I Hate Falsehood, I detest it; but I love your Torah













TEHILLIM (Psalm 119:161 - 168)

ש (Shin)

161 - 162

Princes persecute me for no reason, but my heart stands in awe of your words. I take joy in your promise, like someone who finds much booty.

163 - 164

I hate falsehood, I detest it; but I love your Torah. I prasise you seven times a day because of your righteous rulings.

165 - 166

Those who love your Torah have great peace; nothing makes them stumble. I hope for your deliverance, Adonai; I obey your mitzvot.

167 - 168

My soul observes your instruction, and I love it so much! I observe your precepts and instruction, for all my ways lie open before you.



Reference: The Complete Jewish Bible


Let us take some time to think. We are facing falsehood, we have an abundant source of false teachers, We have many who are adding to and taking away from the word of Yahweh. There are many who ignore and hate the Torah, these same people have given themselves over to their false gods and the traditions of men. Yet many of them say they follow Yeshua HaMashiach but they do not keep His commandments. Now is the time to turn back to Yahweh, if you love Him, then keep His Commandments. Abandon the philosophy of vain deceit, make Teshuva and return to Him.

Come on people, you see what is going on in the world today, will you be ready when He comes for you, or will you be caught of your guard by having fell asleep listening to the mindless chatter of the lawless. And hear the words from the Messiah who will say, "Be gone from me I never knew you".

Depression!

Famous persons are under siege in this Nation. Fame, the state of being famous such as superstars, stars, personalities, celebrities, big shots, household names and public figures. People who are famous during their life time have been or are being held hostage to a demonic sickness called depression.

It should be obvious that people who have no relationship with Yahweh are missing out on the greatest love, compassion and patence ever known to mankind.

Lets examin the fact that Yahweh never loses sight of those who love Him.

Deuteronomy 31:8 “… It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Deuteronomy 32:10: In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye.

Psalms 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Psalms 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.

When your hope and trust is in Yahweh, you can call upon Him.

Psalms 3:3 But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

Psalms 32:10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.

Psalms 37:3-4 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalms 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Yahweh has great plans for you, If you know Him, then hang in there, if you do not know Him, then do yourself a favor and get to know Him.

Consider this:

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

SUMMARY

Many people reject Yahweh, they want nothing to do Him. They have chosen to go their own way, and so scripture tells us this: 

Proverbs 12:15  The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

And so it is with those who live their lives without Yahweh.

"Can the dry bones of Israel live again?"


                                               Ezekiel 37:1-14 (New International Version)

The Valley of Dry Bones

The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life.




6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’


12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”


One Nation Under One King



15 The word of the Lord came to me:
 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’
17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.
18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’
19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’
20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on
21 and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.
23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[b] and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 “‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.
25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.
26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.
27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”

The Spirit of Moloch

Is the spirit of Moloch still with us? What is the warning given to us about Moloch? The warning says "You are not to give any of your children to be sacrificed to this spirit, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD". (1)

King Solomon, the wisest and richest man on the earth during his day and he had many wives. 700 to be exact, wives, many of them were princesses, including 300 concubine's. Definitely a violation of Yahweh's law concerning marriage and yes he followed in the footsteps of his great ancestors, Abraham, Jacob, his father David, King Saul, Caleb. But I wonder how many children did he allow to be sacrificed to the pagan idol Moloch. How many of them did he allow to pass through the fire? How many were burned alive? Solomon's father was notorious when it came to women, but David did not worship the pagan idol Moloch, he did not sacrifice any of his children to idol's. (2)

Solomon had a sexual lust problem. One woman can be a handful for any man, but 1,000 of them and the bulk of them foreigners worshiping idols and other gods, again a violation of the Fathers commandments. When a man is unsatisfied with the woman God gave to him, the problem must be place on his shoulders and not on his wife. For such a wise man, we must conclude that, Solomon eventually understood the ancient proverb that says  " Hell and Destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied". (3)

So what is this business about the spirit of Moloch? The question is, is this spirit still present in our society?

Phoenicia was a loosely gathered group of people who inhabited Canaan (modern day Lebanon, Syria, and Israel) between 1550 BC and 300 BC. In addition to sexual rituals, Moloch/Molech worship included child sacrifice, or “passing children through the fire.” It is believed that giant metal statues were made of a man with a bull’s head, either with a hole in his abdomen or outstretched forearms that made a kind of ramp to a hole in his torso. A fire was lit in or around the statue. Babies were placed in the statue’s arms or in the hole. If a couple sacrificed their first born, they believed that Moloch/Molech would ensure financial prosperity for the family and future children. (see reference's).

