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 RENEWED COVENANT of the OLD TESTAMENT: Michael Rood's Hebrew Roots Camp has it BACKWARDS !




There was indeed a RENEWED COVENANT between The ELOHIM and the people of GOD. 
It was The OLD Covenant which had to be renewed every year 
at
  the time of the Passover  
during the Old Covenant times.

IS MICHAEL ROOD AGAINST The PASSOVERS ... The Passovers Found in the Book of John ?


A Re-post from October 23, 2017


Hebrew Roots popular leader, Michael Rood, has re-written Scriptures. Mr. Rood calls it the "Corrected" KJV, the Chronological Gospels , and has re-written verses that hinder his theories. . . verses which contain TRUTH.  

Just like the Gnostics of old, Mr. Rood . . .

BIND THE SACRIFICE TO THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR !




HOLY WEEK
in commemoration of
The Great --- and Final --- Passover
.
  M'SHIKHA+ our Passover+
is sacrificed for us;
therefore, let us keep the feast.
not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven
of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread
of purity (Gk) and truth.
1 Corinthians 5:7,8
+  +  +
.
The triumphal entry of Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA into Jerusalem --- the first TRIUMPHAL ENTRY --- was over.  The Temple of GOD was cleansed. Now laid before HIM+ was the bleak business of Binding the Sacrifice unto the horns of the altar, the task for which HE+ had been preparing HIMSELF+ since HE+ had been born among men. 
.
GOD is the LORD,
Which hath shewed us light:
bind the sacrifice with cords,
even unto the horns of the altar.
Psalm 118:27
.
BIND:  from Strong's Concordance {631}; 'acar, aw-sar'; a primitive root; to yoke or hitch; by analogy, to fasten in any sense, to join battle: — bind, fast, gird, harness, hold, keep, make ready, order, prepare, prison(-er), put in bonds, set in array, tie.
.
And they came to the place
which GOD had told him of;
and Abraham built an altar there,
and laid the wood in order,
.
and bound Isaac his son,
and laid him on the altar
upon the wood.
Genesis 22:9
.
BOUND:  from Strong's Concordance {6123}`aqad, aw-kad'; a primitive root; to tie with thongs: — bind.
.
Here we see the prophetic fore-runner of the Sacrifice of the LAMB+ of GOD.  Abraham's obedient preparations to sacrifice Isaac, his son, his only-beloved son, shows us that.
.
We are thankful that The LORD GOD did not require this sacrifice from Abraham's hand... and that HE does not require this of us.  HE provided Abraham a ram in the thicket and an angel to tell him the obedience in his heart was received as "acceptable" to GOD.   
.
 How was this prophetic Scripture
fulfilled in Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA ? 
.
Were there ropes which tied
and bound our LORD to The Altar
... the altar of the Cross ?
.
While walking the mile or so to Golgotha, our LORD was made to carry the crossbeam of His+ Cross. HE+ may have been tied to that crossbeam at this point for HE+ was very depleted of strength. How could HE+ hold His+ lacerated arms up to balance about an 100-pound,  rough-hewn, beam of wood?
.
Indeed, so depleted and weak from the cruel treatment of the soldiers and His+ scourging , Our LORD was unable to carry the crossbeam plus continue His+ walking to Golgotha. So, the expedient soldiers snatched a traveler to carry it. Simon of Cyrene was plucked from the crowded way as Simon was simply travelling through Jerusalem from the country. 
.
The Ropes of the Cross of Y'SHU+
.
It is not so written in Scripture that there were any actual ropes or leather thongs used when they crucified Our LORD, although some Christian art would have us "see" ropes in a variety of ways in pictures of the crucifixion. 
 
.
 
This, however, we do know for certain: His+ binding came from within His+ heart. HE+ always did the Will of His+ Heavenly FATHER. 
.
 Y'SHU+ saith unto them,
My meat is to do the will
of HIM that sent ME+,
and to finish HIS work.
John 4:34
.

