Our 37th B’re’shiyt teaching from Bradley Scott

B’re’shiyt 1:11
“vay-yo’mer Elohiym tad’she‘   ha’arets deshe’ ‘esav maz’riy’a zera’  ‘etz p’riy ‘oseh p’riy l’miyno  ‘asher zar’  o-vo  ‘al-ha’aretz vay’hiy ken.”


RSTNE = “And Elohiym said, Let the earth bring out grass, the herb yielding zera and the fruit eytz yielding fruit after its kind, whose zera is in itself, upon the earth; and it was so.”

VAY-YO’MER = and said

ELOHIYM = God/ YHWH

TAD’SHE’ or TADESHE - (toddashay) = Let bring forth,
based on Hebrew root = dasha’ = to sprout, to increase, bring forth, grass

HA’ARETS = the earth

DESHE’ = same word/ repeat of “TADESHE” - says it twice

ESEV = literally translated as herb or grass.
It is not translated as any other meaning in Scriptures.
Again - this is repetition of the earth springing forth vegetation....
so really YHWH is saying it a 3rd time!

MAZ’RIY’A ZERA = Yielding seed (ZERA = seed)

Zera = SEED, seeding, to sow


***
today we are on

p 38 in study guide

‘ETZ
          aiyn - tzadi
= tree, wood, staff

Notice that Brad writes on the bottom of page 38 -
“This is the first mention of “TREE”.
This first mention places emphasis on producing after itself
-This sets up background to the TWO trees... and their relevance to our daily lives and to eternal life
          (discussed when we get to B’re’shiyt chapter 3)

But see here that trees, like other vegetation - have seed that produces fruit of like kind --
-     a peach tree produces a peach tree
-     and acorn produces an oak tree
-     apple tree produces an apple tree.

The root, or the background of the fruit is the TREE.

We will discuss in detail how seeds - leads to the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

When the fall occurs in the gan eden  - there is no further mention of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ...

