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)

[Yah -hoo-Wah]

is the Name of the Creator.

(Yâhuwshúa`) is His Son

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

means Set-apart, Pure.

(Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"

Ruwach (Spirit) is the Ibriy (Hebrew) name for His

"Presence", pictured as the Counselor, Helper, and

Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from the Father"

Tehillim 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 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 Yâ-hwuah of Y’sra’al 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.

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.

Tehillim. 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 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 Ruwach

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.

WaYiqra 23:27

Yâ-hwuah spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth

day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-

apart convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves;

and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yâ-hwuah.

YaHuWaH spoke to Moshah, saying,

“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom

Kippur: it shall be a Set-apart convocation to you, and you

shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made

by fire to Yâ-hwuah . You shall do no manner of work in

that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for

you before Yâ-hwuah your Aluahiym. For whoever it is

who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off

from his people. Whoever it is who does any manner of

work in that same day, that person I will destroy from

among his people. You shall do no manner of work: it is a

statute forever throughout your generations in all your

dwellings.

On this high holiday alone is the same level of strictness of

the Sabbath observed, and even more so. Humble

yourselves: often translated "afflict your souls", which is

taken to mean a complete fast. It could just as well read

"suppress your appetites", so this is a legitimate

interpretation, especially in light of

Yesh./Isa. 58:3.

Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and you don’t see? Why

have we afflicted our being, and you take no knowledge?’

„Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact

all your laborers.

This is why "no work at all", not even preparation of food, is

allowed. Traditionally, one also does not bathe or anoint

one's body with fragrances. When Yâhuwshúa` said to do

these things while fasting, he was referring to a personal fast,

which is more than is required, but this one is a corporate

fast required of everyone in the community, so no one has

to humbly hide the fact that he is fasting. It could also mean

"be busy about your soul" (considering what motivates us

and wherein we have failed and need to repent), not with

things of the body, which is why all of these are set aside and

left unattended--so there can be complete concentration

on repentance. At the end of Yom Kippur, we are to bring

an offering to Yâ-hwuah, but first Yâhuwshúa` tells us to

get things right with our brothers, and leave the offering

until then.

Matt. 5:24

Leave your offering there before the altar and go away; first

be reconciled to your brother and then having come, offer

your offering.

By Jewish tradition, He will not forgive us on this day if the

human victims of our sins have not already forgiven us.

Doors are opened on this day in the heavenlies to give us

the power to overcome our sins,

You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is

Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Yâ-hwuah

your Aluahiym. For whoever is who shall not deny himself

in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.

Be Humbled:

On this day it is especially honorable to confess our sins, to

establish the fact that this is always honorable. Confession is

done with the mouth, but repentance can only be proven

by our actions.

Whoever it is who does any manner of work in that same

day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

This is a day for bringing Yoseyf's bones back to the Land

Ber. 50:25;

Yoseyf' took an oath of the children of Ysra'al, saying,

“Aluahiym will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my

bones from here.”

Y’hezq’el 37:1

The Hand of Yâ-hwuah was on me, and He brought me out

in the Ruwach of Yâ-hwuah, and set me down in the midst

of the valley; and it was full of bones.

Y’hezq’el 37:2

He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there

were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were

very dry.

Amazingly dry: As long as there is some marrow left in the

bones or teeth, DNA samples can be taken from even

ancient mummies, but these bones are too dry for that.

Y’hezq’el could not tell whose they were. There is no genetic

evidence left that they were once Y’sra’al. But DNA and

ancestry is not what will constitute our claim to be Y’sra’al,

but the fact that we live as Y’sra’al now.

Y’hezq’el 37:3

He said to me, O mortal, can these bones live? I answered, O

Yâ-hwuah, my Master, only you know.

Y’hezq’el 37:4

Again He said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell

them: O dry bones! Hear the Word of Yâ-hwuah.

Y’hezq’el 37:5

Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah to these bones: Behold, I

will cause Breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

Y’hezq’el 37:6

I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and

cover you with skin, and put Breath in you, and you shall

live; and you shall know that I AM Yâ-hwuah.

He tells them twice that breath (Ruwach/spirit) will come

into them. The first time, with the coming of the

haMashiyach, we were reborn as individuals. He was

authorized to give life to whomever He chose.

Yâhuwchânâ´n 5:21;

For just as the Father raises up the dead and makes them

alive, thus also the Son makes alive those whom He wishes.

compare

Yâhuwchânâ´n. 20:22

And having said this, He blew on them and says to them:

“Receive ye the Ruwach of the Pure One;

The second time, it must be corporately. This infusion of

breath came with the departure of Yâ-hwuah’s wrath from

the Northern Kingdom only a few years ago.

Y’hezq’el 37:7

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied,

suddenly there was a rattling, and behold, and the bones

came together, bone matching to bone.

Bone to its bone: compare Adam’s realization that “at last

this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh!”

Gen. 2:23

He made the side (rib), which Ya-hwuah Aluahiym had

taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the

man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and

flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was

taken out of Man.

It could also be read, member to its corresponding same;

i.e., Yâ-hwuah puts us in the right order, e.g., not expecting

an eardrum to function correctly if attached to a finger.

What holds them all together is the exercise of the gifting’s

Yâ-hwuah has given each of us to supply the rest of the

Body so it can function properly.

Eph. 4: 16.

From Whom all the body is fitted together and united

through every supplied joint, according to the amount of

gift granted by measure to every single member for the

growth of the body, to accomplish its own edification by

affectionate love.

Y’hezq’el 37:8

I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh

came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no

breath in them.

Flesh: from the same root word as “Gospel” (glad news). So

it is clear that the Gospel is not all Yâ-hwuah intends for us.