Saying, FATHER,
if THOU be willing,
remove this cup from ME+:
.
nevertheless not My+ will,
but Thine, be done.
Luke 22:42
.
The Ropes of the Cross of Y'SHU+
.
Are our hearts bound to that Cross of Y'SHU+ , the cross HE+ has chosen for us to bear, following HIM+ ? 
.
Do we have cords of love that bind us closely to His+ Will, no matter what the cost ?
.
Do we stand for the Truth of The LORD, as a true Servant of M'SHIKHA+?  Are we really His+ Servant, doing the Will of GOD from our hearts ?
.
Servants, be obedient to them
that are your masters
according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling,
in singleness of your heart,
as unto M'SHIKHA+; 
.
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers
but as the Servants of  M'SHIKHA+,
doing the Will of GOD
from the heart
.
Ephesians 6:5-6
.
Let us pray:
Dear LORD Y'SHU+, I acknowledge my guilt: I have sought to squirm out of doing Your+ Will.
So many times, I have taken the easy way out, not speaking Your+ Truth from the Scriptures in love, but just smiling and going on. I was not willing to pay the price. 
I have avoided the uncomfortable, the rejection and anger, which follows.
How shall I ever stand during persecution ?
Cleanse me from protecting Self. Cleanse me from hiding Your+ Truth.
I repent. Bind my heart to Yours+, O LORD. Bind my heart to do Your+ Will at all times.
Bind me to YOU+ ; I give You+ the cords of my heart, O LORD.
I offer this, my imperfect prayer, to YOU+, O M'SHIKHA+.

His+ First TRIUMPHAL ENTRANCE into Jerusalem ... But NOT His+ LAST !


SEE: The TIME-LINE for the PASCHA -- PASSOVER --- PASSION --- HOLY WEEK below the post.


The TRIUMPHAL ENTRY of THE M’SHIKHA+

The crowd went wild for they had seen the dead arise before their eyes, summoned by a Voice+ it knew.

The Grave obeyed THAT Voice+ , too, of HIM+ Who+ carries keys of Hades' grave which none stop still when HE+ arises in great TRIUMPH to do His+ FATHER'S Will.

Roaring sounds on hills abound. Shouting Pilgrims rushing, greeting this King+ Who+ raised their dead instead of stealing health and wealth like earth-bound rulers wrestle life from grapes and grain and subjects, freely.

Demanding naught, HE+ wept and taught the hurting to embrace the Life HE+ gave to spare their souls of death's lying. Behold, HE+ said, I have the keys to Hell's iron gate; death's own sting is waning, dying.

Facing combat at the Cross, enshrouded firm in FATHER'S Will, HE+ settled the score but took the loss; Divine Blood dropping before scourge or nail embedded HIM+ in Battle.

HOSANNA!

SAVE NOW !

Joyous, dancing, waving Crowds proclaimed with glee; the SON of David riding slowly on the un-ridden colt towards death to open Hades' gate, never done before or after-- so HE+ received these momentary lauds with tears ... instead of laughter.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem ... HE+ faced your gates with wrenching tears , seeing sorrow marking time to devour  the sons of Jerusalem who willed to kill the Prophets and now turning from His+ Coming.

Rejoice, rejoice O Bethany ! On this day, GOD came to Thee! They received their dead alive because HE+ came to revive His+ friend in time to see His+ own demise and RESURRECTION Power !

AGAIN and again and again and again...


+  +  +

The TIMELINE  of  -- PASCHA -- Passover --  Passion -- Holy Week

REMEMBER:  All events were intricately tied to the Jewish Passover Holy Days, as Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA was the UN-blemished Passover LAMB+, the LAMB+ of GOD.

1. Lazarus Saturday ~ The Raising of Lazarus of Bethany who had been dead 4 days, from the tomb.

2.The LORD'S Day ( i.e., Sunday ) ~ His+ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem ~ Following a great feast hosted by the family of Lazarus, a multitude from Bethany accompanied Y’SHU+ on His+ way in to Jerusalem. They were met by a multitude coming UP FROM Jerusalem, to greet the SON+ of DAVID.

3. Monday ~ The Second Cleansing of the Temple -- The merchants and money-changers were waxing profitably due to the influx of Passover Pilgrims coming into Jerusalem at this time.

4. Tuesday -- The Last Supper, the betrayal, and the drops of blood sweat in the Garden of Gesthemane, followed by the illegal night "trial" of The LORD.

5. Wednesday --- The Scourging,
the parade of the Cross-carrying through Jerusalem to Golgotha, the dreadful crucifixion at the 3rd Hour (  9 a.m.), the time of the morning sacrifice in the Temple.

The darkened sky from noon, the 6th Hour, until the 9th Hour ( 3 p.m.) when it was FINISHED and HE+ committed His+ spirit into the hands of The FATHER... at the time of the Evening Sacrifice in the Temple ... at which time the veil of the Temple was torn from TOP to the bottom.

Joseph of Arimathea laid His+ Body in the new Tomb.

First NIGHT in the heart of the earth.


6. Thursday --- High Holy Day. The HIGH Sabbath.

First DAY in the heart of the earth.

Second NIGHT in the heart of the earth.

7. Friday --- Day of Preparation for the regular Sabbath Day. The women went to buy spices to anoint His+ Body.

Second full DAY in the Heart of the earth.

Third full NIGHT in the Heart of the earth.

The "3 nights" in the heart of the earth were completed.



