Joseph F. Dumond

Isa 6:9-12 And He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed. Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land laid waste, a desolation, and until Jehovah has moved men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

Day 35-The Fifth Sabbath in Counting the Omer

April 15, 2023

Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,

I want to invite you all to follow me on Telegram. Just click this link. Since I was removed from Facebook, I have been looking for a way to get my message out.  Trying to fit it all into one email is going to be challenging to read. I can post notices on Telegram and you will be able to share them with your own people.


Speaking Tours

I am adding a new line to the sign up forms so that you can add your state or province which you live in.

I am doing this because some are asking for fellowship in certain states. If I have this information I can send an email out to all those just in that one state or province if they would like to meet. Up until now we only wanted to know what country you are in. I will leave the state as optional.

I am also offering to come to various countries and speak. This way I can let all those in that state or country know when I would be meeting and where in their area.

So if you want to know these things then please fill in your state or province on the sign up form for the News letter. https://sightedmoon.org/newsletter-signup55469575

It is my hope to be able to speak in London England, Netherland, France, Switzerland, the Philippines and South Africa. And it is my hope to do so this summer before the abomination is set up.

Here is what I need from those of you who want me to come. I need a hall with a minimum of 12 foot ceiling so I can put up our banner. It is 11 feet tall and 20 feet wide.  I need a minimum of 50 people. I need someone local to host me. That is, organize and set up the event and take care of all the details for the event and take care of me from the time I get off the plane until I get back on it again.

If you want me to present this to your group then time is fast running out. Organize it ASAP and make it happen.


 

Today is the 35th Day

This now means we are just two weeks away from Shavuot.

Today is the seventh day of the fifth week of seven weeks. Today is the thirty-fifth day of the counting of fifty days from the day of the waving of the Omer on the morrow after the Sabbath. Today is Sabbath, the fifth Sabbath of seven Sabbaths. Today completes the fifth week of seven weeks.

Psa 67:1  Elohim does favour us and bless us, Cause His face to shine upon us. Selah.
Psa 67:2  For Your way to be known on earth, Your deliverance among all nations.
Psa 67:3  Let the peoples praise You, O Elohim, Let all the peoples praise You.
Psa 67:4  Let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You judge the peoples uprightly, And lead the nations on earth. Selah.
Psa 67:5  Let the peoples praise You, O Elohim; Let all the peoples praise You.
Psa 67:6  The earth shall give her increase; Elohim, our own Elohim, blesses us!
Psa 67:7  Elohim blesses us! And all the ends of the earth fear Him!

Day Thirty-Five | Yehovah, the King Psalm 93:1-5

Psa 93:1  Yehovah shall reign, He shall put on excellency; Yehovah shall put on strength; He shall gird Himself. Indeed, the world is established, immovable.
Psa 93:2  Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
Psa 93:3  Rivers shall lift up, O Yehovah, Rivers shall lift up their voice; Rivers lift up their breakers.
Psa 93:4  Yehovah on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea.
Psa 93:5  Your witnesses have been very trustworthy. Set-apartness befits Your house, O Yehovah, forever.

The Shmita Year of 2023

We are just two weeks away from Shavuot and this coming week will begin the 3rd month. It is time to take stock of your food supplies. Is everything going according to plan.

I have now fasted for about 7 days and reduced my food intake to absolute bare minimum. I have also eaten one meal a day for two weeks. I am looking at my stocks and wondering.

Why am I doing this. I am trying to find a way no matter what problems are placed in front of me to obey Yehovah. So now I am pretending to be someone who does not have enough food. So I am fasting to see if that will help.

Brethren find a way to obey. Stop finding excuses why you cant do this or that.

The Shmita Year of 2023

Aviv 1 on February 21/22 2023 began the 7th Year of Rest. You can prove this by understanding that 2 King 19:29 spoke about a 49th and 50th-year land rest. Knowing this was 701 and 700 BC, you can then count by 7 or 49 and land on every Sabbatical year or every Jubilee in history. All of our proof’s line up with this understanding.

We want to encourage you to watch and share this video of our teaching at GLC about the Sabbatical Year.

In this Sabbatical year you are:

  1. Not to Plant
  2. Not to Harvest
  3. Stock up on Food in the 6th year
  4. Forgive Debts
  5. Read the Torah Out Loud on the 1st day of Sukkot.

These are the basic rules that you are to keep in order to be blessed by Yehovah. As of this writing March 11, 2023, it is not too late to begin to stock up now for the year.

There are 365 days in the year. Let’s just say there are 400 days, in case there is an Adar Bet next year. You can buy 400 Cans of Soup to have one meal of soup each day during the year. One can of soup costs about $2, so for $800 you have a year’s supply of soup. But if you are not going to eat soup every day then take out half and buy canned beans, vegetables and fruits.

You must de-leaven your homes so do not buy anything that has leaven in it until after the last day of Unleavened Bread which is March 14, 2023.

