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

QUALIFIED TO BE IN THE ELECT ? .... Pre-PASCHA Meditations ... Ephesians 1:17



PRE-PASCHA MEDITATIONS

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 1: 17


[ 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers;]

That the GOD
of our LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA,
The FATHER of Glory,
may give unto you
the SPIRIT of Wisdom
and revelation
in the knowledge
of HIM+:

A Peek at the Greek:
·                     The word that is "hina", which means in order that.

·                    The word used here for wisdom is sophia, which is generally used in the NT as "the ability to USE knowledge for correct behavior, insight."  ( Friberg's Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament).

·                    The Greek word here for knowledge is actually a compound word, with the prefix EPI-- attached to the beginning of gn0sksei , "gnOskO" =  to know.

  Strong's Concordance tells us that EPI has a basic meaning of superimposition. Friberg's AnLex tells us that "epign0sis" is "what one comes to know and appropriate through faith in the M'SHIKHA+.

Vine's Expository Dictionary includes discern or discernment in the definition of EPIGN0SIS.

In other words, this EPI-GN0SEI is a supernatural discernment which comes through faith in the M'SHIKHA+ via the RUACH ha KADOSH... not merely a factual head knowledge.


+  +  +

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

 1:17 - ܕܐܠܗܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܕܓܠܝܢܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܗ ܀

Ephesians 1:17 - that the God of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of glory, would give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in his knowledge,
Ephesians 1:17 - that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;
Ephesians 1:17 - So that the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

+  +  +
 +  +  +
Meditation

That the GOD of our LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA, The FATHER of Glory, may give unto you the SPIRIT of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of HIM+:

The phrase which starts this verse,  "In order that..." , tells us that it is connected in thought to the verse above it.  The Apostle Paul never ceases to pray for the new believers in the M'SHIKHA+ ... in order that Our FATHER Who art in Heaven will do something out-standing for them. 

What is that out-standing "something" that the world CANNOT --- is not able --- to receive but even New-born Believers can have ?  

...The FATHER of Glory,  may give unto you the SPIRIT of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of HIM+:

Our FATHER'S gift to us is the RUACH ha KADOSH'S ability to use Wisdom to correct our behavior. HE grants us insight as to our motives and the "why" we do things un-like the M'SHIKHA+, through this priceless SPIRIT of Wisdom. 

Furthermore, we are given something else the worldlings do not have: revelation... an UNcovering.  This "uncovering" includes revealing to the Light+ the darkness that hides the evil one's doings, his illusions, in our lives.

For the follower of Y'SHU+, the satan's workings are no longer hidden from view: we can pin-point our impure motives, our guile, our wounds, and our sins which the satan often hides from us, trying to keep us in bondage.  This also comes only via the RUACH ha KADOSH, our priceless gift from The FATHER.

...The FATHER of Glory,  may give unto you the SPIRIT of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of HIM+:

The Apostle also asks The FATHER to grant believers the EPI-GNOSIS, the supernatural  discernment of Y'SHU+ our LORD.  This also, like the Apostle Paul's other prayer requests, comes through the RUACH ha KADOSH, the SPIRIT of Wisdom.

The world and its worldlings CANNOT --- are not even able --- to receive these gifts of discernment and Wisdom because they only go to Followers of Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA.

They only go to the ones who have heard the call of the M'SHIKHA+ in their hearts and have RESPONDED to that call ... in a way that pleases HIM+.

They only are granted to the ones who are placed into that pre-defined flock, for they have identified with the M'SHIKHA+ in His+ death. 

They are the Followers who search out their inner motives, who listen to the RUACH ha KADOSH when conviction of sin and impurity of motives are revealed. 

They put to death their flesh now and bring their bodies into subjection unto The Word of GOD, like the Apostle Paul did. 

They have died with the M'SHIKHA+, so that they might live with HIM+.  THEY DO SO DAILY, through the power and help of the RUACH ha KADOSH. 

Here is what identifies "The Elect" : 

They cannot stand ANYTHING
which comes
between them and Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA.

That is why
"The Elect" die to Self daily
and live for the M'SHIKHA+.



These are the ones
who meet the QUALIFICATIONS

to be in that group
called "The Elect"

which Our FATHER
draws near to HIM.
  

That is the group which Our FATHER established, setting up the QUALIFICATIONS before the foundation of the world, before mankind lived on planet earth.

How can we be certain about this, that QUALIFICATIONS were established to belong to the group called "The Elect " ? 

We know this is true because The LAMB+ was slain from the foundation of the World ! --- before GOD even created man from earth.  Revelation 13:8.

Are you
MEETING THE QUALIFICATIONS
to be in
"The ELECT" ?

Not only did the Apostle Paul speak of these QUALIFICATIONS to be in "The ELECT," but also the Apostle Peter taught the same Truth.

Hear this:

  2 Peter 1: 10
 Wherefore the rather, brethren,

give diligence
to make your calling
and election sure:

for if ye do these things,
ye shall never fall:

2 Peter 1:2-3
According as His Divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto Life and Godliness,
through the knowledge
 [ EPI-GNOSIS ]
of HIM+
that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
+  +  +
Let us pray:

O Ruler of the Universe, LORD GOD, YHWH ADONAINU, great deeds are they which YOU have done, surpassing human understanding.

Your ways are ways of Righteousness and Truth, O King+ of all the ages. 

Who can fail to do YOU homage, LORD, and sing the praises of Your Name ? For YOU only are the HOLY ONE.

All nations will draw near and fall down before YOU, because Your Righteous and HOLY works have been revealed ! 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.

