GRACE AND MERCY
Grace is another misunderstood word.
Grace and Mercy in the Hebrew consists of about 16 words.
Grace and Mercy in the Greek consists of about 17 words.
The mainstream and “church” definition and understanding of grace is unmerited favor to all mankind.
This cannot be further from the truth.
It must be understood that the Bible is not for all mankind. The Bible is a book about a family, a race of people. This family is the only family with the breath (Spirit, DNA) breathed into them.
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him;
5:2 Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 2:7 And Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Adam is NOT the father of all the races. God created everything to carry it's own seed, kind after kind. If the other races came from Adam, or even Noah (as the “churches” teach), then God would be breaking His own laws.
He would also not be a God of His own Word because He has selected a peculiar and special people to Himself. If God loves everybody and wants to 'save' everybody, then why all the genealogies and statements of being separate, and choosing this people over those people?
Why make promises and covenants only to break them or add to them?
The definition of Adam is found in the Hebrew word for Adam, which is adam (awdawm).
Adam is defined as ruddy, rosy, to show blood in the face, able to blush. He is also described in scripture as fair, white (as snow), pure.
This can only describe the white race. Yes, Adam and his descendants are Caucasian.
The Bible is NOT a Jewish book. The Jews are descendants of Cain and of Esau. They are not white and they are not even Semites, because they are not descendants of Shem, and a Semite is a white person.
The white race are descendants of Adam and the children of Jacob/Israel are Israelites. Jacob's 12 sons are NOT Jews. The Edomite Jews are from Jacob's brother, Esau Edom. These were mixed with Cain's descendants, hence Canaanite and Edomite Jews. They killed Christ, and try to kill us by oppression, usury and race mixing, hence the Federal Reserve Bank and the media propaganda of miscegenation, and the relentless poisoning of our people through flouride, GMO's, chemtrails, pharmakeia, abortion, etc. They have no mercy for the sheep.
Most people have no idea where grace and mercy comes from.
In a nutshell...
Abraham was told by God to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. This is symbolic of Yahweh the Father and Yahshua Christ the Son.
Abraham obeyed God, knowing that God would keep the promise He made with him, to make him a father of many nations, and knew that He would either replace Isaac, or raise him after his sacrifice.
When Isaac was offered up on the altar, he was dedicated to God. That meant that whatever came from the loins of Isaac was God's. Jacob and Esau. Jacob and his descendants became the vessels of mercy, and Esau's descendants became the vessels of wrath and destruction.
Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for value and another not for value?
9:22 And if Elohim, desiring to show wrath, and to make His power known, with much patience tolerated the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Esau married Hittite wives (Canaanites), his descendants are not a pure seed, they are race mixed children. Canaanites and Edomites are the cursed seedline of Genesis 3:15.
Romans 9:23 And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore prepared unto glory,
The children of Jacob are a pure seed. They are the ones that obey the commands of remaining separate. This is the other seedline of Genesis 3:15.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee (Satan) and the woman (Eve), and between thy (Satan's) seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Cain was the first Jew, as Satan was his father, just as Christ states in John chapter 8. The Canaanites and Edomites have always been the thorns in our side. They have always been sheeny vagabonds and international Jews. They now have control of the world through their banking, usury, mercantile, and religious deceptions. They have deceived everybody, save the elect few.
God allows the cursed seed to exist because they are part of our test and trial, to see if we will follow and obey God. Christ teaches about the 2 seedlines of Genesis 3:15 in the parable of the wheat (Jacob) and the tares (Esau) in Matthew chapter 13:24-30,36-43.
Our favor (grace) and merciful loving-commitment comes from the promises and covenants made to our forefather Abraham.
The children of Israel are not destroyed because of the promises made by God to Abraham.
Yahweh wanted to destroy our ancestors for their disobedience several times in the scriptures, thanks to the promise He made, those of them, and us, that follow Him are preserved by His grace and mercy. And thanks to Moses for his intercession during the wandering when Yahweh was hot against our ancestors.
Grace and Mercy only works if we walk in The Way, the commands, statutes, ordinances and judgments given to us at Mount Sinai. It is evident in scripture that we can fall from grace, and even be blotted out of the book of life. Many were destroyed in the Exodus and other places in scripture, so “grace” does not make you bulletproof.
When we follow the example Christ showed us and continually, consciously, and sincerely strive for allegiance (faith), we are eligible to receive “grace” and “mercy”.
Grace is favor. The favor comes from the promises made to Abraham. Our ancestors also made promises to keep and follow God (Ex 19:8, 24:3,7 and a few other places). It works both ways.
2Chronicles 30:7 And be not you like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against Yahweh God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as you see.
30:8 Now be you not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto Yahweh, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever: and serve Yahweh your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.
30:9 For if you (re)turn again unto Yahweh, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if you return unto Him.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shalt be no priest to Me: seeing you hast forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
Grace is the 'free gift', which is Divine Gratuity given to the children of Jacob, because we are the seed of Abraham, but we must also present ourselves worthy of this Divine Gratuity to be eligible to receive it. Those that disobey and do not seek and follow Yahweh will not claim the inheritance that grace allows.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
So it stands to reason that 'Cursed are they that do not do His commandments, that they may have no right to the tree of life, and may not enter in through the gates into the city.'
This is a lengthy study, but by the end of it, you should be able to see exactly what Grace and Mercy means, how it is shown, and why it is or is not shown. This is what studying is all about.
Going to 'church' on the day of the sun god, filled with the unclean, with pagan symbols, and counterfeit doctrine, believing your pastor's lying tongue, and worshiping Jews is not studying. In fact, it's contrary to everything Christian and removes you from Grace and Mercy.
It matters Who and what we believe in.
You will also see that Grace and Mercy from Yahweh are exclusive to the race of Adam, and for the children of Jacob.
Not one example of Grace and Mercy states that anyone outside the household of God's family receive it.
Not the Jews. Not the 'churches'. Not the other races. Nobody else.
Rejoice, for if you have been born from above into the white race, this message of Divine Gratuity is for you.
Genesis 6:7 And Yahweh said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me (makes Me sigh) that I have made them.
6:8 But Noah found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in the eyes of Yahweh.
6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Noah was perfect in his posterity. A pure descendant of Adam and obeyed Yahweh. Undefiled in his family lineage. Everyone else was doing the opposite. Yahweh favored, or accepted, Noah for this.
The call of Abram is detailed beginning in the Book of Jasher (Jasher means the upright). Jasher 11:14-12:70 and continues through more chapters. And in scripture beginning at Genesis chapter 12.
Abraham knew Yahweh, trusted Yahweh, and obeyed Him. Because of this, Yahweh chose Abraham and his descendants to be His special chosen people to guard, carry on, and preserve The Way, which is the heritage, history, laws and duty of our people. Our people, meaning, our family. The born from above and chosen family of Yahweh God in the earth. Literal flesh and blood children of the Most High.
Chapter 15 and 17 of Genesis records the covenant made with Abram and his seed (posterity).
Genesis 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you, and to your seed after you.
Genesis 18:1 And Yahweh appeared unto him (Abraham) in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
Only 2 of these men go on to Sodom and Gomorrah. One of these 3 'men' is Yahweh in the form of a man (verse 1).
18:3 And (Abraham) said, My Master, if now I have found favour in Your sight, pass not away, I pray You, from Your servant:
Favour is the same word as grace (chen H2580). Acceptance.
Genesis 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels (messengers) hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters, which are here; lest you be consumed in the (punishment of) iniquity of the city.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; Yahweh being merciful (H2551- having compassion) on him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you, neither stay you in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Elohiym :
19:19 Behold now, your servant hath found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your sight, and you hast magnified your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), which you hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest (as) some evil (calamity) take me, and I die:
19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little (petty) one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little (petty) one?) and my soul shall live.
19:21 And He said unto him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which you hast spoken.
19:22 Haste you, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till you be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Zoar means 'insignificance'.
19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth (land) when Lot entered into Zoar.
19:24 Then Yahweh rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh out of heaven (the sky);
19:25 And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
The 2 angels that came to Sodom to take Lot and his family out of the city, showed Lot favor, because he was a just man living in a satanic society.
Lot was shown loving-commitment because he was a just son of Adam. The children of Adam are the children of the Most High in Adamic flesh bodies.
God tests Abraham beginning in Genesis 22. This is when Abraham obeys Yahweh and prepares to offer Isaac to be a perfect burnt offering. This is symbolic of Yahweh offering His perfect Son Yahshua Christ.
Genesis 22:16 And said, By Myself have I sworn, saith Yahweh, for because (on account that) you hast done this thing, and hast not withheld your son, your only (most beloved) son:
22:17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Hebrews 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
22:18 And in your seed shall all the (Adamic) nations of the earth be blessed; because you hast obeyed My voice.
For full details and a study on the promises and covenants made with Abraham see:
Covenants and Promises https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/covenants-and-promises-2/
See also: Genesis https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/genesis/ (starting with chapter 12)
The covenants and promises were passed down throughout Abraham's posterity through Isaac and Jacob and continues through Jacob's 12 sons and their descendants which are the white Anglo-Saxon peoples of the world. True Israel.
The Jews are NOT the Israel of the bible. They are the cursed seedline of Cain and Esau. They have fooled the entire world into believing they are Hebrews, Israelites, and God's chosen people, which they are not.
The Jews admit that they are not the descendants of the Ancient Israelites in their own writings.
Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following:
"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew."
(1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
“Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860″ —Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23
“Edom is in modern Jewry.” —The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol.5, p.41
Genesis 36:8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
In paragraph 1 of Protocol 3 of Learned Elders of Zion the leaders of Jewry admit that the Jews are the serpent race of Satan.
Plenty of evidence proving this. See: Who's Who menu on website.
The promises and covenants made with Abraham are exclusive. Nowhere in scripture do they transfer to, or add anyone else, the 'believers', or the 'church'.
You are either a descendant of Jacob or you are not.

Genesis 20:13 (Abraham speaking to Abimelech) And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her (Sarah), This is your kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) which you shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
The Septuagint has 'righteousness'.
Part of the definition of chesed is kindness; by implication (towards God), mercy and pity.
The main meaning of chesed is loving-commitment.
Sarah honored her husband which is honoring Yahweh.
Genesis 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you doest:
21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that you wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness (H2617- good deed) that I have done unto you, you shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein you hast sojourned.
21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
Chesed also means favour, good deed, kindly, and righteousness.
The Septuagint uses 'righteousness'.
Abraham sends the eldest servant of his house to go to his country, to his kindred, and take a wife for Isaac. The servant went to the city of Nahor.
Nahor was Abraham's older brother, and also the name of his grandfather.
Genesis 24:12 And he (Abraham' servant) said, O YAHWEH God of my master Abraham, I pray You, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) unto my master Abraham.
24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that You hast appointed for Your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that You hast shewed kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) unto my master.
24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Fair: Clear; free from spots; free from a dark hue; white; as a fair skin; a fair complexion.
The Septuagint and the Geneva both use 'mercy'.
Abraham's servant would certainly understand that Yahweh was with Abraham and all his household and would have witnessed His loving-commitment to him.
24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
24:27 And he said, Blessed be Yahweh God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and His truth: I being in the way, Yahweh led me to the house of my master's brethren.
The Septuagint has 'righteousness'.
Genesis 30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
30:26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you knowest my service which I have done you.
30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray you, if I have found favour (H2580- kindness, acceptance) in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that Yahweh hath blessed me for your sake.
'I have learned by experience' is H5172 nachash, meaning, to practice divination. The nachash in the garden is H5175 which is from H5172. Laban was using divination, a pagan practice, forbidden in Yahweh's laws.
Rachel had stolen her father's images when they left. The book of Jasher says Rachel stole these images in order that Laban might not know through them where Jacob had gone.
Genesis 32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your sight.
Esau hated Jacob. Jacob brought Esau a gift to find favor with him.
32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh which saidst unto me, Return unto your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well (H3190- favor) with you:
32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies (H2617- loving-commitment), and of all the truth, which You hast shewed unto Your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands (camps).
32:11 Deliver me, I pray You, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
Psalm 59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
32:12 And You saidst, I will surely do you good (H3190- favor you), and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
H3190 is yatab and means to do good to, to deal well with, to favor.
As Jacob and his family came closer to Esau, the Book of Jasher fills in why Esau's hatred was turned to kindness.
Jasher 32:27 And Yahweh heard the prayer of Jacob on that day, and Yahweh then delivered Jacob from the hands of his brother Esau.
28 And Yahweh sent three messengers of the messengers of the sky, and they went before Esau and came to him.
29 And these messengers appeared unto Esau and his people as two thousand men, riding upon horses furnished with all sorts of war instruments, and they appeared in the sight of Esau and all his men to be divided into four camps, with four chiefs to them.
30 And one camp went on and they found Esau coming with four hundred men toward his brother Jacob, and this camp ran toward Esau and his people and terrified them, and Esau fell off the horse in alarm, and all his men separated from him in that place, for they were greatly afraid.
And the other 3 camps did the same.
40 And Esau concealed his hatred against Jacob, because he was afraid of his life on account of his brother Jacob, and because he imagined that the four camps that he had lighted upon were Jacob's servants.
Jasher 32:57 And God put fear and kindness toward Jacob in the hearts of the men that came with Esau, and they also kissed Jacob and embraced him.
58 And also Eliphaz, the son of Esau, with his four brothers, sons of Esau, wept with Jacob, and they kissed him and embraced him, for the fear of Jacob had fallen upon them all.
Genesis 33:5 And he (Esau) lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he (Jacob) said, The children which God hath graciously given (H2603- has shown favor to) your servant.
33:6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
33:7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
33:8 And he said, What meanest you by all this drove (the gift) which I met? And he said, These are to find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in the sight of my lord.
33:9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you hast unto your self.
33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray you, if now I have found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you wast pleased with me.
33:11 Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God hath dealt graciously (H2603- favourably) with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he (Jacob) said, What needeth it (Why so)? let me find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in the sight of my lord.
Jacob wanted Esau to go ahead and he would meet him in Seir. Jacob said this to Esau in order to remove Esau and his men from him, so that Jacob might afterward go to his father's house to the land of Canaan.
Genesis 34:11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
Shechem was the Canaanite that raped Dinah, Jacob's daughter.
This guy wasn't getting “unmerited favor”!
Genesis 39:3 And his master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
39:4 And Joseph found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in his (Potiphar's) sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Potiphar was an officer of Pharaoh.
When we follow Yahweh, whether in peace or in trials, He will show us favor. Joseph was shown favor in Egypt and Daniel was shown favor in Babylon.
Genesis 39:21 But Yahweh was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), and gave him favour (H2580- acceptance) in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways please Yahweh, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh's cup bearer and baker while in prison.
Genesis 40:12 And Joseph said unto him (the cup bearer), This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
40:13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up your head, and restore you unto your place: and you shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when you wast his butler (cup bearer).
40:14 But think on me when it shall be well (H3190- favorable) with you, and shew kindness (H2617- good-deedliness, mercy), I pray you, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
40:15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Genesis 43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy (H7356- favor, compassion) before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
Joseph sent his brothers back to Jacob that they would bring him Benjamin. Joseph had not yet made himself known to them yet.
43:29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious (H2603- show favor) unto you, my son.
43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels (H7356- deep compassion) did yearn upon (for) his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
Genesis 47:25 And they said, You hast saved our lives: let us find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and prepared for the famine which preserved Egypt and the people from starvation.
Genesis 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel (Jacob) must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace (H2580- favor) in your sight, put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray you, in Egypt:
Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
Joseph has had hardship, but has prevailed. He has turned his brothers (archers) hatred into love.
49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Shepherd here means leader of the flock, and that is what Joseph is.
Stone of Israel means builder of Israel. Joseph was the leader of the sons of Jacob, just as the dream showed. This is where the building of the house of Israel began. With the 70 souls that went into Egypt. The house (family) of Israel becomes a great nation (people) from here on out. It is these sons of Jacob and their descendants that Yahweh made the promises and covenants with and to. The “churches” have no right to include everybody else.
49:25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven (sky) above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb (H7356):
Blessings of the womb also means compassion.
Jacob is embalmed in the manner of the Egyptians, this evidently took forty days.
Genesis 50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
50:5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt you bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come again.
50:6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.
In Genesis, we see that grace is showing favor, or being accepted.
Mercy is having compassion and showing loving-commitment.
Noah, Abraham, Lot, Sarah, Jacob and Joseph were all shown favor by Yahweh because they all trusted and obeyed Yahweh.
Lot was shown mercy, or loving-commitment, by being taken out of Sodom before it was destroyed.
Yahweh tells us not to dwell with the unrighteous.
Yahweh moved Esau's heart to kindness and compassion for his brother.
Grace and Mercy in Genesis when shown from Yahweh are exclusively to His children, the Adamic race, and to the children of Israel.
Exodus 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere (before) the midwives come in unto them.
The midwives obeyed Yahweh rather than the current government.
1:20 Therefore God dealt well with (H3190- prospered) the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Proverbs 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.

33:13 Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in Your sight, shew me now Your way, that I may know You, that I may find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in Your sight: and consider that this nation is Your people.

Moses is getting tired of these rebellious Israelites. Even after all the wonders they have seen, they still just don't get it.
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

7:11 You shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command you this day, to do them.
7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if you hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that Yahweh your God shall keep unto you the covenant and the mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) which He sware unto your (fore) fathers:

13:8 You shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall your eye pity (H2347- pardon, spare) him, neither shalt you spare (H2550- pity, commiserate), neither shalt you conceal him:
13:9 But you shalt surely kill him; your hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
13:10 And you shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust you away from Yahweh your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

In other words, stay away from the Hymie Jesus worshiping Jew lovers and their synagogues of satan.
13:17 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to your hand: that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and shew you mercy (H7356- compassion), and have compassion (H7355- deep love) upon you, and multiply you, as He hath sworn unto your (fore) fathers;

Scripture teaches to remove the evil, make no covenant with them, and to love the enemies of your own race by exhorting them to righteousness and if they do not respond, then to cast them out and let the adversary deal with them.
Chapter 21 is the laws of unsolved murders.
Deuteronomy 21:8 Be merciful (H3722- Pardon), O Yahweh, unto Your people Israel, whom You hast redeemed (ransomed), and lay not innocent blood unto Your people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven (H3722- pardoned) them.

Deuteronomy 28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour (H2603- mercy) to the young:

30:3 That then Yahweh your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion (H7355) upon you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, whither Yahweh your God hath scattered you.
This is a prophecy of us (true Israel) and how we are scattered all over the world after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. As we went on to settle the white nations of the world today, we forgot our heritage and our laws and our true God Yahweh. We've created all these denominations and forsook His Way. Man cannot break off into his own version. WE MUST FOLLOW YAHWEH'S VERSION!!
Chapter 32 is the Song of Moses.

Chapter 1:21 of The Testament of Naphtali reads: So then, my children, let all your works be done in order with good intent in the fear of God, and do nothing disorderly in scorn or out of its due season.
22 For if you bid the eye to hear, it cannot; so neither while you are in darkness can you do the works of light.
23 Be you, therefore, not eager to corrupt your doings through covetousness or with vain words to beguile your souls; because if you keep silence in purity of heart, you shall understand how to hold fast the will of God, and to cast away the will of Beliar.
24 Sun and moon and stars, change not their order; so do you also change not the law of God in the disorderliness of your doings.
25 The nations went astray, and forsook Yahweh, and charged their order, and obeyed stocks and stones, spirits of deceit.
26 But you shall not be so, my children, recognizing in the firmament, in the earth, and in the sea, and in all created things, Yahweh who made all things, that you become not as Sodom, which changed the order of nature.
27 In like manner the Watchers also changed the order of their nature, whom Yahweh cursed at the flood, on whose account He made the earth without inhabitants and fruitless.
28 These things I say unto you, my children, for I have read in the writing of Enoch that you yourselves also shall depart from Yahweh, walking according to all the lawlessness of the nations, and you shall do according to all the wickedness of Sodom.
29 And Yahweh shall bring captivity upon you, and there shall you serve your enemies, and you shall be bowed down with every affliction and tribulation, until Yahweh have consumed you all.
30 And after ye have become diminished and made few, you return and acknowledge Yahweh your God; and He shall bring you back into your land, according to His abundant mercy.
31 And it shall be, that after that they come into the land of their fathers, they shall again forget Yahweh and become ungodly.
32 And Yahweh shall scatter them upon the face of all the earth, until the compassion of Yahweh shall come, a man working righteousness and working mercy unto all them that are afar off, and to them that are near.
Grace in Deuteronomy is seeking favor from Yahweh to defeat the enemy.
Mercy is that which comes from our compassionate Elohiym who shows loving-commitment to His obedient children.
Mercy is not to be shown to evil and to racial enemies.
Mercy and pity is not to be shown to those of our own race who try to lead you away from Yahweh.

2:11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, He is God in heaven (the sky) above, and in earth (the land) beneath.

2:13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
2:14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when Yahweh hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.

