I AM
Father and son are one
My Memorial for generation after generation.”
Shemot 3:13-16 This is MY NAME for ever,
Yâ-hwuah, Aluahiym of your father’s Abraham, Yitzchak [Isaac], and Ya’aqob [Jacob], has sent me to you. This is my
name forever, and this is my memorial for generation to generation." and I appeared to Abraham, to Yitzchak, and to
Ya’aqob as hashadday [the almighty]. and my name, Yâ-hwuah, was not well known (famous) to them.
The ministry of reconciliation
Message of Reconciliation
Torah sh’Bichtav (Written Torah)
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear?
“Sola Scriptura”
(the Scriptures alone is authoritative for faith)
(in His Name)
[Yah -hoo-Wah]
is the Name of the Creator.
(Yâhuwshúa`) is His Son
[Al-u-heem - ALHYM] means "Mighty Ones“ or "Power"
means Set-apart, Pure.
(Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"
Ruwach (Spirit) is the Ibriy (Hebrew) name for His
"Presence", pictured as the Counselor, Helper, and
Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from the Father"
Tehillim 27:5
For in the day of trouble He will keep me secretly in His
booth. In the covering of His Tent He will hide me. On a
Rock He raises me up.
is for you too!
Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be
alone, be protected, pray, and hear from Yahuahshua.
Knowing there is such a place is a matter of faith. Going
back time and again, that's a matter of building a
relationship. You need not have an advanced degree in any
subject, need not have memorized Scripture from beginning
to end, but instead be aware the Yâ-hwuah of Y’sra’al has a
place for each Jew and Gentile who will open their minds
and hearts to Him.
Mt 6:5-8
When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they
love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners
of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most
certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. But
you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and
having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret,
and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly.
In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Therefore don’t be like them, don't you see that your
Father knows what things you need before you ask Him.
The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must
be shared by those who will live or else ... they will perish ...
in darkness.
Lu 11:33
“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under
a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see
the Light.
Tehillim. 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my
path.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is
good, your whole body is also full of Light; but when it is
evil, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore see
whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness. If therefore
your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it shall
be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright
shining gives you Light.”
With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study
together in the Ruwach
And now brothers and sisters
Come out of the secret place bearing light!
who see it from afar. The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of
light so many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen
are addressed to Jew and Gentile together. We do this
because that is what the Bible does. This opens the window
to make more sense of what Scripture tells us!
In the secret place is plain language, something simple to
read. This is a mere starting place for deeper consideration.
WaYiqra 23:27
Yâ-hwuah spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth
day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-
apart convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves;
and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yâ-hwuah.
YaHuWaH spoke to Moshah, saying,
“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom
Kippur: it shall be a Set-apart convocation to you, and you
shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made
by fire to Yâ-hwuah . You shall do no manner of work in
that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for
you before Yâ-hwuah your Aluahiym. For whoever it is
who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off
from his people. Whoever it is who does any manner of
work in that same day, that person I will destroy from
among his people. You shall do no manner of work: it is a
statute forever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
On this high holiday alone is the same level of strictness of
the Sabbath observed, and even more so. Humble
yourselves: often translated "afflict your souls", which is
taken to mean a complete fast. It could just as well read
"suppress your appetites", so this is a legitimate
interpretation, especially in light of
Yesh./Isa. 58:3.
Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and you don’t see? Why
have we afflicted our being, and you take no knowledge?’
„Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact
all your laborers.
This is why "no work at all", not even preparation of food, is
allowed. Traditionally, one also does not bathe or anoint
one's body with fragrances. When Yâhuwshúa` said to do
these things while fasting, he was referring to a personal fast,
which is more than is required, but this one is a corporate
fast required of everyone in the community, so no one has
to humbly hide the fact that he is fasting. It could also mean
"be busy about your soul" (considering what motivates us
and wherein we have failed and need to repent), not with
things of the body, which is why all of these are set aside and
left unattended--so there can be complete concentration
on repentance. At the end of Yom Kippur, we are to bring
an offering to Yâ-hwuah, but first Yâhuwshúa` tells us to
get things right with our brothers, and leave the offering
until then.
Matt. 5:24
Leave your offering there before the altar and go away; first
be reconciled to your brother and then having come, offer
your offering.
By Jewish tradition, He will not forgive us on this day if the
human victims of our sins have not already forgiven us.
Doors are opened on this day in the heavenlies to give us
the power to overcome our sins,
You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is
Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Yâ-hwuah
your Aluahiym. For whoever is who shall not deny himself
in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.
Be Humbled:
On this day it is especially honorable to confess our sins, to
establish the fact that this is always honorable. Confession is
done with the mouth, but repentance can only be proven
by our actions.
Whoever it is who does any manner of work in that same
day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
This is a day for bringing Yoseyf's bones back to the Land
Ber. 50:25;
Yoseyf' took an oath of the children of Ysra'al, saying,
“Aluahiym will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my
bones from here.”
Y’hezq’el 37:1
The Hand of Yâ-hwuah was on me, and He brought me out
in the Ruwach of Yâ-hwuah, and set me down in the midst
of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Y’hezq’el 37:2
He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there
were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were
very dry.
Amazingly dry: As long as there is some marrow left in the
bones or teeth, DNA samples can be taken from even
ancient mummies, but these bones are too dry for that.
Y’hezq’el could not tell whose they were. There is no genetic
evidence left that they were once Y’sra’al. But DNA and
ancestry is not what will constitute our claim to be Y’sra’al,
but the fact that we live as Y’sra’al now.
Y’hezq’el 37:3
He said to me, O mortal, can these bones live? I answered, O
Yâ-hwuah, my Master, only you know.
Y’hezq’el 37:4
Again He said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell
them: O dry bones! Hear the Word of Yâ-hwuah.
Y’hezq’el 37:5
Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah to these bones: Behold, I
will cause Breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
Y’hezq’el 37:6
I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and
cover you with skin, and put Breath in you, and you shall
live; and you shall know that I AM Yâ-hwuah.
