MICAH 5:2 Complete Jewish Bible

Micah 5:1... Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

But you, Beit-Lechem near Efrat,so small among the clans of Y’hudah,out of you will come forth to me the future ruler of Isra’el,whose origins are far in the past, back in ancient times.

Neither is there SALVATION in any other; for there is NO OTHER NAME+ under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

That at the NAME of YESHUA+ every knee shall bow, of beings in Heaven, beings in earth, and beings under the earth; and that every tongue should proclaim that YESHUA+ MASHIYACH+ is LORD, to the Glory of ALAHA, His+ FATHER.
Philippians 2:10-11

The TEST --- Pre-PASCHA Meditations --- Ephesians 2:2


HIS+ Test .... and ours


A note to Syriac or Aramaic Followers of Y'SHU+: 

The time to stand united has come; the WHOLE House of Israel… yes, the WHOLE House… is coming under persecution world-wide, both the natural and the grafted-in branches.  It is time to lay aside differences and seek The LORD in repentance, on our face.  It is clear that the 10 kings of Revelation 17 are actively pushing their agenda to eliminate all those who hinder their program. Followers of Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA are the only ones on the face of this earth who can, through their obedience and their prayers, hinder their efforts.  The satan knows this, thus the persecution of the Whole House of Israel.

Also note:  I have used the form, Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA through-out, as found in the Peshitta, instead of the Jewish form of Y’SHUA+ haMOSHIYACH.
   
Meditations  for  the Pre-Pascha Season
(The Passover Season, 2016)
+  +  +

Now is My+ soul troubled;
and what shall I+ say ...
FATHER,
save ME+
from this hour ?
but for this cause
came I+ unto this hour.

FATHER,
Glorify Thy Name.

Then came there a Voice from Heaven, saying,

I have both glorified IT,
and will glorify IT again.

John12:27-28

Meditation Verse 
Ephesians 2:2

[ from verse 1... in trespasses and sins... ]
Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world,
according to the prince
of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:

Literal Greek:
... In which [trespasses and sins]
in time past you all walked
according to the age of this Kosmos (world)
according to the FIRST HIGH RULER
of the authority of the air , of the spirit
of the one now energetically working
in the sons of disobedience.
+  +  +

Now, from the Syriac / Aramaic translations of Dr’s. Etheridge, Murdock, and Lamsa, courtesy of Dukhrana.com :

- ܒ݁ܗܳܠܶܝܢ ܕ݁ܡܶܢ ܩܕ݂ܺܝܡ ܗܰܠܶܟ݂ܬ݁ܽܘܢ ܗܘܰܝܬ݁ܽܘܢ ܒ݁ܗܶܝܢ ܐܰܝܟ݂ ܥܳܠܡܳܝܽܘܬ݂ܶܗ ܕ݁ܥܳܠܡܳܐ ܗܳܢܳܐ ܘܰܐܝܟ݂ ܨܶܒ݂ܝܳܢܶܗ ܕ݁ܪܺܝܫ ܫܽܘܠܛܳܢܳܐ ܕ݁ܳܐܐܰܪ ܘܰܕ݂ܪܽܘܚܳܐ ܗܳܕ݂ܶܐ ܕ݁ܡܶܬ݂ܚܰܦ݁ܛܳܐ ܒ݁ܰܒ݂ܢܰܝܳܐ ܕ݁ܠܳܐ ܡܶܬ݁ܛܦ݁ܺܝܣܳܢܽܘܬ݂ܳܐ ܀ 


Ephesians 2:2 - in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age, [Olmoyutheh dolmo hono.] and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth [D'methchaphto.] in the sons of disobedience;


Ephesians 2:2 - in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience:


Ephesians 2:2 - In which you previously walked according to the worldly course of this world, and according to the will of the supreme ruler of the air, the spirit which is active in the children of disobedience.

Meditation

There is none righteous; no, not one.

We ALL have had our behavior controlled by the evil one, the evil prince of the authority of the very air surrounding planet earth.

The evil high prince tries to control the ages, the eras, the eons,  of this world. The satan is energetically and actively working to control ALL flesh, in order to destroy GOD'S highest creation.

The control is given to him through the sin of Adam, when Adam and Eve agreed with the satan in their behavior instead of agreeing with the LORD. 

It continues. 

Daily, in every age, the control is yielded over to the evil high ruler  by the sons of Adam who will not yield unto The LORDSHIP of Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ .

True, some have never even heard the name of Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ ... to the shame of the church proper.

