Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 1:2 LSV
Referring to God as “Father” would be familiar to Greeks and Romans because they referred to Zeus and Jupiter in the same way, but it takes them out of their former pagan family and adopts them into a new monotheistic family.

YOM SHLISHY – THIRD DAY OF THE WEEK
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Blessed be He who spoke and the world was; Blessed be He – and blessed be His Name.
TEHILLAH 51
Be gracious to me, O Elohym, according to Your mercy; according to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O Elohym, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Ruach Haqodesh from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will be converted to You. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O Elohym, the Elohym of my salvation; thenmy tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. Adonai, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise. For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of Elohym are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohym, You will not despise. By Your grace do excellence to Zion; build the walls of Yerushalayim. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
TEHILLAH 27
YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YHWH is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from YHWH, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of YHWH all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of YHWH, and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to YHWH. Hear, YHWH, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, YHWH, I shall seek.” Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, O Elohym of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but YHWH will take me up. Teach me Your way, YHWH, and lead me in a level path because of my foes. Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the excellence of YHWH in the land of the living. Wait for YHWH; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for YHWH.
BEN ADAM
Son of man! Why do you slumber? Arise and call out in supplication; pour out words of prayer; seek forgiveness from the Master of masters. Wash and purify yourself; do not delay before the days depart, and hurriedly run for help before He who dwells on high. From transgression and also evil flee, and be dreadful of tragedy. O, please pay heed to those who know Your name – the loyal ones of Yisrael. For Yours, Adonay, is righteousness, and ours is nothing but shame.
Stand up like a man and be courageous, to confess your sins. Seek El Almighty in earnest to atone for your sins, for never are hidden secrets from Him. And every utterance that is spoken is read before Him. May He who is merciful have mercy upon us, as a father has mercy for his children. For Yours Adonay is righteousness and ours is nothing but shame.
VIDDUY
I make my sin known to You and do not conceal my iniquity; for I said that it is proper that I confess my transgressions to YHWH, and as a result, You have forgiven the iniquity of my sins. And it is stated: He who conceals his transgressions will not succeed, but he, who admits and forsakes them, shall be dealt with mercifully.
Please, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, let our prayer come before You, and do not hide Yourself from our supplication – for we are not so insolent nor so obstinate to say before You, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, “we are righteous and have not sinned,” rather, truly we have sinned – we as well as our forefathers and our household members:
(With each of the following statements, bring your right fist to your chest, over your heart.)
We have been guilty. We have betrayed. We have robbed. We have spoken gossip and slander. We have caused iniquity. We have caused wickedness. We have acted wantonly. We have extorted. We have accused falsely. We have given bad advice. We have lied. We have acted frivolously. We have rebelled. We have infuriated. We have committed adultery. We have been deviant. We have committed iniquity. We have transgressed willfully. We have oppressed. We have been obstinate. We have been wicked. We have corrupted ourselves and others. We have committed abominations. We have strayed and caused others to stray, and we have veered from Your excellent commandments and laws, but it has not benefited us. But You are righteous regarding all that has befallen us, for You have acted with truth, and it is we who have caused wickedness.
YHWH, DALU EYNAY LAMAROM
YHWH, my eyes are raised to the heavens. In my distress I call out to YHWH. My spirit was enveloped within me from my excessive anger and grief, and I poured out my soul before YHWH. Yah, hearken to my statement and perform for me a sign for excellence. Many have You performed, YHWH. I became destitute, and He saved me, El, righteous and a savior. For Your salvation I hope, YHWH. When my enemy rises up against me, my heart shall not fear, and I shall rely upon You, YHWH. My hand is raised through You, my Fortress, and not through my sword, for not through the sword and the spear does YHWH save. My enemies have prevailed, and above me they raise themselves. With regard to these will You be restrained, YHWH? Why do You conceal Your countenance while the enemy surrounds me? A zealous and vengeful El is YHWH. I place counsel in my soul, and I grieve within my heart. Will YHWH forsake me forever? For Your mercy I have hoped, because for You, YHWH, I have waited. You will answer me, YHWH, my Elohym.
EILEYKA YHWH
Toward You, YHWH, I have raised up my eyes; hear the sound of my pleas as befits Your great kindness. I have trusted in Your Name and have spread out my palms; I have taken words and have come unto You. My sorrows have been overpowering and my groans have increased, for all of my sins have You set before You. My delicate soul dissipates from grief; release from anxiety the soul of Your servant. Remove my sin, O Elohym of my salvation; also my tears may You place in Your flask. In times of anger, Your mercy may You recall and reconsider, and gladden and console the soul of Your servant.
Our Father, our King, You are our Father! Our Father, our King, we have no King but You! Our Father, our King, have mercy on us! Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, although we do not possess excellent deeds.
Deal with us with righteousness and kindness for the sake of Your great Name, and save us. And we know not what more to do, but our eyes look to You. Recall Your mercies and kindnesses, YHWH, for they have existed from ever. May Your kindness be upon us, YHWH, as we have hoped in You.
QADDISH
Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world that He created according to His will. May His kingdom reign, and may He cause His redemption to sprout, and may He hasten the coming of His Mashiach in your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire house of Yisrael, speedily and very soon; and let us say: Amein!
May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed, lauded, esteemed, exalted, extolled, honored, upraised, and praised be the Name of the set-apart One; Blessed be He; above all the blessings, songs, praises and words of consolation that may be uttered in the world; and let us say: Amein!
May your prayers and pleas be accepted together with the prayers and pleas of the entire house of Yisrael before our Father in heaven and earth, in the name of Yehoshua HaMashiach; and let us say: Amein!
May there be abundant shalom from heaven, life, contentment, salvation, consolation, deliverance, healing, redemption, pardon, atonement, comfort and relief for us and for His entire nation Yisrael; and let us say: Amein!
HON TAHON
Be merciful to Your children who are returning to You, and who stand before You with trepidation, fearful of the time they will be called to judgment; it is for that reason that they come in distress. Recall compassion on the Day of Judgment; do away with anger and wrath at the time You will judge those who fear You and those who dwell on Your Name – they who are sitting in judgment. Bring near to me the year of the Redeemer, and redeem me; upon restful waters, O Elohym, lead me, and recall for me the merit of the perfect man, Yehoshua HaMashiach, and place me like a seal upon Your heart. Amein!
Psalm 54:1, “Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!” Believed to be written as Saul was searching for him, David calls out to our Creator for salvation and asks to be cleared of all wrongdoing. David’s plea for help is not unlike ours today, everyone needs the Creator’s help with either physical, emotional or spiritual problems sometime in their life and God is always there to offer HIs help — His way, if you’re willing to accept it.

