the prayers of the righteous

PRAYERS FOR RIVKAH...

Gen 24:12 And he said, YAHWEH, Elohim of my master Abraham, I pray, cause her to meet before me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

Gen 24:13 Behold! I am standing by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

Gen 24:14 And let the girl to whom I shall speak this: Please let down your pitcher that I may drink; and she will say, Drink and also I will water your camels; let it be her You have approved for Your servant, for Isaac. And by this I shall know that You have shown kindness to my master.

Gen 24:15 And it happened before he had finished speaking. Behold! Rebekah came out, she who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

Gen 24:16 And the girl was very good of form, a virgin, a man not having known her. And she went down to the well and filled her pitcher and came up.

Gen 24:17 And the slave ran to meet her and said, Please let me sip a little water from your pitcher.

Gen 24:18 And she said, Drink, my master. And she hurried and let down her pitcher on her hand and gave him a drink.

Gen 24:19 And she finished giving drink to him. And she said, I also will draw for your camels until they have finished drinking...

Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.

Gen 24:59 And they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's slave and his men.

Gen 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Our sister, may you become myriads of thousands, and may your seed possess the gate of the ones hating them...

Gen 25:21 And Isaac prayed to YAHWEH on behalf of his wife for she was barren. And YAHWEH was entreated for him, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

Gen 25:22 And the sons struggled together within her. And she said, If this is right, why am I this way? And she went to inquire of YAHWEH.

Gen 25:23 And YAHWEH said to her, Two nations are in your womb; even two peoples shall break from your body. And one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Gen 25:24 And her days were fulfilled to bear. And behold! Twins were in her womb...

CONCLUSION:

Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much...

when Eliezar prayed to YHVH, his prayer was answered straight away;

when Rivkah's idolatrous family prayed for her, she remained barren;

when Yitchak prayed for Rivkah, she got pregnant and with twins!

MORAL:

1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure...

This had been all of Rivkah's life until she met and married Yitchak!

The rest is His-story...

post script:

make sure when you ask for prayer, you ask a brother or sister in Messiah Yeshua, who know how to wield the Word of YHVH in the Ruach Hakodesh!

A PSALM, A SONG, OR BOTH...

THE FOLLOWING 6 PSALMS ARE NOT ONLY "PSALMS" - THEY ARE ALSO SET APART AS "SONGS..."

AND SOMETIMES, WE JUST NEED TO ASK OURSELVES WHAT THAT MEANS...AND IN DOING SO, WE FIND THE ANSWER IN THE SONG/PSALM ITSELF...

NOT TO MENTION, WE LOOK AT THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE HEBREW WORD FOR "PSALM AND SONG" AND SEE HOW THE WORDS INTERPLAY AND CONNECT...

Psa 30:1 [A Psalm; a Song of Dedication of the House of David.]

I will exalt You, O YAHWEH; for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me...

Psa 48:1 [A Song, A Psalm for the Sons of Korah.]

Great is YAHWEH, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our Elohim, His holy mountain...

Psa 65:1 [To the chief musician. A Psalm and Song of David.]

To You silence is praise, O Elohim, in Zion; and to You is a vow paid...

Psa 67:1 [To the chief musician, for stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.]

May Elohim be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us. Selah...

Psa 68:1 [To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.]

Elohim rises up and His enemies are scattered; and those who hate Him flee from His face...

Psa 92:1 [A Psalm, A Song for the Sabbath Day.]

It is good to give thanks to YAHWEH, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High...

Mat 25:31 But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy cherubs with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
Mat 25:32 And before Him shall be gathered all the nations; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Mat 25:33 And indeed He will set the sheep off His right, but the goats off the left hand.
Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Mat 25:35 For

#1 I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat;

#2 I thirsted, and you gave Me drink;

#3 I was a stranger, and you took Me in;

Mat 25:36

#4 naked, and you clothed Me;

#5 I was sick, and you visited Me;

#6 I was in prison, and you came to Me.

Mat 25:37 Then the righteous will answer, saying, Master, when did we see You hungry, and fed You; or thirsting, and gave You drink?

Mat 25:38 And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in; or naked, and clothed You?
Mat 25:39 And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You?
Mat 25:40 And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, In so far as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me...

