Please allow me the opportunity to inform you that I am NOT a Jew, proclaiming Judaism, nor am I a Christian promoting Christianity. I also do not represent any “sect”, “cult” or any religious group!

 

I do NOT promote any denomination either.

 

I am a Hebrew believer in covenant relationship with my Father and First Love – YAHUAH!

 

Abraham in whom ALL the NATIONS of this world are blessed (Gen 18:18) was a [Hebrew]. Scripture refer to him as the father of many nations (Gen 17:4-5)!

So, we are ALL descendants of him – a Hebrew.

 

Yoseph (Joseph) was a [Hebrew], thus His Father Ya’aqob (Jacob) was a [Hebrew], and thus all 12 of Ya’aqob sons were [Hebrews] – thus the 12 tribes of Yisra’el are [Hebrews].

Bereshith (Genesis) 41:12a “And there was with us a [Heḇrew] youth (Yoseph), a servant of the captain of the guard…

 

Mosheh (Moses) through whom Almighty Yahuah (YHUH) gave His blueprint (His instructions and commands, referred to as Torah) was a [Hebrew].

Shemoth (Exodus) 2:6 and opened it and saw the child (Mosheh/Moses), and see, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the children of the [Heḇrews].”

 

Yonah (Jonah) was a [Hebrew].

Yonah 1:9 And he said to them, “I am a [Heḇrew]. And I am fearing יהוה (Yahuah), the Elohim of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”

 

In ALL the verses below, we read that ELohim (Almighty) was the Almighty of the [Hebrews].

Shemoth (Exo) 3:18 “And they shall listen to your voice. And you shall come, you and the [elders of Yisra’ĕl], to the sovereign of Mitsrayim, and you shall say to him, ‘יהוה Yahuah [Elohim of the Heḇrews] has met with us. And now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness to slaughter to יהוה (Yahuah) our Elohim.’

Shemoth (Exo) 5:3 And they said, “The [Elohim of the Heḇrews] has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness and slaughter to יהוה (Yahuah) our Elohim, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.”

Shemoth (Exo) 7:16 “And you shall say to him, ‘יהוה (Yahuah) the [Elohim of the Heḇrews] has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, so that they serve Me in the wilderness,” but see, until now you have not listened!

See also Exo 9:1; Exo 9:13; Exo 10:3

 

Sha’ul (Paul) speaking about the chief emissaries (apostles), who were all [Hebrews], confirming that he too was a [Hebrew].

2Cor 11:5 For I reckon that I am not inferior to the most eminent emissaries.

2Cor 11:22 Are they [Heḇrews]? So am I. Are they of [Yisra’ĕl]? So am I. Are they the seed of Aḇraham (who was a Hebrew)? So am I.

 

I graduated from Bible School, obtained my degree and was ordained as a pastor, but RESIGNED and NO LONGER serve with any titles. Instead, I serve my Master and First Love with humility and obedience!

 

I am merely a WITNESS of my Father’s truth, witnessing His Word to everyone who is OPEN to hear it and TEST it with Scripture!

Many false teachers and preachers of Scripture call everyone who follows the Word of Almighty YHUH a "sect." This has caused a lot of confusion and division in many families, which has led to violence, abuse, and even divorce. These preachers and teachers love to quote portions of Scripture out of context to back up their own ideas, beliefs, and theories.

We must ONLY follow Scripture and NOT the self-righteous teachings of people who twist Scripture to support their own beliefs, traditions, and ideas or those of their "churches." In line with the Word, we need two to three witnesses from Scripture to prove every case, not just one. (Deut 19:15; Mat 18:16; 2Cor 13:1; Heb 10:28).

We must make sure that whatever is mentioned is in line with what the Scriptures teach from beginning to end if we want to quote and witness Scripture ACCURATELY! The Almighty's (Elohim) Word does NOT contradict itself and stays CONSISTENT from beginning to end.

PLEASE NOTE that I quote all Scriptures from a RESTORED TRANSLATION (ISR)!

Yahuah (YHUH) – Name of the Almighty;

Yahusha – Scriptural Name of Messiah;

ELohim – Almighty or Mighty One. 