You can do this. Do not say you can’t do this. Find the will to find a way to get this done. Find excuses as to why you will obey. We are coming into the 5th curse over the next 7 years. That curse is famine and it will be so bad that people will eat their own children. So stock up on food now so you can obey Yehovah. And extra food will be a welcome blessing later.

I went out and in the past week I have spent just over $1000, and I have now stocked up about 3/4 of a year’s worth of meals. I will do the rest after  Passover and the days of Unleavened bread are over. I have entered everything into my excel program to count each meal. Brethren, this is not that hard to do. What it takes is the willpower to do it: that and a little planning. You can buy meat throughout the year. It is not a ban on meat. You can also eat anything that grows of itself during the year. But do not plan on living off of those things that come from the ground. It they fail then you have no food. Stock up now, and if something grows, they are a bonus, but they are also free game for the neighbours and the animals. So they might eat it before you do. Plan ahead and stock up now. You still have time to get it done.

I received this email this week and want to share it and answer it with you all.

Message: Hello Joseph

I was wondering – are we allowed to still buy “old stock” from the store up to 22 Feb 2023? Most products have Production dates and Sell by dates on them. I am staying away from fresh vegetables and fruit but if I can see on a canned item or on frozen vegetables that the Production date in well outside of the beginning of the Shmita year, I am allowed to buy it?

As you might know, we (South Africa) are sometimes without power for up to 8 hours, sometimes more, a day. I therefore did not invest in an extra freezer or fridge for we are expecting the collapse of the grid any day and all those frozen things will have to be thrown away. I have stocked up for the Shmita year, but still have this impression on my spirit that I have to keep doing it for as long as I can – especially canned goods.

Personally I do not see why I can’t, because it is old stock. Nowhere do I read in the Torah that you are not allowed to buy the old stock in the Shmita year (provided of course that you can find a Production date on the can/container that is well outside the beginning of our Shmita year. But, my understanding of it may be wrong, so I would really appreciate your input.

Shalom

Melanie

As I always do here is my standard answer as to what you are to do during the Sabbatical year.

  1. Not to Plant
  2. Not to Harvest
  3. Stock up on Food in the 6th year
  4. Forgive Debts
  5. Read the Torah Out Loud on the 1st day of Sukkot.

Each person is different. Each person has a different culture they live in. Some do not have electric power. Some are called and discover this information and the sabbatical year has already begun. Yehovah has called each of us from the walk we are in. Different races, different problems. But He HAS called you to begin NOW to obey. So, start to obey from that point on with all your might and all your ability. But Start!!!

Joe Dumond Rules

In answer to Melanie, these are now what I do. They are not written in Torah. This would come under Joe Dumond rules, which must be changed when found to be out of alignment with Yehovah’s Laws. Each of you will develop you own rules for you and your family. I might not agree with them but so long as we are all keeping the 5 rules of the Shmita year then do not judge others who are trying to obey. Let Yehovah judge them. Let Yehovah bless them according to what they do right and what they do wrong. But do not let us go around attacking each other, and especially those who are trying.

I have stocked up  my food for the upcoming year. Here in Ontario Canada, I am going to use Shavuot as another one of my bench marks. I will explain in a moment.

Here in Ontario, I will continue to buy and eat apples that were grown in Ontario up until about Shavuot 2023. This means any apples marked as product of Ontario would have been grown and harvested in 2022. New Apples will not be available from Ontario until some time in the summer of 2023. So my cut off date will be Shavuot 2023. Potatoes grown here in Canada either from Ontario or Prince Edward Island, the main place potatoes are grown in Canada will not come on the market until about August. Again, I can use last years stocks up until my cut off date of Shavuot 2023.

Here in Ontario, our lettuce and most fresh fruit and vegetables comes from around the world and take about 7 days to go from being picked to the store. So for me, as of Passover 2023, I will not be eating any fresh greens from the stores. I will eat only what I have already bought before that date which is now passed. Most canned fruits and vegetables are from last years harvest. So canned goods I will continue to stock up on. I believe I will finish this the week after the Days of Unleavened Bread. I know there is no yeast in them, but I have had many problems to resolve with my wife about storing food here in the apartment, which is forcing me to be very precise in all I do.

Now if I am going to use Shavuot as my cut off date for those things grown here in Ontario, then next year when the Sabbatical Year ends at Aviv in 2024, then I also will continue to not eat those things grown in Ontario, until they come into season here locally. For example, I will wait until August before eating Apples again. I will wait until August before I eat new potatoes.

After Aviv 1 in 2024, when fresh strawberries begin to arrive on the store shelves in Ontario I will wait until around the 1st of the second month before I eat them. I am doing this because the shelve life is about a week or two. So if I wait until the 1st of the 2nd month, then those fresh products will have been harvested in 2024 after Aviv, when we can then again harvest. In the past I have waited and to set the date at Shavuot.