(Israel benefitted from manna from Heaven; water from the Rock; our true Home is YHVH'S Kingdom; many saints in sick beds and in prison throughout the centuries, have seen the Light of Messiah Yeshua, and have been delivered and healed, and all that He asks is that we do this (unto HIM) for others every chance we get...)

Mat 7:12 Therefore, all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Torah and the Prophets...

Joh 15:13 Greater love than this has no one, that anyone should lay down his life for his friends...

1Jn 3:16 By this we have known the love of YAHWEH, because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brethren we ought to lay down our lives...

LEAVING ALL...

Mat 10:37 The one loving father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And the one loving son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me....

Mat 19:29 And everyone who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for the sake of My name, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life...

AND SO WE ADD:

8. WE SHALL RECEIVE A HUNDRED FOLD FOR THE SAKE OF YESHUA'S NAME

9. AND WE SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE!!!

TO CURSE OR NOT BE CURSED...

Gen 3:9 And YAHWEH Elohim called to the man and said to him, Where are you?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I was afraid, for I am naked, and I hid myself.
Gen 3:11 And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?
Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.

Gen 3:13 And YAHWEH Elohim said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

Gen 3:14 And YAHWEH Elohim said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

***DOES ANYONE NOTICE THE SERPENT DARE NOT SAY ANYTHING TO YHVH, THE LIAR; THE BLAMER; THE DECEIVER; THE MURDERER, THE IMPERSONATOR AND THE BEGUILER OF ALL TIME REMAINS SILENT???***

Gen 3:16 He (YHVH) said to the woman, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception; you shall bear sons in sorrow, and your desire shall be toward your husband; and he shall rule over you.

(NO MENTION OF A CURSE ON THE WOMAN WHO WILL BE KNOWN AS EVE - CHAVA IN HEBREW!)

Gen 3:17 And He (YHVH) said to the man, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it, the ground shall be cursed because of you; you shall eat of it in sorrow all the days of your life.

Gen 3:18 And it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plant of the field.
Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
(AGAIN, NO MENTION OF A CURSE ON ADAM, BUT THERE IS ON ONE THE GROUND NOW!)

Gen 3:20 And the man called the name of his wife, Eve; because she became the mother of all living.

Gen 3:21 And YAHWEH Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife, and clothed them.

Gen 3:22 And YAHWEH Elohim said, Behold! The man has become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and also take from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever,

(UP UNTIL THE FRUIT FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL HAD BEEN EATEN, THEY COULD HAVE EATEN FROM THE TREE OF LIFE AND BEEN IMMORTAL AND IN BLISS, CARING FOR GAN EDEN!)

Gen 3:23 YAHWEH Elohim sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken.

Gen 3:24 And He drove the man out. And He lodged the cherubs at the east of the Garden of Eden, and the flaming sword whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life...

ADAM HAD TO BE SENT OUT OF GAN EDEN - BUT I HAVE A FEELING, HE DIDN'T GO VERY EASILY, AS THE NEXT VERSE IMPLIES YHVH HAD TO DRIVE HIM OUT - THEN PLACED ANGELS ALL AROUND TO GUARD THE ENTRANCE SO HE COULDN'T COME BACK IN...

HENCE - THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE BEING RENT WHEN YESHUA DIED ON THE TORTURE STAKE - AND IF WE GO BACK EVEN FARTHER, THE ENTRANCE TO GAN EDEN IS NOW OPEN, TOO, BECAUSE MESSIAH TOLD THE THIEF ON THE CROSS, "TODAY, YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE - GAN EDEN!!!

WHAT THE ADVERSARY, THAT SERPENT OF OLD MEANS FOR EVIL, YHVH ALWAYS USES FOR GOOD - BUT THE POINT OF THIS MESSAGE IS -

THE ONLY ONE CURSED IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE SERPENT AND THE GROUND...AND HE HAD TO CRAWL ON IT, AND EAT FROM IT ALL THE DAYS OF HIS EXISTENCE!

AND WHEN MESSIAH SHED BLOOD AND WATER FROM HIS SIDE WHEN THE ROMAN SOLDIER STABBED HIM, HE REDEEMED WOMAN FROM PAIN IN CHILD BEARING - BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT BRINGS FORTH BLOOD AN WATER IN LIFE-GIVING BIRTH!!!