We are the ones who must flesh out the remains of our

scattered ancestors by keeping the particular commands of

the Torah.

Y’hezq’el 37:9

Then said He to me, Prophesy to the Breath, prophesy, O

mortal! Say to the Breath, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah:

Come, O Breath from the four winds, and breathe on these

slain, that they may live again.

Note that this third time, it is Y’hezq’el responsibility to

call the breath into them. This is the Ruwach (spirit) of

Eliyahu—that of the restoration of all things.

Mal.4:5ff;

Behold, I will send you Ali'Yahuw the prophet before the

great and terrifying Day of Ya-hwuah comes.

Mark 9:12

And He, responding, said to them: “ËliyYâ´huw indeed,

when he has come first, prepares all things

Per the Aramaic.

The Greek here says “reconstitutes”, in well-being, home or

organization per the Strong’s Concordance #600.

“Prepares”,

though, is a clear reference to

Mal’âkhíy 3:1

“Behold, I send My Messenger, and he will clear the way

before Me; and the Master, Whom you seek, will suddenly

come to His Hekal; and the Messenger of the Covenant,

Whom you desire, behold, He comes!” says Yâ-hwuah of

Armies.

which says that he will “prepare the Way before Him”.

in order that he should suffer and be made utterly nothing

of , how it has also been written about the Son of ’Âthâ´m.

Even many of those who have the true Gospel and know

they are Y’sra’al are still lacking in the area of living

according to the Torah, and we are not ready to go to the

Land until all three stages are complete. In the shakharit

morning prayers, we blow the shofar to call Y’sra’al back

from all four directions. Slain ones: an allusion to a

tradition that 30,000 Efrayimites, knowing redemption was

coming and that they were meant to go back to the Land of

Y’sra’al, left Egypt on their own before Moshe came, and

came to a valley in the Promised Land, but were killed there

by the Filistines. This re-emphasizes the fact that this passage

is not referring to Yahuwdah, whose ancestral connections

were never lost, but the Northern Kingdom. Verse 16 uses

the same terminology as v. 11 (“the whole House of

Y’sra’al”) with reference only to the House of Yoseyf

(Efrayim). This is also a warning to those of us who would

try to go back to the Land too early—before all Y’sra’al is

ready to go together. The Palestinians call themselves

Filistines too!

Y’hezq’el 37:10

So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the Breath came

into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an

exceedingly great army. (me'ode me'ode)

The root word from which the Hebrew word for “bone” is

taken actually means vast, mighty, or numerous!

Y’hezq’el 37:11

Then He said to me, Son of Adam, these bones are the

whole House of Ysra'al: behold, they say, Our bones are

dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.

Bones…dried: or, members…withered away [for lack of

water]. Our hope is lost: or, our rope has been cut. The

word for bone also means “to tie tightly together”; bones

have no value otherwise. Separated: or, divided in two. To

ourselves: to living as individuals and even letting our

spiritual lives and salvation focus on that level alone.

Y’hezq’el 37:12

Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Master Yâ-

hwuah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to

come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you

into Eretz-Ysra'al.

Y’hezq’el 37:13

You shall know that I AM Yâ-hwuah, when I have opened

your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves,

My people.

The bones were on the surface of the ground; now the

imagery changes to graves, because though it was our

ancestors who were scattered, we are the ones who must

come out of the churches, often even surrounded by

graveyards, to become what our ancestors were meant to

be.

Y’hezq’el 37:14

I will put My Ruwach in you, and you shall live, and I will

place you in your own Land: and you shall know that I, Yâ-

hwuah, have spoken it and performed it, says Yâ-hwuah.

Spoken: This is how Yâ-hwuah. Created the first time, and

how He now re-creates us.

Tehillim. 104:30.

You send forth Your Ruwach: they are created. You renew

the face of the ground.

Y’hezq’el 37:15

The Word of Yâ-hwuah came again to me, saying,

Y’hezq’el 37:16

You, son of Adam, take one stick, and write on it, For

Yahuwdah, and for the children of Ysra'al his companions:

then take another stick, and write on it, For Yowseph, the

stick of Ephraiym, and for all the House of Ysra'al his

companions:

Y’hezq’el 37:17

and bring them together for yourself into one stick and

they shall become one in your hand.

This stick was once united before, and it represented the

brotherhood of Yahuwdah and Ysra’al.

ZekharYahuw 11:10-14;

I took my staff Favor/Pleasantness, and chopped it in two,

that I might break My Covenant that I cut with all the

peoples.

IMPORTANT/PLEASE TAKE TIME OUT TO

UNDERSTAND THIS NEXT PHARAGRAPH

Yâ-hwuah therefore no longer has covenant with any

nation but Ysra'al. In context, this also symbolizes the end

of Yâ-hwuah’s relationship of any sort with the Church,

which is made up of people from all nations. Any last

illusion of protection outside the fold of Ysra'al is removed.

They have to recognize that they are actually Ysra'al if they

are His, in order to retain covenant with Him and benefit

from the blessing to all the families of the earth that was

promised to Abraham’s seed.

THANK YOU

B'Rayshiyth. 22:18

In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed

[mingled], because you have obeyed [literally "heard"] My

Voice.”

Mingled: or grafted; Obeyed: literally, heard (though

obedience is implied)—for Yâ-hwuah’s saw that Avraham

had taken both of His contradictory words (“I will continue

your seed through Yitzhaq” and “kill your childless son”) as

truth; he “heard” what Yâ-hwuah’s was saying, though it

was incomprehensible.

The Renewed Covenant, as well, is made with the House of

Ysra'al and the House of Yahuwdah.