Here is an example from the Bible you need to understand and once you do then can decide what to do for yourself. It is upon this understanding that I set the date for myself of Shavuot.

Lev 25:20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase!

Lev 25:21 Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

Lev 25:22 And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old fruit.

The Barley was sown around Sukkot in the fall. It is harvested after Passover. In a Sabbatical year you could not harvest the barley in the Sabbatical Year. You would not be able to plant in the Sabbatical year in the fall. This then meant you would not have a barley crop the year after the Sabbatical year at Passover. This is now the 8th year. In the fall around Sukkkot in the 8th year, you could plant but would not be able to harvest until Passover in the 9th year.

What ever the crop or food you are desiring to plant or harvest, in what ever part of the world you you live in, you must plant and harvest according to the Sabbatical Year rules from Aviv to Aviv.

So each person must figure out when Strawberries are planted and harvested according to this understanding. When Potatoes are planted according to this understanding. Our society does not obey Yehovah. So each of us must read the labels and decide if this is kosher or not. To this day, I do not drink any wine harvested in the year 2016 or 2009 both Sabbatical years I have kept.

We all must obey. Do the best you can and pray Yehovah helps you to understand and to be able to obey.

If you want to use aquaponics or soilless planting then you must decide if this is kosher or not. I am not going to come up with an entire Targum or set of Tamudic do’s and don’ts. Read the rules or read Lev 25 and then you decide. You are called to be a King and Priest in the Kingdom of Yehovah. As a King and Preist you must uphold the Law of Yehovah and enforce it. As a King or Priest in the Kingdom, is what you are going to do, upholding those laws? Is what you are going to do pleasing to Yehovah? You must decide. I am not your judge.

Php 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Php 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings,

Php 2:15 so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world,

Php 2:16 holding forth the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice with you in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain nor labored in vain.

Some are asking how to do you travel? When you go to someones home what do you do? YOU can assume that those people are obeying Yehovah and you eat. Or you can pull out your own food from your purse and eat it in front of them. Again I am not your judge. You must decide what to do.

Joshua crossed the Jordan in the 50th year.  He did not plant anything the year before or this year. And yet he ate everything they captured from the cities of the Caananites. They did not obey Yehovah. Joshua ate their food.

There is not commandment telling you you cannot eat. I have given you Joe Dumond rules above. They are not Yehovah’s rules. You must decide what you are going to do.

Two Months Too Late

Last month we declared the Barley to be Aviv. We sent Randy Cates there to assist Becca and to be another witness to the Barley being Aviv.

All the nay-sayers came out in droves condemning us once again. We kept Passover March 8, 2022. Then Devorah began to waffle in how she was reporting. To the point where Michael Rood and Arthur Bailey have broken from her reports to keep Passover this past week on March 22nd. Even Nehemia and Keith were to my knowledge low keyed about Passover this year. Devorah is saying the barley is not Aviv and is going to keep Passover next month on May 4th or 5th.

And here now is a follow-up report created before the 2nd Passover on March 22. The barley we showed you last month is gone. It is shattered and reseeded itself. There is nothing left there to make a wave offering on March 26 if we had to.

Any doubts I may have had are now 100% put at ease. We are indeed in sync with Yehovah’s timing.

I have added Devorah’s reports to our “You Be the Judge” article so you can read them all in one place.

Thank you Becca once again for following up on the field to show the world it was indeed Aviv last month and now there is nothing left.

One of the takanots that have been put forward is that you cannot harvest the barley if it is still raining. After we kept Passover on March 8, there was more rain. That would seem to justify those who kept Passover on March 22, which was the majority. But now we even have the JP reporting of heavy snow in the north and flooding in the south on April 12, 2023. This does not change the fact the barley we reported has reseeded itself. Those keeping Passover in May will be two months too late.

Roads blocked in South as floods, heavy rains surprise Israel

Mount Hermon closed to visitors due to heavy snowfall • Highway 90 closed off, Health Ministry issues warning against bathing in Tel Aviv beaches

Here is anotehr Jerusalem Post fro APril 13, 20223 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-739144

Why is it hailing in Israel in April?

“Everyone is talking about democracy, but we must react to the climate change crisis,” said Professor Hadas Saaroni.

He said that Israel and the rest of the region – Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq – have all been experiencing increased bouts of heavy rain and major floods, which “might be connected to a trend that is predicted to appear in a warming world.

THE SABBATH 101

The Sabbath 101

I have been asked a number of times for the basics of keeping Torah. I have told those asking where to look but still more come and they are overwhelmed by the amount of articles, videos and books to go through. I never set out for it to be like that. But we have been posting a weekly newsletter since 2005. That is about 938 newsletters which have been viewed 9,701,688 times. We have written 8 books selling 5,439 copies as of this week. We have created about 552 videos, which have had 2,778,234 views as of today.

Just looking at these numbers tells me we are doing something right. And at the same time we continue to dive deeper into the things we are teaching. But for the new people it can be over whelming.