DOESN'T ANYONE SEE WE HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE AND THE END IS KNOWN FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE BEGINNINNG IS KNOWN FROM THE END???

MUSINGS...

Gen 3:1 And the serpent was cunning above every beast of the field which YAHWEH Elohim had made. And he said to the woman, Is it so that Elohim has said, You shall not eat from any tree of the garden? (HALF TRUTH, AND WHY WAS AN ANIMAL TALKING TO THE WOMAN WHO HAD DOMINION OVER HIM, AND WHY DIDN'T SHE EXERCISE SAID AUTHORITY?)
Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, of the fruit of the trees of the garden, We may eat,
Gen 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, Elohim has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. (CHAVA JUST ADDED TO THE WORDS OF YHVH...OR SHE MERELY TOLD A LIE...UGH!)
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, surely, you shall not die, (WHAT YHVH HAD FORBIDDEN, hasatan JUST PERMITTED)
Gen 3:5 for Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it, even your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil. (NOW HE JUST ADDED TO THE WORDS OF YHVH! OR HE TOLD A HUGE LIE WHICH IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE...)
Gen 3:6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise. (LUST OF THE EYES, LUST OF THE FLESH, PRIDE OF LIFE) And she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. (WHERE WAS ADAM, AND WHY WASN'T HE REMINDING HER THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THAT TREE, ALSO EXERCISING SAID DOMINION?)
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed leaves of the fig tree (FORESHADOWING OF THE NATION ISRAEL), and made girdles (FORSHADOWING OF EXCHANGE OF FREEDOM FOR BONDAGE) for themselves...

AND HENCE THE CREATION ORDER OF YHVH JUST TURNS BACK TO CHAOS...

BUT WAIT A MINUTE! THERE IS REDEMPTION AND THERE IS A TAKING BACK OF WHAT WAS STOLEN:

Mat 16:19  And I WILL GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF YHVH: and whatever you shall bind  (FORBID) on earth shall be bound (FORBIDDEN) in heaven: and whatever you shall loose (PERMIT) on earth shall be loosed (PERMITTED) in heaven...

THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF YHVH? RESTORING ORDER (TIKKUN OLAM) IN GAN EDEN - KNOWING NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN; THE ENDING IS KNOWN FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE BEGINNING IS KNOWN FROM THE ENDING...

WHAT YHVH FORBIDS - hasatan PERMITS - WE JUST NEED TO DISCERN THE DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE PAST 2000 YEARS OR SO...

a scriptural jolt!

Pro 12:4 A virtuous woman is A CROWN to her husband...

H5850

עטרה ‛ăṭârâh at-aw-raw' From H5849; a crown: - crown.

H5849

עטר ‛âṭar aw-tar' to encircle (for attack or protection); especially to crown (literally or figuratively): - compass, crown.

*SO THIS SAYS WOMAN IS THE CROWN TO HER HUSBAND, WHO ENCIRCLES FOR PROTECTION AND ENCIRCLES AGAINST ATTACK AND COMPASSES HIM ABOUT...

H7225

H7221

ראשׁה ri'shâh ree-shaw' a beginning: - beginning.

H7226

*AND THIS SAYS THE HUSBAND IS THE FIRST; THE FIRSTFRUIT; THE BEGINNING; THE SUM; AND THE PILLOW FOR HIS WIFE - EVEN AS MESSIAH IS FOR THE KEHILLOT...(THE CONGREGATION...)

VERY INTERESTING...SELAH...

sweet promise...

a very good promise from the Torah portion this week:

Deu 32:9 For YHVH's portion is his people; Ya'akov is the lot of his inheritance.
Deu 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, howling wilderness; he (encircled) and led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deu 32:11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings...

when we are found in the #1 desert land - #2 in the waste - #3 in the howling wilderness...what does YHVH do???
He encircles us; He leads us; He instructs us (TORAH); and He keeps us as the apple of His eye...


then like an eagle - He stirs us up in His nest; He flutters over us; He spreads abroad His wings around and about us; He takes us; and bears us on His Wings!

I don't know about you all, but this is a pretty amazing and power packed promise!!! selah!

I am to my Beloved as my Beloved is to me...

Son 5:2 I sleep, but my heart is awake. It is the sound of my Beloved (Dodi) that knocks, saying, Open to Me, My sister (Achoti),  My love (Ra'yati), My dove (Yonati),  My undefiled (Tamati)...

