TORAH

Everyday of the week, read a portion of the weekly Torah portion.

Re'eh is connected to the Hebrew letter ayin. Ayin in the ancient pictograph Hebrew, it is the eye of God and the true all seeing eye. It means spiritual insight, lead by the spiritual eye.
"Ephesians 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,"
We begin to see with our spiritual eyes rather with our carnal eyes when we come to an understanding of YHWH.
"John 9:39 King James Version (KJV)
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
But so many people today are blind. It is almost sad.
"2 Corinthians 4:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
But those that shema and obey, are also seeing and understanding.
"Matthew 13:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear."
"Psalm 119:18 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
18 Open my eyes, so I may behold
wonders from Your Torah."
"42 They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and He took it and ate it in their presence. 44 Then He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you—everything written concerning Me in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:42-45
"Psalm 146:8 World English Bible (WEB)
8     Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
    Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
    Yahweh loves the righteous."

There are three ways to worship other gods: 

• Actuality calling upon their name and actually adopt the worship practise.
• Or you can become obsessed in observing others worship the god and uphold the god in your heart without doing any physical worship   
• Or you can mix the pagan customs with Biblical customs.

Tree in Hebrew is ay-lone. If we are trees, it makes sense that i am alone with no one here in my area to fellowship with.  Moreh means teacher. This is why i believe the plains of Moreh where Shecehm is where the original tree of life was. It means teacher (Moreh) but it can also mean former rain. The former rain is Yeshua's first coming and the latter rain is His second coming. Rain is the greater an generous name. Shem. Braucha hashem. When He teachers us as the great teacher, He gives rain to our thirsty souls. The root of the word rain (Moreh) is yarah. It means to shoot, archer, aim, instruction, and not missing the mark. If you add a tav to the word rain, you get the word Torah. If you add up the gematria on each of the letters:

Isn't there 613 commandments? We are two short... Or are we? Shema.

The rest of the Torah hangs off of those two. The Torah is the covenant of the nail is the head of the house revealed. Torah is all about Yeshua. You can along see these things you re'eh (behold). The Torah is the dove of revelation as the first three letters of Torah spell dove in Hebrew. The Messiah will play two roles: one to plant and one to harvest. His second coming will be in the former/first mouth, before the former rains start. Tishrei 1 the fall harvest and the coronation of the kings.


Between verse 2 and verse 7 of chapter 12, there is a chiastic structure.
"Deuteronomy 12:2 World English Bible (WEB)
2 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods: on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
3 You shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, and burn their Asherah poles with fire. You shall cut down the engraved images of their gods. You shall destroy their name out of that place.
4 You shall not do so to Yahweh your God.
5 But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, you shall seek his habitation, and you shall come there.

6 You shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, your vows, your free will offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock there. 7 There you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.

The resting place and inheritance mentioned in verses 8 and 9, is not gained when Israel enters into the promise land it seems, only in Millennial.

What is the place that YHWH wants His name to remain forever? It is Mount Moriah or Bethel - Solomon's temple. It is the place where Abraham was to sacrifice Issac and the place where Jacob saw the vision of the ladder. Could also be where Yeshua was crucified. 
"2 Chronicles 7:16 World English Bible (WEB)
16 For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually."

The reason why we cannot do the animal sacrifices anymore is because there needs to be a temple in Jerusalem and they can only be done on the true temple mount and not Fort Antonia where the dome of the rock and the wall sits now.

There are precise instructions of how to butcher the animal for the sacrifices. What that would do it would provide meat for the community, the animal was not completely deposed of at the temple. This is how the Israelite got their meat. Therefore, it is not a sin to kill a clean animal for food. Unlike what extreme vegans say. God says no. The sacrifices, though are meant to be brutal and messy. When the Tabernacle was up, the animals had to be lead up to the Tabernacle to be killed. But now when Israel is going to cross over the Jordan, He says it is okay to kill an animal outside the Tabernacle or in Jerusalem.

It is very important to not eat blood. Unfortunately, in our culture, there is something about blood that generates awe in the unstable. It is any surprise that the world is drawn to stories of vampires (Nephilim)? Life is in the blood. It is therefore precious to YHWH. It is to not be shed or spilled unnecessarily or meaninglessly - be it human blood or animal blood.

The Hebrew word for "blood"  is dam. Damnation?

When Abel's blood spilt, it cried out to YHWH. This is because the blood of God's people have been redeemed by Yeshua's and it produces a frequency. 

Adam in Hebrew means - blood emanating from God. A-Dam. Therefore Yeshua called the Son of Man is called the son of blood emanating from God. Considering Yeshua's mission, upon His first advent, to shed His blood upon the earth - to literally be the blood emanating from God for us.

The letters in the Hebrew word for blood (dam) is dalet (doorway) and mem (chaotic waters). Would you find it interesting that when Yeshua's side was pierced that blood and water came out and that Yeshua is the door into Heaven?

