Just another cool Bible Story, or is there more?
This is an account of one righteous man (Tzadik) in an evil generation. This nation is just like ours. Notice Noah was obedient to what he was told, but He was so very different. “Noah, build a huge boat, ark, one and half times bigger than a football field.” Do you think people saw him as different?
Start the Biblical year out with a Great Hunger and Thirst for HIS Righteousness and the Word, Yeshua
Genesis 1:1 "B'reshiyth bara' elohim את et ha shamayim v'et את ha eretz
1:1 Genesisבראשׁית ברא אלהים את השׁמים ואת הארץ ׃
In The Beginning was the את Aleph-Tav heaven & the את Aleph Tav earth. John said in Revelation that Yeshua is the Aleph-Tav. YESHUA is the Aleph-Tav!!!
Everything was created by Yeshua. Revelation 4:11, Colossians 1:6; John 1:3
This is the Year to Build the Body. 1 Corinthians 14:12
This is the Year of “To Find HIS Fullness in YOU” My New Beginning!!
Simchat Torah - Simchat Torah -The Joy of God’s Teaching and Instructions
The majesty of God; the blessings of the twelve tribes; the Excellency of Israel. Moses from mount Nebo views the land; he dies there; his burial; his age; thirty days’ mourning for him, Joshua succeeds him; the praise of Moses.
Revelation 21:3 - And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of Elohim is with(in) men: and he will dwell (Sukkot) with them. And they shall be his people: and God himself with them shall be their God. (DRB)
1 Corinthians 3:16 - Don’t you know that you that you are the temple of the Living God and that the Spirit of Yahweh dwells in you?
If you Read all these Scriptures, even the ones in the Brit, it will enlighten you and put a fire in and put a fire in you all week long!
Is Yahweh dwelling in YOU?
Ever wondered why Yahweh, Elohim seemed to take a special delight in the sound of a shofar? The shofar is a ram's horn, according to Strong's Dictionary #H7782, it is translated as "trumpet" or “trumpets” 68 out of 72 times in the Old Testament. What does the sounding of the shofar mean for us - the people called to be Torah observant?
2 Corinthians 2:1-11
Galatians 3:10-14
Hebrews 7:23-10:25
Amos 9:7-15
Ezekiel 20:2-20
Romans 3:19-28; 9:30-10:13
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
How are we to approach God? Do we come as we are, or do we need to make things right first?
Is it different for those who don't know God yet than it is for His priests? With knowledge comes responsibility. Things certainly changed for Adam and Eve once they received the Knowledge of Good and Evil - their relationship with God changed forever.
What offerings do we bring to God? Do we do it on our terms, or His? Do we follow the pagan practices of the culture, or do we live as the set-apart, holy people of Yahweh?
Can we experience oneness with Him (again)?
A Few Hebrew Definitions
Wilderness, H4057 רמדב ּ◌midbar: pasture, the field, this is the area that animals & ungodly people lived in. It is considered ‘outside of Torah’, outside the camp, or outside of God’s teachings.
Scapegoat, H5799 עזאזל aza'zel: entire removal; this refers to the goat used for sacrifice for the sins of the people, the goat that departs with the sin, away from the holy people. (Used only 4 times in the word, all in Lev 16.) This is another great picture of Yeshua.
Whoredom, H2183 ן ּ◌ו נ zaw-noon': From H2181; adultery; figuratively idolatry. A. H2184 ת וּ נ ז zen-ooth': From H2181; adultery, idolatry. B. H2181 ה נ זzaw-naw: to commit adultery (usually of the female, and less often of simple fornication, rarely involuntary); figuratively to commit idolatry (the Jewish people being regarded as the spouse of Yahweh).
Lewdness, H2154 ה מ ז / ה ּ◌ מ ז zimmah / zammah: evil & mischievous purpose, adultery, idolatry.
Sanctify, H6942 ש ד ק Kadash: to consecrate, sanctify, preparation to enter HIS presence; be separate, and HOLY.
Holy, H6918 שׁ ד ק Kadosh: sacred, holy, Holy One, saint, set apart.
Atonement, H3722/3725 פרכ ּ◌kaphar/kippur: cover, purge, to make reconciliation; AT-One-ment
Our tongues curse so many people. Please be careful what you say to others, how you judge them, and curse them. Curse not Israel or you will receive the curse.
Ask for some wisdom, and you will receive it!
This portion is so powerful in the Spirit of HIS kingdom, Self-Examination, Constant Introspection
Leviticus 15:31 You must keep the children of Yisra'el separate (Niddah) from their uncleanness, (the things of the world that defile them) that makes them unclean…” Our tongues curse so many people. Please be careful what you say to others, how you judge them, and curse them. Curse not Israel or you will receive the curse. Ask for some wisdom, and you will receive it!
We see Aaron's sons (priests) die when they approach God's presence with "strange fire", not the way they were just trained and instructed to do. What does this lesson hold for us, regarding the way we might approach God on our terms?
Look at the “Pattern”. There is a process to coming into HIS presence, it hasn’t changed. Nadab and Abihu didn’t follow the prescribed procedure, the “Pattern” and they came in with their agenda and their way. There is only one way to come into HIS presence. So what has been your approach, your pattern or “strange sacrifice”?? This picture is filled with Yeshua. The priests are given directions to make atonement; Yeshua is the atonement for us! We have the results if we don’t follow His procedures (“Choose Life”). Then we have directions for Kashrut, showing two things:
(1) The areas of physical “Clean” & “Unclean”. Tahor & Tamei
(2) The areas of Spiritual Tables that we eat from today of “Clean’ & “Unclean”.
The Sabbath before Pesach is called Sabbath HaGadol: “The Great Sabbath.” This is a great study of our “flesh nature” being a living sacrifice, offered up to Yahweh as His Witness and Bride. The actual understanding of Korban (Offering) is to be in His presence - “to come near."