This brings up an interesting thought! Has the spirit of Moloch changed its method of operation? For many peoples of the world abortion would ensure financial prosperity for a family and future children. Please visit my recent article at http://voices.yahoo.com/sex-selective-abortions-worldwide-11814093.html?cat=25. Think about what is going on in our world? Is there really much difference in the mindset of todays human being than that from the human beings form the days of old? Do you get the feeling that we are the same now as we were in the past? Can you imagine how Yahweh felt when He saw the depth's of Solomon's ethic and moral character deteriorate to the point where he gave in to, and participated in this disgusting practice.

After you have thought about this, you should come to the conclusion, that in spite of our education and technological know how, deep down in side of us we are as wicked as ever.

Hearing with no understanding - Seeing but not identifying


What have you been hearing? What have you been seeing? What does Adonai say concerning what He hears and sees? Adonai wants to know, who shall He send? The Servants of Adonai are in the same position that Isaiah was in. Isaiah said to Adonai, “Here am I send me”, and Adonai said to Isaiah “Go and tell these people: be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving”. The whole world has been hearing and seeing the results of fear. The people of this planet are afraid; they are terrified, scared, frightened and full of worry. They are anxious about everything; constantly sieged with panic and alarmed about things they cannot see. Many people reject the Gospel and Yahwehs free gift of salvation through faith. The people are full of unbelief and turn away from Yahwehs gracious love. Those who could not see can now see and those who see are blind. The human race will refuse to see what they do not want to see and refuse to listen to what they need to hear.11
 

Man sees things and hears things in the natural. He lacks the ability to know how to see and hear as Yahweh because he is spiritually discerned. The natural man does not have the spirit of Yahweh in him because it is foolishness to him. The message of the cross makes no sense and therefore what he sees and hears about Yeshua is rejected. The natural man comes first and then comes the spiritual man. But the spiritual man is never birthed; it is aborted, rejected and cast into the dung pile. The natural man has wisdom that does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, and of the devil. This is why the human race lives their life in trepidation.12

Yahweh looks at the human race and He sees it heading for destruction. Mankind looks at themselves and their environment and believes that they can solve the problems and issues that develop on their own. Whoever belongs to Yahweh hears what Yahweh says. The reason why the others do not hear is because they do not belong to Yahweh. They are hard at work removing Yahweh from their families, community and nation. The whole human race is vexed.13

Yahweh has provided assurances for the world. Yahweh looks at His creation and says “I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand my mysterious plan, which is Yeshua himself”. Yeshua is Yahwehs mysterious plan for the world. Salvation is the “mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints” who is now preaching the Gospel of the Yeshua throughout the world. 14

 
These are important statements to think about, selah
 
Review the scriptures and references in the footnotes. Try to understand and think of how the whole world is under the spell of vexation. There is a worldwide annoyance in progress. There are so many areas that are problematic, people are displeased and troubled. Societies are looking for calm, ways to be pacified, how to live an uncomplicated life, be placated and enlightened. The big difficulty is that the human race cannot have peace without Yahweh.

We have an enemy. He sees and hears. He opposes the kingdom of Yahweh. The enemy is the master of vexation. He is a visionary for creating deception. There is just enough truth in his lies to make you believe it is the truth. This enemy lacks honesty.

Yahweh looks at the human race and sees no justice. Isaiah 59:15 (CBJ) says, “Honesty is lacking, he who leaves evil becomes a target. Adonai saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice”.

Yahweh sees how man treats the poor, the widow and the fatherless. Isaiah 10:2 (CBJ) tells us that the evil man’s goal is “to deprive the impoverish of justice and to rob my people's poor of their rights, looting widows and preying on orphans!”.

Yahweh is looking at these crooks, the rogue’s of our society, the rascal’s, villains and cheat’s. These persons are unfit to be called heroes for the defenseless. Listen to what the scripture says. “The mean persons means are mean - he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor and needy with lies, even when their cause is just”, Isaiah 32:7 (CBJ).

“The eyes of Adonai are everywhere, watching the evil and the good”. Proverbs 15:3 (CBJ).

 
Think on these things, look at your environment, listen to its communications and you will see and hear destruction coming.
