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.

MM's VISION of JERUSALEM ~ Psalm 83 ~ HE+ Watching Over ISRAEL Slumbers NOT

 


MM’s VISION:

Sent to me on December 20, 2023 by a tried and true CHRISTIAN whom I cherish and trust, having witnessed this one’s Walk with CHRIST JESUS as LORD through the years: 

From MM:

Recently I had a vision:

I was looking down through a huge crater in the earth.

 I could see Jerusalem and the countries around it.

There was war, the stench of war coming up.

An Angel was standing at the top of the crater.

He was dressed in silver with a silver sword.

Martyrs were ascending up like rain to JESUS. [ YeSHUA+ ]

Many others, like rain, were descending downwards.

Come, O Come,  EMMANUEL+.

+  +  +

PSALM 83

Keep not THOU silence, O GOD  [אֱלֹהִ֥ים  ] : ELOHIM

hold not THY peace, and be not still, O GOD [  אֵֽל  ]   .

For, lo, THINE enemies make a tumult: and they that hate THEE have lifted up the head.

They have taken crafty counsel against THY people, and consulted against THY hidden [ treasured ]  ones.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of ISRAEL may be no more in remembrance.

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against THEE:

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:

yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said,

Let us take to ourselves the houses* of GOD in possession.

*  נְא֣וֹת אֱלֹהִֽים

 Brown-Driver-Briggs  , courtesy of :    https://biblehub.com/hebrew/4999.htm   

13 O my GOD [  אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י   ]   , make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with THY tempest, and make them afraid with THY storm.

16 Fill their faces with shame; 

that they may seek

THY NAME, O LORD [  יְהוָֽה   ]  .

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That men may know that THOU,

whose NAME alone is JEHOVAH, [  יְהוָ֣ה   ]

art the Most High  [  עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן   ]  

over all the earth.

ISRAEL ! YOU ARE NOT ALONE !

 

After 400 missles targeted Israel on a day in 2014, nothing has changed in 10 years.

ISRAEL ! YOU ARE NOT ALONE !

HE watching over ISRAEL slumbereth not nor sleepeth.

HE will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

HE that keepeth thee will not slumber. Psalm 121:3 

Behold, HE that keepeth Israel

shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4 

 

If NO-ONE else stands with ISRAEL during this current defense of the people of Israel and the HOLY LAND, there is ONE WHO stands with GOD’S Ancient People: The ELOHIM.

HE watches over HIS Ancient People. Yes, The ELOHIM has chastened Israel sore, but HE has not given Israel over unto death.

Those who touch “the apple of HIS Eye” make themselves a target for the Wrath of GOD to come upon themselves. . .  just as they thought to do against Israel.

Beware, O ye nations of Sodom and Gomorrah. Beware, O  ye nations filled with the uncleanness of the Philistines.

You are NO giant to ME.

Soon, I will tolerate your false “gods” no longer. You shall see that you have chosen the wrong one to follow. Soon, you shall see the fortitude of your lies crumble under the foot of TRUTH. MY TRUTH.

If you sow human hatred against MY Ancient People, will you not reap DIVINE Hatred ?

If you sow bloodshed with glee, will you not reap The SWORD of The LORD upon your own head ? The laughter will stop then, for you cannot stop MY WILL.

I, The LORD, have set MY Ancient People into the HOLY LAND for MY Purposes which you, O enemies of GOD, cannot thwart. 

You cannot change MY INTENT when it is set in motion.

I fight FOR ISRAEL because Israel is MY OWN.

Because of ME, THE ELOHIM, The GOD of all flesh, Israel has learned to sanctify human life.

Because of ME, THE ELOHIM, The GOD of the Whole Earth Which doeth Right, you enemies of Israel cannot  win over them. MY DIVINE HAND is upon them now.

AND TO YOU, O ISRAEL:

I, THE ELOHIM, am calling all of Israel to forsake their sins which they openly parade, and return to worship ME with their WHOLE heart. I am NOT an ancient “tradition”.

I AM current, The EXISTING ONE, the LIVING GOD.

        KNOW THIS, O Israel:

                You were not attacked simply because the chamas is  so evil but because you have done wickedly in MY Eyes.

        You canNOT “play with the devil” at a demonic-inspired, flesh- promoting rock concert and expect ME to protect you from harm  from demonic-infested people.

        Do you NOT remember what happened during the dancing and playing and immorality that went on around that “GOLDEN CALF” during the Exodus ? [ See Exodus 32 if you forget. ]   

        Your fool-hardy playing with the devil DREW the wicked    spirits that inhabit chamas directly to you. . .

LIKE A MAGNET.

 

Your military might canNOT protect you from the devil.

Only The ELOHIM --- the Great I AM --- can do that.

+  +  +

I, THE ELOHIM, will soon reveal Myself to MY Ancient People who are hungry and thirsty to know ME+ , the TRUE GOD, The ROCK+ Which followed them in the wilderness, the Living WATER+.  

