Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Zechariah the prophet wrote his prophecies from 520 to 518 B.C.E.
And perhaps a lot longer.
In 520 he was a young (2:4) priest who had
returned to Jerusalem with the exiles from Babylon.
Ezra 5:1 places him as a contemporary with Haggai.
There he is called the son of Iddo,
who was actually his grandfather and was also a prophet (1:7).
His name means "Yahweh has remembered."

His name means "Yahweh has remembered."
This book consists of two parts.
The first part is chapters 1 through 8, a series of visions pertaining to Israel.
The second part is chapters 9 through 14, prophecy of the end times.
The first part is chapters 1 through 8, a series of visions pertaining to Israel.
The second part is chapters 9 through 14, prophecy of the end times.
Part One begins (1:1-6) with Yahweh imploring Israel to return to Him
rather than following the ways of their fathers.
rather than following the ways of their fathers.
Then comes a series of eight visions (1:7-6:15), one after another in one night.
1.) 1:7-17. The four horsemen of Zechariah.
Yahweh is ready to move Jerusalem forward.
Zechariah 1:16-17 'Therefore thus says Yahweh:
"I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My house shall be built in it," says Yahweh of hosts,
"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."'
17 Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
"My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;
Yahweh will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' "

"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."'
17 Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
"My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;
Yahweh will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' "
2.) 1:18-21. The four horns and the four smiths.
A brief prophecy against the nations Yahweh used to punish Judah.
He is displeased that they were too harsh (v 15).

He is displeased that they were too harsh (v 15).
3.) Ch 2. Measuring Jerusalem so Yahweh can be a wall around her.
Judah should leave her captivity:
Zechariah 2:7-8 "Up, Zion!
Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon."
8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts:
"He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you;
for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.

8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts:

for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
4.) Ch 3. Yahshua the high priest is lifted from filth and sin by Yahweh.
This Yahshua is a type of the Messiah in some ways.
This Yahshua is a type of the Messiah in some ways.
5.) Ch 4. The Temple candlestick and the olive-trees.
6.) 5:1-4. The flying scroll.
7.) 5:5-11 The woman (wickedness) in the basket.
8.) 6:1-8. The chariots of the four winds.
Chapters 7 and 8, given two years later, pose the question
whether the days of mourning for the destruction of the city
should be kept any longer.
Yahweh answers that the mourning was insincere anyway,
so what is the point?
Zechariah 7:13-14 "Therefore it happened, that
just as He proclaimed and they would not hear,
so they called out and I would not listen," says Yahweh of hosts.
14 "But I scattered them with a whirlwind
among all the nations which they had not known.
Thus the land became desolate after them,
so that no one passed through or returned;
for they made the pleasant land desolate."

14 "But I scattered them with a whirlwind
among all the nations which they had not known.
Thus the land became desolate after them,
so that no one passed through or returned;
for they made the pleasant land desolate."
However in Chapter 8 Yahweh is once again encouraging.
Zechariah 8:3 "Thus says Yahweh:
'I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth,
The Mountain of Yahweh of hosts,
The Holy Mountain.'
Zechariah 8:3 "Thus says Yahweh:
'I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth,
The Mountain of Yahweh of hosts,
The Holy Mountain.'
The second part of the book (ch. 9-14) does not have a date.
It may even have been given a long time after the first part.
It consists of two burdens.
The first burden, chapters 9 through 11, is for some of Israel's neighbors.
It may even have been given a long time after the first part.
It consists of two burdens.
The first burden, chapters 9 through 11, is for some of Israel's neighbors.
But verse 9:9 changes to the positive with this well-known messianic passage:
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
Chapters 9 and 10 are generally positive
but in chapter 11 the mood turns stern again.
Zechariah 11:7-10 So I fed the flock for slaughter,
in particular the poor of the flock.
I took for myself two staffs:
the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds; and I fed the flock.
8 I dismissed the three shepherds in one month.
My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then I said, "I will not feed you.
Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish.
Let those that are left eat each other's flesh."
10 And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two,
that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

10 And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two,
that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
This is a scary passage for a pastor:
Zechariah 11:16-17 "For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land
who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young,
nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand.
But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd, Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded."
Zechariah 11:16-17 "For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land
who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young,
nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand.
But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd, Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded."
The second burden, in chapters 12 through 14, concerning Israel,
shows the glory that awaits Israel in the latter day,
the final conflict and triumph of Yahweh's kingdom.
These chapters contain some of the most significant prophecies of the end times.

Zechariah 14:1-4 "Behold, THE DAY OF YAHWEH is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then Yahweh [Yahshua the Messiah - I come in my Father's name]
will go forth and fight against those nations,
as He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
and half of it toward the south."

Zechariah 14:8-9 And in that day it shall be
That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
9 And Yahweh shall be King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be; "Yahweh is one," And His name one.

Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass that
everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem
shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts,
and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Haggai the Prophet
Reading time 5 minutes SEE THE ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Haggai the prophet wrote all his prophecies in the year 520 BCE.
We know because he dated his prophecies to the second year of Darius.
He was given prophecies at four different times (1:1, 1:15,2:1 and 2:10)
His name is derived from the word for festival.
He may have been born on a Holy Day.
Most of this book is the quoted words of Yahweh.