YirmeYahuw 31:31

Behold, the Days come, says Yâ-hwuah, that I shall cut a

new (renewed) covenant with the House of Ysra'al, and with

the House of Yahuwdah:

Not like: in that “they violated it” (broke it in two, split or

cracked it—as Moshe did with the physical tablets on which

Yâ-hwuah had written it, in perfect symbolism of what they

had done). The Aramaic interprets “violated” as

“changed”—the very thing the Northern Kingdom, after

being exiled and even after being introduced to Yâhuwshúa`

, tried to claim Yâ-hwuah had done! In all other ways, a

renewed covenant must be as much like the original as

possible, with only minor adjustments to reflect a change

that may have taken place in the situation of one party or

the other since the first was made. Though I fulfilled and I

disregarded them.

ZekharYahuw 11:11

It was broken in That Day; and thus the meek of the flock

that were watching Me knew that it was the Word of Yâ-

hwuah.

In That Day: an idiom for the Messianic Kingdom, which is

exactly the time frame being described here.

ZekharYahuw 11:12

And He said to them, “If you think it best, give me my

wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my

wages thirty pieces of silver.

This is also the price the owner of an ox that gores someone

else’s slave is responsible to pay his master.

Shemot. 21:32

If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty

shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox

shall be stoned.

Thus it is the price of a servant—the very title of Mashiyach

YashaYahuw 52:13

Behold, My Servant [The Mashiyach] shall deal wisely, He

shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.

And indeed thirty pieces of silver is the exact price paid to

Yahuwdah for his betrayal of Yâhuwshúa`.

(Mat. 27)

(the Portion of Bloodshed)

Then Yehuwthâ´h, who gave Him over, having seen that He

was condemned to death; having regretted it, brought back

the thirty silver pieces which had been paid to him to the

chief priests and the elders, Saying:

“I sinned, giving over guiltless blood.”

But they said:

“What is that to us? You will answer for it!” And having

flung the silver pieces within the Temple building, he

withdrew; and having gone away, took a rope and hanged

himself, and was strangled. And the chief priests, having

taken the silver pieces, said:

“It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the

price of blood.”

And having taken counsel together, from them they

bought the lot of the field of the potter, for a burial ground

for strangers. Consequently that lot was called

“Choq ’el dâ´mâh” (the Portion of Bloodshed)

even unto the current day.

ZekharYahuw 11:13

Yâ-hwuah said to me, “Throw it to the potter, (the

magnificent value at which I was appraised by them!”) I took

the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in

the House of Yâ-hwuah.

The money Judas was paid for tips leading to Yâhuwshúa`

capture was in fact returned to the priests in Yâ-hwuah’’s

house, but they could not use it for anything holy, since it

was blood money, so they used it to buy the Potter’s Field

as a place to bury foreigners.

The Greek version of Matithyahu says this was from the

prophet Yirmeyahu.

Yirmeyahu 18

indeed speaks of the potter, but this passage of Z’kharyah is

what is paraphrased there. The Aramaic and Syriac versions

of Matithyahu, which are older than the Greek, do not

specify which prophet was being quoted, but the Hebrew

(Shem-Tov) version—most likely the earliest—does

correctly specify that it was Z’kharyah.

Alternate reading

: [“And He [Yâ-hwuah] said to them: “Give My price, what

seems good in your sight; but if not, keep it!” So they gave

My price: thirty silver pieces. And Yâ-hwuah said to me:

“Throw it to the potter, the amount of the price which I was

valued at from them.”] So I took the thirty silver pieces

(the bounty-price of Him Who was revered, Whom they

assessed of the sons of Ysra'al), And I threw it in the House

of Yâ-hwuah for the lot of the potter, according as Yâ-

hwuah directed me.”

ZekharYahuw 11:14

Then I chopped in two My other staff, even The One that

Binds/Union, that I might break the brotherhood between

Yahuwdah and Ysra'al.

Though at this point Ysra'al as a nation had been gone for

200 years, it is still fresh in mind for Yâ-hwuah. He will not

talk about Yahuwdah’s welfare without that of his brother,

for until Ysra'al (the lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom)

is back as well, there can be no Kingdom, for both houses of

Ysra'al must together enthrone the same Shepherd Who will

reign in David’s line.

Y’hezq’el 34:23; 37:22-25

I will set up One Shepherd over them, and He shall feed

them, even My servant Alef wTaw Dawiyd; He shall feed

them, and He shall be their shepherd. and I will make them

one nation in the Land, on the mountains of Ysra'al; and

one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no

more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two

kingdoms any more at all; neither shall they defile

themselves any more with their idols, nor with their

detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I

will deliver them out of all their dwelling places, in which

they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be My

people, and I will be their Aluahiym. My servant Dawiyd

[through Yâhuwshúa] shall be king over them; and they all

shall have one Shepherd: they shall also walk in My

ordinances, and observe My statutes, and do them. They

shall dwell in the Land that I have given to Ya'aqob My

servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell

therein, they, and their children, and their children’s

children, into the ages and beyond: and Dawiyd My servant

shall be their prince into the ages and beyond

Y’hezq’el 37:16-19

You, son of Adam, take one stick, and write on it, For

Yahuwdah, and for the children of Ysra'al his companions:

then take another stick, and write on it, For Yowseph, the

stick of Ephraiym, and for all the House of Ysra'al his

companions:

Y’hezq’el 37:17

and bring them together for yourself into one stick and

they shall become one in your hand.

Y’hezq’el 37:18

When the children of your people shall speak to you,

saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?

