in the beginning, in the middle, in the end...

thoughts to ponder from beresheit...

1. avraham was the 1st patriarch - and he heeded Torah;

2. Torah was given to Avraham and to His seed first, which would later become known as Israel...

(Gen 26:5 because Avraham listened to My voice and heeded My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Torah...)

3. Israel is the first nation to accept the yoke of Torah; and YHVH tests them to see if they prefer physical bread over spiritual bread...

(Exo 16:4 And YAHWEH said to Moses, Behold, I AM will rain bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather the matter of a day in its day, so that I may test them, whether they will walk in My Torah or not...)

4. Israel readily accepts the yoke of YHVH'S Kingdom and His Torah;

(Exo 19:8 And all the people answered together and said, All which YAHWEH has spoken we will do. And Moses brought back the words of the people to YAHWEH...)

so...YHVH; Torah is first; given to the first Patriarch Avraham; given to the first nation, Israel, and they are dependent on each other - Torah needs Israel and Israel needs Torah, and the universe needs them both to exist!

5. it's also interesting to note that Torah was given on Shavu'ot, and the Ruach Hakodesh was also given on Shavu'ot several generations later in the month of Sivan, (which could have also been about the time Mashiach was born based on His conception in Elul, but that is still only my opinion...)
but it makes for interesting ponderance...

Elul is the 6th month, Shavu'ot is the sixth day, and on the 6th day of Creation, YHVH said...

(Gen 1:31 And Elohim saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me'od (very good). And the erev and the boker were Yom Shishi (Day Six, the Sixth Day)...


YHVH - Torah - Israel;  with the the Ruach and Yeshua - in the beginning, in the middle and in the end...what a panorama His Word truly is!

THINGS Y'HOVAH IS NOT!

Num 23:19 El is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Act 10:34 And opening his mouth, Peter said, Truly I see that YAHWEH is not a respecter of faces,
Act 10:35 but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him.

prosōpolēptēs pros-o-pol-ape'-tace

THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN ELUL...


אלוּל 'ĕlûl el-ool' Probably of foreign derivation; ELUL; THE JEWISH SIXTH MONTH: - Elul.  STRONG'S H435
(Nehemiah 6:15)  So THE WALL WAS RESTORED in the twenty fifth of ELUL, on the fifty second day.

FIRST NUANCE = THE WALL IS RESTORED...

(1Chronicles 27:1) And the sons of Israel, according to their number, the heads of the fathers, and commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their scribes SERVED THE KING IN EVERY MATTER of the divisions which came in and went out month by month for all the months of the year, the one division had twenty four thousand...
(1 Chronicles 27:9)  The sixth for THE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL) was Ira the son of Ikkesh of Tekoa; and in his division were twenty four thousand.

SECOND NUANCE = WE SERVE THE KING IN EVERY MATTER...

(Ezekiel 8:1)  And it was in the sixth year, in THE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL), on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house. And the elders of Judah were sitting before me. And HAND OF YAHWEH ADONAI FELL ON ME THERE.

THIRD NUANCE = WE SPEND TIME WITH THE ELDERS, AND THE HAND OF YHVH FALLS ON US...

(Haggai 1:1)  In the second year of Darius the king, in THE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL), in the first day of the month, THE WORD OF YAHWEH CAME BY Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah; and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
(Haggai 1:2) So speaks YAHWEH of Hosts...

FOURTH NUANCE = THE WORD OF YHVH COMES BY THE PROPHETS AND YHVH TZAVA'OT SPEAKS...

(Haggai 1:12) Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, OBEYED THE VOICE OF YAHWEH their Elohim, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as YAHWEH their Elohim had sent him. And THE PEOPLE FEARED BEFORE YAHWEH.
(Haggai 1:13) And Haggai, the messenger of YAHWEH, spoke the message of YAHWEH to the people, saying, I AM WITH YOU, SAYS YAHWEH.
(Haggai 1:14) And YAHWEH STIRRED UP THE SPIRITof Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and WORKED ON THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH OF HOSTS, THEIR ELOHIM.
(Haggai 1:15)  in the twenty-fourth day ofTHE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL), in the second year of Darius the king.

