of its harvest. Grain is a picture of His
people, whom He is reclaiming from the church because it has not been
a true shepherd to most of them, but only a hireling.
Ychezqa’l 34;
Yochanan 10
New wine represents joy, and their joy is now indeed out of season: on
Sunday rather than the Sabbath or Christmas instead of the feasts He
prescribed. The Northern Kingdom began by keeping His feasts, but
deliberately moving them to a different month.
1 Kings 12:33
. And he [offered] up [a sacrifice] atop the altar that he had made in
Beyth-Äl on the fifteenth day of the eighth month--in the month that
he had determined in his own heart. Thus he made a feast for the
descendants of Israel and offered up on the altar for incense.
He may have thought that because it was allowable for someone to do
the Passover slaughter a month late (if ritually impure or on a journey),
then it must be equally allowable to celebrate Sukkoth a month late.
But YHWH only said this of Passover. The Northern Kingdom has
continued to substitute other days for those YHWH has ordained,
following the tugging of our own hearts--anything but obeying His
actual commands.
They were thus out of season. They later mixed wool and linen, which
He forbade
Lev. 19:19,
"You shall keep my ordinances: you must not let your livestock
crossbreed with other species; you shall not sow your field with [two]
different kinds [of seed]; and you shall not allow a garment of mingled
wool and linen to be upon yourself.
Sow your field: i.e., the same area of the farm; it does not mean you
cannot grow more than one crop, but they are not to be mixed. These
are all different ways of depicting the same principle. Things must be
kept distinct, so we can tell which are the crop and which are weeds.
This includes mixtures like "YHWH our God"--one acceptable name
combined with one that is not--or mixing paganism into biblical faith,
which is where most of the church is today. The Torah forbids
intermarriage—not with other races, but with those who do not keep
the Torah.
Seed represents the Sons of the Kingdom
Mat. 13:38
and the field is the world. Now the valuable seeds--these are the sons
of the Kingdom, while the darnel weeds are the unprofitable sons,
Which are not to be sown among the sons of the evil one in unequal
yokes, for how would the children of such mixed marriages be taught
to serve YHWH? And garments represent our works; we must not mix
kingdom works with earthly ones that only benefit self by using
YHWH’s reputation as a way to make a livelihood for ourselves,
whether excessive, honest, or not. Our works are to have only one
motivation. This hearkens back to the story of Qayin and Hevel: Linen
comes from the earth; wool comes from a being with life coursing
through it that can shed blood and picture redemption (which comes
from heaven). There is a place for each, but the two are not to be
mixed. But this was also a holy blend used in some of the priestly
garments
Shemot. 28:6;
6 "and they must make the efod of gold, blue and purple, crimson
scarlet and bleached, fine-twisted [linen], the work of a skilled
[artisan]
. A view of the new garments already made by the Temple Institute for
the next high priest. What he wears matches the inner tapestries of
the Tabernacle, identifying him with it. He is all that most people will
ever see of the inside of the tent. Skilled: or thoughtful, calculating.
Shemot. 39:29
Then a sash of fine twisted bleached [linen] skillfully embroidered with
blue, purple, and crimson-scarlet [wool], just as YHWH had commanded
Moshe.
it was reserved exclusively for the sanctuary, not for the lay person.
However, some garments found in Dead Sea caves from c. 135 C.E. had
white tassels of linen and blue tassels of wool woven together. Thus
the tassels which every Y’ishra’alite is to wear on the extremities of
his garments (Num. 15) were of this mixture, symbolizing that we are a
"kingdom of priests".
Shemot. 19:6
. "'and you shall become for Me a kingdom of priests, a separated
nation.' These are the words which you must speak to the descendants
of Y’Ishra’al."
A separated nation: in a class of its own. The very idea calls for
judgment, because to separate we must discriminate between
different things. We cannot just accept anything. This is not popular
today, but if we are not comfortable with it, we must become so by
practicing it! To be ready to hear from YHWH, we must set things
apart in our minds as well. Those who refuse to judge or be judged can
by definition never be set apart. As He prepares to bring her into the
covenant of betrothal at Sinai, He wants her to have no doubt that He
loves no one but her. He came to Egypt to get her, but did not stay;
there were other Gods called Elohim in place there. He fought them
for her, but has now carried her to His own home. Priests: to help
others approach YHWH. Y’Ishra’al had its own priests (literally,
officiators), but as YHWH's firstborn, the entire people was called to
be a priest, or light to the nations. This is not a prophecy or a promise,
but a command. It will not just fall into place if we do not make it a
reality.