His name is derived from the word for festival.
He may have been born on a Holy Day.
Most of this book is the quoted words of Yahweh.
Yahweh begins by telling the Jews that He is displeased
because they have not rebuilt the temple. (1:2-6)
He shows them that the curses they have experienced are
because they have not built it. (1:7-11)
because they have not rebuilt the temple. (1:2-6)
He shows them that the curses they have experienced are
because they have not built it. (1:7-11)
The people begin to obey Yahweh and
He sends them a short but very powerful message.
Haggai 1:13 Then Haggai, Yahweh's messenger,
spoke Yahweh's message to the people, saying,
"I AM WITH YOU, SAYS YAHWEH."
He sends them a short but very powerful message.
Haggai 1:13 Then Haggai, Yahweh's messenger,
spoke Yahweh's message to the people, saying,
"I AM WITH YOU, SAYS YAHWEH."
14 So Yahweh stirred up
the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and the spirit of Yahshua 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,
the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and the spirit of Yahshua 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,
A month later Yahweh sends another encouraging message:
Haggai 2:1-9 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month,
the word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet, saying:
2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and to Yahshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest,
and to the remnant of the people, saying:
3 'Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory?
And how do you see it now?
In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing?
4 'Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says Yahweh;
'and be strong, Yahshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
and be strong, all you people of the land,' says Yahweh,
'and work; for I AM WITH YOU,' says Yahweh of hosts.
5 'According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt,
so My Spirit remains among you;
do not fear!'
6 "For thus says Yahweh of hosts:
'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
7 'and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations,
and I will fill this temple with glory,' says Yahweh of hosts.
8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says Yahweh of hosts.
9 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,'
says Yahweh of hosts.
'And in this place I will give shalom,' says Yahweh of hosts."

Verse 6 is quoted two times in the NT
Haggai 2:6 "For thus says Yahweh of hosts:
'ONCE MORE (IT IS A LITTLE WHILE)
I WILL SHAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH, the sea and dry land;
'ONCE MORE (IT IS A LITTLE WHILE)
I WILL SHAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH, the sea and dry land;

but now he makes another promise:
"ONCE AGAIN I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH BUT THE HEAVENS ALSO."

Every one by the sword of his brother.

Reading time 8 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Daniel the prophet wrote from about 605 to 536 B.C.E.
His name means "My Judge is El."
He was among the first group taken captive to Babylon in about 605.
His period of prophesies continued into the reign of Cyrus, the Persian king. (10:1)
This would make a total of about 70 years of service.
Chapter 1 tells how Daniel was taken to Babylon and lived at the king's expense.
The Hebrew young men were more able than others.

Chapter 2 tells of the king's dream that he couldn't remember.
He demanded of his "wise men" that they tell him
what he dreamed and what it meant.
If not he would have them killed!
Daniel was the only one who was given the information by Yahweh.
The dream was of an image of a man with head of gold,
breast of silver, belly of bronze, legs of iron and feet of iron mixed with clay.

Daniel told of the meaning of four world-ruling kingdoms.
These were Babylon, Medes and Persians, Greece, and Rome.

Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy sevens [490 years?] are determined
for your people and for your holy city [Jerusalem],
to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
to make reconciliation for iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the Most Holy.
25 "Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem
[The command by Artaxerxes in about 445 B.C. E. (Nehemiah 2:1-8)]
until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven sevens and sixty-two sevens [=483 years];
The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.
[Ezra and Nehemiah rebuilt the wall and the temple.]
26 "And after the sixty-two sevens [434 years] Messiah shall be cut off [killed],
but not for Himself [rather to save others];
And the people of the prince who is to come [Romans]
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. [Fulfilled in 70 C.E.]
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one seven [7 years];
But in the middle of the seven [after 3 ÃÆ’Æ’‚ÃÆ’‚½ years]
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
[sin sacrifices continued but were no longer needed since the true sacrifice had been made]
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate."

In these verses we see prophecies of
- a decree to rebuild Jerusalem. See also Isa 8
- The implication that Jerusalem (and the Temple) would be rebuilt.
- A time period until the anointed one (messiah) comes.
- The Messiah would be "cut off" or "killed".
- Then Jerusalem and the Temple to be destroyed again.
- a decree to rebuild Jerusalem. See also Isa 8
- The implication that Jerusalem (and the Temple) would be rebuilt.
- A time period until the anointed one (messiah) comes.
- The Messiah would be "cut off" or "killed".
- Then Jerusalem and the Temple to be destroyed again.
These prophecies are so clear and exact
that scholars have tried hard to show
that the book of Daniel was written after the Babylonian captivity ended.
that scholars have tried hard to show
that the book of Daniel was written after the Babylonian captivity ended.
The "sevens" of the prophecy are sets of years called "sabbatical years",
an important measure of time in Yahweh's calendar.
Violation of the command to observe the sabbatical year
brought the judgment of the Babylonian captivity
and determined its length of seventy years.
See Leviticus 25:1 - 22; 26:33 - 35 and 2 Chronicles 36:19 - 21

The last seven of the seventy is devoted to the ministry of Yahshua the Messiah
in warning the people of earth to obey Yahweh their Elohim.
His ministry was "cut off in the middle" by his death on the tree.
The second half could be completed in the three and one-half years
just before His second coming.
See Revelation 11:3 about the ministry of the two witnesses.

Daniel The Prophet II
Sabbath Greetings 060311 Daniel the Prophet II
Reading time 22 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
This Sabbath we're looking at the last 3 chapters of Daniel
and at the ways new testament writers used his work.
and at the ways new testament writers used his work.
Daniel 10 sets the stage for chapters 11 and 12
Daniel is approached by an angel (probably Gabriel):
Daniel 10:5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold,
a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!
Daniel is approached by an angel (probably Gabriel):
Daniel 10:5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold,
a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!
This angel tells Daniel he is going to tell him about the future of the Israelites:
Daniel 10:14 "Now I have come to make you understand
what will happen to your people in the latter days,
for the vision refers to many days yet to come."
Daniel 10:14 "Now I have come to make you understand
what will happen to your people in the latter days,
for the vision refers to many days yet to come."
Daniel 10:21 "But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth.
(No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.)
(No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.)
Michael, is another archangel who helped Gabriel
to get free of another task and come to Daniel (verse 13)
to get free of another task and come to Daniel (verse 13)
Chapter 11 had its first fulfillment in the years between
Alexander the Great (about 400 B.C.E. and the Macabees (about 160 B.C.E.)
Chapter 11 is long and complex.
There is a nice explanation of this chapter at this web page:
http://www.4thewordofgod.com/Daniel_11.htm
I won't say I necessarily agree with each element of his interpretation
but the history presented is terrific.
Worth a look if you're at all interested.

