“BE YE HOLY AS I AM HOLY,” says YAH!

YAH = GOD in Hebrew; BE is A DOING WORD (VERB)!

 

SHALOM!

1218

What we, as human beings eat, drink, wear; how we behave, what we say, how we treat others, which day we honour as “The LORD’S DAY” plus how we honour it, etc MATTERS A LOT TO YAH! If it were not so, YAH would NOT take HIS time to write detailed statements about the above aspects of life in the HOLY SCRIPTURES!

Note that the TORAH is not just for The Jews / Orthodox Jews. Constantine did not give us freedom by ENFORCING CHRISTIANITY (A DIVERSION FROM MESSIANIC JUDAISM). Rather Constantine, the Roman Emperor created and enforced BONDAGE, Satan’s Bondage upon YAH’S people as seen in Daniel 7 & 9.

YAH (GOD) has give you the GIFT OF LIFE on earth. This means that YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN!

YAH created us to WORSHIP HIM! This means that OUR WAY OF LIFE EITHER GIVES GLORY TO OR does not give GLORY unto YAH! Our way of life extends to every area of our lives. Every area of our lives matters to YAH so very much and that is why HE took HIS time to write LOVING GUIDELINES in the FORM OF INSTRUCTIONS (TORAH) to see us through this life SUCCESSFULLY! The TORAH is HIS GUIDE MANUAL to us for our journey through this WILDERNESS called EARTH. It (together with RUACH HA KODESH) is also a WEDDING RING / BAND to us who truly belong to YAHUSHUA as either HIS BRIDE or GUEST. It is a SEAL UPON US especially if we are obedient to it.

The following song relates to the heading above:

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER UPON

cover_256

  • WHAT IS YAH’S DEFINITION OF “HOLINESS” ?
  • What exactly does it mean “TO BE HOLY AS YAH IS HOLY”?
  • Also, what is UNHOLINESS?
  • Is HOLINESS the same thing as RIGHTEOUSNESS?
  • Is there any purpose of being holy as YAH is holy?
  • What the benefits of living holy before YAH?
  • What are the disadvantages of not living holy before YAH?

 

 

 

 

 

We should all be interested in YAH’S Definition of HOLINESS because it is  A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH! It is YAH’S definition of whether we enter HEAVEN for eternity or NOT!

What-is-Holiness-1.jpg

Peter repeats what YAH wrote in the TORAH as follows:

1 Peter 1:13-16 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Live Holy Lives

13 Therefore, your minds must be clear and ready for action. Place your confidence completely in what God’s kindness will bring you when Yeshua Christ appears again. 14 Because you are children who obey God, don’t live the kind of lives you once lived. Once you lived to satisfy your desires because you didn’t know any better. 15 But because the God who called you is holy you must be holy in every aspect of your life. 16 Scripture says, “BE HOLY BECAUSE I AM HOLY.”

images (1)

BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY = implies that YAH first sets us apart when we accept YAH’S SALVATION which is YAHUSHUA and HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE however, from then on we have A DUTY TO WORK OUT OUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING (Philippians 2:12) so as to continue BEING HOLY before YAH!

As soon as we accept YAH’S SALVATION, YAHUSHUA’S RIGHTEOUSNESS is added to us SPIRITUALLY. We are to develop and encourage that RIGHTEOUSNESS to increase in our lives by BEING HOLY AS YAH IS HOLY!

When we stand before YAH’S Throne on JUDGEMENT DAY, YAHUSHUA’S RIGHTEOUSNESS will speak for us. Additionally, our EARTHLY WORKS will be put through YAH’S FIRE for testing to see if they can withstand the FIRE! They are meant to WITHSTAND THE FIRE! Remember, our LIVES ARE NOT OUR OWN! We will give feed back one day to our PORTER (Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18; Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Timothy 4:13).

 

How do we WORK OUT OUR SALVATION?

By BEING LOVINGLY OBEDIENT TO YAH’S WORD and in YAH’S WAY! It is through (Read Matthew 22:36-40):

  • LOVING YAH
  • LOVING FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS / YOUR NEIGHBOURS

in YAH’S WAY (not our way)!!

 

Hebrews 12:14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

14 Try to live peacefully with everyone, and try to live HOLY LIVES, because if you don’t, you will not see the Lord (YAHUVEH / YAHWEH).

 

So,

What is HOLINESS?