By mixing actual pagan ways with truth. Linen comes from a plant,
which is from the earth; wool represents what does not come from the
earth, but from heaven (as in Qayin and Havel’s offerings, Bber. 4), so
she will have neither an earthly no heavenly covering anymore.
Hos. 1:10.
“Now I will even expose her immodesty to the eyes of her lovers, and
not a man can rescue her from My hand.
Immodesty: shamelessness, pudenda, or foolishness; LXX, her
uncleanness. Rescue her from My hand: or snatch them out.
YaHuWsHua alluded to this, but turned its meaning around for those
who would listen to His voice, whom He identifies as His sheep.
Yâhuwchânâ´n 10:29
My Father Who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is
able to snatch out of the hand of My Father.
Having deserted their inheritance. But the connection is to be re-
established. Paul said that his own day was that acceptable time.
2 Qorinthíym. 6:2
For He says: “In a season of favor, I will answer you and in a day of
salvation, I will help you…””
but in all things I approve myself as the Elder unto YHWH, by great
constancy in afflictions, in torments, in distresses, from stripes, from
imprisonments, from tumults, from labours, from watchings, from
penury. I approve myself, by chastity, by knowledge, by meekness, by
kindness, by sanctity of mind, by undisguised benevolence, by the
preaching of truth, by the power of YHWH, by the arms of justice,
both offensive and defensive. 8in honour and disgrace, under infamy,
and in repute: look'd upon as an impostor, while I say what is true; as
unknown, and yet celebrated; as dying, and yet I am alive; as chastised,
but not slain;
Yshá`Yâhuw 49: 8
This is what YHWH says: "At an acceptable time I have responded
to you; in a day of deliverance I have helped you, and I will guard you
faithfully and appoint you as a covenant for the People, to establish the
Land, to cause [them] to inherit the [now] deserted inheritances,
Acceptable: or pleasing. The people: in this case, the House of
Y’Ishra’al, not a people at that time having deserted their inheritance.
But the connection is to be re-established. Paul said that his own day
was that acceptable time.
Look! Now is the season of favor! Look! Now is the day of salvation! –
Since it went awry that time, YHWH is providing us with another
Do not waste it!
Shemot 25: 40
"And be sure they are made according to the construction-plan that
was shown you on the mountain.
This is the idea behind all the actions and imagery in the Torah: all
its commands are meant to teach us about something even more real
but intangible. Teaching that there will never again be a Temple or
sacrificial system places a curse on this pattern that was given by
YHWH to show us how to line up with His image. The things in these
chapters are not just facts; they are instructions meant to set us back
in order. It is the blueprint or map showing how we can get back home.
It is therefore crucial that we not change any detail to suit our own
preferences. We cannot make our own patterns. For thousands of
years we have had training in regard to YHWH’s mercy and grace, but
lacked training in other areas that only the Temple was able to bring.
While someone may lift weights and develop “beach muscles”, this does
not mean he can necessarily move other items in ways that would be
more practical. We need to be balanced in our training. The
tabernacle has a special significance for us right now because we have
been “brought out of Egypt” but are not yet in the Promised Land. It is
the way YHWH chose to dwell among Y’Ishra’al in the exact same
circumstance once before. So we must pay it special attention.
the Mediator of
Heb 8:6
So now, Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed has obtained a more surpassing
ministry, by so much as it is also of the superior covenant He is
mediator of, which has been enacted upon superior promises.
Heb 9:15;
And since this One’s death has taken place for a full ransom of the
transgressions against the first covenant, He is mediator of a new
covenant so that those who have been called for the endless
inheritance might receive the promise!
Heb 12:24;
Even to Yâhuwshúa`, the mediator of a freshly new covenant with
the sprinkling of blood speaking better things than the blood of Hével!
The Messenger of
Mal_3:1;
“See, I am sending My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before
Me. Then suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Hĕk al,
even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is
coming,” said רהוה of hosts.
Disclosure 12:17.
For the dragon was angry at the wife, and went to make war against
the remainder of her Seed: those who observe the commandments of
YHWH and maintain the testimony of Yâhuwshúa`.
By proclaiming the truth yet denying the words of salvation, we hide in
the darkness, out of the light, Satan wars against the truth
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3: 23
And these are His commandments: that we should believe on the name
of His Son, Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed and we should affectionately love
one another, just as He has given commandment to us delegates.

So it stood upon the sand of the sea,
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:8.
