WHAT Does Our LORD Hear ?.... Pre-PASCHA Meditations.... Ephesians 1:15

Our LORD Hears...

PRE-PASCHA MEDITATIONS

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 Pre- 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.

Meditation Verse 

Ephesians 1:15

Wherefore I also,

after I heard of your faith

in the LORD Y’SHU+ and

love unto all the saints…

The literal Greek:  For this reason , I also hearing the faith concerning you all in The LORD Y’SHU+ and the love towards all the saints,

+  +  +

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

- ܡܶܛܽܠ ܗܳܢܳܐ ܐܳܦ݂ ܐܶܢܳܐ ܗܳܐ ܡܶܢ ܕ݁ܫܶܡܥܶܬ݂ ܗܰܝܡܳܢܽܘܬ݂ܟ݂ܽܘܢ ܕ݁ܰܒ݂ܡܳܪܰܢ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܡܫܺܝܚܳܐ ܘܚܽܘܒ݁ܟ݂ܽܘܢ ܕ݁ܰܠܘܳܬ݂ ܩܰܕ݁ܺܝܫܶܐ

Ephesians 1:15 - ON account of this, behold, I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and your love to all the saints,

Ephesians 1:15 - Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Y’SHU+ the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,

Ephesians 1:15 - Wherefore I also, since I heard of your faith in our LORD Y’SHU+ The M’SHIKHA+, and your love toward all the saints,

Meditation

Reports came to the Apostle Paul regarding the Followers of Y’SHU+ in Ephesus.

Here, then, were the reports:

The Ephesian Followers of Y’SHU+ were KNOWN for their faith in THE M’SHIKHA+.

They were also KNOWN for the AgapA love they issued toward all the saints... their fellow brethren in THE M’SHIKHA+.

Can this be said of us?

What kind of report about us would the Apostle Paul hear if he were alive on earth today ?

Are we supportive of the Brethren in THE M’SHIKHA+ whom we know ? Are we supportive individually as well as collectively ?

Do we love the Brethren enough to warn them when they go astray from the Narrow Way that leads unto Life Eternal?

Do we kindly and gently, with support, issue correction when Brethren walk or talk against Scripture ?

Or rather, do we play at love and try to keep everybody "happy" with that  "warm and accepted" feeling …  at the expense of THE M’SHIKHA+ ?

Do we indulge in "friendship evangelism" ... i.e., "just come to our church and we will love you into the Kingdom of GOD"... while not requiring true repentance and conversion and amendment of life ?

Are we known for our faith in THE M’SHIKHA+ when the presses of life occur ?

Is our faith of SUCH depth that we can stand firm in the face of depression and oppression    ?

Is our faith dependant on wealth? On our health ? On others ? On our family being intact ?

Hard times, troublous times, turbulent times --- beyond those normal things that come upon all persons --- are at the door.  They have already descended in horror upon many in the rest of the world.

It is a living nightmare what the Followers of Y’SHU+ are enduring in North Korea, Syria and the Middle East, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Sudan, and other African nations…  and now it is beginning in Europe.

Persecution is coming closer to home.

It is reported that one well-known Western nation's current leader covers the Cross of Y’SHU+ if he must enter into a building or room where it is hanging.

It is a fact that that same leader refused to attend the funeral of a Supreme Court judge because the funeral service was in a Church and the LORD Y’SHU+ THE M’SHIKHA+ was proclaimed.

There is an abundance of politicians vying for leadership who openly, proudly, and stridently support ungodly life-styles and Agendas, including the killing of babies in the womb and "harvesting" their "valuable" organs. ( An unthinkable, grotesque form of humanity trying to play "god." )

As a matter of fact, killing humanity is the hidden but primary Agenda of most of these programs... from GMO seeds to enforced “health care” from the cradle to the grave.  

Any one who refuses to personally participate in any unrighteous programs that go against GOD'S WORD will make himself a target. 

One report from a reputable ministry stated that the Agenda is to remove all The Christian witness from the public eye.   This has already taken place in some countries in Europe; it is only a matter of time before it occurs closer to home.

Take HEED, Church:

We CANNOT correct

SPIRITUAL problems

with political solutions,

so guns and voting

and civil "movements"

are NOT the realm

for Followers of Y’SHU+. 

There are

NO political solutions

to SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS.

Y’SHU+ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. HE+ alone is able to correct the spiritual sickness engulfing this world.

Instead of standing for guns, voting rights, civil movements, and weeping over the flag, we must stand for Y’SHU+.

We must weep

over this Sin-Sick World. 

And the Sin-Sick Worldlings,

both in control and out-of-control, 

are not going to like that.