Many prophecies have an early and a later fulfillment.
There may be a second fulfillment of Daniel 11 in the near future.
Some of these same things could happen at the time of the end of days.
I believe they will.

Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament,
and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!

his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color,
and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Revelation 19:12 HIS EYES WERE LIKE A FLAME OF FIRE,
and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

where she is nourished for A TIME AND TIMES AND HALF A TIME,
from the presence of the serpent.
that she might fly into the wilderness to her place,
where she is nourished for A TIME AND TIMES AND HALF A TIME,
from the presence of the serpent.
There is another interesting thread from Daniel in Revelation,
the period of "three and one half years."
If you use 30 days for a month and 12 months to a year
then you get 42 months or 1260 days
We see this in Daniel 7:25, 12:7, Revelation 11:2 & 3, 12:6, 12:14 and 13:5.
This is the same length of time as one-half of the final seven-year period of Daniel 9:27.
I have often wondered if the three ways of expressing this time
are meant to indicate some difference.
Then there are two other similar times mentioned at the close of Daniel:
Daniel 12:11-12 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away,
and the abomination of desolation is set up,
there shall be ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS.
12 "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the
ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE DAYS.
Daniel 12:11-12 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away,
and the abomination of desolation is set up,
there shall be ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS.
12 "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the
ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE DAYS.
Some day Yahweh will let us in on ALL His secrets
Let us all pray that day comes soon.
May Yahweh bless you and your family with the blessings of that day.
May Yahweh bless you and your family with the blessings of that day.

