The ministry of reconciliation

Message of Reconciliation

Torah sh’Bichtav

(Written Torah)

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear

“Sola Scriptura”

(the Scriptures alone is authoritative for faith)

(in His Name)

YaHuWaH

[Yah -hoo-Wah]

is the Name of the Creator.

YaHuWSCHuA

(YaHuWSCHuA) is His Son

ALuaHiYM

Page 3: Take your sandals off your feet

[Al-u-heem - ALHYM] means "Mighty Ones“ or "Power"

Qadosh

means Set-apart, Pure.

Kodesh

(Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"

Ruwach (Spirit) is the Ibry (Hebrew) name for His "Presence", pictured

as the Counselor, Helper, and Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from

the Father"

Teh 27:5

For in the day of trouble He will keep me secretly in His booth. In the

covering of His Tent He will hide me. On a Rock He raises me up.

is for you too!

Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be

protected, pray, and hear from Yahuahshua. Knowing there is such a

Page 4: Take your sandals off your feet

place is a matter of faith. Going back time and again, that's a matter of

building a relationship. You need not have an advanced degree in any

subject, need not have memorized Scripture from beginning to end, but

instead be aware the YaHuWaH of Y’ISCHRa’EL has a place for each

Jew and Gentile who will open their minds and hearts to Him.

Mt 6:5-8

When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to

stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that

they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received

their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber,

and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret, and

your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In praying,

don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they

shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be like them,

don't you see that your Father knows what things you need before you

ask Him.

The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared by

those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.

It is written

Lu 11:33

“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,

but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.

Teh. 119:105

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your

whole body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full

Page 5: Take your sandals off your feet

of darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it shall

be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining gives

you Light.”

With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study together in the

Ruakh

And now brothers and sisters

Come out of the secret place bearing light!

who see it from afar. The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of light so

many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen are addressed to

Jew and Gentile together. We do this because that is what the Bible

does. This opens the window to make more sense of what Scripture tells

us!

In the secret place is plain language, something simple to read. This is a

mere starting place for deeper consideration.

Shalom

Page 6: Take your sandals off your feet

Take your sandals off your feet,

for the place on which you are standing is set-apart ground.”

The Torah of Truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not

found in his lips. He walked with Me in shalom and uprightness, and

turned many away from iniquity.

My Covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him

who he might be reverent toward Me; and he was reverent toward Me,

and stood in awe of My Name.

( HaYaH (He was), Howeh (He is), and Yihyeh (He will be).

MattithYahuw 22:32

Page 7: Take your sandals off your feet

‘I Am the Aluah of Abraham, and the Aluah of Yitzhaq, and the Aluah of

Ya'aqob?’ YaHuWaH is not the Mighty Ones of the dead, but of the

living, for all to Him do live!

"from whence is it proved,

(say they,)

that the righteous,

even in their death,

,חיים קרויין

"are called living?"''

Luke 20:38

Now He is not the Aluah of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to

Him!” "Therefore you do err greatly.

Mark 12: 27

He is not the Aluah of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore

badly mistaken.”

Shemot 3:5

He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the

place you are standing on is set-apart ground.”

We are such a tenderized people that we can hardly walk across a field

barefoot anymore, but we cannot expect to keep anything between

ourselves and what He wants to do in us. We need to fully experience

the Torah path rather than staying insulated from confrontation or

correction. We must not form a shell to shield ourselves from YHWH,

Page 8: Take your sandals off your feet

but be vulnerable to whatever the path holds. As Adam and Chavvah

walked barefoot in the Garden of Eden, which was later walled off as

holy ground, like the Temple (where priests also went barefoot), Moshe

is brought a short respite from his exile and allowed to step in and again

hear the voice that spoke there in the cool (literally "breeze" or "Ruwach

") of the day. He is barefoot so he will have direct contact with the sand-

-symbol of the descendants of Avraham.

(The Sermon Bible)

I. The essence of reverence lies in our forming a true estimate of our

place amongst the powers around us, and so understanding aright and

habitually feeling what is our relation to them. Now, to do this, (1) we

must apprehend something of the mystery of life in ourselves and in

others; (2) we must recognize the distinction of the different grades of

being in those in whom life is, and seek to find and to keep our own due

place in that mighty and marvelous scale of existences.