and Brad says - we will explain what that means when we get there.

~~~~~~
NEXT WORD:

p 39 in study guide

P’RIY = fruit
          pey- resh - hey

root = parah = to be fruitful, to produce, and
 literally it means = to be free

fruit bursting forth - flowers from a tree, buds from Aharon’s rod, not just oranges and apples but for something to produce a flowery expression.

It is also compared to   -- the works of man.

The “producing”  - the obedience to YHWH’s Word = is liberty

Mizmor/Psalm 119: 44-45 p 540 states that - to obey him is to walk in liberty
          “So shall I keep your Torah continually le-olam-va-ed.  45 And I will walk in liberty: for I see Your precepts.”

The reaction of the earth to YHWH’s word, is not only related to flourishing reproduction, but to poetic repetition in order to focus in on the nature of each one of these things that YHWH has called into being.

The evidence that the tree brings forth shows that it is a tree.

The evidence that the apple brings is that it is an apple tree
It is the evidence of what is inside...

We always say that... “God knows my heart...”

And, yes, it is true that he does, BUT  when he looks inside of us - He is supposed to see the Ark of the Covenant - the Word of YHWH placed in us

and He also knows that if the Ark of the Covenant - the Word of YHWH is in us....

.....then there should be fruit that is produced on the outside, that is the nature of what is in you.

This is one of the reasons why when you have the occurrence of the 12 tribes of Isra’el before Moshe - the one that is going to lead and be the high priest... remember they all
put down their rods and the one that budded, the one that produced fruit, stood out above all the rest and was chosen to be high priest
and this is b/c it produced evidence that the Word was truly in this one b/c it budded and produced.

Scripture:
Romans 6:20-22 p 842
          “For when you were the avadim of sin, you were free from tzedakah. 21 But now being made free from sin, having become avadim to YHWH, you have your fruit to set-apartness, with the end result being everlasting chayim.”

Brad says... the whole idea of being under the law = sin has dominion over you and you produce the fruit that is death b/c you don’t obey the Word, but when no longer under law and drawn in by Yah’s grace, now you can be a servant under righteousness (vs 18 - free from sin,you have become the servants of tzadok)... you will now reproduce the fruit of righteousness b/c that seed is in you.


Galatians 5:22 p 881 (Note there is a typo in study guide on page 39...Galatians 15:22 should read 5:22.)
Galatians 5:22-23  p 881“But the fruit of the Ruach Hakodesh is ahava, simcha, shalom, patience, chesed, rachamim, trustworthiness, 23 Gentleness, self -control: there is no true Torah that is against this kind of tov fruit.”


Ephesians 5:9-11 p 886
          “For the fruits of Light are found in chesed and tzedakah and emet: 10 Learn to discern what is acceptable to YHWH.  11 And have no chavurah with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, bur rather  condemn them.”

Let’s talk about fruit of spirit, a bit

What determines what is good, righteous and truth?? - only the Word of YHWH.    Have no chavurah with the unfruitful deeds of darkness,
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works / that which produces death = Ephesians 5:11

Philippians 1:11 p 889
          “Being filled with the fruits of tzedakah, which are by Y’shua ha Moshiach, to the tifereth and tehilla of YHWH”

If we truly have that seed of Yah then the fruit you produce is tzadok

Yochanan (John) 8:30-33 p 763
Y’shua said...Remain in my Word...know truth and truth will make you free....

Parable of Sower we discussed before =
Mattityahu 13:18-23


Ya’aqov 5: 18  p 813- (prayer of Elijah)
“And he made tefillah again, and the shamayim gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.”


One of the things i want to highlight here --

In order for something to grow you have to have three things other than the seed in the ground...

1.    light - which we know IS the WORD
2.   water - which is also a reference to the WORD and more specifically - cleansing of the Word
3.   Good soil - that is you my friend, the kind of soil you prepare for that Word determines wether it falls away or gets choked out or grows and produces 30,60, 100 fold.

the pictographic meaning of this word - pey-resh-yod = “p’riy”

pey = mouth
resh = head of
yod = hand

....So that is why, in Hebrew thinking, - your fruit is the things you say and the things you do.

and what you say and what you do depends on what is in your heart,

and what is the head of your heart.  Who is your head??


- Fruit is what you say and what you do and that is determined by what is in your heart


NEXT WORD:

‘OSEH

= cognate of ‘asah (of verse 7) which means to do or to make, to prepare, to fulfill....


we are talking about the earth bringing forth grass and fruit and the fruit tree yielding .
and God made the heavens and the earth
= to prepare fruit after it’s kind.
~~
Next time we will start with the world “l’miyno”.

*************************************************

Last week instead of studying Parashah Terumah we watched Matthew Nolan’s teaching on Purim. 
And NOPE - we are NOT celebrating Purim.
:)

I’d like to talk a bit about Terumah for a bit before we go to today’s Parashah...

Terumah: A pattern of indwelling – from the inside out – don’t just replicate outward behavior. Follow the pattern –– obey inside first before outside obedience! The key to spiritual growth from the inside out.
The key of this is - is Y’shua in charge of your life?

The Temple of YHWH = our bodies, its construction and furniture are of utmost importance:
50 chapters talk about  the tabernacle,
the book of Hebrews/Ivrim  contains 303 verses, 131  of those verses reference the Tabernacle/ temple service.
As do: 13 chapters in Shemot, 18 in Vayikra, 13 in Bamidbar, 2 in Devarim, 4 in Ivrim.
Yochanon/John is summary of the tabernacle, Gilyahna/Revelation  is symbolism of the tabernacle.
According to Matthew Nolan:
Mishkan - the Temple = an Electro magnetic frequency conductor.
In the Temple ...
Priests wore linen and were barefoot -s o they were grounded.
Arc levitated.
          Touch it = incinerated (cart from the Philistines). Aharon’s   sons – Nadav and Avihu.
Linen: At the electronic cellular level, flax cells are highly complementary with human cells
Linen – 5,000 signature frequencies.
Cotton – 40 units of energy.
Organic unbleached cotton – 100 units of energy – “normal” but not healing
Silk  – 10 units of energy fails to support health in the human body.  Silk is produced from an ‘unclean’ insect.
Rayon – 15 signature frequency.
Polyester, acrylic, spandex, lycra, viscose and nylon measure = zero and do not reflect light.
Pure wool -5000 units of energy.
(Why do you think pure wool - Smart Wool sox are so expensive?!!)
The Biblical warning of wearing wool and linen together --is proven in scientific studies.
          The energy of these two fabrics put together (wool sweater on top of a linen outfit) collapsed the electrical field as well as wearing of black colored fabric.
          The two textiles measure 5,000 signature frequencies,
          When put together, they cancelled each other and brought     measurable weakness and in some tests even pain to the human         body.
You’ll  fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up in a better mood after sleeping in linen.  
bed-ridden patients do not develop bedsores where linen bed sheets are used. 
-Linen is highly “hydroscopic” meaning it rapidly absorbs and gives up moisture.
 A linen cloth can absorb as much as 20% of its dry weight.
Gold and silver:
          silver - represents the natural, bodily sphere,
                   -the priestly “cells” on the sides of the temple
-   -The Mystical Temple of the Body is perfect, it can potentially continually restore it’s DNA through Yeshua’s power in the silver sphere ( he has power to heal all diseases).
~~~~~~~~
          gold - the spiritual, enlightened sphere,
-   the interior of the Holy of Holies and the Holy place and the porch... made with gold plating.
-   The secret of white powdered gold and the heavenly manna:
-   White powdered gold which when seen up close is transparent–like the gold described in the Bible as making up the streets in heaven.
                   - This gold is mono-tonic (with molecules in a high spin state),                 and looks like baking flour.
                   -It greatly enhances the pineal gland, and a similar substance                    of iridium greatly enhances the pituitary gland.
                   -Regular yellow gold or gold salts will cause the hair of the             subject to fall out, but white gold is safe to ingest.
                   After ingesting the white gold for over 9 months, a subject will become extremely visionary and in combination with fasting the body will be placed in an alkaline disease free state.
                    The person’s body will also glow,
                   -white gold is the elixir of life that the sho-bread (& manna) was              made from.
                   This is the reason the Priest glowed when he came out of the Holy of Holies, after eating the sho-bread and why Moshe Rabainu glowed when he descended the mountain.
          -White gold and iridium help the body become a semi-conductor so that the body is highly enlightened.
          -This is the Spiritual realm... and represents that Y’sua has power to cancel all our sins
          -We really are the Mystical Temple or Body and  “all power” to heal and forgiveness is ours to appropriate through the Head, Yeshua.
~~
          Bronze - The furniture outside is made of bronze, relating to us judging our own walk and actions.
~~
Mattityahu 23:26 p 698
          “You blind Prush, cleanse first that which is inside the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.”
Matthew has extensive teaching on Torah To The Tribes if you are interested.