He tells them twice that breath (Ruwach/spirit) will come
into them. The first time, with the coming of the
haMashiyach, we were reborn as individuals. He was
authorized to give life to whomever He chose.
Yâhuwchânâ´n 5:21;
For just as the Father raises up the dead and makes them
alive, thus also the Son makes alive those whom He wishes.
compare
Yâhuwchânâ´n. 20:22
And having said this, He blew on them and says to them:
“Receive ye the Ruwach of the Pure One;
The second time, it must be corporately. This infusion of
breath came with the departure of Yâ-hwuah’s wrath from
the Northern Kingdom only a few years ago.
Y’hezq’el 37:7
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied,
suddenly there was a rattling, and behold, and the bones
came together, bone matching to bone.
Bone to its bone: compare Adam’s realization that “at last
this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh!”
Gen. 2:23
He made the side (rib), which Ya-hwuah Aluahiym had
taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the
man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was
taken out of Man.
It could also be read, member to its corresponding same;
i.e., Yâ-hwuah puts us in the right order, e.g., not expecting
an eardrum to function correctly if attached to a finger.
What holds them all together is the exercise of the gifting’s
Yâ-hwuah has given each of us to supply the rest of the
Body so it can function properly.
Eph. 4: 16.
From Whom all the body is fitted together and united
through every supplied joint, according to the amount of
gift granted by measure to every single member for the
growth of the body, to accomplish its own edification by
affectionate love.
Y’hezq’el 37:8
I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh
came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no
breath in them.
Flesh: from the same root word as “Gospel” (glad news). So
it is clear that the Gospel is not all Yâ-hwuah intends for us.
We are the ones who must flesh out the remains of our
scattered ancestors by keeping the particular commands of
the Torah.
Y’hezq’el 37:9
Then said He to me, Prophesy to the Breath, prophesy, O
mortal! Say to the Breath, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah:
Come, O Breath from the four winds, and breathe on these
slain, that they may live again.
Note that this third time, it is Y’hezq’el responsibility to
call the breath into them. This is the Ruwach (spirit) of
Eliyahu—that of the restoration of all things.
Mal.4:5ff;
Behold, I will send you Ali'Yahuw the prophet before the
great and terrifying Day of Ya-hwuah comes.
Mark 9:12
And He, responding, said to them: “ËliyYâ´huw indeed,
when he has come first, prepares all things
Per the Aramaic.
The Greek here says “reconstitutes”, in well-being, home or
organization per the Strong’s Concordance #600.
“Prepares”,
though, is a clear reference to
Mal’âkhíy 3:1
“Behold, I send My Messenger, and he will clear the way
before Me; and the Master, Whom you seek, will suddenly
come to His Hekal; and the Messenger of the Covenant,
Whom you desire, behold, He comes!” says Yâ-hwuah of
Armies.
which says that he will “prepare the Way before Him”.
in order that he should suffer and be made utterly nothing
of , how it has also been written about the Son of ’Âthâ´m.
Even many of those who have the true Gospel and know
they are Y’sra’al are still lacking in the area of living
according to the Torah, and we are not ready to go to the
Land until all three stages are complete. In the shakharit
morning prayers, we blow the shofar to call Y’sra’al back
from all four directions. Slain ones: an allusion to a
tradition that 30,000 Efrayimites, knowing redemption was
coming and that they were meant to go back to the Land of
Y’sra’al, left Egypt on their own before Moshe came, and
came to a valley in the Promised Land, but were killed there
by the Filistines. This re-emphasizes the fact that this passage
is not referring to Yahuwdah, whose ancestral connections
were never lost, but the Northern Kingdom. Verse 16 uses
the same terminology as v. 11 (“the whole House of
Y’sra’al”) with reference only to the House of Yoseyf
(Efrayim). This is also a warning to those of us who would
try to go back to the Land too early—before all Y’sra’al is
ready to go together. The Palestinians call themselves
Filistines too!
Y’hezq’el 37:10
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the Breath came
into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an
exceedingly great army. (me'ode me'ode)
The root word from which the Hebrew word for “bone” is
taken actually means vast, mighty, or numerous!
Y’hezq’el 37:11
Then He said to me, Son of Adam, these bones are the
whole House of Ysra'al: behold, they say, Our bones are
dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.
Bones…dried: or, members…withered away [for lack of
water]. Our hope is lost: or, our rope has been cut. The
word for bone also means “to tie tightly together”; bones
have no value otherwise. Separated: or, divided in two. To
ourselves: to living as individuals and even letting our
spiritual lives and salvation focus on that level alone.
Y’hezq’el 37:12
Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Master Yâ-
hwuah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to
come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you
into Eretz-Ysra'al.
Y’hezq’el 37:13
You shall know that I AM Yâ-hwuah, when I have opened
your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves,
My people.
The bones were on the surface of the ground; now the
imagery changes to graves, because though it was our
ancestors who were scattered, we are the ones who must
come out of the churches, often even surrounded by
graveyards, to become what our ancestors were meant to
be.
Y’hezq’el 37:14
I will put My Ruwach in you, and you shall live, and I will
place you in your own Land: and you shall know that I, Yâ-
hwuah, have spoken it and performed it, says Yâ-hwuah.
Spoken: This is how Yâ-hwuah. Created the first time, and
how He now re-creates us.
Tehillim. 104:30.
You send forth Your Ruwach: they are created. You renew
the face of the ground.
Y’hezq’el 37:15
The Word of Yâ-hwuah came again to me, saying,
Y’hezq’el 37:16
You, son of Adam, take one stick, and write on it, For
Yahuwdah, and for the children of Ysra'al his companions:
then take another stick, and write on it, For Yowseph, the
stick of Ephraiym, and for all the House of Ysra'al his
companions:
Y’hezq’el 37:17
and bring them together for yourself into one stick and
they shall become one in your hand.
This stick was once united before, and it represented the
brotherhood of Yahuwdah and Ysra’al.
ZekharYahuw 11:10-14;
I took my staff Favor/Pleasantness, and chopped it in two,
that I might break My Covenant that I cut with all the
peoples.