Exekiel the Prophet II
Sabbath Greetings 060225 Ezekiel the Prophet II
Reading time 16 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
This week we will conclude our brief visit with Ezekiel by
looking at the way his words are used in the NT.
looking at the way his words are used in the NT.
Ezekiel 1:1-28 seems to be a description of the same angels as in Revelation 4:5-8
Ezekiel 1:22 also seems to describe
the same surface of crystal as in Revelation 4:6 and 15:2
the same surface of crystal as in Revelation 4:6 and 15:2
In the following sets of scriptures the similar words are capitalized.
In many cases the prophet Ezekiel gives more detail
which is invoked by the NT writer citing the passage.
In many cases the prophet Ezekiel gives more detail
which is invoked by the NT writer citing the passage.
Ezekiel 2:8-9 "But you, son of man, hear what I say to you.
Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house;
open your mouth and eat what I give you."
9 Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me;
and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
Ezekiel 3:3 And He said to me, "Son of man,
feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you."
So I ate, and IT WAS IN MY MOUTH LIKE HONEY IN SWEETNESS.
Revelation 10:2 He had a little book open in his hand.
And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
Revelation 10:10 Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it,
and IT WAS AS SWEET AS HONEY IN MY MOUTH.
But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.
And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
Revelation 10:10 Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it,
and IT WAS AS SWEET AS HONEY IN MY MOUTH.
But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.
Ezekiel 8:2 Then I looked, and there was a likeness,
like the appearance of fire; from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire;
and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness,
like the color of amber.
Ezekiel 43:2 And behold, the glory of the Elohim of Israel
came from the way of the east.
HIS VOICE WAS LIKE THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS;
and the earth shone with His glory.
Revelation 1:14-15 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,
and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace,
and HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS;
and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace,
and HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS;
Ezekiel 9:2 And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate,
which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand.
One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his side.
They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
Ezekiel 9:4 and Yahweh said to him,
"Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,
and put a mark on the foreheads of the men
who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
Revelation 7:2-3 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living Elohim.
And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels
to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees
till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim on their foreheads."
Ezekiel 9:6 "Utterly slay old and young men,
maidens and little children and women;
but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark;
and begin at My sanctuary."
So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
Revelation 9:4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth,
or any green thing, or any tree,
but only those men who do not have the seal of Yahweh on their foreheads.
Ezekiel 10:2 Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said,
"Go in among the wheels, under the cherub,
fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim,
and scatter them over the city." And he went in as I watched.
Revelation 8:5 Then the angel took the censer,
filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth.
And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 16:2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth,
and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had
the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
Ezekiel 10:4 Then the glory of Yahweh went up from the cherub,
and paused over the threshold of the temple;
and the house was filled with the cloud,
and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh's glory.
Revelation 15:8 The temple was filled with smoke
from the glory of Yahweh and from His power,
and no one was able to enter the temple
till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
Ezekiel 10:12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands,
their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were FULL OF EYES ALL AROUND.
Revelation 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal.
And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne,
were four living creatures FULL OF EYES IN FRONT AND IN BACK.
Ezekiel 14:21 For thus says the Sovereign Yahweh:
"How much more it shall be when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem;
the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence;
to cut off man and beast from it?
Revelation 6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him.
And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth,
to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Ezekiel 20:11 "And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments,
'which, IF A MAN DOES, HE SHALL LIVE BY THEM.'
Romans 10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law,
"THE MAN WHO DOES THOSE THINGS SHALL LIVE BY THEM."
Ezekiel 27:1-36 appears to be echoed in Revelation 18:11
Ezekiel 32:7 When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens,
and make its stars dark;
I will COVER THE SUN with a cloud,
And THE MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT.
Revelation 8:12 Then the fourth angel sounded:
And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars,
so that a third of them were darkened.
A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days
the SUN WILL BE DARKENED,
AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT;
the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Ezekiel 36:20 "When they came to the nations,
wherever they went, THEY PROFANED MY HOLY NAME;
when they said of them, 'These are the people of Yahweh,
and yet they have gone out of His land.'
Romans 2:24 For "THE NAME OF YAHWEH
IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," as it is written.
Ezekiel 37:27 "My tabernacle also shall be with them;
indeed I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,
"Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men,
and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.
Yahweh Himself will be with them and be their Elohim.
Ezekiel 38:14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to GOG, '. . .
Ezekiel 38:22 "And I will bring him to judgment with . . .
great hailstones, FIRE, and brimstone.
Revelation 20:8-9 and will go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four corners of the earth, GOG and Magog,
to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth
and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city.
And FIRE CAME DOWN from God OUT OF HEAVEN and devoured them.
Ezekiel 39:17-20 "And as for you, son of man,
thus says the Sovereign Yahweh,
'SPEAK TO EVERY SORT OF BIRD and to every beast of the field:
"ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES AND COME;
GATHER TOGETHER FROM ALL SIDES TO MY SACRIFICIAL MEAL
which I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 YOU SHALL EAT THE FLESH OF THE MIGHTY,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
of rams and lambs, of goats and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full, and drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal which I am sacrificing for you.
20 You shall be filled at My table WITH HORSES AND RIDERS,
with mighty men and with all the men of war,"
says the Sovereign Yahweh.
Revelation 19:17-18 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun;
and he cried with a loud voice, SAYING TO ALL THE BIRDS
that fly in the midst of heaven,
"COME AND GATHER TOGETHER FOR THE SUPPER OF THE GREAT ELOHIM,
18 "that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains,
THE FLESH OF MIGHTY MEN, THE FLESH OF HORSES
AND OF THOSE WHO SIT ON THEM,
and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."
Ezekiel 40:2 In the visions of Elohim
He took me into the land of Israel and SET ME ON A VERY HIGH MOUNTAIN;
on it toward the south was something like the structure of A CITY.
Revelation 21:2 Then I, John, saw THE holy CITY,
New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Yahweh,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit
to A GREAT AND HIGH MOUNTAIN,
and showed me THE great CITY, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from Elohim,
Ezekiel 40:3 He took me there, and behold,
there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze.
HE HAD a line of flax and A MEASURING ROD in his hand,
and he stood in the gateway.
Ezekiel 40:47 And he measured the court,
one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare.
The altar was in front of the temple.
Ezekiel 41:13 So he MEASURED THE TEMPLE, one hundred cubits long;
and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls
was one hundred cubits long;
Revelation 21:15 And he who talked with me HAD A GOLD REED
TO MEASURE the city, its gates, and its wall.
Revelation 11:1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod.
And the angel stood, saying,
"Rise and MEASURE THE TEMPLE of Yahweh,
the altar, and those who worship there.
Ezekiel 44:9 'Thus says the Sovereign Yahweh:
"NO foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh,
SHALL ENTER My sanctuary,
including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.
Revelation 21:27 But there shall by NO means ENTER IT
anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie,
but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Ezekiel 47:1-8 Then he brought me back to the door of the temple;
and there was water,
flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east,
for the front of the temple faced east;
the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple,
south of the altar.
2 He brought me out by way of the north gate,
and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east;
and there was water, running out on the right side.
3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand,
he measured one thousand cubits,
and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles.
4 Again he measured one thousand
and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees.
Again he measured one thousand
and brought me through; the water came up to my waist.
5 Again he measured one thousand,
and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep,
water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.
6 He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?"
Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.
7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river,
were very many trees on one side and the other.
8 Then he said to me: "This water flows toward the eastern region,
goes down into the valley, and enters the sea.
When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.
Ezekiel 47:12 "Along the bank of the river, on this side and that,
will grow all kinds of trees used for food;
their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail.
They will BEAR FRUIT EVERY MONTH,
because their water flows from the sanctuary.
Their fruit will be for food, and THEIR LEAVES FOR MEDICINE."
Revelation 22:1-2 And he showed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of Yahweh and of the Lamb.
2 In the middle of its street, and ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER,
WAS THE TREE of life, which bore twelve fruits,
each tree YIELDING ITS FRUIT EVERY MONTH.
THE LEAVES of the tree WERE FOR THE HEALING of the nations.
Ezekiel 48:31 (the GATES OF THE CITY
shall be NAMED AFTER THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL),
the three gates northward:
one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi;
Revelation 21:12 Also she had a great and high wall with TWELVE GATES,
and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them,
WHICH ARE THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL:
Ezekiel 48:35 "All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits;
and the name of the city from that day shall be: YAHWEH Is THERE."
Revelation 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it,
for the glory of Yahweh illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.
Revelation 22:5 There shall be no night there:
They need no lamp nor light of the sun,
for the Sovereign Yahweh gives them light.
And they shall reign forever and ever.
This review of Ezekiel has been inspiring to me
and I hope it has been for you too.
Let us all take heed of the prophecies Yahweh has given us
to walk in His ways and be pleasing to Him.
to walk in His ways and be pleasing to Him.
May Yahweh bless you and your family
with love and patience in your home.
with love and patience in your home.
The New Moon should be observed in the USA the evening of 2-28-2006
making 3-1 the New Moon Day.

