34 B’re’shiyt teaching from Brad Scott’s work
B’re’shiyt 1:10
Let’s start with Brad Scott’s B’re’shiyt
teaching...
we have made it to
B’re’shiyt 1:10
p 36 of study guide
“Vay-yiq’ra’ Elohiym lay-yab-basha
‘eretz ul’miq’veh ham-mayim qara’
yammiym vay-yar’ Elohiym kiy-tov.”
“And Elohiym called the dry land
Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas: and Elohiym saw
that it was good.”
**
Review:
Vay-yiq’ra
= And called
Elohiym =
God, powerful one
lay-yab-basha
= Dry land
‘eretz
= earth (1:1)
ul’miq’veh
= gathering together the miq’veh
ham-mayim
= the waters
qara
= to call, to name, to meet, to invite (1:5)
**
The one new word in this verse =
YAMMIYM
root
= YOM = to
roar, to make a loud noise.
(ocean
makes a loud roar)
=
yod mem
Yom
is translated primarily as 2 words:
1.
Sea
2.
West
=
mass of humanity
-the
Mashiach is to come from the mass of humanity
Waters will settle into their
places and fulfill two opposing functions.
The same waters that cleanse or
purify will also destroy.
-
Waters at the “Red Sea”,
i.e. saved the Hebrews but destroyed the Egyptians.
I Corinthians 10:1-2 p 788
“people” = mass of humanity
= YOM
Y’shaYahu (Isaiah) 57:20 p 340
and 60:5
p 342
“mass of humanity”
Hitgalut (Revelation) 13:1 p
919
“And i stood upon the sand
of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns....”
Hitgalut 21:1 p
926
“And i saw a renewed shamayim and a renewed olam; for the
first shamayim an the first olam had passed away; and there was no more sea.”
- fountains of living (moving) waters
The point according to Brad
is....
If you reject the Waters /
the Word = it will destroy you.
If you receive the Waters /
the Word = they will save you.
- The same waters that
saved Isra’el - killed Egyptians.
If you accept Y’shua, He
will redeem you.
If you reject Him, you will
be destroyed.
The REJECTION of the method
of deliverance is what destroys you... not your sins... but the rejection of
the method of deliverance!
Yom is also translated as
west
- and it is very seldom used favorably...
This is the direction of
all religions not of Bible.
Bible is the east (although not asian)
The “west” is christianity and various religions that have
strayed from the Word of YHWH.
As
we know, much of what is taught in them is not of the Word.
B’midbar (Numbers) 34:6 p
135 - Ephraim is the camp of the west
east
to the right - direction Mashiach of Mashiach
=
the ancient of days (Micah 5:2) - came from the east...
The word translated as “Wise men”
- was RABBIs.
They were rabbis that came - not
Zoroastrians....
“Old” and “ancient” = refer to the
EAST.
Acts 7 Grecians were hellenists..
jewish by birth but had greek thinking patterns.
Greek thinking is not about people
from Greece....
when we talk about the West and
Greek thinking - we are talking about a way that is contrary to the
Bible/Torah/ Jerusalem.
The church has strayed from
Jerusalem!
YHWH is drawing his people back to
the EAST - to Jerusalem.
WEST = Yom = translated as SEAS.
“Seas” = generally from this point
forward refers to the mass of humanity who has strayed away from the east,
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 6:16 p 354
“This
says YHWH, Stand in the derech (way or road or path) , and see, and ask for the
old paths, where is the tov (good) derech, and have your walk in it, and you
shall find rest for your beings. But
they said [ those of the west ] , We will not walk in it.”
Brad says...
“That’s the difference between
those who claim to be following the ways of YHWH and those who really are. The one that says i want to go back to your
ways and not what church tradition teaches.
I want to know what the truth is.”
No coincidence that the same word
that is translated as west - is seas.
When the Messiah comes, he comes
from the east.
There is a great gulf between that
which is east and that which is west
and we have to decide what path we
take.
*
review of the rest of the words in
B’re’shiyt 1:10:
vay-yar
= and saw
Elohiym
= God
Kiy Tov
= that it was good
= YHWH saw what He did here was
Tov (good) here...in day 3.