IMPORTANT/PLEASE TAKE TIME OUT TO
UNDERSTAND THIS NEXT PHARAGRAPH
Yâ-hwuah therefore no longer has covenant with any
nation but Ysra'al. In context, this also symbolizes the end
of Yâ-hwuah’s relationship of any sort with the Church,
which is made up of people from all nations. Any last
illusion of protection outside the fold of Ysra'al is removed.
They have to recognize that they are actually Ysra'al if they
are His, in order to retain covenant with Him and benefit
from the blessing to all the families of the earth that was
promised to Abraham’s seed.
THANK YOU
B'Rayshiyth. 22:18
In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed
[mingled], because you have obeyed [literally "heard"] My
Voice.”
Mingled: or grafted; Obeyed: literally, heard (though
obedience is implied)—for Yâ-hwuah’s saw that Avraham
had taken both of His contradictory words (“I will continue
your seed through Yitzhaq” and “kill your childless son”) as
truth; he “heard” what Yâ-hwuah’s was saying, though it
was incomprehensible.
The Renewed Covenant, as well, is made with the House of
Ysra'al and the House of Yahuwdah.
YirmeYahuw 31:31
Behold, the Days come, says Yâ-hwuah, that I shall cut a
new (renewed) covenant with the House of Ysra'al, and with
the House of Yahuwdah:
Not like: in that “they violated it” (broke it in two, split or
cracked it—as Moshe did with the physical tablets on which
Yâ-hwuah had written it, in perfect symbolism of what they
had done). The Aramaic interprets “violated” as
“changed”—the very thing the Northern Kingdom, after
being exiled and even after being introduced to Yâhuwshúa`
, tried to claim Yâ-hwuah had done! In all other ways, a
renewed covenant must be as much like the original as
possible, with only minor adjustments to reflect a change
that may have taken place in the situation of one party or
the other since the first was made. Though I fulfilled and I
disregarded them.
ZekharYahuw 11:11
It was broken in That Day; and thus the meek of the flock
that were watching Me knew that it was the Word of Yâ-
hwuah.
In That Day: an idiom for the Messianic Kingdom, which is
exactly the time frame being described here.
ZekharYahuw 11:12
And He said to them, “If you think it best, give me my
wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my
wages thirty pieces of silver.
This is also the price the owner of an ox that gores someone
else’s slave is responsible to pay his master.
Shemot. 21:32
If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty
shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox
shall be stoned.
Thus it is the price of a servant—the very title of Mashiyach
YashaYahuw 52:13
Behold, My Servant [The Mashiyach] shall deal wisely, He
shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
And indeed thirty pieces of silver is the exact price paid to
Yahuwdah for his betrayal of Yâhuwshúa`.
(Mat. 27)
(the Portion of Bloodshed)
Then Yehuwthâ´h, who gave Him over, having seen that He
was condemned to death; having regretted it, brought back
the thirty silver pieces which had been paid to him to the
chief priests and the elders, Saying:
“I sinned, giving over guiltless blood.”
But they said:
“What is that to us? You will answer for it!” And having
flung the silver pieces within the Temple building, he
withdrew; and having gone away, took a rope and hanged
himself, and was strangled. And the chief priests, having
taken the silver pieces, said:
“It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the
price of blood.”
And having taken counsel together, from them they
bought the lot of the field of the potter, for a burial ground
for strangers. Consequently that lot was called
“Choq ’el dâ´mâh” (the Portion of Bloodshed)
even unto the current day.
ZekharYahuw 11:13
Yâ-hwuah said to me, “Throw it to the potter, (the
magnificent value at which I was appraised by them!”) I took
the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in
the House of Yâ-hwuah.
The money Judas was paid for tips leading to Yâhuwshúa`
capture was in fact returned to the priests in Yâ-hwuah’’s
house, but they could not use it for anything holy, since it
was blood money, so they used it to buy the Potter’s Field
as a place to bury foreigners.
The Greek version of Matithyahu says this was from the
prophet Yirmeyahu.
Yirmeyahu 18
indeed speaks of the potter, but this passage of Z’kharyah is
what is paraphrased there. The Aramaic and Syriac versions
of Matithyahu, which are older than the Greek, do not
specify which prophet was being quoted, but the Hebrew
(Shem-Tov) version—most likely the earliest—does
correctly specify that it was Z’kharyah.
Alternate reading
: [“And He [Yâ-hwuah] said to them: “Give My price, what
seems good in your sight; but if not, keep it!” So they gave
My price: thirty silver pieces. And Yâ-hwuah said to me:
“Throw it to the potter, the amount of the price which I was
valued at from them.”] So I took the thirty silver pieces
(the bounty-price of Him Who was revered, Whom they
assessed of the sons of Ysra'al), And I threw it in the House
of Yâ-hwuah for the lot of the potter, according as Yâ-
hwuah directed me.”
ZekharYahuw 11:14
Then I chopped in two My other staff, even The One that
Binds/Union, that I might break the brotherhood between
Yahuwdah and Ysra'al.
Though at this point Ysra'al as a nation had been gone for
200 years, it is still fresh in mind for Yâ-hwuah. He will not
talk about Yahuwdah’s welfare without that of his brother,
for until Ysra'al (the lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom)
is back as well, there can be no Kingdom, for both houses of
Ysra'al must together enthrone the same Shepherd Who will
reign in David’s line.
Y’hezq’el 34:23; 37:22-25
I will set up One Shepherd over them, and He shall feed
them, even My servant Alef wTaw Dawiyd; He shall feed
them, and He shall be their shepherd. and I will make them
one nation in the Land, on the mountains of Ysra'al; and
one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no
more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two
kingdoms any more at all; neither shall they defile
themselves any more with their idols, nor with their
detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I
will deliver them out of all their dwelling places, in which
they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be My
people, and I will be their Aluahiym. My servant Dawiyd
[through Yâhuwshúa] shall be king over them; and they all
shall have one Shepherd: they shall also walk in My
ordinances, and observe My statutes, and do them. They
shall dwell in the Land that I have given to Ya'aqob My
servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell
therein, they, and their children, and their children’s
children, into the ages and beyond: and Dawiyd My servant
shall be their prince into the ages and beyond
Y’hezq’el 37:16-19
You, son of Adam, take one stick, and write on it, For
Yahuwdah, and for the children of Ysra'al his companions:
then take another stick, and write on it, For Yowseph, the
stick of Ephraiym, and for all the House of Ysra'al his
companions:
Y’hezq’el 37:17
and bring them together for yourself into one stick and
they shall become one in your hand.