WORD FOR TODAY “do you need the third temple built, before MESSIAH returns?”: Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 23:13 Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. Pro 23:14 You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol.

It is indeed very interesting how many viewpoints folks have of the same passage. Most of the trouble though comes from people starting with what in hermeneutics is called “pre-understanding” instead of what is required which is a perspective of Tabula Raza or blank slate. In other words, taking everything we have learned from extrabiblical theology and doctrine developed over later ages, all family tradition and cultural indoctrination and set them aside…to resolve to know nothing but the text as written in its grammatical, historical and cultural context. Unfortunately the vast majority of people who bother to study the Bible do so from their preferred translated version viewed through the knowledge of later developed doctrines and interpretations and of the fewer who bother to study the manuscripts of the Bible they too tend to view the Text from a prejudiced late Christian perspective usually framed around a medieval British cultural structure especially here in the West, instead of a first century Hebraic one, that of the people in the stories being studied. It’s almost universal that those who read about Yeshua and decide He taught against Torah have little to no knowledge of Torah at all, its details and nature and promises.
When we start from where they were, however and build our understanding from there the Scriptures don’t need to be twisted to fit external narratives but flow unbroken from start to finish, with Moses delivering Torah & foretelling the coming Messiah, prophets sent to call the rebellious people back to Torah, then Yeshua showing up to do likewise & be the one Moses said would come to complete the Torah, to establish it and to strengthen it. If we start with the later gentile perspective however we will redefine Torah as the “Jewish law” and call it a curse and be glad we are freed from what Yeshua called life and blessing.
Around here we don’t really do the “agree to disagree thing” since these issues aren’t open to interpretation or opinion. (Sadly for so long the studies have been dominated by those foreign to the culture of the text and the tongue and the people of the Scriptures. So that now almost everyone is infected with that viewpoint.)That’s not a knock on anyone either. It takes so much self-assessment & scrutiny to crawl out of the doctrinal trap set for us over the centuries.
Very much like getting out of the Matrix in the movies…until we wake up and see the real world we can’t understand the fake one made to fool our minds for so long.
No one starts out fully awake and true unbiased study is a series of stages of waking up. It starts with lucid dreaming and then opening our eyes and not rightly discerning dream from reality. Hiding your eyes from the harsh light of day, while stumbling to the coffee machine and slowly gaining wakefulness bit by bit.
Questioning Everything is the only way to wake from blind obedience.
Question what you are expected to believe. Question what everyone is so certain of but never checked out. Even question the tenses you use… people say, “Yeshua ‘was’ a Jew”….yes, but what if He Whom Scripture says is the same yesterday, today, and forever still “is” a Jew? What if He “will be”returning as a Jew soon? What if that’s what He taught us to be and to do? Or what if He came to fulfill the prophecies of restoring all the other tribes of Israel and taught us how to live obedient lives in accordance with Scripture and our Israelite citizenship?
Questioning Everything is the only thing we encourage people to do. If you truly believe all that you say about the importance of knowing the Old Testament and Torah in order to understand the New Testament and the teachings of Yeshua, you will do well in time. You may disagree with us now on matters that were never up for debate until a century after Yeshua’s ascension. But if you keep questioning everything, who knows what you will believe in years to come.
None of us start out knowing the truth of Scripture. We usually start out fast asleep , buried deep in orthodox doctrine or walking in lockstep with every approved church position …until we encounter opposing doctrines in violation of the laws of logic. We tested them and with the slightest challenge one or more dogmas crumble. Then we tested more.
