a refresher on shabbat...


TORAH ON THE SABBATH:

(Exo 20:8)  Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (set apart);

(Exo 31:14)  And you shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy for you; the profaners of it shall sure be executed; for everyone doing work in it, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of his people.

(Exo 31:16)  And the children of Israel shall guard the Sabbath, to observe and do the Sabbath for their generations; it is a never ending covenant.

(Deu 5:12)  Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (Set apart), as YAHWEH your Elohim has commanded you.

(Deu 5:15)  And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YAHWEH your Elohim brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm. On account of this YAHWEH your Elohim has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

TANACH ON THE SABBATH:

Isa 56:1 So says YAHWEH: Keep justice and do righteousness, for my Y'shua* is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; keeping the Sabbath, from defiling it; and keeping his hand from doing every evil.

 Isa 58:13 If you turn your foot away because of the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, to the holiness of YAHWEH, glorified; and shall glorify Him, to the holiness of not doing your own ways, from finding your own pleasure or speaking your own words;
Isa 58:14 then you shall delight yourself in YAHWEH. And I will cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and make you eat with the inheritance of your father Jacob. For the mouth of YAHWEH has spoken.

(Jer 17:22)  And do not carry a burden from your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.

YHVH WILL JUDGE 8 GROUPS OF PEOPLE FOR OUR NEW BEGINNINGS IN MESSIAH YESHUA:

THE WORLD;

תּבל tay-bale'

From H2986; the earth (as moist and therefore inhabited); by extension the globe; by implication its inhabitants; specifically a particular land, as Babylonia or Palestine: - habitable part, world.

THE PEOPLES;

לאום    לאם leh-ome', leh-ome'
From an unused root meaning to gather; a community: - nation, people.

THE POOR;

עני aw-nee'
From H6031; depressed, in mind or circumstances (practically the same as H6035 subjectively and H6041 objectively): - afflicted, humble`, lowly`, needy, poor.

THE NEEDY;

אביון eb-yone'
From H14, in the sense of want (especially in feeling); destitute: - beggar, needy, poor (man).

THE OPPRESSOR;

עשׁק aw-shak'
A primitive root (compare H6229); to press upon, that is, oppress, defraud, violate, overflow: - get deceitfully, deceive, defraud, drink up, (use) oppress ([-ion], -or), do violence (wrong).

THE EARTH;

ארץ eh'-rets

THE NATIONS;

גּי    גּוי go'ee, go'-ee

The second form is by intermixture with H6041; from H6031; depressed (figuratively), in mind (gentle) or circumstances (needy, especially saintly): - humble, lowly, meek, poor`. Compare H6041.

OR IN OTHER WORDS, PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE, BUT WHAT CATEGORY DO EACH OF US FIT INTO??? THAT IS THE QUESTION...

ONE BLOOD!

every time we read scripture, it should be enough...
 

take the following portion for example - rav sha'ul tells it like it is...
Elohim (G-d) is the Master of Heaven and Earth, has made everything in both and doesn't dwell in any temple that's been hand-made...or man-made...hmmm...camp there for a minute...
 

he goes on to say that Elohim has no need for anything either, and the very breath we all have, is a gift from HIM...
 

what spoke to me is vs. 26, because, we, as humanity, must always remember, we come from ONE blood - in order to inquire and search after Elohim, because He is not afar off of any of us! (which is simply another way of saying He is near to us at all times!) then He goes on to say we live and move and have our very existence in and through Him as His children!
 

in verses 30 and 31, rav sha'ul tells us it's the time for true repentance because Elohim has already "set the day" in which He will judge each of us through Messiah Yeshua and get ready, because He also says Elohim has ALREADY turned every man, which means "everyone" - mankind/humanity/all peoples of heaven and earth to have faith!
 

and the resurrection of Messiah Yeshua is the proof, and as always...there are opposite camps...
some ridicule...some want to hear more...some believe...some follow...
 

the question for each of us as we read this is -
what camp are you in???


Act 17:23 For as I was rambling about and looking up at the objects of your worship, I also found an altar on which had been written, TO THE HIDDEN ELOHIM. Not knowing, then, whom you worship, I make Him known to you.

Act 17:24 The Elohim who made the world and all things in it, this One being Master of Heaven and of Earth, does not dwell in handmade temples.

Act 17:25 Nor is served by hands of men, as having need of anything. For He is giving life and breath and all things to all.

Act 17:26 And He made every nation of men of one blood, to live on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling,

Act 17:27 that they might inquire and search after Elohim, and, by means of his creation, might find him; because he is not afar off from each one of us:

Act 17:28 For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of the poets among you have said, For we are also His offspring.

Act 17:29 Then man being of the offspring and family of YAHWEH, we ought not to suppose that the Sovereign Deity is like gold or silver or stone, engraved by art and the imagination of man.

Act 17:30 Truly, then, Elohim overlooking the times of this ignorance, but now strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,

Act 17:31 because He set a day in which "He is going to judge all the earth with righteousness," by the Man whom He has chosen; and He turned every man to have faith in Him, in that He raised Him from the dead. (Psa. 9:8)

Act 17:32 And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed ridiculed, but said, We will hear you again concerning this.

Act 17:33 And so Paul went out from their midst.

Act 17:34 But some men believed, joining themselves to him, among whom also were both Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
