Shalom,

I read this simple but very excellent post of David H. Stern and wife Martha's Facebook. 

HalleluYAH!  Yes and I agree joyfully.  Share with you all might enjoy this.  May YHWH bless you all. 

 

 

 

 

 

"L’shana tova tikatevu," which means, "May you be inscribed [in the Book of Life] for a good new year."

 

　

Exodus 32:33 CJB

Now, if you will just forgive their sin! But if you won’t, then, I beg you, blot me out of your book which you have written!"

　

Psalms 69:29 CJB *KJV and some modern versions verse 28*

(28) Erase them from the book of life,
let them not be written with the righteous.

　

Judges 3:27 CJB

Upon arrival in the hills of Efrayim, he began sounding the call on the shofar; and the people of Isra'el went down with him from the hill-country; he himself took the lead.

　

2 Samuel 20:1 CJB

There happened to be there a scoundrel whose name was Sheva the son of Bikhri, a Binyamini. He sounded the shofar and said, "We have no share in David, no inheritance in the son of Yishai; so, Isra'el, every man to his tent!"

　

Nehemiah 4:18-22 CJB

18 As for the construction-workers, each one had his sword sheathed at his side; that is how they built. The man to sound the alarm on the shofar stayed with me.

19 I said to the nobles, the leaders and the rest of the people, "This is a great work, and it is spread out; we are separated on the wall, one far from another.

20 But wherever you are, when you hear the sound of the shofar, come to that place, to us. Our God will fight for us!"

21 So we kept doing the work. Half of them held spears from daybreak until the stars appeared.

22 Also at that time I told the people, "Let everyone with a servant stay the night within Yerushalayim, so that at night they can be a guard for us, even as they work during the day."

　

Ezekiel 33:1-6 CJB

1 The word of ADONAI came to me:

2 "Human being, speak to your people; say to them, 'Suppose I bring the sword on a country, and the people of that country take one of their men and appoint him their watchman.

3 Now if, upon seeing the sword coming against that country, he blows the shofar and warns the people;

4 then, if the sword comes and takes away someone who heard the sound of the shofar but paid no attention to it, the responsibility for that person's death will be his own -

5 he heard the shofar but paid no attention, so the responsibility for his death is his own; whereas if he had paid attention, he would have saved his life.

6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, so that the people are not warned; and then the sword comes and takes any one of them, that one is indeed taken away in his guilt, but I will hold the watchman responsible for his death.'

　

　

Joel 2:1 CJB

1 "Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!" Let all living in the land tremble, for the Day of ADONAI is coming! It's upon us!

　

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 CJB

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God's shofar; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise;

17 then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord.

　

1 Thessalonians 5 Chapter CJB

1 But you have no need to have anything written to you, brothers, about the times and dates when this will happen;

2 because you yourselves well know that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

3 When people are saying, "Everything is so peaceful and secure," then destruction will suddenly come upon them, the way labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there is no way they will escape.

4 But you, brothers, are not in the dark, so that the Day should take you by surprise like a thief;

5 for you are all people who belong to the light, who belong to the day. We don't belong to the night or to darkness,

6 so let's not be asleep, like the rest are; on the contrary, let us stay alert and sober.

7 People who sleep, sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us stay sober, putting on trust and love as a breastplate and the hope of being delivered as a helmet. a

9 For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

10 who died on our behalf so that whether we are alive or dead, we may live along with him.

11 Therefore, encourage each other, and build each other up - just as you are doing.

12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are working hard among you, those who are guiding you in the Lord and confronting you in order to help you change.

13 Treat them with the highest regard and love because of the work they are doing. Live at peace among yourselves;

14 but we urge you, brothers, to confront those who are lazy, your aim being to help them change, to encourage the timid, to assist the weak, and to be patient with everyone.

15 See that no one repays evil for evil; on the contrary, always try to do good to each other, indeed, to everyone.

16 Always be joyful.

17 Pray regularly.

18 In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.

19 Don't quench the Spirit,

20 don't despise inspired messages.

21 But do test everything - hold onto what is good,

22 but keep away from every form of evil.

23 May the God of shalom make you completely holy - may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

24 The one calling you is faithful, and he will do it.

25 Brothers, keep praying for us.

26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27 I charge you in the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

28 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.

　

　

Philippians 4:3

3 I (Rav Shaul/Paul) also request you, loyal Syzygus, to help these women; for they have worked hard proclaiming the Good News with me, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers whose names are in the Book of Life.

　

Revelation 3:5 CJB

5 He who wins the victory will, like them, be dressed in white clothing; and I will not blot his name out of the Book of Life; in fact, I will acknowledge him individually before my Father and before his angels.