The nation of Israel is a Satanic state birthed in blood. In 1948 - the butchering and massacre of women and children and the displacement of 800,000 Palestinians took place. Please note that the myth about the poor little Israel (1948) is absolute nonsense. just about six days before the declaration of independence, around 120 Zionist fighters attacked Deir Yassin located 3 miles from Jerusalem killing 107 people. Wonder why Gazans have been trying for so long to bomb the place. They are retaliating from the death tole of Israeli forces killing 5.700 Gazans. It is lex talions. Israel are the bad guys. The land is being defiled! As what happened to Saul's sons for murdering people, there was a cost and price blood atonement to be paid. It might get the death of the Two Witnesses to atone for all this chaos. Not only that, Israel has some of the most liberal abortion polices in the world. Today in Israel, abortions are legal at any stage of development.

When Yeshua returns on on Trumpets to Yom Kippur, there will be a great blood bath. This might be the ultimate atonement for all of this defilement of His holy land.

We are not to celebrate and worship YHWH as the pagans do. This undermines Catholicism because that is actually what it is: Roman and Celtic paganism mixed with Christianity.

Just look at the absolute compromise here: "it is all about the heart!" What if someone is worshipping Satan with the intend of love as many Satanist are doing today? All we are doing is reminding God is the death of children, blood, orgies and fire because He is eternal.

It commonly said that Jews add to the word and Christians take away. Both are violating the perfect Torah. So the if a person with prophetic powers comes and fails the Deuteronomy 13 test, do not listen to them because they are leading you to worship other gods. The idea that we need to be tolerant of these type of people, (which is not true love to let evil in the camp) is rubbish. Since they come with seductive lies, they must be removed - or back in ancient times - stoned. It is because that if they get into the camp, they will make the whole of Israel fall into sin. Those that remain following the commandments, even though they have been tempted by these people, they are the true people that really love God with all their hearts, minds, soul and strength. It is like when your wife is educed by another idiotic man. It should be seen i a very serious light.

Look at the list of people here:
"6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers; 7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth— 8 you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him; " Deuteronomy 13:6-8
Even people who are as close to your family, you are to see them as YHWH sees them and not pity them. We are not to conceal the sin that they have done, we are to respond appropriately to it.

The people that try and lead us away from God, we recognise it is wrong but our hand should be upon them so they can cease to do what they do. We are to investigate to find the truth, we are to remove ourselves from these evil. No tolerance.

We cannot cut our beards? Really? When you actually look into the pasha this week and last week, you would discover that context is everything. The Torah says says that you should never cut your beard. As a matter of fact it is the opposite! If you are a priest (which we are as servants of the High Priest Yeshua) you have to be clean shaven. So who does this apply to or what situation doe sit apply to? Its simple.
"Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Leviticus 19:27-28
"Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth." Deuteronomy 14:1-2

Israel lived at a time when ancient cultures had many customs that worship the pagan gods and the dead by shaving their beads and eyebrows. Here is a source explaining the significance of shaving in other ancient cultures. They mostly did not do it for hygiene reasons as the kohen do.

The primordial civilization of Egypt provides the first records that describe the act of shaving. The early Death masks and paintings reveal that men were very scrupulous with their facial hair. Pharaohs were the divine reincarnation of gods. They enjoyed a special treatment of grooming which bears the mark of deity. They would braid their beards and adorned them with golden dust. Other Egyptian men also had the custom of wearing mustaches in a fashion that resembles musketeers’.
However, things changed starting with the Dynastic Period. Men stopped seeing the beard as a sign of virility. Instead, they thought of it as a representation of primary instincts that only animals are blind enough to have. So, shaving became a custom among wealthy men. It also marked the dawn of barbaric times and the rise of civilization. Barbers were serving the royalty day in and day out so that their heads and bodies remained smooth all the time.
Even priests developed their own shaving ritual. They would remove all hair that covered their bodies by plucking the strands one by one. This procedure made no exception, so the priests were seen without eyelashes or eyebrows.
The act of shaving wasn’t the only factor that empowered this daily ritual. Pharaohs possessed expensive razors sanctified by priests and were adorned with jewels. When an Egyptian monarch died, he was buried with lots of treasures that also were of utility for his afterlife. Sometimes, these treasures included razors so that they can remain civilized even in the realm of souls.
However, even in the era of civilization, beards didn’t lose their meaning completely. Kings continued to wear this badge of virility but only as an “osird” which signifies the divine beard. However, this royal mark was actually a fake beard made of gold or silver and symbolized power and divinity.