I had the great opportunity to visit Batman, Bat-woman and Alfred, and I even stayed in the Bat-cave. Batman has compiled a number of teachings that are geared for the new person and those just starting out in this walk. He also put together three of the books we now offer at Sightedmoon. I want to make all of these available for you to take advantage of, but you can’t tell Batman.

Here is the video section.

You can order one of two books. Scripture Lessons for the Kingdom & More Scripture Lessons for the Kingdom

Scripture Lessons for the Kingdom is exactly that, short lessons for those new to Torah. We have taken many of the lessons from the website and condensed them down into one to two-page lessons. While these do not cover everything, they will cover the basics and give you a good starting place for your journey into the Word of YHVH. We hope you enjoy this book and look forward to hearing back from you and your stories about this journey.

AND

We also have a third book about the covenant titled I Do. It is an e-book only format.

The servants of the groom are announcing the wedding, but will the bride prepare herself properly to say “I do”?  I do is a short book that both teaches and challenges one who has accepted the betrothal to the Lamb to do that which will prepare them for that great day when the groom arrives.

TORAH PORTIONS

Torah Portions

We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7 year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.

Septennial Torah Portion

If you go to Torah Portion at our archived section, you can then go to the 7th year which is the 7th year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every News Letter. There you can scroll down to the proper date, and see that this Shabbat we could very well be midrashing about:

Numbers 20

Hosea 8-14

Romans 14-15

If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.

SABBATH MEETINGS

Sabbath Meetings

There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.

What are we doing and why do we teach this way?

We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.

The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.

Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are Wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and I and you are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.

Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.

Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.

We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.

We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as Fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.

Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.

We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.

Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers songs and teaching from this hour.

Shabbat Services will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.

On the Holy Day, The Last day of Unleavened Bread, we will be having two meetings. One at 10 AM Eastern and the afternoon will be 2 PM Eastern. Look forward to seeing you all there.

We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

Joseph Dumond is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Counting the Omer

Counting the Omer

Someone is surely going to ask you or say it publicly, where are we commanded to count the omer?

When you are asked this then you will take them to Lev 23:15

“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord.

Lev 23:15 וספרתם H5608  לכם ממחרת H4283  השׁבת H7676  מיום H3117  הביאכם H935  את H853  עמר H6016  התנופה H8573  שׁבע H7651  שׁבתות H7676  תמימת H8549  תהיינה׃ H1961

Lev 23:15 And ye shall count H5608  unto you from the morrow H4480 H4283  after the sabbath, H7676  from the day H4480 H3117  that ye brought H935(H853) the sheaf H6016  of the wave offering; H8573  seven H7651  sabbaths H7676  shall be H1961  complete: H8549

Counting is the word Saphar or H5608 omer is the word for sheaf or H6016.

This mitzvah (“commandment”) derives from the Torah commandment to count forty-nine days beginning from the day on which the Omer, a sacrifice containing an omer-measure of barley, was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, up until the day before an offering of wheat was brought to the Temple on Shavuot. The Counting of the Omer begins on the morrow after the weekly Shabbat during Passover, and ends the day before the holiday of Shavuot, the ‘fiftieth day.’

Here you are told that there are different methods of counting the 50 days. The first was to count 7 full weeks and the second was to count out the full 50 days.

Again in Deut 16:9 you are told to again COUNT. It is a commandment to count the days and or weeks. And you start from the time when the sickle is first put to the Barley grain which was done after sunset after the weekly Saturday Sabbath. This counting began with Wave Sheaf Day.

“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.

According to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days. A medieval Karaite Jewish practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. These two methods are used to satisfy the commandment to count seven weeks (Deuteronomy 16:9) as well as the commandment to count fifty days (Leviticus 23:16).

During each one of these days of Counting the Omer to Pentecost, Jewish tradition has developed around reading the Psalms on certain days. I find this to be very beneficial. It is customary that following the “Counting of the Omer,” one recites Psalm 67, for according to tradition, that Psalm has forty-nine words, which corresponds perfectly to the forty-nine days of the “Counting of the Omer.”

And as you meditate on and do these readings, which includes the Counting of the Omer command, keep in mind what this symbolizes. It is the counting of the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years and where we are in that cycle. We are in the twenty-eighth year in 2023, which corresponds to the twenty-eighth day of the “Counting of the Omer.”

Wave Sheaf day is so exciting to understand and so amazing to believe because it forebodes the time when we will be changed and raised up. If you want to call this the Rapture then I can except that if you are obeying Yehovah. If you’re not obeying Yehovah and you think the laws are done away with, then you will not be in this resurrection or raptured. You will be told to be gone you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you.

Order the book The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033 at this link.

We will speak more about this as Pentecost draws closer. The Feast of Oaths, the 8th day and the Jubilee year. Think about how they are all connected to each other.