Y’hezq’el 37:18
When the children of your people shall speak to you,
saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
Y’hezq’el 37:19
tell them, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah : Behold, I will
take the stick of Yowseph, which is in the hand of Ephraiym,
and the tribes of Ysra'al his companions; and I will put them
with it, even with the stick of Yahuwdah, and make them
one stick, and they shall be one in My hand.
Compare
Numbers 17:2.
“Speak to the children of Ysra’al and take of them rods, one
for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their
fathers’ houses, twelve rods: write every man’s name on his
rod.

Yeshayahu 11:13
The envy also of Ephrayim shall depart, and those of
Yahuwdah who cause distress will be cut off. Ephrayim won’t
envy Yahuwdah, and Yahuwdah will not cause Ephrayim
distress.
Zekharyah 10:6.
I will strengthen the House of Yahuwdah, and I will save the
House of Yowseph, and I will bring them back; or I will have
mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast
them off: for I AM Yâ-hwuah their Aluah and I will hear
them
Y’hezq’el 37:18
When the children of your people shall speak to you,
saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
Y’hezq’el 37:19
tell them, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: Behold, I will
take the stick of Yowseph, which is in the hand of Ephraiym,
and the tribes of Ysra'al his companions; and I will put them
with it, even with the stick of Yahuwdah, and make them
one stick, and they shall be one in My hand.
Y’hezq’el 37:20
The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before
their eyes.
Y’hezq’el 37:21
Say to them, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: Behold, I will
take the children of Ysra'al from among the nations, where
they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring
them into their own Land:
Y’hezq’el 37:22
and I will make them one nation in the Land, on the
mountains of Ysra'al; and one king shall be king to them all;
and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all;
Y’hezq’el 37:23
neither shall they defile themselves any more with their
idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their
transgressions; but I will deliver them out of all their
dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse
them: so shall they be My people, and I will be their
Aluahiym.
Y’hezq’el 37:24
My servant Dawiyd [through Yâhuwshúa] shall be king over
them; and they all shall have one Shepherd: they shall also
walk in My ordinances, and observe My statutes, and do
them.
David: through his descendant, Yâhuwshúa
Y’hezq’el 37:25
They shall dwell in the Land that I have given to Ya'aqob My
servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell
therein, they, and their children, and their children’s
children, into the ages and beyond: and Dawiyd My servant
shall be their prince into the ages and beyond.
Y’hezq’el 37:26
Moreover I will make a covenant of shalom with them; it
shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place
them, and multiply them, and will set My Set-apart Place in
the midst of them forevermore.
Covenant of Shalom (peace:)

evil animals to cease out of the Land; and they shall dwell
securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed;
but My loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither
shall My Covenant of shalom be removed,” says Yâ-hwuah

The first time this terminology is used, it was of Pin’has
Num. 25:12
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace:

was Yâ-hwuah so impressed with one man’s zeal that He
“forgot” how angry He was with the rest of the people.
Never underestimate what one person can accomplish. Like
Aharon his grandfather, he stood between the living and the
dead, stopped a plague, and restored order. This greatly
pleased Yâ-hwuah , bringing an aroma that soothed His
burning nostrils. The difference between life and death was
being in the proper order. Imagine how people must have
respected his position after what he did here. What
constituted this “covenant of completeness”? Pin'has was
not originally in line to be High Priest; his uncle Nadav was.
Since Nadav was killed, and the next in line, Avihu, with
him, it fell to Pin'has' father, El'azar, to become the High
Priest. But here Yâ-hwuah promised that this kind of
transfer would not occur again; the priesthood would
remain in Pin'has' line, because he was the kind of high
priest Yâ-hwuah wanted. Eternal: Thus there can be no
“change of priesthood”. Is it still in effect today, after over
3,000 years? The writers personally know one of his
descendants who still knows who he is and is taking up his
role again, and have heard of many others. It was the
Israelite man who was guilty; the woman was just acting
normally for a Midyanite When a woman whose husband
was jealous was found guilty of adultery, her belly is what
swelled, and her reproductive organs ceased to function.
(Chapter 5) Here, Pin'has ran his spear through her
reproductive organs.

Because of this (the casting out), the days are coming, says

Who brought up the children of Ysra'al out of the land of
Mitsrayim; but, As Yâ-hwuah lives, Who brought up the
children of Ysra'al from the land of the north, and from all
the countries where He had driven them. I shall bring them
again into their Land that I gave to their fathers See, I am

Chapter 38
The Word of Yâ-hwuah came to me, saying, Son of Adam,
set your face toward Gowg (seems to be the "king"), of the
land of Magowg. He is the chief prince of Meshek, and
Tuwbal, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus says the
Master Yâ-hwuah : Behold, I am against you, Gowg, chief
prince of Meshek, and Tuwbal: and I will turn you around,
and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth,
with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and
shield, all of them handling swords; Paras, Kuwsh, and Puwt
with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer, and
all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts
of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with
you. Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your
companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to
them. After many days you shall be visited: in the latter
years you shall come into the Land that is brought back
from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on
the mountains of Ysra'al, which have been a continual
waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they
shall dwell securely, all of them. You shall ascend, you shall
come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the
Land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: It shall happen in That Day,
that things shall come into your mind, and you shall devise
an evil device: and you shall say, "I will go up to the Land of
un-walled villages; I will go to those who are at rest, who
dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and
having neither bars nor gates"; to take the spoil and to take
the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are
now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out
from the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods,
who dwell in the middle of the earth. Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it,
shall say to you, Have you come to take the spoil? have you
assembled your company to take the prey? to carry away
silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take
great spoil? Therefore, son of Adam, prophesy, and tell
Gowg, Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: In That Day when
My people Ysra'al dwells securely, shall you not know it?
