Ben YHWH (son of Yahweh): You Don’t Know Me!
Ben YHWH (son of Yahweh): You Don’t Know Me!: A few years ago someone began using the slang phrase “you don’t know me” whenever they felt judged or criticized by others. It was a p...

Into a Far Country Pt.1
Shalom in Yahshua and welcome once again to the teachings of Rabbi Yahshua Messiah.
Our post today 'Into a Far Country' is based on Mat.21:33-46 (KJV)
Our method of presentation will be as follows:
1. Statement of the obvious meaning.
2. Showing the deeper meaning which may be new to some.
1.Statement of the obvious meaning:
Vs.33- The 'Householder' is YHVH-(Gen.2:8); (Num.24:2-6)
The 'Vineyard is' The Jewish people (Ps.80:14,15); (Deu.32:10)
The hedge is YHVH'S Torah, His Law (Isa.5:5; Eze.13:5) {for more on this please ask}
The winepress is the doctrine which drops down to others.(Joe.3:18;Isa.55:1)
The Tower is The sanctuary (Ex.25:8)
The husbandmen are the Levites/teachers.
Vs.34- And when the time of the fruit drew near.-This can be none other than the coming of the Messiah -Yahshua coming to His "own" the Jewish nation that He might find the ripe "fruit" (His righteousness in/among them).
he sent his servants to the husbandmen- As the time got closer to the coming of Yahshua He sent His servants (the prophets) to the Levites/leaders and teachers of the people;
that they might receive the fruits of it.-That is to say...that they might receive the godly produce of righteous obedience to the words which YHVH had sent them (the people) in the prophets instruction (by YHVH) to the people.
Vs.35"And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another."-That is to say they were persecuted for righteousness sake."
Vs.36-"Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise."
Vs.37-"But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son."(Love hopeth all things)
Vs.38-"But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance."
Thus Yahshua (The Son) was/is the heir, and they killed/kill Him as they planned/plan and seize on (His inheritance) the people, all who would come to Him. (Deu.32:9).
Until next time....Shalom and Ahava In Yahshua

The Desolate Heritages
Shalom and welcome once again to the teachings of the Word of YHVH.
In this post we are going to continue on a thought that was presented in our previous teaching; namely "the desolate heritages". Isa. 49:8
From our previous post we learned that it is Yahshua's desire that we receive new wine in new bottles. New truths or truths that are new to us are to be contained in new bottles or the new heart that Yahshua promised in Eze.36:26,27.
These new truths may not, at first be comfortable to our current understanding; but as lovers of truth we will search them out (like the Bereans to see if these things are so.
Now the text of Scripture under consideration states thus:
Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
This is a beautiful promise! Obviously some saints have been praying for help, and what is YHVH'S answer....I will give thee for a covenant of the people......to inherit the desolate heritages.
Obviously the question is what is it of YHVH that is desolate and it should be also an heritage? Is it possible that major truths of YHVH's word have been left desolate? and none but a very small number inherit them?
Is it possible that the vast majority of the christian world is missing out on some new wine....which is to be deposited in new bottles?
And is it possible that most say "No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better." ? Lk.5:39
Is it possible that the desolate heritages are the same as:
Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up; (Jer.18:15) (?)
If so, what are they? What beautiful truths are as yet undiscovered to most of the christian world? Has not YHVH promised to give us
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. (Isa. 61:1) and
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. (Isa.61:2)
Did not Messiah say that we are like a city set on a hill? Why then are the cities wasted and are in need of repair?
And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isa.58:12)
Shalom all and Ahava in Yahshua.
NEW CLOTH & NEW WINE
Shalom in Yahshua and welcome once again to the teachings of our Rabbi and Master Yahshua Ha Mashiach.
Today we are going to look at two verses of Scripture in found in Matt.9:16,17.
The context of these verses gives us the clear meaning of these two verses.
Here we find Yahshua being asked by the Pharisees why Yahshua eats with the publicans and sinners and next the disciples of John ask why His disciples do not fast but they, and the Pharisees do?
In verse 12 Yahshua clearly presents the case that they which are whole need not a physician but they who are sick. And in verse 15 He answers the question regarding fasting.
Now that we have the context lets look at vs. 16 & 17.
A new cloth is not put to an old garment....or else the rent is made worse.
Similarly, new wine is put into new bottles for if it is put into the old, the bottles break and the wine runs out.
Today, many turn, and even run to their supposed religious leaders (the pharisees of today) and ask about this doctrine and that teaching, and behold they receive the old garment, and the bottles with old traditions mingled with just enough truth to deceive. And they are deceived.
Others, being satisfied with their traditions and spiritual attainments look know farther then the latest sermon for spiritual understanding and insight; thus when the old garment and bottles of old (mingled doctrine) is presented they are satisfied and go away empty and sick. For they know not that they are sick or in need of new wine which will help them in the coming trouble.
They do not receive the new wine (doctrine) in the new bottle (renewed heart and mind) and thus the work which Elohim designs to be done in and through them is left undone. The Master comes and the slothful servant can't give Him His own with usury.
Some are sincerely ignorant of the falsehoods they have inherited but nonetheless YHVH will give them opportunity to discover them.
(Jer.16:21) & Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; (Isa.49:8)
We cannot receive the new unless we discover first off that the old is in need of further reformation. The reformation that was started in the 16th century was and is continuing on apace. Only those who avail themselves of the precious rays of light now shining from the Word of YHVH; and bring to light our present duties and privileges will be prepared for the day of trouble which is even now beginning to descend upon us.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old. Mat.13:52