Will our faith stand in the face of persecution ?

Will our faith stand when the enemies of Y’SHU+ THE M’SHIKHA+ make us choose to conform to their ungodly programs and accept un-holy life-styles ... or face persecution ?

Will we love the Brethren… or turn them in if they preach a righteousness based on Scripture instead of the ever-changing societal norms ?

What will

our LORD and SAVIOR

Y’SHU+ THE M’SHIKHA+

be hearing about us ?

+  +  +

Let us pray:

O, LORD Y’SHU+, we need help. YOU+ know what is coming before YOU+ arrive to re-claim the earth.

We are weak and shallow; we have not been tested as our Brethren have across the sea.

We think if we don't have the right food at the right time or the right house we are bearing a cross.

We know the Refiner's Fire is determined upon all the earth.  Help us to grow solid in YOU+.

LORD Y’SHU+, I say I love YOU+; help me to pick up the Cross of discipleship before the Cross of Persecution comes.

Help me NOT to shy away from spiritual discipline; I will not be ABLE to shy away from persecution.

Show me, O LORD Y’SHU+, how to stand against my own flesh and submit myself unto Your+ Word.

I accept that the Time of Preparation is NOW to train myself to deny my flesh... so that I do not deny YOU+ when my hour of testing comes.

YOU+ went to the Cross -- alone --- so that I would not have to go through ANYTHING without YOU+.

Help me, LORD Y’SHU+.

For Thy+ Name's 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.

Syrian IRENAEUS Describes the 5 POINTS of HIS+ CROSS...

In detail, IRENAEUS  describes 

the 5 points 

of the CROSS 

Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA

+  +  +

IRENAEUS, ( c. 120 - 202 ), Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 1,  Irenaeus Against Heresies , Book 2, Chapter 24, Section 4.  ~  In dealing with heretics, "The Folly of Arguments Derived by the Heretics from Numbers, etc." 

4. But that this point is true, that that number which is called five, which agrees in no respect with their argument, and does not harmonize with their system, nor is suitable for a typical manifestation of the things in the Pleroma, [yet has a wide prevalence,] will be proved as follows from the Scriptures. 

Soter is a name of five letters; Pater, too, contains five letters;

Agape (love), too, consists of five letters; and our LORD, after blessing the five loaves, fed with them five thousand men. 

Five virgins were called wise by the LORD; and, in like manner, five were styled foolish. 

Again, five men are said to have been with the LORD when He obtained testimony from the FATHER, — namely, Peter, and James, and John, and Moses, and Elias. 

The LORD also, as the fifth person, entered into the apartment of the dead maiden, and raised her up again; for, says [the Scripture], “He suffered no man to go in, save Peter and James, and the father and mother of the maiden.” 

The rich man in Hell declared that he had five brothers, to whom he desired that one rising from the dead should go. 

The pool from which the LORD commanded the paralytic man to go into his house, had five porches. 

The very form of the cross, too, has five extremities, two in length, two in breadth, and one in the middle, on which [last] the person rests who is fixed by the nails. 

Each of our hands has five fingers; we have also five senses; our internal organs may also be reckoned as five, viz., the heart, the liver, the lungs, the spleen, and the kidneys. 

Moreover, even the whole person may be divided into this number [of parts], — the head, the breast, the belly, the thighs, and the feet. 

The human race passes through five ages first infancy, then boyhood, then youth, then maturity, and then old age. 

Moses delivered the law to the people in five books. Each table which he received from GOD contained five commandments. 

The veil covering the holy of holies had five pillars. 

The altar of burnt-offering also was five cubits in breadth. 

Five priests were chosen in the wilderness, — namely, Aaron, Nadab, Abiud, Eleazar, Ithamar. 

The ephod and the breastplate, and other sacerdotal vestments, were formed out of five materials; for they combined in themselves gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. 

And there were five kings of the Amorites, whom Joshua the son of Nun shut up in a cave, and directed the people to trample upon their heads. 

Any one, in fact, might collect many thousand other things of the same kind, both with respect to this number and any other he chose to fix upon, either from the Scriptures, or from the works of nature lying under his observation.

+  +  +

The folly of arguing that there IS NO "CROSS" upon which Y'SHUA+ the M'SHIKHA was crucified is apparent. 

Is it not folly to CHANGE a word in the Holy Writ ... without some linguistic authority to do so ?  

Yet, the Netzarim Publishing house's version of the New Covenant, translated by Mr. Andrew Roth , has done this very thing. 