 

Psa 105:8 He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations.

 

Psa 119:89 Forever, O YHUH, Your word stands firm in the heavens.

 

Psa 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, And all Your righteous right-rulings are forever.

 

Psa 89:34 “I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has gone out from My lips”.

 

Mal 3:6a “For I am YHUH, I shall not change” 

 

Isa 55:11 so is My Word that goes forth from My mouth - it does not return to Me empty, but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for.

 

Isa 40:8 “Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade, but the Word of our ELohim stands forever”.

 

1Pe 1:25 but the Word of ELohim remains forever. And this is the Word, announced as Good News to you.

 

Ecc 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear ELohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For ELohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.

 

From the above Scriptures, we CLEARLY see that the Word of ELohim (Almighty) is forever -- what He said in the First Covenant (Old Testament), He CONFIRMED in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament)!

 

His Teachings, Instructions and Commands NEVER CHANGED! It was RENEWED through Messiah and by the outpouring of the Set Apart Spirit of Yahuah, writing His Word on our HEARTS!

 

ELohim’s Word is CONSISTENT throughout Scripture, from beginning to end! No TRUE BELIEVER can separate the First from the Renewed COVENANT – SCRIPTURE is ONE BOOK, with ONE MESSAGE! The same Word that applied to Adam and Abraham and their generations, apply to all humanity today – without exception!

EVERLASTING COVENANT with Noah and every living creature of all flesh

SIGN of this COVENANT – RAINBOW

Gen 9:16 “And the [rainbow] shall be in the cloud, and I shall see it, to remember the [everlasting covenant] between Elohim and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

 

Does Yahuah uphold this covenant to this day?

YES He does!

 

EVERLASTING COVENANT with Abraham and his seed after him in their GENERATIONS, including Yitshaq (Isaac)

SIGN of this COVENANT – CIRCUMCISION of the foreskin

Gen 17:7 “And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations, for an [everlasting covenant], to be Elohim to you and your [seed after you]”. Gen 17:10 “This is My covenant which you [guard] between Me and you, and your [seed after you]: Every [male] child among you is to [be circumcised].

Gen 17:11 “And you shall circumcise the [flesh of your foreskin], and it shall become a [sign of the covenant] between Me and you.

Gen 17:13 “He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your silver, has to [be circumcised]. So shall My covenant be in [your flesh], for an [everlasting covenant].

Gen 17:14 “And an uncircumcised male child, who is [not circumcised] in the [flesh of his foreskin], his life shall be [cut off] from his people – he has [broken My covenant].”

Gen 17:19 And Elohim said, “o, Sarah your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name its a (Isaac). And I shall [establish My covenant] with him for an [everlasting covenant], and with his [seed after] him”.

 

Does this COVENANT still apply today?

YES it does!

 

EVERLASTING COVENANT with Yisra’el (including BOTH Jew and Gentile – all who believe in Yahusha Messiah and guard Yahuah’s commands).

SIGN of this COVENANT – OBSERVE ELohim’s (Almighty’s) Sabbath(s) or Appointed Times

Exod 31:16 ‘And the [children of isra’ĕl] shall [guard the Sabbath], to observe the Sabbath [throughout their generations] as an [everlasting covenant].

 

HAS THIS COVENANT ever FALLEN AWAY?

NO, CERTAINLY NOT!

 

The Ten Commandments (Covenant Words) of Father YHUH and the Root Language (ancient Hebrew) of Scripture (for proper context and understanding).

 

The Ten Commandments symbolize our MARRIAGE VOWS with YHUH – it’s for all believers who desire to be IN COVENANT with Ab (Father) YHUH.

1st Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:6-7

I am YHUH your Elohim (Almighty) who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt), out of the house of bondage (slavery). You have no other mighty ones (gods) against My face.

 

The 1st Letter of the HEBREW language (first and AUTHENTIC language of Scripture) is the letter “EL” (Ancient Hebrew) that became the “ALEF or ALEPH”.

 

Each letter in the Hebrew Language has significant meaning, enabling us to UNDERSTAND Scriptures from the heart of Ab [Father] Yahuah, giving us REVELATION [KNOWLEDGE] of Scripture!

