B’re’shiyt 1:16
“Vay-ya’as Elohiym
‘et-sh’ney ham-me’orot
hag-ge’doliym ‘et-ham-ma’or haggadol le’meme’shelet hay-yom
ve’et ham-ma’or haq-qaton
le’meme’shelet hal-laye’lah ve’et
hak-kokaviym.”
“And YHWH made two great
lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the
night: he made the stars (cochavim) also.”
In RSTNE:
“And Elohiym made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the yom(day), and the lesser light to rule the night:
therefor namely the cochavim(stars).”
Review from last week
:
HAGGE’DOLIYM
ha= the
GE’DOLIYM = the great
root - GADOL - to increase or expand
to be great, magnify, high
translated in Scripture = to be great,
to maginfiy, to be high.
Lamimshalet -
root =
mashal = to rule or reign or have dominion, power over something
we are going to see
when we read about the lights we are going to read that these are to RULE over
the day and the night
HOWEVER:
Remember YHWH said
they are to rule...but we are not to worship them!
New word today -
haq-qaton
root = qatan = the small
light , smaller - to rule the night... “small or
less or younger, little, less importance, to decrease.”
Yocahanan HaMatBeal said “He must
increase and i must decrease”
....giving degrees of
importance
D’varim 4:19 p 141 -These
lights are to rule over the day and the night but we are not to serve these.
~
YHWH has created the
mazaroth - the things in sky/space
to commuicate to us - through the sun moon and stars
and man has perverted and changed how these things are interpreted - using the same constalations... the 12 that make up the same months
of the year etc.
The Mazaroth has
Godly purposes -that is why YHWH created them.
Man and hasatan take these same things and twist
them and pervert them into man’s own ways
and the natural
reaction of many believers - is to have nothing to do with the constalations
with the stars etc... b/c of the false... the mess.
BUT - the false
always speaks of the true
WE have to know this....
THE FALSE ALWAYS
SPEAKS OF THE TRUE!!
Brad said - “It would
be no more rational.. to conclude that there is no Mashiach b/c of the false or
anti- mashich, ....
....or to conclude
that there are no brethern simply b/c there are false bretheren...
We can’t turn
way from YHWH’s creations... just b/c
there are false, twisted things about them now.
Scripture always
teaches discernment.... it doesn’t teach
you to just throw things out - it teaches you to discern between what is true
and what is not true....
The very nature of
hasatan is that he immitates all that YHWH does...
so we have a
commandment that even though we have the sun and moon etc and they are
communicating the signs and seasons...
....you are not to
worship them.
New Word:
HAK-KOKAVIYM = the
stars
Root - “Cochav” - only translated as “star/s”
In this verse this
word is added - sort of a - “and by the
way” statement...
Stars are part of
this whole system that rules the day and the night...
there is some light given
off by stars...
Brad writes on page
49 in your study guide
“The sun and moon are expressly
detailed... in that these two important
luminaries are directly connected to physical life.
The stars are of
lesser importance, but still play a role in the signs and seasons and
rule. Stars are particularly seen as
messengers and all three are a witness.
They show us spiritual information and are by no coincidence particualry seen as
messengers...
cochavim or
hak-kokaviym - stars are synaomous with angels/ messengers...
- That is what is in
the heavens = a messeage to to mankind...
The 12 constalations
The names are ancient
The whole idea of astrolgy - is messed
up = a perverson of YHWH’s plan...
....in order to take
man’s focus off Mashiach and refocus on to perversion...
There’s always just
enough pervsion to draw us off...
Remember - the
definition of “wicked” = to be wicked = lies twisted with enough truth to seem
believeable.
In B’re’shiyt stars
represent people = Abraham’s children
Mizmore (Psalm)
19:-1-6 p 502
= another reiteration of the fact that
YHWH has put a means to communicating to man... in the heavens themselves
Mizmore (Psalm)
89:36-37 p 528
His zera shall endure
le-olam-va-ed (forever), and his kesay (thrown) as the shemesh (sun) before
Me. 37 It shall be established
le-olam-va-ed as the yarayach (moon), and as a faithful witness in the shamayim
(heavens). Selah.
Mizmore 8:3 p 498
-consider the heavens...
Mizmore 136:9 p 545
Iov (Job) 9:7-9 p 570
-naming some constelations
- The question is not whether they
exist but rather - how do we view them.. from YHWH’s point of view or from
hasatan’s....
It’s about discerning
the message that YHWH has placed in the heavens from a false message = the life
of a believer all the time.
we have to discern
the difference
Job 38:4-7 p 528
Ahmos 5:8 p 464
The Brit Chadashah:
Hitgalut (Revelation)
1:20 p 911
The immage of Messiah having 7 stars
in his right hand...
and what they
represent = the angels or messengers of the 7 churches... Our RSTNE says... the
seven “teaching overseers of the seven Yisralite congregations.”
Brad says... “Now
remember the whole idea of the signs and seasons is that they communicate a
message through them and it’s no coincedence that angels is Malach = a
messenger - so sometimes it does mean those entities created by Yah that
interact on behalf of man (some of which have fallen). - An angel / messenger... and people are also messengers.”
Stars are seen as
messengers = this is what makes up the the MAZOROTH
Brad says.... “YHWH wrote His plan in the stars and
paganism perverted it.
( Janet - Paganism perverted the INFORMATION.
It did not
pervert the stars or YHWH’s plan - only
man’s understanding of it!!!)...
Rather than
eliminate the mazoroth - the things in
the sky --
.....b/c you can’t
eliminate the stars and sun and moon etc,
-
-
hasatan is
changing the INFORMATION!