You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts
of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them
riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army; and
you shall come up against My people Ysra'al, as a cloud to
cover the Land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will
bring you against My Land, that the nations may know Me,
when I shall be set apart in you, Gowg, before their eyes.
Thus says the Master Yâ-hwuah: Are you he of whom I
spoke in old time by My servants the prophets of Ysra'al,
who prophesied in those days for many years that I would
bring you against them? It shall happen in that day, when
Gowg shall come against Eretz-Ysra'al, says the Master Yâ-
hwuah, that My wrath shall come up into My nostrils. For in
My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that Day there shall be a great shaking in Eretz-
Ysra'al; so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky,
and the animals of the field, and all creeping things who
creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface
of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains
shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and
every wall shall fall to the ground. I will call for a sword
against him to all My mountains, says the Master Yâ-
hwuah: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. With
pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with
him; and I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the
many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower,
and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur. I will magnify Myself,
and set apart Myself, and I will make Myself known in the
eyes of many heathen; and they shall know that

Note on Gowg:
The only other mention of someone named Gowg in
Scripture is in
1 Chron. 5:1- 4,
where he is identified as a descendant of Ruwben (first-born
of Ya'aqob) and the leader of a dynasty in that tribe.
5:1
The sons of Ruwben the firstborn of Ysra'al (for he was the
firstborn; but, because he defiled his father’s couch, his
birthright was given to the sons of Yowseph the son of
Ysra'al; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the
birthright.
5:2
For Yahuwdah prevailed above his brothers, and of him
came the prince {Mashiach}; but the birthright was
Yowseph’s:)
5:3
the sons of Re'uwben the firstborn of Ysra'al: Chanowk, and
Palluw, Chetsron, and Karmiy.
5:4
The sons of Yo'el: Shema'Yahuw his son, Gowg his son,
Shim'iy his son....
So an Ysra'alite is leading heathen peoples to battle against
the rest of Ysra'al. All of Yâhuwshúa’’s other enemies have
been put under His feet by the end of the Millennial
Kingdom, so this final attempt at rebellion has to originate
with an insider who has experienced the benefits of the
kingdom all along. ----- (as did Judas who betrayed
Mashiyach!)
Magowg is often seen as the land ruled over by Gowg. But
the name means “overtopping”, which also relates to
Re’uwben’s lack of self-control.
Gen. 49:4
Boiling over as water, you shall not excel; because you went
up to your father’s bed,then defiled it. He went up to my
couch.
after they have been dead to their identity and separated

Matt. 22:13
it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all
your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you,
and you shall deny yourselves.
Working on this day is an abomination, because at this
point it is too late to change the sentence for this year. If we
have not repented by now, additional efforts will be futile,
and we must "lie in the bed we have made"--or rest in the
fact that our sins are covered because of what Yâhuwshúa`
has done, because this day foreshadows the final Day of
Judgment. On this day alone is it possible for willful sins to
be forgiven, and on this day alone does the high priest make
atonement in the holiest place for the entire community as
a whole unit. How does it bind us together? See
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 58.
in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to
evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
When people read the above they become confused, for it
says on the 10th day you will keep the Day of Atonement,
and you shall deny yourselves in the 9th day of the month
from evening to evening
This is the only festival actually called a "sabbath" rather
than a Shabbaton ("high sabbath"). Evening to evening :
that is, sunset to sunset on the ninth: the day begins at
evening, in darkness, just as we begin our lives in the dark
womb, and the Day of Yâ-hwuah will begin with wrath and
great terror on the earth. Days overlap in Hebraic thought,
so if we do not begin as it is still the ninth, we will miss the
beginning of the actual Day. Yoseyf's dream tells us that the
moon symbolizes a woman (his mother), and thus it
represents the bride of Yâ-hwuah as well. A bare sliver of
moon is visible on the Day of Trumpets. By the evening of
the 9th, the moon is 2/3 full, yet still needs to be further
clothed until we reach the fullness of joy at the next festival,
Sukkoth, on the 15th. These festivals include the opening of
gates, so symbolically we are entering gate after gate,
progressing higher and higher through the various courts,
getting closer to the Temple itself, which we finally reach at
Sukkoth, when there is total revelation. But the number 10
symbolizes a complete congregation, so on the 10th we
should be putting our own selves away, thus enabling our
joy to be made complete.
Here is proof of The True Calendar of Yâ-hwuah, each year
the Day of Atonement lands on the weekly Sabbath, which
is a joy to behold; it’s not a day of affliction, further notice
and
in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to
evening,
it’s a DAY of YOUR affliction from evening to evening
it’s the ninth day
knowing you can set his calendar days by knowing which
day is the day of atonement, means worshipping our creator
and not creation
This particular Sabbath is called your Sabbath, for the weekly
Sabbath is oft called the Sabbath of Yâ-hwuah.
Rehearsal: also a "calling together" Set-apart convocation to
you (convocation).
On this high holiday alone is the same level of strictness of
the Sabbath observed, and even more so. Humble
yourselves: often translated "afflict your souls", which is
taken to mean a complete fast. It could just as well read
"suppress your appetites", so this is a legitimate
interpretation, especially in light of
Yesh./Isa. 58:3.
‘Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and You don’t see? why
have we afflicted our being, and You take no
knowledge?’“Behold, in the day of your fast you find
pleasure, and exact all your laborers.
Yom Kippur is a day to repent (turn around 180 degrees)
and break the bonds of sin in our lives, and then to bring
the same freedom to others. "Yoke" comes from the word
for "wavering", and we want to end this as well. Yom Kippur
is called the day of the closing of the gates, and it is a time
to make choices and build walls between ourselves and the
alternatives so that we will put our hand to the plow and
not look back.