Y’hezq’el 37:19

tell them, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah : Behold, I will

take the stick of Yowseph, which is in the hand of Ephraiym,

and the tribes of Ysra'al his companions; and I will put them

with it, even with the stick of Yahuwdah, and make them

one stick, and they shall be one in My hand.

distress.

jealous for his Aluahiym, and made atonement for the

children of Ysra'al.’”

This is what Pin’has’ zeal for his inherited duty earned him.

was Yâ-hwuah so impressed with one man’s zeal that He

“forgot” how angry He was with the rest of the people.

Never underestimate what one person can accomplish. Like

Aharon his grandfather, he stood between the living and the

dead, stopped a plague, and restored order. This greatly

pleased Yâ-hwuah , bringing an aroma that soothed His

burning nostrils. The difference between life and death was

being in the proper order. Imagine how people must have

respected his position after what he did here. What

constituted this “covenant of completeness”? Pin'has was

not originally in line to be High Priest; his uncle Nadav was.

Since Nadav was killed, and the next in line, Avihu, with

him, it fell to Pin'has' father, El'azar, to become the High

Priest. But here Yâ-hwuah promised that this kind of

transfer would not occur again; the priesthood would

remain in Pin'has' line, because he was the kind of high

priest Yâ-hwuah wanted. Eternal: Thus there can be no

“change of priesthood”. Is it still in effect today, after over

3,000 years? The writers personally know one of his

descendants who still knows who he is and is taking up his

role again, and have heard of many others. It was the

Israelite man who was guilty; the woman was just acting

normally for a Midyanite When a woman whose husband

was jealous was found guilty of adultery, her belly is what

swelled, and her reproductive organs ceased to function.

(Chapter 5) Here, Pin'has ran his spear through her

reproductive organs.

Because of this (the casting out), the days are coming, says

Yâ-hwuah, that it shall no more be said, As Yâ-hwuah lives,

Who brought up the children of Ysra'al out of the land of

Mitsrayim; but, As Yâ-hwuah lives, Who brought up the

children of Ysra'al from the land of the north, and from all

the countries where He had driven them. I shall bring them

again into their Land that I gave to their fathers See, I am

sending for many fishermen, says Yâ-hwuah, and they shall

fish them up;and afterward I shall send for many hunters,

and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from

every hill, and from out of the holes bored into the rocky

cliffs.

Chapter 38

The Word of Yâ-hwuah came to me, saying, Son of Adam,

set your face toward Gowg (seems to be the "king"), of the

land of Magowg. He is the chief prince of Meshek, and

Tuwbal, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus says the

Master Yâ-hwuah : Behold, I am against you, Gowg, chief

prince of Meshek, and Tuwbal: and I will turn you around,

and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth,

with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them

clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and

shield, all of them handling swords; Paras, Kuwsh, and Puwt

with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer, and

all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts

of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with

you. Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your

companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to

them. After many days you shall be visited: in the latter

years you shall come into the Land that is brought back

from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on

the mountains of Ysra'al, which have been a continual

waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they

shall dwell securely, all of them. You shall ascend, you shall

come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the

Land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.

Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: It shall happen in That Day,

that things shall come into your mind, and you shall devise

an evil device: and you shall say, "I will go up to the Land of

un-walled villages; I will go to those who are at rest, who

dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and

having neither bars nor gates"; to take the spoil and to take

the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are

now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out

from the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods,

who dwell in the middle of the earth. Sheba, and Dedan, and

the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it,

shall say to you, Have you come to take the spoil? have you

assembled your company to take the prey? to carry away

silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take

great spoil? Therefore, son of Adam, prophesy, and tell

Gowg, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: In That Day when

My people Ysra'al dwells securely, shall you not know it?

You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts

of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them

riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army; and

you shall come up against My people Ysra'al, as a cloud to

cover the Land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will

bring you against My Land, that the nations may know Me,

when I shall be set apart in you, Gowg, before their eyes.

Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: Are you he of whom I

spoke in old time by My servants the prophets of Ysra'al,

who prophesied in those days for many years that I would

bring you against them? It shall happen in that day, when

Gowg shall come against Eretz-Ysra'al, says the Master Yâ-

hwuah, that My wrath shall come up into My nostrils. For in

My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath have I spoken,

Surely in that Day there shall be a great shaking in Eretz-

Ysra'al; so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky,

and the animals of the field, and all creeping things who

creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface

of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains

shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and

every wall shall fall to the ground. I will call for a sword

against him to all My mountains, says the Master Yâ-

hwuah: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. With

pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with

him; and I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the

many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower,

and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur. I will magnify Myself,

and set apart Myself, and I will make Myself known in the

eyes of many heathen; and they shall know that

Note on Gowg:

The only other mention of someone named Gowg in

Scripture is in

1 Chron. 5:1- 4,

where he is identified as a descendant of Ruwben (first-born

of Ya'aqob) and the leader of a dynasty in that tribe.

5:1

The sons of Ruwben the firstborn of Ysra'al (for he was the

firstborn; but, because he defiled his father’s couch, his

birthright was given to the sons of Yowseph the son of

Ysra'al; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the

birthright.

5:2

For Yahuwdah prevailed above his brothers, and of him

came the prince {Mashiach}; but the birthright was

Yowseph’s:)

5:3

the sons of Re'uwben the firstborn of Ysra'al: Chanowk, and

Palluw, Chetsron, and Karmiy.

5:4

The sons of Yo'el: Shema'Yahuw his son, Gowg his son,

Shim'iy his son....

So an Ysra'alite is leading heathen peoples to battle against

the rest of Ysra'al. All of Yâhuwshúa’’s other enemies have

been put under His feet by the end of the Millennial

Kingdom, so this final attempt at rebellion has to originate

with an insider who has experienced the benefits of the

kingdom all along. ----- (as did Judas who betrayed

Mashiyach!)

