Torah

B’re’shiyt

with Joseph interpreting the King’s dreams

Joseph giving his brothers a very hard time…

I
was listening to Rob Skiba yesterday and in it Rob said something very
interesting…
He said that in Genesis 25 – where Esau sells his birthright to Yaakov / Jacob
– that this doesn’t make sense – and the long story short – according to the
book of Jasher – is that Esau had just come in from killing Nimrod!
He
had just killed the evil king of the world…
He had to be feeling like he was a dead man already…
Interesting
– in a bit of research I found that Josephus says that Shem, son of Noah killed
Nimrod.
I think the Esau story makes more sense.
Interesting that Jasher also says that Esau not only killed Nimrod, but he stole the garments of skin that Yah had made from Adam and Chavah in the Garden….
The story is that these were passed down to Noah – and he had them on the boat… but the day when Noah got drunk and Ham…. Well, that is when Ham stole them from Noah.
The story even suggests that the garments were very powerful and that is why Nimrod began to change – because of wearing those garments.
Interesting!

Recently I read : Giants, Gods & Dragons – Exposing the Fallen Realm and the Plot to Ignite the Final War of the Ages by Sharon and Derek Gilbert.
This is the book that the last part made it really really hard for me to relax and go to sleep!
But there are some very interesting things researched in it… and I think it would be beneficial for us to know about them…..
The
Gilberts believe very much what I have been teaching here at HLM –
That Genesis 1:1 – is the creation – a done / completed work, by one being.
And Genesis 1:2 – we have that formerly completed work – a complete mess.
The point is – that something happened between verse one and verse 2.
Remember the Hebrew words – Tohu Vavohu – in 1:2… and we’ve always talked about that – according to Brad Scott – meaning= “astonishingly confused”.
Well,
the Gilberts go on to explain that the catastrophe between verses one and two –
has been called by scholars:
Chaoskampf: an ancient war that formed the pattern for what’s to come in our future.
If
we are going to understand the end of days – the Gilberts say we have to
understand chaoskampf.
Chaoskampf
= the history of a long spiritual war
that
will one day end, with a new heaven and a new earth:
A
return to a pristine former glory.
The end from the beginning – the beginning from the end.
They go on to explain that chaos – could also be a power – an entity – not just something that describes a state of being, but an entity.
They
explain that we can see chaos and confusion and disarray
OR
We
can see it chaos as an entity. – The Chaos Dragon.
***
Something else. -The Tower of Babel.
Babel
was not in Babylon; it was in Eridu.
The
tower was the temple of the god Eridu.
It’
s purpose was to create an artificial mount of the assembly
The abode of the gods, to which humans have access.
This artificial mount of assembly was to be built on the mount of assembly of the gods, an artificial mount of assembly,
right on top of the abzu = the abyss.
Oh
but who should be surprised???!
It’s
always been a war!
Now let’s skip ahead in the book, all the way to p 67…
The authors write some very interesting statements:
“The
gift of these Watchers offered to human women (and possibly to their families)
in exchange for sexual intimacy -- was forbidden knowledge, the same deal the
nachash offered Adam and Chavah in Eden.
As
payment for the pleasures of the flesh,
Semjaza and his rebellious companions offered charms, enchantments, astrology, metallurgy (read that as weaponry for warfare), cosmetics, and writing, among other things – presumably arts that humans would have developed or discovered on their own, given time.”
“The
products of these illicit unions were giants, the Nephilim, whose stature and
abilities far surpassed their human relatives.
Believing themselves gods, these “men of renown” pillaged the earth and endangered all of humanity. The Nephilim consumed everything that men possessed; when that wasn’t enough, they began to eat people and they finally turned on one another. Enoch describes these cannibalistic colossal in creatures of insatiable desire who threatened to pollute and even terminate the bloodline of the future Messiah by violence - but also by corrupting the human genome.”
Interesting that the authors are talking about these powerful beings coming …
to attack…
Recently
I saw the trailer for the movie
Spider-Man No Way Home
Now why is this a big deal?
This
is what is happening!!!
Things
with “super powers” are coming through portals.
This is a picture of what is going on… if you think of the characters coming through as spirits…
For more than 8 years they have been using portals, according to Rob Skiba…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeYkx--HkMg
32:43 - 36:06 (talking about the giant that was found)
1:01.0
– 1:03.14
And about -“the mark will have to be
an injection!” !!!
It’s
not any more a big deal than other movies and books
Like
Huxley’s Brave New World
1981
The Bionic Man
Splice
Independence Day
The Avengers
Little Mermaid
What else can you think of?
They
tell us what they are going to do before they do it.
Why?
Amos
3:7
p 463
“Surely the Master YHUH will do nothing, but He reveals His secrets to His avadim the neviim (servants the prophets).”
This
is a spiritual law, so to speak.
YHUH
decided this was going to be for Him.
And if it is this way for Him, it is this way hasatan will counterfeit!
So there is all this – awful – but now what?
(Resource: Don’t give the enemy a seat at your table.” )
I want to go back to :
Romiyah
/ Romans 12:1-2
p 848
“I
beg you therefore, Yisraelite brothers, by the rachamim of Yah, that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice, kadosh acceptable to YHUH, which is
your act of reasonable worship.
And
be not conformed to this olam hazeh.
2
And be not conformed to the olam hazeh (world); but be transformed by the
ongoing renewing of your mind, that you may discern what is the tov,
acceptable, and even the perfect, will of YHUH.”
So
let’s go to
Psalm
23: 5 p 503
“You prepare a shulchan/table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
A
beautiful – table is set – on a battle
field… right in the middle…
And someone is going to sit down at the table… who will it be?
How
well do we know Yahusha?
Can He come and hang out with us awhile?
Louie Giglio wrote:
“Lingering
with the Almighty is the best defense against the Enemy who’s trying to get at
your table. Stop looking at the Enemy
and you start looking at Yahuah.
Sure, there is strategy in knowing the Enemy’s tactics, in learning how to keep the Enemy from sitting down. Yet there is even greater strategy in exchange for defensive for the offensive, the negative for the positive.”
“The way you renew your mind is to wrap your thoughts around Scripture.”

To
carry on with this theme I want to teach you something else…
Rare
Leadership in the Workplace by Marcus Warner and Jim Wilder
“There is a difference between handling hardship and handling it well. The difference lies in a person’s ability to remain relational, and act like themselves, and return to joy in spite of the hardships.”
The 4 Habits of Rare leaders, or mature people
1.
Remain relational
Plus
2.
Act
like yourself
Plus
3.
Return
to joy
Endure hardship well.
Now hear this –
The
brain runs on one of two kinds of fear:
Joy
Fear
“Joy is our deepest motivation and need.
Fear
is always destructive as a long-term source of motivation.”
2
Tracks:
A.
Fast Track = the operating system that
1.
regulates
our emotions and
2.
helps
us read what is going on in the world around us.
3.
It
also remembers who we are and how it is like us to act.”
4.
As
long as fast track is operational – our relational circuits are running
B.
Slow track =
1.
Where
we create narratives, solve problems and perform tasks.
2. Calls up everything we know from the past in order to anticipate the future and try to create plans that will maintain thinking and decision making.