This is why "no work at all", not even preparation of food, is
allowed. Traditionally, one also does not bathe or anoint
one's body with fragrances. When Yâhuwshúa` said to do
these things while fasting, he was referring to a personal fast,
which is more than is required, but this one is a corporate
fast required of everyone in the community, so no one has
to humbly hide the fact that he is fasting. It could also mean
"be busy about your soul" (considering what motivates us
and wherein we have failed and need to repent), not with
things of the body, which is why all of these are set aside and
left unattended--so there can be complete concentration
on repentance. At the end of Yom Kippur, we are to bring
an offering to Yâ-hwuah, but first Yâhuwshúa` tells us to
get things right with our brothers, and leave the offering
until then.
Matt. 5:24
Leave your offering there before the altar and go away;
first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come,
offer your offering.
By Jewish tradition, He will not forgive us on this day if the
human victims of our sins have not already forgiven us.

Act_27:9
When much time had passed and the voyage was now
dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by,
Sha'ul admonished them,
and the only one commanded in the law of Moses.
The mode of its observance is described in
Lev 16:3-10;
“Herewith shall Aharon come into the Sanctuary: with a
young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering?
He shall put on the Set-apart linen coat, and he shall have
the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen
sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are
the Set-apart garments. He shall bathe his body in water,
and put them on. He shall take from the congregation of
the children of Y’sra’al two male goats for a sin offering and
one ram for a burnt offering. “Aharon shall offer the bull of
the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement
for himself and for his house. He shall take the two goats,
and set them before Yâ-hwuah at the door of the Tent of
Meeting. Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot
for Yâ-hwuah, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Aharon
shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yâ-hwuah,
and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the
lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Yâ-
hwuah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for
the scapegoat into the wilderness.
Lev_23:26-32;
Yâ-hwuah spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth
day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-
apart convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves;
and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yâ-hwuah.
You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is
Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Yâ-hwuah
your Aluahiym. Whoever it is who shall not deny himself in
that same day; shall be cut off from his people. Whoever it
is who does any manner of work in that same day, that
person I will destroy from among his people. You shall do
no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of
solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the
ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to
evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
Num_29:7-11.
“‘On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a
set-apart convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you
shall do no manner of work; but you shall offer a burnt
offering to Yâ-hwuah for a pleasant aroma: one young bull,
one ram, seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you
without blemish; and their meal offering, fine flour mixed
with oil, three tenth parts for the bull, two tenth parts for
the one ram, a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs:
one male goat for a sin offering; besides the sin offering of
atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal
offering of it, and their drink offerings.
It was kept on the tenth day of the month Tisri, i.e.,
five days before the feast of Tabernacles, and lasted from
sunset to sunset.
Atone
A. Verb.
kapar
(H3722),
"to cover over, atone, propitiate, pacify."
This root is found in the Hebrew language at all periods of
its history, and perhaps is best known from the term Yom
Kippur, "Day of Atonement." Its verbal forms occur
approximately 100 times in the Hebrew Bible. Kapar is first
found in
Ber 6:14,
Make an ark of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the
ark, and shall cover it inside and outside with pitch.
Ark: a box or chest that can float. The only other place the
term is used in Scripture is in reference to the box used to
keep Moshah afloat on the Nile.
Ex. 2:3
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus
basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put
the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
"Cover" is the same as the word translated elsewhere as
"atone", “redeem”, or “ransom”.
Ex. 21:30; 30:2;
If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the
redemption of his life whatever is laid on him. Its length
shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square,
and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one
piece with it.
Num. 35:31
“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a
murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put
to death.
Prov. 21:18
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous
for the upright.
YashaYahuw 43:3
For I am Yâ-hwuah your Aluahiym, the Qodesh-One of
Y’sra’al, your Savior. [Anointed/Mashiyach] I have given
Mitsrayim as your ransom, Kuwsh and Seba in your place.
i.e., the price of a life, sometimes described in terms of Yâ-
hwuah sacrificing the wicked to preserve the righteous,
which is exactly what He did here. The sealant outside the
ark kept the wrath of Aluahiym from touching those inside
it, just as the Mashiyach's shed blood
Ephesians 4:30
And do not grieve Yâ-hwuah Ruwach haQadosh by which
you were sealed unto the Day of Ransoming.
inside and outside with pitch. Has with his Ruwach inside
and out where it is used in its primary sense of "to cover
over." Here Yâ-hwuah gives Noah instructions concerning
the ark, including,
.
(The KJV translates, "Pitch it within and without with
pitch.")
Most uses of the word, however, involve the theological
meaning of "covering over," often with the blood of a
sacrifice, in order to atone for some sin. It is
not clear whether this means that the "covering over" hides
the sin from Yâ-hwuah sight or implies that the sin is wiped
away in this process.
As might be expected, this word occurs more frequently in
the Book of Leviticus than in any other book, since
Leviticus deals with the ritual sacrifices that were made to
atone for sin. For example,
Lev_4:13-21
“‘If the whole congregation of Y’scra’al sins, and the thing is
hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done
any of the things which Yâ-hwuah has commanded not to
be done, and are guilty; when the sin in which they have
sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull
for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the
head of the bull before Yâ-hwuah; and the bull shall be
killed before Yâ-hwuah. The anointed priest shall bring of
the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: and the priest
shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times
before Yâ-hwuah, before the veil. He shall put some of the
blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yâ-hwuah
that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he
shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering,
which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. All its fat he
shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. Thus shall he do
with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so
shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement
for them, and they shall be released. He shall carry forth the
bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first
bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
Gives instructions for bringing a young bull to the tent of
meeting for a sin offering. After the elders laid their hands
on the bull (to transfer the people's sin to the bull), the bull
was killed. The priest then brought some of the blood of the
bull into the tent of meeting and sprinkled it seven times
before the veil. Some of the blood was put on the horns of
the altar and the rest of the blood was poured at the base of
the altar of burnt offering. The fat of the bull was then
burned on the altar. The bull itself was to be burned outside
the camp. By means of this ritual,
Lev_4:20
"the priest shall make an atonement [kapar] for them, and it
shall be forgiven them"
The term "atonement" is found at least 16 times in Leviticus
16, the great chapter concerning the Day of Atonement.