Magowg is often seen as the land ruled over by Gowg. But

the name means “overtopping”, which also relates to

Re’uwben’s lack of self-control.

Gen. 49:4

Boiling over as water, you shall not excel; because you went

up to your father’s bed,then defiled it. He went up to my

couch.

after they have been dead to their identity and separated

individually to themselves. When they become unselfish

and are reunited with Yehudah, they will form one body

who comes to the wedding feast without the proper

Matt. 22:13

it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all

your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you,

and you shall deny yourselves.

Working on this day is an abomination, because at this

point it is too late to change the sentence for this year. If we

have not repented by now, additional efforts will be futile,

and we must "lie in the bed we have made"--or rest in the

fact that our sins are covered because of what Yâhuwshúa`

has done, because this day foreshadows the final Day of

Judgment. On this day alone is it possible for willful sins to

be forgiven, and on this day alone does the high priest make

atonement in the holiest place for the entire community as

a whole unit. How does it bind us together? See

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 58.

in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to

evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

When people read the above they become confused, for it

says on the 10th day you will keep the Day of Atonement,

and you shall deny yourselves in the 9th day of the month

from evening to evening

This is the only festival actually called a "sabbath" rather

than a Shabbaton ("high sabbath"). Evening to evening :

that is, sunset to sunset on the ninth: the day begins at

evening, in darkness, just as we begin our lives in the dark

womb, and the Day of Yâ-hwuah will begin with wrath and

great terror on the earth. Days overlap in Hebraic thought,

so if we do not begin as it is still the ninth, we will miss the

beginning of the actual Day. Yoseyf's dream tells us that the

moon symbolizes a woman (his mother), and thus it

represents the bride of Yâ-hwuah as well. A bare sliver of

moon is visible on the Day of Trumpets. By the evening of

the 9th, the moon is 2/3 full, yet still needs to be further

clothed until we reach the fullness of joy at the next festival,

Sukkoth, on the 15th. These festivals include the opening of

gates, so symbolically we are entering gate after gate,

progressing higher and higher through the various courts,

getting closer to the Temple itself, which we finally reach at

Sukkoth, when there is total revelation. But the number 10

symbolizes a complete congregation, so on the 10th we

should be putting our own selves away, thus enabling our

joy to be made complete.

Here is proof of The True Calendar of Yâ-hwuah, each year

the Day of Atonement lands on the weekly Sabbath, which

is a joy to behold; it’s not a day of affliction, further notice

and

in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to

evening,

it’s a DAY of YOUR affliction from evening to evening

it’s the ninth day

knowing you can set his calendar days by knowing which

day is the day of atonement, means worshipping our creator

and not creation

This particular Sabbath is called your Sabbath, for the weekly

Sabbath is oft called the Sabbath of Yâ-hwuah.

Rehearsal: also a "calling together" Set-apart convocation to

you (convocation).

On this high holiday alone is the same level of strictness of

the Sabbath observed, and even more so. Humble

yourselves: often translated "afflict your souls", which is

taken to mean a complete fast. It could just as well read

"suppress your appetites", so this is a legitimate

interpretation, especially in light of

Yesh./Isa. 58:3.

‘Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and You don’t see? why

have we afflicted our being, and You take no

knowledge?’“Behold, in the day of your fast you find

pleasure, and exact all your laborers.

Yom Kippur is a day to repent (turn around 180 degrees)

and break the bonds of sin in our lives, and then to bring

the same freedom to others. "Yoke" comes from the word

for "wavering", and we want to end this as well. Yom Kippur

is called the day of the closing of the gates, and it is a time

to make choices and build walls between ourselves and the

alternatives so that we will put our hand to the plow and

not look back.

This is why "no work at all", not even preparation of food, is

allowed. Traditionally, one also does not bathe or anoint

one's body with fragrances. When Yâhuwshúa` said to do

these things while fasting, he was referring to a personal fast,

which is more than is required, but this one is a corporate

fast required of everyone in the community, so no one has

to humbly hide the fact that he is fasting. It could also mean

"be busy about your soul" (considering what motivates us

and wherein we have failed and need to repent), not with

things of the body, which is why all of these are set aside and

left unattended--so there can be complete concentration

on repentance. At the end of Yom Kippur, we are to bring

an offering to Yâ-hwuah, but first Yâhuwshúa` tells us to

get things right with our brothers, and leave the offering

until then.

Matt. 5:24

Leave your offering there before the altar and go away;

first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come,

offer your offering.

By Jewish tradition, He will not forgive us on this day if the

human victims of our sins have not already forgiven us.

Doors are opened on this day in the heavenlies to give us

the power to overcome our sins,

The great annual day of humiliation and expiation for the

sins of the nation,

Act_27:9

When much time had passed and the voyage was now

dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by,

Sha'ul admonished them,

and the only one commanded in the law of Moses.

The mode of its observance is described in

Lev 16:3-10;

“Herewith shall Aharon come into the Sanctuary: with a

young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering?

He shall put on the Set-apart linen coat, and he shall have

the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen

sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are

the Set-apart garments. He shall bathe his body in water,

and put them on. He shall take from the congregation of

the children of Y’sra’al two male goats for a sin offering and

one ram for a burnt offering. “Aharon shall offer the bull of

the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement

for himself and for his house. He shall take the two goats,

and set them before Yâ-hwuah at the door of the Tent of

Meeting. Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot

for Yâ-hwuah, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Aharon

shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yâ-hwuah,

and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the

lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Yâ-

hwuah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for

the scapegoat into the wilderness.