8. Saturday --- Regular Sabbath Day. The women rested.

The third full DAY in the heart of the earth
 was completed at 3 p.m. Saturday,
at the same hour
that HE+ died on the Cross
on Wednesday.

Having spent 3 full days and 3 full nights in the heart of the earth, as HE+ told us in Scriptures that HE+ would do,  from 3 p.m. Wednesday to 3 p.m. Saturday, His+ Resurrection had to occur at 3 p.m. Saturday.

However --- the FIRST WITNESSES, the women, did not SEE HIM+ until very early, before dawn, on The LORD'S day ( i.e., Sunday). That is when HE+ was revealed to them.

+  +  +

Having said all this, we remember that the Christian church services are commemorative, that is, we join together to REMEMBER these events.

Thus, we join with other The Followers of Y’SHU+ on Good Friday to commemorate His+ death and on Sunday to celebrate the REMEMBRANCE of His+ Glorious Resurrection.

Although there is no need to negate the truth of the timeline, there is also no need to cause more division in the Christian camp.

KNOCKED to the Earth... PRE-PASCHA MEDITATIONS ... EPHESIANS 1:1


The BLOOD of the PASSOVER LAMB+ ... effective now through  Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA, the True LAMB+ of GOD





A note to Syriac or Aramaic Christians: 



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 Pascha
(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 1:1


Paul, Apostle of Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA through GOD'S Will, to the holy ones, the ones being in Ephesus and faithful in M’SHIKHA Y’SHU+.

From the literal Greek, Byzantine textform, translation by SJH + + +

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

Ephesians 1:1 - PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, to those who are in Ephesos, saints and believers in Jeshu Meshiha:
Ephesians 1:1 - PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:
Ephesians 1:1 - PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to those who are in Ephe-sus, saints and believers in Jesus Christ:
+  +  +

Through GOD'S Will, Paul became an Apostle of Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA. He responded to The LORD when he was called. He was found to be faithful.

However, let us remember the FORCEFULNESS of that calling which was put upon "Saul" at the point of Paul's conversion.

Though a meticulously righteous man according to the Law of Moses,  Saul was such a devoted  enemy of Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA  that The LORD called him in a special way. Saul received an over-powering vision which made him fall to the earth, trembling and astonished, Acts 9.

Are we as righteous as Saul ?  Do we ALSO need to be knocked to the earth in order to respond to the Living LORD ... totally and with all that is within us ? 

Recently we finished the season of EMMANUEL+ --- GOD-Who+-is-Alive With us --  coming to earth.

The LORD Y’SHU+ took on human flesh, becoming INCARNATE for one purpose: for the human suffering of death.

Undoubtedly HE+ could have vanquished the satan WITHOUT becoming incarnate. But HE+ could not have suffered human death like we do without becoming incarnate. 

And being found in fashion as a man, HE+ humbled HIMSELF+, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. Philippians 2  

 Again... are we as righteous as that righteous man, Saul, before his conversion to Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA? 

Do we ALSO need to be knocked to the earth in order to respond to the Living LORD ... totally...  and with all that is within us ? 

Are we keeping ANYTHING back from our LORD Y’SHU+ ? 

Is HE+ The LORD of our time... our thoughts... our spirit ... our activities?

Are we accounted faithful and numbered with the "holy ones" like the Followers of Y’SHU+ in Ephesus?

LET US PRAY:

Dear Heavenly FATHER, the GOD and FATHER of Our LORD Y’SHU+  and His+ faithful followers...

Once again, I find myself in need of Divine Help to empty myself of SELF, in order to do Thy+ Will, O LORD. 

I renounce my Self's indulgence. I renounce my unconcerned satisfaction with my own spiritual growth.  I renounce ignoring the call to Quietness with THEE+.

 Place in me the will to STRIVE to GO DEEPER with THEE+, O Y’SHU+.

Fearful as I am, grant me an over-whelming vision also... and knock me to the ground if so required.  Pull me to THYSELF+, O HOLY ONE+ of Israel.

Remove from me luke-warmness of heart and languishing zeal. Send the lightening of conviction into my self-satisfied soul; I rebuke my Self, in the Name of The LORD Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA.

Help me to embrace death to Self in every aspect of my being, like Thy+ Apostle Paul, so that I may expend  the rest of my allotted time on earth for THEE+, O Y’SHU+.

In Whose+ Name I pray, and by Whose+ Merits I am not destroyed in the face of Thy HOLINESS, O Gracious FATHER.  Amen.


+  +  +


Glory be to The FATHER,
and to His Beloved SON+
Y’SHU+ the M’SHIKHA,
and to
the Blessed RUACH haKADOSH.

ONE GOD:
FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT,
both now and forever,
world without end.
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