I AM TO MY BELOVED AS MY BELOVED IS TO ME...

FIRST, HE COMES TO US, THEN IS BETROTHED TO US, THEN PAYS FOR US, THEN REDEEMS US, THEN MARRIES US AND CALLS US HIS OWN (BRIDE/WIFE...)

healing will come!

sometimes you run a cross a scripture that just speaks to you...


verse 10 here is saying the person who sees with their eyes; who hears with their ears; who understands with their hearts; who turns and does teshuvah (repentance) - that is the person who will be healed by YHVH Rapha!

Isa 6:5 Then I said, Woe is me! For I am cut off; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live amongst a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, YAHWEH of Hosts.
Isa 6:6 Then one of ...the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, snatched with tongs from the altar.
Isa 6:7 And he touched it on my mouth, and said, See, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is covered.
Isa 6:8 And I heard the voice of YAHWEH, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then I said, Here I am. Send me!
Isa 6:9 And He said, Go and say to this people, Hearing you hear, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know.

Isa 6:11 Then I said, Until when, O YAHWEH?

had an interesting revelation from Abba Shabbat evening...

when we look at the tabernacle in the wilderness, it was set up like this -

the holy of holies surrounded by the inner court;
the inner court surrounded by the outer court;
the outer court surrounded by the Aaronic and Levitical priesthood;
the priesthood surrounded by the 12 tribes; ...
the 12 tribes surrounded by the converts and gentiles that followed them...

in the holy of holies, we find the ARK of the covenant covered by the cherubs and the mercy seat -
with the light of the Menorah, and the Torah scrolls, the rod of Aaron, the ashes of the red heifer and a jar of manna inside the ARK...

setting things back in their right order in these last days means centering our lives on what matters - His Word, His Presence, His Light, and His Son, Messiah Yeshua...

only then will we bring Messiah again - and only then will our lives be lived the way scripture commands!

earth - sea - heavens

to Avram, Yit'chak and Ya'kov...and us...

1. dust of the earth

2. sand of the sea

3. stars in the heavens

Gen 13:16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your seed also will be counted.

Gen 15:5 And He brought him outside and said, Look now at the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.

Gen 28:14 And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your Seed.

Gen 32:12 And You said, dealing I will deal well with you, and I will make your seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

between the dust of the earth - humility - to the stars in the heavens - being elevated - is the sand that scrapes and smoothes...hence the inheritance of the saints in Messiah Yeshua...

a new take on revelation...

Rev 1:10 I came to be in the Spirit on the day of YAHWEH, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 1:11 saying, What you see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven congregations of Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me.
Rev 1:13 And having turned, I saw seven golden menorahs, and in the midst of the seven menorahs One like the Son of Man, wearing a garment down to the feet, and having His breasts girded with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 And the hairs of His head were white as white wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 and His feet like burnished brass having been fired in a furnace; and His voice as a sound of many waters;
Rev 1:16 and having in His right hand seven stars; and a sharp, two-edged sword proceeding out of His mouth, and His face shining as the sun in all its power.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet, as dead. And He put His right hand on me, saying to me, Do not fear. I am the First and the Last, (1st and 2nd Covenant),
Rev 1:18 and the Living One; and I became dead; and, behold, I am living forever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of the grave, and of death.
Rev 1:19 Write what things you saw, and what things are, and what things are about to occur after these things.
Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw on My right, and the seven golden menorahs: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven congregations, and the seven menorahs you saw are the seven congregations.

MESSIAH YESHUA - (HIS HEAD)

to Ephesus ~ HIS BREASTS

Rev 2:1 To the messenger of the congregation of Ephesus, write: These things says He who holds all things, and the seven stars in His right hand, He walking in the midst of the seven golden menorahs:
Rev 2:2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil ones; and you tried those pretending to be apostles and are not, and found them to be liars.
Rev 2:3 And you have patience and have borne burdens on account of My name and have not wearied.
Rev 2:4 Nevertheless, I have something against you, because you left your first love.
Rev 2:5 Then remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. And if not, I am coming to you quickly, and will remove your menorah from its place, unless you repent.
Rev 2:6 But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev 2:7 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the Tree of Life which is in the midst of the Paradise of Elohim.