　

Revelation 3:1-6 CJB

1 "To the angel of the Messianic Community in Sardis, write: 'Here is the message from the one who has the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars: "I know what you are doing - you have a reputation for being alive, but in fact you are dead!

2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains, before it dies too! For I have found what you are doing incomplete in the sight of my God.

3 So remember what you received and heard, and obey it, and turn from your sin! For if you don't wake up, I will come like a thief; and you don't know at what moment I will come upon you.

4 Nevertheless, you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes; and they will walk with me, clothed in white, because they are worthy.

5 He who wins the victory will, like them, be dressed in white clothing; and I will not blot his name out of the Book of Life; in fact, I will acknowledge him individually before my Father and before his angels.

6 Those who have ears, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the Messianic communities."'

　

　

Revelation 13:8 CJB

8 Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

　

Revelation 13:1-9 CJB

1 and I saw a beast come up out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten royal crowns and on its heads blasphemous names.

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, but with feet like those of a bear and a mouth like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its power, its throne and great authority.

3 One of the heads of the beast appeared to have received a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed after the beast in amazement.

4 They worshipped the dragon, because he had given his authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who can fight against it?"

5 It was given a mouth speaking arrogant blasphemies; and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.

6 So it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God to insult his name and his Sh'khinah, and those living in heaven;

7 it was allowed to make war on God's holy people and to defeat them; and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

8 Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

9 Those who have ears, let them hear!

 

Revelation 17:8 CJB

8 The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the Abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on earth whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not, but is to appear.

　

Revelation 21:27 CJB

Nothing impure may enter it, nor anyone who does shameful things or lies; the only ones who may enter are those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

 

 

　

Revelation 21:1-27 CJB

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there.

2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "See! God's Sh'khinah is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God.

4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will no longer be any death; and there will no longer be any mourning, crying or pain; because the old order has passed away."

5 Then the One sitting on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything new!" Also he said, "Write, 'These words are true and trustworthy!'"

6 And he said to me, "It is done! I am the 'A' and the 'Z,' the Beginning and the End. To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the Fountain of Life.

7 He who wins the victory will receive these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.

8 But as for the cowardly, the untrustworthy, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those involved with the occult and with drugs, idol-worshippers, and all liars - their destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death."

9 One of the seven angels having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues approached me and said, "Come! I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb."

10 He carried me off in the Spirit to the top of a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God.

11 It had the Sh'khinah of God, so that its brilliance was like that of a priceless jewel, like a crystal-clear diamond.

12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates; at the gates were twelve angels; and inscribed on the gates were the names of the twelve tribes of Isra'el.

13 There were three gates to the east, three gates to the north, three gates to the south and three gates to the west.

14 The wall of the city was built on twelve foundation-stones, and on these were the twelve names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.

15 The angel speaking with me had a gold measuring-rod with which to measure the city, its gates and its wall.

16 The city is laid out in a square, its length equal to its width. With his rod he measured the city at 1,500 miles, with length, width and height the same.

17 He measured its wall at 216 feet by human standards of measurement, which the angel was using.

18 The wall was made of diamond and the city of pure gold resembling pure glass.

19 The foundations of the city wall were decorated with all kinds of precious stones-the first foundation stone was diamond, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh turquoise and the twelfth amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate made of a single pearl. The city's main street was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22 I saw no Temple in the city, for ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, is its Temple, as is the Lamb.

 

 

 

CJB (The Complete Jewish Bible) - David & Martha Stern's photo is so gorgeous: 

23 The city has no need for the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God's Sh'khinah gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

 

24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

25 Its gates will never close, they stay open all day because night will not exist there,

26 and the honor and splendor of the nations will be brought into it.

27 Nothing impure may enter it, nor anyone who does shameful things or lies; the only ones who may enter are those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

 

Behold One King suddenly comes back!    May YHWH bless your spiritual seeking His Torah thru Yeshua is the Way, the Life, and the Truth no one comes to the Father except through me (Yeshua) I pray you take heed voice of YHWH thru His Sweet Ruach haKodesh reveal you pray read study and mediate on the Word/Torah daily in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Amein!

YHWH/Yeshua/Torah: Fall Festivals on 2015

Reminder sweet note of His Kadosh (Holy) Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah)

 

Leviticus 23:23-44

Fall Festivals

Yom Teruah (1 Tishri) on September 13, 2015 at sunset,

23Adonai spoke to Moses saying:

24"Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a Shabbat rest, a memorial of blowing (shofarot), a holy convocation.

25You are to do no regular work, and you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai."