When you count from the Wave offering of the barley to Pentecost it is called the counting of the Omer. You are to count each day up to the 50th day. This Sunday, March 12, 2023, is day one. We are to count the Omer.

As I said, this is the most special time of year for me and in years past I couldn’t put my finger on exactly why, other than it had something to do with Yehshua’s resurrection and waiting in anticipation for Shavuot. While I cannot put into words how my understanding of this has grown, all I can say is that “it clicked!” and “now I get it!”, at least more than before. Understanding follows obedience. So OBEY and learn. You learn by doing as we are told in James.

James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Psa 78:6  That it might be known to a generation to come, To children who would be born, To rise up and relate them to their children,
Psa 78:7  And place their trust in Elohim, And not forget the works of ?l, But watch over His commands,
Psa 78:8  And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation which did not prepare its heart, Whose spirit was not steadfast to ?
Psa 78:9  The children of Ephrayim, armed bowmen, Turned back in the day of battle.
Psa 78:10  They did not guard the covenant of Elohim, And they refused to walk in His Torah,
Psa 78:11  And they forgot His deeds And His wonders which He had shown them.
Psa 78:12  He did wonders in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Mitsrayim, in the field of Tso?an.
Psa 78:13  He split the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand up like a heap,
Psa 78:14  And led them with the cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.
Psa 78:15  He split the rocks in the wilderness, And made them drink, as from the great depths,
Psa 78:16  And brought forth streams from the rock, And caused waters to come down as rivers.

Day Thirty-One | Yehovah & His People (Part II) Psalm 78:17-31

Psa 78:17  Yet they sinned still more against Him To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
Psa 78:18  And they tried ?l in their heart By asking food according to their desire.
Psa 78:19  And they spoke against Elohim. They said, “Is ?l able to set a table in the wilderness?
Psa 78:20  “Look, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed. Is He able to give bread also? Would He provide meat for His people?”
Psa 78:21  Therefore Yehovah heard, and He was wroth; So a fire was kindled against Ya?aqo?, And displeasure also came up against Yisrael?
Psa 78:22  Because they did not believe in Elohim, Neither did they trust in His deliverance.
Psa 78:23  Yet He had commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of the heavens,
Psa 78:24  And He rained down manna on them to eat, And He gave them the grain of the heavens.
Psa 78:25  Men ate bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to satisfaction.
Psa 78:26  He made an east wind blow in the heavens; And by His power He brought in the south wind.
Psa 78:27  And He rained meat on them like the dust, And winged birds like the sand of the seas,
Psa 78:28  And let them fall in the midst of His camp, All around His Dwelling Place.
Psa 78:29  So they ate and were completely satisfied, For He brought them what they desired.
Psa 78:30  They had not turned away from their desire, Their food was still in their mouths,
Psa 78:31  When the wrath of Elohim came against them, And He killed among their fat ones, And He struck down the choice ones of Yisra’?l.

Day Thirty-Two | Yehovah & His People (Part III) Psalm 78:32-39

Psa 78:32  In spite of all this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wonders.
Psa 78:33  So He ended their days in a breath, And their years in trouble.
Psa 78:34  When He killed them, then they sought Him, And they returned and did earnestly seek ?l.
Psa 78:35  And they remembered that Elohim was their rock, And the Most High ?l their redeemer.
Psa 78:36  But they flattered Him with their mouth, And they lied to Him with their tongue,
Psa 78:37  For their heart was not steadfast with Him, And they were not true to His covenant.
Psa 78:38  But He, the Compassionate One, Pardoned crookedness, And did not destroy them. And many a time He turned His displeasure away, And did not stir up all His wrath.
Psa 78:39  For He remembered that they were but flesh, A passing breath that does not return.

Day Thirty-Three | Yehovah & His People (Part IV) | Psalm 78:40-55

Psa 78:40  How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert!
Psa 78:41  And again and again they tried ?l, And provoked the Set-apart One of Yisra’?l.
Psa 78:42  They did not remember His hand, The day when He redeemed them from the adversary,
Psa 78:43  How He worked His signs in Mitsrayim, And His wonders in the field of Tso?an.
Psa 78:44  He turned their rivers into blood, And they could not drink their streams.
Psa 78:45  He sent among them swarms of flies which devoured them, And frogs which destroyed them,
Psa 78:46  And gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labour to the locust.
Psa 78:47  He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore trees with frost,
Psa 78:48  And gave their beasts over to the hail, And their livestock to bolts of fire.
Psa 78:49  He sent on them the burning of His displeasure, Wrath, and rage, and distress, A deputation of messengers of evils.
Psa 78:50  He made a path for His displeasure; He did not spare their being from death, But gave their life over to the plague.
Psa 78:51  And He struck all the first-born in Mitsrayim, The first-fruits of strength in the tents of ?am,
Psa 78:52  Then made His own people go forth like sheep, And led them in the wilderness like a flock.
Psa 78:53  And He led them on safely, And they did not fear, But the sea covered their enemies.
Psa 78:54  And He brought them to the border of His set-apart place, This mountain which His right hand had gained,
Psa 78:55  And drove out nations before them, And allotted them a measured inheritance, And made the tribes of Yisra’?l dwell in their tents.