The one performing sin is from the Adversary, because the Adversary
has sinned from the beginning. For this, the Son of the mighty One
was manifested: that He might undo the works of the Adversary.
[1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:9.
Everyone having been procreated from YHWH does not perform sin,
because His Seed [Yâhuwshúa`), the Word of YHWH stays within him;
and he is not willing to sin, because he has been procreated from
YHWH
[1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:10.
By this the sons of YHWH and the sons of the Adversary are
distinguished : everyone not fulfilling justification is not procreated of
YHWH, as also the one not affectionately loving his brother.
JUSTIFACTION = YHWH RIGHTEOUS
Rom 2:13
For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of
Aluahiym, but the doers of the law shall be declared right
. Mt. 7:21,
. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Master! Master!' will enter into the
Kingdom of the Heavens, but [rather] the ones who are doing the will

Mt. 7:22.
"In That Day, many will say to me, 'Master! Master! Didn't we
prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and perform
many powerful works?'
In That Day: A common Hebraic way of alluding to "the Day of
YHWH", the seventh Millennium of Sabbath Rest, which begins with
the Judgment.
Demons: the Hebrew specifies shedim, one of several categories of
demons, a particular type that spoils and devastates and to which
people sacrifice.
Disclosure. 20:11-15
And I saw a great white throne, and the One Who sits upon it, from
Whose face the earth and the heavens fled, and a place was not found
for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in the sight of
YHWH, and scrolls were opened; and another scroll was opened, that
which is of judgment. And the dead had been judged from the things
written in the scrolls, according to their works. And the sea gave up
the dead in it, and Death and Sh’ówl gave up the dead in them, and they
each had been judged according to their works. So Death and Sh’ówl
were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And if anyone
was not found written in the scroll of life, he was cast into the lake of
fire.
Chanówkh 50: 1ff
“In those days the earth shall deliver up from her womb, and Sh’ówl

sea shall restore that which they owe He shall select the righteous and

And in those days shall the Elect One sit upon My throne, while every
secret of wisdom and counsel shall proceed from His mouth, for the
Sovereign of spirits has gifted and honored Him.
Mt. 7:23.
"But at that time I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Get away
from me, you workers of lawlessness!'"
Never knew you: Maybe they called him "Lord" (as "Master", Gk,
kurios, is often rendered), which stems from the name of a pagan deity
associated with pig farmers! Lawlessness: anomia--without or contrary
to Torah, i.e., who act as if they had not been given YHWH's
instruction. (Stern) The last sentence quotes Tehillim 6:8, which uses
the Heb. term for perversity or crookedness. Tehillim 119:115 is
identical except for the final word, which means "evildoers". Some Gk.
Manuscripts contain a marginal note that reads, "The Judaikon [Jewish
version] has here, 'If you ...do not do the will of My Father who is in
Heaven, out of My bosom I will cast you away." (Trimm) Second-
century "Church Father" Clement supports this reading. (2 Clement

Mt. 7:24

same word as that rendered "produce" in vv. 17-19. Sensible: One
shrewd in practical wisdom, as opposed to one who is simply naturally
intelligent, which is a different word. (Strong)
Mt. 7:25
. "And the rain fell, and the rivers swelled and the winds blew, and
rushed violently against that house. Yet it did not collapse, because it
had been based [solidly] upon the rock.
Based solidly: Founded, grounded, made firm, set or consolidated
directly into the rock itself. (Strong)
Mt. 7:26
. "But whoever hears these words of Mine but does not carry them out
will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand;
YHWH promised Avraham that his descendants would be like the
sand, but this heritage alone is not enough to turn away YHWH's wrath
if we do not live up to this ideal.
(Luke 3:8; cf. Yâhuwchânâ´n. 8:39)
Mt. 7:27.
"And the rain fell, and the rivers swelled and the winds blew, and
rushed violently against that house, and it collapsed with a tremendous
crash!"
Lit., "...great was its downfall" , emphasizing its ultimate collapse.