 

　

Yom Kippur (10 Tishri) on September 22, 2015 at sunset,

26Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:

27"However, the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur, a holy convocation to you, so you are to afflict yourselves. You are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai.

28You are not to do any kind of work on that set day, for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Adonai your God.

29For anyone who does not deny himself on that day must be cut off from his people.

30Anyone who does any kind of work on that day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

31You should do no kind of work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32It is to be a Shabbat of solemn rest for you, and you are to humble your souls. On the ninth day of the month in the evening—from evening until evening—you are to keep your Shabbat."

 

 

Sukkot (15 Tishri) on September 27, 2015 at sunset,

33Adonai spoke to Moses saying:

34"Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, and say, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Feast of Sukkot, for seven days to Adonai.

35On the first day there is to be a holy convocation—you are to do no laborious work.

36For seven days you are to bring an offering by fire to Adonai. The eighth day will be a holy convocation to you, and you are to bring an offering by fire to Adonai. It is a solemn assembly—you should do no laborious work.

37"These are the moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Adonai—a burnt offering, a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, each on its own day,

38besides those of the Shabbatot of Adonai and besides your gifts, all your vows and all your freewill offerings which you give to Adonai.

39"So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you are to keep the Feast of Adonai for seven days. The first day is to be a Shabbat rest, and the eighth day will also be a Shabbat rest.

40On the first day you are to take choice fruit of trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and rejoice before Adonai your God for seven days.

41You are to celebrate it as a festival to Adonai for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations—you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.

42You are to live in sukkot for seven days. All the native-born in Israel are to live in sukkot,

43so that your generations may know that I had Bnei-Yisrael to dwell in sukkot when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Adonai your God."

44So Moses declared to Bnei-Yisrael the moadim of Adonai.

Joel 2 Chapter TLV

1Blow the shofar in Zion! Sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all living in the land tremble— for the day of Adonai is coming— surely it is near!

2A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as blackness spreads over the mountains. A great and mighty people— from antiquity there was never anything like it, nor after it ever again from generation to generation.

3A fire devours before them and behind them flame blazes up. Like the Garden of Eden is the land before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness. Nothing at all ever escapes them.

4Their appearance is like the appearance of horses— they gallop like war horses.

5Like the clatter of chariots, they leap on the tops of mountains, like crackling flame of fire devouring stubble, like a mighty horde in battle array.

6Before them peoples are in anguish. All faces become ashen gray.

7They run like mighty men. They climb a wall like men of war. They each march in line, never deviating from their ways.

8One does not crowd another. Each one marches on his own highway. They plunge through the weapons, never breaking off.

9They rush on the city, they run on the wall, they climb up into the houses, coming through the windows like a thief.

10Before them land quakes, heaven trembles, sun and moon become dark, stars withdraw their brightness.

11Adonai utters His voice before His army. For His camp is very vast—for mighty is it that carries out His word. For great is the day of Adonai— very terrifying! Who can endure it? 　

　

Call for Teshuvah

12"Yet even now" —it is a declaration of Adonai— "turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting."

13Rend your heart, not your garments, and turn to Adonai, your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abundant in mercy, and relenting about the calamity due.

14Who knows? He may turn and relent, and may leave a blessing behind Him —so there may be a grain offering and a drink offering for Adonai, your God. 　

　

Blow the Shofar

15Blow the shofar in Zion! Sanctify a fast; proclaim an assembly.

16Gather the people; sanctify the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even those nursing at breasts. Let the bridegroom come out from his bedroom and the bride from her chamber.

17Between the porch and the altar let the kohanim, ministers of Adonai, weep, and let them say: "Have pity, Adonai, on Your people. Don’t make Your heritage a scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’"

18Adonai will be zealous for His land, and have compassion on His people.

19Adonai will answer and say to His people: "Behold, I will send you the grain, the new wine, and the fresh oil, and you will be satisfied with it. I will no longer make you a mockery among the nations.

20"But I will remove the northern invader far from you—yes, I will banish him to a dry and desolate land— his vanguard into the Eastern Sea and his rearguard into the Western Sea. His odor will go up— Yes, his stench will rise." For He has done great things! 　

　

Rain and Restoration

21Do not fear, O land. Be glad! Rejoice! For Adonai has done great things.

22Do not be afraid, beasts of the field, for the desert pastures have sprouted, for the tree bears its fruit. Fig tree and vine yield their strength.

23So be glad, children of Zion, and rejoice in Adonai, your God. For He gives you the early rain for prosperity, Yes, He will bring down rain for you, the early and latter rain as before.

24The threshing floors will be full of grain and the vats will overflow with new wine and fresh oil.