But of those who have --- including the global leaders as well as the common people of the "civilized" world --- the vast majority refuse to YIELD to being controlled by Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ .

Sadly enough... much of the church proper also REFUSES to AGREE with Our LORD Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ . Many in our congregations fall short of giving Y’SHU+ the control over their thoughts, their tongues, or their time.

Thus, their lives are NOT UNDER HIS+ LORDSHIP.  They do not call HIM+ "Master" in their hearts.

The result?

All who are NOT controlled 
by the LORD Y’SHU+
are then controlled 
by the satan.

Every act of DIS-obedience brings a further strengthening of the power of the disobedient prince of the power of the air.

As more and more people agree with the satan, the spirit of disobedience is strengthened and pits itself against the Followers of Y’SHU+.

Even "decent" and "up-right" persons who refuse to YIELD to the LORDSHIP of Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+  ... are actually under the control of the satan

Like the pharisees of old, they are good "enough" as is and simply do not need a Savior+ ... because they have no sin; they are righteous in and of themselves.

Our LORD Y’SHU+ told the very righteous Pharisees who knew the Scriptures and kept the Law of Moses meticulously ...

"You will die in your sins."

The only person born without sin was Our LORD Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ .

Even so, Scripture teaches, HE+ had the power TO CHOOSE TO SIN if HE+ had wanted.

The LORD Y’SHU+ could have agreed with the satan during His+ temptation after 40 days of fasting, when HE+ was so very, very weakened in His+ body. 

Even unto the very END of His+ ministry, Y’SHU+ was tested. HE+ had the free will to call to His+ Heavenly FATHER and receive more than 12 legions of angels ... instead of taking up the Cross of Crucifixion.



No, The LORD Y’SHU+ 
THE  M’SHIKHA+   
did not come 
as an automaton... 
a "Righteous Robot."


Rather, HE+ came in the form of a Servant --- a Servant of the Most High GOD --- and was made in the likeness of men.

HE+ was tempted --- tested --- in all areas like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 ...

For we have not an HIGH PRIEST+
WHO+ cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; 
but was in all points
tempted like as we are,
yet without sin.

Our LORD had the same choices as we do, facing HIM+ constantly, when HE+ walked on earth:  to do The FATHER'S will ... or to go His+ own way.

Because HE+ came as the Second Adam and was made in the likeness of men, HE+ constantly had a choice:

What was easier on His+ flesh, His+ emotions, His+ Self...
--- OR ---
to do what The FATHER 
wanted HIM+ to do

to accomplish the Work 
to beat the satan,

loosening man 
from the satan's IRON-CLAD grip.

What did HE+ choose ?

And HE that sent ME+ is with ME+:
The FATHER hath not left ME+ alone;
for I + do always those things
that please HIM.
John 8:29


I do always those things that please My+ FATHER, is what Y’SHU+ said.

And being found in fashion as a man
HE+ humbled Himself+
and became obedient unto death,
even the DEATH of the CROSS.

How often do WE deny the flesh in order to please The FATHER?

How often do we seek the UNcomfortable conditions surrounding our FATHER'S Will rather than  what is comfortable for us ?


+  +  +
Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly FATHER, we say "Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven," but we do not do it, neither collectively nor individually.

We labor so strenuously at our jobs that we do not have any strength left over to do Your Work , Your Will, Your Way.

We hide our faces from the hard choices we must make in order to do Your Work, O FATHER. 

We have neglected to do even the easy, at-home tasks of fasting, praying, and sitting in QUIETUDE before THEE... much less doing anything more that would require a denial of our comfortable, chosen life-style.

O LORD, we badly need the fire.

Help us --- help me --- to choose Thy Will, to choose the Cross with its rough conditions, for Thy Name's sake.

Help me ... help us all ... to deny our Self in order to expend our lives in labor for Your Kingdom, in accord with Your Will and purpose for our lives.

In the Name of Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+  Thy SON+ Who+ chose the rough Cross for my sake, I pray.  Amen.  

+  +  +
Worthy is the LAMB+.

Worthy is The LAMB+
that was slain.

Worthy is the LAMB+,
slain
from the foundation
of the earth.
Revelation 13:8


+  +  +

PRAISE and THANKSGIVING
be to The FATHER,
and to HIS Beloved SON+
Y’SHU+ THE  M’SHIKHA+ ,
and to
the Blessed RUACH HA KADOSH.

ONE GOD:
FATHER,
SON+,
and RUACH HA KADOSH,
both now and forever,
world without end.
Amen.