The cradle of Western civilization that the Ancient Greeks empowered through philosophy has blended the facial hair with religious rituals. The boys were offering their first beard as a valuable tribute to Apollo, the God of Sun and Protector of spiritual life, youth, and music.
The only men devoid of beards were the men that were in great grief after losing a family member. As a sign of his tremendous sorrow, men would pluck their facial hair with their bare hands or put it on fire. When a man died, his family would hang flocks of his beard at the door to announce the passers their tragedy.
Shaving someone’s beard was a major offense that could even end up with jail time. Cutting half of the facial hair would mark a soldier with the demeanor of a coward and was people looked down on him.

If the whole old testament is done away with, then why did Paul tell us we are priests? Did priest eat ham? The next chapter is a big fat dirty NO. The food laws are the requirements to be a priest as Paul said. If you eat something unclean, he cannot be with you because He will be breaking the Torah. The only thing that keeps that link the the shed blood of the Messiah. He will kill you if  if you were eating a ham sandwich if you were not under grace! (See the effects pork does to you in the article below. Science says it kills you.) Therefore, DO NOT ABUSE GRACE because you will be the lowest in the Kingdom of Heaven! That is all He can do to such a rebellious Christian! Take that as mercy! He cares!
"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." Matthew 5:19
I do not know about you but i would listen to what Jesus is saying. Our goal should not be to get into Heaven, it should be to be His bride. We need to live by His standard and it is not that hard!
"For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant. It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil. For I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce to you today, that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants; to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." Deuteronomy 30:11-20

The first instruction God gave to man in the Garden was regrading what they could eat or what they could not eat. We were to eat the fruit of every thing expect from the Tree of Knowledge and Good and Evil. The creation is effected by the sin and corruption that entered into the world by Adam. Therefore, nature is not perfect. This is what leads evolutionists to authenticate their false theories. Thongs like bacteria and parasites that need to inflict pain on another animal to survive is a result of the bacteria created to survive on a fallen animal. Their food source had changed since the fall. They were created with a food source 

(vegetation) that was different and prefect originally. Now they have adapted in a gut of an animal so they can survive. Another good example is the snake. In my B'resheet portion i showed you on the fossil record that there were such thing as snakes with legs. This is also the case here, because snakes also did not have poison as well at Creation. It was not until HaSatan that used a snake to get sin into the world that now the snake is poisonous to defend itself and now slithers on its body. This is the same with spiders. They say that the ones with the bog fangs that kill survived because the ones that did not were not fit to live and they died off. That is not true because they were not designed to be killers in the first place. It is the proof of the fall, not evolution or adaptation (survival of the fittest.) The animal is trying to survive in a fallen world where its source of nutrition is taken away from them. It has two: die (obviously that was not the choice they made) or it can change its diet to survive. Nature is now in a desperate battle for survival because the world has chosen to be more corrupt and seek things other than YHWH.
" that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:21-23
I use this example to explain the fall of Creation and not proof of evolution and  adaption because YHWH uses this in His word.
"Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.” Genesis 3: 14-15
I reckon the extra-biblical book of Adam and Eve explains why some animals can harm humans now because of the breaking of the commandments. This retaliates how important it is to not sin, because the whole world will be also paying the penalty of it. We made snakes poisonous and spiders ugly and dangerous. Not God.
"Then Adam said unto God, "O Lord, Thou didst create us, and make us fit to be in the garden; and before I transgressed, Thou madest all beasts come to me, that I should name them.
4 "Thy grace was then on me; and I named every one according to Thy mind; and Thou madest them all subject unto me.
5 "But now, O Lord God, that I have transgressed Thy commandment,
p. 9
all beasts will rise against me and will devour me, and Eve Thy handmaid; and will cut off our life from the face of the earth.
6 "I therefore beseech Thee, O God, that, since Thou hast made us come out of the garden, and hast made us be in a strange land, Thou wilt not let the beasts hurt us."
7 When the Lord heard these words from Adam, He had pity on him, and felt that he had truly said that the beasts of the field would rise and devour him and Eve, because He, the Lord, was angry with them two on account of their transgression.
8 Then God commanded the beasts, and the birds, and all that moves upon the earth, to come to Adam and to be familiar with him, and not to trouble him and Eve; nor yet any of the good and righteous among their posterity.
9 Then the beasts did obeisance to Adam, according to the commandment of God; except the serpent, against which God was wroth. It did not come to Adam, with the beasts." Adam and Eve 7: 3-9

Isaiah 11 explains what everything was like before Creation and what it will be like in the Millennial and Eternity.
"The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them. The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea." Isaiah 11: 6-9

YHWH created all animals with a purpose. Some are for food others are obviously not. The diet of YHWH had created for His bride is not some "law of Moses; Moses did not make this up. This is revelation directly from the throne room in Heaven. And it proves itself as so. If we are His agents, we seek to respect what He has designed each creature for.