Ezekiel the Prophet
Reading time 13 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Ezekiel the Priest and Prophet wrote from about 593 to 571 B.C.E.
He was taken captive to Babylon in the second group of Jews
who were taken to Babylon in about 598.
2 Kings 24:14-16 Also he ( the king of Babylon )
carried into captivity all Jerusalem:
all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives,
and all the craftsmen and smiths.
None remained except the poorest people of the land.
15 And he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon.
The king's mother, the king's wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land
he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 All the valiant men, seven thousand,
and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand,
all who were strong and fit for war,
these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

None remained except the poorest people of the land.

he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 All the valiant men, seven thousand,
and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand,
all who were strong and fit for war,
these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
He wrote his prophecies there for many years.
Ezekiel 1:2 says he began to write in the fifth year of the captivity
and 29:17 says he received another prophecy in the 27th year of the captivity.
So he wrote for at least 22 years.
Ezekiel 1:2 says he began to write in the fifth year of the captivity
and 29:17 says he received another prophecy in the 27th year of the captivity.
So he wrote for at least 22 years.
We say this is the prophecy of Ezekiel
but far more than half of the book is the words of Yahweh.
Much of the rest is a record of visions given by Yahweh.
but far more than half of the book is the words of Yahweh.
Much of the rest is a record of visions given by Yahweh.
The book of Ezekiel may be divided into three parts:
Chapters. 1-24 present prophecies against Judah and Jerusalem before the fall of Jerusalem
Chapters 25-32 the prophecies against other nations
Chapters 33-48 promises for the future restoration of Israel and the Temple.
Some of these prophecies are clearly about Yahshua's coming 1000-year reign.

Chapters 33-48 promises for the future restoration of Israel and the Temple.
Some of these prophecies are clearly about Yahshua's coming 1000-year reign.
In chapter 1, Ezekiel describes his vision of Yahweh's moving throne.
It must have been a wonder to behold.
It must have been a wonder to behold.
In chapters 2 and 3 Ezekiel tells about being given a scroll to eat.
On the scroll were written "lamentations, mourning, and woe."
He is told to warn Israel and Judah to turn from their sins.
On the scroll were written "lamentations, mourning, and woe."
He is told to warn Israel and Judah to turn from their sins.
In chapter 4 he is told to make a model of Jerusalem
and model a war against it. Then! :
Ezekiel 4:4-6 "Lie also on your left side,
and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it.
According to the number of the days that you lie on it,
you shall bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days;
so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side;
then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days.
I have laid on you a day for each year.
and model a war against it. Then! :
Ezekiel 4:4-6 "Lie also on your left side,
and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it.
According to the number of the days that you lie on it,
you shall bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days;
so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side;
then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days.
I have laid on you a day for each year.
Sometimes it's hard being a prophet.
What Yahweh said in 4:12 was too much for Ezekiel.
In chapter 5 he had to shave his hair and divide it in thirds to be
burned, struck with a sword and scattered.
A little bit of hair was to be saved and then also burned.
This is a picture of the punishment on Jerusalem for their sins
burned, struck with a sword and scattered.
A little bit of hair was to be saved and then also burned.
This is a picture of the punishment on Jerusalem for their sins
A well-known vision of idolatry is recorded in chapter 8
Ezekiel 8:15-17 Then He ( Yahweh ) said to me,
"Have you seen this, O son of man?
Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these."
16 So He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh's house;
and there, at the door of the temple of Yahweh,
between the porch and the altar,
were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh
and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.
17 And He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man?
Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah
to commit the abominations which they commit here?
For they have filled the land with violence;
then they have returned to provoke Me to anger.
Ezekiel 8:15-17 Then He ( Yahweh ) said to me,
"Have you seen this, O son of man?
Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these."
16 So He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh's house;
and there, at the door of the temple of Yahweh,
between the porch and the altar,

17 And He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man?
Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah
to commit the abominations which they commit here?
For they have filled the land with violence;
then they have returned to provoke Me to anger.
Ezekiel records Yahweh's statement of individual responsibility:
Ezekiel 18:1-9 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
2 "What do you mean when you use this proverb

"you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.
4 "Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father
as well as the soul of the son is Mine;

5 But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right;
6 If he has not eaten on the mountains,
nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
nor defiled his neighbor's wife, nor approached a woman during her impurity;
7 If he has not oppressed anyone, But has restored to the debtor his pledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing;
8 If he has not exacted usury nor taken any increase,
But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity
And executed true judgment between man and man;
9 If he has walked in My statutes and kept My judgments faithfully;
He is just; He shall surely live!" Says the Sovereign Yahweh.
Ezekiel 18:1-9 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
2 "What do you mean when you use this proverb
concerning the land of Israel, saying:
'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'?
3 "As I live," says the Sovereign Yahweh,

Chapter 18 continues in the same manner,
discussing the fate of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Each is determined by his position of righteousness when he dies.

Chapter 21 depicts Babylon as the "sword of Yahweh's wrath"
Chapter 24 records the day Babylon comes to Jerusalem to destroy the city.
Chapter 28 contains an interesting passage about the "king of Tyre"
Some say it is about a literal king of that ancient city.
However, many scholars read this as a prophecy against the Adversary, Satan:
Verses 1-10 do indeed seem to be against an arrogant human king.
But consider these verses:
Ezekiel 28:11-17 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him,
Thus says the Sovereign Yahweh:
You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of Elohim;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 "YOU WERE THE ANOINTED ( MESSIAH! )CHERUB who covers;
I established you; you were on the holy mountain of Elohim;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 YOU WERE PERFECT in your ways from the day you were created,
until iniquity was found in you.
16 By the abundance of your trading
you became filled with violence within, and you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of Elohim;
and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;"
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, that they might gaze at you.

