(Bless YHVH the blessed
One; Blessed is YHVH, the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH,
our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have selected us from among all the
peoples,and have given us Your Torah. Blessed are YHVH our Elohim – Giver of
the Torah – Amein.’)
There is an enlarged ‘’tav’’ in ‘’tamim” in Deu 18:13
’Tamim tiyehe’’ “Be perfect before יהוה
your Elohim, - what
is complete or entirely in accord with truth and fact (neuter adjective/substantive)
We are ‘’becoming’’ the righteousness of YHVH through
Yahshua - 2Co 5:21 For
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become
the righteousness of Elohim.
Like ‘’fortune tellers’’ the teachings and prophecies of
many theologians and spiritual leaders have ‘’cast a spell’’ on believers,
teaching them to ‘’spiritually project’’ themselves to a place of spiritual
superiority and power. Many assume and claim spiritual wisdom and authority
that if closely investigated proves to be a sham and a deception.
Deu 18:14 for these nations whom you are possessing
do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, יהוה
your Elohim has not appointed such for you.
Gal
3:1 O
senseless Galatians! Who has put you under a spell, not to obey the truth…. 2Co 11:3 But I am afraid, lest, as the serpent deceived Ḥawwah by his
trickery, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Messiah.
2Co 11:4 For, indeed, if he who is coming
proclaims another יהושע,a whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive a different
spirit which you have not received, or a different Good News which you have not
accepted, you put up with it well enough! Footnote: a Mat_24:5 and Mat_24:23-24,
Joh_5:43.
We have no excuse not to walk as our Master walked.
2Pe 1:3 as His Mighty-like power has given to
us all we need for life and reverence, through the knowledge of Him who called
us to esteem and uprightness.
2Pe 1:4 Through these there have been given to
us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these you might be
partakers of the Mighty-like nature, having escaped from the corruption in the
world, caused by lust.
A New Prophet like Moses – Moshe knew that the coming Messiah would
bring great blessing.
Deu 18:15 “יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a
Prophet b like me from your midst, from your brothers. Listen to Him, Footnote:
bSee footnote at Deu_18:18.
Deu 18:16 according to all you asked of יהוה your Elohim in Ḥorěḇ in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let
me not hear again the voice of יהוה my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire
any more, lest I die.’
Deu 18:17 “And יהוה said to me, ‘What
they have spoken is good.
Deu 18:18 I shall raise up for them a Prophetc like
you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth,
and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. Footnote: cSee also Act_3:22-26,
and Act_7:37.
Deu 18:19 And it shall be, the man who does not
listen to My Words which He speaks in My Name, I require it of him.
Deu 18:20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a
word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the
name of other mighty ones, even that prophet shall die.’
Deu 18:21 “And when you say in your heart, ‘How do
we know the word which יהוה has not spoken?’ –
Deu 18:22 when the prophet speaks in the Name of יהוה and the word is not, or comes not, that is the word which יהוה has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do
not be afraid of him.
Isa 29:10 For יהוה has poured out on you the spirit of deep
sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets. And He has covered your heads,
the seers. (concealed or hidden the truth)
Laws Concerning Cities of Refuge – Messiah has become the
city of refuge to all those who deserve death because of their disobedience to
YHVH, but have been given a second chance.
Rom
3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Rom
3:24 being declared right, without paying, by His favour through the
redemption which is in Messiah יהושע,
Rom
3:25 whom Elohim set forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood,
to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His tolerance Elohim had passed
over the sins that had taken place before,
Rom
3:26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He is
righteous and declares righteous the one who has belief in יהושע.
Rom
6:23 For the wages of sin is death,c but the favourable gift of Elohim is
everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
Deu 19:1 “When יהוה your Elohim cuts off
the nations whose land יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and you
dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses,
Deu 19:2 separate three cities for yourself in the
midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess.
Deu 19:3 “Prepare a way for yourself, and divide
into three parts the border of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving
you to inherit, that any man-slayer shall flee there.
Deu 19:4 “And this matter of the man-slayer who
flees there and lives: he who strikes his neighbour unknowingly, not having
hated him in time past,
Deu 19:5 even he who goes to the forest with his
neighbour to cut timber, and his hand swings a stroke with the axe to cut down
the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbour so that
he dies – let him flee to one of these cities and live,
Deu 19:6 lest the revenger of blood, while his
displeasure is hot, pursue the man-slayer and overtake him, because the way is
long, and shall strike his being, though he was not worthy of death, since he
had not hated him before.
Deu 19:7 “Therefore I am commanding you, saying,
‘Separate three cities for yourself.’
Deu 19:8 “And if יהוה your Elohim enlarges
your border, as He swore to your fathers, and has given you the land which He
promised to give to your fathers –
Deu 19:9 when you guard all this command to do it,
which I am commanding you today, to love יהוה your Elohim and to
walk in His ways all the days – then you shall add three more cities for
yourself besides these three,
Deu 19:10 so that innocent blood is not shed in the
midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an
inheritance, or blood-guilt shall be upon you.
Deu 19:11 “But when anyone hates his neighbour, and
shall lie in wait for him and rise against him and strike his being so that he
dies, then he shall flee to one of these cities,
Deu 19:12 and the elders of his city shall send and
bring him from there, and give him into the hand of the revenger of blood, and
he shall die.
Deu 19:13 “Your eye shall not pardon him, but you
shall purge the blood of innocent blood from Yisra’ěl, so that it might be well
with you.
Property Boundaries
Deu 19:14 “Do not remove your neighbour’s boundary,
which those in the past have set, in your inheritance which you inherit in the
land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you to
possess.
Laws Concerning
Witnesses
Deu 19:15 “One witness does not rise up against a
man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses
or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established.
Deu 19:16 “When a malicious witness rises up
against any man to accuse him of turning aside,
Deu 19:17 then both men who have the dispute shall
stand before יהוה, before the priests and the judges who
serve in those days.
Deu 19:18 “And the judges shall diligently search
and see if the witness is a false witness, who has falsely accused his
brother,
Deu 19:19 then you shall do to him as he thought to
have done to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst.
Deu 19:20 “And let the rest hear and fear, and
never again do this evil matter in your midst.
Deu 19:21 “And let your eye not pardon, life for
life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Laws Concerning Warfare
Deu 20:1 “When you go out to battle against your
enemies, and shall see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you,
do not be afraid of them, for יהוה your Elohim, who brought you up from the
land of Mitsrayim, is with you.
Deu 20:2 “And it shall be, when you draw near to
the battle, that the priest shall come and speak to the people,
Deu 20:3 and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Yisra’ěl:
You are drawing near today to battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart
faint, do not fear, or tremble, or be afraid before them,
Deu 20:4 for יהוה your Elohim is He who
goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
Deu 20:5 “And the officers shall speak to the
people, saying, ‘Who is the man who has built a new house and has not dedicated
it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another
man dedicate it.
Deu 20:6 And who is the man who has planted a
vineyard and has not begun to use it? Let him also go and return to his house,
lest he die in the battle and another man should begin to use it.
Deu 20:7 And who is the man who is engaged to a
woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in
the battle and another man take her.’
Deu 20:8 “And the officers shall speak further to
the people, and say, ‘Who is the man who is afraid and tender of heart? Let him
go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brothers faint like his
heart.’
Deu 20:9 “And it shall be, when the officers have
finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint commanders of the
divisions to lead the people.
The real battle is
not against flesh and blood. but against the spiritual forces of darkness
resisting the people of the Torah. Therefore, we must not be double minded but
certain of victory and that YHVH Himself
goes out before us to ensure our complete victory over the enemy.