Before anything else, the high priest had to "make
atonement" for himself and his house by offering a bull as a
sin offering. After lots were cast upon the two goats, one
was sent away into the wilderness as an atonement
Lev_16:10
But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before Yâ-hwuah, to make atonement for
him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.
while the other was sacrificed and its blood sprinkled on the
mercy seat as an atonement for the people
Lev_16:15-20
“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his
blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on
the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: and he shall
make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of the
uncleanness of the children of Y’sra’al, and because of their
transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the
Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their
uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting
when he enters to make atonement in the Set-apart Place,
until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself
and for his household, and for all the assembly of Y’sra’al.
“He shall go out to the altar that is before Yâ-hwuah and
make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s
blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on
the horns of the altar. He shall sprinkle some of the blood
on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it
Set-apart from the uncleanness of the children of Y’sra’al.
“When he has made an end of atoning for the Set-apart
Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present
the live goat.
The Day of Atonement was celebrated only once a year.
Only on this day could the high priest enter the Sacred of
Sacredness of the tabernacle or temple on behalf of the
people of Y’sra’al and make atonement for them.
Sometimes atonement for sin was made apart from or
without blood offerings. During his vision-call experience,
Isaiah's lips were touched with a coal of fire taken from the
altar by one of the seraphim. With that, he was told,
Isa_6:7
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has
touched your lips; so your guilt is averted, and a covering
has been effected over your sin."
The English versions translate the word variously as "purged"
(KJV, JB); "forgiven" (RSV, NASB, TEV); and "wiped away"
(NEB). In another passage, Scripture says that the guilt or
iniquity of Y’sra’al would be "purged" (KJV, NEB) by the
destruction of the implements of idolatrous worship
Isa_27:9
Therefore, this is how the crookedness of Ya'aqob shall be
covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when
he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are
beaten to dust -- the ashërâh and the sun-pillars shall rise
no more.
In this case, the RSV renders kapar as "expiated," while the
NASB and TEV translate it as
"forgiven."
B. Noun.
kapporet
(H3727),
"mercy seat; throne of mercy."
This noun form of kapar has been variously interpreted by
the English versions as "mercy seat" (KJV, RSV); "cover"
(NEB); "lid" (TEV); "throne of mercy" (JB); and "throne"
(Knox). It refers to a slab of gold that rested on top of the
Images of two cherubim’s stood on this slab, facing each
other. This slab of gold represented the throne of Yâ-hwuah
and symbolized His real presence in the worship shrine. On
the Day of Atonement, the high priest sprinkled the blood
of the sin offering on it, apparently symbolizing the blood's
reception by Yâ-hwuah. Thus the kapporet was the central
point at which Y’sra’al, through its high priest, could come
into the presence of Yâ-hwuah.
This is further seen in the fact that the temple proper was
distinguished from its porches and other accompanying
structures by the name
"place of the mercy seat
(kapporet)"
1Ch_28:11
Then Dawiyd gave to Shelomoh his son the pattern of the
porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries,
and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of
it, and of the place of the mercy seat;
The Septuagint refers to the mercy seat as a "propitiary"
(hilasteirion).
Atonement

(G2643)
, translated "

in the KJV of
Rom 5:11,
signifies, not "atonement," but "reconciliation," as in the
RV.
Rom 11:15;

reconciling a world to Himself, not reckoning their offenses
to them, and having put within us the Word of
reconciliation
So with the corresponding verb katallasso, see under
RECONCILE. "Atonement" (the explanation of this English
word as being "at-onement" is entirely fanciful) is
frequently found in the OT. See, for instance,
The corresponding NT words are
hilasmos,
"propitiation,"
1 Jo 2:2;
And He Himself is the propitiation (Compensator) for our
sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
1 Jo 4:10,
In this is love, not that we loved Yâ-hwuah, but that He
loved us, and sent His Son a propitiation [Compensation]
for our sin
And
hilasterion,
Rom_3:25;
Whom Yâ-hwuah set forth as an atonement, for an evident
sign of His deliverance through belief in His blood, thereby
Passing-Over the sins that had taken place beforehand, and
in Yâ-hwuah’s forbearance
Heb_9:5
They serve in a place of worship that is only a copy, a
shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moshah was
getting ready to build the Tabernacle, Yâ-hwuah gave him
this warning: "Be sure that you make everything according
to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain."
These describe the means (in and through the person and
work of Yahuwshua` HaMashiyach, in His death on the
cross by the shedding of His blood in His vicarious sacrifice
for sin) by which Yâ-hwuah shows mercy to sinners.
Propitiation
A. Verb.
Hilaskomai
(G2433)
was used amongst the Greeks with the significance "to make
the Yâ-hwuah’s propitious, to appease, propitiate,"
inasmuch as their good will was not conceived as their
natural attitude, but something to be earned first. This use
of the word is foreign to the Greek Bible, with respect to Yâ-
hwuah whether in the Sept. or in the NT. It is never used of
any act whereby man brings Yâ-hwuah into a favorable
attitude or gracious disposition. It is Yâ-hwuah who is
"propitiated" by the vindication of His holy and righteous
character, whereby through the provision He has made in
the vicarious and expiatory sacrifice of HaMashiyach, He has
so dealt with sin that He can show mercy to the believing
sinner in the removal of his guilt and the remission of his
sins.
Luk 18:13
But the tax collector, standing afar off, would not even raise
up his eyes unto the heavens; instead, he was thumping at
his chest, saying:
“O Yâ-hwuah, be propitious to me, the sinner!”
it signifies "to be propitious" or "merciful to" (with the
person as the object of the verb), and in
Heb 2:17
Wherefore it was necessary for Him to be made similar in all
things to His brothers, in order that He might be a merciful
High Priest, yet trustworthy to the things concerning the
mighty One, for making conciliation for the sins of the
people,
"to expiate, to make propitiation for" (the object of the
verb being sins); here the RV,"to make propitiation" is an
important correction of the KJV "to make reconciliation."
