Joshua 5:2
YHVH commands joshua to circumcise the israelites the second time again…rather oddly phrased.
But why? rabbinical commentaries go a bit far trying to explain this one, somehow the north wind gets involved, but could it be that...
Now while IN egypt, the israelites did still circumcise their males on the eighth day (while still under the reproach of egypt, see verse 9 - today I have rolled away the reproach of egypt from you - ), moses, who'd fled OUT of egypt into the wilderness around midian, didn't circumcise his new son born there (refer exodus 4:25 - where zipporah quickly did it to appease YHVH -), and neither did the israelites circumcise once OUT of egypt all the time while in the wilderness until now, in joshua 5, after entering the promised land, at last.
And in genesis 17:11 Elohim says the circumcision is the sign of the covenant made with abraham, and in that covenant He explicitly states that He will be their Elohim (gen17:7-8). the result of not circumcising? Verse 14, he will be cut off from his people.
Super interesting, because ishmael, as a child of abraham, was also physically circumcised, as they still are today. And so the israelites not doing this in their wilderness time has ‘cut’ them off from the 'rest' of abraham’s offspring, separating isaac from ishmael, as it were. And so now a second time YHVH recommands the sign of the covenant, this time only with the children of israel.…
And the reproach of egypt (of following other gods and not being cut off from ishmael yet?), is at last rolled away.
Could this be behind that second circumcision?

I recently came across this playlist by Nazarene Israel for biblicaly based community building and structuring, worth a listen.

Don’t let anyone tell you that the Torah used to save you but now “Jesus” saves you instead.
YHWH never told you the Torah saves you.
Let us say that again…
YHWH NEVER TOLD YOU THE TORAH SAVES YOU.
NEVER.
NOT ONCE.
Yet such a silly notion is at the heart and soul of Christian civilization.
Your Almighty Father Above did tell you that the Torah will enable you to live, be well, and have long days on the earth.
Over and over you are told that the Torah is the Instructions for a good life.
Not once are you told that it is the avenue to acquire salvation.
Torah is the promise of life…
Yeshua is the promise of eternal life…
And Yeshua taught the Torah.
So who is teaching you to reject the Torah?
And why are they teaching you to reject it?
It gives you the good life.
And they keep you from it.

Next week the United Nations will meet and the nations will give their sovereignty to them. This will begin the tribulation. We will lose freedom of speech and we will be victim to new laws that make us criminals. I'm thankful for the Torah sites. I have three social media sites of my own. I will not allow the government to become involved in them and take away our freedom of speech on them. I do believe we will be affected by the media sites owned by the world however. We already are affected to a degree but one they take away freedom of speech we will be more greatly affected. In another 3 and 1/2 years the great tribulation will begin. Pray that you will be accounted worthy to escape the things coming to pass and stand before the son of Adam.
