48 Shoph’tym – Day 3
D’varym 18:1-5
“The priests, the Lewites, all the tribe of Lewi, have no part nor inheritance with Yisra’el. They are to eat the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and His inheritance.
“But among his brothers Lewi has no inheritance. YHWH is his inheritance, as He has spoken to him.
“And this is the priest’s right from the people, from those who slaughter a sacrifice, whether it is bull or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach; the first-fruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you give to him.
“For YHWH your Elohim has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the Name of YHWH, him and his sons forever.
TEHILLAH 82 – DAY 3 (YOM SHLISHY)
Elohim stands in the congregation of Ěl; He judges in the midst of the elohim.
How long would you judge perversely, And show partiality to the wrong? Selah.
Give judgment to the poor and fatherless, Do right to the afflicted and needy.
Rescue the poor and needy; Deliver them from the hand of the wrong.
They do not know, nor do they understand, They walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I, I said, “You are elohim, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
“But as men you die, And fall as one of the heads.”
Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth, For You shall possess all the nations.

~ Peace to you, my brothers, in the name of YHWH our Father, our King.
Tamiym tihyeh im YHWH Eloheyka
~ “Perfect you shall be with YHWH Eloheyka.”
The word tamiym in our pesuk is often translated in various ways according to the whims of translators.
However, its meaning is truly quite singular – it means perfect, as in completed and whole.
The command to be perfect was given by YHWH in context with the conditions for receiving either the blessings or the curses which were delivered from mounts Gerizym and Eyval.
The meaning of this command is that, in order to obtain YHWH’s blessing, one must be undiluted in their religion and their devotion to YHWH and to His Torah.
One must be, in fact, a completed human-being.
No mixing of religions can be tolerated, and no half-hearted devotion can be enough. The true children of YHWH must be completely His, and His alone.
It is commonly thought by many believers that YHWH’s standards and requirements have loosened and eased since the coming of Messiah for those who will be his at his return.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the opposite is true – they have not been loosened, erased, or otherwise diminished in any way. They have been elevated.
As was pointed out in the previous sedra, Yehoshua also promised blessings and curses from atop a mountain, but the blessings He promised would come only by adhering to a standard of righteousness even higher than that of basic physical Torah obedience.
This elevated standard is Torah observance in both its physical and spiritual forms – it is completed, or tamiym form.
And that is the standard required of the small and exclusive group called the Qedoshym, who are the bride of Messiah – those who will be His at His coming.
Immediately after commanding that the children of YHWH be perfectwith Him, Moshe prophesied, in YHWH’s name:
“I will raise up a prophet from among them, like you; and I will give my words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.”
This prophecy foretold Yehoshua’s coming, and he did all that the Torah and the Prophets said he would do.
The words of YHWH were in his mouth, and he only spoke that which YHWH commanded he should.
Furthermore, he confirmed that he was indeed the expected prophet and reaffirmed the validity of the commandments when he reiterated YHWH’s command to be perfect at the end of his teaching on the mount.
He said, “Be ye perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.”
If you belong to Him, and will go with Messiah at his return, this is your calling, brethren.
Love Him with all of your heart and walk in all of His ways.
Do it with all of your mind and strength. Nothing less will do, for those who will reign with Messiah, judging angels and men.
Keep your eyes on him and, with the power of the Spirit, become complete – perfect. May you all hear Him when He calls.
B’Shalom, Ovadyah Ben Yisrael

I am looking for a sukkot gathering. The observable new moon marks the beginning of the new month. I have been looking for a sukkot gathering that follows the observable lunar calendar and has available open spaces. Missouri appears to be full. I am in lewiston idaho. The messianic Bible Observant Followers I have met here are moving away, or the people they knew moved away. It looks like they may all be gone. I would like to see a sukkot gathering that follows the bible and participate.

In Genesis 6, Yahweh destroyed the earth because all men's thoughts were evil continually.
Ponder this: we're not to that point yet. It was worse than this. Hard to imagine.
Thus says YHVH: The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest...
Jeremiah 31:2
Wilderness experiences are for growth, healing, and restoration, but the way through them is often painful.