8:34 And the children of Israel remembered not Yahweh their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their (hated) enemies on every side:
8:35 Neither shewed they kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
Almost all of the tribe of Benjamin were killed in an Israelite civil war. The Benjaminites had become quite the apostate and homosexual group. Yahweh used the Benjaminites in this civil war to take out the unrighteous Israelites and then in turn He used the upright men who were left to execute His judgment on the children of Benjamin, nearly wiping them out.
Judges 21:16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
21:17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
21:18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
21:19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of Yahweh in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
21:20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21:21 And see (watch), and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
21:22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable (H2603- gracious) unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
You won't be guilty of your oath for giving your daughters to them, (verse 18).
21:23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
The Septuagint uses 'Grant them freely to us' and the Geneva uses 'Have pity on them'.
In Judges, Grace is favor and acceptance. Gideon, an upright Israelite was accepted in the eyes of Yahweh and shown favor in his battles. And the remaining Benjaminites were treated graciously in attaining wives.
Grace, which is also kindness and favor, was not shown to the house of Gideon after he died.
Mercy is kindness and was shown in a similar way as was in Joshua with Rahab.
Ruth 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance). And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Ruth wanted Boaz to show her interest (favor), to find acceptance in his eyes.
2:10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your eyes, that you shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger (sojourning kinswoman)?
2:11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that you hast done unto your mother in law since the death of your husband: and how you hast left your father and your mother, and the land of your nativity, and art come unto a people which you knewest not heretofore.
2:12 Yahweh recompense your work, and a full reward be given you of Yahweh God of Israel, under whose wings you art come to trust.
2:13 Then she said, Let me find favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in your sight, my lord; for that you hast comforted me, and for that you hast spoken friendly unto your handmaid, though I be not like unto one of your handmaidens.
Ruth found favor in Boaz eyes.
2:20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of Yahweh, who hath not left off his kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen (redeemer).
Ruth identified Boaz as one of her and Naomi's kinsman. Ruth was an Israelite that was born in the country of Moab.
The Septuagint uses 'mercy' and the Geneva uses 'ceaseth not to do good to the living and to the dead'.
Ruth 3:8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid (startled), and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
3:9 And he said, Who art you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you art a near kinsman (redeemer).
Ezekiel 16:8 Now when I passed by you, and looked upon you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread My skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yea, I sware unto you, and entered into a covenant with you, saith Yahweh GOD, and you becamest Mine.
3:10 And he said, Blessed be you of Yahweh, my daughter: for you hast shewed more kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that you art a virtuous woman.
Boaz performed the part of the nearest kinsman and took Ruth to wife.
Ruth and Boaz are David's grandparents.
The story of Ruth and Boaz is a parable as well as a love story.
It is a Messianic comparison of Israel’s relationship to our Kinsman Redeemer Yahshua Christ.
The whole reason Christ had to die was because our ancestors were married to Yahweh at Sinai. When our Israelite ancestors became a habitual idolatrous race-mixing whore Yahweh divorced them and cast them off from the land and His presence. The Gospel is the fulfillment of the prophecies of Yahweh come in the flesh as Yahshua to die, which nullified His own law of divorce, and cancelled the priesthood and sacrifices because He became our High Priest, mediator and bridegroom. The Gospel is the reconciliation of both houses of Israel and Judah under the Better Covenant, which is the same covenant as the Old, only the priesthood and sacrificial rituals expired.
That is why Yahshua is our Kinsman Redeemer and why He came only for the divorced, or 'lost' sheep of the house of Israel.
That is demonstrating His Grace and Mercy which is His loving-commitment to the people of His promise with Abraham.
Eli the priest thought Hannah was a mumbling drunk.
1Samuel 1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before Yahweh.
1:16 Count not your handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you hast asked of Him.
1:18 And she (Hannah) said, Let your handmaid find grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
1:19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.
1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Yahweh.
Samuel means heard, or asked of Yahweh.
Hannah prayed for a child and she would dedicate him to Yahweh.
Chapter 2 begins with Hannah praying and rejoicing in Yahweh and praises Him with factual descriptions.
2:9 He will keep the feet of His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones), and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
H2623 chasiyd is holy ones, godly, saints, lovingly-commited ones, merciful ones.
Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
A saint is a lovingly-commited son of Jacob who loves his kinsmen and his Elohiym.
1Samuel 2:26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour (H2896- good, pleasant, agreeable) both with Yahweh, and also with men.
1Samuel 15:2 Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy (devote to destruction) all that they have, and spare (H2550- pity) them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
15:4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered (mustered) them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
15:5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
15:6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness (H2617- merciful-kindness) to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
The word Kenite has two designations.
This usage is for metal smiths. Not necessarily sons of Cain.
The other usage are the Kenites that are the sons of Cain. The Kenites were eventually mixed in with the other cursed Canaanite tribes which included Canaan's incestual children as well as the various tribes of giants and fallen angels.
15:7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until you comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
15:8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed (devoted to destruction) all the people with the edge of the sword.
15:9 But Saul and the people spared (H2550) Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them (not devote them to destruction): but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly (devoted to destruction).
15:13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be you of Yahweh: I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.
15:14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15:15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared (H2550) the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Yahweh your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed (devoted to destruction).
15:22 And Samuel said, Hath Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you hast rejected the word of Yahweh, He hath also rejected you from being king.
Saul was chosen and anointed by Yahweh to be king of Israel, but Saul's repeated failure to obey instructions removed him from kingship and favor with Yahweh.
He was to not spare anything because it was all devoted to destruction.
1Samuel 16:22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me; for he hath found favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in my sight.
16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Chapter 20 is about best friends David and Jonathan. Saul knew that if David lives, Jonathan would not be king.
1Samuel 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Your father certainly knoweth that I have found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Yahweh liveth, and as your soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
20:12 And Jonathan said unto David, O Yahweh God of Israel, (be witness) when I search out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto you, and shew it you;
20:13 (so let) Yahweh do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will shew it you, and send you away, that you mayest go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as He hath been with my father.
20:14 And you shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness (H2617- merciful-kindness) of Yahweh, that I die not:
20:15 But also you shalt not cut off your kindness (H2617- merciful-kindness) from my house for ever: no, not when Yahweh hath cut off the (hated) enemies of David every one from the face of the earth (ground).
20:28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
20:29 And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
David avoided Saul because Saul wanted to kill David. David gave Jonathan, Saul's son this message. David was asking for kindness to allow him to take leave.
In chapter 24 David spares Saul when he had the chance to kill him.
1Samuel 24:6 And he said unto his men, Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, Yahweh's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of Yahweh.
24:7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
24:8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth (ground), and bowed himself.
24:9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest you men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh your hurt?
24:10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that Yahweh had delivered you to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill you: but mine eye spared (H2347- had compassion on, pardoned) you; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is Yahweh's anointed.
24:11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and killed you not, know you and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against you; yet you huntest my soul to take it.
David was still avoiding Saul at this point. David sent his men to ask Nabal for some food and water and wanted him to know that his men did not hurt Nabal's sheep shearers.
1Samuel 25:8 Ask your young men, and they will shew you. Wherefore let the young men find favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in your eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray you, whatsoever cometh to your hand unto your servants, and to your son David.
1Samuel 27:5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?
David was still avoiding Saul and was asking for kindness from Achish to dwell in Gath.
1Samuel 29:6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as Yahweh liveth, you hast been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour (H2896- agree with) you not (But in the eyes of the princes you are not good).
29:7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
David offered to help Achish fight his enemies, but the other lords of the Philistines did not favor the idea.
2Samuel 2:1 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Yahweh said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And He said, Unto Hebron.
2:4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
2:5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Yahweh, that ye have shewed this kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
2:6 And now Yahweh shew kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness (H2896- good deed), because ye have done this thing.
2Samuel 7:12 And when your days be fulfilled, and you shalt sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. Solomon
7:13 He shall build an house for My name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be My son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men (ish), and with the stripes of the children of men (Adam):
7:15 But My mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
2Samuel 9:1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) for Jonathan's sake? (1Sa 20:15-17)
9:2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art you Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
9:3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
9:6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
9:7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew you kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shalt eat bread at my table continually.
2Samuel 10:1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
10:2 Then said David, I will shew kindness (H2617- merciful-kindness) unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness (H2617- merciful-kindness) unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Hanun had bad counselors. They had said that David was up to no good, and his men were to spy out the land, so they shaved half their beards and cut holes in the privy parts of their garments and sent them back to David. David sent Joab to kick their butts.
The parable of the poor man's lamb
David repents
2Samuel 12:1 And Yahweh sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. (Psalm 51)
12:2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
12:3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
12:4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared (H2550- refused) (did not want) to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
12:5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Yahweh liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity (H2550- compassion).
The 'rich man' did not want to spare, or favor, taking any of his own herd, so he took the only lamb the traveller had rather than having compassion to spare, or favor, to take one from his own flock.
David did not have compassion for Uriah because his desire for Uriah's wife caused David to sin. Yahweh punished David by taking the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David.
12:22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious (H2603- be merciful) to me, that the child may live?
12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
Joab tried to get a woman to act as a woman in mourning and put words in her mouth to speak to David, Her story was about one son slaying another. The idea was to get Absolom, David's son to return.
2Samuel 14:21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day your servant knoweth that I have found grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
2Samuel 15:25 And the king (David) said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in the eyes of Yahweh, He will bring me again, and shew me both it, and His habitation:
15:26 But if He thus say, I have no delight in you; behold, here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him.
2Samuel 22:26 With the merciful (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) You wilt shew Thyself merciful (H2616- lovingly-commited), and with the upright man You wilt shew Thyself upright.
22:27 With the pure You wilt shew Thyself pure; and with the froward (crooked) You wilt shew Thyself unsavoury (twisted).
22:51 He is the tower of salvation for His king: and sheweth mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) to His anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
Yahweh is lovingly-commited to His people and keeps His promise to Abraham's seed for evermore.
Satan stirred up David to number Israel.
2Samuel 24:10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto Yahweh, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech You, O Yahweh, take away the iniquity of Your servant; for I have done very foolishly.
24:11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
24:12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith Yahweh, I offer you three things; choose you one of them, that I may do it unto you.
24:13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto you in your land? or wilt you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? or that there be three days' pestilence in your land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to Him that sent me.
24:14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait (distress): let us fall now into the hand of Yahweh; for His mercies (H7356- compassions) are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
In the books of Samuel we see that Grace is favor which Hannah asks of Yahweh for a child. Samuel finds favor with Yahweh. David finds favor in enemy territory while protecting his family.
Mercy is shown as merciful-kindness between David and Jonathan's house.
David shows compassion and mercy to Saul.
The cursed seedline tribes to be destroyed are to be shown no mercy or pity. To spare not anything which Yahweh said not to spare.
That saints are defined as lovingly-commited ones, and merciful.
Yahweh is an Elohiym of Mercy and He wants His children to be merciful as He is.
1Kings 2:1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2:2 I go the way of all the earth (land): be you strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
2:3 And keep the charge of Yahweh your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you mayest prosper in all that you doest, and whithersoever you turnest thyself:
2:4 That Yahweh may continue His word which He spake concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
2:5 Moreover you knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
2:6 Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
2:7 But shew kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at your table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom your brother.
1Kings 3:5 In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give you.
3:6 And Solomon said, You hast shewed unto Your servant David my father great mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), according as he walked before You in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; and You hast kept for him this great kindness (H2617- loving-commitment), that You hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
3:9 Give therefore Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this Your so great a people?
3:10 And the speech pleased Yahweh, that Solomon had asked this thing.
The two women, one's child died and one lived. But who's was who's? Solomon's first act of wisdom.
3:24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels (H7356- compassion) yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor your, but divide it.
3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her (the real mother) the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared (were in awe of) the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
Solomon's Temple prayer.
1Kings 8:22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven (the sky):
8:23 And he said, Yahweh God of Israel, there is no God like You, in heaven (the sky) above, or on earth (the land) beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) with Your servants that walk before You with all their heart:
8:24 Who hast kept with Your servant David my father that You promisedst him: You spakest also with Your mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.
8:28 Yet have You respect unto the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication (H8467- petition for favor), O Yahweh my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which Your servant prayeth before You to day:
Supplication is techinnah H8467 which means petition (for favor).
8:29 That Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which You hast said, My name shall be there: that You mayest hearken unto the prayer which Your servant shall make toward this place.
8:30 And hearken You to the supplication (H8467- petition for favor) of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear You in heaven Your dwelling place: and when You hearest, forgive.
Petition, and supplication are forms of grace.
8:33 When Your people Israel be smitten down before the (hated) enemy, because they have sinned against You, and shall turn again to You, and confess (acknowledge) Your name, and pray, and make supplication (H2603- seek supplication) unto You in this house:
8:34 Then hear You in heaven (the sky), and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which You gavest unto their (fore) fathers.
8:38 What prayer and supplication (H8467- petition for favor) soever be made by any man, or by all Your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
8:39 Then hear You in heaven (the sky) Your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart You knowest; (for You, even You only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men (awdawm);)
8:40 That they may fear (revere) You all the days that they live in the land which You gavest unto our (fore) fathers.
H8467 is a noun and means supplication for favor.
H2603 is a verb and means to seek supplication for favor.
8:44 If Your people go out to battle against their (hated) enemy, whithersoever You shalt send them, and shall pray unto Yahweh toward the city which You hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for Your name:
8:45 Then hear You in heaven (the sky) their prayer and their supplication (H8467- petition for favor), and maintain their cause.
8:46 If they sin against You, (for there is no man (Adam) that sinneth not,) and You be angry with them, and deliver them to the (hated) enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the (hated) enemy, far or near;
8:47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent (turn back), and make supplication (H2603) unto You in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
8:48 And so return unto You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their (hated) enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto You toward their land, which You gavest unto their (fore) fathers, the city which You hast chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name:
8:49 Then hear You their prayer and their supplication (H8467- petition for favor) in heaven (the sky) Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
8:50 And forgive Your people that have sinned against You, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against You, and give them compassion (H7356) before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion (H7355- mercy) on them:
H7356 is a noun. H7355 is a verb.
8:51 For they be Your people, and Your inheritance, which You broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
8:52 That Your eyes may be open unto the supplication (H8467- petition for favor) of Your servant, and unto the supplication (H8467- petition for favor) of Your people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto You.
8:54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication (H8467- petition for favor) unto Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven (the sky).
8:59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication (H2603- for favor) before Yahweh, be nigh unto Yahweh our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
8:60 That all the people of the earth (land) may know that Yahweh is God, and that there is none else.
8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.
1Kings 9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yahweh, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
9:2 That Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
9:3 And Yahweh said unto him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication (H8467- petition for favor), that you hast made before Me: I have hallowed this house, which you hast built, to put My name there for ever; and Mine eyes and Mine heart shall be there perpetually.
The above verses in 1Kings were part of the word graciousness, which also includes, petition.
Supplication for favor.
All these supplications are connected to if's and then's, meaning there must be obedience involved.
When Solomon took many racial alien wives and went after other gods, he removed himself from Yahweh's grace and favor.
1Kings 11:14 And Yahweh stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
11:19 And Hadad found great favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
This is about the time when the Hamites (Egyptians) started mixing with Canaanites and Edomites, the end of white Egypt. Yahweh foretells of the end of the once great white nation of Egypt in Jeremiah. They were pagans and began race mixing into what they are now today.
In addition to Hadad the Edomite Jew, Yahweh also sent Rezon, an Aramite Syrian against Solomon. And Yahweh also rent the nation of Israel into two by giving Jeroboam rule over the northern 10 tribes, and left Solomon with the 2 tribed southern kingdom of Judah.
You can fall from grace.
Notice that Yahweh did not personally show favor to those outside of His people Israel.
When our people sin and stray from Yahweh, He removes us from His favor and as a result, our enemies have opportunity to rise and are used to punish us.
Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour and industrious, and was ruler over the forced labor of the house of Jacob. Jeroboam strayed from Yahweh and set up pagan altars in Dan and Bethel and made the lowest of people priests of the high places, and caused Israel to follow.
1Kings 14:15 For Yahweh shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken (H5110) in the water, and He shall root up Israel out of this good land, which He gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves (Asherah poles), provoking Yahweh to anger.
Groves is H842, asherah. Carved poles set up near an altar to the goddess Astarte. Where we get Easter from, which has nothing to do with Christ.
This is a prophecy of the scattering of the tribes. The divorce of Israel.
Shaken, H5110 is nud (nood) and means to cause to wander aimlessly. To show grief, make to move, and to have compassion on. It's also a related word to H5113 nod, which means wandering, or exile. Cain was removed from the presence of Yahweh and became a wanderer, an international Jew.
The difference is that Israel was regathered and reconciled, shown grace and mercy, where Cain and his Jewish children are devoted to destruction.
2Kings 13:22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
13:23 And Yahweh was gracious (H2603- showed favor) unto them, and had compassion (H7355- deep compassion) on them, and had respect unto them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast He them from His presence as yet.
The promises made to Abraham override the penalty of sin which is death, which we deserve. Not only does Yahweh preserve the righteous from each tribe, He also has deep compassion and loving-commitment to His children who love Him.
2Kings 21:8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move (H5110) any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.
21:9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
Proverbs 29:12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
21:10 And Yahweh spake by His servants the prophets, saying,
21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
21:12 Therefore thus saith Yahweh God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
H5110 nud is used again.
Israel would probably still be in the land of their forefathers if they continued to obey Yahweh, but because they did not, they were not allowed to remain in the land promised to them. Which is why they were divorced and cast off from the presence of Yahweh and from their land and made to wander. But part of the definition is to have compassion on, which Yahweh has towards His children, and because of the covenant with Abraham He will always show favor and mercy by His loving-commitment to those who show Him loving-commitment.
America is the regathering place of all twelve tribes and there is no place else to move to when we sin. Yahweh has already removed Himself from our country because of our idolatry and race-mixing, but He still shows grace and mercy to His lovingly-commited ones within this now satanic corporation called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
There will be no more moving. This is the last age. The next move is checkmate, and will be the return of our Kinsman Redeemer.
In the books of the Kings, Grace is kindness shown to those who show kindness.
The woman with the living child had compassion, or mercy, for her son and would rather he live with the woman who's son died, than be cut in two.
Solomon acknowledges that Mercy and Grace is shown by the loving-commitment of Yahweh to those who follow Him.
Chapter 16 is David's psalm of thanks.
1Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for He is good; for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
1Chronicles 17:13 (Yahweh speaking to David about Solomon) I will be his father, and he shall be My son: and I will not take My mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) away from him, as I took it from him (Saul) that was before you:
17:14 But I will settle him in Mine house and in My kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
Mercy can be removed, just ask Saul.
Chapter 5 is the furnishing of the Temple
2Chronicles 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised Yahweh, saying, For He is good; for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh;
5:14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh had filled the house of God.
2Chronicles 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven (the sky), and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
7:2 And the priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, because the glory of Yahweh had filled Yahweh's house.
7:3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised Yahweh, saying, For He is good; for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
When the children of Moab and Ammon came against Jehoshaphat he besought, or pleaded for favor, from Yahweh. And Yahweh said...
2Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation (deliverance) of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for Yahweh will be with you.
20:18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh.
20:19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise Yahweh God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe (Trust) in Yahweh your God, so shall you be established; believe (trust) His prophets, so shall you prosper.
20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto Yahweh, and that should praise the beauty (majesty) of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise Yahweh; for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
Chapter 24 is about Joash restoring the Temple. Jehoiada was the priest and when he died, Joash and the officers of Judah departed from Yahweh.
2Chronicles 24:18 And they left the house of Yahweh God of their (fore)fathers, and served groves (poles of Asherah) and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
24:19 Yet He (Yahweh) sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
24:20 And the Spirit of God came upon (clothed Itself with) Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress you the commandments of Yahweh, that you cannot prosper? because you have forsaken Yahweh, He hath also forsaken you.
24:21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh.
24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Yahweh look upon it, and require it.
Yahweh sent the Syrians to execute judgment against Judah and Joash's own servants slew him.
This is just another example that although Yahweh is merciful and gracious, when you go against Him He will withdraw His mercy and grace.
There is no such thing as 'onced saved, always saved'.
The Temple had been defiled and the doors shut.
Because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and because the people had not gathered yet to Jerusalem for the feast, Hezekiah made a make-up date to keep the passover.
2Chronicles 30:5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Yahweh God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
30:6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes (officers) throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, (re)turn again unto Yahweh God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
30:7 And be not you like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against Yahweh God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as you see.
30:8 Now be you not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto Yahweh, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever: and serve Yahweh your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.
30:9 For if you (re)turn again unto Yahweh, your brethren and your children shall find compassion (H7356- deep compassion) before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for Yahweh your God is gracious (H2587- merciful) and merciful (H7349- compassionate), and will not turn away His face from you, if you return unto Him.
Merciful and compassionate are adjectives describing Yahweh.
Manasseh was an evil king, but later returned to Yahweh.
2Chronicles 33:10 And Yahweh spake to Manasseh, and to His people: but they would not hearken.
33:11 Wherefore Yahweh brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
33:13 And prayed unto Him: and He was intreated of him, and heard his supplication (H8467- petition for favor), and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh He was God.
Manasseh O Yahweh, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed; who hast made the sky and the land, with all the ornament thereof; who hast bound the sea by the word of Your commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by Your terrible and glorious name; whom all men fear, and tremble before Your power; for the majesty of Your glory cannot be borne, and Your angry threatening toward sinners is importable: but Your merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable; for You art the Most High, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. You, O Yahweh, according to Your great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against You: and of Your infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.
You therefore, O Yahweh, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against You; but You hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner: for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Yahweh, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of the sky for the multitude of mine iniquities.
I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked Your wrath, and done evil before You: I did not Your will, neither kept I Your commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.
Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching You of grace (favor).
I have sinned, O Yahweh, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, I humbly beseech You, forgive me, O Yahweh, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For You art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me You wilt shew all Your goodness: for You wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to Your great mercy (loving-commitment).
Therefore I will praise You for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the skies do praise You, and Your is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2Chronicles 36:11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
36:12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh.
36:13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto Yahweh God of Israel.
36:14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen (nations); and polluted the house of Yahweh which He had hallowed in Jerusalem.
36:15 And Yahweh God of their fathers sent to them by His messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because He had compassion on (H2550- spared) His people, and on His dwelling place:
36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against His people, till there was no remedy.
Today's Judeo-Christians and “churches” mock God and despise His words. They discard the Old Testament and teach the law was “done away with”. And they worship a Jewish Jesus.
36:17 Therefore He brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon (H2550- spared not) young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: He gave them all into his hand.
Grace in the Chronicles is being merciful and mercifulness is showing compassion.
Mercy is Yahweh showing loving-commitment to His people because of His promise to Abraham, which endures forever.
Mercy is also compassion which spares from destruction.
Mercy is also removed which does not spare one from destruction when they deserve it!
In the 6 books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, Grace and Mercy from Yahweh were shown exclusively to the children of Jacob.
In the Chronicles, during the closing days of the Kings, Yahweh's people mocked the prophets and messengers.
Yahweh revealed to Jeremiah that the house of Judah would suffer a pre-determined period of 70 years captivity. In captivity, Daniel read this prophecy of Jeremiah and realized it was coming to an end. He opened his windows towards Jerusalem and prayed that Yahweh would forgive and restore His people.
The Israelites became idolatrous race-mixers and Yahweh divorced them. He punished them by using the Assyrians and Babylonians to execute His judgment upon them.
They were taken captive and were told to accept this punishment and they would be preserved through it.
If it were not for the promise made to Abraham and his seed through Isaac and Jacob, our ancestors would have been destroyed for their transgressions. The penalty of sin is death. That's why Yahweh is so great. Because He is a lovingly-commited, compassionate and merciful Elohiym, He provided Grace and Mercy for our mortal preservation, and His son Yahshua for our eternal salvation.
There is nothing we can do to receive grace, it's a free gift, and comes from the promises made to Abraham. But we can reject grace by being willfully ignorant and disobedient.
Grace is something we do not deserve, but can receive.
Mercy is compassion, or loving-commitment, and is not getting something we deserve, like punishment or death. Of course, we must return to Yahweh, repent and change our ways if we want mercy. Same thing with grace.
Habitual and willful sinners will not receive grace or mercy.
When the Babylonian empire fell to the Medo-Persians, Koresh (Cyrus) was King of Persia. It is evident that Koresh was an Adamite, likely a Shemite, and possibly an Israelite, hence anointed. Koresh was a Yahweh worshiper.
Isaiah 44:28 and 45:1 record Yahweh speaking of Koresh as His shepherd, His anointed, raised in righteousness, and that he shall order the rebuilding of Jerusalem and freeing of the captives.
Zerubbabel was the reigning Judahite and was the grandson of Jehoiachin, a descendant of David and in the direct line of the ancestry of Yahshua.
It was Zerubbabel, Nehemiah and Ezra that led the return and the rebuilding.
Ezra 3:10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
3:11 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto Yahweh; because He is good, for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid.
Tobit 14:5 And that again God will have mercy on them (loving-commitment), and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
The last clause is referring to the New Jerusalem, the house of Elohiym forever, which is His people and the reign of the heavens here on earth.
14:6 And all nations shall turn, and fear Yahweh God truly, and shall bury their idols.
14:7 So shall all nations praise Yahweh, and His people shall confess God, and Yahweh shall exalt His people; and all those which love Yahweh God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
In chapter 7 verses 11-26 is a record of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra of the words of the commandments of Yahweh, and of His statutes to Israel.
It is also evident that Artaxerxes was also an Adamite.
The letter included the blessings of the king and anything needed of his treasures. That the priests use the money to buy meat, grain and drink offerings and offer them to Yahweh. To rule and judge the people by the wisdom and commands of Yahweh, to teach Yahweh's laws, and to execute judgment on those who do not the law of Yahweh.
Ezra 7:27 Blessed be Yahweh God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem:
7:28 And hath extended mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of Yahweh my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Artaxerxes was a righteous man.
The book of Ezra is clear about Yahweh's laws of race-mixing. Idolatry and race-mixing was the major crime of ancient Israel, as is our people today as well. Even after the punishment and captivity for this very thing, and being shown favor by their return to Jerusalem, the people and priests were still race-mixing, and it drove Ezra crazy, he even pulled out his beard because of it.
Ezra 9:5 And at the evening sacrifice (grain offering) I arose up from my heaviness (fasting); and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto Yahweh my God,
9:6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to You, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens (skies).
White people are known to blush. The definition of Adam includes the verb 'to blush'.
Have you ever seen a Jew blush?
9:7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass (guilt) unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
The phrase, “confusion of face”, in the context, which is the abomination of race mixing, is when one race mixes, the offspring has not the familiar face. Hence, mixed, polluted, a broken cistern.
9:8 And now for a little space grace (H8467- favor) hath been shewed from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
A “nail in His holy place”, a leader who will bring stability to His people.
Hebrews 6:19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Speaking of Yahshua Messiah.
9:9 For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
The Septuagint has: 'And now our Elohiym has dealt mercifully with us,...'.
Grace is not a free ride. Israel seems to fall in and out of grace often. Verse 8 not only says “for a little space”, but also “lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage”. Grace comes with doing our part to receive it. He is not going to show favor to a habitual sinner, or one that sins in ignorance.
In Ezra, Yahweh keeps His promises. He shows His Mercy and loving-commitment to Israel. By His Grace He preserved His lovingly-commited ones in their captivity.
Nehemiah received word that the few remaining Judahites that were left of the captivity were in great affliction and the wall of Jerusalem and gates were broken down.
Nehemiah 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven (the sky),
1:5 And said, I beseech You, O Yahweh God of heaven (the sky), the great and terrible (revered) God, that keepeth covenant and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) for them that love Him and observe His commandments:
1:6 Let Your ear now be attentive, and Your eyes open, that You mayest hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against You: both I and my father's house have sinned (to miss the mark of duty).
The promises made to Abraham, the covenant, and mercy are all connected and is the loving-commitment of Yahweh that is accessed by them that LOVE HIM AND OBSERVE HIS COMMANDEMENTS. Isn't that what John 14:15 says? Yup.
1:11 O Yahweh, I beseech You, let now Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants, who desire to fear (reverence) Your name: and prosper, I pray You, Your servant this day, and grant him mercy (H7356- compassion) in the sight of this man (King Artaxerxes). For I was the king's cupbearer.
Nehemiah was in Persia (Babylon) and was praying that Yahweh hears his prayers for his people.
Nehemiah 2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if your servant have found favour (H3190- is pleasing, acceptance) in your sight, that you wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
This word comes from yatab, H3190, meaning pleasing, favor, kindness or acceptance.
As we saw in Ezra, both King Koresh and King Artaxerxes were righteous men and supported the remnant that returned to rebuild.
In the 24th day of the month of Ethinim, a couple days after the Feast of Tabernacles, the Israelites were confessing their sins, reading the Torah, and worshipped Yahweh.
Some of the Levites stood up and blessed Yahweh and praised His works.
They acknowledged that He did choose Abraham whom He made a covenant with him and his seed after him and kept His word. He has repeatedly shown His loving-commitment to the children of Jacob.
Nehemiah 9:16 But they and our (fore) fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to Your commandments,
9:17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of Your wonders that You didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but You art a God ready to pardon, gracious (H2587) and merciful (H7349- compassionate), slow to anger, and of great kindness (H2617- loving-commitment), and forsookest them not.
9:18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations (blasphemy); (Ex 32:4)
9:19 Yet You in Your manifold mercies (H7356- deep compassions) forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
9:26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against You, and cast Your law behind their backs, and slew Your prophets which testified against them to turn them to You, and they wrought great provocations (blasphemies). (Wis 2:10-20)
9:27 Therefore You deliveredst them into the hand of their (hated) enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto You, You heardest them from heaven (the sky); and according to Your manifold mercies (H7356- deep compassions) You gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
9:28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before You: therefore leftest You them in the hand of their (hated) enemies (Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia), so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto You, You heardest them from heaven (the sky); and many times didst You deliver them according to Your mercies (H7356- deep compassions);
9:29 And testifiedst against them, that You mightest bring them again unto Your law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto Your commandments, but sinned against Your judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder (gave a stubborn shoulder), and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Leviticus 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.
9:30 Yet many years didst You forbear them, and testifiedst against them by Your spirit in Your prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest You them into the hand of the people of the lands. (2Ki 17:13; 2Chr 36:15; Jer 7:25)
9:31 Nevertheless for Your great mercies' (H7356- deep compassion's) sake You didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for You art a gracious (H2587) and merciful (H7349- compassionate) God.
9:32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible (revered) God, who keepest covenant and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), let not all the trouble seem little before You, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes (officers), and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our (fore) fathers, and on all Your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
9:33 Howbeit You art just in all that is brought upon us; for You hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
The unrighteous Israelites got what they deserved. Many of them did not receive grace or mercy.
The lovingly-commited ones, the true saints and righteous Israelites were preserved by favor because of the covenant with Abraham and the mercy, or loving-commitment, of Yahweh for His children.
Nehemiah 13:19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
The new day began at 6pm (sundown). Hence, “began to be dark before the sabbath”. Dark before light.
13:20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware (merchandise) lodged without (outside) Jerusalem once or twice.
13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge you about the wall? if you do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
Jerusalem was along a trade route. The merchants, usually sheeny Jews, would try to sell on the Sabbath. When that was stopped by Nehemiah, they would camp outside the city and this became a distraction for the sabbath. So Nehemiah told them to scram or else.
13:22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare (H2347- pardon) me according to the greatness of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
2Esdras 15:22 "My right hand will not spare the sinners, and My sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth."