25"I shall restore to you the years that the locust, the swarming locust, the canker-worm and the caterpillar have eaten— My great army that I sent among you."

26"You will surely eat and be satisfied, and praise the Name of Adonai your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. Never again will My people be shamed

27You will know that I am within Israel. Yes, I am Adonai your God —there is no other— Never again will My people be shamed."

Ephesians 2:10 TLV For we are His workmanship—created in Messiah Yeshua for good deeds, which God prepared beforehand so we might walk in them.

　

　

Ephesians 2 Chapter TLV Destined for Wrath, Saved by Grace

1You were dead in your trespasses and sins.

2At that time, you walked in the way of this world, in conformity to the ruler of the domain of the air—the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience.

3We too all lived among them in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind. By nature we were children of wrath, just like the others.

4But God was rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us.

5Even when we were dead in our trespasses, He made us alive together with Messiah. (By grace you have been saved!)

6And He raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua—

7to show in the olam ha-ba the measureless richness of His grace in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua.

8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves—it is the gift of God.

9It is not based on deeds, so that no one may boast.

10For we are His workmanship—created in Messiah Yeshua for good deeds, which God prepared beforehand so we might walk in them.

　

Jew and Gentile, One in Messiah

11Therefore, keep in mind that once you—Gentiles in the flesh—were called "uncircumcision" by those called "circumcision" (which is performed on flesh by hand).

12At that time you were separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13But now in Messiah Yeshua, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.

14For He is our shalom, the One who made the two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation. Within His flesh He made powerless the hostility—

15the law code of mitzvot contained in regulations. He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from the two groups, making shalom,

16and to reconcile both to God in one body through the cross—by which He put the hostility to death.

17And He came and proclaimed shalom to you who were far away and shalom to those who were near—

18for through Him we both have access to the Father by the same Ruach.

19So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.

20You have been built on the foundation made up of the emissaries and prophets, with Messiah Yeshua Himself being the cornerstone.

21In Him the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple for the Lord.

22In Him, you also are being built together into God’s dwelling place in the Ruach.

Shalom aleichem in Hebrew: שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם

In English: Peace be upon you

　

John 20:21 TLV

Yeshua said to them again, "Shalom aleichem! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."  

John 20 Chapter TLV

The Lamb of God is Resurrected

1Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it is still dark, Miriam from Magdala comes to the tomb. She sees that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb.

2So she comes running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Yeshua loved. She tells them, "They’ve taken the Master out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put Him!"

3Then Peter and the other disciple set out, going to the tomb.

4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first.

5Leaning in, he sees the linen strips lying there. But he didn’t go in.

6Then Simon Peter comes following him, and he entered the tomb. He looks upon the linen strips lying there,

7and the face cloth that had been on His head. It was not lying with the linen strips, but was rolled up in a place by itself.

8So then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also entered. He saw and believed.

9For they did not yet understand from Scripture that Yeshua must rise from the dead.

10So the disciples went back to their own homes.

Yeshua Appears to Miriam

11But Miriam stood outside the tomb weeping. As she was weeping, she bent down to look into the tomb.

12She sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where Yeshua’s body had been lying.

13"Woman, why are you crying?" they say to her. She says to them, "Because they took away my Master, and I don’t know where they’ve put Him."

14After she said these things, she turned around. And she sees Yeshua standing there. Yet she didn’t know that it was Yeshua.

15Yeshua says to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" Thinking He’s the gardener, she says to Him, "Sir, if You’ve carried Him away, tell me where You’ve put Him, and I will take Him away."

16Yeshua says to her, "Miriam!" Turning around, she says to Him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).

17Yeshua says to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father. Go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going up to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’"

18Miriam from Magdala comes, announcing to the disciples, "I’ve seen the Lord," and what He had said to her.

Yeshua Appears to the Disciples

19It was evening on that day, the first of the week. When the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Judean leaders, Yeshua came and stood in their midst! And He said to them, "Shalom aleichem!"

20After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21Yeshua said to them again, "Shalom aleichem! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

22And after He said this, He breathed on them. And He said to them, "Receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh!

23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; but if you hold back, they are held back."

24One of the Twelve, Thomas called the Twin, was not with them when Yeshua came.

25The other disciples were saying to him, "We’ve seen the Lord!" But he replied to them, "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand in His side, I will never believe!"

26Eight days later the disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Yeshua comes, despite the locked doors. He stood in their midst and said, "Shalom aleichem!"

27Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe!"

28Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

29Yeshua said to Him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed? Blessed are the ones who have not seen and yet have believed!"

The Reason for Signs and Wonders

30Yeshua performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book.

