Torah portion ~ Yitro (Jethro)
Sh’mot /Exodus 18:1- 20:23 (26) cjb p 80
Today we are going to read the Torah Portion… There is always so much in them but today is seems especially full … and of things that pertain to the study we have been doing on TRUTH.
**
Sh’mot 18 cjb p 80
18:1 “Not Yitro the priest of Midyan…” = Yitro served YHWH!!!
18:19 “advice” = chetah = “tree of”
18:20 “laws” = chuqiym = decrees
“teachings” = Torah
“how to live their lives and what they should do” = halakhah = the way to walk Torah.
**
Sh’mot 19 cjb p 81
(Notice how many times Moshe went up and down!)
19:4 “brought you to myself” = It was not about the instructions that delivered them… The blood of the Lamb delivered them… the instructions blessed them.”
19:5 “set apart” = kadosh = holy
19:8 = vows
19:11 - many “third day”s
19:16 the first and only one of 2 times that YHWH blew the shofar.
The other time YHWH blows the shofar will be…
Z’kharyah /Zechariah 9:14 cjb p 779
(this is in the end of days…)
“YHWH will appear over them, and his arrow will flash like lightning. YHWH Elohim will blow the shofar and go out in the whirlwinds of the south.”
19:16 “…Then a shofar blast sounded” = Tekiah ha Gedolah = loudest and last trump of Sukkot.
This is also mentioned in :
I Thessalonians 4:16-17 cjb p 1476
“For YHWH himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with YHWH’s shofar, those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; 17 then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet YHWH in the air; and thus we will always be with YHWH.”
**
Sh’mot 20 cjb p 82
“The 10 Living Words”
Remember we talked in the first teaching about TRUTH… that christianity skips the first one… = 20:2
and makes 2 of the second one…. and ignores the 4th one…
and if you don’t include the 1st one… That YHWH is Elohim/God….
and you ignore the 4th one… then the rest you can do to any god… because the 1st and the 4th are what makes it clear that these are YHWH’s instructions… not some other god.
Not what is messing up the TRUTH!
**
**
In the first two teachings on TRUTH -
-we talked about…Shaul warns us
Ma’sey hash - Sh’liyechiym - the Emissaries of Yahushua the Messiah /Acts 20:27-31 cjb p 1389
He’s saying... watch out... there are bunch of “savage wolves” among you ... they are coming from within the assembly...
and they “teach perversions of the truth.” !!
we talked about some of the scripture is apostate… “a standing a way from Torah”
-We talked about the King James being published 2 years after all the Jews / Torah keepers had been thrown out of England…. and the bias that comes with.
-We talked about a man named Marcion who in the 2nd century did not believe in the Elohim of the Tanakh or the Tanakh itself.
He also edited 10 books in the Brit Chadashah (NT) and the book of Luke.
Marcion said he removed “all the Jewish corruption” from the scriptures.
-We talked about the Greek words “ergon nomo” which means = works of law... traditions of men... and legalism. This does NOT mean Torah.
But again, it is translated, as “Law” and that being “Torah”.
We talked about Galatians 3:10 cjb p 1454
“ For everyone who depends on legalistic observance of Torah commands lives under a curse, since it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the Scroll of the Torah.”
The Renewed Covenant version says Gal 3:10 “For as many that are under the works of law are under a curse.”
Remember “works of law” - actually means what??
“works of the laws of men” - the oral tradition = traditions of man
= legalism!!
but...
The NIV and the NLT doesn’t say that...
in fact - they say something completely different.
Gal 3:10 NLT = “But those who depend on the law to make them right with god are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”
Gal 3:10 NIV = “For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law”...
*
We also looked at
1 Yochanan /John 3:4 cjb p 1526
“Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah -- indeed, sin is the violation of Torah.”
*
We spent some time and we looked in the Torah (first five books of the Tanakh)
and in the Niveim -prophets and in the ketuveim - the writings …
… and found how over and over - the book says “keep Torah”
*
We talked about Yahushua’s first teaching in Mattityahu 5:17-20
and again over and over it says - KEEP TORAH.
*
We also talked about how in D’varim 4:2 it says don’t add to or take away from the Torah…
and
D’varim 13:1-6 - about what a false prophet is… even if they do signs and wonders and miracles…. if they lead you away from Torah…. they are a false prophet.
Now …
Let’s go to
Ivriym /Hebrews 7:11 cjb p 1499
“Therefore, if it had been possible to reach the goal through the system of cohanim derived from Levi (since in connection with it the people were given the Torah), what need would there have been for another , different kind of cohen, the one spoken of as to be compared with Malki-Tzedek and not to be compared with Aharon?”
The words “were given the Torah” =
= Strong’s # 3549 = “nomo methethesis” =
= “received the law/Torah” - or - “given as torah”
and if you look in NIV and NLT and KJ it is the same…
NOW :
Hebrews 8:6 in the apostate rendering is...