FIFTH NUANCE = WE OBEY THE VOICE OF YHVH; WE OBEY THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS; WE FEAR YHVH; YHVH IS WITH US; YHVH STIRS UP HIS RUACH WITHIN US; AND WE SERVE IN, YHVH, OUR ELOHIM'S, HOUSE...

(Luke 1:26)  And in THE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL), the cherub Gabriel WAS SENT FROM THE PRESENCE OF ELOHIM to Galilee to the city whose name is Nazareth,
(Luke 1:27) to a virgin who had been betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David and the virgin's name was Mariam.
(Luke 1:28) And entering, the cherub said to her, Peace to you WHO IS FULL OF GRACE! OUR ADONAI IS WITH YOU. YOU ARE BLESSED AMONG WOMEN!
(Luke 1:29) And seeing this, she was disturbed at his word, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
(Luke 1:30) And the cherub said to her, Do not fear, Mariam, for YOU HAVE FOUND GRACE FROM YAHWEH.
(Luke 1:31) For behold YOU WILL RECEIVE CONCEPTION AND BEAR a son and you will call His name Y'shua.
(Luke 1:32) This One will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And YAHWEH Elohim will give Him the throne of His father David.
(Luke 1:33) And He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of His kingdom there will be no end.
(Luke 1:34) But Mariam said to the cherub, How will this be since I do not know a man?
(Luke 1:35) And the cherub answered and said to her, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST WILL REST UPON YOU. Because of this, He WHO IS TO BE BORN OF YOU IS HOLY and will be called the Son of YAHWEH.

SIXTH NUANCE = ANGELS ARE SENT TO US FROM THE PRESENCE OF YHVH; THEY TELL US WE ARE FULL OF GRACE AND YHVH IS WITH US; THEY TELL US WE ARE BLESSED AND HAVE FOUND GRACE WITH YHVH; THEY TELL US WE WILL RECEIVE CONCEPTION AND BEAR - THAT THE RUACH HAKODESH WILL COME AND THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL REST UPON US; AND THAT WHICH WE BEAR WILL BE HOLY...

(Luke 1:36)  And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth! She also CONCEIVED A SON IN HER OLD AGE, and this is THE SIXTH MONTH (ELUL) to her who was called barren;
(Luke 1:37FOR NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH YAHWEH.
(Luke 1:38) Mariam said, Behold I am the handmaid of YAHWEH. LET IT BE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD! And the cherub departed from her presence...

SEVENTH NUANCE = WE CONCEIVE IN OUR OLD AGE; NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH YHVH; WE ARE HIS SERVANTS; AND ALL THINGS WILL BE ACCORDING TO YHVH'S WORD DURING ELUL (AND LIFE)!!!

WE ALSO SEE IN THE MONTH OF ELUL - THAT YESHUA WAS IN MIRIAM'S WOMB WHEN SHE WENT AND VISITED ELISHEVA...A NORMAL PREGNANCY IS 40 WEEKS OR 280 DAYS, AND ROUGHLY, THAT MAKES MESSIAH'S BIRTH RIGHT AROUND NISSAN AND PESACH!
JUDAISM TEACHES A TRUE TZADDIK DIES ON THE SAME DAY HE WAS BORN, AND SINCE YESHUA IS THE LAMB OF GLORY, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE THAT HE WAS BORN, CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED IN THE MONTH OF NISSAN AS THE LAMB WHO TAKES THE SIN OF THE WORLD AWAY!
Luk 1:41  When Elisheva heard Miryam's greeting, the baby in her womb stirred. Elisheva was filled with the Ruach HaKodesh
Luk 1:42  and spoke up in a loud voice, "How blessed are you among women! And how blessed is the child in your womb!
Luk 1:43  "But who am I, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luk 1:44  For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy!

Luk 1:45  Indeed you are blessed, because you have trusted that the promise Adonai has made to you will be fulfilled." 

SHALOM!

when you steadfastly continue in prayer as the early believers did, (Col. 4:2-4) watching with thanksgiving, praying together, Elohim will open the door of His Word to you and you will speak the mysteries of Messiah and make His account clear and will speak as you ought!


when you pray as the early believers did, (Jud. 1:20-21) you will build yourselves up in the most holy faith and will pray in the Ruach Hakodesh, and will eagerly await the mercy of our Master, Messiah Yeshua to everlasting life!