 

The Letter ALEF (Aleph) means OX, symbolizing STRENGTH & LEADERSHIP

Its meaning is related to the words for “tame” & “leading”!

 

Other Hebrew words that show the letter, symbolizes what is STRONG, what is FIRST, or what is MOST IMPORTANT.

 

Let’s ponder for a moment what the Letter [Alef] and the 1st Commandment (Covenant Word) of Ab YHUH have in common . . .

Our STRONG One (Ab YHUH brought us out of the house of slavery)!

He is FIRST (He existed before all things) and desires the FIRST place (priority) in our lives!

He should be the most IMPORTANT part of our lives! He wants us to SERVE/WORSHIP Him alone and have NO OTHER “gods” before His face!

 

Yahuah (YHUH) commands us to NOT have any other mighty ones (gods) before His face, but sadly many Believers UNknowingly serve other mighty ones through IDOL WORSHIP. The Scribes/Translators (Jer 8:8) changed the authentic Hebrew Scriptures to modernized western translations, corrupting Scripture in the translation process. They erased the  AUTHENTIC NAMES of Father and Son from Scripture and replaced them with titles (god and lord) associated with all [pagan] deities (gods)!

2nd Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:8-10

‘You do not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness of which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHUH your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.

 

The 2nd Letter of the ANCIENT HEBREW Language (authentic and first language of Scripture) is the Letter “BET” (Ancient Hebrew) or “Beyt” (Modern Hebrew)!

 

The Letter Bet means “TENT”, “HOUSE” and “FAMILY”!

It symbolizes Almighty YaHUaH’s “family” (SET-APART PEOPLE) living in His “house”, guarding His house-rules! He is the HEAD and LEADER of His house!

 

What does the second commandment and the second letter of Hebrew have in COMMON? The covenant family of Ab (Father) Yahuah (YHUH) will OBEY His house rules as part of His family and NOT make or have any carved images, NOR serve any other mighty ones (gods) or idols!

 

Only those who GUARD and OBSERVE the “house rules” (Torah) of Ab YaHUaH are part of His “covenant” family, enjoying the safety, security and all the blessings of His house!

 

Debarim (Deut) 28:9

“YHUH does establish you as a set-apart people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, IF YOU GUARD the commands of YHUH your Elohim and walk in His ways.

 

The second Command of YaHUaH deals with idolatry! He WARNS us to NOT have any carved images or other [gods] before Him and NOT to bow down to them and serve them, LEST He visits the crookedness of the fathers UPON THEIR CHILDREN!

 

Do we see carved images of “exalted man” and “beast” in the world today? Do we see how people bow down to them, revere them and even serve them? This is IDOLATRY, BREAKING the second Commandment! It has severe consequences for us, but MORE IMPORTANTLY for OUR CHILDREN! Do we want our children to suffer for our choices? Well, they do according to Scripture!

 

Fathers (as the heads of their homes) have an IMPORTANT ROLE to play, ENSURING that their families do NOT make or allow any carved images into their homes, lest Yahuah visit their crookedness upon their children!

 

The Letter “Bet” (number 2) also symbolizes DIVISION . . . the kingdom of light versus the kingdom of darkness -- the righteous versus the lawless.

(Good vs. Bad – Messiah Yahusha & satan; Sarah & Hagar; Yitshaq & Ishmael; Abel & Cain).

3rd Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:11

‘You DO NOT bring the NAME of YHUH your Elohim to naught, for YHUH does NOT LEAVE him UNPUNISHED who brings His Name to naught.

 

The word “naught” in the above passage of Scripture comes from the Hebrew Root word . . . H7723 shawv, shav From the same as H7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjectively), uselessness (as deceptive, objectively; also adverbially in vain): - false (-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.

 

Sadly, most believers [Unknowingly] follow the CORRUPT example of religion and tradition to desolate and ruin the Name of The Almighty by [replacing] His Name with titles used for ALL pagan deities ("god" and "lord"). All those who love The Almighty and His Word of Truth will obey His command to STOP bringing His SET-APART COVENANT NAME (YHUH – Yahuah) to naught!