*******************************************************************************************
**************
We haven’t met for awhile... and
so we have missed the last few Torah teachings.
I
hope you are reading/studying.
***
Let’s turn back to last week’s
Parashah...
There’s something I learned from
Matthew Nolan that we can’t miss....
Sh’mot (Exodus) 3:12-14
p 50
12 And he said,
Certainly I will be with and this shall be an OT to you that i have sent
you: When you have brought forth the
people out of MITZRAYIM, you shall serve Elohim upon this mountain.
[ The sign of
following the ONE TRUE ELOHIM is leaving Mitzrayim and keeping Torah!]
13 And MOSHE said to ELOHIMSee when I come to
the children of Yisrael and shall say to them, The ELOHIM of your AHVOT has
sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is His Name?, what shall I
say to them?
14 And the Word of
ELOHIM said to MOSHE, EYEH AHSER EYEH {I
am/will be what I am/will be. CJB} { I
AM = KJ} has sent me to you.
Now let’s go to
Yochanan
(John) 8:58-59 p 764
58 Y’shua said to
them, Amein, Amein, I say to you, before Avraham was I AM. 59
Then they took up stones to cast at Him; but Y’shua hid Himself, and
went out of the Beit HAMIKDASH, going through the midst of them, and so went
away.
Matthew Nolan pointed out that this was YHWH’s signature... “I AM”....
and he says.. “Y’shua signs His name, the name from Sh’mot 3:14
...
... that is why they took up stones from the old altar from the
time of the Maccabbees to stone Him.... He just gave the signature of “HA
SHEM”.
~
Is YHWH’s name really - “ I AM “ .... as many of us were taught?
Like Matthew Nolan - this never made sense to me!!
The Hebrew word there is AEIE or aleph-hey-vav-hey.
Matthew says : The Hebrew
is ANOKHI or ANI
So if that is the case, they why the “EYEH ASHER EYEH” ??
B’re’shiyt
(Genesis) 15:7 p 18 And He said
to him, I AM YHWH that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees.
B’re’shiyt 28:13 p 28 And see, YHWH stood
above it, and said I AM YHWH ELOHIM of AVRAHAM your ABBA.
Shoftim (Judges) 6:10 p 190 And I said to you, I AM YHWH your Elohim; fear not the
Elohim of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but you have not obeyed my
voice.
These verses don’t just say “ANI” ( I AM) - they say “ANI YHWH”
So then the text of Sh’mot
3:14 read:
“ And the Word of Elohim said to Moshe, EH-Yah
Asher Eh-Yah, (He that was YAH is still YAH) and He spoke this to the sons of
Isra’el. This is by the leading of YAH,
the One He is sending forth among you.”
-
The ALEPH HEH-YOD-HEH = the plurality of Divinity...
= The signature of YHWH.
Sh’mot
3:15 p 50 “And Elohim said moreover to Moshe, This
shall you say to the children of Yisrael, YHWH Elohim of your ahvot (fathers),
the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitzchak, and the Elohim of Yaakov has
sent me to you. This is My Name
LE-OLAMVA-ED, and this is My memorial to all generations.”
So it isn’t true that YHWH said his name was “I AM”... what he
said was “I AM YHWH” !!! :)
~~~
Torah - Va’era (I appeared)
Sh’mot (Exodus) 6:2-9:35 p 52
YHWH gives Moshe instructions to go to Pharaoh and
tell him to let the Hebrews go into the desert to worship YHWH.
Pharaoh as we know, denies them... and so the
plagues come.
and our text
says “And the lev (heart) of Pharaoh was hardened.”
Sh’mot 9:7 - and multiple times...
and i always wondered about this being
fair.... Did YHWH just give Pharaoh no
choices?? - as in YAH MADE him be like that??
I did not understand.
But, like so many times... when we go to
Hebrew.... we find out.
