Ephraim: Letter 357 (the sound of the day)

Can we do תפילות prayers for:

Ephraim & Rimona Frank?

So that through them The האור Light, רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוה Yeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?

Shalom Fellow Israelite,
On the sixth day Elohim created a more complex form of nephesh chaya (living soul), than He had done hitherto. These living beings were permeated with instincts and learning capabilities that could respond to discipline, or training, by yet another species, man, who was the last on the list of creation. Unlike those who reproduce by oviposition (egg-depositing), these sixth day creatures, which have to carry their young in their own bodies for a term, would be reproducing in smaller numbers. They would also depend for their survival upon a more sophisticated eco-system.

The groundwork had now been laid by Elohim for the crown of His creation, the one genus that would become the expression and heart of His own nature, and would be given the responsibility to name, administer, rule, and serve the rest of the living creatures that had been brought forth previously.
“Then Elohim said, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the ground’” (Genesis 1:26 emphasis added). “And YHVH Elohim formed man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living (literally) soul” (nephesh) (Genesis 2:7).
As we see from the above quote, YHVH Elohim created Adam from the dust of the earth. As was noted on the third day, the earth and its dust were brought forth from “the lower spiritual waters,” a realm that was governed by the spirit world of darkness. Natural man was going to be YHVH Elohim’s expression or conduit to subdue, rule over, and put into order this domain of chaos, disorder, and rebellion. In other words, male and female would have the delegated authority to establish YHVH’s kingdom here on earth, as it exists in heaven. But because Adam and Eve were created from this very earthy and natural substance, they had an inherent weakness which would ultimately show up and express itself. Paul describes this condition: “… sown in corruption … sown in dishonor … sown in weakness … sown a natural body …” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). How is it that both male and female could look like Elohim and yet be earthy? How can something created from a substance of darkness be an expression of the Light?
YHVH planted, or should I say “breathed” into natural man a mystery.
Unlike the beings that the Creator has brought forth up until now, the creation of Man involved a process, which we will now examine.
“Let us make man – adam - in our image [tzelem], according to our likeness [d’mut] let them have dominion…” (Genesis 1:26). Thus, the word of Elohim goes forth, declaring only His intent at this point. But in the following verse (27) we are given further and essential details: “So Elohim created man in His image; in the image [tzelem] of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them.” Notice that when it comes to the actual creation of man, Elohim creates him in “His image,” but not (yet) in His likeness. And although Elohim starts out with mentioning singular “man” (as He also did in the declaration phase (v.26), He immediately points out that there is more than one, there is a plurality, and what’s more this plurality is signified by “male” AND “female.” Also notice, that Elohim (being a plural word in and of itself) says “let us,” when creating ‘an entity’ in His own image and likeness. It is no wonder, therefore, that this newly created being is a plural entity!
From here we move to the actual “work” of creation, or the making of this new species. “And YHVH Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground…,
(Genesis 2:7). In the very ‘down to earth’ act of bringing forth this creature, YHVH Elohim is said to have “formed” him, denoted by the verb “va-yitzar,” which also exists as a noun – “yetzer” (in Genesis 6-5 and 8:21), translated as “thoughts” and “imagination’ (respectively) which are “evil.”
Perhaps man’s inherent weakness, with which he was created (as we saw above), is hinted at here by the usage of this revealing verb.
It is here where the mystery is revealed, as YHVH Elohim is seen Himself, literally, “blowing” (va’yipach) the “nishmat chayim,” the breath of life, into this dust man, which renders him, like the rest of the living creatures a “nefesh chaya,” that is a “living being” (Genesis 2:7). But yet, uniquely, Adam was the only one of all the creatures who received the “neshmah” of Elohim directly into him. In this manner YHVH hid His presence/seed within the clay vessel whom He formed from the dust.
Before we continue further to examine the process of the formation of the human race, let us pause and look at the noun “nefesh.” “Nefesh” is rooted in the consonants n.p/f.sh (noon, pey/fey,shin), which form the verb “nafosh,” as it appears in Exodus 31:17: “…in six days YHVH Elohim made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed - va’yinafesh.” Refreshing , rest and repose, point to the original condition of YHVH’s created beings issuing out of His restfulness. The Shabbat rest, in which He is said to have been “refreshed,” indicates, therefore, that this climactic day was to reflect fact that the “work” of creation did not issue out of toil and sweat, but rather, that it came out of rest and repose, and may I add, will also end up being restored to this very condition.
We return now to the process of creation or the making of humanity, which is not over yet. In chapter 2, we read the following: “And YHVH Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which YHVH Elohim had taken from man He made – literally, built - into a woman…” (vv.21,22). We noticed before that the “likeness” part – the d’mut – of YHVH was omitted when He created “adam” (man). Could it be that now, in the construction of the “rib” into the woman, the fullness of the “image” AND the “likeness” could be realized?
The seeming split that has occurred in Adam, being divided now into two entities, was only in order to bring these entities together again as “one flesh,” so as to allow the “life” that they had been endowed with to continue propagating (hence, “be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth”).
In this climactic act of creation, YHVH Elohim clearly reveals Himself as being very Life itself, as well as demonstrating, through Man and Woman and their “construction,’ the nature and characteristics of His own unseen realities.
Shabbat Shalom and “may your name be written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