"House" is often used in a special sense to mean the Temple, as
representative of YHWH's dwelling place, and indeed it was built upon
bedrock. A counterfeit dwelling place is being built which cannot stand
the furious tests of the coming days. It is the same contrast as
between the true image of Elohim as seen in Adam and then in Yahshua,
and the image of the King of Babylon (Dani’al 2, 3) and the image of the
Beast (Dis. 13:15), which are destroyed, interestingly enough, by a huge
stone. (Compare the destruction of the tent of Midyan--a counterfeit
of the Tabernacle--in Judges 7:13.) This "house" changes the seasons
and laws (Dan. 7:25), which is exactly what the Roman Church did,
claiming that replacing the Sabbath with Sunday was evidence of their
authority on earth. Many who are actually Y’Ishra’alite are still building
this house, thinking they can improve it, though its foundation is
flawed. It is inherently a mixture of truth and error (13:25ff), and
thus neither holy nor a place YHWH can inhabit. Once we know better,
it is time to leave the impostor behind. (Deeds 17:30) Our motives may
be impeccable, but if we are still associated with the condemned
structure at that time, we will be found to be building the wrong house,
and will go down with it. Daniel recognized when the time of his exile
was due to be up, and took steps to in fact bring it to an end. Through
the assembly YHWH helped many of us ride out our exile, but now
that our sentence is up, it is time to "come out of her" (Rev. 18:4) and
be separate as we were always meant to be.
Ya`aqóv 2:14
What is the gain, my brothers, if anyone alleges to have persuasion, yet
might not have works? Is the persuasion able to save him?
Our faith is not merely a mental belief, but something that is
practiced. Those who say they have faith must give evidence of it by
their behavior. In the case of the poor just referred to, it is useless
to talk sympathetically to them but not give them food and clothing. A
professed faith must produce a corresponding change in behavior,
otherwise it is dead and useless (14-17).
Genuine faith will prove itself by good deeds. The simple belief that
God exists is not enough. Even demons have such a belief, but it will not
help them escape YHWH’s judgment (18-19).
Abraham also had a belief in YHWH, but it was a belief that completely
changed his life and actions. True, Abraham was justified by faith
when he whole-heartedly trusted YHWH, even though he did not know
how YHWH could possibly fulfil his promise (Bber 15:6; Rom 4:1-3, 16-
25). But that is not the incident Ya`aqóv is talking about here. He is
talking about the incident thirty years later, at the time of Abraham’s
offering of Yitzhaq (20-21; cf. Bber 22:1-18). Abraham not only said he
believed in YHWH, but he proved it by being willing to sacrifice I
Yitzhaq on the altar. He believed that YHWH could fulfil his promise
of giving Abraham a multitude of descendants through Yitzhaq, by
bringing Yitzhaq back to life (cf. Heb 11:17-19). Genuine faith is
demonstrated not simply by the set of beliefs a person holds, but by
the actions that those beliefs produce (22-24).
Ya`aqóv 2:15.
Now if a brother or a sister be naked, and may be destitute of the
daily nourishment,
Ya`aqóv 2:16.
And anyone from among you might say to them:
“Go ye in peace, be warmed and be filled abundantly!”
But does not give to them the body’s necessities, what gain is there?
Ya`aqóv 2:17.
Thus also is the persuasion: if it might not have works, it is dead by
itself!
Ya`aqóv 2:18.
Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have persuasion, but I have
works!” From your works you show me your persuasion, but I will show
you my works from my persuasion!
Ya`aqóv 2:19.
So you believe that. Even the gods believe that, and shudder!
Deuteronomy 6: 4
“Hear, O Y’Ishra’al: YHWH is our mighty Ones; YHWH is One:” You do
well!
This is “the” commandment that he has been building up to. (v. 1)
Listen: Heb., Sh’ma. Pay attention, hear, and obey. In Hebrew,
“commandment” means “what sets us in order.” It is a military term.
These are our marching orders. This, along with the next several
verses, is the heart of the Torah. Only YHWH: or, "YHWH is one (or
unified, all in all)." His commands need to be our first consideration in
regard to our actions, opinions, attitudes, and priorities. Actually, He
should be the only consideration.
Ya`aqóv 2:20.
But would you want to know, o empty man, that persuasion without the
works is dead?
Ya`aqóv 2:21.
Wasn’t our father ’Avrâhâ´m justified from works, having offered his
son Yitschâ´q, upon the altar?
Ya`aqóv 2:22.
You see, because the persuasion cooperated with his works, and the
persuasion was perfected from the works!
Ya`aqóv 2:23.
And the scripture was fulfilled, that says:
“And he believed in YHWH, and He credited it to him for
righteousness:”
Bber 15: 6
And he was called a “friend” of YHWH
And he believed YHWH, and He accounted it as righteousness for him.
