How bad do things have to get before we admit we need help? That's the question David Jones and Barry Phillips investigate in this conversation about pride, humility, and spiritual amateurs.

People like to reappropriate this and similar passages to proclaim a prophecy specific to Jews and excluding all others…  or elsewise to spiritualize the whole subject, so as to say that all these Scriptures are spoken foreshadowing the Christian church…
But when we do not rewrite our history, what do we find?…
We discover that our Heavenly Father spoke these words over an entire nation of which the people who would much later become Jews (generations later) were only but a tiny fraction.

YHWH promised incredible blessing for obedience and equal and even surpassing cursing for disobedience…
And again He was not only talking to the Jew…
He was talking to you.
He was talking to all those who were going to be exiled from Israel, both those who would be brought back as the remnant and those who would be dissolved into the nations.
This is not our interpretation… This is not even anyone’s interpretation. It is merely the plain reading of what is written on the page. “ I will not cast them away…”
YHWH spoke this in His NAME… and the Jews were only a portion of the people He spoke of.
You don’t obey because you’re Jewish.
You obey because YHWH promised your ancestors that He would remember His covenant with you for their sakes…if you obey.
YHWH cast out the 10 northern tribes of Israel and never yet brought them back. He dissolved them into the nations and did not destroy them utterly.
To this day, one cannot definitively point to any person on the Earth and determine with any degree of certainty what northern tribe they belong to…but it doesn’t matter.
YHWH remembers who your fathers were, and He remembers His covenant with you for their sakes.
At this point, none of us know who our ancestors were in relation to Israel, but we do know that the descendants of the northern tribes of Israel are everywhere in the world and we very well might belong to one of them.
But whether we do or not, we may choose to and should, because if we are of that blood and of that lineage then we are the ones who are being spoken of in this passage. And all who choose to obey YHWH become part of that people anyway.
“Choose this day Whom you will serve”
YHWH is served only one way - His Way.
Your ancestors refused to obey. What will you do?

[Pray] that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints...
Romans 15:31 ESV
Not every prayer is answered in the way we want. God used the hatred of one group of Jews for another to bring the Gospel to Rome and the Western Empire.
God gives us much leeway in how we live our lives and the choices we make from one day to the next within the bounds set by his Law, but God also has a plan which will be carried out despite all prayers to the contrary. If his plan requires that Paul be arrested in Jerusalem or that a loved one not survive a car accident, then that is what will happen. This doesn’t mean that our prayers go unanswered, but that they are often answered in ways that we wouldn’t prefer or that we didn’t expect.

One of the questions I am asked is what’s the difference between a sacrifice and an offering. The short answer and being very general is an offering is usually freely given as an act of praise or form of worship. Even a required burnt offering is used as a form of worship. A sacrifice was required as an open admission for sin, a cry of repentance and a request for mercy and forgiveness. However both may have other purposes.
"Yahweh will not forgive him, but then the wrath of Yahweh and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and every curse that is written in this book, shall light upon him, and Yahweh shall put out his name from under heaven."

A new Edition of The
Lawful Literal Version
LLV Bible is out now!
…a work in progress with over 73,000 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV357 (a)_sword! Edition:
This edition has translated Ezek 21:9-13 literally.
It seems many translations have missed what is encoded in the grammar; analysis was required.
The LLV translation expands the marking found in some English Bibles (such as KJV, ASV) which italicise some of their words which are not literally translated from words in the source text but are added for the needs of English grammar, or to offer a clear interpretation where the text seems otherwise difficult to understand: (round brackets means it’s a Hebrew/Greek thing, that the sense of the enclosed words is understood to be implied by the grammar or syntax in the original language text), whereas [square brackets means it’s an English thing, that the enclose words that seem required by English, or that the words otherwise go beyond the original language text to offer a possible interpretation]. Also, underscores_joining_words_together indicate that these words are translated from a single word in the original language text. All these markings are presently inconsistent, so that there absence should not be taken to mean that they should not be there; the marking should become more complete in future editions, and words remaining in italics will instead be converted into (round bracket) or [square bracket] style.
e.g. Genesis 1:10: “And God called the dry land Earth; and (the) gathering_(together)_of the_waters he_had_called Seas. And God saw that [it was] good.”
1. (the) is implied in Hebrew by the ‘the’ in “the_waters” at the end of the Hebrew construct chain. Hebrew thus implies all nouns of the chain to be ‘definite’ (as though having ‘the’).
2. [it was] is not needed in the Hebrew syntax here, but English seems to require it.
3. he_had_called is translated from a single Hebrew word.
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.