Practical WISDOM+ ... PRE-PASCHA MEDITATIONS .... Ephesians 1:8 ... Wisdom of GOD


Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA... the Wisdom of GOD


PRE-PASCHA MEDITATIONS



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 Monastic-At-Heart

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 1:8

Wherein HE hath abounded toward us
in all wisdom and prudence;**

Analysis:  HE, again, is referring to The FATHER WHO has given us the fullness, the riches, of HIS Grace ... through HIS SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA.

** This is  part of one LONG sentence, extending from verse 4 to verse 10. The subject, the one doing all these things for us THROUGH HIS BELOVED SON+  ...  is The FATHER !

Let us look closely at that word prudence.

Vine's calls prudence "practical wisdom." It is a thoughful use of that wisdom and understanding granted unto us. It involves a discretion in applying what we know.

Prudence, in Webster's, is the ability to discipline and govern oneself with the use of reason. 

Thus, this verse is telling us that we have HELP in developing prudence in our daily lives  We have HELP to make decisions that are Right in His+ eyes.  We have HELP by means of this prudence so that we do not stumble into a trap.

So read:
 [The FATHER WHO has given us the fullness, the riches, of HIS Grace  through HIS SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA...] Which HE abounded unto us in all wisdom and practical understanding
+  +  +
 

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

Ephesians 1:8 - which he hath made to abound in us in all wisdom and in all understanding of the Spirit;
Ephesians 1:8 - which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
Ephesians 1:8 - That that grace which has abounded in us, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

+  +  +

Meditation

Our Heavenly FATHER made a way for us to walk in the fullness of Grace, no matter what our level of education might be.

This fullness of Grace comes through HIS SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA.  In Y’SHU+ our LORD, we have already received all wisdom and the knowledge of how to apply this Divine Wisdom in our daily lives. This  prudence is readily available for the asking.

Marvelous !  Marvelous provision for our life here on earth ! A marvelous promise to conduct our lives around the pitfalls of life. 

Through Y’SHU+ our LORD, we can now avoid the regrets in life that most human beings make... provided, of course,  that we follow M’SHIKHA Y’SHU+ with our whole hearts.

If we ignore Our LORD, if we ignore His+ Words, if we ignore the words of His+ hand-picked disciples wrote under the inspiration of The RUACH HA KADOSH, we will assuredly pierce ourselves through with many arrows of regret.

We will make decisions based on our flesh and our emotions instead of His+ Divine Wisdom and we will reap sorrow for decisions that cannot be changed. 

The consequences will be ours to live with... a broken marriage that never should have been in the first place, an illegitimate child who is in our lap for the rest of our lives, a constant reminder of our sin.

Perhaps there was a suicide which could have been prevented, or a soul with whom we neglected to share the Gospel message... and then he suddenly died.

These regrets would have been avoided if we had walked in Divine Wisdom and applied Wisdom's discipline and governing of our emotions and fleshly man.

These regrets would have been avoided if we would have submitted our Self to His+ Words. 

These regrets would have been avoided if we would have allowed His+ RUACH to rule us instead of our emotions.

This verse in Ephesians 1:8 tells us that GOD has granted us the POWER to walk in Divine, practical Wisdom guiding our life ... through Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA when we follow Him+ seriously.

In other words, Divine Wisdom is totally available to us in all matters. As a matter of FACT, this Divine Wisdom is not only given to us freely, it abounds towards us !

It comes to us in GREAT ABUNDANCE for the asking !  

How do we receive it ?

WE QUIET OURSELVES
BEFORE M’SHIKHA. 

We humble ourselves when we read our daily Scripture passages and ask: LORD, am I doing this?  LORD Y’SHU+, how do I apply this in my walk with THEE+ ?

If we are SERIOUS about it, The LORD Y’SHU+ will show us how to empty our Self of our own values and ways and replace them with His+ values and ways, as stated in Scriptures.

Is Divine Wisdom still elusive?

Then, we must seek His+ Face more deeply.

We ONLY will experience Divine Wisdom, though, if we are good stewards of it. 

Sadly, Divine Wisdom and understanding do us NO GOOD if we refuse to let it govern us... in all things.

Do we WANT
His+ Divine Wisdom
to govern us ?  


+  +  +
Let us pray:

O Gracious and Life-Giving LORD, I thank THEE for providing for me a way to walk without regrets in my life.

I know that Way+ is through Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA our LORD. 

I thank THEE for granting me Divine Wisdom and the ability to apply it in my life.

I have no excuse for my regrets I have reaped following my own flesh and my emotions, trying to make my happiness my own way.

THOU, O Righteous FATHER, have no fault in the matter. My unhappiness is my own fault, for THOU hast promised to heal me of every wound.

It is all mine for not following Thy Beloved SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA and letting Him+ govern me, instead of my flesh and emotions ruling my life.  

I confess that I have not been a good steward of the abundance of Wisdom and discernment granted to me in M’SHIKHA Y’SHU+.

I lament some of my choices, my self-made prison of regrets. I repent of taking advantage of Thy "mercy and grace" in order to walk my own way, to do my own will.

O Righteous Redeemer+, I ask for forgiveness and cleansing.

Take not Thy RUACH HA KADOSH from me.

I forsake my ways and will wait upon THEE+, now. I will learn to be a good steward of Thy Wisdom.

Do with me as THOU+ choosest, and I will be blest.

In the Name of Thy Beloved SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA I offer these my imperfect prayers.  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+ 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.

+  +  +

Worthy is the LAMB+.