There is a difference!

What is RIGHTEOUSNESS?

 

  • HOLINESS = KODESH / KADOSH  meaning TO BE SET APART / CONSECRATED (for YAH)

 

  • RIGHTEOUSNESS = TSADIQ / TZADDIQ meaning JUST (before YAH) / RIGHT STANDING GOD

Holiness and Righteousness are two different things. Holiness is something we achieve over time with the HELP OF RUACH HA KODESH through our DAILY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. 

RIGHTEOUSNESS can NOT be ACHIEVED through any works. It can ONLY BE ACHIEVED through ACCEPTING YAH’S SALVATION which is YAHUSHUA and HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE!

 

 The following HOLY SCRIPTURE DEFINE YAH’S RIGHTEOUSNESS:

Philippians 3:9-11 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

and be found in union with him, not having any righteousness of my own based on legalism, but having that righteousness which comes through the Messiah’s faithfulness, the righteousness from God based on trust. 10 Yes, I gave it all up in order to know him, that is, to know the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings as I am being conformed to his death, 11 so that somehow I might arrive at being resurrected from the dead.

 

Isaiah 64:6 King James Version (KJV)

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

 

Romans 4:18-22 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

18 For he was past hope, yet in hope he trusted that he would indeed become a father to many nations, in keeping with what he had been told, “So many will your seed be.”[a] 19 His trust did not waver when he considered his own body — which was as good as dead, since he was about a hundred years old — or when he considered that Sarah’s womb was dead too. 20 He did not by lack of trust decide against God’s promises. On the contrary, by trust he was given power as he gave glory to God, 21 for he was fully convinced that what God had promised he could also accomplish. 22 This is why it was credited to his account as righteousness.

 

Hebrews 12:11 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

11 Now, all discipline, while it is happening, does indeed seem painful, not enjoyable; but for those who have been trained by it, it later produces its peaceful fruit, which is righteousness.

 

Matthew 6:1-4 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Righteous Living

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before others to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you do tzedakah, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full! But when you do tzedakah, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your tzedakah may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.

 

HOLINESS EXTENDS TO EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES!!!

This evidenced in the TORAH where YAH gives STRICT INSTRUCTIONS under various areas / aspects on how to lives our lives on a daily basis, especially in terms of FOOD AND CLOTHING but also other areas.

 

YAH ASSOCIATES HOLINESS WITH EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES!!!

 

call-to-holiness-20-638

Revelation 3:8-11 Names of God Bible (NOG)

I know what you have done. See, I have opened a door in front of you that no one can shut. You only have a little strength, but you have paid attention to my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are in Satan’s synagogue come and bow at your feet and realize that I have loved you. They claim that they are Jewish, but they are lying. 10 Because you have obeyed my command to endure, I will keep you safe during the time of testing which is coming to the whole world to test those living on earth. 11 I am coming soon! Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your crown.

 

HOLINESS can be summarised by TWO SCRIPTURES as defined by YAH:

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Listen, Israel: Yahweh is our ElohimYahweh is the only God. Love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words that I give you today. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up. Write them down, and tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

AND:

Leviticus 19:18 Names of God Bible (NOG)

18 Never get revenge. Never hold a grudge against any of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as you love yourself. I am Yahweh.

 

YAHUSHUA (JESUS CHRIST / YESHUA) repeats the above SCRIPTURES in Matthew 22:36-40 when HE defines the TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS! These SCRIPTURES are the CENTRE OF HOLINESS!

So we ask ourselves, HOW DO WE LOVE YAH and HOW DO WE LOVE OTHERS AROUND US?

We need YAH’S WISDOM to do it HIS WAY! When you study the life of Elijah and Elisha, you see that they always stayed away from UNHOLY people, people who did not encourage the HOLINESS OF YAH so they could not be corrupted by their ways of life.

 

In order to understand YAH’S HOLINESS, we need to ask ourselves WHAT IS (YAH’S definition of) UNHOLINESS?

Mark 7:21-23 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come forth

  • wicked thoughts,
  • sexual immorality,
  • theft, murder,
  • adultery,
  •  22 greed,
  • malice,
  • deceit,
  • indecency,
  • envy,
  • slander,
  • arrogance,
  • foolishness…. 