II. We must bow down before Him who is the fountain of all life, the life

of all who live. This adoration of the soul before Him is the central point

of the grace of reverence, and its influence pervades and adjusts all our

other relations, both towards Himself and towards the other creature of

His hand.

III. It is a question of the deepest moment to us all how, in an age one

special temptation of which is clearly to lose its reverence, the gift can

be kept quick and living in ourselves. (1) The first step must be the

keeping guard against whatever tends to irreverence. All that professedly

robs life of its mystery does this. So, even more directly, does all that

robs revelation of its awfulness. Receiving YHWH's word as YHWH's

word, striving to do it, striving to overcome temptations to doubt, not by

crushing them out, but by turning them into occasions of prayer and of

adoration, these efforts, and such as these, will keep us in an irreverent

age from the great loss of irreverence. (2) Above all, we must pray for

reverence as the gift of YHWH; for such prayer not only draws down a

certain answer, but even by its own action tends to put our spirits in the

frame of reverence.

Debarim 5:12

“Treasure up the Sabbath day, to keep it set-apart, as YaHuWaH your

Aluahiym commanded you.

Treasure up: or safeguard.

The Sabbath Blessing

“‘This is the law of the Nätzräya who vows, and of his offering to

YaHuWaH for his separation, besides that which he is able to get.

According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his

separation.’”

YaHuWaH

will kneel before you presenting gifts and will guard you with a hedge of

Protection

YaHuWaH

will illuminate the wholeness of his Being towards you bringing order

and he will beautify you

YaHuWaH

will lift up his wholeness of being and look upon you and will set in place

all your need to be whole and complete

“Thus they shall put My Name on the children of Y’ISCHRa’EL; and I

Myself shall bless them.

Bemidbar 6:21-27

Page 10: Take your sandals off your feet

It is our responsibility to build a hedge around the treasure He has given

us. Be stricter than you have to, to be sure it is not lost! If we are trying

to find loopholes in it, we have not successfully hedged out our own will.

There is more written about this command than any of the others, yet it

receives the least emphasis today, and what publicity it receives is

usually inaccurate. Nothing we do on the Sabbath should be common or

profane. It is a gift--made for man, as YaHuWSCHuA said--but it comes

with instructions as to how it to use it most responsibly for the benefit of

all--even our animals. (v. 14) It must be used for us (corporately), not

for yourself as such.

Yahuwchanan 10:7-9

YaHuWSCHuA therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I

AM the Door (dalet) of the flocks. All who came before Me are thieves

and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them. I AM the Door. (dalet)

If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out,

and shall find pasture.

The Sabbath is the commandment that forms a hinge between the

commands to love YaHuWaH and the commands to love our neighbors

as ourselves. It emphasizes both aspects:

Page 11: Take your sandals off your feet

Debarim 5:13

You shall labor six days, and do all your work;

Treasure up: or safeguard. It is our responsibility to build a hedge

around the treasure He has given us. Be stricter than you have to, to be

sure it is not lost! If we are trying to find loopholes in it, we have not

successfully hedged out our own will. There is more written about this

command than any of the others, yet it receives the least emphasis

today, and what publicity it receives is usually inaccurate. Nothing we do

on it should be common or profane. It is a gift--made for man, as

YaHuWSCHuA said--but it comes with instructions as to how it is for our

benefit. It must be used for us (corporately), not for yourself as such.

Debarim 5:14

But the seventh day is a Sabbath to YaHuWaH your Aluahiym, in which

you shall 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 livestock, nor your stranger who is within your

gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well

as you.