The usual takeaway is that we are knowitalls art this point, when we say that the definitive issues not open to interpretation which the church has chosen to definitively declare as being the opposite of what is written, are infact not open to interpretation.
When we study the Torah we find it declared to be established to the end of time with no expiration date nor the ability to invent one. Its end is the destruction of heaven and earth. When we don’t begin with church doctrine as the established perspective and instead restore the original view point of the Torah as the foundation, back when it all began, no matter how unfamiliar, then we find the prophecies of Messiah restoring Israel not establishing a new entity called a church or a new religion called Christianity.
When we start with the beginning we find Torah is said to be life and blessing, light and truth…and not until Greco-Roman philosophers dominated the assemblies in the 3rd generation did the notion of an end to its perfection come into perspective…a view brought about by those who had no knowledge or consideration of the subject…and possessed a mindset that all this stuff was Jewish and therefore “other”.
But when we start to ask questions about everything, especially why we should assume a set of instructions, spoken by the Creator Himself to all His people not just Jews, are somehow just for the Jews or elsewise abolished, even though they are said to stand as long as heaven and earth, we find our former beliefs to be baleful lies.
Or we wonder why we can think that our Savior violated these righteous principles the breaking of which is the eternal measurement of sin, and yet somehow still qualify as our payment for our own breaking of them? Questions. Questions. Questions

"The same soul that sinneth, shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son, but the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."
Eze 18
Thought for Today: Tuesday September 09
Has it ever bothered you that some people who turn their backs on YHVH seem to go through life without ever having anything bad happen to them? We do not know their hearts. We also need to remember that YHVH sees the whole picture, while we see only a little part. Elohiym knows what He is doing, and He can be trusted to do what is right according to His Perfect plan. Sadly, these people will one day die and face Him. YHVH’s goodness to them should have caused them to turn to Him in thankfulness and trust, but instead they ignored His blessings and lived only for themselves. How tragic to enter eternity unprepared.

YOM SHENY – SECOND DAY OF THE WEEK
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Blessed be He who spoke and the world was; Blessed be He – and blessed be His Name.
TEHILLAH 32
How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit! When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to YHWH”; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. Therefore, let everyone who is righteous pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, otherwise they will not come near to you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in YHWH, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in YHWH and rejoice, you righteous ones; and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
TEHILLAH 27
YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YHWH is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread?

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, YHWH, I shall seek.” Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, O Elohym of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but YHWH will take me up. Teach me Your way, YHWH, and lead me in a level path because of my foes.

YHWH YACHYD
YHWH, Who is unique, the hearts of all people does He scrutinize. He performs great acts that are unfathomable. And it became evening and it became morning – a second day. Hear the supplication of Your servant and his statement, who shoulders the burden of exile. On the day of his falling, to raise him there is only One, and not another. Recall the covenant with Your beloved ones for a people crying out before You – the children of Ya’akob, Your servants, and He commanded also the second one. My Beloved, hear the supplications and consider their prayers as offerings in the merit of those who offered sacrifices – N’thanel, son of Tzuar, on the second day. Turn Your ear to the prayer of Your people and send us Your righteous Mashiach, and we will offer sacrifices before You – one sheep in the morning and the second sheep. Strengthen my heart, my King, and hasten to illuminate my darkness if my way is hidden. Bring success, please, to Your servant on the second day.