“But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry in as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which was established on better promises.”
NLT - Hebrews 8:6 “But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.”
The NIV says - Heb 8:6 “But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.”
that is what they say it says.
… we’ve got a problem though …
the phrase....
“that which was established”
in Heb 8:6 is Strong’s # 3549
# 3549 - the word is -- “no mo methethesis” = “received the law/Torah” or “given as Torah”
the Complete Jewish Bible says...
Ivriym 8:6 cjb p 1500
“But now the work Yahushua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant he mediates is better. For this covenant has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises.”
the apostate is opposite of what the Words actually mean.
*
Wait a minute....
Now back up and look at Ivriym /Hebrews 7:11
Why, here in Heb 7:11 was it translated correctly as “received the Torah” or “given as torah”....
...
yet down here in Heb 8:6 the very same word - Strongs # 3549 is translated “which was established” ??
The correct renderings are:
Ivriym 8:6 cjb p 1500
“But now the work Yahushua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant he mediates is better. For this covenant has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises.”
OR -
“But now, He has obtained a more excellent ministry in as much as he also is mediator of a better covenant which has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises.”
Wow, that makes a lot of difference doesn’t it?!
“But now, He has obtained a more excellent ministry in as much as he also is mediator of a better covenant which has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises.”
wow. - a completely PRO Torah statement vs the apostate - COMPLETELY ANTI TORAH TRANSLATION!
*
And then he goes on to quote what (??)
….. in Ivriym 8:7 -12 cjb p 1500 ???
TORAH!! Yirmeyahu / Jeremiah 31:31 - 34 cjb p 601 --
32 “... I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
This is not a NEW covenant new statement... it is the same thing throughout the book!
Strongs # 3549 in Heb 7:11 and Heb 8:6 makes it CLEAR that ...
....the Renewed Covenant IS TORAH.
But the apostate renderings are trying to mediate a different covenant void of Torah — so they don’t put it in
Why did they translate Ivriym / Hebrews 7:11 correctly
and why did they totally skip over it and change the translation and meaning in Ivriym /Heb 8:6 ??
They already established that they knew what they were doing up there in 7:11 but down here in 8:6
they totally changed it to “which was established.”
instead of “which has been given or received as Torah/ Law”
No wonder we need to STUDY!!
*
NOW - what about Rav Shaul? (The Apostle Paul)
Remember Marcion’s Apostle Paul is a lawless (Torah-less ) apostle in opposition to Torah
and this is the apostle we were taught to follow above all else as we were in christianity.
What do most people who challenge what we teach about keeping Torah use to come against us?
The Apostle Paul... the Torahless believer.
Because this is in the book they read that says Holy Bible on it... and nobody is bothering to check on the TRUTH!!!
BUT
RAV Shaul - RABBI Shaul
what does he tell us...??...
Romans 3 cjb p 1404
its amazing how many people will skip over this as they try and rummage through Romans to try and justify a lawless/ torah-less life
Romans 3:31
Rav Shaul asks a question “
“do we make void the Torah, through faith? Certainly NOT! On the contrary - we uphold it!”
*
Now turn to
Romans 6:14 cjb p 1408 and....
... turn to
I Yochanan /John 3:4 cjb p 1526 - (i know we already read it)
Let’s establish something from
1 Yochanan 3:4
= defines that sin is Torahlessness
Remember that.
So with that in mind
go to
Romans 6:14 cjb p and you will see a Marcion edit here
We are NOT going to read the Complete Jewish first...
let’s start with apostate scriptures ...
Romans 6:14 in the King James reads...
“For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:14 in the NIV reads....
“For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:14 in the NLT reads...
“Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.”
wow... not under the “LAW” but under GRACE.
Remember last week how we talked about when people see “Law” - they think Torah....
… but what it really meant was “ergon nomo” = the traditions of man/ legalism... and it had nothing to do with TORAH - the instructions YHWH gave on how to live HOLY unto Him.
*
What should
Romans 6:14 say???....
let’s look in the Complete Jewish Bible....
Romans 6:14 cjb p 1408
“For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace.”
So the TRUTH IS ... it’s talking about “works of law” - which is “the traditions of men” or “legalism”.......
… and many of the translations don’t have that b/c it has been edited by Marcion in the 2nd century
…. and people aren’t checking -- they aren’t studying!!
They are believing what the wolves in sheeps’ clothing have written and are teaching.
Remember - a bible study to most believers means... reading the Word and then talking about “what it means to me” and “what it means to you”... and of course … what it means to one may not be what it means to another…. if they don’t study Torah.
We know that YHWH is not schizophrenic or double minded... It’s always clear... and if it up to “how you interpret it” - the translation is messed up. - get the Hebrew meaning and it will be CLEAR.12
What does Shaul go on to say in the next few verses???