 

Deut 5:29

‘Oh, that they had such a heart in them, to fear (revere) Me and to GUARD ALL My COMMANDS [always], so that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

 

When we read the indexes to many modern-day Scriptures, we will notice that many translators OPENLY CONFESS to REPLACING The Name of YHUH with the title "lord" (meaning ba'al - see Strong's H1167 and H1168) to uphold a tradition (of man).

We read in Jer 8:8 how the FALSE PEN of the scribes (it also includes modern-day translators) have PROCLAIMED FALSEHOOD (adding to and taking away from Scripture).

 

The 3rd Letter in ancient Hebrew is the Letter “GAM” (Ancient Hebrew) or “Gimel” (Modern Hebrew), portraying the head of a camel! This letter symbolizes “TO LIFT-UP” and “EXALT” [the NAME of our Almighty YHUH – Yahuah]!

 

The Letter “Gimel” is also used in the Hebrew words for REBUKE, PROUD and REDEEM.

Let’s SERIOUSLY heed to the WARNING found in the ROOT and AUTHENTIC LANGUAGE of Scripture (ancient Hebrew)! Let’s STOP being PROUD, clinging to pagan traditions and man-made doctrines, desolating and ruining the Name of The Almighty, replacing it with pagan titles associated with all pagan deities, lest we be REBUKED by Yahuah (YHUH)!

 

We have been redeemed by Yahuah (YHUH) through the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son, Mashiach (Messiah) Yahusha! Let us be thankful for our redemption and praise Almighty YHUH - revering, fearing, honouring, worshiping and esteeming His true SET-APART NAME! His Name can be proven and validated by many reputable resources, including ancient manuscripts of Scripture, dating back to the 2nd century BY (before Yahusha)!

 

Let’s STOP bringing His Name to naught and give Him the REVERENCE, RESPECT, HONOR, PRAISE and ESTEEM that He deserves!

Tehillim (Psa) 22:22

I make known Your Name to My brothers; In the midst of the assembly I praise You.

 

Tehillim (Psa) 145:21

My mouth speaks the praise of YHUH, And let all flesh bless His set-apart Name, Forever and ever.

 

Tehillim (Psa) 148:13 Let them praise the Name of YHUH, For His Name alone is exalted, His splendour is above the earth and heavens.

 

The Letter “Gimel” (number 3) also means DIVINE FULLNESS – Debarim (Deu) 19:15.

4th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deu) 5:12-14

Guard the Sabbath day, to set it apart, as YHUH your Eloah/Elohim (Mighty One) commanded you (not requested). Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHUH your Elohim. You do not do any work -- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, so that your male servant and your female servant rest as you do.

Bereshith (Gen) 2:3

And Elohim blessed the seventh day (NOT the first day) and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating had made.

 

Shemoth (Exo) 31:13

“And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl (Jew and Gentile), saying, ‘My Sabbaths (plural, including the weekly 7th day Sabbath, as well as the Sabbath days during the Appointed Times (7 Eternal Festivals)) you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YHUH, am setting you apart.

 

YeshaYahu (Isa) 56:2,6

“Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil. Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to YHUH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHUH, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant.

 

In the above passages of Scripture, we clearly see that the Sabbaths of Ab (Father) YHUH are a sign of His COVENANT with us! If we desire to GUARD His COVENANT, we will OBSERVE His Sabbaths (weekly 7th-day Sabbath, as well as His other Appointed Times (Ex 12 and Lev 23).

 

Guarding His Sabbaths’ means FORSAKING the counterfeit 1^st day (sun-day) Sabbath and all the pagan festivals (new years, christ-mass, alloween, valentines, easter (instead of the Scriptural Passover), thanksgiving, etc.) of the Roman Catholic Church, observed by the majority of churches around the world!

 

The 4th Letter in ancient Hebrew is the Letter “DAL” (Ancient Hebrew) or “Dalet” (Modern Hebrew), symbolizing “A DOOR” or “PATH of LIFE”! Scripture reveals to us WHO the “DOOR” and “PATH of LIFE” is . . .

Yohanan (Joh) 10:7-9

Yahusha (the Messiah) therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture.

 

Yohanan (Joh) 14:6

Yahusha said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

 

Scripture also reveals WHO the Master of the Sabbath is . . .