23 All these wicked things come from within, and they make a person unclean.”

 

Galatians 5:16-21 Names of God Bible (NOG)

16 Let me explain further. Live your life as your spiritual nature directs you. Then you will never follow through on what your corrupt nature wants. 17 What your corrupt nature wants is contrary to what your spiritual nature wants, and what your spiritual nature wants is contrary to what your corrupt nature wants. They are opposed to each other. As a result, you don’t always do what you intend to do. 18 If your spiritual nature is your guide, you are not subject to Moses’ laws.

19 Now, the effects of the corrupt nature are obvious:

  • illicit sex,
  • perversion,
  • promiscuity, 
  • 20 idolatry,
  • drug use,
  • hatred,
  • rivalry,
  • jealousy,
  • angry outbursts,
  • selfish ambition,
  • conflict, factions, 
  • 21 envy, drunkenness,
  • wild partying,
  • and similar things.

I’ve told you in the past and I’m telling you again that people who do these kinds of things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

The SECRET to unlocking understanding of YAH’S HOLINESS  in greater detail can be found in the:

  • First Five Books of the HOLY SCRIPTURES written by Moses
  • The stories of Prophet Elijah and Prophet Elisha (Book of 1st and 2nd Kings)
  • Book of Jeremiah
  • Book of Hosea
  • Book Of Revelation: THE LETTERS TO THE SEVEN MESSIANIC COMMUNITIES (also known now as CHURCHES)

The FRUIT OF THE RUACH HA KODESH also called SHKINYINYAH GLORY is the BEST EVIDENCE OF YAH’S HOLINESS.

It takes some time to PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT physically. It is the same thing SPIRITUALLY.

We need to WORK OUT OUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING DAILY (Philippians 2:12).

Galatians 5:22-23 Names of God Bible (NOG)

22 But the (FRUIT OF THE RUACH HA KODESH) spiritual nature produces

  • love,
  • joy,
  • peace,
  • patience,
  • kindness,
  • goodness,
  • faithfulness, 
  • 23 gentleness, and
  • self-control.

There are no laws against things like that.

We need to bear this FRUIT OF THE RUACH HA KODESH also known as SHKINYINYAH GLORY in order to have a chance of ETERNITY IN HEAVEN (and not hell)!!!

The FRUIT is seen in our CHARACTERS and PERSONALITIES.

 

We can’t bear GOOD FRUIT FOR YAH if we are LUKEWARM:

Revelation 3:14-21 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A Letter to the Church in Laodicea

14 “To the messenger of the church in Laodicea, write:

The amen, the witness who is faithful and true, the source of God’s creation, says: 15 I know what you have done, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. 1But since you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I’m going to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I’m rich. I’m wealthy. I don’t need anything.’ Yet, you do not realize that you are miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I advise you: Buy gold purified in fire from me so that you may be rich. Buy white clothes from me. Wear them so that you may keep your shameful, naked body from showing. Buy ointment to put on your eyes so that you may see. 19 I correct and discipline everyone I love. Take this seriously, and change the way you think and act. 20 Look, I’m standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in and we’ll eat together.

21 I will allow everyone who wins the victory to sit with me on my throne, as I have won the victory and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

 

 

“BE YE HOLY AS I AM HOLY” – WAY OF LIFE / CONDUCT / MORALS

How we treat fellow human beings generally including, the way in which we talk about them to others, forgiveness, helping the needy, etc.

Leviticus 19:18 Names of God Bible (NOG)

18 Never get revenge. Never hold a grudge against any of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as you love yourself. I am Yahweh.

 

Hebrews 12:14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

14 Try to live peacefully with everyone, and try to live HOLY LIVES, because if you don’t, you will not see the Lord (YAHUVEH / YAHWEH).

 

1 Peter 2:1-3 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Live as God’s Chosen People

So get rid of every kind of evil, every kind of deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander. Desire God’s pure word as newborn babies desire milk. Then you will grow in your salvation. Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good!

 

Galatians 5:13-15 Names of God Bible (NOG)

13 You were indeed called to be free, brothers and sisters. Don’t turn this freedom into an excuse for your corrupt nature to express itself. Rather, serve each other through love. 14 All of Moses’ Teachings are summarized in a single statement, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 15 But if you criticize and attack each other, be careful that you don’t destroy each other.

 

  • How we use what YAH blesses us with MATTERS a lot to YAH as it can be either accounted to us as HOLINESS / RIGHTEOUSNESS or NOT!