23 And a fire will go forth from His wrath, and will consume the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like straw that is kindled.
24 "Woe to those who sin and do not observe My commandments," says Yahweh;
25 "I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute My sanctuary."
Tobit was a righteous Israelite of the tribe of Naphtali during the time of Shalmanesser King of Assyria.
He went to Jerusalem for the feasts and offered a tenth of the increase of the firstfruits.
Tobit 1:9 Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.
1:10 And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread (food) of the Gentiles (nations).
1:11 But I kept myself from eating (unclean animals, pork);
1:12 Because I remembered God with all my heart.
1:13 And the most High gave me grace (favor) and favour (delight, pleasure) before Enemessar (Shalmanesser), so that I was his purveyor (buyer of provisions).
Continue to obey Yahweh's laws, even in captivity, and be rewarded and favored as was Joseph and Daniel and Nehemiah.
Tobit 3:2 O Yahweh, You art just (righteous), and all Your works and all Your ways are mercy (loving-commitment) and truth, and You judgest truly and justly for ever.
Tobias was to be wed to a woman which a demon protected. This demon killed 7 previous husbands-to-be. Tobias was also a righteous man and Yahweh sent Raphael His messenger to bind the demon when Tobias followed certain instructions. It worked.
Tobit 8:4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity (compassion) on us.
8:5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art You, O God of our fathers, and blessed is Your holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens (skies) bless You, and all Your creatures (creations).
They consumated the marriage. But the family feared they both may have been dead. When they sent one of the maids, she found them both asleep and told it to the woman's father and he said...
8:16 You art to be praised, for You hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but You hast dealt with us according to Your great mercy (deep compassion).
8:17 You art to be praised because You hast had mercy (compassion) of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy (favor), O Yahweh, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy (favor).
Raphael had more instructions for Tobias to follow in order for his father to see again. And again it worked.
Tobit 11:16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, (walking along in full vigor and with no one leading him) because he had received his sight.
11:17 But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy (compassion) on him (and had restored his sight). And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, (Come in now to your home, and welcome, with blessing and joy.) You art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought you unto us, and blessed be your father and your mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
Tobit 12:6 Then he (Raphael) took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise Him, and magnify Him, and praise Him for the things which He hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt His name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise Him.
12:7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
12:8 Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
12:9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:
12:10 But they that sin are enemies to their own life.
12:11 Surely I will keep close (conceal) nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.
12:12 Now therefore, when you didst pray, and Sara your daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when you didst bury the dead, I was with you likewise.
12:13 And when you didst not delay to rise up, and leave your dinner, to go and cover the dead, your good deed was not hid from me: but I was with you.
12:14 And now God hath sent me to heal you and Sara your daughter in law.
12:15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels (messengers), which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy (Set Apart) One.
12:16 Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
12:17 But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
12:18 For not of any favour (grace) of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise Him for ever.
Tobit 13:1 Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be His kingdom.
13:2 For He doth scourge, and hath mercy (compassion): He leadeth down to hell (the grave, land of the dead), and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid His hand.
13:5 And He will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy (compassion) again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom He hath scattered us.
13:6 If you turn to Him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before Him, then will He turn unto you, and will not hide His face from you. Therefore see what He will do with you, and confess Him with your whole mouth, and praise Yahweh of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise Him, and declare His might and majesty to a sinful nation. O you sinners, turn and do justice before Him: who can tell if He will accept you, and have mercy (compassion) on you?
13:9 O Jerusalem, the holy city, He will scourge you for your children's works, and will have mercy (compassion) again on the sons of the righteous.
The time of Judith was during the Assyrian empire and the army had exhausted the water supply. The people gave in and wanted to surrender.
Judith 7:30 Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space Yahweh our God may turn His mercy (compassion) toward us; for He will not forsake us utterly.
7:31 And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I will do according to your word.
8:9 Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;
8:10 Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients (elders) of the city.
8:11 And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O you governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that you have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which you made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days Yahweh turn to help you.
8:12 And now who are you that have tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?
8:13 And now try Yahweh Almighty, but you shall never know (learn) any thing.
8:16 Do not bind the counsels of Yahweh our God: for God is not as man, that He may be threatened; neither is He as the son of man, that He should be wavering.
8:17 Therefore let us wait for salvation of Him, and call upon Him to help us, and He will hear our voice, if it please Him.
8:24 Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew an example to our brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and the sanctuary, and the house, and the altar, rest upon us.
8:25 Moreover (in spite of everything) let us give thanks to Yahweh our God, which trieth us, even as He did our fathers.
8:28 Then said Ozias to her, All that you hast spoken hast you spoken with a good (true) heart, and there is none that may gainsay (deny) your words.
8:29 For this is not the first day wherein your wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of your days all the people have known your understanding, because the disposition of your heart is good (right).
8:30 But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath upon ourselves, which we will not break.
8:31 Therefore now pray you for us, because you art a godly woman, and Yahweh will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more (from thirst).
8:32 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to the children of our nation.
Chapter 9 is Judith's prayer to Yahweh. Judith had a plan.
10:8 The God, the God of our fathers give you favour, and accomplish your enterprizes to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they worshipped God.
Judith was an Israelite woman that walked in The Way and performed a very courageous act to preserve and deliver her people from an Assyrian seige. You will have to read this short book of Judith to find out what happened.
13:14 Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for He hath not taken away His mercy (loving-commitment) from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.
In the books of Tobit and Judith we see that Grace and Mercy are shown to righteous Israelites that follow and obey Yahweh.
Esther 2:8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
2:9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
2:16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus (Artaxerxes) into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) and favour (H2617- loving-commitment) in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Esther had not yet made known her relatives and kindred.
Esther was Mordecai's uncle's daughter. They were Israelites of the tribe of Judah, Judahites.
Mordecai had saved the king's life by revealing the plot against him.
Haman was a descendant of Agag, of the Amalekites. A Canaanite Jew.
The king had promoted this crafty Jew Haman and commanded all the king's servants bow to Haman. Mordecai did not. Being an Israelite Mordecai refused to bow to a Canaanite Jew and Haman despised him for it. Haman devised a plan to holocaust the Judahites.
3:8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus (Artaxerxes), There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them (to let them remain). (Wis 2:14-15)
These certain dispersed people were Israelites. When the Assyrians rose to power, they were part of Yahweh's punishment upon disobedient Israel. The Israelites were taken captive and relocated throughout the coastlands. These 'certain people' are some of the scattered “lost sheep”. Kindred of Mordecai. Haman, a Jew, was hellbent on genociding the white race then, just as Haman's Jewish kindred today are hellbent on genociding our race today.
3:9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
3:13 And the letters were sent by posts (runners) into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Judahites, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Haman, the Agagite Jew, ordered the killing of Israelites (Judahites). The Jews have done this throughout history, bribing authorities and agitating the murder of our people.
When Mordecai perceived what was done he told the king's chamberlain.
4:8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto (H2603- to intreat for favor of) him, and to make request before him for her people.
Interesting the Septuagint has more than the KJperVersion in this verse.
Septuagint: 4:8 And he gave him the copy of the writing that was published in Susa (Shushan) concerning their destruction, to shew to Esther; and told him to charge her to go in and intreat the king, and to beg him for the people, remembering, said he, the days of your low estate, how you wert nursed by my hand: because Aman (Haman) who holds the next place to the king has spoken against us for death. Call you upon Yahweh, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.
The following verses Esther commands Mordecai to gather the Judahites in Shushan and fast, which is part of supplication for Yahweh to show favor. Mordecai also besought and prayed to Yahweh, glorifying and calling upon Him, as did Esther in her quarters.
Esther 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
5:8 If I have found favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
Haman's Jewish head swelled and boasted to his friends and family of his promotions and advancements. His sheeny wife said to make gallows fify cubits high to hang Mordecai on.
Haman thought he was going to be honored and recommended to the king, not knowing it was to honor Mordecai. The king then ordered Haman to do as he said, and he covered his head in mourning.
When Haman was brought to the feast...
7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
7:4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus (Artaxerxes) answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Haman was hung on the gallows made for Mordecai.
8:3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought (H2603- sought favor of) him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Judahites.
8:4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
8:5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour (H2580- grace, acceptance) in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite (Jew), which he wrote to destroy the Judahites which are in all the king's provinces:
8:6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
In Esther we see Grace being used as favor, acceptance, seeking favor.
Esther demonstrates the mode of operation of the Jew and how they quickly rise to positions of authority, blur the lines of the facts, agitate and instigate, enact and enforce crazy laws, and plain try to genocide our race while they play the victim.
Job is being tried. He doesn't know that Satan is orchestrating the events and is kind of blaming Yahweh for it. Job has some dross that he doesn't know is there, but Yahweh does. Job is wondering why Yahweh doesn't just judge him, or even kill him, which is what he wants at this point.
Job 6:8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
Referring to Job wanting to just die.
6:9 That is that God would please destroy me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would rejoice in pain: though not spared (H2550); for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity (H2617) should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Septuagint reads: 'Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of Yahweh has disregarded me.
Geneva reads: 'He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.'
The Scriptures reads: 'To him who is afflicted: loving-commitment, even the one leaving the fear of the Almighty.
H2617 chesed is usually translated as mercy or kindness. The more accurate meaning, as is being demonstrated in this study thus far, is loving-commitment.
Job 8:5 (Bildad speaks) If you wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make your supplication (H2603- plead for mercy) to the Almighty;
8:6 If you wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
Job 9:13 If God will not withdraw His anger, the proud helpers do stoop under Him.
9:14 How much less shall I answer Him, and choose out my words to reason with Him?
9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication (H2603- intreat) to my judge (to Yahweh for Job's judgment).
9:16 If I had called, and He had answered me; yet would I not believe (be sure) that He had hearkened unto my voice.
9:17 For He breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job is partially right that it is done without cause, but not really. He is being tried by fire to remove the dross he did not know was there. But Yahweh knew it was there.
9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
Job is blaming Yahweh for what the devil has done to him.
Job is asking for judgment and still does not know why he is being tried. He reminds Yahweh of how righteous he is and is questioning why he is in this misery and not being judged.
Job 10:12 You hast granted me life and favour (H2617- loving-commitment), and Your visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Job is implying that Yahweh is his enemy.
Job 16:13 His archers compass me round about, He cleaveth my reins asunder (splits my kidneys in two), and doth not spare (H2550- pity); He poureth out my gall (bile) upon the ground.
Job 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated (H2603- beg) him with my mouth.
19:17 My breath (or spirit) is strange to my wife, though I intreated (H2603- earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines.) for the children's sake of mine own body.
19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19:20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
19:21 Have pity upon (H2603- Be gracious to) me, have pity upon (H2603- be gracious to) me, O you my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
Not the hand of Yahweh, but the hand of Satan.
Job 33:23 (Elihu speaking) If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man (Adam) his uprightness:
33:24 Then He is gracious (H2603- merciful) unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom (reconciliation or atonement).
The spiritual sacrifice of obedience which shows a man's uprightness.
33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
33:26 He shall pray unto God, and He will be favourable (H7521) unto him: and he shall see His face with joy: for He will render unto man his righteousness (their due).
Job 37:10 (Elihu speaking) By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened (frozen).
37:11 Also by watering He wearieth the thick cloud: He scattereth His bright (lightning) cloud:
37:12 And it is turned round about by His counsels: that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth (land).
37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
The Septuagint ends as 'or if he shall find Him an object for mercy.'
In Job we see intreat and even begging for mercy, or for judgment.
Job is a special example in which Yahweh allowed Satan to try him. Yahweh was also testing Satan, giving him the opportunity to show mercy to Job, but did not. Job was begging Yahweh to be judged and even killed. Job also thought he was more righteous than he really was, which was also why Yahweh tried him.
We all have a little dross.
Even though Job blamed Yahweh for what was happening to him, he never cursed Yahweh.
In the Psalms, Yahweh's favor towards our ancestors is shown when they walk upright, follow His Ways, and live as a set-apart (holy) people. These are the blessings of obedience and the preservation of our lives because of the promises He made with Abraham's seed.
Psalm 4:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth (Stringed Instruments), A Psalm of David. Hear (Answer) me when I call, O God of my righteousness: You hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon (H2603- show favor to) me, and hear (consider) my prayer.
The first hear is anah, answer or respond. The second hear is shama, understand, consider.
4:2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory (honor) into shame (dishonor)? how long will you love vanity (worthlessness), and seek after leasing (falsehood)? Selah.
4:3 But know that Yahweh hath set apart him that is godly (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) for Himself: Yahweh will hear when I call unto Him.
H2623 chasiyd is an adjective. It describes a saint, a lovingly-commited one, godly. It is one that is kind and merciful.
Psalm 5:6 You shalt destroy them that speak leasing (falsehood): Yahweh will abhor the bloody (bloodthirsty) and deceitful man.
5:7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude (abundance) of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment): and in Your fear (in reverence) will I worship (prostrate myself) toward Your holy temple.
5:12 For You, Yahweh, wilt bless the righteous; with favour (H7522) wilt You compass him as with a shield.
Here favour comes from H7522, ratson ratson, meaning delight, pleasure.
Yahweh surrounds the righteous with a shield of favor.
Psalm 6:2 Have mercy (H2603- favor) upon me, O YAHWEH; for I am weak: O YAHWEH, heal me; for my bones are vexed (tremble in fear).
6:3 My soul is also sore vexed (trembling in fear): but You, O YAHWEH, how long?
6:4 Return, O YAHWEH, deliver (strengthen) my soul: oh save me for Your mercies' (H2617- loving-commitment's) sake.
6:9 Yahweh hath heard my supplication (H8467- petition for favor); Yahweh will receive my prayer.
Psalm 9:12 When He maketh inquisition for blood (bloodshed), He remembereth them: He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon (H2603- Show favor to) me, O YAHWEH; consider my trouble (affliction) which I suffer of them that hate me, You that liftest me up from the gates of death:
3Maccabees 5:51 sent up an exceeding great cry entreating Yahweh of all power to reveal Himself, and have mercy (favor) upon those who now lay at the gates of hades.
9:14 That I may shew forth (recount) all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion (metaphor for Jerusalem): I will rejoice in Your salvation.
Psalm 12:1 To the chief Musician upon Sheminith (8 stringed lyre), A Psalm of David. Help, YAHWEH; for the godly (H2623- lovingly-commited) man ceaseth (fails); for the faithful (trustworthy) fail (vanish) from among the children of men (Adam).
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
But it's the effort He is looking for. How lovingly-commited are you?
Psalm 13:5 But I have trusted in Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment); my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
13:6 I will sing unto Yahweh, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 16:8 I have set Yahweh always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh (body) also shall rest (dwell) in hope (security).
16:10 For You wilt not leave my soul in hell (the grave); neither wilt You suffer your Holy One (H2623- Lovingly-commited One) to see corruption (the pit of destruction).
Christ did not rot, His body did not see corruption. Christ was Yahweh's most beloved Son, because He was His most Lovingly-commited One. His example set the bar which we must strive to imitate.
Psalm 18:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of Yahweh, who spake unto Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his (hated) enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love (H7355- love deeply) You, O YAHWEH, my strength.
18:25 With the merciful (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) You wilt shew Yourself merciful (H2616- lovingly-commited); with an upright (blameless) man You wilt shew Yourself upright;
18:50 Great deliverance giveth He to His king; and sheweth mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) to His anointed, to David, and to his seed (offspring) for evermore.
David knew of Yahweh's promise to Abraham, the promise to David regarding the throne, and the promise of the blessings of obedience.
Psalm 21:7 For the king trusteth in Yahweh, and through the mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) of the most High he shall not be moved.
21:8 Your hand shall find out all Your (hated) enemies: Your right hand shall find out those that hate You.
21:9 You shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger (presence): Yahweh shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Those that trust and follow Yahweh shall receive His merciful loving-commitment.
Those that do not trust and hate Him shall find no merciful loving-commitment.
Grace does not cover the unrighteous in 'that day'.
Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of Yahweh for ever.
Psalm 25:4 Shew me Your ways, O YAHWEH; teach me Your paths.
25:5 Lead me in Your truth, and teach me: for You art the God of my salvation; on You do I wait all the day.
25:6 Remember, O YAHWEH, Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) and Your lovingkindnesses (H2617- loving-commitment); for they have been ever of old.
25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) remember You me for Your goodness' sake, O YAHWEH.
25:10 All the paths of Yahweh are mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth unto such as (for those that) keep His covenant and His testimonies.
25:16 Turn You unto me, and have mercy upon (H2603- show favor to) me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
Psalm 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
26:10 In whose hands is mischief (wickedness), and their right hand is full of bribes.
26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem (preserve) me, and be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto me.
Psalm 27:7 Hear, O YAHWEH, when I cry with my voice: have mercy (H2603- show favor) also upon me, and answer me.
Psalm 30:4 Sing unto Yahweh, O you saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.
30:5 For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favour (H7522- delight, desire) is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
30:7 YAHWEH, by Your favour (H7522- delight, good pleasure) You hast made my mountain (of Jerusalem) to stand strong: You didst hide Your face, and I was troubled.
30:8 I cried to You, O YAHWEH; and unto Yahweh I made supplication (H2603- pray, intreat).
30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit (grave)? Shall the dust praise You? shall it declare Your truth (trustworthiness)?
30:10 Hear, O YAHWEH, and have mercy upon (H2603- show favor to) me: YAHWEH, be You my helper.
Psalm 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment): for You hast considered my trouble; You hast known my soul in adversities;
31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the (hated) enemy: You hast set my feet in a large room (broad place).
31:9 Have mercy upon (H2603- Show favor to) me, O YAHWEH, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
31:21 Blessed be Yahweh: for He hath shewed me His marvellous kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) in a strong (besieged) city.
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before Your eyes: nevertheless You heardest the voice of my supplications (earnest prayers) when I cried unto You.
31:23 O love Yahweh, all you His saints (H2623- loving-commited ones): for Yahweh preserveth the faithful (trustworthy ones), and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
We keep seeing in every instance of grace and mercy that the upright doer is rewarded.
Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto You, and mine iniquity have I not hid (concealed). I said, I will confess my transgressions unto (against) Yahweh; and You forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly (H2623- lovingly-commited) pray unto You in a time when You mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in Yahweh, mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall compass him about.
Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment);
33:22 Let Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), O YAHWEH, be upon us, according as we hope in You.
Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour (H2655- delight in) my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let Yahweh be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity (H7965- peace) of His servant.
Here favour is H2655 chaphets, meaning pleased with, or delight in.
When we are righteous, Yahweh is magnified and He has pleasure in the peace and prosperity we receive because of our righteousness.
Psalm 36:5 Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), O YAHWEH, is in the heavens (skies); and Your faithfulness (trustworthiness) reacheth unto the clouds.
Psalm 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy (H2603- favor), and giveth.
37:22 For such as be blessed of (by) Him shall inherit the earth (land); and they that be cursed of (by) Him shall be cut off.
37:26 He is ever merciful (H2603- showing favor), and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
He meaning the righteous man.
37:28 For Yahweh loveth judgment, and forsaketh not His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones); they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psalm 40:10 I have not hid Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness (trustworthiness) and Your salvation: I have not concealed Your lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) and Your truth from the great congregation.
40:11 Withhold not You Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) from me, O YAHWEH: let Your lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) and Your truth continually preserve me.
Psalm 41:4 I said, YAHWEH, be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.
41:10 But You, O YAHWEH, be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them (those lifting up the heel against me).
41:11 By this I know that You favourest (H2654- delight in) me, because mine (hated) enemy doth not triumph over me.
Psalm 43:1 Judge (Vindicate) me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation (H2623- without loving-commitment): O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
We should be praying this as a prayer, because we who are His lovingly-commited ones need to be delivered from our once white Christian Israelite nation which is now a multi-racial ungodly nation of unloving and uncommited ones.
Psalm 44:3 For they (our forefathers) got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You hadst a favour (H7521- delighted) unto (in) them.
This favour is H7521, ratsah, meaning pleased with, affection, delight in.
They must have been following Yahweh's commands at this time.
Yahweh told Abraham He would bless and keep us IF we obey His commandments.
Psalm 45:2 You art fairer than the children of men (Adam): grace (H2580- favor) is poured into your lips: therefore God hath blessed you for ever.
Fair is just one of the many words used to describe the race of Adam. Jews are not fair.
Psalm 50:5 Gather My saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.
Before Christ died, our ancestors made sacrifices for their errors. Today we make spiritual sacrifices, which is performed by demonstrating our loving-commitment to Yahweh, which is exactly what John 14:15 states. If you love Me, keep My commandments. The commandments are part of the covenant.
Going to 'church' for an hour on the sun-god-day is a spiritual sacrifice to a Jewish Jesus and shows loving-commitment to Jews and anti-christ doctrine.
A true saint, a lovingly-commited one, lives daily according to The Way.
Psalm 51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy (H2603- favor) upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment): according unto the multitude of Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) blot out my transgressions.
David sinned greatly by positioning Uriah to be killed so he could take his wife. Yahweh took the child between him and Bathsheba for it. David deserved death. David sincerely repented and Yahweh showed him favor, deep compassion and loving-commitment.
Psalm 52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) of God for ever and ever.
52:9 I will praise You for ever, because You hast done it: and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before Your saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones).
Psalm 57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith (Please do not destroy), Michtam (Poem) of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me (H2603- Show me favor), O God, be merciful unto me (H2603- show me favor): for my soul trusteth (takes refuge) in You: yea, in the shadow of Your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
57:3 He shall send from heaven (the sky), and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up (trample me). Selah. God shall send forth His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and His truth.
57:10 For Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) is great unto the heavens (sky), and Your truth unto the clouds.
Psalm 59:5 You therefore, O YAHWEH God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit (punishment on) all the heathen (nations): be not merciful (H2603- show no favor) to any wicked transgressors (deceivers). Selah.
59:10 The God of my mercy (H2617- My Elohiym of loving-commitment) shall prevent (go before) me: God shall let me see my desire (triumph) upon mine enemies.
59:16 But I will sing of Your power; yea, I will sing aloud of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) in the morning: for You hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17 Unto You, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy (H2617- My Elohiym of loving-commitment).
Psalm 61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth to preserve him.
When we abide by His ways we are preserved in this life. When we reverence Him we are preserved by His loving-commitment which He promised to those who love Him.
Psalm 62:12 Also unto You, O Yahweh, belongeth mercy (H2617- And loving-commitment is Yours): for You renderest to every man according to his work.
You can't show loving-commitment if you 'just believe'. You can't be rewarded if you have no work to show for. Grace and mercy is not given to lazy, ignorant, Hymie Jesus worshiping Judeo bums. Loving-commitment without works is dead. Works are necessary, both before Christ died (Job 34:11; Jeremiah 17:10) and after Christ died (Romans 2:6; Revelation 2:23).
So why do the “churches” teach that works don't matter, and to “just believe”?
Because the 'churches' are commited to delusions, lies, falsehood, and sheeny Jews.
Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, Yahweh will not hear me:
66:19 But verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) from me.
Psalm 67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth (stringed instrument), A Psalm or Song. God be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto us, and bless us; and cause His face (countenance) to shine upon us; Selah.
Psalm 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is unto You, O YAHWEH, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude (abundance) of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) hear (answer) me, in the truth of Your salvation (deliverance).
69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
69:16 Hear (Answer) me, O YAHWEH; for Your lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) is good: turn unto me according to the multitude (abundance) of Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions).
69:19 You hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before You.
69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness (helpless): and I looked for some to take pity (H5110- to have sympathy), but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Vinegar here was a special fermented vinegar forbidden to Nazarites (men consecrated to Yahweh's service), and was very bitter. Gall here can also be translated poison. This is a “messianic” Psalm.
Yahshua had perfect loving-commitment to Yahweh and His people. He demonstrated the example of a lovingly-commited one.
Psalm 72:13 (Speaking of Solomon) He shall spare (H2347- have compassion upon) the poor and needy, and shall save the souls (lives) of the needy.
Deuteronomy 15:7 When there is a poor man with you, one of your brothers, within any of the gates in your land which Yahweh your Elohim is giving you, do not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,
15:8 for you shall certainly open your hand to him and certainly lend him enough for his need, whatever he needs.
Psalm 77:7 Will Yahweh cast off for ever? and will He be favourable (H7521- pleased) no more?
77:8 Is His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) clean gone for ever? doth His promise (word) fail for evermore (H1775- generations)?
77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious (H2589- show favor)? hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions)? Selah.
Verse 8 clearly refers to the promises made to Abraham. The promise of loving-commitment to all his seed.
Asaph's psalm reminds us of Yahweh's promises and loving-commitment, even when we and our ancestors rebel against Him. He always keeps mercy and compassion for His children who change their ways.
Psalm 78:34 When He slew them, then they sought Him: and they returned (changed their ways) and enquired early (sought) after God.
78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their (Kinsman) Redeemer.
78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth, and they lied unto Him with their tongues.
78:37 For their heart was not right (steadfast) with Him, neither were they stedfast in His covenant.
78:38 But He, being full of compassion (H7349), forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned He His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath.
The 'churches' flatter with their mouth, they believe the lies of Jewish fables and pass those lies to others. Their hearts are not right with Him, but they are steadfast in the false promises of Jewish Jesus. Yet, Yahweh still has compassion for His ignorant sheep even though they are acting like goats. They can still repent and change their ways and turn His anger away. But will they? Sadly, most of them have their hearts and minds seared and will not find grace or mercy in 'that day'.
It so matters who and what we believe in.
Psalm 79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities (idol worship): let Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Psalm 84:11 For Yahweh God is a sun and shield: Yahweh will give grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) and glory (esteem): no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Walk uprightly, receive favor.
Psalm 85:7 Shew us Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), O YAHWEH, and grant us Your salvation (deliverance).
85:8 I will hear what God Yahweh will speak: for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones): but let them not turn again to folly (foolishness).
85:10 Mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Psalm 86:2 Preserve my soul (life); for I am holy (H2623- lovingly-commited): O You my God, save Your servant that trusteth in You.
86:3 Be merciful (H2603- Show favor) unto me, O Yahweh: for I cry unto You daily.
86:4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant: for unto You, O Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.
86:5 For You, Yahweh, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) unto all them that call upon You.
86:12 I will praise You, O Yahweh my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify (honor) Your name for evermore.
86:13 For great is Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) toward me: and You hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell (the grave, the land of the dead).
86:14 O God, the proud (arrogant) are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul (life); and have not set You before them.
86:15 But You, O Yahweh, art a God full of compassion (H7349), and gracious (H2587- merciful), longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth.
86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon (H2603- show favor to) me; give Your strength unto Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.
86:17 Shew me a token for good (H2896- sign of favor); that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because You, YAHWEH, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
Psalm 89:1 Maschil (Instructive) of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies (H2617- loving-commitment) of Yahweh for ever: with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness (trustworthiness) to all generations.
89:2 For I have said, Mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall be built up for ever: Your faithfulness (trustworthiness) shalt You establish in the very heavens (sky).
Yahweh keeps His promises to all the generations of whom He made the promise to. His mercies and loving-commitment covers all the children of Jacob. He is trustworthy to show mercy and grace to His children that obey Him.
89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation (foundation) of Your throne: mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth shall go before Your face (presence).
89:17 For You art the glory of their strength: and in Your favour (H7522- delight) our horn shall be exalted.
89:18 For Yahweh is our defence (refuge); and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
89:19 Then You spakest in vision to Your holy one (H2623- lovingly-commited one), and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen (a young man) out of the people.
Speaking of David and of Yahshua.
89:24 But My faithfulness (trustworthiness) and My mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall be with him: and in My name shall his horn be exalted.
89:28 My mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.
89:30 If his children forsake My law, and walk not in My judgments;
89:31 If they break (profane) My statutes, and keep not My commandments;
89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
89:33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness (trustworthiness) to fail.
Notice the word utterly. Not everybody receives mercy and grace. It depends on obedience and repentance.
Psalm 90:14 O satisfy us early (in the morning) with Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment); that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Psalm 94:17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in (the land of) silence.
Figuratively, death.
94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), O YAHWEH, held me up.
Psalm 97:10 You that love Yahweh, hate evil: He preserveth (guards) the souls (lives) of His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones); He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 98:2 Yahweh hath made known His salvation (victory): His righteousness (vindication) hath He openly shewed in the sight of the heathen (nations).
98:3 He hath remembered His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and His truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth (land) have seen the salvation (victory) of our God.
Yahweh is our Elohiym. Yahweh has loving-commitment with the house of Jacob. Yahweh does not have H2617 with any other peoples. His promises, covenants, mercy and grace are His loving-commitment to us alone.
Psalm 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
100:5 For Yahweh is good; His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
The context of Yahweh's H2617 chesed, is always towards the children of Jacob. 'To all generations' means to all the generations of Jacob, the peculiar people, the set-apart people, the chosen, the sheep, the 'lost' sheep, the Anglo-Saxon Israelites near and far, of past, present and future, everlasting. Rejoice!
Psalm 101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and judgment (right-ruling): unto You, O YAHWEH, will I sing.
Psalm 102:13 You shalt arise, and have mercy (H7355- deep compassion) upon Zion: for the time to favour (H2603) her, yea, the set time, is come.
102:14 For Your servants take pleasure in (H7521- delight) her stones, and favour (H2603) the dust thereof.
This Psalm is loaded with meaning and truth.
Psalm 103:2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
103:3 Who forgiveth all your iniquities; who healeth all your diseases;
103:4 Who redeemeth (acts as Kinsman Redeemer to deliver) your life from destruction; who crowneth you with lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) and tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions);
103:8 Yahweh is merciful (H7349- compassionate) and gracious (H2587), slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
103:9 He will not always chide: neither will He keep His anger for ever.
103:10 He hath not dealt with us after (according to) our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities (crookedness).
The penalty of sin is death. Not being rewarded death for our sins is mercy.
103:11 For as the heaven (sky) is high above the earth (land), so great is His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) toward them that fear (reverence) Him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
Our people have migrated as far as the east is from the west. Yahshua's sacrifice covers Israelites both near and far.
103:13 Like as a father pitieth (H7355- has compassion for) his children, so Yahweh pitieth (H7355- has compassion for) them that fear (revere) Him.
There must be reverence. You can't reverence Yahweh if you do not have knowledge and understanding, if you follow a counterfeit religion, or if you worship and call upon a Jewish Jesus.
103:17 But the mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear (reverence) Him, and His righteousness unto children's children;
103:18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them.
Who was given the law, made covenant with, and promised to? The children of Jacob Israel.
How do the 'churches' think they are under 'grace' and 'mercy' when they bless Ba'al with their soul, when they are sick and on big pharma, and don't need to repent because the law was 'done away with', and are waiting for the rapture?
He will deal with them according to their ignorance, stiffneckedness, and sins, and He will not show mercy or loving-commitment because they show compassion for the devil's children and show them and their sheeny Jesus loving-commitment!
It matters what you believe and who you believe in.
Even in ignorance you are held accountable. Yes, Yahweh will deal mercy as He deems fit, but if you are not hitting on any cylinders you will end up in the junk yard of GeHinnom!
Psalm 106:1 Praise you Yahweh. O give thanks unto Yahweh; for He is good: for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
106:4 Remember me, O Yahweh, with the favour (H7522- acceptance of) that You bearest unto Your people: O visit me with Your salvation (deliverance);
The Hebrew has 'Remember me, O Yahweh, when You favor Your people'.
106:43 Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their counsel (plotting), and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry:
106:45 And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented (relented, had pity) according to the multitude of His mercies (H2617- loving-commitment).
106:46 He made them also to be pitied of (H7356- find compassion before) all those that carried them captives.
The covenant with Abraham and Yahweh's loving-commitment go hand in hand.
Psalm 107:1 O give thanks unto Yahweh, for He is good: for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
107:2 Let the redeemed (delivered) of Yahweh say so, whom He hath redeemed (acted as Kinsman Redeemer to delivered them) from the hand of the enemy;
107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
This Psalm, among others, fortells of the reconciliation of all of the tribes of Jacob under the Better Covenant. The 'lost' sheep of the house of Israel are those Israelites that did not return to the ancient kingdom but went off, migrated, and settled the white nations of the world we now have today.
The 'church' was never bought, nor were other races. Only the children of Israel were bought and redeemed. The covenants and promises were made to Israel and Christ even states who He came for specifically in Matthew 15:24.
Now there are Israelites in these apostate 'churches' and if they come out from them, learn the truth, repent, acknowledge who they are and Whose they are, and change their ways, and kicks Jewish Jesus to the curb and worships Yahweh, then they may receive grace and mercy.
Scripture is filled with ifs and thens and it still works the same way.
Psalm 109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Genesis 4:12 When you tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt you be in the land.
4:13 And Cain said unto Yahweh, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
4:14 Behold, you hast driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the land;
109:11 Let the extortioner (creditor) catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
The Jews are the extortioners and usurers and they spoil the labors of the goyim. We should pray with David that the same be done to them.
109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy (H2617- loving commitment) unto him: neither let there be any to favour (H2603- favor shown to) his fatherless children.
David is speaking about the children of Cain.
The “churches” teach that the Bible says to love your enemies.
David and the Bible says to love enemies of your own race, because they are your brethren. The scriptures and David are clear about hating our enemies of other races, especially Canaanite and Edomite Jews. Read all of Psalm 109, David prays for Yahweh to show no favor and no pity for the cursed seed.
Yahweh cursed Cain and hated Esau. If you don't know what that means, Yahweh hates Jews!
Do you think Yahweh is going to show mercy and grace and bless the 'churches' who support and worship them?
They should be calling David a racist. But they don't understand that David is not a Jew, and that the Jews are not Israel. David sure is offensive in this psalm isn't he?
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Yahweh; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15 Let them (the sins) be before Yahweh continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth (land).
109:16 Because that he (these Jews) remembered not to shew mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries (accusers) from Yahweh, and of them that speak evil against my soul (life).
109:21 But do You for me, O GOD Yahweh, for Your name's sake: because Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) is good, deliver You me.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (Mal 1:3)
109:26 Help me, O YAHWEH my God: O save me according to Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment):
109:27 That they may know that this is Your hand; that You, YAHWEH, hast done it.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Judaeans (the Israel of the bible), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee (sons of Jacob).
Zechariah 14:21 ...and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of hosts.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for Yahweh hath spoken it.