Sabbath: an intense time of ceasing and desisting. The seventh day we

should do as much as possible differently than on other days. Work:

business, craftsmanship, occupation, public or political activity, or

anything in regard to your own property (other than what is necessary to

keep them alive). The term is from a root meaning messenger; it means

anything we do as a representative of another. We may not allow others

to work for us, which rules out purchasing anything from shops which

we are encouraging to remain open if we do so, thus forcing others to

work. Anyone who is within Israelite precincts (or under our authority)

must also abide by the same regulations, whether or not they recognize

any need to do so when they are at home. Visitor: anyone who

Page 12: Take your sandals off your feet

recognizes YHWH to any extent is also held accountable to observe His

day. What may be done is service to the holy community, especially

assembling together to build up the spiritual house, for the Sabbath is

called a

(Guarding it does not mean hoarding it from others. This verse does not

forbid the service mentioned in v. 13, unless we are normally slaves, in

which case we must be allowed to rest. Slaves of those who live under

Torah are members of the household who receive the same benefit. In

order to avoid the other kind of work, it helps to occupy ourselves

directly in service to one another.) We are more likely to be of service to

one another if we come prepared, having studied in advance so we

might provide the "missing piece" in our corporate study. What a

glorious slave hood indeed!

Debarim 5:15

You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Mitsrayim,

and YaHuWaH your Aluahiym brought you out of there by a mighty Hand

and by an outstretched Arm: therefore YaHuWaH your Aluahiym

commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

For this reason: It is linked directly to having been slaves, because when

we keep the Sabbath, we are truly freed from Egypt, which had enslaved

us to the day of the Sun. Under Pharaoh we had to work every day, and

we need to remember how wonderful it would have been to have a day

off. Additional "prongs" to this juxtaposition remind us that YHWH

"redeemed you on the condition that you will be His slave and keep His

commandments." (Rashi) He releases us from bondage every seven days

as well. The Sabbath is the quintessential opposite of slavery; the more

fences we build around it, the freer we will be from anyone else who

tries to lay claim to us on this day, for no one but YaHuWaH and

Y’ISCHRa’EL have a right to. The less we go into any other public, the

fewer occasions they will have to try to use us for their ends. Put into

Page 13: Take your sandals off your feet

effect: or prepare, carry out, do, perform, institute, accomplish, even

"make" or "produce"--i.e., do not do other forms of work, and by not

doing so, do carve out a space in time that is an entity in itself and a

picture of the HIS Kingdom when everything on earth will serve

YaHuWaH's purposes. It already exists, but we need to make it effective.

When a teacher of the Torah/Instruction book asked YaHuWSCHuA

which was the greatest commandment, YaHuWSCHuA gave an answer

that went beyond what the questioner expected. All the commandments

of the law/torah/instructions could be summarized under the word ‘love’.

A person’s first responsibility is to love YaHuWaH; the second is to love

one’s fellow human beings.

How can one understand Love, unless one is shown, does not

the Torah ( the living words of the living Aluah) teach one

The fact that people are commanded to love shows that love is primarily

a matter of doing, not feeling. It is an attitude of loyal obedience that

governs a person’s mind, will and emotions

Mark 12:28-31;

One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing

that YaHuWSCHuA had answered them well, asked Him, “Which

commandment is the greatest of all?” YaHuWSCHuA answered, “The

greatest is,

Page 14: Take your sandals off your feet

And you shall love YaHuWaH your Aluahiym with all your heart, and

with all your soul/nephesh [self], and with all your mind, and with all

your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

The second is like this, ‘

Leviticus 19: 18

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children

of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

There is no other commandment greater than these.”

MattithYahuw 22: 40

The whole Torah and the neb'im hang on these two commandments.”

Deut 6:4

Hear, Y’ISCHRa’EL: YaHuWaH is our Aluahiym! YaHuWaH Is One!

(Listen, Y’ISCHRa’EL! YaHuWaH is our Aluahiym! Only YaHuWaH!)

This is “the” commandment that he has been building up to. (v. 1)

Listen: Heb., Sh’ma. Pay attention, hear, and heed. In Hebrew,

“commandment” means “what sets us in order.” It is a military term.

These are our marching orders. This, along with the next several verses,

is the heart of the Torah. Only YaHuWaH: or, "YaHuWaH is one (or

unified, or all in all)." He is to take first priority in everything, before

anything else that is “mighty” in our lives. His commands need to be our

first consideration in regard to our actions, opinions, attitudes, and

priorities. Actually, He should be the only consideration. Put Him before

all our own logic and reasoning, and we will be able to take the Land

and increase.