GIVING TO YAH TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Giving God One-Tenth of Everything

22 Every year be sure to save a tenth of the crops harvested from whatever you plant in your fields. 23 Eat the tenth of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and eat the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim in the place he will choose to put his name. Then you will learn to fear Yahweh your Elohim as long as you live.

24 But the place Yahweh your Elohim will choose to put his name may be too far away. Yahweh your Elohim may bless you with so much that you can’t carry a tenth of your income that far. 25 If so, exchange the tenth part of your income for silver. Take the silver with you, and go to the place Yahweh your Elohim will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you want: cattle, sheep, goats, wine, liquor—whatever you choose. Then you and your family will eat and enjoy yourselves there in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim27 Never forget to take care of the Levites who live in your cities. They have no land of their own as you have.

28 At the end of every third year bring a tenth of that year’s crop, and store it in your cities. 29 Foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your cities may come to eat all they want. The Levites may also come because they have no land of their own as you have. Then Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in whatever work you do.

 

How we use our BLESSINGS from YAH especially after making  COVENANTS with HIM before receiving the BLESSINGS:

Acts 5:1-11 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Ananias and Sapphira

A man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold some property. They agreed to hold back some of the money they had pledged and turned only part of it over to the apostles.

Peter asked, “Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You’ve held back some of the money you received for the land. While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn’t lie to people but to God!”

When Ananias heard Peter say this, he dropped dead. Everyone who heard about his death was terrified. Some young men got up, wrapped his body in a sheet, carried him outside, and buried him.

About three hours later Ananias’ wife arrived. She didn’t know what had happened. So Peter asked her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for that price?”

She answered, “Yes, that was the price.”

Then Peter said to her, “How could you and your husband agree to test the Lord’s Spirit? Those who buried your husband are standing at the door, and they will carry you outside for burial.”

10 Immediately, she dropped dead in front of Peter. When the young men came back, they found Sapphira dead. So they carried her outside and buried her next to her husband. 11 The whole church and everyone else who heard about what had happened were terrified.

 

Everyone at the time was giving WHOLEHEARTEDLY and sharing however Ananias and Saphira did not. As a result, they YAH’S WRATH came upon them through Apostle Peter.

 

Giving to NEEDY / PEOPLE people is important to YAH and that is why to everyone, a different MEASURE of YAH’S blessings is given so that we can learn to SHARE

Deuteronomy 15:11 Names of God Bible (NOG)

11 There will always be poor people in the land. That’s why I command you to be generous to other Israelites who are poor and needy.

Proverbs 19:17 New Living Translation (NLT)

17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord
    and he will repay you!

 

Jeremiah 22:16 Names of God Bible (NOG)

16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy.
    Everything went well for him.
    Isn’t this what it means to know me?” asks Yahweh.

 

Matthew 6:1-21 Names of God Bible (NOG)

The Sermon on a Mountain Continues: Don’t Do Good Works to Be Praised by People

“Be careful not to do your good works in public in order to attract attention. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you. So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it with trumpet fanfare. This is what hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets in order to be praised by people. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward. When you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your contributions privately. Your Father sees what you do in private. He will reward you.

 

Matthew 25:35-40 Names of God Bible (NOG)

35 I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. 36 I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

37 “Then the people who have God’s approval will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you into our homes or see you in need of clothes and give you something to wear? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 “The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.’

 

 

  • Forgiveness is CRUCIAL not just for and towards BELIEVERS but for every human being:

Matthew 6:14-15 Names of God Bible (NOG)

14 “If you forgive the failures of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you don’t forgive others, your Father will not forgive your failures.

 

Matthew 18:21-22 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Personally Forgiving Others

21 Then Peter came to Yeshua and asked him, “Lord, how often do I have to forgive a believer who wrongs me? Seven times?”

22 Yeshua answered him, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy times seven.

 

Luke 23:34 Names of God Bible (NOG)

34 Then Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.”[a]

Meanwhile, the soldiers divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice.

 

Revelation 2:4-7 Names of God Bible (NOG)

However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is goneRemember how far you have fallen. Return to me and change the way you think and act, and do what you did at first. I will come to you and take your lamp stand from its place if you don’t change. But you have this in your favor—you hate what the Nicolaitans are doing. I also hate what they’re doing.

“Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the paradise of God, to everyone who wins the victory.