If you eat prawns you might as well eat a cockroach instead because they are every similar. Also, all the plastic that is left in the oceans drop to the bottom of the sea because they are heavier particles and most of these unclean marine animals have been discovered to contain these plastic chemicals inside them that can obliviously be detrimental to your health. Creatures like oyster are the vacuum cleaners of the earth. They take in all the toxic and junk. See what the scientists at Ghent University in Belgium have recently discovered. Here we present the first study to report on the possible consequences of marine microplastics for human consumers by analysing the occurrence of microplastics in commercially available shellfish. From our results, we calculated that the average European shellfish consumer has an uptake of 6400 microplastics per year.
The more unclean food an animals injects, the ugly it appears to be. Generally. Turkeys are ugly yet they are clean.

Did YHWH warn us against eating dinosaurs?

Leviticus 11

20 All flows that creep upon all fours, shall be an abomination to you.

29 These are unclean for you among the creatures that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the great lizard according to its kind, 30 the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

The vessels described in here are clay vessels because most people had clay vessels. This is because clay is very porous and if a fly falls into it and dies, you cannot eat it, not just the food, you must get rid of the bowl because the bacteria goes into the pores on the bowl you cannot get it out.

Mammals may be eaten only if they have spilt hooves and chew their cud. This chewing of the cud refers to an animal that returns its food from the stomach to the mouth to chew it a second time, and it is called a ruminant.

Fish must have both fins and scales. Examples include tune, salmon, carp, whitefish, mackerel, swordfish and a trout (unclean water-based life includes catfish, octopus, calamari, eels, sharks, prawns, lobsters, sharks and crabs.) DOHHH!!! I LOVED CALAMARI!

Okay, so who do you think is right? Our secular society, or the Creator that designed our bodies and the digestive system?

We are also not to eat anything that has died of itself. But we can sell the carcass to an alien or a foreigner. We are not to eat them because it blood in the meat.

Abraham had meat and dairy with a pre-incarnate Yeshua and the angels. Proves that cheeseburgers are kosher and the mixing of meat and cheese is a legalistic commandment of men.

"Genesis 18:7-8 World English Bible (WEB)

7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it. 8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate."

When it says you have to come up to Jerusalem three times a year, YHWH does not expect us to carry all of the stuff for the tithe. He expects us to sells as money first then go with that money to Jerusalem. We are to feed the Levites physically, because they feed us spiritually.

YHWH is saying that we have got a chance to make the nation of Israel a great nation. By following the word of life, there will not even be poor people among you. But of course this never happens because He gives us lwas to how to look after the poor.

YHWH has a heart for the poor, the widow, the orphan, the stranger and the Levite. If you give to them, it would like you are giving to Yeshua. It is not that they will repay you, YHWH will repay you. Because we are giving it to Him. 

"Matthew 25:31-46 World English Bible (WEB)

31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in. 36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? 38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
40 “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ 46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

These laws are for the slaves and peasants and the lower class. This is interesting, why YHWH starts here when He first spoke about the laws in Exodus. This is because YHWH, the same God as Jesus ALWAYS decided to protect and hang out the helpless and the sinners first. Again, i cannot understand people anymore when they say that the Old Testament God is different to the New Testament. To me, that's a sign that they do not even bother to read or even study the Old Testament with even the notion or idea that they could be the same deity. The fact that YHWH, the God of the "Old Testament" chooses to first deal with the worthless and the poor, really in itself is a big statement on how our Creator thinks and is a proof that YHWH is Yeshua.  

The maid and servants laws are an expansion on how to love thy neighbour. These commandment actually prevent those in desuetude (homelessness) to live in a shelter. This is not slavery, this is kindness and just.

If this homeless peasant has a wife, you provide and shelter her too.

There is slavery to sin (Ha'Satan), to man (religion) and to Christ. You are at least one of them.

Okay, here is where the plantations owners probably tried to justify slavery. In fact, not all African Americans hated slavery. Hold on why is that? We only hear about the negative side of slavery, but there is also a positive side to it. That is to get the servant to share a healthy human relationship with the owner. They became a family member and were welcomed. The thing is that a maid (servant) is different to a slave (animal or less than). A slave is someone that has lost their independent means of production. They have an Illusion of choice. Slaves are never banished from society. We today pay more tax than any other slave society. A maid is someone that has a friendly relationship with the person they work for. They are accepted. They have freedom of choice weather they would like to work or not. They have some independent means to production. 

Strip ourselves out for the modern world and imagine and put yourself in an agricultural society in the ancient world, we have 90% of people with a landowner or working for a landowner. If you not a landowner, it would be VERY hard to survive in a world relying on agriculture. 

This is why families had so many children, because the more sons they had, the less effort there is to work the land. You cannot exist without having sons. So, what happens if you do not have any sons, but many daughters, or your wife cannot have children for some reason and you are not a landowner? What you do is "sell" the daughters (the word is not sell, it means marry off or give away which we do all the time today,)  or hire them to be servants or maids for 6 years so they can learn from a young age. The kids had to work so they can bring income to the family. I do not know about you, but my family or grand father's family, not too far removed lived like this. To us, in our lazy slothist world, it sounds like slavery and child abuse, but the ancients definition of slavery is MUCH more harsh than the one we have today. This was seen as very normal to have young kids and woman working hard and owed by the landowner until she comes to an age (puberty) where she does not have to to keep the land. She would be free to go and get married from around 13 to 18 years of age.