Page 15: Take your sandals off your feet

... exact Hebrew translation.

Deut 6:5

and you shall love [long for] aleph-taw YaHuWaH your Aluahiym with all

your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. (me'ode)

Long for: or, love—be fully committed to. To love YaHuWaH is to keep

His commandments.

Yochanan 14:15

If you love Me, keep My Commandments

Resolve: literally, heart—the innermost center of our being, where we

find our balance--the seat of our motivation, determination, and

inclinations. Before embarking on any venture, we must ask how it will

put Him first. If it cannot, there is no place for it. “Heart” comes from a

root meaning to bake bread. The bread of community

1 Cor. 10:17

As therefore that bread is one, so we, who are many, are one body; for

we all partake of that one bread.

must be what is on our hearts. Passion: soul, life-force, or appetite, i.e.,

what one hungers for. Are we hungry for security, fame, power, respect,

attention—or to see His people in their Land? What the wicked hungers

for will leave him hungry, but what the righteous “eats” will satisfy him.

Prov. 13:25

The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul,

When we “chew the cud” of YaHuWaH’s Torah day and night

Page 16: Take your sandals off your feet

Y’hoshua 1:8

This scroll of the Torah shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall

meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all

that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous,

and then you shall have good success.

Resources: the same word used in Hebrew for “very much”, i.e.,

forcefulness, from a root meaning to rake burning coals or embers

together.

What should burn within us is love for YaHuWaH.

How do we love Him with our resources? By giving them away for His

use. If we use them wrongly, they will start the wrong kinds of fires and

burn us instead. When we have too many resources, they really “have”

us instead. We would waste them if we spent them all on ourselves, but

if they are in His “account”, they last forever. When we give them up,

they no longer weigh us down. The yoke is easy when one does not try

to carry the weight all by himself. It is impossible anyway, but we are

here to bear one another’s burdens. One man cannot bear the Torah; a

people can. YaHuWSCHuA said this verse was the greatest

commandment in the Torah. But He said a second was “like it”—that of

loving our neighbor as ourselves. This is because loving those from the

same flock—literally, who graze from the same pasture as we do—is a

large part of what YaHuWaH wants from us

Mikha 6:8

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does YaHuWaH require

of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your

Aluahiym?

so if we do not do this, we will not truly be loving YaHuWaH either.

1 Yochanan 4:20-21

If a man says, “I love YaHuWaH,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for

he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love

YaHuWaH Whom he has not seen? This Commandment we have from

Him, that he who loves YaHuWaH should also love his brother.

Page 17: Take your sandals off your feet

The questioner immediately saw that such a requirement as this was

greater than all the requirements of the sacrificial system. He realized

that YaHuWaH required change within people’s hearts more than formal

obedience to ceremonial laws. He began to see what many of the Jews

failed to see, and in so doing made definite progress towards the

kingdom of YaHuWaH

Mark 12:32-34

The scribe said to Him, “Truly, Teacher, You have said well that He is

one, and there is none other but He, and to love Him with all the heart,

and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the

strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all

whole burnt offerings and slaughters.”

When YaHuWSHuWaH saw that he answered wisely, He said to him,

shalom

YaHuWSCHuA

ALuaHiYM YaHuWSCHuA haMaSHiYaCH

Page 18: Take your sandals off your feet

In His Name

Be not blind to the truth

And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that

YaHuWSCHuA passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O YaHuWaH,

[thou] Ben David. An YaHuWSCHuA stood still, and called them, and said,

what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him, YaHuWaH, that our

eyes may be opened. So YaHuWSCHuA had compassion [on them], and touched

their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

A rule necessary, and of great extent. A servant in the Gospel Vineyard, though

worthy of his Comfortable support while in the work. Should never preach for

hire, or make a secular traffic of the Ruwach (spiritual work): what a scandal is

it for a man to traffic with gifts which he pretends, at least, to have received

from the Ruwach HaQodesh, of which he is not the master, but the dispenser. He

who preaches to get a living, or make a fortune, is guilty of the most infamous

sacrilege