111:5 He hath given meat (food) unto them that fear (reverence) Him: He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
Psalm 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious (H2587), and full of compassion (H7349), and righteous.
Light is enlightenment and darkness is confusion.
112:5 A good man sheweth favour (H2603), and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Hebrew ends as: “...he will manage his business affairs with justice.”
Psalm 115:1 Not unto us, O YAHWEH, not unto us, but unto Your name give glory, for Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), and for Your truth's (faithfulness's) sake.
Psalm 116:5 Gracious (H2587) is Yahweh, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful (H7355- deeply compassionate).
116:15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones).
Psalm 117:1 O praise Yahweh, all you nations: praise Him, all you people.
117:2 For His merciful kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) is great toward us: and the truth of Yahweh endureth for ever. Praise you Yahweh.
Note: All you nations and all you people are referring to the children of Israel.
Up to this point, every instance of mercy or grace coming from Yahweh has been towards His literal flesh and blood Adamic family and children of Israel. This theme continues throughout the whole bible, because the bible is the history, heritage and Way of our race.
Psalm 118:1 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for He is good: because His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
118:2 Let Israel now say, that His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
118:3 Let the house of Aaron (the priesthood) now say, that His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
118:4 Let them now that fear (revere) Yahweh say, that His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
118:29 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for He is good: for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
Psalm 119:29 Remove from me the way of lying (false ways): and grant (H2603- graciously teach) me Your law (Torah).
119:58 I intreated Your favour (H6440- presence) with my whole heart: be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto me according to Your word.
119:64 The earth (land), O YAHWEH, is full of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment): teach me Your statutes.