Day Thirty-Four | Yehovah & His People (Part V) Psalm 78:56-72

Psa 78:56  Yet they tried and rebelled Against the Most High Elohim, And did not guard His witnesses,
Psa 78:57  But they turned back And acted treacherously like their fathers; They twisted like a treacherous bow.
Psa 78:58  For they enraged Him with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
Psa 78:59  When Elohim heard this, He was wroth, And greatly despised Yisra’el,
Psa 78:60  And He left the Dwelling Place of Shiloh, The Tent which He had set up among men.
Psa 78:61  And He gave His strength into captivity, And His comeliness into the hand of the adversary.
Psa 78:62  And He gave His people over to the sword, And He was wroth with His inheritance.
Psa 78:63  His young men were consumed by fire, And His maidens were not praised.
Psa 78:64  His priests fell by the sword, And their widows could not weep.
Psa 78:65  Then Yehovah awoke as one asleep, As a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
Psa 78:66  And He struck His adversaries backward, He put them to an everlasting reproach.
Psa 78:67  Then He rejected the tent of Yoseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephrayim,
Psa 78:68  But chose the tribe of Yehudah, Mount Tsiyon, which He loved.
Psa 78:69  And He built His set-apart place like the heights, Like the earth He founded it forever.
Psa 78:70  And He chose Dawi? His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
Psa 78:71  He brought him in from tending the ewes, To shepherd Yacaqob His people, And Yisra’?l His inheritance.

Psa 94:15  For right-ruling returns man to righteousness, And all the upright in heart follow it.
Psa 94:16  Who would rise up for me against evil-doers? Who would stand up for me against workers of wickedness?
Psa 94:17  If Yehovah had not been my help, My being would soon have settled in silence.
Psa 94:18  When I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your loving-commitment, O Yehovah, supported me.
Psa 94:19  When anxiety was great within me, Your comforts delighted my being.
Psa 94:20  Would a throne of destruction, Which devises trouble by law, Be joined with You?
Psa 94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wrong.
Psa 94:22  But Yehovah is my defense, And my Elohim the rock of my refuge,

Ezer Kenegdo

Ezer Kenegdo

Well I am going to do something I have never done here before. Let me explain.

This week Eileen who helps me in many ways made another 7 minute video to share with you all. She called it Ezer Kenegdo. I did not know what it was about. So as I edited it or proofed it before publishing, I found it to be very good. I had not heard these things before.

We published the video. Here it is.

Now I thought it was interesting but I was not expecting the comment I got just hours after I posted it. This lady posted her comments and I accepted them and once I accepted them, they all disappeared. I have no idea where they went but they were not in the comments section.

I then left a comment hoping she would repost her comments. She DID!!

Let me now share them here. But first, When someone posts a URL I never share them. Many times they are infected with bugs malware or lead you to porn sites. So I automatically delete them. But this time as I read her comments I felt she might be telling me something. So I clicked on the URLs and began to watch the videos. I then shared them with Eileen who went to work on the next 7 minute video. Eileen was excited which caused me to pause and save them to watch.

Let me now share the comment Sonia wrote.

You see, if your woman is a TRUE child of YHWH then you, as her husband, have NOTHING to fear, but only benefits to gain because her entire being wants to bless her man!!! He should be REJOICING that he would have such a woman that would be sacrificed to YHWH and sacrificed and devoted to him for his benefit!!! Most importantly, a woman who is fully submitted to YHWH only wants what YHWH wants!!! She will be reading and studying scripture and praying to YHWH that she will ONLY do His will when it comes to her husband. She sacrifices herself to YHWH and subsequently sacrifices herself to her husband to build him up, to edify him, to help him become everything that is in alignment with the will of YHWH. Of course she is NOT perfect and can still make mistakes, however, they are LESS LIKELY if she is fully submitted and obedient to YHWH and determined to only do the will of YHWH as benefit for her husband and not to overstep her boundary. Also, if she has made a mistake, a husband who is fully submitted and obedient to YHWH, also reading and studying scripture would probably be able to spot an error because when you study the TRUTH so well that you know it intimately, it is far easier to spot an error.
 
This is probably the most important part. If both the wife and her husband are studying Scripture and praying, are FULLY OBEDIENT and SUBMITTED to YHWH and seeking to do HIS will, if both of them have COMPLETELY SACRIFICED themselves and have only the interests of the OTHER PERSON at heart and are mutually submitted to each other, then it is almost guaranteed that they will have as close to the ORIGINAL INTENDED relationship that YHWH wanted for Adam and Eve (and ultimately us all). Can you not see that it would be the most AMAZING relationship and would be literally be “heaven on earth”. However, it is a COMPLETE SACRIFICE OF SELF AND SELF INTERESTS in light of the other person!!! This is VERY difficult to do because EGO/SELF raises its ugly head ALL the time!!! It is hard enough when you are both trying to do the same thing, but it is even harder if the other person is NOT doing the same thing and you are the only one sacrificing!!!
 