The 6 days is 6000 years. We are bondage to sin for 6000 years until the 7th which is the region of Yeshua.

We are the servant brought with a price which is the sacrifice of Jesus.

Yeshua the master provides us a wife, food and goods. We have the choice to accept that offer.

The servant is free from the work and to live in the landowner's house on the seventh year. This is the sabbatical year of rest. YHWH works in 7s. On that seven year, you must give them money for themselves so they can continue to live.

We are to not let the slave go empty handed. This links to the Israelites when they were originally slaves in Egypt.

"Exodus 3:21 World English Bible (WEB)

21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed."

This tells us if a wife is given to the servant at about the 4th year of his servants to the landowner, then the husband continues working for two more years and leaves the household at the appointed set time so the wife can then finish her years at her appointed set time. Actually, the money that the husband servant has been given after his 6 years of work can be used to help pay his wife who is still working for the landowner. After the wife is finished serving, she will get her money for the 7th year in which she will join with her husbands remaining money. This is a bonus for the poor servants because now they have enough money to survive for themselves! This is right and just! Why are not we doing this today? Because we have forgotten Torah that is why.

YHWH is actually abolishing slavery. Remember the Israelites just came from Egypt being slaves. His Torah is freedom and perfect so this can only make sense if He is abolishing slavery.

Laws are important. They protect us. I like to think of the Torah as the traffic signs, lights, seat belt, guard rails and lines on the road as i am driving. The reason why we have them? So we can be safe. This is why He give us the Torah as we can be safe from the enemy and the terrors of the world. Think of the Tribulation? What do you think is going to protect us if the law is done away with? Jesus! They (Christians) would say. Jesus is the Torah mate, He is not going to do away with Himself!. 

Without laws you have anarchy, and without freedom you have tyrant. We need a balance. This is what the Torah does. The Torah is the Heavenly inscriptions to run and construct a Godly nation. By rejecting them, you have an ungodly nation, which does work very smoothly.

This bizarre custom that if the salve wishes to stay with his master after the 6th year required him to go to the judges and have his ear pinned to a wooden door so it can bleed sounds horrible. This is because this paints a brilliant image of Jesus who WAS THE SUFFERING SERVANT at His first coming that bleed on a wooden cross so He can be with His Father! Jesus was accused and brought to the Pharisee and the Romans (Judges). After he bleeds on the doorpost, the servant is the landowners forever, just as Yeshua is God's forever. Remember, the landowner treats the servant as his best mate and part of his family, not as an animal! Why on earth would a servant want to even desires to want to stay at a landowner's house that treats him like an animal? Of course, the reason why the servant chooses to make this decision because he loves his master SOOOOO much, that he would endure pain in order to receive that gift of being with him for entirety. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YESHUA DID! This does not describes slavery, no this describes Messiah! It describes grace through the blood! 

The Torah says that the commandments are supposed to be written on the doorposts of our hearts. The ear is the symbol of hearing and listening to the voice of YHWH. God is making a strong point to us by showing through this act, how important it is to hear and know His word. Paints picture of the two exceptions in YHWH promise: Grace and obedience. We should love our master (YHWH) so much so we can be with Him.

Remember, we are the servant to Jesus Christ. This is physical picture, painting and spiritual idea. YHWH uses the Torah to package spiritual things in a  physical light so we can easily understand it. This is how Jesus preached, through parables. It is similar here with the Father.

This is unbelievable! The first commandments of the Torah are actually literally about Jesus! I wish Dispensationalist can understand this!

The time for both male and female servants serving for 6 years is the same. The translation in English is confusing and seems contradictory inverse 7. The words used for both male and female servant are different Hebrew words all together. The word can actually mean concubine which means wife. All this verse is talking about is a dowry.

The word used for manservant is not evening talking about a male specifically. This is what causes misunderstanding.

YHWH knows men's wicked hearts. If He see us wanting to have more than  one wife, He makes the situation harder for the man, giving Him the responsibility to not marry the first wife, marry the second BUT look after both women like family. This is a much harder job to do, so do not lust after polygamy.

If you do not like the servant woman you (landowner) are betrothed too, you can let them marry you brother so you can betroth another woman. Just because he does not want to marry her, she has to marry someone else because with no children, you cannot survive in ancient Israel. This is why she marries the brother while the man looks for another wife. But, the man must take care of the original woman, he cannot deny her the opportunity to get married. But let's say there is no man other than the landowner, then God says she MUST be kept at the landowner's house and looked after because she will die without kids.