Is it not folly  to  IGNORE the Early Church apologists who wrote about Pre-Nicene Christianity in the 100 to 200's AD ... and pretend we know better than these early followers of Y'SHU+ who obviously were taught by men who were taught of the Apostles and Evangelists and Disciples of Y'SHU+ ... firsthand ?  

Yet, the AENT published by the Netzarim Publishing House has done so. 

Is it not folly  to cast aside the wisdom of Justin Martyr, Ignatius, and Irenaeus .... and establish one's own doctrine which conflicts with these martyrs of Y'SHU+ ? 

Yet, the Netzarim's AENT has done so.

+  +  + 

In the coming months and years, fellow followers of Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA, we will 

ALL NEED TO ADHERE 

to sound doctrine and to each other, 

as the kingdom of the 10 Kings of Revelation 17:12   wreak havoc with us all... beheading us, driving us from our homes as the Syrians have been driven, marking us and our homes with the "N" for Nazarene , as has been done in Iraq.

Times are NOT going to become "better" but rather, worse as the time approaches of His+ 2nd Appearing. 

Be wise, be wise. Tolerate only the TRUTH+... for in HIM+ will be our only place of safety on planet earth.

Thousands have already paid the price .... just like the Early Christians did .... for following Y'SHU+.  Do not think for a moment that we will escape the wrath and demonized policies of the 10 kings, set to destroy the human race. Christians and Jews especially are targeted. 

Maranatha, LORD Y'SHU+, Maranatha. 

ONE Nation Under GOD , The ELOHIM...

Khabouris C, Courtesy of DUKHRANA.com

That "nation" which was born in a Day! 

That "nation" which was born without a shot being fired!  

That "nation" which was the WORK of HIM that sitteth upon the Throne and The LAMB+ ... the work that occurred in the heart of the earth about 2000 years ago. 

YESHUA+ HA MASHIKAH+ did not descend into the heart of the earth in order to punish NOR to BE punished. 

Rather, HE+ descended into the heart of the earth to create a NEW Nation that had never before existed: That one nation under GOD... and it was not a political nor geographical unit; it was a spiritual entity. HE+ took the prepared  ones to Heaven, but at the same time, HE+ established others here upon earth as part of that New Nation.  

This spiritual kingdom was a "plural ONE", created to reflect with accuracy the character and united plurality of The ELOHIM:  The FATHER Almighty, HIS Holy, Only-Begotten SON+ YESHUA+ HA MASHIKAH+, and the Blessed RUACH haKADOSH ( the HOLY SPIRIT). 

Does Scripture bear this out? 

YES. 

Furthermore, it is especially clear when the Aramaic and Greek New Covenant texts are seen together, as a whole.  Each amplifies and complements the other... and thus the TOTAL is greater than the sum of the parts. 

Do we NEED this amplified picture?

YES. 

This splintered church age desperately needs all the details for the completed picture of what HE+ did "down there" in order to understand what HE+ is going to do "up here" at HIS+ great and imminent return. 

WHY do we need to see this picture 

accurately? 

As our precious Christian brethren in Syria, the Sudan, Indonesia, North Korea, India, the Sinai, and in countless other locations are being hounded, hunted, and injured with intense, demonic hatred... we need to encourage and help them in any way open to us. 

We need to help these dear martyrs and confessors to stand firm with the hope that is laid up before them in MASHIKAH+. This New Nation Under GOD is part of that Eternal Hope. 

In addition, we need to gird up our OWN loins and be prepared to stand strong for that same Truth, as we inevitably will be facing the same hatred, the same hostility, the same harm that is PROMISED to come upon all the earth. 

The ELOHIM is no respecter of persons; HE loves all, but has no favorites that will be excluded from this last great persecution of HIS+ people. 

NO. No physical nation is yet that "one nation under God" and no physical nation is that distinct "Israel of GOD,"  ...yet. 

His+ Kingdom is not YET of this world, because if it were, then would His+ Servants fight. 

His+ Kingdom NOW is spiritual... currently scattered out among all kindred, tongues, peoples, and nations... in addition to the Church Triumphant in the Heavenly realms which HE+ established as HE+ "took captivity captive."  

But, there is coming a Day when they will be brought together into One Fold, with One SHEPHERD+ , the whole house of Israel... the Prince of EL. 

Keeping that clearly in mind, let us do as the ancient Bereans and "see if it be so" from Scriptures. 

The next blogs, LORD be willing, plan to include the details,  the parts of the puzzle, to see how it all fits together, making ONE NATION, UNDER GOD , The ELOHIM.

We will begin by looking at the Aramaic and Greek words in Acts 2:24, in the prophetic realm. 

YES, we need each other.