and to Smyrna ~ HIS EYES

Rev 2:8 And to the messenger of the congregation of Smyrna, write: These things says the First and the Last, Who became dead, and is alive:
Rev 2:9 I know your works, and the affliction, and the poverty; but you are rich. And I know the evil speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and they are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 2:10 Do not at all fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Rev 2:11 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. The one overcoming will not at all be hurt by the second death.

and to Pergamos ~ HIS FEET

Rev 2:12 And to the messenger of the congregation in Pergamos, write: These things says the One having the sharp, two-edged sword:
Rev 2:13 I know your works, and where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is. And you uphold My name, and did not deny My Faith, even in those days when that witness of mine appeared, my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against you, that you have there those holding the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumblingblock before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices, and to commit fornication.

Rev 2:15 So you also have those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Rev 2:16 Repent! But if not, I will come to you quickly, and I will make war with them by the sword of My mouth.
Rev 2:17 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To the one overcoming, I will give him to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name having been written, which no one knows except the one receiving it.

and to Thyatira ~ HIS VOICE

Rev 2:18 And to the messenger of the congregation in Thyatira, write: These things says the Son of Elohim, the One having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass:
Rev 2:19 I know your works, and the love, and your service, and the faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last being more than the first.
Rev 2:20 But I have a few things against you, that you allow the woman Jezebel to teach, she saying herself to be a prophetess, and to cause My servants to go astray, and to commit fornication, and to eat idol sacrifices.
Rev 2:21 And I gave time to her that she might repent of her fornication. And she did not repent.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a coffin, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their works.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the congregations will know that I am the One searching the inner parts and hearts. And I will give to each of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But I say to you and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, and who did not know the deep things of Satan, as they say: I am not casting another burden on you;
Rev 2:25 but what you have, hold until I shall come.
Rev 2:26 And the one overcoming, and the one keeping My works until the end, "I will give to him authority over the nations,"
Rev 2:27 and "He will shepherd them with an iron staff" like the vessels of the potter they shall be shattered, as I also have received from My Father. (Psa. 2:8, 9)
Rev 2:28 And I will give to him the Morning Star.
Rev 2:29 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

and to Sardis ~ HIS RIGHT HAND

Rev 3:1 And to the messenger of the congregation in Sardis, write: These things says the One having the seven spirits of Elohim, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have the name that you live, and are dead.
Rev 3:2 Be watching, and establish the things which remain, which are about to die. For I have not found your works being fulfilled before YAHWEH.
Rev 3:3 Then remember how you received and heard, and keep, and repent. If, then, you do not watch, I will come upon you like a thief and you will not at all know what hour I come upon you.
Rev 3:4 You also have a few names in Sardis which did not defile their robes, and they shall walk with Me in white because they are worthy.
Rev 3:5 The one overcoming, this one shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not at all blot his name out of the Book of Life; and I will acknowledge his name before My Father, and before His cherubs.
Rev 3:6 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

and to Philadelphia ~ HIS MOUTH

Rev 3:7 And to the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, "The One having the key of David, the One opening, and no one shuts; and shuts, and no one opens:" (Isa. 22:22)
Rev 3:8 I know your works. Behold, I have given a door being opened before you, and no one is able to shut it, for you have a little strength and have kept My Word, and have not denied My name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I give out of the synagogue of Satan those saying themselves to be Jews, and they are not, but they lie. Behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they shall know that I loved you.
Rev 3:10 Because you kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial which is going to come upon all the world in order to try those dwelling on the earth.
Rev 3:11 Behold, I am coming quickly. Hold what you have that no one take your crown.
Rev 3:12 The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My Elohim, and he shall not go out any more. And I will write the name of My Elohim on him, and the name of the city of My Elohim, the New Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven from My Elohim, and My new name.
Rev 3:13 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

and to Laodicea ~ HIS FACE
Rev 3:14 And to the messenger of the congregation of Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of YAHWEH:
Rev 3:15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold, or hot.
Rev 3:16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are miserable and a wanderer and poor and blind and naked.
Rev 3:18 I advise you to buy from Me gold having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
Rev 3:19 "I, as many as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent. (Prov. 3:12)
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door "and knock:" If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me. (Song 5:2)
Rev 3:21 The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father in His throne.
Rev 3:22 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations...