In the Light of the “One Day” that I wrote about in letter 531 (the Word becomes Light) we read the following: “And Elohim called the Light “Day” (Genesis 1:5). This “Day,” like the Light, is eternal. It continues through all the other seven days (and beyond), and is the reason that in the Hebrew we read: “One Day” - “Yom Echad,” and not “first day” – “yom rishon.”
This is the “Day” that is described by Peter: “as a light that shines in a dark place, until the Day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts”, (1 Peter 1:19), which actually should have been rendered as “the Day [that] dawns and its Light rises in your hearts” (as “star” has been added, and not found in the Greek). This is the same Light that Paul refers to in 2nd Corinthians 4:6: “For it is Elohim who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of Yeshua the Messiah.” As I was reading through the text of Genesis 3, I came across verse 8, which reads: “And they [Adam and Eve] heard the sound/voice of YHVH Elohim walking in the garden in the cool of the day…” There is a lot to be said about this verse, but the one point that stood out in the “light” was “the cool of the day.” When I checked the Hebrew text it said, “l’ruach ha’yom” (“by the spirit - wind, breath - of the day”). It occurred to me that each day has its own particular spiritual sound or message. But if we are to hear that same voice walking with us, we must live and walk in the Spirit of the “One Day.” Galatians 5:25 says: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit,” and 1John 1:7 states: “…walk in the light as He is in the light.” We will not be able to hear is voice if we are not in the “spirit of the Day.” If we have proclaimed YHVH to be our Elohim, and if we say that we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand, then “today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, as in the day of trial in the wilderness” (ref. Psalm 95:7-8; Hebrew 3:7,8). YHVH will create our circumstances each and every day for the purpose of hearing His voice. Yom T’ruah is a special “Day,” which is particularly signified by and dedicated to the “sound,” a sound that heralds the coming Days of Repentance. This repentance focuses on the hardening of our hearts, so that we are obstructed from hearing His voice, just as our forefathers did in the wilderness. It still remains for us today to walk in His ways, and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, so that we may hear and obey His voice. He warns us that if we do not, we will not enter His rest: “So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living Elohim; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:11-13). “With trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully before YHVH, the King… For He is coming to judge the earth, with righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity” (Psalm 98:6; 9).Shabbat Shalom http://weeklyparashahebrewinsights.blogspot.com/ Parashot Nitzavim Deut 29:10-Ch.30

Please Say Yes to Abba Yahweh and His Laws.

It is written in the Koran:
‘1. Surah Al-Fatihah:

1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
2. All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
3. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
4. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
5. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
6. Guide us to the Straight Way
7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

This is the 'start' in the Koran......

Please read the Mitzvoth go to: Positive Commandments and the Negative Commandments), easy to read. It is very important to know them. I don’t ask you this to become a good Jew! But to learn who you really are. That you can find your real identity. In a good understanding of the rest of The Scriptures. And that you understand that Rabbi Shaul is talking to a real Israel,

1Co 10:1 I do not want you to be without da'as (knowledge), Achim (brothers) b(in) 'Moshiach, that Avoteinu (our fore Fathers, you Yehudah and Ephraim! Nobody else.) all were under the anan (cloud),

(‘Achim (brothers) b(in)Moshiach are Yehudah and Ephraim who were all under the anan (cloud). The seed (literal) of Abraham, Yitzhak and Ya’acob) read it for yourself :)

Exo 13:21 And Yahweh went before them (Yehudah and Ephraim -Israel) by day in an ammud anan (‘Pillar of a cloud), to guide them haderech (the Way); and by lailah (night) in an ammud eish (‘Pillar of fire), to give them ohr (light); so they could travel yomam valailah (day or night);

Exo 13:22 He took not away the amud heanan (‘Pillar of a cloud) by day, nor the ammud haeish (‘Pillar of fire) by night, from before HaAm (the people, Yehudah and Ephraim) and passed through the sea.
Exo 14:22 And the Bnei Yisroel (Yehudah and Ephraim) then went into the middle of the yam (sea) upon the yabashah (dry land); and the mayim (waters) were a chomah (wall) unto them on their right, and on their left.

Exo 14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the yam (sea), even kol sus (all horses) Pharaoh, his chariots, and his parash (rider).