MattithYahu (Mat) 12:8

“For the Son of Aḏam (Messiah Yahusha) is Master of the Sabbath.

 

According to Scripture, did Messiah observe the Scriptural 7th-day Sabbath?

Luqas (Luk) 4:16

And He came to Natsareth, where He had been brought up. And according to His practice, He went into the congregation on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

 

In the Scriptures above we learned that the Sabbaths of Ab (Father) YHUH is an ETERNAL SIGN of His COVENANT!

 

How does the 4th Letter of the ancient Hebrew Alphabet align to GUARDING COVENANT with YHUH! The 4th Letter (DOOR) guides us to RETURN to the COVENANT of Ab (Father) YHUH! We read from Scripture that His Sabbaths are the SIGN of His COVENANT! It calls for a COMPLETE CHANGE! It calls for OBEDIENCE to the Instructions and Commands of Ab YHUH (called His Torah), FORSAKING the counterfeit traditions and laws that the “apostate church” has taught for generations, CHANGING the Instructions and Commands of YHUH (Jer 8:8, Jer 23 and Dan 7:25) to fit-in with their own traditions, culture and lawless lifestyles!

 

Who do you choose to be IN COVENANT with? Your “church”, your “pastor, rabbi or priest” or Almighty Creator Yahuah?

Hazon (Rev) 18:4

And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her (Babel - the counterfeit), my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

5th Commandment or Covenant Word

Please NOTE that the first 4 Commandments are all about our relationship with Ab (Father) YHUH and the following 6 Commandments about our relationship with our Neighbors!

 

Debarim (Deut) 5:16

‘Respect your father and your mother, as YHUH your Elohim has commanded you, so that your days are prolonged, and so that it is well with you on the soil which YHUH your Elohim is giving you.

 

This Command is simple – respect our father and mother! It does NOT say respect your father and mother when they do well or give you what you ask or want! It says RESPECT them “period” (whether you think they deserve it or not)!

 

How does this Command link-up with the 5th Letter in Hebrew?

The 5th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “HAY” (Ancient and Modern Hebrew) and symbolizes an “OPEN WINDOW” or “WHAT is REVEALED” – it basically REVEALS our HEARTS! The word picture shows a tabernacle as “the HEART of Ab (Father) Yahuah REVEALED”! It also means “BEHOLD”!

 

The 5th Commandment reveals direction for our lives. Those who honour their parents will be blessed and enjoy prolonged life. Like the chosen nation of Yisrael, many Believers still remain in the land of bondage (Egypt) and many have come-out of Egypt, but still wander in the desert.

 

Not understanding and guarding the Instructions and Commands (Torah) of Father Yahuah is a major reason why Believers are MISSING-OUT on the BLESSINGS of Ab Yahuah!

 

In Hebrew, the word “honour” is “KAVOD”. The Word picture shows that when we honour, we OPEN our INNER DOOR (our hearts)! We open our hearts to our parents, to Ab Yahuah, and to all our relatives and friends! Those who don’t honour their parents lose a powerful foundational truth for the rest of their lives!

 

Those who follow Ab Yahuah as their PERFECT FATHER will UNDERSTAND His kingdom concept of honouring our parents! They are to be valued and cherished until they die, no matter their inability to accept, love, provide for and protect us! If we can accomplish this, we will be BLESSED and PROSPER!

 

The Letter “Hay” also appears TWICE in Yahuah’s SET-APART NAME.

(Yud-Hay-Uau-Hay). He is our PERFECT FATHER and we should obviously respect and honour Him FIRST and FOREMOST!

Tehillim (Psa) 63:4 Therefore I bless You while I live; In Your Name I lift up my hands.

Tehillim (Psa) 66:4 “All the earth bow to You, They sing praises to You, They praise Your Name.” Selah.

 

Tehillim (Psa) 45:17 I cause Your Name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people praise You forever and ever.

 

The letter “HAY” (number 5) is also a sign of Ab Yahuah’s FAVOR (grace)! Num 1-3.