119:132 Look You upon me, and be merciful (H2603- show favor) unto me, as You usest to do (judgment, right-ruling) unto those that love Your name.
119:156 Great are Your tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions), O YAHWEH: quicken me (give me life) according to Your judgments.
119:170 Let my supplication (H8467- prayer, petition for favor) come before You: deliver me according to Your word.
According to Your word. The promise of preservation and deliverance to those of Abraham's seed through Jacob whom Yahweh covenanted with.
Psalm 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon Yahweh our God, until that He have mercy upon (H2603- shows favor to) us.
123:3 Have mercy upon (H2603- Show favor to) us, O YAHWEH, have mercy upon (H2603- show favor to) us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt (mockery).
123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease (of the insolent), and with the contempt (mockery) of the proud (arrogant).
Psalm 130:7 Let Israel hope in Yahweh: for with Yahweh there is mercy (H2617-loving-commitment), and with Him is plenteous redemption (deliverance).
130:8 And He shall redeem (deliver) Israel from all his iniquities.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shalt call His name YAHSHUA: for He shall save His people from their sins.
Titus 2:14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Grace, mercy and redemption are exclusively to and for the children of Israel.
The sons of Adam are Yahweh's children in the earth whom He loves, guards and has compassion for.
Yahweh chose Abraham and made a covenant and promises with him and his offspring through Isaac and Jacob.
Yahweh married our ancestors at Sinai. Gave them the laws, statutes, and ordinances. The blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience. He took them by the hand and instructed them in The Way. The Way was eventually called Christianity. It's not a religion, it is a way of life. It is the history and heritage of our race.
When our ancestors became habitual idolators and race-mixing whores, Yahweh divorced them and cast them off. Most of them never came back, lost their identity and history and forgot Yahweh. Hence 'lost' sheep.
When Christ died for us, His death reconciled, and redeemed us back to Him. It also nullified His own law of marriage and divorce providing a path back to Him through Yahshua, hence our Kinsman-redeemer. Hence, His loving-commitment because of His promises made to Abraham.
Now that is deep compassion.
A song of degrees remembering David and his zeal to build Yahweh a house.
Psalm 132:9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Your saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) shout for joy.
132:16 I will also clothe her (Zion's) priests with salvation: and her saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) shall shout aloud for joy.
Every time mercy is used in this Psalm it's H2617. Loving-commitment.
Psalm 136:1 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for He is good: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.