If they accidentally have a child while they are about to marry, they must be married immediately, otherwise it is sin (transgression of the Torah.) But the father of the woman can deny the marriage. In fact, the answer to adultery and pornography in the bible is to get married, so it is forced upon those that have sex just outside of it. Marry was probably 15 years old when she gave birth to Jesus. Rebecca was apparently 12 to 18 years old in Jasher. Sadly, the reason why we have such a porn problem today is because we can live in a society where marriage is not an easy option, especially if you are a Christian wanting to listen to God. It is only in the last 100 years or so that the age of marriage has started drifting towards late 20s and 30s. This is the reason why pron is a problem. Humans can not control their sexual drives unless they are married. That is the reason why marriage was initiated. By removing it, it is easy to end up committing sexual immorality. The sexual impulses given by God cannot satisfy themselves in a way that does not break His Torah. In fact, the only solution to pornography is to get married so you can fulfil periodic sexual desires without sinning. This is a problem today because society encourages porn, homosexually and sex as well as making marriage something that is bondage and encouraging the sexes to stay away from a marriage covenant. That is just asking for trouble, which leads to many other problems like abortion. We have an abundant evidence that the ancients were overwhelmingly smart, so it only makes sense how they were able to identify the sexual impulse and when it begins to kick in. This fact is really been bothering me but i digress. If you are struggling with masturbation or sexual sin, i highly recommend you see this series by the Fuel Project. The answer in my opinion to stop abortion is to get married once you hit puberty.

If the woman is treated unfairly and is abused, she has the freedom to leave the landowner all together and find another to share love with. 

Obviously, murdering someone for whatever reason and at whatever age, is death because sin leads to death. This is the curse of the law that Jesus done away with.

Now everyone that hears about the 7 feast days, they says that they are only for the Jews. Well that is a utterly wrong because there were 12 tribes at the base of Mt Sinai when these laws were given and YHWH literally says that "even these are MY feasts." The Jews do not own them, they are the only ones that remain celebrating them because the other 10 tribes have fallen away.

A Holy Convocation translates to miqra which means rehearsal, to recite a divine script. It is therefore divinely called scripted rehearsals of YHWH's past and future acts of deliverance and empowerment. I have been doing Theatre for about 3 years now and we have to always memorise and rehearse lines for plays and monologue assessments and get our positions and the set pieces on and off the stage at a set time. The lighting and sound must be perfect and the lines and characterisation must be as best as possible. I see Yeshua as the main character that knows His lines, blocking and ques perfectly and the whole world is a stage. We are the actors that must learn our lines by having Holy convocations so on the opening night (when Yeshua returns) we will be ready to preform and put on an impressive show. The feats are dress rehearsals! It is so amazing how YHWH has spiritual meaning to all the physical things we do. Theatre is just a physical manifestation of what we must do to observe His feats. LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION! Theatre Bois! We could be at etch rehearsal. We are still trying to know the technological aspects of this thing. It will be up until the Two Witnesses come we have 3 years of perfect dress rehearsal. Yeshua is got a really goo track record. The main character!

Friday in Theatre Year 12 class at school. Good times. This is
what it should be when celebrating God's feasts. BTW that's
me on the left.

All throughout Scripture, YHWH worked and done amazing things on His feats days. He will do this again in the End Times. If you are studying eschatology outshout recognising the importance of the feats, you have no clue at what you are doing.

Like on Passover, YHWH released His people from out of Egypt and in a future Passover, H will do it again in the greater Exodus. This gets so deep, i trust you would do your own research on the feats and the End Days, because i have no tie to show you all the amazing revelations YHWH has shown me these last 2 and a half years.
"That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new?” It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us." Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
"These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come." 1 Corinthians 10:11 

The root from the word Moedim (feats days) means to betroth. So how could we not want to meditate and observer these holy days? It is like the most heart warming love letter ever written. We should be getting excited about these feats as we use to get excited about Christmas and Easter when we were kids.

The Tribulation Protection Plan:

Exodus 34:21-24

New Living Translation (NLT)

21 “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working, even during the seasons of plowing and harvest.

22 “You must celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the first crop of the wheat harvest, and celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the harvest season. 23 Three times each year every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out the other nations ahead of you and expand your territory, so no one will covet and conquer your land while you appear before the Lord your God three times each year.

Today these moedim have become tagged to one people group that hate their own King. They are memorials for the past and future acts of YHWH. How heartbreaking would it be to the Father if His festivals for us has been replaced by man-made holidays!

This was a shock to me as it will be for you reading. In my resent adolescent years after i came to the realisation that Santa is not real, I've began to wonder why we have Christmas trees and Santa traditions on Christmas as well on Jesus' birthday. It turns out, everything we do on Christmas has its roots to paganism. We know God is very strict about us NOT mixing with the pagans. He's on a broken record when warning His people before they are invaded by other nations. It reminded me of the story of the golden calf when the Israelites wanted to worship God their way. What happened? Oh yeah, about 3000 dead...

