33 B’re’shiyt teaching - B’re’shiyt 1:9 cont

******

Amos 8:11 - Harbour Light Ministries


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!!