Believed: stood firm in his trust or confidence; based on the verb
form of "amen", which means "established" or "trustworthy". He
merited being written in the Book of the Righteous (Dan. 7:10;
Disclosure. 20:12) because he trusted confidently in YHWH's promise,
though it was impossible! This can apply to us too. (Gal. 3:9) The same
affirmation is given to Pin'has (Tehillim. 106:31) because he acted on
his belief: he intervened when even Moshe stood by, and held off a
plague. But Romans 4:9ff points out that Avram was counted righteous
before he was circumcised--before he had done any particularly
religious acts, though he could not have gotten to where he was without
trusting YHWH at each juncture. Now he believes his line will continue,
but he still had to do his part in fathering a child. He must still walk in
a way that proves he believes. (Ya’aqóv 2:20ff) If he had stopped here,
none of this would have come about.
2 Chronicles 20: 7,
Yshá`Yâhuw 41: 8
"But you, O Y’Ishra’al, are My servant; Ya’aqóv, whom I have chosen,
the descendants of Avraham, My dear friend,
Ya`aqóv 2:24.
See ye then that a man is justified from works, and not from belief
alone.

1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:11.
Because this is the message that ye heard from the First, that we
should affectionately love one another!
Because this is the message that ye heard from the First, that we
should affectionately love one another!
Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 15: 12
This is My commandment: that ye affectionately love one another just
as I have affectionately loved you.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:12.
Not as Qáyin, who was from the Wicked one , and slew his brother.
Yet why did he slay him? Because his works were wicked, but those of
his brother righteous.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:13.
So do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you.
[Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:14.
We discern that we have crossed from death into Life because we
affectionately love the brothers. He who does not affectionately love
his brother stays within death.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:15.
Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and ye know that every
murderer does not have endless Life continuing within him.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:16.
By this we have acknowledged His Affectionate Love for us because
that One laid down His Life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives
for the brothers.
Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 15: 13
No one has greater affectionate love than this: that One should lay
down His Self (life) for His friends
.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:17.
But whoever might have the means of livelihood of the world, and might
see his brother having a need, but might shut up his compassions from
him; how does the Affectionate Love of YHWH dwell within him?
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:18.
My sons, we should not affectionately love by expression and by
language only, rather, by deed and in Truth.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:19.
And by this affectionate love, we recognize that we are from the
Truth, and persuade our hearts before His coming.
How we can make sure
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:20.
Because if the heart might condemn us, how much greater is YHWH
greater than our heart? And He absolutely knows all things.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:21.
My beloved, if our heart might not condemn us, we have confidence
before YHWH,
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:22.
And whatsoever we should ask, we will receive from Him, because we do
observe His commandments and we do perform that which is pleasing in
His sight.
Contrast
Yshá`Yâhuw 65: 11
11. "But you are those who desert YHWH, who forget My Sacred
mountain--who set a table for Fortune, and who fill [an offering of]
mixed wine to Destiny.
Fortune: or luck; LXX, the devil, who is indeed called Lucifer; Heb.,
Gad, pronounced just like "God", and YHWH says we are not to have
the names of pagan deities in our mouths. (Shemot. 23:13) This would
be reason enough not to call YHWH "God", even if it were a mere
translation. But it is not; "God" was a localized Norse-Germanic deity,
so we must not substitute YHWH's true name with his. Destiny: or
fate, based on the word for a number, hinting at the concept of
gambling, and relating to the word-play on "counting" ("assign" is the
root word for destiny) in v. 12. The concepts of luck and destiny also
reflect a belief in chance and happenstance, which is diametrically
opposed to those who trust YHWH to keep His promises. We must
never give them the least bit of credit. Moreover, the feast days for
these two deities were December 24 and 25, so we must do all we can
to avoid making these into any type of special days unto YHWH, so
there is no association in anyone's minds.
Yshá`Yâhuw 65: 12.
"So I will assign you to the sword, and all of you will bend over to be
slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer Me; I spoke and
you did not listen, but did what was evil in My eyes, and chose what I
did not take any pleasure in."
Assign you to: or number you for. I spoke: the Aramaic has "sent My
prophets". We, too, are the voices by which He is speaking today,
calling people away from the celebration of Christmas, etc., and back to
the days He has commanded.
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:23.
And these are His commandments: that we should believe on the name
of His Son, Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed and we should affectionately love
one another, just as He has given commandment to us delegates.
I conclude with one verse
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3:24.
And the one observing His commandments dwells in Him, and He in
him; and by this we recognize that He dwells in us: from the (Raukh)
spirit that He has given to us.
Repent Believe and be Immersed, and you shall receive the Raukh
HaQodesh ( laying on of hands) and it is that Raukh ( YaHuWsHua) that
will anoint you into his Kingdom
But before all that learn to walk in the footsteps of his MEMRA, the
living word……
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.