 

Revelation 2:14-17 Names of God Bible (NOG)

14 But I have a few things against you: You have among you those who follow what Balaam taught Balak. Balak trapped the people of Israel by encouraging them to eat food sacrificed to idols and to sin sexually15 You also have some who follow what the Nicolaitans teach. 16 So return to me and change the way you think and act, or I will come to you quickly and wage war against them with the sword from my mouth.

17 Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give some of the hidden manna to everyone who wins the victory. I will also give each person a white stone with a new name written on it, a name that is known only to the person who receives it.

 

Revelation 2:20-25 Names of God Bible (NOG)

20 But I have something against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. She teaches and misleads my servants to sin sexually and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to turn to me and change the way she thinks and acts, but she refuses to turn away from her sexual sins. 22 Watch me! I’m going to throw her into a sickbed. Those who commit sexual sins with her will also suffer a lot, unless they turn away from what she is doing. 23 I will kill her children. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches hearts and minds. I will reward each of you for what you have done. 24 But the rest of you in Thyatira—all who don’t hold on to Jezebel’s teaching, who haven’t learned what are called the deep things of Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else. 25 Just hold on to what you have until I come.

 

“BE YE HOLY AS I AM HOLY” – CLOTHING / GARMENTS:

The way in which we as human beings DRESS both PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY MATTERS A LOT to YAH! If it were not the case, YAH would not take the TIME to write statements concerning CLOTHING in the HOLY SCRIPTURES!

In fact, the STATE OF OUR GARMENTS (either SPOTLESS or STAINED) and whether we are CLOTHED or NAKED Spiritually will determine our ability to make HEAVEN as seen in Matthew 22 and Revelation.

Being NAKED or WEARING TATTERED CLOTHES whether PHYSICALLY or SPIRITUALLY is a sign of SHAME and DISGRACE.

Carrying around your PHYSICAL WALLET / PURSE / HAND BAG with holes is not a good sign as it most likely is the same thing in the SPIRITUAL REALM. It usually means that PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL POVERTY is around the corner.

The Orthodox Jews always buy themselves new WHITE clothes to wear on ROSH HA SHANAH Festival. Ask yourself why this is the case. It is prophetically symbolic. In fact, this would be one of the best gifts to give to brethren in commemoration of YAH’S FEAST around that time.

Please read the following SCRIPTURES:

Revelation 22:14-16 New Life Version (NLV)

14 Those who wash their clothes clean are happy (who are washed by the blood of the Lamb). They will have the right to go into the city through the gates. They will have the right to eat the fruit of the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs. They are people who follow witchcraft and those who do sex sins and those who kill other people and those who worship false gods and those who like lies and tell them.

16 “I am Jesus. I have sent My angel to you with these words to the churches. I am the beginning of David and of his family. I am the bright Morning Star.”

 

Exodus 19:10-12 Names of God Bible (NOG)

10 So Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and tell them they have two days to get ready. They must set themselves apart as holy. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the day after tomorrow. On that day Yahweh will come down on Mount Sinai as all the people watch. 12 Mark off a boundary around the mountain for the people, and tell them not to go up the mountain or even touch it. Those who touch the mountain must be put to death.

Deuteronomy 22:5 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A woman must never wear anything men would wear, and a man must never wear women’s clothes. Whoever does this is disgusting to Yahweh your Elohim.

Leviticus 13:47-59 The Message (MSG)

Mildew in Clothing or Leather Articles

47-58 “If clothing—woolen or linen clothing, woven or knitted cloth of linen or wool, leather or leatherwork—is infected with a patch of serious fungus and if the spot in the clothing or the leather or the woven or the knitted material or anything made of leather is greenish or rusty, that is a sign of serious fungus. Show it to the priest. The priest will examine the spot and then confiscate the material for seven days. On the seventh day he will reexamine the spot. If it has spread in the garment—the woven or knitted or leather material—it is the spot of a persistent serious fungus and the material is unclean. He must burn the garment. Because of the persistent and contaminating fungus, the material must be burned. But if when the priest examines it the spot has not spread in the garment, the priest will command the owner to wash the material that has the spot, and he will confiscate it for another seven days. He’ll then make another examination after it has been washed; if the spot hasn’t changed in appearance, even though it hasn’t spread, it is still unclean. Burn it up, whether the fungus has affected the back or the front. If, when the priest makes his examination, the spot has faded after it has been washed, he is to tear the spot from the garment. But if it reappears, it is a fresh outbreak—throw whatever has the spot in the fire. If the garment is washed and the spot has gone away, then wash it a second time; it is clean.