What's sad, Christians know this date December 25 is NOT Jesus's birthday, yet they still celebrate it! This is why atheists don't believe in Jesus because, they see that He can not be born in December, and he is just a copy of the many pagan sun gods like Osiris who were actually born on that day and worshipped by the pagans. The atheists don't see the truth that is the true day our Messiah was born which falls on Sep 11 on the Gregorian calendar.

But don't willingly ignore the truth that is put forward. Don't feel upset at me for showing you this.God has a holiday as an alternative that falls on December 25th and it is called Hanukkah. It goes for 8 days instead of one. He has also traded in 7 other Holidays each year with one every week. Now that is a bargain.

Why has the Torah chosen to focus and discuss the feasts in the midst of the information for priests and sacrifices and holiness?

The root word for moedim is ya'ad which means to meet with someone and commune with them very personally and intimately. When He says depart from me i never knew you, He is speaking about an intimating knowing. It is yada, the word for a husband and wife coming together.

The Tabernacle was a place where man was able to meet and establish a closer relationship with the Almighty. It was an opportunity for Him to grow closer through fellowship with YHWH and with all of Israel. The same word in Leviticus 23 is translated as moed for feast and meeting. What Torah is trying to tell us is that this meeting with YHWH takes place not just in the fixed space of the Tabernacle but also in the foxed time of the day.

We now understand how the instructions of the fest are in the middle of the instructions for the holiness of the priests, because it is our obedience of keeping of the feasts is referred to as callings of holiness.

Days like Shabbat is not an ordinary 24 hour period. It is instead a 24 hour period of unrestricted spiritual potential. It is an invitation like a date night. You can acknowledge it or you can ignore it, enjoy it or hate it, but it is impossible to change it. To return to the covenant is to keep the Shabbat.

In Passover, Pentecost and Sukkot we are to give a 10th of our possessions to YHWH.

PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT

We are living stones. As on the altar of Joshua, the stones are naturally cut and not chiselled like Canaanite altars. We are described as living stones in the Scriptures - 1 Peter 2:5 - which is interesting because all us humans have slight differences and are very deserve. This is why we are stones because we are different as the stones placed on the altars are different. Canaanites had stones that are identical, tells us Satan loves cloning people (which is happening right now.) If you see a church and everyone looks the same, the same race, the same clothes or similar clothes, they are not from God. Because God is accepting to all that desire to be accepted. It will be extremely diverse congregation if a church is lead by the Spirit. We need to worship God in a living stone way, The second you allow man to take his hammers and chisels and starting beating on you, eroding you to what they what you to become, then you have stop following the Creator and have become religious. Our own world is a Roman and I daresay: a Spartan society. More and more, people are afraid of radical new ideas, as the Spartans were. They are more and more engaged in manipulating the human gene pool to make us better: as the Spartans and the Nazis did. And if you attempt to go against this tradition by questioning the cultural consciousness and rocking the boat, you will be censored, deprived of your career, imprisoned, or even killed: as the Romans and Spartans were. They justify it by calling us terrorist or extremists, or ignorant. Fear is the tool of manipulation: just as the Romans and the Spartans used. This is why God tells us to not be friends with the world and what they stand for. It is flawed and cannot stop changing.
Strikingly, if you actually read the Hebrew Bible without using eisegesis, it condemns both religion (Matthew 15:9, Colossians 2:22, 1 Timothy 4:1, Matthew 15:3, Mark 7:13, Colossians 2:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 1 Peter 1:18 and Titus 1:14) and pseudo science like Darwinism, panspermia and astronomy/cosmology, (The entire book of Genesis, Job 9, Mark 13:25, Revelation 6:14, Isaiah 34:4, Job 22:14, Revelation 20:9, Job 26, Job 37:18, 2 Samuel 22:8, Isaiah 40:22, Ezekiel 1:26, Amos 9:6, 1 Chronicles 16:30, Proverbs 8 ect.)
Therefore religion is not following what God says to do, but following what man says about God - which ultimately leads to being against God. Thus, If you believe that believing the Bible literally makes you religious: that is absurd! The Bible would be condemning itself! You are not religious if you take the Bible for what it says! Jesus was anti-religion but not anti-Jewish like Christendom try to say (Matthew 23.)
There is a narrow path in between mainstream agenda-driven science and hypocritical vulgar religion. That is loving God and your fellow human (The Torah - the Way, the Truth and the Life.) Religion now is corrupt, judgemental and unfulfilling. The truth is righteous, full of mercy and a blessing.
The Hebrew word for stone is eben or Even, it is an aleph (strong leader), bet (house) noon means life. It would mean the son (ben) of life. Stone and son are connected phonetically. Interestingly, if you drop the noon, you get the word for Father - Abba. Now lets read the text with the word son instead.

