Ezra 3:11

King James Version (KJV)

“¹¹And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord (YHWH); because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord (YHWH), because the foundation of the house of the Lord (YHWH) was laid.”

This occurring after Judah returns from serving the prophetic 70 years in Babylon, but why did they end there? because they turned from YH, the Father or Word /Wisdom of Elohim – our Salvation. Curious enough, though the book of Ezra precedes Nehemiah (in most modern Bible translations), the first thing that occurs upon their return is not the rebuilding of the Temple’s foundation (Ezra’s task) instead it was the enormous task of rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls; done by Nehemiah and others who had actually arrived before Ezra.

Why did this happen in this order? So the temple’s foundation (where the Word would reside) would be protected from it’s reproachers (the enemy, he who opposes the Word – today the anti-Messiah – Satan).

The moral of the story? We must build up our temple walls (become set-apart from the World) so we don’t risk loosing the Word within: For failing to understand that, the Tanahk tells us, they lived several experiences of extreme suffering and hardship, and no different to the disobedient Adam and Eve; lessons meant for us, that Israel and Judah would learn first hand. Once secure in Jerusalem, the temple foundation was completed and they all gathered together to thank YHWH, as a people, for extending His goodness and mercy (His salvation) again: And they Worshiped (humbled themselves to) YHWH. HalleluYH, Amein, Amein.

Nehemiah 2:17 (Was called by YHWH to Jerusalem before Ezra)

“¹⁷Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.” Amein :)

Hebrews 11:39-40

King James Version (KJV)

“³⁹And these all (the many persecuted of Israel), having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰God (Elohim) having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”

Paul speaking how we who are born-again in YHshua (YH’s salvation) are to be light to the world (doers and bringers of YH’s salvation), paraphrasing Paul, “first to the Jew (Judah) and then the Greek (Gentiles)”; Romans 1:16, (KJV):

“¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ (the Messiah): for it is the power of God (Elohim) unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Amein, Amein.

1 John 5:8

King James Version (KJV)

⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit (the Manifestation), and the water (the cleansing), and the blood (the life): and these three agree in one (Echad).

In original context, three tangibles that make for One Word; YHshua’s teaching and walk, “that which is manifested, cleansed and living, is the Way of YHWH”. In these truths does Echad (One) witness to the earth, therein can all see and feel the light of a true follower of YHshua. Amein, Amein and HalleluYH (Praises be YH’s).

Isaiah 12:6

King James Version (KJV)

“⁶Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy (Set Apart) One of Israel in the midst of thee.”

The manifested Word of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob saves his children from themselves. We have cause to shout HalleluYH!!!!! Thank you Abba in YHshua :)

Isaiah 10:17

King James Version (KJV)

“¹⁷And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy (Set-Apart) One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;” A fire that works to set us apart (make holy) from dark (worldly) things (the thorns), that we may be a purifying flame for same …. and thus is the Word of Elohim (YH)….. HalleluYH !!!!!

Exodus 39:43

King James Version (KJV)

To give YH’s blessings we must seek and receive them first. Messiah taught unconditional obedience to the Father would yield the blessings, and so to did the prophets before him: Shouldn’t we?

‘⁴³And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord (YHWH) had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.” Paraphrasing YHshua (YH’s salvation), “May Your (YHWH Elohim’s) Will (Word and Works) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven.” Amein, Amein :)

Matthew 16:19

King James Version (KJV)

“¹⁹And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

But is this an automatic truth for us all? It depends who you ask. This wonderful message occurring after YHshua asks Peter, “who do you say I am” to which Peter (Petros or rock in Greek) answers, “you are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim”…. Messiah then replying says, “upon this rock (Peter) I will build my congregation” (paraphrasing), a response that is filled with blessing, but is it as clear as we think? The world may disagree.

Here Peter’s word or statement (a rock) is definitively what YHshua is to build his congregation on, a rock; and so we learn from the Greek and Hebrew how YHshua is saying more than what we may think he is. Let me expand. In taking verse 19 above without the prior verses we do nothing less than dishonor Messiah’s conversation with his disciples, which begs the question, “what came first” what Peter and Yhshua communicated? or what YHshua says beleivers will receive in verse 16′. When read in context, the Messiah is taking this opportunity to teach us that we must believe in him, which is the same as saying to walk in his example, he who the Father sent (the corner stone or rock) and in that belief do his ministry and works (see John 14:12), what leads to eternal salvation. A lesson to his followers to stay on his example in this building a strong foundation “on rock” that will strengthen same; that we learn how Peter’s belief in YHshua Messiah the son of YHWH Elohim has a much deeper Truth then some want us to grasp.

A message that today is still misinterpreted two-fold, 1) a suggestion that we can’t do works towards salvation (again, see John 14:12), indeed a general statement of salvation teaching that to believe and confess is sufficient to receive the keys to the Kingdom of heaven, an action that will also yield a special connection or power from heaven, or 2) the idea that a congregation (a Church) can be built on an image called Peter, the first purported pope (a Messiah on earth) and those thereafter.

These two outcomes occurr because we forget the Bible is like any other literary work, it needs to be sequentially read but most importantly applied to the original context; a message that man made doctrine will not teach us. With that said, those who have chosen (or choose) to skew the Word to meet their doctrine have proven to fulfill Biblical prophecy and the reason the Word warns us to not be followers of men, and no different to what Israel did in our past, what today has evolved to an empowered man with immediate access to salvation and even a religion that follows the image of a man: An excuse to build up men and images in place of YH’s salvation, YHshua, the Truth, the light, the Way.

So my prayer is that we not fall to this trick, and if we have that we repent (turn back to the Word) and understand that there can only be one way to the blessings the Father offers; a truth that becomes self evident when we read the scriptures as intended by the writers: Never forgetting, YHshua told us as much, “May Your (YH’s) Will (Word and Works) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven,” a paraphrase.

The Message? Always remember that when we check scriptures we do so in context (the full message) not loosing sight that man is imperfect; regardless who brings you good tidings, check, check and check!!!!! Always in YHshua.

Revelation 21

King James Version (KJV)

Many ask, to what ends should I be written in the book of life?

“⁴And God (Elohim) shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Amein, Amein and HalleluYH!!!!! :)