Isaiah 14:12-17 presents a similar view.
In the third section of Ezekiel,
the section that presents the future restoration of Israel,
chapter 37 stands out because of two important prophecies,
the valley of dry bones and the two sticks.
In 37:1-14, Ezekiel is shown a valley full of dry bones.
He is commanded to declare the word of Yahweh to the bones.
The bones come together, flesh comes upon them, and they come to life!
Ezekiel 37:11-14 Then He said to me,

chapter 37 stands out because of two important prophecies,
the valley of dry bones and the two sticks.
In 37:1-14, Ezekiel is shown a valley full of dry bones.
He is commanded to declare the word of Yahweh to the bones.
The bones come together, flesh comes upon them, and they come to life!
Ezekiel 37:11-14 Then He said to me,
Son of man, THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
They indeed say, Our bones are dry, our hope is lost,
and we ourselves are cut off!
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Sovereign Yahweh:
Behold, O My people, I will open your graves
and cause you to come up from your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 "Then you shall know that I am Yahweh,
when I have opened your graves, O My people,
and brought you up from your graves.
14 "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live,
and I will place you in your own land.
Then you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,"
says Yahweh.

14 "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live,
and I will place you in your own land.
Then you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,"
says Yahweh.
The remarkable two sticks prophecy follows immediately:
Ezekiel 37:15-19 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
16 "As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it:
'For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.'
Then take another stick and write on it,
For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick,
and they will become one in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people speak to you, saying,
Will you not show us what you mean by these?;
19 say to them, 'Thus says the Sovereign Yahweh:
"Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel, his companions;
and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah,
and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand."'
Ezekiel 37:15-19 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
16 "As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it:
'For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.'
Then take another stick and write on it,
For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick,

Ezekiel 37:24-26 "David My servant shall be king over them,
and they shall all have one shepherd;
they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them.
25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant,
where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there,
they, their children, and their children's children, forever;
and My servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them,
and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them;
I will establish them and multiply them,
and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore."

This is a clear prophecy of Yahweh's kingdom and
contains the same ideas as the New Covenant promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34!

Chapter 44 prophesies of the Levitical priesthood
serving Yahweh again in the Kingdom era.
Ezekiel 44:23-24 "And they shall teach My people the difference
between the holy and the unholy,
and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 In controversy they shall stand as judges,
and judge it according to My judgments.
They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings,
and they shall hallow My Sabbaths."

This is echoed in Malachi:
Malachi 3:3-4 He ( Yahshua )will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;
He will purify the sons of Levi,
and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer to Yahweh an offering in righteousness.
4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to Yahweh,
as in the days of old, as in former years.

The final chapters of Ezekiel show the glorious future of Israel and of Jerusalem.
This is a dual prophecy.
Some parts apply to both while others apply to the Kingdom era.

Zephaniah the Prophet
Reading time 6 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Zephaniah the Prophet wrote about 630 B.C.E.
His name means "Yahweh has concealed "or Yahweh of darkness.
He wrote during the reign of Josiah, king of Judah.
He was actually the great-great-grandson of king Hezekiah.
He and Jeremiah would have known each other.
His name means "Yahweh has concealed "or Yahweh of darkness.
He wrote during the reign of Josiah, king of Judah.
He was actually the great-great-grandson of king Hezekiah.
He and Jeremiah would have known each other.
The book of Zephaniah is entirely the words of Yahweh!
The only exception is 1:1.
The only exception is 1:1.
The book is only two pages
and it begins with warnings of Yahweh's judgement.
The day of Yahweh is forecast and it isn't nice.
Zephaniah 1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Sovereign Yahweh;
For the day of Yahweh is at hand,
For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.
and it begins with warnings of Yahweh's judgement.
The day of Yahweh is forecast and it isn't nice.
Zephaniah 1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Sovereign Yahweh;
For the day of Yahweh is at hand,
For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.
Zephaniah 1:14-15 The great day of Yahweh is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of Yahweh is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of Yahweh is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Yahweh tells His children what to do:
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek Yahweh, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden In the day of Yahweh's anger.
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek Yahweh, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden In the day of Yahweh's anger.
Yahweh then tells of His judgement against heathen nations:
Zephaniah 2:10 This they shall have for their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
Zephaniah 2:10 This they shall have for their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
In Chapter three Yahweh begins by talking about the sad state of Jerusalem.
He ends that with:
Zephaniah 3:7 I said, 'Surely you will fear Me, You will receive instruction';
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.
He ends that with:
Zephaniah 3:7 I said, 'Surely you will fear Me, You will receive instruction';
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.
Then comes verse 8 in which Yahweh alludes to that day of Yahweh:
Zephaniah 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," says Yahweh,
"Until the day I rise up for plunder;
My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation, All my fierce anger;
All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
Zephaniah 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," says Yahweh,
"Until the day I rise up for plunder;
My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation, All my fierce anger;
All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
Someone wrote that this idea appears in Revelation:
Revelation 16:14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle of that great day of Yahweh Almighty.
Revelation 16:14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle of that great day of Yahweh Almighty.
It may seem that statement does not agree with the scriptures.
Zephaniah 3:8 says Yahweh will gather the nations
but Revelation 16:14 says the nations will gather of their accord.
We must realize that Yahweh is directing them
and that is what makes them gather.
Zephaniah 3:8 says Yahweh will gather the nations
but Revelation 16:14 says the nations will gather of their accord.
We must realize that Yahweh is directing them
and that is what makes them gather.
In the last twelve verses (3:8-20) Yahweh shares
the promise of end-time salvation in His kingdom:
Zephaniah 3:9-20 "For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language,
That they all may call on the name of Yahweh,
To serve Him with one accord.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones, Shall bring My offering.
11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
in which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst those who rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain.
12 I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of Yahweh.
13 The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak no lies,
Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
For they shall feed their flocks and lie down and no one shall make them afraid."
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 Yahweh has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy.
The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst; you shall see disaster no more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: 'Do not fear;
Zion, let not your hands be weak.
17 Yahweh your Elohim in your midst, the Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
18 I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly,
who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you;
I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land
where they were put to shame.
20 At that time I will bring you back. Even at the time I gather you;
For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth
when I return your captives before your eyes," says Yahweh.