Rabbi
Foreman teaches on this - he says there are two Hebrew terms used - two
words each
1. kaph yod bet vav dalet hey lamed bet
This
word means “hardened” or “heavy”
=
Stubbornness = NEGATIVE
2.
chet
yod zayin vav qof hey lamed bet
This
word means strengthen /strong
=
Courage = POSITIVE
Rabbi Foreman goes on to talk about how throughout
this story - one or the other is used
And the courage word - is saying that YHWH is
saying... not i am going to give you courage to defy me... but I am going to give you the courage to see
your vision and your dream and make your own decision.... i will not make you do what i is right and
good...
just like YHWH doesn’t make any of us make the
right decision/s.
So in his teaching Rabbi Foreman invited each of
us to go through the story and figure out when each of these words are used....
When is Pharaoh’s heart being heavy or stubborn and when is Pharaoh’s heart
being strengthened or made strong and of courage?
***********************************************************************************************
Let’s shift gears...
2 Corinthians 5:7
RSTNE p 867
“For
we have our halacha by emunah, not by sight.”
We traditionally know this as:
“ We walk by faith, not by sight.”
So....
This past week... in the
Washington Post - there was an article about a fire in the metro (train) ...
and people stayed on the train that was burning... heat and smoke filling the
cars... one lady died.
They were told to stay on the
train... depending what you read 40 some or 50 some people were taken to the ER
for smoke inhalation etc...Only one died.
Are you kidding me??
They stayed on the BURNING
train... because someone TOLD them to stay on and keep breathing poisonous
fumes.... and so they did!! ?? !!
Talk about blind sheep.
*
I am seeing more and more
blindness around me....
and that said.. part of my job is
to prepare you to LIVE in these days that we are in.
You’ve got to know the
TRUTH...
So i want to show you a video.
Video
discuss.
Some of us have been reading
Thomas Horn... so these things were not so surprising.
While others of us... have had no
idea of these things....
but you need to understand what is
out there and what is coming...
because you MUST be able stand....
and not run after the things of antiMessiah....
and the Word says that many will
be deceived.
We have to have some idea of what
is coming down the pike... so that we are not surprised and that we make the
righteous decisions.
But we always have to go back to:
2 Corinthians 5:7
RSTNE p 867
“For
we have our halacha by emunah, not by sight.”
-“ We walk by faith, not by
sight.”
We have got to know the Word. We have got to know what YHWH says... so that
it is clear to us when things are of him and when they are not.
I show this to you - not to focus on the enemy but i believe we
need to have an idea of what is possible... so we don’t take off following the
junk. Imagine if you never knew they
could make holograms in the sky ....
we’d be like.. oh my... and take a couple steps toward it...
Well we need to know what is
possible....so we don’t take steps toward it...
The Word says...
Romans 14:11 “For it is written,
As i live, says the Master YHWH, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue
shall confess to the Master YHWH.”
Philippians 2:10-11 “That at The
Name of Y’shua every knee should bow, of things in the shamayim, and things on
earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that
Y’shua haMoshiach is The Master YHWH, to the tifereth (glory) of Eloha (God)
His Abba (Father).
Mattityahu (Matthew) 24:
24:11-12 “And many false neviim (prophets) shall rise
and shall deceive many. 12 And because Torah-less-ness shall abound, the ahava
(love) of many shall grow cold.”
24:4-5 “And Y’shua answered and said to them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many
shall come in My Name, saying, I am the Moshiach (Messiah) and shall deceive
many.”
24: 23-24 “Then if any m an says
to you, See here is the Moshiach, or There He is; believe it not. 24 For
there shall arise false Moshiachs (Messiahs), and false neviim (prophets) and
shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it became possible, they
shall deceive the very elect and chosen.”
We can not be blind sheep.
We are at a threshold of
opportunity... we can put it off and wait and “study later”... or we can dig in now and learn His
Word....
Just like no runner who won - ever
said - “I paid too much to be here”....
I promise you... you will never say... “I studied the Word too
much!” !!
I sure don’t want the time to come
... perhaps even things we watched in this video today... and us be
saying... “I should have studied more.”
We MUST be in the WORD so we know
the Truth so we can be FREE.
AMEIN.