136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:13 To Him which divided the Red sea (Sea of Reeds) into parts: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea (Sea of Reeds): for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:16 To Him which led His people through the wilderness: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:17 To Him which smote great kings: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:18 And slew famous kings: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:22 Even an heritage unto Israel His servant: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever:
136:24 And hath redeemed (rescued) us from our enemies: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven (the sky): for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
Whoever does not want to return loving-commitment to Yahweh and be recognized as a lovingly-commited saint..... is an idiot!
Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You wilt revive me (keep me alive): You shalt stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of mine (hated) enemies, and Your right hand shall save me.
138:8 Yahweh will perfect (complete) that which concerneth me: Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), O YAHWEH, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of Your own hands.
Psalm 143:11 Quicken me (Preserve my life- from the hated enemy), O YAHWEH, for Your name's sake: for Your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12 And of Your mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) cut off mine (hated) enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am Your servant.
Psalm 145:8 Yahweh is gracious (H2587), and full of compassion (H7349); slow to anger, and of great mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
145:9 Yahweh is good to all: and His tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) are over all His works.
We Israelites are His works.
145:10 All Your works shall praise You, O YAHWEH; and Your saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) shall bless You.
145:11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power;
145:12 To make known to the sons of men (Adam) His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
145:17 Yahweh is righteous in all His ways, and holy (H2623- lovingly commited) in all His works.
This is a good example of why studying is awesome.
Listen to what this is really saying, when you use the original meanings.
'Yahweh is gracious and compassionate; very patient, and of great loving-commitment.
Yahweh's deep compassions are over all Israelites.
All Your Israelites shall praise You, O Yahweh, Your lovingly-commited ones shall bless You.
We shall speak of the glory of Your reign, and talk of Your victory; to make known to the sons of Adam His power, and the glorious splendor of His reign.
Yahweh is righteous in all His ways, and lovingly-commited in all His Israelites.'
It is so sad and such a shame that most of our people are not lovingly-commited to Him.
They love their Hymie Jesus, but Hymie's not the one with the authority on grace and mercy.
Psalm 147:11 Yahweh taketh pleasure in them that fear Him (hold Him in awe), in those that hope (expect, wait) in His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
Our unlearned and deceived kinsmen must understand that they can't hope or expect to receive loving-commitment from Him if they don't reverence His laws, or even know them, or even know Him.
Psalm 148:14 He also exalteth the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones); of the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Praise you Yahweh.
Psalm 148:14 tells us the identity of the 'saints'. They are of Jacob/Israel (not just those who are canonized by some man-made “church” establishment). Only the children of Jacob can be saints.
Psalm 149:1 Praise you Yahweh. Sing unto Yahweh a new song, and His praise in the (qahal) congregation of saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones).
149:5 Let the saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones) be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Do the Psalms not make you want to love Yahweh even more? To step up your game as a lovingly-commited one?
While the 'churches' go around claiming they are 'saved by grace' and ignorantly sitting in their own pews in lip service, David is asking Yahweh for His Mercy, for His loving-commitment.
The Psalms shows that Grace only comes with repentance and following The Way.
That Mercy and Compassion come from Yahweh's promise to Abraham. That Yahweh shows favor and loving-commitment to His lovingly-commited ones.
Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction (discipline) of thy father, and forsake not the law (Torah) of thy mother:
1:9 For they shall be an ornament of grace (H2580- fair wreath) unto your head, and chains about your neck.
The fair wreath is a crown of loving-commitment, which comes from following the Torah which was given to our people. The blessings of obedience (Deut 28). The Torah was given to Abraham's seed. The favor (grace) we receive is from the promises made to Abraham when we follow The Way.
Proverbs 2:6 For Yahweh giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints (H2623- lovingly-commited ones).
Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love Your law: and nothing shall offend them.
3:3 Let not mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:
3:4 So shalt you find favour (H2580) and good understanding in the sight of God and man (Adam).
3:21 My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion (council):
3:22 So shall they (wisdom and council) be life unto your soul, and grace (H2580- an adorning) to your neck.
The Septuagint has 'and it shall be health to your flesh, and safety to your bones'.
3:34 Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) unto the lowly.
Proverbs 4:8 Exalt her (wisdom), and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honour, when you dost embrace her.
4:9 She shall give to your head an ornament of grace (H2580- a fair wreath): a crown of glory shall she deliver to you.
Proverbs 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare (H2550- show compassion) in the day of vengeance.
6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you givest many gifts.
This is talking about what a man will do to another if he messes with his wife.
This is also referring to what Yahweh will do to those that cheat on Him with Jewish Jesus. If you are dating Jewish Jesus in the day of vengeance, don't expect to be spared.
Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
8:34 Blessed is the man (Adam) that heareth me (widom), watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour (H7522- delight, goodwill, acceptance) of Yahweh.
8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs 11:27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour (H7522- grace, delight, pleasure): but he that seeketh mischief, it (mischief) shall come unto him.
Proverbs 12:2 A good man obtaineth favour (H7522- delight, pleasure) of Yahweh: but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies (H7356- deep compassions) of the wicked are cruel.
Deuteronomy 25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
The Septuagint has 'but the bowels of the ungodly are unmerciful'.
The Jews think of us goyim as cattle, and through their usury and Draconian regulations are unmerciful to us. It can be shown that the codes on our fiat currency mean 'no mercy for the sheep'!
Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour (H2580- grace, acceptance): but the way of transgressors is hard (hated, or tends to destruction).
Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin (the guilt offering): but among the righteous there is favour (H7522- delight, acceptance).
14:21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on (H2603- show favor to) the poor, happy is he.
14:22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth shall be to them that devise good.
14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth Him hath mercy on (H2603- shows favor to) the poor.
14:35 The king's favour (H7522- delight, pleasure) is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
Proverbs 16:6 By mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
Proverbs 19:16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
19:17 He that hath pity upon (H2603- shows favor to) the poor lendeth unto Yahweh; and that which he hath given will He (Yahweh) pay him again.
19:22 The desire of a man (Adam) is his kindness (H2617- loving-commitment): and a poor man is better than a liar.
A lovingly-commited Adamite shows loving-commitment to his brethren.
Part of the definition of H2617 chesed is a reproach, shame.
Verse 22 can be translated also as: “The greed of an Adam is his reproach:...”
Proverbs 20:28 Mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
Proverbs 21:10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour (H2603- kindness, pity, mercy) in his eyes.
21:21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
H2617 chesed is connected to the second great commandment, which is love thy kinsmen.
Yahshua is our kinsman, our race is our kin. That is why we are called the body of Christ. We are to have loving-commitment to each other as the Father has towards us.
Proverbs 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit (falsehood) within him;
26:25 When he speaketh fair (H2603- kindly, favorably), believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Psalm 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
26:26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit (dissimulation), his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
Dissimulation is the act of hiding under a false appearance, hypocrisy.
This describes the 'churches' which hate the truth. They don't even know they hate it. They lay up the falsehood within them and appear to speak favorably of God, but believe them not, for their heart is filled with abominations. Their ignorant hatred is full of hypocrisy.
What are the 7 abominations?
A proud look- proud to be Jew lovers and 'saved' prayed up, paid up, waitin to go up.
A lying tongue- telling falshood, even in ignorance. Spreading the untempered mortar of Judeo doctrine.
Hands that shed innocent blood- murder, and by supporting Israel they support the anti-christ which supports Israelite genocide.
A heart that devises wicked imaginations- when they accept Jewish Jesus into their hearts, how can they not have wicked plans, works, and thoughts?
Feet that are swift in running to mischief- their intentions may be good, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
A false witness that speaks lies- they can't be witnesses of truth because they believe lies.
He that soweth discord among brethren- they will fight for their Jewish Jesus and their religious delusions and deny loving-commitment to their brethren because of it.
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy (H7355- compassion).
28:23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour (H2580) than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Wouldn't you rather be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie?
Proverbs 31:26 She (a virtuous woman) openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness (H2617- loving-commitment).
Proverbs 31:30 Favour (H2580- Lovliness, charm) is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth Yahweh, she shall be praised.
Grace in Proverbs is described as a crown of loving-commitment.
Grace is favor, favor is the delight and pleasure of Yahweh which is shown to the righteous and lovingly-commited ones.
Keeping His commandments brings Mercy.
Mercy towards your kinsmen is having loving-commitment which brings life.
Mercy is compassion.
Ecclesiastes 9:1 For all this I took to heart, even to search out all this: that the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of Elohim. No man knows whether love or hatred awaits him.
9:2 It is the same for all: One event to the righteous and to the wrong;
Solomon is speaking about death.
9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour (H2580) to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men (Adam) snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Exactly why we must always walk in Yahweh's Ways, so we may find favor with Him to preserve us in this life and deliver us in 'that day'.
We all will die, but we all will not receive grace and mercy.
Song of Solomon 8:10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour (H7965- peace).
Favour here is H7965 shalom shalom, meaning well, happy, safe, prosperity, peace, wholly.
Solomon's reign was a time of prosperity and peace, until his latter years when he took many strange racially alien wives and their gods. The kingdom was divided by Yahweh because of it. Yahweh hates race mixing and idolatry.
Wisdom of Solomon 3:9 They that put their trust in Him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful (steadfast) in love shall abide with Him: for grace (favor) and mercy (loving-commitment) is to His saints (lovingly-commited ones), and He hath care for His elect (Chosen Ones).
Wisdom 4:13 He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time:
4:14 For his soul pleased Yahweh: therefore hasted He to take him away from among the wicked.
4:15 This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That His grace (favor) and mercy (loving-commitment) is with His saints (lovingly-commited ones), and that He hath respect unto (watches over) His chosen.
Wisdom 6:6 For mercy (loving-commitment) will soon pardon the meanest (lowest): but mighty men shall be mightily tormented (tested).
Wisdom 9:1 O God of my fathers, and Yahweh of mercy (loving-commitment), (Yahweh) Who hast made all things with Your word,
9:4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by Your throne; and reject me not from among Your children (servants):
9:5 For I Your servant and son of Your handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time (short-lived), and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.
Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Chapter 11 is Wisdom leading the Israelites through the desert.
Wisdom 11:9 For when they were tried albeit but in mercy (loving-commitment) chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
Referring to turning the rivers to blood in Egypt. That thirst demonstrated that Yahweh had punished their adversaries.
11:10 For these (the just) You didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other (the unjust), as a severe king, You didst condemn and punish.
3Maccabees 5:7 they invoked the Almighty Yahweh, and ceaselessly besought with tears their merciful (lovingly-commited) God and Father, Ruler of all, Yahweh of every power,
11:23 But You hast mercy (compassion) upon all; for You canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend (repent).
11:24 For You lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which You hast made: for never wouldest You have made any thing, if You hadst hated it.
11:25 And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been Your will? or been preserved, if not called by You?
11:26 But You sparest (had compassion on) all: for they are Your, O Yahweh, You lover of souls (the living).
Yahweh had compassion on all of Israel, but those that did not obey Him and complained were destroyed. All Israel shall be saved does not mean every single Israelite. It means a remnant of the lovingly-commited ones shall receive grace and mercy.
God's lessons for Israel
Wisdom 12:19 But by such works hast You taught Your people that the just man should be merciful (kind and lovingly-commited), and hast made Your children to be of a good hope that You givest repentance for sins.
12:20 For if You didst punish the enemies of Your children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation (great care and indulgence), giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice (wickedness):
12:21 With how great circumspection didst You judge Your own sons, unto whose fathers You hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?
12:22 Therefore, whereas You dost chasten us, You scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of Your goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy (loving-commitment).
Even the Apocryphal literature teaches that the merciful loving-commitment comes from the promises made to Abraham and is exclusively for Israel.
Benefits of Worshiping the True Elohiym
Wisdom 15:1 But You, O God, art gracious and true, longsuffering, and in mercy (loving-commitment) ordering (ruling) all things,
15:2 For if we sin, we are Yours, knowing Your power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted Yours.
15:3 For to know You is perfect righteousness: yea, to know Your power is the root of immortality.
True worshipers of Yahweh will not suffer the second death.
Wisdom 16:10 But Your sons (children) not the very teeth of venomous dragons (serpents) overcame: for Your mercy (loving-commitment) was ever by them, and healed them.
16:11 For they were pricked, that they should remember Your words; and were quickly saved (delivered), that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of Your goodness.
Speaking of the bronze serpent in the desert, which was actually a type of thermometer which warned the Israelites to take cover from the intense radiation of the sun in their tents when the sun was blazing. The serpents were actually the mirage in the desert and if the people did not obey the signs they would be scorched and badly burned.
Wisdom 16:24 For the creature (creation) that serveth You, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in You.
16:25 Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions (referring to the fire that punished the enemies while it protected the children of Israel), and was obedient to Your grace (favor, loving-commitment), that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need (those that made supplication to Yahweh):
16:26 That Your children, O Yahweh, whom You lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits (crops) that nourisheth (feeds) man: but that it is Your word, which preserveth them that put their trust in You.
The Sea of Reeds
Wisdom 19:1 As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy (loving-commitment, favor, pity) unto the end: for He (Yahweh) knew before what they (the Egyptians) would do;
The Egyptians were still a mostly white nation at that time and were racial kinsmen to Israel. The Hamites did not keep their Adamic heritage and were not preserved as a people because of it. They did not receive grace or mercy because they remained pagan and race-mixed themselves out of existence. Jeremiah prophesied of their doom as well.
Sirach 1:13 Whoso feareth Yahweh, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour (merciful kindness) in the day of his death.
Sirach 2:7 Ye that fear Yahweh, wait for (look for, hope in, expect) His mercy (loving-commitment); and go not aside, lest you fall.
2:8 Ye that fear Yahweh, believe (trust in) Him; and your reward shall not fail.
2:9 Ye that fear Yahweh, hope for good (expect good), and for everlasting joy and mercy (loving-commitment).
2:10 Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in Yahweh, and was confounded (disappointed)? or did any abide in His fear, and was forsaken? or whom did He ever despise, that called upon Him?
2:11 For Yahweh is full of compassion and mercy (loving-commitment), longsuffering (patient), and very pitiful (merciful), and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.
2:12 Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!
Speaking about the ones that go to 'church' on sungod day and then go right back to their sinful ways in ignorance, believing they are 'saved' Christians by God's mercy and grace, all the while they are in reality and in fact have become anti-christ two-fold children of hell.
Notice in verse 10 it says 'generations of old'. Grace and mercy are connected to the generations of Adam, as the bible is the book of the generations of Adam (Gen 5:1).
2:17 They that fear Yahweh will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in His sight,
2:18 Saying, We will fall into the hands of Yahweh, and not into the hands of men: for as His majesty is, so is His mercy (loving-commitment).
You have to give yourself over to Yahshua. You have to repent, which means change your ways. You have to be as a child and get some learning, which is done by deep studying. You have to trust fully and always in Yahweh in every circumstance and not in men. Being a lovingly-commited Christian is a daily lifestyle, a heritage, a way of life.
If you are living the daily lifestyle of The Way, you are following the 2 great commandments and therefore demonstrating that you are a lovingly-commited one, which is what you are supposed to be doing, and therefore you will be shown loving-commitment by Yahweh, which is what He does because by His Word and His promise to Abraham He is supposed to keep His word, and does, and that is why grace and mercy is unmerited. Grace and mercy is something we are supposed to do. Like a lovingly-commited body of Christ, it's Yahweh and His children working in unison. Give, receive. Give , receive. Show mercy, receive mercy. Show compassion, receive compassion. Show obedience, receive blessings. Follow The Way, receive life everlasting.
Humility
Sirach 3:17 My son, go on with your business in meekness (humility); so shalt you be beloved of him that is approved (by those whom God accepts).
3:18 The greater you art, the more humble yourself, and you shalt find favour (delight, acceptance) before Yahweh.
3:17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
Precepts for Everyday Living
Sirach 5:4 Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for Yahweh is longsuffering, He will in no wise let you go.
5:5 Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin (Do not be so confident of forgiveness that you add sin to sin.):
5:6 And say not His mercy is great; He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from Him, and His indignation resteth upon sinners.
5:7 Make no tarrying to turn (back) to Yahweh, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of Yahweh come forth, and in your security you shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.
But I guess if you trust your church doctrine, then you don't have to listen to what these scriptures say because the law was 'done away with' and you go to church every sunday and you are secure because you are 'saved' already. Might want to read this section again.
Sirach 11:15 Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of Yahweh: love, and The Way of good works, are from Him.
11:16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
11:17 The gift of Yahweh remaineth with the godly (lovingly-commited ones), and His favour (loving-commitment) bringeth prosperity for ever.
11:18 There is some that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching (care and nigardship), and this is the portion of his reward:
11:19 Whereas he saith, I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods; and yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.
11:22 The blessing of Yahweh is in the reward of the godly (lovingly-commited ones), and suddenly He maketh His blessing flourish.
Sirach 16:11 And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy (loving-commitment) and wrath are with Him; He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure (wrath).
16:12 As His mercy (loving-commitment) is great, so is His correction also: He judgeth a man according to his works
16:13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils (or with his rapture ticket): and the patience of the godly (lovingly-commited ones) shall not be frustrate (disappointed).
16:14 Make way for every work of mercy (good deed): for every man shall find according to his works.
16:15 Yahweh hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know Him, that His powerful works might be known to the world.
16:16 His mercy (loving-commitment) is manifest to every creature (creation); and He hath separated His light from the darkness with an adamant.
The Majesty of Yahweh
Sirach 18:10 As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone in comparison of the sand; so are a thousand years to the days of eternity.
18:11 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth His mercy (loving-commitment) upon them.
18:12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore He multiplied His compassion (grants them forgiveness all the more).
18:13 The mercy of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of Yahweh is upon all flesh (speaking of Israel): He reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd His flock.
18:14 He hath mercy (loving-commitment) on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after His judgments.
18:20 Before judgment examine yourself, and in the day of visitation you shalt find mercy.
Sirach 21:16 The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace (delight, favor) shall be found in the lips of the wise.
Here's a good one the 'churches' should look at.
Sirach 23:1 O Yahweh, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels (designs, doctrines), and let me not fall by them.
23:2 (Geneva) Who will correct my thought, and put the doctrine of wisedome in mine heart, that they may not spare me in mine ignorance, neither let their faultes passe?
23:3 Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from Your mercy.
Sounds like Sirach understood that if he believed 'church' doctrine that he would be ignorant, his sins would abound to his destruction, and his hope would be far from Yahweh's mercy.
It matters who and what we believe in, and how we understand the original words in scripture.
Sirach 28:2 Forgive your neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto you, so shall your sins also be forgiven when you prayest.
Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
28:3 One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from Yahweh?
28:4 He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
Sirach 29:8 Yet have you patience with a man in poor estate (humble circumstances), and delay not to shew him mercy (compassion, loving-commitment).
29:9 Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.
Matthew 22:39 And the second (great commandment) is like unto it, You shalt love your neighbour as yourself.
29:10 Lose your money for your brother and your friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.
29:11 Lay up your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High, and it shall bring you more profit than gold.
Mercy is compassion which is loving-commitment, which is what we must give in order to receive.
Sirach 32:16 He that serveth Yahweh shall be accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds.
35:17 (Geneva) The prayer of him that humbleth himselfe, goeth thorowe the cloudes, and ceaseth not till it come neere (the Most High), and will not depart till the Most High haue respect thereunto to iudge righteously, and to execute iudgement.
32:18 For Yahweh will not be slack, neither will the Mighty (tarry long from) them, till He have smitten in sunder (cut in two) the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the nations; till He have taken away the multitude of the proud (cruel), and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;
32:19 Till He have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till He have judged the cause of His people, and made them to rejoice in His mercy (loving-commitment).
32:20 Mercy (loving-commitment) is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
Sirach 35:14 Whoso feareth Yahweh will receive His discipline; and they that seek Him early shall find favour.
Sirach 36:12 O Yahweh, have mercy (loving-commitment) upon the people that is called by Your name, and upon Israel, whom You hast named Your firstborn.
36:13 As the clay is in the potter's hand, to fashion it at his pleasure: so man is in the hand of Him that made him, to render to them as liketh Him best.
36:13 O be merciful (lovingly-commited) unto Jerusalem, Your holy city, the place of Your rest.
36:14 Good is set against (opposite of) evil, and life against (the opposite of) death: so is the godly (lovingly-commited ones) against (the opposite of) the sinner, and the sinner against (opposite of) the godly (lovingly-commited ones).
Sirach 47:20 (Speaking of Solomon) You didst stain your honour, and pollute your seed: so that you broughtest wrath upon your children, and wast grieved for your folly.
47:21 So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom. (1Ki 12:15-20)
47:22 But Yahweh will never leave off His mercy (loving-commitment), neither shall any of His works perish, neither will He abolish the posterity of His elect (chosen ones), and the seed of him that loveth Him He will not take away: wherefore He gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David. (2Sam 7:15)
More clues that link grace and mercy to the children of Jacob.
A Benediction
Sirach 50:22 Now therefore bless you the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to His mercy (loving-commitment).
Part of the definition of H7356 for compassion is also womb.
Yahweh knew us before we were born and certainly has loving-commitment to us in the womb, as we are His children, born from above, into the seedline which was promised everlasting loving-commitment.
50:23 He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:
50:24 That He would confirm His mercy (loving-commitment) with us, and deliver us at His time.
Chapter 51 is the prayer of Jesus Son of Sirach who is thanking and praising Yahweh.
Sirach 51:8 Then thought I upon Your mercy (loving-commitment), O Yahweh, and upon Your acts of old, how You deliverest such as wait for You, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.
51:29 Let your soul rejoice in His mercy (loving-commitment), and be not ashamed of His praise.
51:30 Work your work betimes, and in His time He will give you your reward.
Isaiah 9:13 For the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek Yahweh of hosts.
This was the time of the divorce. Yahweh had enough of the idolatry and race-mixing and sent Syrians, Philistines and Assyrians to punish Israel. They didn't listen to His prophets and instead listened to unrighteous prophets and priests which were leading the people astray, just like today's denominational churches and pulpit bastards.
9:14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
Palm branch and reed. Metaphor for 'high and low'.
9:15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Septuagint reads 15-16: 15 the old man, and them that respect (the status of) persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail. 16 And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
9:17 Therefore Yahweh shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy (H7355- compassion) on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
9:18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
9:19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare (H2550- pity) his brother.
Yahweh used the Babylonians to punish Israel for their apostacy. The Babylonians were very cruel to Israel and destroyed Yahweh's temple. After they did their job Yahweh sent the Medes and Persians which put an end to the Babylonians, showing no mercy to them.
Isaiah 13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
13:18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity (H7355- compassion) on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare (H2347) children.
13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Physical Babylon is uninhabited as prophesied, but Mystery Babylon rules the world today, which is the International Jew and they now own and run everything. We are in the Jewish Matrix of Deceit, and everyone save the remnant is fooled by it.
Isaiah 14:1 For Yahweh will have mercy (H7355- compassion) on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers (sojourning kinsmen) shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
And He did. Amercia is the regathering place of all twelve tribes, as also prophesied in 2Samuel 7:10, which was prophesied while in the land, so it's not talking about Israhell.
Isaiah 16:4 Let Mine outcasts dwell with you, Moab; be you a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Some Israelites escaped from the Assyrians to Moab while the extortioners, spoilers and oppressors of Israel were destroyed.
16:5 And in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
Yahweh keeps His promises. Even though He has loving-commitment to all the children of Jacob because of the promises made to Abraham, the unrighteous ones are destroyed without mercy as He preserves the lovingly-commited ones, and He keeps the Davidic throne filled.
Isaiah 26:1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
26:2 Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth (faithfulness) may enter in.
26:10 Let favour (H2603) be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of Yahweh.
The Septuagint has 'For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of Yahweh.
When we live among the unrighteous, we become unrighteous.
Isaiah 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered (dry), they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore He that made them will not have mercy (H7355- compassion) on them, and He that formed them will shew them no favour (H2603- mercy, pity).
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,
Isaiah 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
30:14 And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; He shall not spare (H2550- pity): so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit (cistern).
The problem was that the Israelites did not listen to the warnings and when the punishment came they thought they could flee and escape and trust in the other nations for refuge.
But the lovingly-commited ones trusted the words of Yahweh through the prophets that if they accepted their punishment they would be preserved through it.
30:18 And therefore will Yahweh wait, that He may be gracious (H2603- show mercy) unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy (H7355- compassion, favor) upon you: for Yahweh is a God of judgment (right-ruling): blessed are all they that wait for Him.
30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shalt weep no more: He will be very gracious (H2603- favorable) unto you at the voice of your cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer you.
Yahweh will show favor and compassion to His obedient remnant.
Chapter 46 is about Yahweh and pagan gods.
Isaiah 46:3 Hearken unto Me (Yahweh), O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by Me (of Me) from the belly, which are carried from the womb (H7356- deep compassion):
This verse states that the children of Jacob are physical, literal, offspring of Yahweh. Yahweh is lovingly-commited to every Israelite that returns the favor.
46:4 And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs (old age) will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Yahweh will preserve His people through these times of captivity and subjection.
46:5 To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
Not Ba'al, not Nebo, not Asherah and certainly not Jewish Jesus! Yahweh is the only God.
Chapter 47 is Babylon judged.
Isaiah 47:6 I was wroth with My people, I have polluted Mine inheritance, and given them into your hand: you didst shew them no mercy (H7356- compassion); upon the ancient hast you very heavily laid your yoke.
When Israel was in Babylonian captivity, they were to be treated fairly, but the Babylonians were ruthless, so Yahweh was going to send Koresh to punish the Babylonians.
Isaiah 49:8 Thus saith Yahweh, In an acceptable time have I heard you (children of Jacob), and in a day of salvation (deliverance) have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth (land), to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
49:9 That you mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness (ignorance), Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
49:10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for He that hath mercy (H7355- compassion) on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them.
49:13 Sing, O heavens (skies); and be joyful, O earth (land); and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Yahweh hath comforted His people, and will have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon His afflicted.
49:14 But Zion said, Yahweh hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me.
49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion (H7355) on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
Isaiah 54:5 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is His name; and your (Kinsman) Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth (land) shall He be called.
54:6 For Yahweh hath called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when you wast refused, saith your God.
When they were divorced in 745 BC for being an idolatrous race-mixing whore.
54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies (H7356- deep compassions) will I gather you.
Speaking of Israel. The gospel is to our people. We are the true sons of Jacob.
54:8 In a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) will I have mercy (H7355- compassion) on you, saith Yahweh your (Kinsman) Redeemer.
54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth (land); so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with you, nor rebuke you.
54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith Yahweh that hath mercy (H7355- deep compassion) on you.
The covenant and mercy are connected to the children of Israel. Yahweh has deep compassion and mercy with those that return to Him.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek you Yahweh while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near:
55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto Yahweh, and He will have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister unto you: for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favour (H7522- delight, pleasure, mercy) have I had mercy (H7355- compassion) on you.
Zechariah 6:15 And they that are far off (dispersed Israelites) shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh, and you shall know that Yahweh of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
Chapter 60 is a vision of the kingdom.
Sons of strangers are referring to the estranged Israelites. Those of the northern house of Israel that did not return to Jerusalem after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities and lost and forgot their heritage. These are also referred to as the uncircumcision, or the dispersed.
The gospel is the reconciliation of the 2 houses of Judah and Israel (the dispersed) under the Better Covenant.
Isaiah 63:7 I (Isaiah) will mention the lovingkindnesses (H2617- loving-commitment) of Yahweh, and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He hath bestowed on them according to His mercies (H7356- deep compassions), and according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses (H2617- loving-commitment).
63:8 For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie: so He was their Saviour.
63:9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel (messenger) of His presence saved them: in His love and in His pity (H2351- compassion, mercy) He redeemed (delivered) them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
In Isaiah Grace is the favor shown to those that trusted His plan of punishment and purging. Those that returned to Him were favored.
Mercy is the loving-commitment He showed to the children of Jacob who accepted their punishment. He had compassion on them as a father would have towards a son who deserved correction.
If it were not for the promises made to Abraham then they would have all been destroyed. Yahweh's remnant is His lovingly-commited ones.
Yahweh chastises Judah for race mixing
Jeremiah 2:1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2:2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Yahweh; I remember you, the kindness (H2617- loving-commitment) (piety towards God) of your youth, the love of your espousals (bridehood), when you wentest (walked) after Me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
Before they entered the Promised land.
2:13 For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
A reference to the product of race-mixing. A child that cannot hold the Spirit. A broken cistern.
Jeremiah 3:11 And Yahweh said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, saith Yahweh; and I will not cause Mine anger (presence) to fall upon you: for I am merciful (H2623- lovingly-commited), saith Yahweh, and I will not keep anger for ever.
3:13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you hast transgressed against Yahweh your God, and hast scattered your ways to the strangers (foreigners, and foreign gods) under every green tree, and you have not obeyed My voice, saith Yahweh.
H2623 chasiyd is an adjective and means a lovingly-commited one.
Jeremiah 4:1 If you wilt return, O Israel, saith Yahweh, return unto Me: and if you wilt put away your abominations (the idols) out of My sight, then shalt you not remove (H5110- wander).
Note: In verse 1, remove is H5110, nud. Also related to H5113 below.
Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, and dwelt in the land of Nod (H5113 wandering), on the east of Eden.
If we return to Yahweh, He will not cast us out to wander forever as He did Cain and his children.
Jeremiah 6:22 Thus saith Yahweh, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth (land). The Babylonians.
6:23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy (H7355- compassion); their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against you, O daughter of Zion.
Jeremiah 12:14 Thus saith Yahweh against all Mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
12:15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion (H7355) on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
12:16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, Yahweh liveth; as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall they be (re)built in the midst of My people.
The 'they' in verse 16 is speaking of the nations that are going to carry Israel into captivity. If they learn that Yahweh is the God of Israel, and repent, He will let them rebuild their nation. These conquering nations that punished Israel were racial kinsmen of the nations that sprung from Adam (Genesis chapter 10), but were pagan.
Chapter 13 has the parable of the girdle, which is about race-mixing.
Yahweh tells Jeremiah to put on linen girdle. To wear it for days and not to wash it. Then to hide it in a hole. After many days Yahweh tells him to go get it and it was marred, profitable for nothing.
Jeremiah 13:9 Thus saith Yahweh, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
13:10 This evil people, which refuse to hear My words, which walk in the imagination (stubbornness) of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Dirty rotten underwear.
Yahweh goes on to say that He will make everyone in Jerusalem drunk with the cup of His fury.
13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith Yahweh: I will not pity (H2550), nor spare (H2347- pardon), nor have mercy (H7355- compassion), but destroy them.
Jeremiah 16:5 For thus saith Yahweh, Enter not into the house of mourning (for the dead), neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away My peace from this people, saith Yahweh, even lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment) and mercies (H7356- deep compassions).
When we wander from The Way, and from Yahweh, He will take His peace from us, He will show no mercy, and justice will be served. There is no such thing as 'once saved, always saved'. No one is 'saved' yet. Those that have been so-called 'saved' Yahweh can still make to wander. This life is an ongoing test to remain in His Way.
Jeremiah 16:10 And it shall come to pass, when you shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto you, Wherefore hath Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God?
This is the same thing today's “church” goers will be saying.
16:11 Then shalt you say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken Me, saith Yahweh, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken Me, and have not kept My law;
Worshiping a Jewish Jesus, and teaching that the law was 'done away with'.
16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto Me:
Today's “churches” worship a Jewish Jesus and follow false doctrine. They don't know God's name, who they are, and who the enemy is. Many have gone to church their whole life and still don't know what the scriptures really says.
16:13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour (H2594).
The promises made with Abraham only work IF we follow the covenant our forefathers agreed to at Sinai. The favor (grace) is there, but we must still be obedient which demonstrates our loving-commitment which is what Yahweh show us in return. Everybody doing what they are supposed to be doing.
The people hated Jeremiah when he was indicting and prophesying against them for their race mixing and idolatry, now things are turning bad and they turn to him.
Yahweh's judgment was set. They were going to be severely punished.
Jeremiah 21:5 And I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
21:6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
In their sin and wickedness, the children of Israel have become enemies of Yahweh.
21:7 And afterward, saith Yahweh, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their (hated) enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare (H2347- pardon) them, neither have pity (H2550), nor have mercy (H7355- compassion).
21:8 And unto this people you shalt say, Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
21:9 He that abideth (dwells) in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
Falleth, meaning, their lot in life will fall to the Kasdiym (Chaldeans), they will place their lives in the hands of the Kasdiym. They will become servants to them and live.
21:10 For I have set My face against this city for evil (harm), and not for good, saith Yahweh: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
No forgiving the people, no mercy or grace or compassion to stop this invasion, no cleansing the temple and one more try to be good. Yahweh was cleaning house. The people, the temple and the land were all defiled and there was no remedy. But as He instructed, those that accept the punishment and fall to the Babylonians will be preserved and shown favor.
Jeremiah 30:15 Why criest you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.
30:18 Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy (H7355- compassion) on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