The steps
1. Reading scripture, praying, fully obedient and submitted to YHWH – complete sacrifice of self
2. Mutual submission to the other person and seeking only the OTHER PERSONS best interests – complete sacrifice of self
Listening to Skip on “The role of the ‘ezer”……..
Greek view of marriage – it is about ME, what I can get out of it.
Hebrew view of marriage – it is about US
 
We have fractured marriages because we are running around being Greek. Whatever I feel, my individual choices, etc.
 
The perfect marriage: husband sacrifices everything that he is for her and she gives everything she is for him. That is how it was designed to be.
 
The redeemed marriage is very difficult to do (because it goes against the norm). You cannot do it on your own – BOTH people need to be in agreement that this is a redeemed marriage in spite of the culture around them.
 
Continuing to listen to Skip he asked and answered the question, “What is love?”
 
“Love is benevolence towards another at cost to myself. Love is not about how I feel. It is about making a choice to be benevolent toward someone else at a cost to myself over a long, long period of time. it is a commitment to fidelity no matter what the expense.”
 
Men, if you’re married, I hope that you have a wonderful, YHWH fearing wife. For men that are not married, do NOT chose your spouse on looks. These fade as spoken about in Proverbs 31. Choose your wife based on her commitment, love, faithfulness and obedience to YHWH. Will she be a good ‘ezer kenegdo?
 
Shalom Sonia
 
This was the second part of my comment.
 
I have one more additional comment. Men are afraid that their ‘ezer kenegdo wants to tell them what to do. That is FAR from the truth. An ‘ezer kenegdo who is truly of YHWH will be ACTING like YHWH. She may or may not have the right to lead but either way instead SACRIFICES herself to bless her husband!!! In the same vein how YHWH sent Yahusha who had the right to lead, but instead became the servant of many, the ‘ezer kenegdo is a servant to her husband. She does not want to rule over her husband, she wants him to make his own choices and wants them to be EQUAL PARTNERS in the relationship!!! Yoked together as ONE to do the will of YHWH!!!
 
So, question, does YHWH TELL us what to do all the time? NO!!! Actually, more often than not He tells us what NOT to do!!! You see, when we are doing things in alignment with His will, the things that are GOOD, He blesses us and we prosper.
 
However, when we are doing things that are against what He wants, then he chastises us, he punishes us and we do NOT get the blessing.
 
In the same vein, an ‘ezer kenegdo following YHWH wants her man to experience freedom of CHOICE!!! She does not want him to feel trapped, she wants him to enjoy that freedom!!! She wants him to CHOOSE to follow the will of YHWH and she also wants him to CHOOSE to baraq to her. The tighter he cleaves to her, the more harmonious their relationship….it also makes her feel loved which is what she needs and craves!!! If he is following the will of YHWH she is blessing him and supporting him to the very best of her ability. However, if he goes against what YHWH wants, she will go against him, the blessing and support ceases.
 
Of course he is not going to like her being against him and it will cause disharmony in the relationship, however, this is restored when he is walking in the will of YHWH because she again turns back to him and blesses him.
 
I will also point out that she must be constantly on her guard to be reading and studying Scripture and praying to YHWH because she must at all times be wanting to bless her husband for his well-being and to bring him closer to YHWH and not use anything at all for herself.
 
Just an aside, this teaching is absolutely spot on 100% SCRIPTURALLY correct. When I read GA and saw the videos I was blown away because it put into words things that I could not express myself but KNEW INSTINCTIVELY!!! You see Skip Moen is right, the role of the ‘ezer kenegdo is absolutely inbuilt into a woman. Even women who are NOT followers of YHWH still try to look after their husbands to the best of their ability,. Working in a hospital, I see many elderly patients and the following pattern occurs all the time. What i have noticed is that men who have wives are well cared for and tend to live longer and live WELL.
 
Men who do not have wives are not well cared for and are crumbling. This is also reflected in the fact that statistics prove that men who have wives live longer than men who are unmarried. Women were built by YHWH for the well-being of men and that is a fact!!!
 