31But these things have been written so that you may believe that Yeshua is Mashiach Ben-Elohim, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

　

Shalom aleichem: John 20:21 TLV refers Isaiah 57:19 TLV

Creating the praise of lips: ‘Shalom, shalom to him who is far and to him who is near,’ says Adonai, ‘and I will heal him.’"

　

Isaiah 57 Chapter TLV

Remove Every Stumbling Block

1The righteous one perishes, but no one takes it to heart. Godly men are taken away, but no one discerns that the righteous man is taken from evil.

2He enters into shalom. They rest on their beds, each who walked in his integrity.

3But as for you, come here, you children of a sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and prostitute.

4Whom are you mocking? At whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit?

5You who burn with lust among the oaks and under every green tree, who sacrifice your children in the wadis and under the clefts of the rocks?

6Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion—they are your lot. To them you have even poured out a drink offering, made a grain offering. Shall I relent concerning these things?

7Upon a high and lofty mountain you made your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.

8Behind the door and the doorpost you have set up your memorial sign. For away from Me, you uncovered, went up and made your bed wide, and cut covenant with them. You loved their bed— you looked on their nakedness.

9You journeyed to the king with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You sent your ambassadors far away, and made them go down to Sheol.

10You wearied of the length of your way, yet you did not say, "It is hopeless!" You found renewed strength, so you did not weaken.

11"Whom was it you dreaded and feared, so that you lied. But you did not remember Me or take it to heart? Have I not kept silent a long time— yet you do not fear Me?

12I will expose your ‘righteousness’, and your deeds—they will not profit you.

13When you cry out, will your collection of idols save you? The wind will carry them off, a breath will take them away. But he who takes refuge in Me will possess the land, and will inherit My holy mountain."

14Then it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every stumbling block out of the way of My people."

15For thus says the High and Exalted One who inhabits eternity, whose Name is Holy: "I dwell in a high and holy place, yet also with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and revive the heart of the contrite.

16For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit would grow weak before Me, the breath of those whom I made.

17Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry; I struck him; I hid My face; I was angry—but he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

18I have seen his ways, but I will heal him. I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners.

19Creating the praise of lips: ‘Shalom, shalom to him who is far and to him who is near,’ says Adonai, ‘and I will heal him.’"

20But the wicked are like a troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters toss up mire and dirt.

21"There is no shalom," says my God "for the wicked."

Beware of false teacher(s) who teachs the spirit of error twisting scripture verses and deny Yeshua is YHWH (God). 

　

Flee!

　

1 John 4:1-6 TLV

Yeshua, the Ruach of Truth

1Loved ones, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2You know the Ruach Elohim by this—every spirit that acknowledges that Messiah Yeshua has come in human flesh is from God,

3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God. This is the spirit of the anti-messiah, which you have heard is coming and now is already in the world.

4You are from God, children, and you have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

5They are from the world, so they speak from the world and the world listens to them.

6We are from God; whoever knows God listens to us, but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

　

The above verse 3 warn you (me, everyone) is very powerful message-the Word of YHWH speak truth. Amein?

 

 

　

　

Shalom!

　

HalleluYAH! After sunset, tonight is 24 Elul.

Food thought of YHWH/Yeshua/Torah (Word):

Nowdays, there are foolish and ignorant disputes abusing the Word/Torah debates. I avoid debates abuse the Word/Torah even avoid falsehood teachers deny Yeshua is YHWH (God) according the Word/Torah. Learn to be satisfy the Word/Torah thru His Sweet Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit). Amein?

HalleluYAH! YHWH/Yeshua/Torah/Word cannot be separated.

　

I believe Yeshua is YHWH (God) according the Living Torah/Word. 100% divine and 100% human.  Amein?

Jude (Judah) 1 Chapter TLV

Greeting

1Judah, a slave of Yeshua the Messiah and brother of Jacob, To those who are called, who are loved in God the Father, and kept safe for Yeshua the Messiah:

2May mercy and shalom and love be multiplied to you!

 

Contend for the Faith with the Ungodly

3Loved ones, though very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I felt it necessary to write to you urging you to continue to contend for the faith that was once for all handed down to the kedoshim.

4For certain people have secretly slipped in—those who from long ago have been marked out for this judgment. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into indecency and deny our only Master and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.

5Now I wish to remind you—though you have come to know all things —that the Lord, once having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

6And the angels—who did not keep their own position of authority but deserted their proper place—He has kept in everlasting shackles under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great Day.

7In the same way as these angels, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them—having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after a different sort of flesh—are displayed as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

8Yet in the same way these people also, by their visionary dreaming, defile the flesh, reject the Lord’s authority, and defame glorious beings.