Exo 14:24 So it came to pass, that when came the watch of the boker (morning), Yahweh looked down on the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt) through the ammud eish (pillar of fire) and of the anan (cloud), and caused confusion over the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt),

Exo 14:25 And turned awry their chariot wheels, that they drove them with difficulty; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the presence of Yisroel (really when Yehudah and Ephraim where together, not like today); because Yahweh fighting for them against the Egyptians,
So let we further listen what Rabbi Shaul has really to say:)

1Co 10:2 And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah (a ‘mikwah’ immersed) in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,

1Co 10:3 And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate [SHEMOT 16:4,35; DEVARIM 8:3; TEHILLIM 78:24-29],

1Co 10:4 And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR (Rock) following them [SHEMOT 17:6; BAMIDBAR 20:11; TEHILLIM 78:15; 105:41], and that TZUR was Moshiach (Yeshuah – Yeshuah Yahweh).

And now one of our neviim:

Hab 2:3 For the chazon (vision) is yet for a mo’ed (an appointed time); it speaks of HaKetz (the End), and does not lie; though it tarry, wait for him

Moshiach— see: Sanhedrin 97b, ‘It has been taught; R. Nathan said: This verse pierces and descends to the very abyss:11 For the Vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though he tarry, wait for him (Moshiach); because it will surely come, it will not tarry.12]; because he (Moshiach) will surely come, and will not tarry.

(11) Just as the bottom of an abyss cannot be reached, so is it impossible to grasp the full purport of this verse (Rashi).
(12) Hab. II, 3.

Believe…..

Hab 2:4 Hinei (behold), his nashamah (soul) which is puffed up is not upright in him; but the tzaddik (righteous) shall live by his emunah (believe).

Through Moshiach, Yeshuah from Yahweh who give you emunah (believe)…..

Gen 15:6 And he believed in Yahweh; and He credited emunah (faith)] to him as tzedakah (righteousness).

Please read the whole book of HaNavi Habakuk?

The Koran teaches us that you have to die…….

But, please Yudah (Jews) and Ephraim (most Christians) Listen to His Voice:

Hab 1:12 Art thou not mikedem

(‘everlasting’ also said of Moshiach, indicating Moshiach’s eternal divine nature: Dan 7:14 And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty, that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet. [1] (worship as deity) (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him (Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His (Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.] see Michah 5:1[2];)

Yahweh Elohai (my Elohim) Kedoshi (my Holy One)? We shall not die. Yahweh, Thou hast appointed them (these Chaldean) for mishpat (ordinance); O Tzur (Rock), Thou hast ordained them (these Chaldean) for reproof.

Maran Rabbeinu Yeshuah and Rabbeinu Shaul are teaching that you, Yehudah and Ephraim all Israel, come together to the same point as where you were when you said:

Deu 5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that Yahweh Eloheinu (our Elohim) shall say; and speak thou unto us all that Yahweh Eloheinu shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

But don’t ‘make’ from one of them Rabbeinu Yeshuah, Rabbeinu Shaul or Rabbeinu Mosheh another ‘mighty one’ but accept them in your live for what they really are….

Please take it serious what Abba Yahweh is telling us in:

Deu 18:15 Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohim) will raise up unto thee a Navi (prophet) from among thee, of thy achim (bretheren), kamoni (like me.....

Exo 32:30 The next day Moshe said to the people, "You have committed a terrible sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh; maybe I will be able to atone for your sin."); unto him ye must listen;

Deu 18:16 According to all that thou desired of Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohimin) Chorev (to be burnt dried up, ruined, wasted) in the Yom HaKahal (day of the congregation), saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh Elohav (your Elohim), neither let me see this eish hagedolah (‘great fire’) any more, that I die not.

Deu 18:17 And Yahweh said unto me, They have well-spoken that which they have spoken.

Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a Navi (prophet) from among their achim (brethren), like unto thee, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

Joh 10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have samchut (authority) to lay it down, and I have samchut to receive it again. This mitzvah I received from HaAv (the Father).

Deu 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen unto My words which he shall speak Bishmi (in My Name), I will require it of him.

Joh 8:28 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When you perform the hagbah (lifting up) of the Ben HaAdam, you will have da'as (knowledge) that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], and from myself I do nothing, but as HaAv (the Father) of me taught me, these things I speak.

Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiah Yeshuah – is Yeshuah Yahweh. Like it is said in:

Gen_49:18 I have waited for Thy Yeshuah (Salvation), Yahweh.

Exo_15:2 Yahweh is my oz and zimrah (song of praise), and He is become to me Yeshuah (salvation); He is Eli (my Elohim), and I will praise Him; Elohei Avi (the Elohim of my Father), and I will exalt Him.

And not a half-god, or another mighty-one who came between HaShem and us! (Not, ‘It Suph’!) I believe many of us (Jews and Ephraimites!) have to learn that!