59 “These are the instructions regarding a spot of serious fungus in clothing of wool or linen, woven or knitted material, or any article of leather, for pronouncing them clean or unclean.”

 

Revelation 3 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A Letter to the Church in Sardis

“To the messenger of the church in Sardis, write:

The one who has God’s seven spirits and the seven stars says: I know what you have done. You are known for being alive, but you are dead. Be alert, and strengthen the things that are left which are about to die. I have found that what you are doing has not been completed in the sight of my God. So remember what you received and heard. Obey, and change the way you think and act. If you’re not alert, I’ll come like a thief. You don’t know when I will come. But you have a few people in Sardis who have kept their clothes clean. They will walk with me in white clothes because they deserve it.

Everyone who wins the victory this way will wear white clothes. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life. I will acknowledge them in the presence of my Father and his angels. Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

 

Matthew 22:11-14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A Story about a Wedding Reception

11 “When the king came to see the guests, he saw a person who was not dressed in the wedding clothes provided for the guests. 12 He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without proper wedding clothes?’

“The man had nothing to say. 13 Then the king told his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet, and throw him outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.’

14 “Therefore, many are invited, but few of those are chosen to stay.”

 

 

“BE YE HOLY AS I AM HOLY” – FOOD:

 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Ruach ha-Kodeshwho is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.[a]

 

What we, as human beings eat MATTERS A LOT TO YAH! If it were not so, YAH would NOT take HIS time to write detailed statements about FOOD in the HOLY SCRIPTURES!

Note that the TORAH is not just for The Jews / Orthodox Jews. Constantine did not give us free by ENFORCING CHRISTIANITY (A DIVERSION FROM MESSIANIC JUDAISM). Rather Constantine, the Roman Emperor created and enforced BONDAGE, Satan’s Bondage upon YAH’S people as seen in Daniel 7 & 9.

Leviticus 11:44-45 Names of God Bible (NOG)

44 “Here is the reason: I am Yahweh your Elohim. You must live holy lives. Be holy because I am holy. Never become unclean by touching anything that swarms or crawls on the ground. 45 Here is the reason again: I am Yahweh. I brought you out of Egypt to be your Elohim. Be holy because I am holy.

 

KOSHER extends not only to FOOD but also CLOTHING and OTHER AREAS too.

Anything KOSHER FRIENDLY is YAH-friendly (GOD-FRIENDLY) as laid out in YAH’S WORD particularly in the Book of Leviticus.

YAH’S WORD is final!

A Rabbi does not have to pray over it before it can be blessed.

However, we advised to beware WHERE we purchase our FOODS and CLOTHES, etc so as not to eat food dedicated to other gods and thereby CURSED.

Be led by the RUACH HA KODESH as you go SHOPPING always.

DON’T just buy from anywhere and then hope that YAH will bless it.

You as a believer in and follower of YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH is a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD / PRIEST OF YAH as seen in 1 Peter 2:9. You can therefore approach YAH’S THRONE BOLDLY  through YAHUSHUA THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST and YAHUSHUA’S BLOOD. You can ask YAH to bless the FOOD you eat BEFORE COOKING IT, as you are cooking it and even at while at the DINNER TABLE before eating.

Also, always PRAY OVER YOUR newly purchased CLOTHES before wearing them. This includes CLOTHES given to you from CHARITY SHOPS and/or FRIENDS.

Always ask YAH to BLESS everything you BUY and RECEIVE as well as SEEK YAH’S ADVISE before using them.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Ruach ha-Kodeshwho is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.[a]

 

Anything PORK, that is to say, BACON, HOT DOGS, HAM, SAUSAGES, etc are NOT TO BE EATEN by any MAN OR WOMAN ever!!!

They and some other things created by YAH are an ABOMINATION unto YAH as seen in the TORAH (Books of Moses as well as the rest of the HOLY SCRIPTURES)!

Scientific research has been carried out over time and proved that truly MAN SHOULD NOT EAT ANY PORK / PORK PRODUCTS!

Romans 12:1-2 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Be Dead to Self

12 I urge you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice—holy, acceptable to God—which is your spiritual service. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