9But when Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, was arguing about the body of Moses, he did not dare to render a judgment against him for slander, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"

10But these people slander whatever they do not understand. And whatever they do understand instinctively—like animals without reason—by these things they are destroyed.

11Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain; they were consumed for pay in Balaam’s error; and in Korah’s rebellion they have been destroyed.

12These people are hidden rocky reefs at your love feasts—shamelessly feasting with you, tending only to themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, doubly dead, uprooted;

13wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

14It was also about these people that Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His kedoshim,

15to execute judgment against all. He will convict all the ungodly for all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and for all of the harsh things ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

16These are bellyaching grumblers, following after their own desires. Their mouth speaks grandiose things, showing favoritism for the sake of gain.

17But you, loved ones, ought to remember the words previously proclaimed by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah—

18how they kept telling you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly desires."

19These are the ones who cause divisions—worldly-minded, not having the Ruach

20But you, loved ones, continue building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

21Keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah that leads to eternal life.

22And have mercy on those who are wavering—

23save them by snatching them out of the fire; but on others have mercy with fear—hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

 

Hymn to God Our Savior

24Now to the One who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy,

25to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, both now and forever. Amen.

 

The above verses 24-25 show beautiful. The Only God Our Savior through Yeshua haMashiyach our Master Amein?

　

　

　

1 Timothy 1 Chapter TLV

Greeting

1Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the command of God our Savior and Messiah Yeshua, our hope.

2To Timothy, a true child in faith: Grace, mercy, shalom from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua, our Lord!

 

Beware of False Teachers

3As I urged you, when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay in Ephesus to direct certain people not to pass on different instruction,

4or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These give rise to useless speculations rather than God’s training which is in faithfulness.

5Now the goal of this command is love from of a pure heart and a clear conscience and a genuine faith.

6Some, having missed the mark, have turned away to fruitless discussion—

7wanting to be teachers of Torah, even though they do not understand what they keep saying or what they so dogmatically assert.

8But we know that the Torah is good if one uses it legitimately,

9knowing that the Torah is not given for a tzaddik but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and worldly, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

10the sexually immoral, homosexuals, slave-traders, liars, perjurers, and for anything else that opposes sound teaching—

11in keeping with what was entrusted to me, the glorious Good News of the blessed God.

Mercy to the Worst of Sinners

12I thank Messiah Yeshua our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, appointing me to service—

13even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. Yet I was shown mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

14and the grace of our Lord overflowed with the faith and love that are in Messiah Yeshua.

15Trustworthy is the saying and deserving of complete acceptance: "Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners"—of whom I am foremost.

16Yet for this reason I was shown mercy—so that in me as the foremost, Messiah Yeshua might demonstrate His complete patience, as an example for those about to put their trust in Him for eternal life.

17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

 

Fight the Good Fight

18This charge I entrust to you, Timothy my son, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, so that by them you fight the good fight,

19holding onto faith and a good conscience. By rejecting these, some have suffered shipwreck regarding their faith.

20Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to satan to be disciplined not to blaspheme.

　

　

　

2 Timothy 2 Chapter TLV

Disciples from Generation to Generation

1Therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.

2And what you have heard from me among many witnesses, entrust to faithful people who will be capable to teach others also.

3Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.

4No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the activities of everyday life, so that he might please the one who enlisted him.

5Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned victorious unless he competes according to the rules.

6The hard-working farmer ought to receive the first share of the crops.

7Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

8Remember Yeshua the Messiah, raised from the dead, from the seed of David—according to my Good News.

9For this I suffer hardship as a criminal, even to the point of chains—though the word of God is not chained.

10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, so they might obtain the salvation that is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.

11Trustworthy is the saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

12if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

13if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

 

A Workman with the Word

14Remind them of these things and solemnly charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which is useless—to the ruin of those who are listening.

15Make every effort to present yourself before God as tried and true, as an unashamed worker cutting a straight path with the word of truth.

16But avoid godless chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness

17and their words will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymeneaus and Philetus—

18men who have missed the mark concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place. They are overturning the faith of some.

19Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness."

20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay—some for honor and some for common use.

21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor—sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

22Now flee from youthful desires; instead, pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and shalom, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

23But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they produce quarrels.

24The Lord’s slave must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, tolerant.

25Let him give guidance with humility to those who are in opposition—perhaps God may grant them a change of mind, leading to the knowledge of truth.

26Then they may regain their senses and escape the devil’s snare, in which they had been held captive by him to do his will.

　

　

Titus 3 Chapter TLV Be Ready for Good Deeds

1Remind the people to be submitted to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,

2to slander no one, without fighting, gentle, showing every courtesy to all people.