Lev_23:26-32;

Yâ-hwuah spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth

day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-

apart convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves;

and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yâ-hwuah.

You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is

Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Yâ-hwuah

your Aluahiym. Whoever it is who shall not deny himself in

that same day; shall be cut off from his people. Whoever it

is who does any manner of work in that same day, that

person I will destroy from among his people. You shall do

no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your

generations in all your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of

solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the

ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to

evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

Num_29:7-11.

“‘On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a

set-apart convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you

shall do no manner of work; but you shall offer a burnt

offering to Yâ-hwuah for a pleasant aroma: one young bull,

one ram, seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you

without blemish; and their meal offering, fine flour mixed

with oil, three tenth parts for the bull, two tenth parts for

the one ram, a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs:

one male goat for a sin offering; besides the sin offering of

atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal

offering of it, and their drink offerings.

It was kept on the tenth day of the month Tisri, i.e.,

five days before the feast of Tabernacles, and lasted from

sunset to sunset.

Atone

A. Verb.

kapar

(H3722),

"to cover over, atone, propitiate, pacify."

This root is found in the Hebrew language at all periods of

its history, and perhaps is best known from the term Yom

Kippur, "Day of Atonement." Its verbal forms occur

approximately 100 times in the Hebrew Bible. Kapar is first

found in

Ber 6:14,

Make an ark of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the

ark, and shall cover it inside and outside with pitch.

Ark: a box or chest that can float. The only other place the

term is used in Scripture is in reference to the box used to

keep Moshah afloat on the Nile.

Ex. 2:3

When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus

basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put

the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.

"Cover" is the same as the word translated elsewhere as

"atone", “redeem”, or “ransom”.

Ex. 21:30; 30:2;

If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the

redemption of his life whatever is laid on him. Its length

shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square,

and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one

piece with it.

Num. 35:31

“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a

murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put

to death.

Prov. 21:18

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous

for the upright.

YashaYahuw 43:3

For I am Yâ-hwuah your Aluahiym, the Qodesh-One of

Y’sra’al, your Savior. [Anointed/Mashiyach] I have given

Mitsrayim as your ransom, Kuwsh and Seba in your place.

i.e., the price of a life, sometimes described in terms of Yâ-

hwuah sacrificing the wicked to preserve the righteous,

which is exactly what He did here. The sealant outside the

ark kept the wrath of Aluahiym from touching those inside

it, just as the Mashiyach's shed blood

Ephesians 4:30

And do not grieve Yâ-hwuah Ruwach haQadosh by which

you were sealed unto the Day of Ransoming.

inside and outside with pitch. Has with his Ruwach inside

and out where it is used in its primary sense of "to cover

over." Here Yâ-hwuah gives Noah instructions concerning

the ark, including,

.

(The KJV translates, "Pitch it within and without with

pitch.")

Most uses of the word, however, involve the theological

meaning of "covering over," often with the blood of a

sacrifice, in order to atone for some sin. It is

not clear whether this means that the "covering over" hides

the sin from Yâ-hwuah sight or implies that the sin is wiped

away in this process.

As might be expected, this word occurs more frequently in

the Book of Leviticus than in any other book, since

Leviticus deals with the ritual sacrifices that were made to

atone for sin. For example,

Lev_4:13-21

“‘If the whole congregation of Y’scra’al sins, and the thing is

hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done

any of the things which Yâ-hwuah has commanded not to

be done, and are guilty; when the sin in which they have

sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull

for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the

head of the bull before Yâ-hwuah; and the bull shall be

killed before Yâ-hwuah. The anointed priest shall bring of

the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: and the priest

shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times

before Yâ-hwuah, before the veil. He shall put some of the

blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yâ-hwuah

that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he

shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering,

which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. All its fat he

shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. Thus shall he do

with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so

shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement

for them, and they shall be released. He shall carry forth the

bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first

bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

Gives instructions for bringing a young bull to the tent of

meeting for a sin offering. After the elders laid their hands

on the bull (to transfer the people's sin to the bull), the bull

was killed. The priest then brought some of the blood of the

bull into the tent of meeting and sprinkled it seven times

before the veil. Some of the blood was put on the horns of

the altar and the rest of the blood was poured at the base of

the altar of burnt offering. The fat of the bull was then

burned on the altar. The bull itself was to be burned outside

the camp. By means of this ritual,

Lev_4:20

"the priest shall make an atonement [kapar] for them, and it

shall be forgiven them"

The term "atonement" is found at least 16 times in Leviticus

16, the great chapter concerning the Day of Atonement.

Before anything else, the high priest had to "make

atonement" for himself and his house by offering a bull as a

sin offering. After lots were cast upon the two goats, one

was sent away into the wilderness as an atonement

Lev_16:10

But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be

presented alive before Yâ-hwuah, to make atonement for

him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

while the other was sacrificed and its blood sprinkled on the

mercy seat as an atonement for the people

Lev_16:15-20

“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the

people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his

blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on

the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: and he shall

make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of the

uncleanness of the children of Y’sra’al, and because of their

transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the

Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their

uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting

when he enters to make atonement in the Set-apart Place,

until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself

and for his household, and for all the assembly of Y’sra’al.

“He shall go out to the altar that is before Yâ-hwuah and

make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s

blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on

the horns of the altar. He shall sprinkle some of the blood

on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it

Set-apart from the uncleanness of the children of Y’sra’al.

“When he has made an end of atoning for the Set-apart

Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present

the live goat.

The Day of Atonement was celebrated only once a year.

Only on this day could the high priest enter the Sacred of

Sacredness of the tabernacle or temple on behalf of the

people of Y’sra’al and make atonement for them.