Nahum the Prophet
Reading time 3 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Nahum wrote a two-page book that bears is name.
The Hebrew name Nahum means "compassion," or "comfort"
and is interesting in light of Yahweh's promises throughout the book
of comfort and deliverance for his people.
and is interesting in light of Yahweh's promises throughout the book
of comfort and deliverance for his people.
The earliest date Nahum could have written is 663 B.C.E.
This is the date of the fall of Thebes to which he refers here:
Nahum 3:8-10 Are you ( Nivevah )any better than Thebes,
surrounded by rivers, protected by water on all sides?
9 Ethiopia and the land of Egypt
were the source of her strength, which seemed without limit.
The nations of Put and Libya also helped and supported her.
10 Yet Thebes fell, and her people were led away as captives.
Her babies were dashed to death against the stones of the streets.
Soldiers cast lots to see who would get the Egyptian officers as servants.
All their leaders were bound in chains.

and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple,
and overturned the tables of the money changers
and the seats of those who sold doves.
13 And He said to them, "It is written,
'My house shall be called a house of prayer,'
but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'"
and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple,
and overturned the tables of the money changers
and the seats of those who sold doves.
13 And He said to them, "It is written,
'My house shall be called a house of prayer,'
but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'"
This passage is also quoted in Mark 11:17 and Luke 19:46
Jeremiah 9:24 But let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me, That I am Yahweh,
exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight," says Yahweh.
That he understands and knows Me, That I am Yahweh,
exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight," says Yahweh.
1 Corinthians 1:31 that, as it is written,
"He who glories, let him glory in Yahweh."
"He who glories, let him glory in Yahweh."
2 Corinthians 10:17 But "he who glories, let him glory in Yahweh."
In this case the idea seems to be from Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 10:6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O Yahweh
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
Jeremiah 10:6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O Yahweh
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear You, O Yahweh,
and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested."
and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested."
Jeremiah 18:6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?"
says Yahweh. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand,
so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
says Yahweh. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand,
so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have power over the clay,
from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
The idea of Yahshua's authority as King:
Jeremiah 23:5-6 "Behold, the days are coming," says Yahweh,
"That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper,
And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
YAHWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Dear Friends in Yahshua,
Habakkuk prophesied to Judah about 640 B.C.E.
Before the conquest of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans (Babylonians)
Before the conquest of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans (Babylonians)
His name means "Embrace."
His prophecy begins with a lament about the bad conditions in Jerusalem.
He asks why Yahweh does not correct His people.
Yahweh answers that He is preparing the Chaldeans to do just that.
Habakkuk 1:6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,
a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth
to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

Habakkuk 1:6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,
a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth

There is some rehearsal of how bad the Jews have behaved:

And the beam from the timbers will answer it.
12 "Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!"

And the beam from the timbers will answer it.
12 "Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!"
(That is some picturesque writing!)
Habakuk wonders why Yahweh allows it.
Habakkuk 1:13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
and cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
and hold Your tongue when the wicked
devours a person more righteous than he?

Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet in it there is no breath at all.

And there be no herd in the stalls;
18 Yet I will rejoice in Yahweh,
I will joy in the Elohim of my salvation.
19 Yahweh my Elohim is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer's feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.

The Lamentations Of Jeremiah
Reading time 7 minutes
Dear Friends in Yahshua,
The Lamentations of Jeremiah were probably written within a few years
after the fall of Jerusalem in 587/6 B.C.E.
after the fall of Jerusalem in 587/6 B.C.E.
The Jews read this book each year on the date the temple was destroyed,
the ninth day of the fifth month, Tisha b'Av.
the ninth day of the fifth month, Tisha b'Av.
Perhaps they were written to be memorized and sung in Babylon
and in Egypt by the people of Judah.
and in Egypt by the people of Judah.
There is a parallel to the book of Job
Job seems to be all about the tragedy of one man
while Lamentations is about the tragedy of the nation and the city.
Job seems to be all about the tragedy of one man
while Lamentations is about the tragedy of the nation and the city.
Lamentations is in the form of poems
and not just poems but acrostic poems.
In chapters 1, 2, and 4 each verse starts with the next letter of the Hebrew alef-bet.
Chapter 3 has sets of three verses for each letter; 66 verses in all.
Chapter five does not follow the alef-bet although it does contain 22 verses.

Chapter 3 has sets of three verses for each letter; 66 verses in all.
Chapter five does not follow the alef-bet although it does contain 22 verses.
There is an exception in chapters 2, 3, and 4
In these chapters the letter ayin comes after pe ( pronounced pay )
rather than before as it appears in the alef-bet.
There are two possible reasons for this:
First, it may have been one common order for the alef-bet at the time.
Second, it may have been done to call attention to the pe
because it stands for 70, the number of years the exile was to last
or because ayin stands for eye and pe stands for mouth.
Jeremiah didn't say.

Chapter one relates the desolation of Jerusalem.
Lamentations 1:1-2 How lonely sits the city that was full of people!
How like a widow is she who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers she has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.

Among all her lovers she has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
The first eleven verses are from the viewpoint of the author,
the second eleven are as if Jerusalem is speaking.
Jerusalem mourns for the trouble she has seen
but acknowledges that Yahweh's judgement on her is righteous.
Lamentations 1:18 "Yahweh is righteous,
For I rebelled against His commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.