3For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deluded, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared—

5not by deeds of righteousness which we had done ourselves, but because of His mercy— He saved us through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing of the Ruach ha-Kodesh,

6whom He abundantly poured out on us through Messiah Yeshua our Savior,

7so that being set right by His grace, we might become heirs with the confident hope of eternal life!

8Trustworthy is the saying, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people.

9But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.

10Dismiss a quarrelsome person after a first and second warning,

11knowing that such a person is twisted and is sinning—he is self- condemned.

Final Words

12When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry to come to me in Nicopolis, for I have decided to winter there.

13Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with great care, so that nothing is lacking for them.

14And let our people learn to devote themselves to doing mitzvot to meet urgent needs, so they will not be unfruitful.

15All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

Psa 56:3 My foes trample me all day. For many are fighting me arrogantly.

Psa 56:4 In a day when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.

Psa 56:5 In God—I keep praising His word—in God I trust, I will not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?

Psa 56:6 All day they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

Psa 56:7 They stir up strife; they lie hidden. They mark my steps, eager to take my soul.

Song of Songs 5 Chapter TLV    Awake and Waiting

1I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey. I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, Drink, yes, drink your fill, O lovers!

2I sleep, but my heart is awake. A voice! My lover is knocking! “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my perfect one! For my head is drenched with dew, my locks with dewdrops of night.”

3I have stripped off my coat. How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet. How can I soil them?

4My lover extended his hand through the opening —my heart yearned for him.

5I rose to open for my lover. My hands dripped with myrrh, yes, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

6I opened to my lover— but my lover had departed, he was gone! My soul went out to him when he spoke. I searched for him, but did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer me.

7The guards making rounds in the city found me. They beat me, bruised me. The guards on the walls took my veil from me.

8Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you, if you should find my lover, what will you tell him? That I am sick from love!

9How is your lover different from other lovers, O most beautiful among women? How is your lover different from other lovers that you charge us so?

10My lover is dazzling and ruddy, standing out among ten thousand.

11His head is purest gold, his hair is wavy, black as a raven.

12His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, washed with milk, mounted in their settings.

13His cheeks are like a bed of spice, towers of sweet-scented perfume. His lips are lilies, dripping with liquid myrrh.

14His hands are rods of gold set with jasper. His abdomen is carved ivory inlaid with sapphires.

15His legs are pillars of alabaster set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon— excellent like the cedars.

16His mouth is sweetness. Yes, he is totally desirable. This is my lover! Yes, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

 

New update about "Friend of YHWH"

John 3:29 TLV

29The one who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the best man rejoices when he stands and hears the bridegroom’s voice. So now my joy is complete!

　

Exodus 33:11 TLV So Adonai spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the Tent.

　

Exodus 33:7-23 TLV Show Me Your Glory!

7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the Tent of Meeting. So it happened, everyone who sought Adonai would go out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

8Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would arise and stand, everyone at the door of his own tent, and look after Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

9After Moses entered, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door, and He would speak with Moses.

10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the Tent, they all rose up and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his own tent.

11So Adonai spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the Tent.

12So Moses said to Adonai "You say to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.’

13Now then, I pray, if I have found grace in Your eyes, show me Your ways, so that I may know You, so that I might find favor in Your sight. Consider also that this nation is Your people."

14"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest," He answered.

15But then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with me, don’t let us go up from here!

16For how would it be known that I or your people have found favor in Your sight? Isn’t it because You go with us, that distinguishes us from all the people on the face of the earth?"

17Adonai answered Moses, "I will also do what you have said, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name."

18Then he said, "Please, show me Your glory!"

19So He said, "I will cause all My goodness to pass before you, and call out the Name of Adonai before you. I will be gracious toward whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will be merciful."

20But He also said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live."

21Then Adonai said, "See, a place near Me—you will stand on the rock.

22While My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and cover you with My hand, until I have passed by.

23Then I will take away My hand, and you will see My back, but My face will not be seen."

　

John 15:15 TLV

15"I am no longer calling you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. Now I have called you friends, because everything I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

　

John 15 Chapter TLV Abiding in the Vine

1"I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener.

2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit.

3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

4Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me.

5"I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing.

6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and is dried up. Such branches are picked up and thrown into the fire and burned.

7"If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.

8In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples."

9"Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love!

10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be full.

12"This is My commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you.

13No one has greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.

14You are My friends if you do what I command you.

15"I am no longer calling you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. Now I have called you friends, because everything I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

16"You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I selected you so that you would go and produce fruit, and your fruit would remain. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name.

17"These things I command you, so that you may love one another."