This time, COME when I+ CALL.

ADVENT 2023 ~ # 6 O COME, O COME EMMANUEL+ , and RANSOM Captive ISRAEL ! ~ Revelation 12

 

O come, O come,EMMANUEL+,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the SON+ of GOD appear.

REVELATION 12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven; a Woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 

REVELATION 12:2  And she being with CHILD+ cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 

O come, O BRANCH+ of Jesse's stem,
unto Thine+ own and rescue them!
From depths of hell Thy+ people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave.

REVELATION 12:3  And there appeared another wonder in Heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 

REVELATION 12:4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of Heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the Woman which was ready to be delivered,

for to devour her CHILD+ as soon as it was born.

O come, Who+ has the KEY+ of David, come
and draw us to our Heavenly HOME.

Open to us Thy+ Cleansing BLOOD
 

When evil overwhelms us as a flood.

REVELATION 12:5  And she brought forth a Man-CHILD+, WHO+ was to rule all nations with a ROD OF IRON:and her CHILD+ was caught up unto GOD, and to HIS Throne.

A Greek Camel ? An Aramaic Rope ? The WORDS of YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+: Which Is BEST ?

RE-PRINT FROM FEBRUARY 10, 2013

www.travel-pictures-gallery.com



He that rejects ME+ 
and receives not My+ WORDS, 
hath ONE that judges him;
  
The WORD that I have spoken, 

the same 
shall judge him 
in the Last Day. 

For I+  have not spoken of Myself+; 
but The FATHER 
which sent ME+,

HE gave ME+ 
a commandment, 
what I+ should say, 
and what I+ should speak.
( Yochanan 12:48-49, words the same in all versions. ) 

 ~ ~ ~ A SERIOUS QUESTION ~ ~ ~ 

Why is the controversy over the true meaning of GaMLa of any importance ?

THIS IS WHY: Either the Greek translators changed the meaning of The Words of YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+... or the Aramaic translators changed them.  

Simply put:  one is wrong, one is right. 

Put another way: 

  • one will stand before the Judgment Seat of The MASHIYACH+ to give an awful accounting ; 
  • the other will hear the words, "Well Done, thou good and faithful Servant. Enter thou into the Joy of Thy LORD." 
BOTH, however, can not be right.

We know: ROPE is found for CAMEL in George Lamsa's Bible, Paul Younan's work on the New Covenant, and the current "Golden, Best, and Historic" version published by the Netzarim publishing house. 

We know :  The Aramaic lexicon written by Hassan Bar Bahlul in the 10th century states that some traditionally have translated a SHIP'S ROPE for GaMLa. [ See blog on Bar Bahlul.]

We know: BB cites Cyril of Alexandria,  a noted GREEK scholar and Patriarch of Alexandria , 412 - 444 AD, as identifying GaMLa as ROPE.  

We know: The ARMENIAN church followed some of the Greek, Cyril of Alexandria's teachings. ( See Wikipedia: " Armenian Apostolic Church." )

We know: From  Wikipedia " Eye of a Needle" 
5. ^ Manlio Simonetti - 2002 -"Cyril of Alexandria: By "camel" here he means not the living thing, the beast of burden, but the thick rope 33 to which ... "This interpretation — "rope" (kamilos)

and not "camel" (kamelos) — rests on the 

homonymic character of the two .."

( In other words, in Medieval Greek, the two Greek words were pronounced the same and thus, caused some confusion. This is also stated in numerous other places on the internet and by Dr. Robinson. See below. )

[ Please note:  The Greek CAMEL is written with a Greek vowel, ETA = a long "A" sound. Greek scholars like Dr. Robinson write the letters in English with a capital "H" for the ETA, / "Ate-aah" /... hence he would write "kamHLon"

In my earlier blog, I wrote "kam- A - lon" to indicate the pronunciation.  Some writers insert an English "e" , as did Simonetti, above, to indicate the CAMEL, as "Kam-e-lon".  

ROPE, you may recall, is spelled in Greek "Kam-i-Lon." ]

 We know : "Kam-i-Lon" ( Gk. ROPE) is never found in the Greek New Covenant. 

However,
"Kam-i-Lon"  for ROPE is seldom used even in other Greek  writings when concerning  ships' cables. Thus, that usage is rather a moot point ... EVEN IN THE GREEK WRITINGS THEMSELVES. 

It is found in two Greek writings OUTSIDE of the New Covenant. See BAGD, 2nd ed. , 1979, page 401, for "KamiLon" for those two references. Many other ancient references in the Greek literature OUTSIDE of the New Covenant are listed for "KamHLon." See BAGD entry directly above kamiLon.  

Rather,  "s X o i n i O n" is found for rope in John 2:15 ( a whip out of ropes = phragellion ek sXoiniOn )  and in Acts 27:32, where soldiers are cutting away the ropes which hold lifeboats, = ta sxoinia. 