6th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:17

‘You do not murder’

 

Ya’aqob (Jam) 4:2

You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are unable to obtain. You strive and fight, and you do not possess, because you do not ask. In the above Scripture, we see that murder is associated with lust, jealousy, strive, fighting and unbelief!

 

The 6th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “Uau” (Ancient Hebrew) or "Waw"/"Vav" (Modern Hebrew), symbolizing “A NAIL” and “A HOOK”!

 

This letter creates a BOND – 2 objects or people are JOINED together. This bond of life, family and community is BROKEN by murder! In MattithYahu (Mat) 5:21-22 our Messiah warned us that whoever was ANGRY with his (male and female) brother BROKE the six Commandment!

 

We are “NAILED” to what we “LUST AFTER”! The word picture for lust tells us that it is the “STRONG NAIL”!

Think about it for a moment – why do people commit murder? They want what they can’t have (whatever they lust after - like money, power, sex, etc.) or what they have lost (lusted after)!

 

This Commandment in an expression of Ab (Father) YaHUaH’S heart – we are to VALUE others ABOVE our own lives, above our pride, possessions and shortcomings!

The Letter Uau (Waw) [number 6] is also the number of man. Bereshith (Gen) 1:26-28.

7th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:18

‘You do not commit adultery'.

 

MattithYahu (Mat) 5:28

“But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

 

Iyob (Job) 31:1

“I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I gaze at a maiden?

 

Debarim (Deut) 6:5

“And you shall love YHUH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.

 

Marqos (Mark) 12:30

‘And you shall love YHUH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command (summing-up commands 1 to 4 – it’s about our relationship with the Father).

 

When Believers speak about adultery, they think it implies only to having sex with someone else, outside of marriage! Many Believers COMMIT SPIRITUAL ADULTERY every day and they don’t even realize or know it! How might you ask? We read in YirmeYahu (Jer) 3 how Almighty Yahuah was DISPLEASED with the houses of Yisrael and Yahudah (Judah) for committing adultery.

 

YirmeYahu (Jer) 3:8

“And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Yisra’ĕl had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Yahuḏah did not fear, but went and committed whoring too.

 

YirmeYahu (Jer) 3:9

"And it came to be, through her frivolous whoring, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and wood".

 

Scripture is clear that our FIRST LOVE and FIRST PRIORITY should be a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with Father (Yahuah), through His Son (Yahusha), by His Set-Apart Spirit (Ruach Ha'Qodesh)! If we place anything above or higher than this relationship, we COMMIT ADULTERY! When we REBEL against the Instructions and Commands of Father Yahuah (His Torah), choosing to rather believe and yield to the lawless doctrines and traditions of man, we COMMIT ADULTERY!

 

When we lust after anything material, or the flesh of another being (male or female), we COMMIT ADULTERY!

 

What is the consequence of ADULTERY? - the same as with all other works of Unrepented lawlessness (which is sin according to 1Yohn 3:4).

 

MattithYahu (Mat) 7:21-23

NOT everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness (disobedience to the Instructions of Ab YHUH (called His Torah))!’

 

What does the 7th Commandment and the 7th Hebrew Letter have in common?

The 7th Letter in Hebrew is the letter “ZAN” (Ancient Hebrew) and “ZAYIN” (Modern Hebrew), meaning “A WEAPON”, symbolizing “CUTTING” or “SEPARATING”.  

 

“A WEAPON” (COVENANT with Ab Yahuah, as well as COVENANT with your spouse) can be used to PROTECT! The PURPOSE of the WEAPON is to “CUT COVENANT” and to PROTECT and ESTABLISH “lasting covenants” (with Ab YaHUaH and your spouse)!

 

“A Weapon” can also Destroy (Covenant)! The Hebrew word for an enemy that is OUTSIDE of YAHUAH’s COVENANT is “zar”! The ancient word picture shows that such a person is a “weapon person”, DESTROYING COVENANT, instead of ESTABLISHING and PROTECTING it! ADULTERY is associated with the “enemies or weapon people”! Adultery is what Cuts, Destroys, and Separates from life!

 

This IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT calls Believers to be a people of YaHUaH who make and establish His COVENANT (by guarding His commands), NOT a people of the “weapon” who destroys life!