Christianity teaches that Yeshua/Jesus is a false prophet because He did away with the Jewish Old Testament. That means the modern day Jesus was trying to make Israel sin against God - to follow Himself as another god. The Christian/ Catholic god is lawless. The real Yeshua did clarify the law. He followed it perfectly. This is why the Jews hate Jesus and reject Him because that Jesus is a false prophet according to the Bible. This is what the false Jesus of the modern day church teaches - scripture defines this as a false prophet.

• Christendom teaches that the seven Holy days have been done away with and placed by Christmas and Easter.  Obviously we see YHWH hates when we take things that are pagan and mixing it with the truth. It reminds Him of the murdering of babies, sex orgies and fire.
• Christendom teaches that the Sabbath of Genesis has been superseded by a Sunday Sabbath. This is the authority of the Catholic church that the Protestants are following.On the venerable day of the sun let the magistrate and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however, persons engaged in agricultural work may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain growing or for vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost. —Schaff’s History of the Christian Church, vol. III, chap. 75.
• In the Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, we read:
   

Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.

Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea, (AD 336) transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday….

Q. Why did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?
A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday, because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles on a Sunday.

Q. By what authority did the Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?
A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her!
—Rev. Peter Geiermann, C.SS.R., (1946), p. 50.

In Catholic Christian Instructed,

•  

  Q. Has the [Catholic] church power to make any alterations in the commandments of God?
  A. ...Instead of the seventh day, and other festivals appointed by the old law, the church has prescribed the Sundays and holy days to be set apart for God’s worship; and these we are now obliged to keep in consequence of God’s commandment, instead of the ancient Sabbath.
  —The Catholic Christian Instructed in the Sacraments, Sacrifices, Ceremonies, and Observances of the Church By Way of Question and Answer, RT Rev. Dr. Challoner, p. 204.

  
  In An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, 
   

  Q. How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
  A. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church.
  
  Q. How prove you that?
  A. Because by keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the church’s power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin; and by not keeping the rest [of the feasts] by her commanded, they again deny, in fact, the same power.
  –Rev. Henry Tuberville, D.D. (R.C.), (1833), page 58.

  
  In A Doctrinal Catechism,

  Q. Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept?
  A. Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her. She could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.
  –Rev. Stephen Keenan, (1851), p. 174.

  
  In the Catechism of the Council of Trent,

  The Church of God has thought it well to transfer the celebration and observance of the Sabbath to Sunday!
  –p 402, second revised edition (English), 1937.  (First published in 1566)

  
  In the Augsburg Confession,

  They [the Catholics] allege the Sabbath changed into Sunday, the Lord’s day, contrary to the decalogue, as it appears; neither is there any example more boasted of than the changing of the Sabbath day. Great, they say, is the power and authority of the church, since it dispensed with one of the ten commandments.
  —Art. 28.

• “For centuries millions of Christians have gathered to worship God on the first day of the week. Graciously He has accepted this worship. He has poured out His blessings upon Christian people as they have sought to serve Him. However, as one searches the Scriptures, he is forced to recognize that Sunday is not a day of God’s appointment… It has no foundation in Scripture, but has arisen entirely as a result of custom,” says Frank H. Yost, Ph.D. in The Early Christian Sabbath.
• Christendom teaches that the kosher requirements in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 have been abolished and all animals made clean. It is now okay to eat pork. In fact, this Jesus that was created supposedly said in Mark 7:1-23) that all animals are clean because of a scribal insertion that was entered in the Bible during the 1800s. All food means follows what is already been determined as clean in the Torah. 
• Many in Christianity teach there is no need for another temple.  
• Christianity teaches that following the Torah is witchcraft and a doctrine of devils.
• Christianity thinks that the church is a separate body from Israel and that Israel is only one tribe - the Jews, despite there being 12, which many later one became the British and European countries.

"Acts 20:29-30 World English Bible (WEB)

29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them."

"2 Peter 2:1-2 World English Bible (WEB)

2 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. 2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned."

"Joshua 24:22-24 World English Bible (WEB)

22 Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen Yahweh yourselves, to serve him.”

They said, “We are witnesses.”

23 “Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”

24 The people said to Joshua, “We will serve Yahweh our God, and we will listen to his voice.”

"1 Samuel 15:22-26 World English Bible (WEB)

22 Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”

24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”

26 Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”

We will be going through Tribulation in this world. We will not be escaping it during a Rapture because Scriptures says God will lead us into the Promise Land through a Greater Exodus. Yeshua also says that He does not wish us to be taken out of the world but to just preserve us from the evil one.

Just like eating food thinking it is from an idol defies our conscious, so when we eat something, thinking it is not kosher but it was, we have sinned.

"1 John 4:1-6 World English Bible (WEB)
4 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already. 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." 

Shalom