Yahweh promised they would return to rebuild when their punishment ended. The Babylonian captivity lasted 70 years, which is also because they failed to keep the land shabbaths for 70 years.
Jeremiah 31:1 At the same time, saith Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.
31:2 Thus saith Yahweh, The people which were left of the sword found grace (H2580- favor) in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
After the Babylonians came through, the Israelites that followed Yahweh were shown favor.
31:20 (Yahweh speaking) Is Ephraim My dear son? is he a pleasant child? for though I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore My bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon (H7355- great compassion for) him, saith Yahweh.
Ephraim is usually a reference to the northern house of Israel, the 10 tribes who did not return after captivity and migrated outside Judaea and into Europe, becoming known as the 'lost' sheep to whom the gospel was sent. Yahweh does not break His promise to the seed of Abraham. Yahweh is a lovingly-commited Elohiym who keeps His Word.
Jeremiah 33:10 Thus saith Yahweh; Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
33:11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise Yahweh of hosts: for Yahweh is good; for His mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of Yahweh. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith Yahweh.
'When you are done with your punishment I will bring you back', and He did.
33:25 Thus saith Yahweh; If My covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven (the sky) and earth (the land);
33:26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy (H7355- great compassion) on them.
Jeremiah 42:2 And (all the people came and) said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech you, our supplication (H8467- petition for favor) be accepted before you, and pray for us unto Yahweh your God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do behold us:)
42:3 That Yahweh thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
42:9 And (Jeremiah) said unto them, Thus saith Yahweh, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication (H8467- petition for favor) before Him;
42:10 (Yahweh speaking) If you will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent Me (I relent) of the evil (harm) that I have done unto you.
Like a parent, Yahweh did not want to spank them, but He had to.
42:11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Yahweh: for I am with you to save (preserve) you, and to deliver you from his hand.
42:12 And I will shew mercies (H7356- deep compassion) unto you, that he may have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
In Jeremiah, we see that Yahweh remembers His bride when they had loving-commitment towards Him, but have become race-mixing whores.
Mercy is promised to those that trust and accept His judgment of punishment on the whole nation will be shown mercy and that the willfully disobedient will not receive pardon, pity or compassion.
Yahweh keeps His promise made to Abraham's seed of preservation and loving-commitment to the lovingly-commited ones and those that returned to Him.
Lamentations 2:2 Yahweh hath swallowed up all the habitations (pastures) of Jacob, and hath not pitied (H2550- spared, without compassion): He hath thrown down in His wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought them down to the ground: He hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
The 'daughter of Judah' would be the cities and the villages of the land of Judah. They were already taken in mid 700 BC by the Assyrians.
2:17 Yahweh hath done that which He had devised; He hath fulfilled His word that He had commanded in the days of old: He hath thrown down, and hath not pitied (H2550- spared, without compassion): and He hath caused your (hated) enemy to rejoice over you, He hath set up the horn of your adversaries.
Days of old- Dueteronomy 28 Leviticus 26 the curses and the blessings.
2:21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; You hast slain them in the day of Your anger; You hast killed, and not pitied (H2550- spared, without compassion).
Yahweh's mercy is great, His compassions are deep, but He is an Elohiym of His Word and when our people do not obey Him He performs the curses of disobedience without compassion.
Lamentations 3:22 It is of Yahweh's mercies (H2617- loving-commitment) that we are not consumed, because His compassions (H7356- deep compassions) fail not.
Malachi 3:6 For I am Yahweh, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
3:30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
If you are guilty turn the other cheek to him also. Half a spanking does not teach a lesson.
3:31 For Yahweh will not cast off for ever:
Psalm 94:14 For Yahweh will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
Speaking of both houses, Judah and Israel.
3:32 But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion (H7355) according to the multitude of His mercies (H2617- loving-commitments).
3:33 For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith Yahweh GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
3:43 You hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: You hast slain, You hast not pitied (H2550- spared, shown compassion).
Baruch 1:12 And Yahweh will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour (delight) in their sight.
The righteous Israelites knew that the Babylonian captivity/punishment was for their own good and accepted it. In return, Yahweh preserved them through it and gave them favor in the sight of the Babylonians.
Baruch 2:14 Hear our prayers, O Yahweh, and our petitions, and deliver us for Your own sake, and give us favour (delight) in the sight of them which have led us away:
2:15 That all the earth may know that You art Yahweh our Elohiym, because Israel and his posterity is called by Your name.
The promise made to Abraham covers all Israelites who are lovingly-commited to Yahweh.
Yahweh's Promise Recalled
2:27 O Yahweh our God, You hast dealt with us after all Your goodness, and according to all that great mercy (loving-commitment) of Yours,
2:28 As You spakest by Your servant Moses in the day when You didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,
2:29 If you will not hear (obey) My voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.
Baruch 3:2 Hear, O Yahweh, and have mercy (compassion); for You art merciful: and have pity upon us, because we have sinned before You.
Repentance = Mercy.
Encouragement for Israel
Baruch 4:5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
4:6 Ye were sold to the nations, not for your destruction: but because you moved God to wrath, you were delivered unto the enemies.
4:7 For you provoked Him that made you by sacrificing unto devils, and not to God.
4:8 Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and you have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you.
4:9 For when she (Jerusalem) saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O you that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;
4:10 For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.
When Israel was lovingly-commited she (Jerusalem) was filled with joy, but when they became race-mixing idolatrous sluts she sent them away weeping and mourning.
4:20 I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.
4:21 Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto Yahweh, and He will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.
4:22 For my hope is in the Everlasting, that He will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy (loving-commitment) which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.
4:23 For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever.
4:24 Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation (deliverance) from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.
Baruch 5:9 For God (Elohiym) shall lead Israel with joy in the light of His glory with the mercy (loving-commitment) and righteousness that cometh from Him.
The People Face a Long Captivity
Baruch 6:2 Because of the sins which you have committed before God, you shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor (Nebuchadnezzar) king of the Babylonians.
6:3 So when you be come unto Babylon, you shall remain there many years, and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and after that I (Yahweh) will bring you away peaceably from thence.
6:4 Now shall you see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.
6:5 Beware therefore that you in no wise be like to (become like the) strangers (foreigners), neither be you and of them (or of letting fear for these gods possess you), when you see the multitude before them and behind them, worshipping them.
6:38 They (idols, false gods, Jewish Jesus) can shew no mercy (loving-commitment) to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.
Even Baruch speaks of Yahweh's loving-commitment to the seed of Abraham. That they will be shown favor and mercy during their captivity if they trust, repent, and obey Yahweh.
The theme never changes. Repent, return, obey and receive mercy.
Ezekiel 5:7 Therefore thus saith Yahweh GOD; Because you multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in My statutes, neither have kept My judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
Septuagint reads: “...Because your occasion for sin has been taken from the nations round about you...”
We learn wickedness from the other nations and practice their traditions.
5:8 Therefore thus saith Yahweh GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
5:11 Wherefore, as I live, saith Yahweh GOD; Surely, because you hast defiled My sanctuary (the Temple) with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations (idols), therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall Mine eye spare (H2347- pardon), neither will I have any pity (H2550- compassion).
When we allow the other races to live amongst us, we forsake Yahweh and adopt their traditions and gods. Look at America, and any once white Christian nation. Once we become multi-racial and multi-cultural, we also become a nation of multiple gods. This is not how we show our loving-commitment to our Elohiym. He will not spare or pardon a cesspool of abominations.
Ezekiel 7:3 Now is the end come upon you, and I will send Mine anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations.
7:4 And Mine eye shall not spare (H2347- pardon) you, neither will I have pity (H2550- compassion, mercy): but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
7:8 Now will I shortly pour out My fury upon you, and accomplish Mine anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.
7:9 And Mine eye shall not spare (H2347- pardon), neither will I have pity (H2550- compassion, mercy): I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh that smiteth.
In chapter 8 Yechezqe'l is shown a vision of just how wicked Jerusalem has become.
Ezekiel 8:17 Then He said unto me, Hast you seen this, O son of man (Adam)? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke Me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Likely a reference to pagan rituals, incense, hallucinogenics.
Sheldon Emry states it was to 'hide their doings (incense)'.
8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: Mine eye shall not spare (H2347- pardon), neither will I have pity (H2550- compassion): and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Chapter 9 continues the vision of the slaughter of idolaters.
Ezekiel 9:4 And Yahweh said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
These are the righteous men that are not involved in the satanic society, those who reject sin and abomination. There preservation is assured here.
9:5 And to the others (the ones with the weapons) He said in mine hearing, Go you after him through the city, and smite (to kill): let not your eye spare (H2347- pardon), neither have you pity (H2550- compassion, mercy):
9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
These were the men bowing down towards the sun.
This vision is a parable of what was to come upon Jerusalem at the hands of the Chaldeans (Babylonians). They didn't know this was coming. Just like today, the fall of Mystery Babylon is coming. Most everybody doesn't even know what's coming, and if they don't repent and change their ways they will not be pardoned or shown mercy either, even if they are 'saved' and call on Hymie Jesus.
9:10 And as for Me also, Mine eye shall not spare (H2347- pardon), neither will I have pity (H2550- compassion, mercy), but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Chapter 16 is a parallel to Jeremiah chapter 2. Much of the sin in Jerusalem is due to the people allowing themselves to be infiltrated by the Hittites and Canaanites (Jews and other cursed seed tribes).
In Deuteronomy 7 and 12 are the warnings that Israel received that they were to destroy the peoples of the Canaanites and their idols and not to be ensnared by them.
Exodus 23:33 warns, they shall not dwell in your land lest they make you sin against Me.
The same thing happened again here in America. Look who sits in all seats of authority and owns and runs everything. Hittite cursed seed sheeny Jews.
Judgment upon Israel for race mixing
Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying,
16:2 Son of man (Adam), cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
16:3 And say, Thus saith Yahweh GOD unto Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite. (Eze 16:45)
Yahweh is calling them Canaanites and Edomites because of their practices.
16:4 And as for your (speaking of Israel's) nativity, in the day you wast born your navel (umbilical cord) was not cut, neither wast you washed in water to supple (cleanse) you; you wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Salt is a cleansing agent. Salt is a preservative. Salt is symbolic of loyalty and uprightness.
Salt in the NT comes from the Greek word 'halas'. Figuratively prudence: Wisdom applied to practice.
16:5 None eye pitied (H2347) you, to do any of these unto you, to have compassion (H2550- mercy) upon you; but you wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of your person, in the day that you wast born.
Signifying the wicked bringing forth (giving birth to) iniquity.
Ezekiel 20:23 I lifted up Mine hand (as an oath) unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen (nations), and disperse them through the countries; (Lev 26:33, Deut 28:64)
20:24 Because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, and had polluted My sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
20:25 Wherefore I gave them also (up to) statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
Speaking of being given over to the laws and the land where they were dispersed that were not good for them.
20:26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb (H7356), that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh.
The phrase 'pass through the fire' is referring to the Canaanite Jew sacrificial rituals where children are offered to Baal (the Lord) by being thrown in the fire.
The womb is also symbolic of compassions. Yahweh hates when His children are sacrificed by fire, and today by Jewish child ritual sacrifice, and abortion.
Ezekiel 24:13 In your filthiness is lewdness (unchastity): because I have purged you, and you wast not purged, you shalt not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.
24:14 I Yahweh have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare (H2347- pardon), neither will I repent (relent, change My mind); according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, saith Yahweh GOD.
The first purge was by the Assyrians, which took the 10 tribed house of Israel as well as most of Judah. Jerusalem was spared because of Hezekiah's reforms and the people repented. But that didn't last because a half spanking does not teach the lesson. The Babylonians were sent to finish the spanking.
Ezekiel 36:21 But I had pity (H2550- compassion) for Mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen (nations), whither they went.
36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith Yahweh GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for Mine holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the heathen (nations), whither you went.
Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid My face from them.
39:25 Therefore thus saith Yahweh GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity (restore the captives) of Jacob, and have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous (zealous) for My holy name;
39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed (commited) against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
They trespassed until there was no remedy, they were punished and destroyed, and only the ones that accepted their punishement, repented and returned to Him were shown compassion.
In Ezekiel we see that mean ol' God of the OT that the 'churches' fear, thinking that He is only all about LOVE now. Ignorant to the fact that the same thing is going on today, the warning signs, and the coming judgment, but they trust their Jewish Jesus and believed they are 'saved' already and will escape tribulation and judgment because they are under 'grace'.
Note: H2617 chesed , which is loving-commitment, was not used once in Ezekiel. We see that Yahweh was all about judgment and destruction upon His people, the city, and His temple because they were all defiled by idols and race-mixing. He showed no Mercy to the ungodly, but He did preserve His lovingly-commited ones who repented and trusted in His house cleaning and were allowed to return after 70 years of punishment.
Daniel 1:9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour (H2617- loving-commitment) and tender love (H7356- deep compassion) with the prince of the eunuchs (of Babylon).
Daniel was lovingly-commited to Yahweh and because of it he found favor by the eunuchs and king of Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar erected a golden image, and commanded that all people should fall down and worship it. Daniel's companions refused to comply and were thrown into a fiery furnace. However, they were miraculously preserved by the Son of God in the flames, and this was acknowledged by the king himself, who decreed that henceforth no one should say anything against the God of 'Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.' Similarily, we find that to succeed in this world everyone must bow before the power of money, as represented by gold, and to similar man-made institutions. Those who refuse to conform must suffer, but it is a fact that Christ stands with His people in their fiery trials.
The prayer of Azariah (Abednego)
Yet deliver us not up wholly, for Thy name's sake, neither disannul You Thy covenant: And cause not Thy mercy (loving-commitment) to depart from us, for Thy beloved Abraham's sake, for Thy servant Isaac's sake, and for Thy holy Israel's sake; To whom You hast spoken and promised, that You wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of the sky, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore. For we, O Yahweh, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins. Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before You, and to find mercy (compassion).
O Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bless ye Yahweh: praise and exalt Him above all for ever: for He hath delivered us from hell, and saved us from the hand of death, and delivered us out of the midst of the furnace and burning flame: even out of the midst of the fire hath He delivered us. O give thanks unto Yahweh, because He is gracious: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
O all ye that worship Yahweh, bless the God of gods, praise Him, and give Him thanks: for His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth for ever.
Now that's how you receive mercy.
Daniel 9:3 And I set my face unto Yahweh God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
9:4 And I prayed unto Yahweh my God, and made my confession, and said, O Yahweh, the great and dreadful (awesome) God, keeping the covenant and mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) to them that love Him, and to them that keep His commandments;
9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts (commandments) and from Your judgments:
9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto Your servants the prophets, which spake in Your name to our kings, our princes (officers), and our (fore) fathers, and to all the people of the land.
9:9 To Yahweh our God belong mercies (H7356- deep compassions) and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against Him;
9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil (calamity) is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before Yahweh our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand Your truth.
9:14 Therefore hath Yahweh watched upon the evil (calamity), and brought it upon us: for Yahweh our God is righteous in all His works which He doeth: for we obeyed not His voice.
9:18 O my God, incline Your ear, and hear; open Your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name: for we do not present our supplications (H8469- supplication for favor) before You for our righteousnesses, but for Your great mercies (H7356- deep compassions).
The Septuagint ends as: “for we do not bring our pitiful case before You on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of Your manifold compassions, O Yahweh.
9:20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication (H8469- supplication for favor) before Yahweh my God for the holy mountain of my God;
9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation (grain offering).
Gabriel showed Daniel the vision of the 70 weeks prophecy. Which in a nutshell included the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the end of the priesthood and its sacrifices and ordinances. The end of sin atonement by blood sacrifice. That Messiah shall atone for your sins and not some priest or ritual. The bringing in of everlasting righteousness which is justice according to His laws. To prophecies of the first Advent to be ratified. And the anointing of the Most Holy One, which was done by Mary.
Mercy was shown to those who were lovingly-commited to Yahweh during their captivity. They were even favored by the Babylonians and were promoted to important positions.
Again we see that by prayer, repentance, and obedience, Yahweh keeps His loving-commitment to His lovingly-commited ones.
Hosea was a countryman. Hosea was a tender-hearted man, as so often the true countryman is. He was a man of the northern Kingdom of Israel.
Hosea was a lovingly-commited one to his kinsman and to Yahweh.
Hosea symbolized that which was being enacted on a national scale in the life of his countrymen in the Kingdom of Israel.
In the Song of Solomon, the people of Israel stood in the relationship of wife to Yahweh; betrothed, married, faithless, and divorced as a result of that faithlessness, also, that the prophetical books take up the story and foretell her re-betrothal.
Here, in the life of Hosea, we have a complete symbolism of that picture.
Hosea 1:2 The beginning of the word of Yahweh by Hosea. And Yahweh said to Hosea, Go, take unto you a wife of whoredoms (improper foreign relations) and children of whoredoms (improper foreign relations): for the land hath committed great whoredom (international religious fornication), departing from Yahweh.
Whoredoms comes from several Hebrew words. Depending on which one is used in the context, they can mean: play the harlot, prostitution, adultery, fornication, idolatry, infidelity, unfaithfulness to Yahweh, international religious fornication, improper foreign relations, improper religious fornication. This is all about idolatry which always includes worship of foreign gods, illicit sex, interracial sex, child sacrifice, and every other abominations that Yahweh hates. Basically today's society.
So Hosea went and took Gomer, which means 'completion' and represents the old kingdom which had overflowed with sin. Gomer's father Diblaim, which means 'two cakes' represents the houses of Judah and Israel.
The son Gomer bare was Jezreel, which means 'God sows'. This son represents a sign of their return to Yahweh in the latter days.
Hosea 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Loruhamah, means 'no mercy' or 'uncompassionated'.
The house of Israel had been much further into apostasy than the house of Judah.
Israel was told through the prophet that they would be utterly taken away. The Assyrians had already been taking away and resettling other nations, and the Assyrian threat to the sovereignty of Israel was already evident .
1:7 But I will have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Israel would be carried away, as well as most of Judah. The Assyrians carried away 46 fenced cities of Judah, many thousands of its people, along with Israel.
However the inhabitants of Jerusalem were not taken, and the kingdom remained intact in spite of losing many of its cities. Judah would be preserved from the Assyrian conquests because of Hezekiah's reforms.
Hosea's second child (Ruhamah) was a mercy sign to the royal house of Judah.
Hosea's third child (Loammi) was a sign of the disappearance even of the name by which Yahweh's people had been known.
Loammi means 'not My people'.
This is a prophecy of the children of Israel, that they would not be considered to be the children of Yahweh any longer, not because Yahweh is disclaiming them, but because they were cast off in punishment. The gospel message was the good news that they were His people. In their migrations into the empire and then into Europe they had forgotten their heritage, who they were and Whose they were, hence 'lost' sheep.
Ammi means My people, and Rica means plenteous land. Hence America, the regathering place of all twelve tribes.
Hosea 2:1 Say you unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah (H7355- compassion).
Ammi is 'My people', and Ruhamah is 'to have mercy'. We are not continuing from the last verse of chapter 1 here. Rather, the end of chapter 1 looks to the future reconciliation of Yahweh and Israel, which cannot happen until the first coming of Christ, which was not done with weapons. Israel is being divorced by Yahweh here. Here in chapter 2 the focus shifts back to Hosea's own time, where the final warnings are issued to Israel, the wife of Yahweh, concerning her adultery.
2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms (improper foreign relations with alien gods) out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. (Jer 13:22, Amos 8:11)
2:4 And I will not have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms (improper foreign relations with alien gods).
Because Israel went after other peoples and gods Yahweh punished them. But because of H2617, chesed, the promise made with Abraham, Yahweh will not totally destroy all Israel but will show loving-commitment by preserving them wherever they went.
2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
The wilderness of Europe was unsettled.
2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith Yahweh, that you shalt call Me Ishi; and shalt call Me no more Baali (The LORD).
2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
What do the 33,000 so-called christian denominations call Yahweh? The LORD.
2:19 And I will betroth you unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth you unto Me in righteousness, and in judgment (justice), and in lovingkindness (H2617- loving-commitment), and in mercies (H7356- deep compassions).
2:23 And I will sow her unto Me in the earth (land); and I will have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon her that had not obtained mercy (H7355- compassion); and I will say to them which were not My people, You art My people; and they shall say, You art My God.
So, as by the sign of the adulterous and restored wife, representing an Adamic people ('I will sow her unto Me in the land') so, by the sign of the son (Jezreel) they 'which were not My people shall say “You art my God”' we see the ultimate victory of Yahweh's love (H2617- loving-commitment) and forgiveness to those to whom He stands, in that closest of all relationships, 'Husband' and 'Father'. Thus once again, Yahweh's relationship to national Israel, as an entity, and to individual Israelites, is revealed.
Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel: for Yahweh hath a controversy (legal case) with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), nor knowledge of God in the land.
A famine in the land, then and today. A famine of loving-commitment in our people, then and today.
Then, they knew they were worshiping other gods, and didn't care.
Today, our people believe they are worshiping Yahweh when they are not and don't even know it. They are going to be gnashing some teeth when they realize Jesus was not Jewish, that they are not 'saved', that there's no rapture, and they disqualified themselves from grace and mercy, which is loving-commitment which they did not give to Yahweh. They gave it all to Hymie.
Mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and truth are used 21 times together. Everytime, it is connecting the children of Jacob with mercy and truth.
It matters what we believe.
Lovingly-commited ones of the seed of Jacob receive loving-commitment from Yahweh.
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto Yahweh: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
In chapter 6 is given a remarkable 'three day' period.
It follows the passage in which Yahweh's favor is declared to be withdrawn. (Hos 5:6)
6:4 (Yahweh speaking) O Ephraim, what shall I do unto you? O Judah, what shall I do unto you? for your goodness (H2617- loving-commitment) is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth: and your judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6:6 For I desired mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
6:7 But they like men (Adam) have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment); break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Yahweh, till He come and rain righteousness upon you.
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith Yahweh to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
10:13 Ye have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you didst trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Hosea 12:3 He (Jacob) took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: (Gen 25:26, 32:28)
The Hebrew ends verse 3 as: “...and by his manly vigour he persevered (overcame) with an Elohiym (divine messenger)”. Which is why Yahweh changed his name to Israel.
12:4 Yea, he had power over the angel (messenger), and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him (H2603- sought his favor): he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us (Elohiym); (Gen 28:10-22, 32:28)
12:5 Even Yahweh God of hosts; Yahweh is his memorial.
12:6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and judgment (justice), and wait on your God continually.
Again, the 2 great commandments from Matthew 22:38, here in the OT. Have loving-commitment to your Elohiym, and to your brethren. Only then shall you receive loving-commitment.
Chapter 14 starts here in the Hebrew.
13:16 (Hoshea 14:1) Samaria (the northern kingdom of Israel) shall become desolate (be held guilty); for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
This is an immediate prophecy concerning the house of Israel, and its destruction at the hands of the Assyrians.
Hosea 14:1 (14:2) O Israel, return unto Yahweh your God; for you hast fallen by your iniquity.
14:2 (14:3) Take with you words, and (re)turn to Yahweh: say unto Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously (H2895- favourably): so will we render the calves of our lips (we will give praise as a sacrifice).
The Septuagint Greek has the Hebrew word for calves metaphorically, as fruit. The phrase may have a double meaning, referring also to the calves which were idols in Israel, that if Yahweh were to remove the iniquity, His people were also to remove the idolatry from their mouths.
14:3 (14:4) Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands (their idols), Ye are our gods: for in You (speaking of Yahweh) the fatherless findeth mercy (H7355- compassion).
Idols have no power to grant either salvation or mercy. Neither does Jewish Jesus.
In Hosea, Yahweh has lifted His compassion and mercy from the house of Israel because of their international and foreign relations and idolatry. But that because of His promise to Abraham and His loving-commitment to the seed of Jacob He provides a path back to Him after punishment is dealt.
The prophecies of our people being regathered are told in an allegory with Hosea's children who represent Israel and Judah and how they lost their identity as Yahweh's people but were promised reconciliation, compassion and merciful loving-commitment.
That Yahweh desires loving-commitment and true knowledge of Him instead of sacrifice and worthless offerings.
We see that mercy and grace are still exclusively with the lovingly-commited Israelites.
Joel 2:11 And Yahweh shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that (because strength) executeth His word: for the day of Yahweh is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
2:12 Therefore also now, saith Yahweh, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and (re)turn unto Yahweh your God: for He is gracious (H2587) and merciful (H7349- compassionate), slow to anger, and of great kindness (H2617- loving-commitment), and repenteth (regretful) Him of the evil (harm).
Even in their destruction, Yahweh shall have mercy and compassion upon His people if they repent. The call for them to rend their hearts, and not their garments, is a call to sincere repentance, and not a mere lip service. There will be no defense against the invaders, for Yahweh has already passed judgment, and the destruction of the kingdom is certain. Only a repentant heart and a willful turn in obedience to God shall determine one's survival.
In Joel, mercy requires a call to repentance and a change of ways and mind. To return to Yahweh with loving-commitment.
Amos 1:11 Thus saith Yahweh; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity (H7356- all compassion), and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
1:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. (Isa 34:5-17, 63:1-6; Jer 49:7-22; Eze 25:12-14, 35:1-15; Obadiah; Mal 1:2-5)
The Canaanite and Edomite Jews have pertetual hatred and anger for the children of Israel.
The Edomites are Esau's children whom are half brothers with the satanic line of Cain. Yahweh said in Genesis that the seed of the usurper and the seed of the woman will always have enmity with each other. That is why He will always favor us with His loving-commitment if we remain in His ways and go not in the ways of Cain and Esau.
Amos 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so Yahweh, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that Yahweh God of hosts will be gracious (H2603- merciful) unto the remnant of Joseph.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Yahweh is chastising those in Israel who have committed evils, and those who seek good are to oppose them as well. We are to abhor wickedness and judge it in the gate, which means before it enters.
We clearly see in Amos that the children of Jacob are the vessels fit for mercy, and the children of Esau are the vessels fit for destruction because they show no mercy, and because there is no compassion in devils.
Jonah 2:8 They that observe lying vanities (idols) (false worthlessnesses) (lies) forsake their own mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
BOOM! How about that verse for the 'churches'?!
Let me translate that in Judeo language.
'You Judeos and 33,000 so-called christian denominations that are observing lies and believing false doctrine are forsaking your own MERCY, you are forsaking your free loving-commitment from Yahweh for a Jewish Jesus!'
The king of Nineveh, once he heard Jonah's warning, evidently took it to heart, and issued a proclamation demanding that his entire kingdom repent from any and all wickedness.
Jonah 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
4:2 And he prayed unto Yahweh, and said, I pray You, O Yahweh, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that You art a gracious (H2587) God, and merciful (H7349- compassionate), slow to anger, and of great kindness (H2617- loving-commitment), and repentest You (relented, changed Your mind) of the evil (harm, punishment).
Jonah was angry that Yahweh did not destroy Nineveh. Why? It is during this very time that Assyria, having arisen as a great empire, began to threaten the existence of Israel and Judah as sovereign states.
As Jonah went out of the city to see what would happen, Yahweh made a gourd grow up over his head to deliver him from his grief, and he was glad for it. Then Yahweh had a worm destroy it. When the sun rose and beat upon Jonah he wished to die.
4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest you well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
4:10 Then said Yahweh, You hast had pity (H2347) on the gourd, for the which you hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
4:11 And should not I spare (H2347- pardon) Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons (Adamites H120) that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
There were in Nineveh 120,000 Adamic people who knew not the difference between what was good and what was evil.
Assyria represented the gourd that sheltered Jonah, and then withered.
The Assyrians were a judgment from Yahweh upon Israel to punish them, and spare the ones that repented and returned to Yahweh. The Assyrians were afterwards conquered by the Babylonians.
In Jonah, the people of Nineveh were Assyrians, descendants of Asshur the son of Shem. They were racial kinsmen with the Israelites. That's why the repentant children of Asshur received mercy.
Micah 6:6 (Micah speaking) Wherewith shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
6:7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
6:8 He hath shewed you, O man (Adam), what is good; and what doth Yahweh require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 7:2 The good (H2623- lovingly-commited one) man is perished out of the earth (land): and there is none upright among men (Adam): they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
The seeking of wealth in merchandise and trade with alien races for which Israel was explicitly chastised in the prophecies of Amos, Hosea and Micah, leads to competition and division amongst brethren, which in turn makes the brethren less lovingly-commited to their own race.
7:18 Who is a God like unto You, that pardoneth (lifts up) iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy (H2617- loving-commitment).
7:19 He will turn again, He will have compassion (H7355) upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and You (Yahweh) wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
7:20 You wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) to Abraham, which You hast sworn unto our (fore) fathers from the days of old.
There it is stated again plainly. The covenant between Yahweh and Abraham. Praise Yahweh that He is true to His word and keeps loving-commitment to those that show Him loving-commitment.
Habakkuk 1:12 (Habakkuk speaking) Art You not from everlasting, O Yahweh my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Yahweh, You hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, You hast established them for correction.
Being corrected, all Israel is not destroyed but rather should be compelled to do the will of God.
1:13 You art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest You upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest Your tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
Habakkuk pleads for justice against the wicked, and that the nation not be entirely destroyed and asks of Yahweh why He would permit whatever righteous people are left in Judah to suffer at the hands of the Chaldaeans.
1:14 And makest men (Adam) as the fishes of the sea (meaning gathered as captives), as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Adam H120 adam, meaning the race of Adam.
1:15 They take up all of them with the angle (hook), they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
1:16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
1:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare (H2550) continually to slay the nations?
The prophet is describing the Chaldaeans, who Yahweh had said would take many captives of Judah, and the prophet is asking as to why because the Chaldaeans themselves were idolaters, even worshiping the nets by which they would catch men. That the Babylonians have grew rich in their conquest of other nations and shall not cease from their pillage.
Habakkuk 3:2 O Yahweh, I have heard Your speech (report), and was afraid: O Yahweh, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy (H7355- compassion).
'Revive Your work' is a reference to Jerusalem being rebuilt following it's destruction.
Habakkuk understands the coming judgment upon Judah and asks Yahweh to have compassion on His people and Jerusalem, to be merciful.
Zechariah 1:12 Then the angel (messenger) of Yahweh answered and said, O Yahweh of hosts, how long wilt You not have mercy (H7355- compassion) on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
The Babylonian captivity was for 70 years, and now that the children of Israel returned to Jerusalem, they were restoring the city and temple, but these other surrounding heathen nations were against them.
1:13 And Yahweh answered the angel (messenger) that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
1:14 So the angel (messenger) that communed with me said unto me, Cry you, saying, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Yahweh is jealous when we seek other gods.
1:15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen (nations) that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
The Septuagint reads: 15 And I am very angry with the heathen that combine to attack her: forasmuch as I indeed was a little angry, but they combined to attack her for evil.
The other nations participated in dishing out Israel's punishment. When they were in captivity, the other nations were at ease. When good is refrained, the bad have fun.
1:16 Therefore thus saith Yahweh; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies (H7356- deep compassions): My house shall be built in it, saith Yahweh of hosts, and a (measuring) line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Zechariah 4:7 Who art you, O great mountain (Babylon)? before Zerubbabel a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone shouting,, Grace (H2580- Favor), grace (H2580- favor) unto it.
Jeremiah 51:25 Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain (Babylon), saith Yahweh, which destroyest all the land: and I will stretch out Mine hand upon you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
Prophecy of the end of the Babylonian Empire and of Zerubbabel laying the foundations of the Temple when they return from Babylonian captivity.
Zechariah 7:9 Thus speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy (H2617- loving-commitment) and compassions (H7356- deep compassions) every man to his brother:
But they refused to listen and did not practice loving-commitment towards their kinsmen.
7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law (torah), and the words which Yahweh of hosts hath sent in His spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from Yahweh of hosts.
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as He cried (called), and they would not hear; so they cried (called), and I would not hear, saith Yahweh of hosts:
7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
The loving-commitment of Yahweh is free, but if you don't give it you won't receive it.
Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
Zechariah 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy (H7355- compassion) upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and will hear them.
Another prophecy of regathering.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace (H2580- favor, acceptance) and of supplications (H8469- prayers): and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Christ was of the house of David. The spirit of grace in every circumstance is towards Yahweh's children in the earth, the children of Israel. It's free to each Israelite because of the promises made with Abraham. It can't be earned, but you must be doing what you are supposed to be doing to receive it, which is being a lovingly-commited one walking in The Way.
In Zechariah, Mercy is a lesson Yahweh wants His people to learn. To learn to be lovingly-commited to their brethren. Besides idolatry and race-mixing, lack of brotherly love kindled the fire of punishment as well.
Yahweh's judgment on Judah was severe, but His mercy and loving-commitment did not fail.
The Spirit of Grace comes through Christ, who is a descendant of David, and Israelite of the tribe of Judah, a descendant of Abraham to whom the promise and covenant of loving-commitment was made to.
Malachi 3:14 You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of hosts?
3:15 And now we call the proud happy (blessed); yea, they that work wickedness are set (built) up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
3:16 Then they that feared Yahweh spake often one to another: and Yahweh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared (reverenced) Yahweh, and that thought upon His name.
3:17 And they shall be Mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare (H2550) them, as a man spareth (H2550) his own son that serveth him.
The Septuagint has 'and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him'.
1Maccabees 3:44 Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.
1Maccabees 4:10 Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure Yahweh will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:
4:24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised Yahweh in heaven: because it is good, because His mercy (loving-commitment) endureth forever.
1Maccabees 13:46 And they said, Deal not with us according to our wickedness, but according to Your mercy.
13:47 So Simon was appeased toward them, and fought no more against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein the idols were, and so entered into it with songs and thanksgiving.
13:48 Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.
1Maccabees 16:3 But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.
2Maccabees 2:7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather His people again together, and receive them unto mercy (loving-commitment).