THE POINT BEING...
YHWH dwelled with His people... Adam walked with him, Avraham spoke with him... etc,
and then  after the golden calf and the Book of the Covenant was broken..... Priesthood went from Melchizedek
to Levitical and Book of the Law  and went to a temple of stone and metal, and with Y’shua returning the Melchizedek Priesthood....and the TEMPLE  is back to being our bodies.... 
****
Torah Parashah Tetzaveh ~ (You Shall Command)

Sh’mot (Exodus) 27:20 - 30:10

- Starts with the command to provide pure olive oil for the “everlasting flame” of the menorah and gives directions for the priestly garments and priestly duties.

-     Notice in Sh’mot 28:6- 12 - about putting names of tribes on two stones and the stones going on the shoulders of the priest....
So the priest carried the burden of the 12 tribes on his shoulders. 

and the breastplate - he wears the 12 Tribes over or close to his heart.

12 STONES OF THE BREAST PLATE OF A COHEN HAGADOL

 RUBY -  tribe of Ruven = submission to YHWH  / opposite (what hasatan does) is rebellion
TOPAZ - tribe of Simion = pure  / opposite is unclean
BERRYL - tribe of Levi = to give light  / opposite is ignorance or darkness
TURQUOISE  - tribe of Judah = court of YHWH / opposite is lawlessness and no distinction.... Torah is a book of distinctions - tamai / tahor
SAPPHIRE - tribe of Dan = elders standing on sapphire for the covenant meal... represents the Book of YHWH - the Holy Scriptures / opposite  “just have them read from John through parts of the B’rit Chadashah
EMERALD - tribe of Naphtali = to heal  / opposite is Eboli, disease, sickness
CHRYSOLITE - tribe of Zebulon = reverence to YHWH  / opposite profane, common
ONYX - tribe of Joseph = zeal for YHWH - to be a zealot / opposite is indifference
JASPER - tribe of Benjamin = YHWH’s strength  / opposite is to rely on my own strength
  JASSENTH - tribe of Gad = Name of YHWH and his authority / opposite is division over His name and not using it
  AGGATE - tribe of Asher = shuv - to return to YHWH  /opposite - the fallen angels/demons can not teshuvah. - false religious system
  AMETHYST  - tribe of Issacar = joined to YHWH in Melchizadak Covenant / Opposite = hilel no longer joined to Yah

How do we join YHWH ?
= ONLY - through the Melchizadak Covenant through Y’shua’s blood.


Alef Kefa 2:9  p 824
          “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a kadosh nation, and a peculiar people; that you should show forth the tehillot of Him who has called you out of the darkness into His marvelous Light.”

****************

We can simplify - these two parashahs.... and say...

Terumah is about the Temple - which is about us...

And the Priestly garments  of Parashah Tetzaveh  --are about His followers and the priest also represents Y’shua.

I Corinthians 6:19 p 855
          “Do you not know that your body is the Beit HaMikdash of the Ruach Hakodesh wHich is in you, which you have from YHWH and you are not your own.”

And to use last week’s B’re’shiyt teaching on SEED....
If you have the Seed of YHWH within  you - You have it because you have done teshuva and you walking with Y’shua.

In order to live as HE calls us to live....  we follow Him.
We read His Word and we worship Him....
Our bodies are His temple...
AND
we are called to be a royal army.. Priests unto Him.

May our lives bring Him honor and may we learn how to fight.

WE worship... this is how we fight.

We have got to be lined up with His Word... not just understand what it truly says... but live it... and a key to living it is thinking the way we need to...

This week in my time with YHWH ... i was singing... and this is what came....

~~~****~~~~****~~~~~******~~~~~~********

“Your Word says that we will never be forsaken
          .....that YOU will never leave...

and the storms of life - they get so big...  and fear closes in... 

When i feel forsaken... i choose to look at YOU.

When i’m alone and worried... I choose to worship you.

And when i can’t find hope ... I choose to sing to you.

This is how i fight... 
This is how i live... 
This is how YOU makes me whole. 
Oh Abba make me whole.

When i feel forsaken... I choose to look at YOU.
When i am a lone and worried... and feel like giving up... I choose to worship you.

And when i can’t find hope...

I choose to fight...
                   I choose to sing...
                             ... I choose to sing...
                                                          ... to YOU.”