Through the "propitiatory" sacrifice of HaMashiyach, he
who believes upon Him is by Yâ-hwuah's own act delivered
from justly deserved wrath, and comes under the covenant
of grace. Never is Yâ-hwuah said to be reconciled, a fact
itself indicative that the enmity exists on man's part alone,
and that it is man who needs to be reconciled to Yâ-hwuah,
and not Yâ-hwuah to man. Yâ-hwuah is always the same
and, since He is Himself immutable, His relative attitude
does change towards those who change. He can act
differently
towards those who come to Him by faith, and solely on the
ground of the "propitiatory" sacrifice of HaMashiyach, not
because He has changed, but because He ever acts according
to His unchanging righteousness.
The expiatory work of the Tree is therefore the means
whereby the barrier which sin interposes between Yâ-hwuah
and man is broken down. By the giving up of His sinless life
sacrificially, Yâhuwshúa` annuls the power of sin to separate
between Yâ-hwuah and the believer.
In the OT the Hebrew verb kaphar is connected with kopher,
"a covering" (see MERCY SEAT), and is used in connection
with the burnt offering, e.g.
the guilt offering, e.g.,
the sin offering, e.g.,
the sin offering and burnt offering together, e.g.,
the meal offering and peace offering, e.g.,
as well as in other respects. It is used of the ram offered at
the consecration of the high priest,
Exo_29:33,
and of the blood which Yâ-hwuah gave upon the altar to
make "propitiation" for the souls of the people, and that
because "the life of the flesh is in the blood,
„WaYiqra (and He Called)_17:11,
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to
you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is
the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
and "it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of
the life" (RV). Man has forfeited his life on account of sin
and Yâ-hwuah has provided the one and only way whereby
eternal life could be bestowed, namely, by the voluntary
laying down of His life by His Son, under divine retribution.
Of this the former sacrifices appointed by Yâ-hwuah were
foreshadowing’s.
Elsewhere in the NT it occurs in
Rom_3:25,
Whom the Mighty Ones placed above the lid of the
box (ark) ,
Greek: proétheto. This translation makes perfect sense in
view of recent archeological findings. Ron Wyatt, a late
remarkably blessed “Biblical” archaeologist, found the site of
the crucifixion to be directly over the cave in which
YirmYâ´huw stored away the Temple artifacts, specifically
the box (Ark) of the Covenant. There was a rent in the
rock at the base of the cross-hole and the blood of the
bleeding Yâhuwshúa` nailed to the gallows-tree flowed
through this down to the ceiling of the cavern and dripped
through a crack in the stone lid covering the box (ark), and
actually covered the mercy-seat of the lid of the box.
See the fascinating account at the museum’s website,
http://www.wyattmuseum.com/
for an evident sign of His rectification through the belief in
His blood, thereby Passing-Over the sins that had taken
place beforehand,
where it is used of Yâhuwshúa` Himself; the RV text and
punctuation in this verse are important:
"whom Yâ-hwuah set forth to be a propitiation,
through
faith, by His blood."
The phrase "by His blood" is to be taken in immediate
connection with "propitiation." Yâhuwshúa`, through His
expiatory death, is the personal means by whom Yâ-hwuah
shows the mercy of His justifying grace to the sinner who
believes. His "blood" stands for the voluntary giving up of
His life, by the shedding of His blood in expiatory sacrifice
under divine judgment righteously due to us as sinners,
faith being the sole condition on man's part.
Note: "By metonymy, 'blood' is sometimes put for 'death,'
inasmuch as, blood being essential to life,
Lev_17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to
you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is
the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
, when the blood is shed life is given up, that is, death takes
place. The fundamental principle on which Yâ-hwuah deals
with sinners is expressed in the words 'apart from shedding
of blood,' i.e., unless a death takes place, 'there is no
remission' of sins,
Heb_9:22.
Because almost all things, according to the Law, are
purified by blood; and without shedding blood, there is no
liberation!
"But whereas the essential of the type lay in the fact that
blood was shed, the essential of the antitype lies in this, that
the blood shed was that of Yâhuwshúa `Hence, in
connection with Jewish sacrifices, 'the blood' is mentioned
without reference to the victim from which it flowed, but in
connection with the great antitypical sacrifice of the NT the
words 'the blood' never stand alone; the One Who shed the
blood is invariably specified, for it is the Person that gives
value to the work; the saving efficacy of the Death depends
entirely upon the fact that He Who died was the Son of Yâ-
hwuah."*
* From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, p. 168.
Hilasmos
(G2434),
akin to hileos ("merciful, propitious"), signifies "an
expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." It
is used in the NT of Yâhuwshúa` Himself as "the
propitiation,"
1 Jo 2:2
And He Himself is the Compensator concerning our sins;
yet not only concerning the ones our own, rather also
concerning those of the whole world!
signifying that He Himself, through the expiatory sacrifice
of His death, is the personal means by whom Yâ-hwuah
shows mercy to the sinner who believes onYâhuwshúa`as
the One thus provided. In the former passage He is
described as "the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours
only, but also for the whole world." The italicized addition
in the KJV, "the sins of," gives a wrong interpretation. What
is indicated is that provision is made for the whole world, so
that no one is, by divine predetermination, excluded from
the scope of Yâ-hwuah's mercy; the efficacy of the
"propitiation," however, is made actual for those who
believe.
In 1 Jo_4:10,
In this action [v.9] is the Affectionate Love shown: not
because we have affectionately loved the mighty One,
rather, because He has affectionately loved us, so His Son
was sent, a Compensation concerning our sins.
the fact that Yâ-hwuah "sent His Son to be the propitiation
for our sins," is shown to be the great expression of Yâ-
hwuah's love toward man, and the reason
In His Name
Blessed be, in His name
'YaHuWaH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YaHuWaH bless you.' "
Be not blind to the truth And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Yâhuwshúa` passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Yâ-hwuah, [thou] Ben David. An
Yâhuwshúa` stood still, and called them, and said, what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him, Yâ-hwuah,
that our eyes may be opened. So Yâhuwshúa` had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