Men are afraid that women will change them. However, what they fail to see if that BOTH men and women NEED to change and that is a fact!!! YHWH wants BOTH husband and wife to change for HIM!!! We will have NO CHOICE in this if we want to be faithful to Him. It is a BIG change and it will be a BIG struggle because the flesh wants what the flesh wants. However, YHWH wants my OBEDIENCE and for me to SACRIFICE myself to Him!!! He wants ALL my hopes, my dreams, my clothing, my possessions (which are really His anyway), my heart, my mind, my soul, my very life. He does not want me to hold back anything from Him. He wants me to sacrifice MYSELF completely both to HIM and to my spouse…..in the same vein, He wants my spouse to sacrifice themselves. In addition, in marriage it will be hard because both of parties have grown up with a GREEK mindset about marriage, but BOTH need to change that to the mindset of YHWH. The closer we get to the mind and will of YHWH, the more we obey what YHWH wants, the closer the two will be to each other and the more BLESSED and AMAZING their marriage will be. It will literally be a slice of heaven on earth. It will only be when our flesh raises up that we will have problems and because we are not perfect, this WILL happen, however, the closer we get to YHWH, the more we sacrifice to Him and to each other, the closer we will be to the garden of Eden.
 
In addition, I agree brother Joe. Other URL’s could lead to people falling away if it leads people from the truth of the Word. People are fallible and we need to be following YHWH and His word.
 
You can keep or delete this as you wish. I found this video by the same author (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOMlmzmkegc&t=85s) to be invaluable in my understanding in the difference between the Greek and Hebrew worldview. This really helped my understanding of the Scriptures when I was able to view them through a Hebraic lens rather than my “Greek” upbringing of Western culture. It was an “ah ha” moment, just like when I understood the role of the Ezer kenegdo.

I have not yet watched them all. I have never taken one person I do not know and allowed their comments to be the News letters main subject. So let me know if this was a risk I have taken with dividends or a blunder on my part, in the comments below.

I do know this. There are many men out there who have screwed up. Who are married, and yet feel totally alone, because they do not have their wives support in anything they do. Those same wives, will never forgive their husband when he does screw up. They use it as sledge hammer over his head for the rest of his life, justifying why she does not give him her full support or love. It is called husband abuse and neglect. And as the husband retreats further into his own world or away from his wife, she wonders why their marriage sucks. It is my hope that this series will help you all. Women…remember the parable about the unforgiving servant and stop being that person, that wife who will not forgive her husband.

Both persons in a marriage do things to the other side. Both person have got to learn to forgive AND FORGET. STOP BRINGING IT UP with each new argument.

This is a 5 part series. Here they are.

    I look at it as the marriage (covenant) I have with my wife is a the same covenant I made with Yehovah. Her and I are 1 flesh and as I should be walking like Yeshua as 1 flesh. Shalom

    I’ve been studying With Skip Moen for 10 plus years. His book Guardian Angel is outstanding. However my first introduction to this subject came in the mid 1990s through Frank Seekins and his book A Mighty Warrior.

      Guess what, mice have got into our new larder we have had made, and which is full of food. I have been ill for the last two months and am sleeping downstairs on the sofa. Kept hearing amazing noises in the cupboard at night. Had to put a trap down and found at least two fat overfed mice. Sorry guys, that’s our store.

    I don’t know Skip Moen. I don’t know if this is a self-help book on marriage.

    God’s Word is a two-part epoxy; follow His mixing instructions carefully and that proposal-to-marriage will grow, blossom, and stave off unpleasantries like those we read in Ezra 9 &10. Why is that not good enough?

    Is Skip calling a wife a “Guardian Angel” ? I get the feeling he is, and if so, that’s cute and that’s all it is…..cute.

    The Biblical call of duty, for man and wife, is to take their acting roles as the reinstated royal priests seriously (Ex 9:6; 1 Peter 2:9; Rev 1:6). When we submit to that, everything else in our lives falls into place (i.e. being the best wife/husband_mother/father).

    Good video! And thanks for posting Skip Moen’s videos. On the topic of forgiveness, in my experience, not many women bring up things that have been resolved. But we often fail to tell men how to resolve things. What kind of screw up are we talking about? If it’s forgetting to take out the trash, sure, both husbands and wives need to work on not bringing up the past as a weapon. But usually the I hear people talking about lack for forgiveness when a husband has lied, manipulated, cheated, committed adultery with porn use, been emotionally abusive, been intentionally and repeatedly selfish or controlling with finances, etc.

    In those cases, it needs to be treated like any other sin between two believers. Saying sorry and trying really hard doesn’t cut it. He needs to make amends (fix what he’s broken, accept any consequences), and repent (turn around, do teshuva, find accountability partners, get counseling and get to the root of why he did what he did in order to create lasting change). He needs to validate his wife’s feelings without turning the blame back around on her.

    I haven’t met many women who won’t forgive after that, but it still takes time to rebuild trust. It’s ok for her to say “I forgive you, but I still don’t trust you.” Also forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean reconciliation. Sometimes too much damage has been done, and some of these sins carry the death penalty in Torah, not “whoops, I’ll try not to do that again. Now don’t bring it up.” However, reconciliation is often possible AFTER there’s been true repentance. In fact many women are overly eager to help their husbands change even when they aren’t showing fruits of wanting to change. But for those wanting to change, most women are over the top thrilled to see this kind of work being done, amends being made and growth happening.