Romans 6:15-18 cjb p 1408
So... just as we see in Romans 3 we can see here in Romans 6...
- Rabbi Shaul is UPHOLDING TORAH.
Romans 8:5-8 cjb p 1410
See where it says... “is hostile to God”/YHWH??
we could say... instead - “has enmity against Elohiym”
or another way to say what Rav Shaul is saying here....
“If you are still in the flesh, you are going to have enmity against Torah.
If you are in the Ruach you are going to love His Torah”
-“You shall know them by their fruit”
Where do we first hear about enmity??
B’re’shiyt 3:15 cjb p 3
“I will put animosity (enmity) between you and the woman and between your descendant and her descendant: he will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
But right here in Romans 8:5-8
Rav Shaul says it ...
... the carnal mind is at war /enmity against Elohiym.
Why is the carnal mind at war against Elohiym?
B/c it is not subject to Torah therefore those who are in the carnal mind/ the flesh can not please Elohiym
Then he goes on and exposes it further in
Romans 8:12- cjb p 1410
“So then, brothers, we don’t owe a thing to our old nature (flesh) that would require us to live according to our old nature (flesh). 13 For if you live according to your old nature, you will certainly die: but if by the Spirit, you keep putting to death the practices of the body, you will live.”
If you live in opposition to Torah... you live according to the old nature/ flesh - ... then what happens?
= you will die.
This is what it says!....
Rabbi Sha’ul is in direct conflict and opposition with the lawless Paul that has been spoken and taught in the 20th and 21st centuries by religious men in churches!!
It’s very clear -
- you can’t read the Word based on what it really means... or SAID....and believe that Paul was thee apostle, or believe that he said to get rid of Torah.
In fact, we know he kept it...
In Acts 18:18 cjb p 1386
“Sha’ul remained for some time, then said good-bye to the brothers and sailed off to Syria, after having his hair cut short in Cenchrea, because he had take a vow; with him were Priscilla and Aquila.”
This vow - is probably a Nazarite vow... a sign of commitment to Torah... He started it here in Acts 18:18 and in
Acts 21:23-24 cjb p 1391 he went through the “proper ceremonies”.
“So do what we tell you. WE have four men who are under a vow. 24 Take them with you, be purified with them, and pay the expenses connected with having their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is nothing to these rumors which they have heard about you; but that, on the contrary, you yourself stay in line and keep the Torah.”
**
So...
let the “false teachers” be silenced.
let the “another gospel” be silenced
let the followers of the lawless christ be silenced
let the followers of the lawless paul be silenced
let those who want a New Testament that is void of Torah be silenced....
b/c Rabbi Sha’ul says right here...
Acts 26:19 cjb p 1397
“So, King Agrippa, I did not disobey the vision from heaven! 20 On the contrary, I announced first in Dammasek, then in Yerushalayim and throughout Y’hudah, and also to the Goyim, that they should turn from (Teshuvah) their sins to YHWH and do deeds consistent with that repentance (that would be Torah). 21 It was because of these things that Jews seized me in the Temple and tried to kill me. 22 However, i have had YHWH’s help; so to this day, I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing but what both the prophets and Moshe said would happen -- 23 that the Messiah would die, and that he, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to both the People and the Goyim.”
Rav Shaul did not preach or teach anything BUT Torah and Mashiach!
We want all YHWH’s people to understand the TRUTH...
We want them to know what Mashiach is talking about in
Mattityahu 15:24 cjb p 1243
“He said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el.”...
….That He is making the 2 sticks one in the Shepherd’s hand!
One flock - composed of the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.... a spotless BRIDE - so that Mashiach can return... so that there can be a marriage supper of the Lamb and a new heaven and a new earth....
We want them to understand their TRUE identity... as part of Isra’el... either by family line or by grafting in....
but always and only choosing to be part of Isra’el.
In order to understand the TRUTH we have to study the Word in it’s TRUTH... and not in the apostate versions some man decided to change!
It is only in the uncorrupted Scriptures that we find TRUTH.
We can’t go into a store and pick up a book that says Holy Bible on it and be sure it is TRUETH unless we study and see what it says in the original!
We must present an uncorrupted Mashiach ... so that the WHOLE bride - both houses can be restored!
We need to be able to say - based on original Word...
I serve a Jewish Messiah.... His name is Yahushua ... He kept Torah and I keep Torah....
in order to line up with TRUTH.
**
There is a safer of Mattityahu - version written by
Shem Tov Ebein Shabruit.
He was a 14th century Spanish Jew, and during the
Spanish Inquisitions which are called “the disputations”...
..... What would happen is that there were public debates that were forced on the Jews by the Catholics ... A Rabbi would be drug from the synagogue in front of everybody and he would be forced to defend the Jewish faith and be forced to debate on the spot with the Catholics.