And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.
In chapter two, Jeremiah writes as one of those
who has experienced the troubles of the city
Lamentations 2:11-12 My eyes fail with tears,
My heart is troubled;
My bile is poured on the ground
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
because the children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?"
as they swoon like the wounded In the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out in their mothers' bosom.

12 They say to their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?"
as they swoon like the wounded In the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out in their mothers' bosom.
After verse 17 he exhorts the people to call out to Yahweh in repentance
for the sake of the children.
Lamentations 2:19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches;
Pour out your heart like water before the face of Yahweh.
Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children,
Who faint from hunger at the head of every street.

Chapter 3 contains 66 shorter verses
instead of the 22 longer verses of chapters 1 and 2.
The first 21 verses mourn the trials of the author:
Lamentations 3:1-3
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
2 He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.
3 Surely He has turned His hand against me
time and time again throughout the day.

2 He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.
3 Surely He has turned His hand against me
time and time again throughout the day.
Verse 22 begins a section where he talks about the mercy of Yahweh.
The word "good" has not appeared before, but these three verses begin with it.
Lamentations 3:25-27 YLT
25 Good is Yahweh to those waiting for Him, to the soul that seeks Him.
26 Good! when one stays and stands still for the salvation of Yahweh.
27 Good for a man that he bears a yoke in his youth.

26 Good! when one stays and stands still for the salvation of Yahweh.
27 Good for a man that he bears a yoke in his youth.
When we sin we often force Yahweh to punish us:
Lamentations 3:33 NIV
For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
Lamentations 3:33 NIV
For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
We must repent and wait for Yahweh's punishment to end.
It surely will end.
It surely will end.
Chapter 4 returns to the discussion of the sins of Jerusalem.
The fault is with the people and their leaders,
the prophets, priests and kings.
Lamentations 4:11-13 Yahweh has given full vent to his wrath;
He has poured out his fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations.
12 The kings of the earth did not believe, nor did any of the world's people,
that enemies and foes could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
13 But it happened because of the sins of her prophets
and the iniquities of her priests,
who shed within her the blood of the righteous.

Every class is afflicted with the punishment for Jerusalem's sins.
Even though the calamity was executed by the nation of Babylon,
the only other nation mentioned in Lamentations is Edom:
Lamentations 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O Daughter of Edom,
you who live in the land of Uz.
But to you also the cup will be passed; you will be drunk and stripped naked.

But Edom had long been their enemy.
They may be happy to see Jerusalem's downfall today,
but their day is surely coming.
But Edom had long been their enemy.
They may be happy to see Jerusalem's downfall today,
but their day is surely coming.
Chapter 5 is a final prayer to Yahweh:
Lamentations 5:1 Remember, O Yahweh, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.
Lamentations 5:1 Remember, O Yahweh, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.
Lamentations 5:21 Restore us to yourself, O Yahweh, that we may return;

renew our days as of old
The book of Lamentations is alluded to only twice in the NT
As you might guess, both cases are in the book of Revelations.
Both refer to this verse:
Lamentations 1:15 "Yahweh has rejected all the warriors in my midst;
He has summoned an army against me to crush my young men.
In his winepress Yahweh has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.

Both refer to this verse:
Lamentations 1:15 "Yahweh has rejected all the warriors in my midst;
He has summoned an army against me to crush my young men.
In his winepress Yahweh has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
Revelation 14:19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth,
gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of Yahweh's wrath.
gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of Yahweh's wrath.
And, referring to Yahshua:
Revelation 19:15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword
with which to strike down the nations.
"He will rule them with an iron scepter."
He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Yahweh Almighty.
Revelation 19:15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword
with which to strike down the nations.
"He will rule them with an iron scepter."
He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Yahweh Almighty.
I see this book as a song to be sung by those Yahweh is punishing.
The song is designed to help them in repentance
and to draw them back to Yahweh's loving mercy.
The song is designed to help them in repentance
and to draw them back to Yahweh's loving mercy.
It grows out of Jeremiah's great grief over the sins
that brought on this needless pain.
that brought on this needless pain.
It is a song of sorrow and pain
but also a song of some hope and a return to righteousness.
but also a song of some hope and a return to righteousness.
Perhaps we can use this song when we face trials and tests.
Let us all walk in righteousness and, when we fail, repent before Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you and your family with a close relationship with Yahweh.

And the Word of Yahweh from Jerusalem,
We will walk in His footsteps,
And He will teach us His ways...

When we like sheep had gone astray, our shepherd came,
And on His shoulders bore our shame.

On His shoulders, He bore our shame.
It was our sin, that brought Him down.
When we like sheep had gone astray, our shepherd came,
And on His shoulders bore our shame.
On His shoulders, On His shoulders.
On His shoulders, He bore our shame.
Meek as a lamb, that's led out to the slaughter-house,
Dumb as a sheep, before its shearer.
His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain,
That we might be born again.
That we might be, that we might be,
That we might be born again.
Dumb as a sheep, before its shearer.
His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain,
That we might be born again.

That we might be born again.
Out from the tomb He came with grace and majesty,
He is alive! He is alive!
Yah loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side,
Yes, we know, He is alive!
He is alive! He is alive!
He is alive! He is alive!
He is alive! He is alive!

Yes, we know, He is alive!
He is alive! He is alive!
He is alive! He is alive!
How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him,
That brings good news, good news.
Announcing peace; proclaiming news of happiness;
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!
That brings good news, good news.
Announcing peace; proclaiming news of happiness;
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!
Yahweh reigns, Yahweh reigns!

Will clap, will clap their hands.