 

The number 7 (associated with the Letter “Zayin”) symbolizes SPIRITUAL PERFECTION (KEEPING COVENANT) Hazon (Rev) 10:7 and 16:7.

8th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:19

‘You do not steal'.

 

Wayyiqra (Lev) 19:11

‘Do not steal, do not lie, do not deceive one another'.

 

MattithYahu (Mat) 6:19

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also".

 

When we speak of stealing, believers immediate think of material possessions! But this command is much more than just [stealing] material possessions! If we lie to each other, we also STEAL the TRUTH from each other, thus keeping our loved ones bound through our DECEIT!

 

The word “steal” in this Commandment comes from the following Hebrew root word H1589 בנגּ gânab A primitive root; to thieve (literally or figuratively); by implication to deceive: - carry away, X indeed, secretly bring, steal (away), get by stealth.

 

Messiah taught us to NOT accumulate earthly possessions where it can be STOLEN, but to lay up TREASURES in heaven that CANNOT be stolen!

Let’s examine our hearts today – where is our treasure? Many's treasure is their homes, cars and material possessions.

 

The father of “theft” (satan) uses his snares, deceptions and schemes to steal people’s salvation, their deliverance, their joy, their peace and restricts them from worshiping The Father and Son in Spirit and Truth (satan uses scribes, translators and ministers to twist Scripture (Jer 8:8; Jer 23; Eze 34; Mal 2).

 

satan changed the Father and Son’s Names in Scripture to pagan titles and names, using these counterfeit titles and names by which man is [supposedly] saved, delivered, healed, immersed (baptized) and restored.

 

satan has also successfully stolen worship away from Father Yahuah and Messiah Yahusha in the process! How did he do this? Believers don't use the SET-APART NAMES of Yahuah and Yahusha in praise, worship and even prayer through satan's deception hiding The Father and Son's Names, removing it from Scripture.

satan keeps unknowing believers bound, [teaching] them the traditions and doctrines of man (Mar 7:7-9), which opposes the Instructions and Commands (Torah) of Almighty Yahuah (YHUH), thus keeping believers enslaved to Babylon’s abominations, rooted in lawlessness!

 

The 8th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “HET” (Ancient Hebrew) or “CHET” (Modern Hebrew), meaning a WALL or FENCE, symbolizing SEPARATION or PROTECTION!

 

A fence or wall isolates from pending danger! The Scriptural view of a fence is to offer protection instead of isolation! The Hebrew word for “brother” is “achi”, meaning a “strong fence”! A brother or sister (in Messiah Yahusha) PROTECTS – being part of Ab (Father) YHUH’s fence that helps ward off danger and destruction and allows other believers to endure and overcome when the enemy confronts them!

 

Walls protect people, family and their possessions! Believers in Messiah Yahusha should be a “wall of protection” around those who they claim to love!

 

The number 8 (Letter Het/Chet) symbolizes “NEW BEGINNING” Bereshith (Gen) 17:12; Wayyiqra (Lev) 9:1.

9th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:20

"You do not bear false witness against your neighbor".

 

This commandment can be traced back to the serpent (snake) in the Garden of Eden. He bore false witness against YHUH, twisting His Word and deceived both Adam and Hawwah (Eve).

 

He has continued with his cunning deceit on earth, constantly twisting Scripture, offering a [believable] counterfeit, luring unsuspected Believers into sinning (often not knowing they are sinning)!

 

The word “false” in this Commandment comes from the Hebrew root word [shav] and is [also used] in the 3rd Commandment ... H7723 shâv' shav From the same as H7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjectively), uselessness (as deceptive, objectively; also adverbially in vain): - false (-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.

 

The word “witness” in this Commandment comes from the Hebrew root word ... H5707 ‛êd From H5749 contracted; concretely a witness; abstractly testimony; specifically a recorder, that is, prince: - witness.

 

satan is the accuser of believers and will resort to any tactics to deceive believers, luring them into following his corrupt example of unrighteousness (lawlessness), enticing them into falsely accusing their neighbour(s), thus taking on his character of deceit and sin, keeping them in bondage to his reign of darkness!