The World Hates God’s Own

18"If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you.

19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But you are not of the world, since I have chosen you out of the world; therefore the world hates you.

20"Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

21"But all these things they will do to you for the sake of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

23"He who hates Me also hates My Father.

24If I had not done works among them that no one else did, they would have no sin. But now they have seen and have hated both Me and My Father.

25So is fulfilled the word written in their Scripture, ‘They hated Me for no reason.’

26"When the Helper comes—whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—He will testify about Me.

27And you also testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning."

　

　

James 2:23 TLV The Scripture was fulfilled that says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness"—and he was called God’s friend.

　

James 2:14-26 TLV

Show Faith with Works

14What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works? Can such faith save him?

15If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food,

16and one of you says to them, "Go in shalom, keep warm and well fed, " but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is that?

17So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.

18But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works.

19You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder!

20But do you want to know, you empty person, that faith without works is dead?

21Wasn’t Abraham our father proved righteous by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

22You see that faith worked together with his works, and by the works his faith was made complete.

23The Scripture was fulfilled that says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness"—and he was called God’s friend.

24You see that a man is proved righteous by works and not by faith alone.

25And likewise, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also proved righteous by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out another way?

26For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Tonight is 21 Elul.

 

Malachi 3:16

 

 

 

 

This poor widow drop two coins in the Temple.   Yeshua spoke about this poor widow has put in more than all the rest.

 

 

Shalom! Today is 19 Elul.

YHWH/Yeshua/Torah cannot be separated. 

 

Exodus 20:15 TLV Do not steal.

Yeshua the Living Word/Torah spoke warning:   "Beware of the Torah scholars"

 

 

 

 

Luke 20:45-47 TLV "Beware of the Torah scholars"

45Then with all the people listening, Yeshua said to the disciples,

46"Beware of the Torah scholars, who like to walk around in long robes. They love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at feasts.

47They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers as a show. These men will receive greater condemnation!"

　

Luke 21:1-4 TLV Teaching in the Temple

1Then Yeshua looked up and saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury box.

2He also saw a poor widow dropping in two small copper coins.

3And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all the rest.

4For all these put in their gifts from their surplus. But she, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on."

Luke 21:1-4 refers Mark 12:41-44

　

Mark 12:35-44 Who Is King David’s Lord?

35While Yeshua was teaching in the Temple, He said, "How is it that the Torah scholars say that the Messiah is Ben-David?

36David himself, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh, said, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet."’

37If David himself calls Him ‘Lord,’ in what way is He his son?" And the large crowd was listening to Him with delight.

38In His teaching He said, "Watch out for the Torah scholars, who like to walk around in long robes. They like greetings in the marketplaces,

39the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at feasts.

40They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers as a show. These men will receive greater condemnation!"

41He sat down opposite the treasury and began watching how the people were putting money into the offering box. Many rich people were putting in a lot.

42Then a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.

43Calling His disciples over, He said to them, "Amen, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those contributing to the box!

44For they all put in from their surplus; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had, her whole living."

　

The above verse 42 show: two small copper coins worth less than a penny.

Warning to the Servants of YHWH/Yeshua/Torah:

 

Read on 1 Corinthians 6:7,8, and 10 ....thieves...greedy...

 

1Co 6:1 Does any one of you, when he has a matter against his neighbor, dare to go to court before the unrighteous and not before the kedoshim?

1Co 6:2 Don’t you know that the kedoshim will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to judge trivial matters?

1Co 6:3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more the matters of this life!

1Co 6:4 So if you have courts for matters of this life, why do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the community?

1Co 6:5 I say this to put you to shame! Isn’t there even one wise man among you who will be able to settle disputes between his brethren?

1Co 6:6 Instead, a brother goes to court against a brother—and before unbelievers at that!

1Co 6:7 Therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you have lawsuits among yourselves. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

1Co 6:8 But you yourselves do wrong and cheat—and against your brothers and sisters at that!

1Co 6:9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, those who practice homosexuality,

1Co 6:10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

1Co 6:11 That is what some of you were—but you were washed, you were made holy, you were set right in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the Ruach of our God.

1Co 6:12 Everything is permitted for me"—but not everything is helpful. "Everything is permitted for me"—but I will not be controlled by anything.

1Co 6:13 "Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food"—but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

1Co 6:14 Now God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

1Co 6:15 Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take the members of Messiah and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

1Co 6:16 Or don’t you know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said, "The two shall become one flesh."

1Co 6:17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

1Co 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality! Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body—but the one committing sexual immorality sins against his own body.

1Co 6:19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Ruach ha-Kodesh who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

1Co 6:20 For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