Likewise, in the Peshitta texts: 

John 2:15 = phragela men CHaBLa is the whip out of ropes, and L-CHaBLe'H  is the  rope on the ship in Acts 27:32.   

We know :  Toma Audo, ( 1854-1918 ), an archbishop of the Chaldean Catholic Church, stated the ROPE definition, as does the German linguist who wrote in Latin, Carl Brockelmann ( 1868-1956).... [ according to the information from Mr. Steven Ring, noted Aramaic scholar, well-known on the Internet.]

We know:  Dr. Steve Kaufman who edits the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon in Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College stated that  [ GaMLa for] ROPE was not found in the Aramaic literature or writing. 

He stated that the ONLY place it was found was in the "exegetical" work of some translators. 

Dr. Kaufman stated ( See his comments, verbatim, on the previous blog ) that 

" ... the exegetes derive it from the context.  It has nothing to do with Aramaic per se."

And: "What I am saying is that the word "camel" in that text was explained by some exegetes as referring to a thick rope used on boats.  Otherwise it is not found in any actual texts."

We know : Dr. Kaufman does NOT establish ROPE as a regular definition for GaMLa in  the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon because GaMLa is never used as "rope" in any Aramaic writing.

[ Please note: the scholarly CAL editor(s) differentiate between 30 different dialects which are used in the writings classed as "Aramaic." ]   

We know : Even Dr. Kaufman's note about GaMLa being translated by some translators as ROPE was added to the CAL entry on GaMLa during the week of January 7, 2013 following my quest for scholarly information.... so the current volumes did not have this reference note from which to work when compiling their translations.

We Know: The information about an extra vowel in GaMLa .... making it to be pronounced as Gam-a-lah  in Aramaic is totally erroneous, according to Dr. Kaufman.  

We know : Unfortunately, that mis-information about "gamala" is printed in footnote 182, at Matthew 19:24 in the "G,B, and H" version of the Netzarim New Covenant. 

We Know: Dr. Maurice Robinson of the excellent Robinson-Pierpont's The New Testament in the Original Greek, Byzantine Textform, 2005, listed NO VARIANTS for those three verses where GaMLa is translated as ROPE instead of CAMEL. Nestle-Aland's 26th Greek edition listed only a very few, starting with the 9th century. Nestle-Aland's 27th Greek edition listed a few, also from the 9th or 10th century.   Here are Dr. Robinson's exact words:  


The data shown in NA27 are simple:

Mt 19:24, where KAMILON is read in only MSS 579 1424 pc arm

Mk 10:25, where KAMILON is read in only MSS f13 28 579 pc geo

Lk 18:25, where KAMILON is read in only MSS S f13 579vid 1424 al

1. First thing to notice is that, except for MS 579, *none* of the witnesses remain consistent for all three occurrences. [ Please note: ms 579 was from the 13th century. /SrJH]

2. The reason the R-P text doesn't mention KAMILON in place of KAMHLON is simple: the manuscript support is too slim to be of any consequence.

3. The *primary* issue is merely phonetic orthographic variation. In (at least) later medieval Greek H and I were pronounced identically. This phenomenon is replicated in the *other* instances where "camel" occurs, where no one is claiming * * * "rope" meaning; e.g., John the Baptist dressed in camel's hair:

Mt 3:4, where instead of KAMHLOU  [ camel] you have KAMILOU [rope ] in MSS 28 565 (and where MS D reads KAMHLLOU )

Mk 1:6, where instead of KAMHLOU [ camel ] you have KAMILOU  [ rope ] in MSS Gsup 2 28 (and where MS D along with Theta reads KAMELOU).

 And Mt 23:24, where it hardly matters whether a Pharisee is trying to swallow a camel or a rope (he simply can't do it); there KAMILON [ rope ] is read by MSS M Theta Pi* 579.

We know : These few with Kam-i-lon spellings in the Greek manuscripts came from the 9th, 10th, and 13th century. 

We know : At least one or two of these early manuscripts came from the ARMENIAN and the GEORGIAN early manuscripts. 

We know : George Lamsa was born in Armenia. 

We know: Cyril of Alexandria , a Greek Patriarch, was lauded by the church in Armenia. 

We know : Mr. Lamsa repudiated and taught against basic Christian doctrines, like the physical Resurrection of YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+ and a host of other doctrines central to Christianity. 



We know : The idea of a LARGE animal going through a small opening is an ORIENTALISM.  This quote was found on Wikipedia  
[ From Wikipedia's "Eye of a Needle " article, above]  and on several other sites on the Internet.  To wit: 


The Babylonian Talmud applies the aphorism to 
unthinkable thoughts. To explain that dreams 
reveal the thoughts of a man's heart, the product 
of reason rather than the absence of it, the rabbis 
say:
They do not show a man a palm tree of gold,

 nor an elephant going through the eye of a 

needle.[1]

Changing the words of 
YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+ 
is serious  
because 
it makes a rich man

the Kingdom of Heaven...
exactly the opposite teaching
