33 B’re’shiyt teaching - B’re’shiyt 1:9 cont
******
Since it has been so long since we were in the
B’re’shiyt teaching and we are in the middle of verse 1:9... let’s back up and
review that verse from the beginning.
B’re’shiyt 1:9
Page 34 in your study guide by Brad Scott.
“Vayyo’mer Elohiym yiq-qavu ham-mayim mit-tachat
hash-shamayim el-maqom ‘echad v’tera’eh hay-yab-bashah vay’hiy ken.”
directly translated into English it reads:
“And said Elohiym, let be gathered together the
waters under the heaven unto place one, and appear dry land: so and it was.”
English translation:
“And Elohiym said, Let the waters under the heaven
be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was
so.”
Let’s review:
VAYYO’MER
= and said, spoke, think, command, promise
ELOHIYM
= the mighty one; YHWH
YIQ-QAVU
= to gather, to wait, hope, yearn (related to miqvah / baptismal)
HAM-MAYIM
= the waters
MIT-TACHAT
= under, instead of in place of, understudy (mashiach tachat = anti-messiah
HASH-SHAMAYIM
= the heaven
EL-MAQOM
=
root
= qum = to arise, establish, place, home, to set into place.
...
the literal understanding is that ...
...
all the waters were set into one place (over all) - until the dry land appears
and then the waters settle into the various places on the earth as the land
raises up.
“ARISE” in Hebrew means to set into place, to take
your place, to establish your place.”
“Arise O YHWH” means - “to take your place O YHWH”
This is not just about grace and mercy that flows
from YHWH’s heart....but also that He is a judge and He judges with
righteousness.
.... So, when we say - “arise oh Lord” - we are
crying out that He establish...
Yesha’Yahu / Isaiah 60:1 RSTNE p 342
“Arise, shine; for your Light has come, and the
tifereth ( beauty, glory) of YHWH has risen upon you.”
and the
foot notes say - “Messiah Y’shua our High Priest is the tifereth, or beauty of
YHWH.”
~
The last time we talked about Brad Scott’s
B’re’shiyt teaching then, if you recall...
... we talked about FEAR a bit:
Yir’m’yahu /Jer 5:22
He says... in King James English: “fear ye not me sayth the Lord.”
CJB says “ Don’t you fear me? - says Adonai. Won’t you tremble at my
presence?...”
But the Restoration Scriptures says, on p 353...
“Don’t
you fear me? says YHWH: Will you not tremble at My presence, that has
placed the sand as a boundary of the sea by an eternal decree, that it cannot
pass: and though the waves toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail against it;
though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it?”
~
now we’ve heard fear defined as “reverential fear
and awe of YHWH”
BUT....
“Yarray” = fear - means just
exactly what you think FEAR means.. .
....that is shaking in your boots - fear and
trembling - your knees knocking.
FEAR means FEAR!!
~~
When the Word talks about fearing enemies - it is talking about “tremble”.
--This is the use of the reference to the creation
along with chastisement and judgement.
Now we see a gathering together - a hoping and a
waiting.. baptismal and place of baptism.. we see that happening to the
creation - and it sets the pattern for what Yah does for people... and they
will be set into place and established - fulfilled.
*
The next word is
V’TERA”EH
= “and appear”
This word first appeared in B’re’shiyt 1:4 = when
we talked about and YHWH saw
Here it is “to appear” or “to see” and the dry
land came and was seen.
like Rah - ah - to make known... to understand...
**
So so far we have:
“Vayyo’mer Elohiym yiq-qavu ham-mayim mit-tachat
hash-shamayim el-maqom ‘echad v’tera’eh
English translation:
“And Elohiym said, Let the waters under the heaven
be gathered together unto one place, ”
AND now ~ we come to our new word:
on page 35 of your study guide:
HAY-YAB-BASHAH
= the dry land
The root = the Hebrew word is Yavesh
Which means = “to be dry, to wither”
AND we are also going to see the establishment of
what is heavenly and what is earthy....
We humans associate with the dry ground, because
humans were taken from the dry ground....
Let’s skip ahead a minute to:
B’re’shiyt
1:26
“And Elohim said, Let Us make man in Our image,
after Our likeness:”
Brad Scott says in
B’re’shiyt 1:26 - the body not
included there b/c the body comes from the earth... earth is not created in the
image of YHWH so the body is not in the image of YHWH.
Now just for a bigger picture let’s go to
B’re’shiyt 2:7
“And YHWH Elohiym formed man from the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of the chayim; and man became
a living nephesh.”
Brad goes
on to say ...
“...the very nature of the dry ground is to be dry
and to wither.”
- This
is what is happening in the world... all creation is going to wither away....
And it would of course have already withered away
to nothing....
IF YHWH did not sustain it with His Word.
YHWH
sustains world with HIS WORD -
from the constant entropy
On page 35 in your study guide, Brad gives some
references ...
Y’sh’yahu /Isaiah 40:7 RSTNE p 322 “withers” = yavesh...
hay-yab-bashah = to wither
~~
{We are going to look at some scriptures in the
Psalms...
remember that
Thillot = the entire book of PsalmS
while
Miz’mor = an individual chapter. }
~~
Mizmor 22:15 p 503 “dried up”
“My
strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue cleaves to My jaws;
and You have brought Me into the dust of death.”
Mizmore 102:11
p 532 “withered”
“My
days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like
grass.”
Y’hoshua 2:10
p 167 “dried up”
“For
we have heard how YHWH dried up the mayim of the Sea of Reeds for you,
when you came out of the Mitzrayim; and what you did to the two melechim of the
Amorites, that were on the other side of the Yarden River, Sichon and Og, whom
you utterly destroyed.”
Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 37:11 p 423- dried vs hope (dry bones)
“Then He said to me, Ben-adam, these bones are the
whole of the Beit Yisra’el: see, they
say, Our bones are dried, and our tikvah is lost: we are cut off.”
Isn’t it interesting...
the earth is going to be dried up... and with
dried up earth
= our hope is lost.. dried up as opposed to having
hope.
Man is part of this earth and things earthly
always represent things that are only temporary...
What YHWH is saying is that your priority should
be things that are heavenly and then if your focus becomes the things that are
not temporary - but heavenly -
YHWH
will restore your mind and will change the behavior of your body and the
earthly things.
Brad says that YHWH is constantly desiring that
the things He put in heavenly places - THE WORD - will restore and bring the
new so that eventually the things of
earth and heaven will be ONE.
Yah’s desire is not to separate heaven from earth
but for the focus to be on things of heaven - first HS changes mind and then
changes the body and behavior...
Just like in
Tesloniqyah Alef (1 Thessalonians)
5:23 p 897
“And may the very Elohiym of shalom separate you
completely; so that your whole ruach, nephesh and gooff (body) be preserved
without blemish, until the coming of our Master Y’shua ha Moshiach.”
Brad says that some of us have heard teaching in
the past that says you must separate your spirit from your soul,
and that
may sound good but that is not what scripture teaches.
YHWH’s desire is not to separate your spirit from
your soul, but that they be one. !! :)
YHWH is not only interested in your spirit... so
that he doesn’t care about your mind or your body === THAT IS NOT TRUE!
Brad goes on to say in this B’re’shiyt teaching...
... if you cling to that idea that your spirit is
all that is important
- that
is why our society is morally corrupt...
- b/c
we don’t see ourselves as one person.. guided by YHWH!
*
The last two words in B’re’shiyt 1:9 are words
we’ve already had...
VAY’HIY
= so
KEN =
and it was.
So next time we will advance to
B’re’shiyt 1:10 :)
50:45 in CD 9 - B’re’shiyt 9-10
B’re’shiyt 1:10
*************************************
*****************************************
Now, let’s look at the -
Torah parashah - Mikketz (At the end)
B’re’shiyt (Genesis) 41:1-44:17 RSTNE p 39
Let’s start reading in the previous parashah
Remember that Yoseph (Joseph) is in prison...
Read
B’re’shiyt 40:9 - 41:43 p 38
Now i have known this story since i was a
child... but lately - things occur to me
about this story - i see it in a much
different way...
First the two guys in prison with Joseph =
=the Pharaoh’s bread baker and
= the Pharaoh’s wine taster.
Bread and wine.
hmmm.
When do we first see bread and wine in the
Scripture?
In B’re’shiyt
14:18 p 17
“And
Malki-Tzedek melech of Salem brought out lechem and wine: and he was the kohen of El-Elyon.”
Melchizedek....
the priest hood of the Righteous king and priest....
- Well isn’t that interesting?!!
And when do we see bread and wine with Mashiach?
At the (practice?) Pesach (passover) sader
(meal)...
Mattityahu 26:26-28
p 703
“And as
they were eating, Y’shua took lechem (bread), and made the bracha (blessing),
and broke it, and gave it to the talmidim (disciples), and said, Take, eat;
this is My body.
27 And he took the cup (3rd cup of Sader) and gave
hodu (thanks), and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of it:
28 For this is My dahm (blood) of the Brit
Chadasha (re-newed covenant) that is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
Wow isn’t that amazing!!
Here we are back dealing with the Melchizedek
Priesthood - that which Y’shua restored in the earth = renewed the covenant.
~
Then we get Pharaoh’s dream......
7 fat cows and 7 skinny cows
7 full ears of corn and 7 thin ears or corn
And Joseph interpreted these dreams to mean
7 fat cows and 7 skinny cows =
= B’re’shiyt 41:26...
7 fat cows and 7 tov ears = 7 good years for
growing crops
7 skinny cows and 7 bad ears = 7 years of famine
It’s interesting to note that the 7 good years
happened in Mitzriem.
What does that word mitzriem mean?
= SIN.
Interesting - that while they were living in “SIN”
- there were 7 good years!!
It is also interesting to note that the 7 bad
years - are years of famine.
Famine = a lack of food coupled with an abundance
of need.
Maybe the way the food was distributed during the
famine was the way that people learn
things of EMET (truth) of YHWH!! - some at a time.
The Word talks about a famine coming to the
land...
Ahmos 8:11
p 465
“Behold,
the days come, says the Master YHWH, that I will send a famine in the land, not
a famine of lechem, nor a thirst for mayim, but of hearing the Words of YHWH.”
It is also interesting to me to note that after
Joseph got his position as # 2 in the Kingdom...
....he gets to ride around the kingdom in
Pharaoh’s 2nd chariot!...
so that the people would know him.
This reminds me of Messiah’s ride on a donkey when
the people waved palm branches!!!!
Seems as though we can clearly see Joseph as a
type and shadow of Messiah Y’shua to come!!
~
So... there
is good while living in Mitzriem ...
even though it is living in sin.
But that’s how the tree of the knowledge of tov
and ra really works....
~
While i was studying i read a commentary that said
“we should not expect YHWH to use dreams and visions today!!!”
-As though YHWH used people until the Scripture
was written down and now he doesn’t use
anything but scripture!
May we always hear his clear voice.
amein!!