Sometimes atonement for sin was made apart from or

without blood offerings. During his vision-call experience,

Isaiah's lips were touched with a coal of fire taken from the

altar by one of the seraphim. With that, he was told,

Isa_6:7

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has

touched your lips; so your guilt is averted, and a covering

has been effected over your sin."

The English versions translate the word variously as "purged"

(KJV, JB); "forgiven" (RSV, NASB, TEV); and "wiped away"

(NEB). In another passage, Scripture says that the guilt or

iniquity of Y’sra’al would be "purged" (KJV, NEB) by the

destruction of the implements of idolatrous worship

Isa_27:9

Therefore, this is how the crookedness of Ya'aqob shall be

covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when

he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are

beaten to dust -- the ashërâh and the sun-pillars shall rise

no more.

In this case, the RSV renders kapar as "expiated," while the

NASB and TEV translate it as

"forgiven."

B. Noun.

kapporet

(H3727),

"mercy seat; throne of mercy."

This noun form of kapar has been variously interpreted by

the English versions as "mercy seat" (KJV, RSV); "cover"

(NEB); "lid" (TEV); "throne of mercy" (JB); and "throne"

(Knox). It refers to a slab of gold that rested on top of the

Images of two cherubim’s stood on this slab, facing each

other. This slab of gold represented the throne of Yâ-hwuah

and symbolized His real presence in the worship shrine. On

the Day of Atonement, the high priest sprinkled the blood

of the sin offering on it, apparently symbolizing the blood's

reception by Yâ-hwuah. Thus the kapporet was the central

point at which Y’sra’al, through its high priest, could come

into the presence of Yâ-hwuah.

This is further seen in the fact that the temple proper was

distinguished from its porches and other accompanying

structures by the name

"place of the mercy seat

(kapporet)"

1Ch_28:11

Then Dawiyd gave to Shelomoh his son the pattern of the

porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries,

and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of

it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

The Septuagint refers to the mercy seat as a "propitiary"

(hilasteirion).

Atonement

katallage

(G2643)

, translated "

atonement"

in the KJV of

Rom 5:11,

signifies, not "atonement," but "reconciliation," as in the

RV.

Rom 11:15;

For if their casting away brings the world’s reconciliation,

what shall their admission bring, if not deliverance that is

from among the dead?

2 Co 5:18-19.

Yet all things are from the mighty One, Who reconciled us

to Himself through Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed and gave to

us the service of attendance of the reconciliation, In the

manner that the mighty One was within the Anointed:

reconciling a world to Himself, not reckoning their offenses

to them, and having put within us the Word of

reconciliation

So with the corresponding verb katallasso, see under

RECONCILE. "Atonement" (the explanation of this English

word as being "at-onement" is entirely fanciful) is

frequently found in the OT. See, for instance,

The corresponding NT words are

hilasmos,

"propitiation,"

1 Jo 2:2;

And He Himself is the propitiation (Compensator) for our

sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

1 Jo 4:10,

In this is love, not that we loved Yâ-hwuah, but that He

loved us, and sent His Son a propitiation [Compensation]

for our sin

And

hilasterion,

Rom_3:25;

Whom Yâ-hwuah set forth as an atonement, for an evident

sign of His deliverance through belief in His blood, thereby

Passing-Over the sins that had taken place beforehand, and

in Yâ-hwuah’s forbearance

Heb_9:5

They serve in a place of worship that is only a copy, a

shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moshah was

getting ready to build the Tabernacle, Yâ-hwuah gave him

this warning: "Be sure that you make everything according

to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain."

These describe the means (in and through the person and

work of Yahuwshua` HaMashiyach, in His death on the

cross by the shedding of His blood in His vicarious sacrifice

for sin) by which Yâ-hwuah shows mercy to sinners.

Propitiation

A. Verb.

Hilaskomai

(G2433)

was used amongst the Greeks with the significance "to make

the Yâ-hwuah’s propitious, to appease, propitiate,"

inasmuch as their good will was not conceived as their

natural attitude, but something to be earned first. This use

of the word is foreign to the Greek Bible, with respect to Yâ-

hwuah whether in the Sept. or in the NT. It is never used of

any act whereby man brings Yâ-hwuah into a favorable

attitude or gracious disposition. It is Yâ-hwuah who is

"propitiated" by the vindication of His holy and righteous

character, whereby through the provision He has made in

the vicarious and expiatory sacrifice of HaMashiyach, He has

so dealt with sin that He can show mercy to the believing

sinner in the removal of his guilt and the remission of his

sins.

Luk 18:13

But the tax collector, standing afar off, would not even raise

up his eyes unto the heavens; instead, he was thumping at

his chest, saying:

“O Yâ-hwuah, be propitious to me, the sinner!”

it signifies "to be propitious" or "merciful to" (with the

person as the object of the verb), and in

Heb 2:17

Wherefore it was necessary for Him to be made similar in all

things to His brothers, in order that He might be a merciful

High Priest, yet trustworthy to the things concerning the

mighty One, for making conciliation for the sins of the

people,

"to expiate, to make propitiation for" (the object of the

verb being sins); here the RV,"to make propitiation" is an

important correction of the KJV "to make reconciliation."

Through the "propitiatory" sacrifice of HaMashiyach, he

who believes upon Him is by Yâ-hwuah's own act delivered

from justly deserved wrath, and comes under the covenant

of grace. Never is Yâ-hwuah said to be reconciled, a fact

itself indicative that the enmity exists on man's part alone,

and that it is man who needs to be reconciled to Yâ-hwuah,

and not Yâ-hwuah to man. Yâ-hwuah is always the same

and, since He is Himself immutable, His relative attitude

does change towards those who change. He can act

differently

towards those who come to Him by faith, and solely on the

ground of the "propitiatory" sacrifice of HaMashiyach, not

because He has changed, but because He ever acts according

to His unchanging righteousness.