 

In CONTRAST, believers who guard and observe the Instructions (Torah) of Ab (Father) Yahuah (YHUH) will SURROUND their neighbour, PROTECTING them from false accusation(s), and they will EXPOSE any said accusation(s), establishing righteousness! So too, Messiah Yahusha (our Advocate) and the Qodesh Ruach (Set-Apart Spirit) of Yahuah (our Witness) testifies on our behalf when the accuser falsely accuses those walking in righteousness (obedience to the Torah of Yahuah)!

 

The 9th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “TET” (Ancient and Modern Hebrew) and means “TO SURROUND” or “SNAKE”!

 

This letter carries BOTH a PROMISE and a WARNING!

The Hebrew word for “SIN” is “CHATA”, informing us that sin is a FENCE that [SURROUNDS] STRONGLY or the FENCE of the [snake’s] strength!

 

In CONTRAST, the Hebrew word for TRUST is “BE-TACH”, meaning that both safety and trust come when we are INSIDE the [SURROUNDING] FENCE!

 

We must choose which one of the two meanings we will follow – we can [SURROUND] ourselves and others with FALSE ACCUSATIONS or we can CHOOSE TRUTH, LOVE and TRUE FRIENDSHIP/BROTHERHOOD!

 

The latter choice reflects the heart of Father YAHUAH, whereas the first choice reflects the deceit of the serpent – the Accuser!

 

The choice of TRUTH, LOVE and FRIENDSHIP can be seen in the Hebrew word for SAFETY which speaks of a [SURROUNDING] for the sake of PROTECTION, instead of ATTACK!

 

We must daily ask ourselves . . .

Whose example will we follow?

Who will we imitate?

Who will we serve?

Messiah Yahusha or the snake?

 

The number 9 (Letter Tet) also symbolizes VISITATION (from the Set-apart Spirit) of YaHUaH - Luqas (Luk) 19:43-44.

10th Commandment or Covenant Word

Debarim (Deut) 5:21

You do not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor do you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbour.’

 

Tehillim (Psa) 23:1

YHUH is my shepherd; I do not lack.

 

The word “covet” comes from the Hebrew root word . . . H2530 חמד châmad

A primitive root; to delight in: - beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, (X great) elight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing).

 

We are clearly NOT to lust after or desire anything of our neighbour (including anything else we see in the world)!

 

If we are IN COVENANT with Ab (Father) Yahuah (YHUH), He (through Messiah Yahusha) is our PERFECT SHEPHERD, and we will NOT LACK anything we need (not what we desire) – Read Debarim (Deut) 28:1-14!

If Ab Yahuah is our FIRST LOVE, PASSION and DESIRE, we will be FULFILLED in every area of our lives and we will NOT DESIRE anything else!

 

The 10th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter Yod/Yud, meaning “A HAND”, “TO WORK” and “DEED”!

This letter describes what is UPRIGHT (RIGHTEOUS), establishing your work, sowing seeds of righteousness, bearing fruit or DESPAIRED, destroying your work, sowing seeds of Unrighteousness, bearing no fruit!

 

The letter “YOD” is the FIRST letter of Ab YHUH's [set-apart Name].

When He created the heavens and earth, He ESTABLISHED His good “work” (creation).

 

In contrast, the enemy (satan) seeks to DESTROY the “work” of Ab Yahuah in everything He created, including us!

 

Yohanan (Joh) 10:10

“The thief (satan or anyone that takes on his character) does not come except to steal, and to slaughter, and to destroy. I (Messiah Yahusha) have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure.

 

Whose character and example will we choose to follow?

That of our divine Creator, or that of the destroyer?

 

The LAST Commandment brings us back to the FIRST!

The first Commandment commands us to NOT have any other “gods”!

 

How can anyone who has experienced the fulfilment of knowing Ab YaHUaH and His reign (kingdom) covet or desire anything less (whatever we covet, we lust after and will serve or yield to)!

 

Eph’siyim (Eph) 4:28

Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labour, working with his hands what is good, so that he has somewhat to share with those in need.

 

The number 10 (Letter Yod) also symbolizes DIVINE ORDER (YHUH’s Instructions and Commands, - His Torah) Shemoth (Ex) 20:1-17.