-
There are now
false feasts.... false dates... saying that is about “GOD”... but YHWH did
not tell them to do it like that!!!
-
amein!
D’varim
(Deuteronomy) 12:28-32 p 148
- Don’t be snared by
following pagans and don’t follow after their gods - even looking at the ways
they serve their gods.
D’varim 18 p 152- exapands on this same commandment...
= Don’t serve me the way they serve them...
don’t take those pagan things and say that is ME you are serving!!!
Do not learn to do after the
abominations of those nations....
times, and fires, etc...
in D’varim 18:14 p 152 YHWH has not permitted you to partake of the
perversion...
We are not to serve
YHWH the way the nations serve their gods.
and what they do is
perversion!!
AMEIN!!

Torah Parashah
-Haftarah - Schmuel Bet (2
Samuel) 22:1-51 p 244
Who is YHWH - my
Elohiym - “MY GOD” ??
22:2-4 p 244
“YHWH is y Rock, and
my Fortress and my Deliverer: The
Elohiym of my Rock in Him will I trust.
He is my shield and the horn of my Yahushaua, my Hight Tower, and my
Refuge, my Savior; You saved me from
violence. I will call on YHWH who is
worthy to be praised so that I be saved fro my enemies.”
~
This week - during
one the my car rides to work... i turned on Christian radio.
You must know i
haven’t listened to christian radio in - well probably at least a year.
And i have to tell
you - I was shocked.
I had just read our
Haftarah reading of Schmuel Bet the night before.
So i had just read a very clear description of
why “Our God” is... and in vs 22-23 what
i am to do.
The christian music i
heard talked of being in a desperate place and needing “god’s” help.
One song even said..
“I know you can get me out of the mess i am in.”
But over and over -
it was - “I am desperate - i need help - so come and fix it b/c only YOU can
fix it.” !!
Several things
occured to me....
1. the desperation
... song after song... for 45 minutes - they were all the same!... desperate
and
2.
HOPELESS....
There was nothing “i” could do - but GOD had to do it all.... and i can’t figure out why he didn’t do it
already.
3.
the LACK of understanding of who YHWH is and
who we are called to be and how we are called to live!!!
I felt so sorry for
them!!
Over and over in
chrisitanity i have heard messages about “being”... you know... just BE...
because - we all know “IT ISN’T ABOUT WORKS”.
OH REALLY?? REALLY??
One of the things i
thought of as i listened to the girl belt out
something about knowing that God could get her out of the mess she was
in, bur frankly she was wondering about why He hadn’t done it yet....
was the idea of KADOSH.
Sh’mot (Exodus)
19:6 p 62
“And you shall be to Me a malchut of
Kohanim and a kadosh nation. There are
the words that you shall speak to the children of Yisra’el.”
Wayiqra
(Leviticus) 10:8-11 p 87
Kepha Aleph
(first Peter) 2:9 p 824
“But you are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a kadosh nation, and a peculiar people that you shoud show
forth the tehillot (prayers) of Him who has called out you of darkness into His
marveloous Light.”
And we could go on...
there are many verses that talk about Kadosh / HOLY....
But the point is -
when the Word is talking about Kadosh - it is telling us how to BE holy....
and i can’t BE holy
unless i DO the things i need to do that keep me holy.
Oh but wait...
Qorintyah Bet (2
Corinthians) 2:18 p 866
“But we all, with an open face seeing
ourselves in a mirror see the tifereth (glory) of the Master YHWH and are
changed into the same likeness from tifereth to tifereth, even by the Ruach of
the Master YHWH.”
Well, that sounds
like - HE - the Ruach HaKodehs - He just does it....
Yes, HE does it....
but let’s back up and
read more than just the “pick one verse and pull it out method”....
Qorintyah Bet 3:11- 4:6 p 866
Yeshayahu
(Isaiah) 40:25 p 323
“To whom then will
you like Me, or to whom shall I be equal? says the Kadosh-One.”
= kadosh is being beyond comparison
Mizmore (Psalm
99:3 p 531
“Let them hallel Your
great and awesoe Name; for it is kadosh.”
= kadosh is awesome
= kadosh is fervent
Yeshayah
(Isaiah) 5:16 p 297
“But YHWH
tzevoathshall be exalted in mishpat, and El that is kadosh shall be kadosh in
tzedakah.”
= kadosh is righteous
B’midbar
(Numbers) 16:7 p 120
“And put fire in
them, and put incnese in them before YHWH tomorrow: and it shall be that the
man whom YHWH does choose, he shall be kadosh: you take too much upon you, you
sons of Lewi.”
Kepha Aleph (1
Peter) 1:13-25 p 824
Yaakov (James)
1:13-27 p 810
.... so what do you
DO?
because what you do -
creates what / how you BE.
If i know to keep his
instructions and choose chayim.... then
i have more HOPE than i just have saying.. “ i know you can get me out of this
mess i am in.”
Coming up in Torah
parashah - we are about to talk about sacrfice by fire and also about what
foods to eat....
and what we are going
to find out is clearly - what i put into my body has a direct relationship to
how i live and who i “BE”.
So how will you be??
because it comes out
of WHAT YOU DO.
not that we are saved
by works - because we are not - with the exception of Y’shua’s “work” - his
death on the tree and resurrection...
the death by the LAMP
who promised.....
But I don’t get in
shape unless I run.
I don’t become more
flexible if I am not doing stretching.
I don’t become kadosh
unless I am doing things that lead to holiness.
What do you need to
do differently??