The expiatory work of the Tree is therefore the means

whereby the barrier which sin interposes between Yâ-hwuah

and man is broken down. By the giving up of His sinless life

sacrificially, Yâhuwshúa` annuls the power of sin to separate

between Yâ-hwuah and the believer.

In the OT the Hebrew verb kaphar is connected with kopher,

"a covering" (see MERCY SEAT), and is used in connection

with the burnt offering, e.g.

the guilt offering, e.g.,

the sin offering, e.g.,

the sin offering and burnt offering together, e.g.,

the meal offering and peace offering, e.g.,

as well as in other respects. It is used of the ram offered at

the consecration of the high priest,

Exo_29:33,

and of the blood which Yâ-hwuah gave upon the altar to

make "propitiation" for the souls of the people, and that

because "the life of the flesh is in the blood,

„WaYiqra (and He Called)_17:11,

For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to

you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is

the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

and "it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of

the life" (RV). Man has forfeited his life on account of sin

and Yâ-hwuah has provided the one and only way whereby

eternal life could be bestowed, namely, by the voluntary

laying down of His life by His Son, under divine retribution.

Of this the former sacrifices appointed by Yâ-hwuah were

foreshadowing’s.

Elsewhere in the NT it occurs in

Rom_3:25,

Whom the Mighty Ones placed above the lid of the

box (ark) ,

Greek: proétheto. This translation makes perfect sense in

view of recent archeological findings. Ron Wyatt, a late

remarkably blessed “Biblical” archaeologist, found the site of

the crucifixion to be directly over the cave in which

YirmYâ´huw stored away the Temple artifacts, specifically

the box (Ark) of the Covenant. There was a rent in the

rock at the base of the cross-hole and the blood of the

bleeding Yâhuwshúa` nailed to the gallows-tree flowed

through this down to the ceiling of the cavern and dripped

through a crack in the stone lid covering the box (ark), and

actually covered the mercy-seat of the lid of the box.

See the fascinating account at the museum’s website,

http://www.wyattmuseum.com/

for an evident sign of His rectification through the belief in

His blood, thereby Passing-Over the sins that had taken

place beforehand,

where it is used of Yâhuwshúa` Himself; the RV text and

punctuation in this verse are important:

"whom Yâ-hwuah set forth to be a propitiation,

through

faith, by His blood."

The phrase "by His blood" is to be taken in immediate

connection with "propitiation." Yâhuwshúa`, through His

expiatory death, is the personal means by whom Yâ-hwuah

shows the mercy of His justifying grace to the sinner who

believes. His "blood" stands for the voluntary giving up of

His life, by the shedding of His blood in expiatory sacrifice

under divine judgment righteously due to us as sinners,

faith being the sole condition on man's part.

Note: "By metonymy, 'blood' is sometimes put for 'death,'

inasmuch as, blood being essential to life,

Lev_17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to

you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is

the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

, when the blood is shed life is given up, that is, death takes

place. The fundamental principle on which Yâ-hwuah deals

with sinners is expressed in the words 'apart from shedding

of blood,' i.e., unless a death takes place, 'there is no

remission' of sins,

Heb_9:22.

Because almost all things, according to the Law, are

purified by blood; and without shedding blood, there is no

liberation!

"But whereas the essential of the type lay in the fact that

blood was shed, the essential of the antitype lies in this, that

the blood shed was that of Yâhuwshúa `Hence, in

connection with Jewish sacrifices, 'the blood' is mentioned

without reference to the victim from which it flowed, but in

connection with the great antitypical sacrifice of the NT the

words 'the blood' never stand alone; the One Who shed the

blood is invariably specified, for it is the Person that gives

value to the work; the saving efficacy of the Death depends

entirely upon the fact that He Who died was the Son of Yâ-

hwuah."*

* From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, p. 168.

Hilasmos

(G2434),

akin to hileos ("merciful, propitious"), signifies "an

expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." It

is used in the NT of Yâhuwshúa` Himself as "the

propitiation,"

1 Jo 2:2

And He Himself is the Compensator concerning our sins;

yet not only concerning the ones our own, rather also

concerning those of the whole world!

signifying that He Himself, through the expiatory sacrifice

of His death, is the personal means by whom Yâ-hwuah

shows mercy to the sinner who believes onYâhuwshúa`as

the One thus provided. In the former passage He is

described as "the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours

only, but also for the whole world." The italicized addition

in the KJV, "the sins of," gives a wrong interpretation. What

is indicated is that provision is made for the whole world, so

that no one is, by divine predetermination, excluded from

the scope of Yâ-hwuah's mercy; the efficacy of the

"propitiation," however, is made actual for those who

believe.

In 1 Jo_4:10,

In this action [v.9] is the Affectionate Love shown: not

because we have affectionately loved the mighty One,

rather, because He has affectionately loved us, so His Son

was sent, a Compensation concerning our sins.

the fact that Yâ-hwuah "sent His Son to be the propitiation

for our sins," is shown to be the great expression of Yâ-

hwuah's love toward man, and the reason

In His Name

Blessed be, in His name

'YaHuWaH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YaHuWaH bless you.' "

Be not blind to the truth And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Yâhuwshúa` passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Yâ-hwuah, [thou] Ben David. An

Yâhuwshúa` stood still, and called them, and said, what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him, Yâ-hwuah,

that our eyes may be opened. So Yâhuwshúa` had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and

immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
