After much thought and pray over the last two Torah Portions and the discovery of what the Translators have done to the scriptures. It is any wonder why people will make this leap of logic and make the wrong assumptions. We must not be in such a hurry as to throw out the baby with the bath water. Did the “Translators” do an injustice with the way they mishandled His word? The answer is yes! The question is what do we do then with the Bible in general?
Do we just dismiss it in whole? Perhaps there is another view that we are missing and that is why are there a need for so many different versions of YHVH’s word? Do they as a whole body of work make it any easier to understand His word?
I do not think for one moment that they actually bring a deeper understanding to what was said from the beginning until now. In fact, I believe that they have made so complicated that most people give up and revert to only listing to the person preaching.
This brings me to my next point and that is how did the original followers of Yeshua learn of YHVH’s word since the vast majority of people could not afford a scroll of their own. According to Deut.
(Deu 31:10-13) Moses commanded them: “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time of the year of the release, at the Festival of Shelters, when all Israel comes to appear in the presence of the LORD your God at the place that he will choose, you are to read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people—the men, the women, the children, and the alien who resides within your gates—so that they may hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God and to be careful to carry out all the words of this law. Their children also, who do not know the law, are to hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God all the time that you live on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Remember this the way that YHVH wanted to learn His word. It was a matter of interruption rather we were to teach them to our children as we went out and came in. As we sat in our homes and as we got up and all along the way and as we laid down and rose up in the morning. All day long we were to teach them and speak about them.
YHVH place this responsibility on the fathers to the family.
What do we say then? We failed and we have failed for a very long time. Folks we are speaking generationally we failed. It is time to begin now and do not delay. Will it seem weird at first, yes it will, over time it will come second nature. It will take effort and perhaps YHVH will restore those lost relationships that you thought were gone forever. Isn’t YHVH all about restoring what was lost and stolen by the enemy.
We have to start somewhere and we to start now before it is too late, and we are all consumed on that day! In Ezekiel,
Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you must give them a warning from me. When I announce to a wicked man,
“You shall surely die,” if you do not warn him, and you do not speak up to warn the wicked man against his wicked way so that he can live, then that wicked man will die because of his guilt, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
But you, if you warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die because of his guilt, but you will have saved your own life. Or when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and becomes unrighteous, and I place a stumbling block in front of him, he shall die. If you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he had done will not be remembered, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
But you, if you do warn that righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall certainly live because he heeded the warning, and you will have saved your own life.
(Eze 3:17-21)
Even here YHVH gives us room to repent, yet there are those who are so stubborn that they will not listen to anyone. They say that have all the time in the world to do that. They do not understand that their life hangs in the balance, and they may die this very day!
People need understand that there will come a point in time that there is no more time. They shall go into eternity with their final decision and if they did not repent then there is no hope.
My point is this, if we do not want the Kingdom now when it really matters. There will be no Kingdom for them in eternity only fire and torment. Get right with the Father now before it is too late. Get His Torah into your heart now and teach them to your family now.
Deu 6:4-13 Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God. The LORD is one!
(5) Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
(6) These words that I am commanding you today are to be on your heart.
(7) Teach them diligently to your children and speak about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
(8) Tie them as a sign on your wrists, and they will serve as symbols on your forehead. (9) Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.
(10) When the LORD your God brings you to the land about which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to you, he will bring you to great and good cities that you did not build,
(11) to houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not fill, to wells that you did not dig, and to vineyards and olives that you did not plant. Then, when you eat and are full,
(12) watch yourself, so that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves.
(13) Fear the LORD your God, serve him, and swear by his name.
In Deut shows what was expected for the head of the house to do. So, that his household would follow YHVH.
During the year of release at the end during Sukkot. The covenant was to read so that everyone would hear it. It is not the Priest who are Soley responsible for your salvation it is everyone who bears their iniquity. In the end it is our responsibility to have a relationship with the King and know what is required.
In all this called Kingdom living. Blessings to you!