If he lost - then the whole community would be forced to convert to Catholicism and if he won then he would be charged with insulting the throne and he would have to flee for his life = a no win situation
But this particular spanish Jew - He had a copy of Mattityahu in Hebrew .....
...and he wrote and exposed many inconsistencies of Roman Catholic scriptures of how they didn’t keep Torah - the sabbath, etc ... and how the Mashiach upheld Torah
His Hebrew copy of the book of Mattityahu is now in a museum in Isra’el...
Our scriptures are hellenized… by a man named Marcion and many many others after…
But there are Hebrew-isms...
Yochanan 1... many people would skip and not see this...
Yochanan / John 1:38
“...They said to him Rabbi....” and then they write “teacher”...
.....well right here the word rabbi in a greek texts points to a Hebrew original ...
and then
Yochanan 1:41 “We have found the Messiah” - which is translated christ...
... But it points to a Hebrew original ...b/c the word Mashiach is in there!
Yochanan1:42.. “You are Simon son of Jonah.. you shall be called Kefa”... which is Hebrew
**
I also want to look at:
Colossians 2:14 in the King James says...
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”
Colossians 2:14 in the NIV says...
“having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.”
Colossians 2:14 in the NLT says...
“He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.”
Now this is important... because, look at what the Complete Jewish says....
Colossians 2:14cjb p 1471
“He wiped away the bill of charges against us. Because of the regulations, it stood as a testimony against us; but he removed it by nailing it to the execution -stake.”
What got nailed with Him?… the bill of charge.. my bill of charge. Your bill of charge.
There is not a lot of difference... but i will tell you what “the church” teaches that this MEANS....
It teaches that this means... that TORAH was nailed to the stake.... and so is done away with.
Torah wasn’t nailed to the stake with Mashiach... the list of MY sins and the list of YOUR sins were nailed to the stake and cancelled. Baruch hashem YHWH!!
Now lets’ look at
Philippians 2:10 and 11.
-This is an often quoted verse.... from apostate translations....
Philippians 2:10-11 in King James says...
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:10-11 in the NIV says...
“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:10-11 in the NLT says....
“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Really? Is this TRUTH?
This is what i believed most of my life....
and this is a simple and perfect example of the apostate Scriptures....
Philippians 2:10-11 in the Compete Jewish Bible p 1466 says...
“that in honor of the name given Yahushua, every knee will bow -- in heaven, on earth and under the earth -- and every tongue will acknowledge that Yahushua is YHWH to the glory of God the Father.”
What is the big deal?
the big deal is the apostate scriptures do not say... that Yahushua is (Adonai) YHWH....
... that would mess up the whole apostate doctrine of “trinity”!
you see how the “mistranslations” all play into what “the church” teaches? !!
**
We also have testimony of
Papius - a disciple of Yochanan - he lived from about 60 - 130 CE and he said
“Mattityahu collected the words in Hebrew language and each translated them as best as he could.”
It takes 2 or more witnesses to declare truth... and we have many many....but many people want to hide TRUTH and say ....”the Greek originals”.... that is a LIE.
If we go over what it says in the most original understandings... we see that the faith we came out of was hellenized and full of corruptions... it was pro-christian and anti-Isra’el...
and we an see that christianity is actually the “another gospel”.... the “OTHER GOOD NEWS”
Wake up Isra’el!!
There are many who promote lawlessness - Torahlessness...
some may say they keep the commandments...
but when do the worship?
What do they eat?
and do they even know the first of the “Ten Commandments” - to use their own terms???....
... “I am YHWH your Elohiym, who brought you out of the land of Mitzriem, out of the abode of slavery.”
They promote a Torah-less = lawless Mashiach, who came to end Torah...
BUT praise YHWH... we can learn the TRUTH and be set free from the traditions of men.
We can read “The Scriptures”, “the Restoration Scriptures True Name edition” , we can read the “Hebraic Roots” version, and we can read the Interlinear... and we can learn to take a word - in English back to Hebrew to find out it’s true meaning....
...to expose the 2 thousand years of mistranslations and covering up and lies.... that are - yes - in many books that say “HOLY BIBLE” on them!!
I invite you to study the WORD in order that you learn the TRUTH.
BUT you can’t study just any book that says “holy Bible”...
you have to study one that is based on what it meant when it was first written... by Hebrews, in Hebrew ... to call Hebrews back ....
So that we can all be part of the BRIDE.
Remember Yahushua is not going marry an adulteress....
He will marry the ones who have come back to HIM... to His Torah... and have left paganism.
There are a lot of people “saved”.... but not many at the Wedding feast....
May we know the TRUTH…. so that it can set us free…
…So we can be part of that feast.
AMEIN and AMEIN.