2:18 As He promised in the law, will shortly have mercy (compassion) upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for He hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.
2Maccabees 6:12 Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.
6:13 For it is a token of His great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.
6:14 For not as with other nations, whom Yahweh patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth He with us,
6:15 Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards He should take vengeance of us.
6:16 And therefore He never withdraweth His mercy (loving-commitment) from us: and though He punish with adversity, yet doth He never forsake His people.
2Maccabees 7:23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of His own mercy (loving-commitment) give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your own selves for His laws' sake.
2Maccabees 8:5 Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of Yahweh was turned into mercy (compassion).
8:27 So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to Yahweh, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy (loving-commitment) distilling upon them.
3Maccabees 6:2 O king, mighty in power, most high, Almighty God, who regulates the whole creation with Your tender mercy (loving-commitment),
6:4 You destroyedst Pharaoh, with his hosts of chariots, when that master of this same Egypt was uplifted with lawless hardihood and loud-sounding tongue. Shedding the beams of Your mercy upon the race of Israel, You didst overwhelm him with his proud army.
6:9 And now, You who hatest insolence; You who dost abound in mercy (loving-commitment); You who art the protector of all things; appear quickly to those of the race of Israel, who are insulted by abhorred, lawless nations.
6:12 You, who art All-powerful and Almighty, O Eternal One, behold! have mercy (loving-commitment) upon us who are being withdrawn from life, like traitors, by the unreasoning insolence of lawless men.
6:39 The Ruler over all did during this time manifest forth His mercy (loving-commitment) gloriously, and did deliver them all together unharmed.
All the above verses in the OT were from the words for grace and mercy in Hebrew. The favor (grace) and mercy (loving-commitment) of Yahweh is attached to following His laws and commandments and walking in The Way.
It's all connected to walking in The Way of Yahweh and in the promises made with Abraham and the covenant made with the children of Israel at Sinai.
In every instance, Grace and Mercy, from Yahweh were exclusively shown to the children of Israel.
Grace and Mercy is the loving-commitment of Yahweh to His people Israel.
When we are doing what a true obedient child of the Most High is supposed to be doing, then we are being a lovingly-commited one.
Note: In the OT, the English word Grace is used about 43x, and the word Favor is used about 67x.
Grace and Favor are used in the OT as statements of acceptance. Being accepted or shown favor for doing that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
So in the OT, the 'grace' of God, is actually the 'Favor or Acceptance' of God.
The word Mercy is used about 259x, and the word Kindness is used about 36.
Mercy and Kindness are used in the OT as statements of compassion and loving-commitment. These are connected to the promises made by Yahweh to Abraham's seed and passed down through Isaac and Jacob and endures through the children of Jacob.
So in the OT, the 'grace' of God, is actually the 'mercy' of God, or the compassion or loving-commitment of God.
By God's mercy we are preserved (saved).
Now let's examine the word grace and mercy in the New Testament and from the Greek. The meaning does not change, and the theme and message is to the same people (race, family, seed) as the Old Testament.
The “church” does not replace the children of Israel as the “churches” teach. There was not one prophecy of the covenants and promises changing hands or adding anyone to them.
It must also be noted that Christ died for, came for, and is teaching, His people the children of Israel.
Yahshua Messiah is our Kinsman Redeemer.
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
In the OT, the priesthood was the mediator for the people to Yahweh God.
When Christ died, the priesthood and sacrificial rituals 'were done away with' and He became our High Priest and Mediator.
The favor (grace) still comes from the promises made with Abraham. Christ demonstrated the law and the example of how this favor comes to those who obey and follow The Way. Christ was an Israelite and obtained the same favor (grace) because of His perfect obedience to the Father, hence creating a path for us to obtain the same favor, …IF we continue in His example and follow His will.
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
The major definition of grace goes as such.
The merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon the souls of the children of Jacob, returns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith (allegiance), knowledge (of heritage and truth), affection (brotherly love), and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues (living according to The Way).
The people who obtain 'grace' are the children of Jacob Israel.
The message is of preservation and deliverance.
The merciful and loving kindness extended to the seed of Abraham.
The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies of our Kinsman Redeemer, Saviour, and Deliverer. The continuation of the favor (grace) which we receive because of the promise made to Abraham when we follow Christ.
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful (G1655- compassionate): for they shall obtain mercy (G1653- compassion).
Mercy is G1653, eleeo (el-eh-eh'-o), a verb, and means compassionate, (by word or deed, specifically by divine grace): - have compassion (pity on), have (obtain, receive, shew) mercy (on).
G1655 eleemon (el-eh-ay'-mone) is the adjective merciful and compassion.
The message in the OT of mercy, compassion and loving-commitment towards your kinsman continues here in the NT.
The Pharisees at the time of Christ were mostly of Edomite Jews that had infiltrated the Israelite priesthood and had changed the laws of Moses into their Judeo doctrine.
When Yahshua sat with tax collectors and sinners, the Jew Pharisees questioned His disciples about it.
Matthew 9:12 But when Yahshua heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole (are strong) need not a physician, but they that are sick.
9:13 But go you and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy (G1656- I desire compassion), and not sacrifice (offerings): for I am not come to call the righteous (to repentance), but sinners to repentance (a change of mind).
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy (H2617- loving-commitment), and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
G1656 is the Greek of H2617 in the Hebrew and means loving-commitment, which is part of the 2 great commandments. Love Yahweh, love your brethren.
The Jews pretended to be Israel, and pretended to follow the law, only using it to rule over the people.
The law should be obeyed, but Christ also taught to be merciful, something which the Jews did not and could not understand.
Yahshua Heals Two Blind Men
Matthew 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, Son of David, have mercy (G1653- compassion) on us.
The Jewish Pharisees condemned His disciples because they were hungry and plucked some ears of grain to eat on the shabbath day. Yahshua said to them...
Matthew 12:7 But if you had known what this meaneth, “I will have (desire) mercy (G1656- compassion), and not sacrifice”, you would not have condemned the guiltless (innocent).
Mercy versus the letter of the law. David and his men were hungry, not thieves.
Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy (G1653- compassion) on me, O Prince, You Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
15:23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
This woman was a Canaanite, but not of the serpent seedline of Cain. She was of the posterity of Ham's son Canaan, who was a result of incest. Though she was an Adamite, she was not an Israelite. Christ stated who He came for.
Matthew 15:36 And He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks (G2168- to be grateful, say grace), and brake them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
G2168 is eucharisteo and means to be grateful, to give thanks; specifically to say grace at a meal.
It's used in (Matt 26:27; Mar 8:6, 14:23; Luk 17;16, 18:11, 22:17, 19; Joh 6:11, 23, 11:41; Act 27:35, 28:15; Rom 1:8, 21, 7:25, 14:6, 16:4; 1Co 1:4, 14, 10:30, 11:24, 14:17, 18; 2Co 1:11; Eph 1:16, 5:20; Php 1:2; Col 1:3, 12, 3:17; 1Th 1:2, 2:13, 5:18; 2Th 2:13; Phm 1:4; Rev 11:17)
It's used in saying grace over meals, thanks for the will and plan of God in Christ concerning His lovingly-commited ones, and thanks in prayer.
Yahshua Fortells His Death and Resurrection
Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far (G2436) from You, Master: this shall not be unto You.
G2436 is hileos, and adjective meaning God be gracious, that is (in averting some calamity).
When Christ said to Peter ”Get you behind Me, Satan” He was calling Peter an adversary because His death was part of the plan and even though Peter's heart was right, he didn't understand the plan.
Yahshua Cures a Boy with a Demon
Matthew 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a certain man, kneeling down to Him, and saying,
17:15 Master, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
Matthew 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven (reign of the heavens is) likened unto a certain king, which would take (settle) account of his servants.
One of the servants which owed much could not pay. When the king commanded him and his family to be sold, the servant fell down and worshiped him and asked for patience and he'll pay him.
18:27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion (G4697), and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
G4697 splagchnizomai (splangkh-nid'-zom-ahee) which means to be moved as to one's bowels, moved with compassion from love and pity.
18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owest. (and cast him into prison)
So the king called the wicked servant and said...
O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desiredst (begged) me:
18:33 Shouldest not you also have had compassion (G1653- loving-commitment) on your fellowservant, even as I had pity (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on you?
Proverbs 21:13 Whoso stoppeth (shut, close) his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
If you want compassion you must give compassion.
Loving-commitment in the house of Elohiym only works when it goes both ways.
Yahshua Heals Two Blind Men
Matthew 20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Yahshua passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on us, O Prince, You Son of David.
20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on us, O Prince, You Son of David.
20:32 And Yahshua stood still, and called them, and said, What will you that I shall do unto you?
20:33 They say unto Him, Prince, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34 So Yahshua had compassion (G4697- moved with compassion) on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, (Jewish) scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law (Torah), judgment (right-ruling), mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and faith (The Belief): these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (Lev 27:30)
1Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
The Jewish Pharisees did not understand right-ruling by the Torah, they did not have loving-commitment, and they did not have The Belief, because they do not have the spirit in them. They are demons in a skinsuit.
Mercy in Matthew is compassion. Compassion that is loving-commitment which is shown by Yahshua to His kinsmen that either acknowledge, repent, or follow Him.
When G1653, 55 and 56 are used, it is the same as in the OT when H2617 is used. It is the loving-commitment of Yahshua towards the seed of Abraham whom the promise and covenant was made with.
Mark 5:18 And when He was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.
5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered Him not, but saith unto him, Go home to your friends, and tell them how great things Yahweh hath done for you, and hath had compassion (G1653, loving-commitment) on you.
Mark 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, You Son of David, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on me.
10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on me.
Mercy in Mark is compassion and loving-commitment towards His kinsman who were blind or were demon possessed. In Mark, there is a lot of demon casting, because when our people do not have true understanding and knowledge, are not lovingly-commited ones, they are open season for demons to enter.
Do you think the 33,000 so-called christian denominations all have Christ in them, or demons?
Maybe the 'churches' should be called Legion, because they are many!
The prefix re- is a synonym for again.
The prefix re- indicates a return to the previous condition, or repetition of a previous action.
Christianity is not a religion, it is a Way of Life, a heritage.
All the denominations are religions. Each one is a version of the original doctrine, or Word, or Way, but not the original. When Yahweh's Word is altered, it is anti-christ, and Yahweh will not dwell with the counterfeit, so that's when the demon enters. Hence, demon possessed when they re-turn to Legion.
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her (Mary), and said, Hail, you that art highly favoured (G5487- compassed with favor), the Prince is with you: blessed art you among women.
1:29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you hast found favour (G5485- grace) with God.
Favoured in verse 28 is from G5487, charitoo, meaning special honor, accepted, highly favored.
Favour in verse 30 comes from the same word grace comes from, G5485, charis, meaning favor, (as gratifying), of manner or act.
The manner or act would be following The Way.
Mary was an obedient Israelite of the tribe of Judah.
The full definition of G5485 is truly a display of Yahweh's loving kindness to us and proof that He keeps His promises.
Thayer Definition:
1) grace
1a) that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech
2) good will, loving-kindness, favour
2a) of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues
3) what is due to grace
3a) the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace
3b) the token or proof of grace, benefit
3b1) a gift of grace
3b2) benefit, bounty
4) thanks, (for benefits, services, favours), recompense, reward
Grace is not given to habitual or ignorant sinners, even if they declare themselves 'saved'.
The examples and definitions demonstrate that, though grace is free, we must earn it by being a lovingly-commited one. We must observe our heritage, perform our duty, live righteously, and for that we are shown preservation in this life, are blessed and highly favored.
He chooses us. We must respond.
Miriam's Song of Praise
Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify Yahweh,
1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
1:48 For He hath regarded the low estate (humiliation) of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. (1Sam 1:11, 2:1-10)
Psalm 138:6 Though Yahweh be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off.
1:49 For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy (set apart) is His name. (Psa 71:19, 111:9)
1:50 And His mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. (Psa 103:17)
Verses 48-50 are talking about the generations of the children of Israel.
Genesis 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you, and to your seed after you.
Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.
The context is Mary and the children of Israel, Christ's ancestors and future kinsmen. The Bible is about the family, the race, the people that are kin to Christ.
1:54 He hath holpen (come to the aid of) His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment);
1:55 As He spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed (offspring) for ever.
Elizabeth gave birth to John 6 months before Christ was born to Miriam.
1:58 And her (Elizabeth's) neighbours (kinsmen) and her cousins heard how Yahweh had shewed great mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Zachariah's Prophecy
1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
1:68 Blessed be Yahweh God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people,
1:72 To perform the mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment)) promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant;
1:73 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham,
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation (deliverance) unto His people by the remission (of the penalty) of their sins,
1:78 Through the tender mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) of our God; whereby the dayspring (rising of light) from on high hath visited us,
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 2:40 And the child (Yahshua) grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace (G5485- divine influence) of God was upon Him.
Luke 2:52 And Jesus (young Yahshua of 12 years old) increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour (G5485- divine influence) with God and man.
This was when He was found in the Temple being about His Father's business.
Christ had favor (grace) because He performed perfectly the will of the Father and set the example for us to receive the same grace (favor).
G5485 charis (khar'-ece) is a noun and means graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).
That just described everything Yahshua is and what He expects us to imitate towards our brethren and towards Him.
When Yahshua came to Nazareth, He went into the synagogue on the shabbath and read from the scroll of Isaiah.
The Greek reads as: 18 Spirit of Yahweh on Me, of which on account of He anoints Me to be bringing the Good Message to poor ones (in spirit); He has commissioned Me to be healing the ones having been crushed the heart, to proclaim (herald) to captives from letting (to pardon), and to blind ones up-looking (receiving of sight), to commission (dispatch) ones having been shivered in (oppressed) from letting (pardon).
19 To proclaim (herald) a year acceptable (receivable) by Yahweh!
Herald means to proclaim, to publish, to introduce.
4:20 And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
4:21 And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
4:22 And all bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious (G5485- Divine influenced) words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
They wondered at His Divine words because they didn't hear scripture that way before because they were all indoctrinated in the religion of the Jewish Pharisees, which was Judaism, which is the Torah of Moses perverted. You will notice in the whole NT that the synagogues were never talked good about by Yahshua and they were always astonished at the truth.
The same thing happens today. The 'churches' read and follow the grammatical and doctrinal deceptions which are in the KJperVersion and every other translation since the ancient ones.
That's why we must study the words, the meanings, the uses.
Love for Racial Enemies
Luke 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Speaking about our kinsmen.
We are to hate the enemies of God. Cain and Esau's children.
David hated the enemies of God and prayed against them in many of the Psalms.
6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
6:29 And unto him that smiteth you on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away your cloke forbid not to take your coat also.
6:30 Give to every man that asketh of you; and of him that taketh away your goods ask them not again (do not demand for it back).
6:31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise. (Tob 4:15)
6:32 For if you love them which love you, what thank (G5485- Divine influence) have you? for sinners also love those that love them.
6:33 And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank (G5485- Divine influence) have you? for sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank (G5485- Divine influence) have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
6:35 But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping (expecting) for nothing again (in return); and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. (Acts 14:16-17; Sir 4:10-11)
The 'unthankful' is a reference to verse 27, your kinsmen enemies.
The 'evil' is a reference to verse 30, those that take.
Mercy applies to all His people, and maybe your loving-commitment towards your selfish kinsmen will show them your honor and loving-commitment for Yahweh and He may be merciful and open their eyes.
6:36 Be you therefore merciful (G3629- compassionate), as your Father also is merciful (G3629- compassionate).
The references of Acts 14:16-17 state that Yahweh allowed the nations of Israel to walk in their own ways, but did not stop doing good to His people.
Sirach 4:10 Be as a father unto the fatherless, and as a husband unto their mother: so shalt you be as the son of the most High, and He shall love you more than your mother does.
4:11 Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her.
In other words, all the above lovingly-commited acts Yahshua instructed us to do, is what we are supposed to do. When we do our part towards our brethren as lovingly-commited ones we stand in the position to receive mercy and grace. If our unrighteous brethren does not change their ways then we have done our part and they will have to answer for their unloving-commitment in 'that day' and it may be too late to receive mercy and grace. If they do change their ways, they will be exhalted and Yahweh will love them more than their mother does.
Luke 7:20 When the men (John's disciples) were come unto Him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto You, saying, Art You He that should come? or look we for another?
7:21 And in that same hour He cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind He gave (G5483- graciously granted) sight (to be observing, perceiving).
7:22 Then Jesus (Yahshua) answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
Isaiah 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. (Isa 61:1)
When Christ gave sight to the blind, it wasn't merely so they could see.
Gave is G5483 charizomai (khar-id'zom-ahee) which means to favor, pardon, forgive, grant, restore.
Sight is G991 blepo (blep-o) and means to see, to discern, to understand, to turn the thoughts or direct the mind.
Christ was showing His loving-commitment to His people who needed a spark of Divine influence to break free from the doctrine of the Jewish priests. When we believe in false doctrine and counterfeit Jesus, we become sick physically and mentally and spiritually. Just look at the state of the health of our people. Yahweh promises us health when we follow Him.
Yahshua was anointed with oil by Mary when He sat at a meal at the house of a Pharisee.
This must have been an Israelite Pharisee as Christ never fellowshiped with Jews.
Luke 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden (invited) Him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth Him: for she is a sinner.
7:40 And Jesus (Yahshua) answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto you. And he saith, Master, say on.
7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave (G5483- dealt graciously with) them both. Tell Me therefore, which of them will love him most?
7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave (G5483- dealt graciously with the) most. And He said unto him, You hast rightly judged.
They were both sinners, but the woman showed more loving-commitment.
7:47 Wherefore I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
After a certain one learned in the Torah asked Yahshua how to inherit eternal life Yahshua asked him What is written in the law? how readest you?
Luke 10:27 And he answering said, You shalt love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour (kinsmen) as yourself.
Then Yahshua tells a story of a man who was robbed and left for dead. A priest and a Levite pass him.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion (G4697- sympathy) on him,
10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. (2Chr 28:15)
10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spendest more, when I come again, I will repay you.
10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest you, was neighbour (kinsman) unto him that fell among the thieves?
10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) on him. Then said Jesus (Yahshua) unto him, Go, and do you likewise.
The priest was likely an Edomite, the Levite who was an Israelite was likely an unlovingly-commited one, and the Samaritan was likely an Israelite living in Samaria.
Both in verse 27 and 37 the Greek word for neighbour is G4139 plesion which means nigh-one, associate, countryman, fellow man.
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
This parable is about the children of Jacob and the children of Esau, as both have Abraham for a father. The Edomite Jew priesthood were the rich a the time and they sat in Moses seat of authority in Judaea and lorded over the people with their version of the Torah.
16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime receivedst your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you art tormented.
16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
The gulf in verse 26 is the difference between where the children of light go and where the children of darkness go.
Ezekiel 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
II Esdras 7:3 I said, "Speak, my master." And he said to me, "There is a sea set in a wide expanse so that it is broad and vast,
4 but it has an entrance set in a narrow place, so that it is like a river.
5 If any one, then, wishes to reach the sea, to look at it or to navigate it, how can he come to the broad part unless he passes through the narrow part?
6 Another example: There is a city built and set on a plain, and it is full of all good things;
7 but the entrance to it is narrow and set in a precipitous place, so that there is fire on the right hand and deep water on the left;
8 and there is only one path lying between them, that is, between the fire and the water, so that only one man can walk upon that path.
9 If now that city is given to a man for an inheritance, how will the heir receive his inheritance unless he passes through the danger set before him?"
10 I said, "He cannot, master." And he said to me, "So also is Israel's portion. [11] For I made the world for their sake, and when Adam transgressed My statutes, what had been made was judged.
12 And so the entrances of this world were made narrow and sorrowful and toilsome; they are few and evil, full of dangers and involved in great hardships.
13 But the entrances of the greater world are broad and safe, and really yield the fruit of immortality.
14 Therefore unless the living pass through the difficult and vain experiences, they can never receive those things that have been reserved for them.
35 And recompense shall follow, and the reward shall be manifested; righteous deeds shall awake, and unrighteous deeds shall not sleep.
36 Then the pit of torment shall appear, and opposite it shall be the place of rest; and the furnace of hell shall be disclosed, and opposite it the paradise of delight.
37 Then the Most High will say to the nations that have been raised from the dead, `Look now, and understand whom you have denied, whom you have not served, whose commandments you have despised!
38 Look on this side and on that; here are delight and rest, and there are fire and torments!'
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to Him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High.
79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised His law, and who have hated those who fear God --
80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
Read the rest of IIEsdras to see what happens to the righteous and the unrighteous when they die.
Luke 17:12 And as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on us.
17:14 And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. (Lev 13:2, 14:2)
Only one turned back and glorified Elohiym.
Luke 18:9 And He spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank You, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican (tax collector).
18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful (G2433) to me a sinner.
18:14 I tell you, this man (the tax collector) went down to his house justified rather than the other (the Pharisee): for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
G2433 hilaskomai means to render one's self, to appease, to be propitious or conciliate.
The Pharisee boasted that he was not a sinner, and proclaimed his own righteousness through his fulfillment of tithes and his fasting, which is no better than rituals – things which men perform merely to display their own justification, as if they could save themselves through that display.
This also goes for those who, by their own declaration, claim they are “saved”.
Luke 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, You Son of David, have mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment) on me.
18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy (G1653- compassion. loving-commitment) on me.
18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
Grace in Luke is favor shown to the righteous. Elizabeth and Mary were highly favored to bear John and Yahshua.
Mercy is for them that fear Yahweh from generation to generation, which is to those of the covenant, oath, and promise.
Grace and favor are Yahweh's Divine influence on Yahshua and in His words.
Giving and showing loving-commitment to the brethren is not Divine influence unless it's from the heart and expecting nothing in return, which is what loving-commitment (grace and mercy) is all about.
Mercy in Luke is compassion and loving-commitment.
The theme of loving-commitment from the OT meanings continue.
The exclusivity of Grace and Mercy is still between Israelites and Yahshua.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace (G5485- favor) and truth.
Word in Greek is logos, meaning the plan. The plan of our mortal lives is to follow The Way and be separate from other ways. The model of the plan is Christ. He is our example. Imitate Him and you will be shown favor (grace).
1:15 John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for He was before me.
1:16 And (out) of His fulness (completeness) have all we received, and grace (G5485- merciful kindness) for grace (G5485- merciful kindness).
Favor for the sake of favor. Or Divine influence on the heart for the sake of Divine influence.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace (G5485- favor, benefit, Divine influence) and truth came by Jesus Christ.
You favor Him by obedience, He favors you with blessings. Favor for favor.
In the previous verses Peter states that David spoke of Yahshua, describing Him as Yahweh's Lovingly-commited One (G3741). That they have witnessed the promise from the Father of the Set-Apart Spirit which He poured out which they now see and hear, and that they had ignorantly impaled on the stake. And they were pierced in the heart and asked what should they do?
Peter said to repent, be immersed in the knowledge and understanding of Messiah. That they would receive the promise of forgiveness and the gift of the Set-Apart Spirit.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
2:47 Praising God, and having favour with (G5485- Divine influence toward) all the people. And the Prince added to the assembly daily such as should be saved (preserved).
The 'churches' are all one-versers and focus on the getting, or receiving and not on what they must do before they get or receive.
Peter heals a lame man. People were filled with wonder and amazement. Peter answers them. He gives Christ the praise for this, and tells them that they denied Him. Now repent, and act like God's children.
Acts 3:14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer (Barabas) to be granted (G5483- surrendered as a favor) unto you;
3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
This is no different than what the so-called Christians do, they deny the true Messiah and desire a Jewish messiah. They kill Christ and put Him back on the stake because they don't believe the true doctrine over their counterfeit church doctrine and they go around witnessing for the wrong Jesus.
That's why it matters who and what we believe in.
After the apostles were scolded by the Jew Pharisees for teaching the people of the resurrection and reconciliation of the tribes of Jacob, they returned to the people and prayed and spake the word of Elohiym with boldness.
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Prince Jesus: and great grace (G5485- Divine influence) was upon them all.
They were greatly favored because they followed The Way. Christianity is national socialism. When the race is of one heart, lovingly-commited to one another and to Yahshua, then Divine influence is upon all.
Acts 7:10 And (Yahweh) delivered him (Joseph) out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour (G5485- Divine influence) and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Not only was Joseph shown favor by pharaoh, but by Yahweh also who filled him with Divine influence.
7:46 (David) Who found favour (G5485- delight, pleasure, loving-kindness, Divine influence) before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Acts 11:23 (Barnabas) Who, when he came, and had seen the grace (G5485- merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Prince.
11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith (belief): and much people was added unto the Prince.
The message of redemption to all the Nations of Israel was spreading, and they were becoming reacquainted with the spirit and law on their heart.
The 'churches' believe that God's grace is free because He loves us. It is, but they fail to understand why we have grace and how we receive it. When they go out and convert people to their denomination, they are adding people to the ditch.
There is a difference between Divine influence and demonic influence.
Yahweh does not fill the 'churches' and Jew lovers with His Divine influence which they reject. They may feel they are blessed and that they are doing right, but in reality and in fact, if they are happy and successful in this life, it's because they already have their reward. As Yahweh has stated before, His loving-commitment towards His people never fails, it rains on the good as well as the wicked. It's the grace and mercy in 'that day' which will be given to His lovingly-commited ones and taken from those who rejected Him for false doctrine and Jewish Jesus.
It matters who and what we believe in.
Paul and his company came to Antioch and began to preach in the synagogue on the shabbath.
Acts 13:26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men, brethren, that through this Man (Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Jer 31:34)
13:39 And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Even though we are to follow the law, the law cannot justify us. The level of our obedience to the law is part of the level of justification. Christ didn't break the law, He fulfilled it. This is the example to seek and follow.
13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
13:41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish (hide from sight): for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare (relate) it unto you.
Habakkuk 1:5 Behold you among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which you will not believe, though it be told you.
13:42 And when the Judaeans (the Jew rulers) were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles (dispersed Nations) besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Judaeans and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace (G5485- Divine influence) of God.
13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
This gospel message was to the 'lost' sheep of the house of Israel (Matt 15:24). This 'grace' or Divine influence was part of the plan of redemption and reconciliation to Abraham's seed, ...IF they return to Yahweh and continue in His Ways.
When the apostles taught in the synagogues, the people responded because the true message of the Word was brought to them by the true disciples. The people were used to hearing the counterfeit message from the Jew Pharisees.
Acts 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they (Paul and Barnabus) went both together into the synagogue (assembly hall) of the Judaeans, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Judaeans and also of the Greeks believed.
See how if the synagogues were teaching the truth, they would have already been believers.
14:2 But the unbelieving Judaeans stirred up the Gentiles (Nations), and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Prince, which gave testimony unto the word of His grace (G5485- Divine influence), and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Then they came to Derbe.
14:21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith (The Belief), and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
But wait, don't we escape tribulation in the rapture? Oh, wait, that's only if you have your flight booked with Hymie Jesus.
14:26 (Paul and Barnabas) And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended (comitted) to the grace (G5485- Divine influence) of God for the work which they fulfilled.
Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace (G5485- Divine influence) of the Prince Yahshua Christ we shall be saved (preserved), even as they (the fathers).
Our ancestors were preserved in their lives because they followed The Way, and because of the promise made to Abraham.
Saved is another misunderstood word and it doesn't mean you are 'once saved, always saved'. Saved means preserved, meaning, act like a child of Yahweh's and you will be shown favor and be preserved while you live during this test called life.
By law, we deserve to be destroyed. But thanks to the promise made to Abraham, Yahweh will always keep an obedient remnant from each tribe to be the light of society.
When you live as a lovingly-commited one you are being Divinely influenced and therefore preserved by His loving-commitment.
Acts 15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by (being given over to) the brethren unto (by) the grace (G5485- Divine influence) of God.
There was some dispute between Paul and Barnabus about taking John Mark. Mark may have argued about keeping the rituals, not fully yet understanding the reason for Christ's death. Which is why Acts is a book of transition. When Christ died, the ritual sacrifices were still going on because many did not understand what had happened.
Acts 18:24 And a certain Judaean named Apollos (an Israelite), born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Prince; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Prince, knowing only the baptism of John.
18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Aquila and Priscilla understood the difference between water baptism, which was a commision given to John to cleanse the Levites and prepare Christ for sacrifice, and baptism in the word, which is the immersion in knowledge and understanding.
They took Apollos aside and explained these things along with the end of the sacrifices.
18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace (G5485- Divine influence):
G5485 charis, is referring to the merciful kindness by which Yahweh, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian allegiance, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.
It's Yahweh that chooses whom He will draw. This kind of grace is Divine influence which is given to those who are or will be lovingly-commited.
Paul was testifying to both the Judaeans (Israelites in Judaea) and also to the Greeks (Israelites outside of Judaea) of repentance and of The Belief (not the belief the Jews were teaching). He was about to go to Jerusalem knowing the afflictions that await him there.
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Prince Yahshua , to testify the gospel of the grace (G5485- Divine influence, favor) of God.
The gospel of grace. So did Paul go around preaching that “grace” overrules our sins and necessity to follow the law, to sit back and relax and know “your in” by declaring yourself 'saved'? Or did Paul teach that the gospel of grace is the favor that is shown to the descendants of Jacob because of the promises made to Abraham, and that this favor is shown to us who walk in Yahweh's law. And that this favor also includes the tribes of Israel that were dispersed and scattered during captivity and did not return to Jerusalem and eventually forgot the law and their heritage, and through Paul were shown and reminded that they too are under the same favor as the house of Judah in Jerusalem?
The message of grace is to the sons of Jacob. The Divine influence on the heart of those who will repent and demonstrate loving-commitment to their brethren.
Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace (G5485- Divine influence), which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Since the word word means plan, do you think it was God's plan to just give everybody a free ticket? Or do you think that God's plan was to have His children follow His orders and by doing so we are shown favor? Grace means favor and it comes from acting upon the Divine influence of His loving-commitment. We Israelites are all under His loving-commitment and are all Divinely influenced to seek Him, but we all do not respond to it.
The parable of the sower explains that most will not take root, many will be eaten up and choked, a lot will dry up and wither, and only some will take root and flourish.
Acts 25:3 And desired favour (G5485- recompence) against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
Part of the definition of G5485 is bounty, and recompence.
The high priest Jews wanted to kill Paul for teaching the children of Israel their heritage and that they were under the promises made to Abraham. That if they return to Yahweh they would be shown favor and be blessed. The Jews were asking Festus for a favor (bounty, recompense) against him. But Yahweh's Divine influence prompted Festus to keep Paul safe and properly try him in the court.
Paul, along with several other prisoners, are on a boat bound for Rome. Bad weather drives the ship off course and they are all shipwrecked on the island of Malta.
Paul tells them no one shall lose their life, and that a messenger of Elohiym...
Acts 27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given (G5483- graciously given) you all them that sail with you.
They were witnesses of Yahweh's saving grace because they trusted the Divine influence they saw in Paul. The people of Melita were kind and received them. Paul healed many of their sick and spoke of them about Yahshua.
Paul was a Pharisee by profession, and a sinner who persecuted his own people because of Jewish deception and influence. When Christ dealt with him on the road to Damascus, Paul was shown grace and mercy, which was Divine influence, because he was chosen by Yahweh as a manager of His household and bring them His word.
Every usage of Grace in Acts is from the word G5485 charis, which is defined and best used as Divine influence. With every use there is praying, repenting, conforming, learning, believing and testifying of the loving-commitment of Yahweh through His Divine influence.
Every instance of grace, favor and Diving influence is with Israel, and never with anyone else, or with the 'church'.
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated (appointed) unto the gospel of God,
1:2 (Which He had promised afore by His prophets in the holy scriptures,)
1:3 Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Prince, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
This is a lineal statement of ancestry, the same race, kin, and nation as David. The 'church' and anyone else was never promised anything in the OT or the NT.
1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
1:5 By whom we have received grace (G5485- Divine influence) and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for His name:
The KJV does not have 'the' in this verse in front of nations. This leaves the interpretation vulnerable to include all nations, which would make the Bible a universal book for everyone, which it is not. The original Greek has the definite article the, implying that this grace (favor) applies to those of the race of Christ. And the favor comes with obedience to the faith.
1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus (Yahshua) Christ:
Paul is stating that they are also of the same seed line of David. Many of the Romans were of the tribe of Judah.
1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace (G5485- Favor, Merciful kindness, Divine influence) to you and peace from God our Father, and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
The Father's merciful kindness and Divine influence is to the people of His promise.
1:8 First, I thank (G2168) my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith (The Belief of you) is spoken of throughout the whole world (society).
The 'whole world' here is referring to the Adamic world of Jacob/Israel. The known society. The Belief of you is referring to 'the faith', the truth, not the counterfeit.
1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift (G5486- Divine gratuity), to the end you may be established;
1:12 That is, that I may be comforted (summoned) together with you by the mutual faith (belief) both of you and me.
G5486 charisma is Divine gratuity. The spiritual gift of favor, knowledge, virtue, extraordinary gifts distinguishing certain Christians and enabling them to serve the body of Christ, the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating on their souls by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by His grace (G5485- merciful kindness, Divine influence) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith (The Belief) in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Only our past sins are forgiven at the stake (cross). We must seek to walk in Christ's example always. This keeps us in His graces. This proves we are responding to His Divine influence.
Verse 24 says “Being Justified freely by His grace...”
Justified means: To prove or show to be just, or conformable to law, right, justice, propriety or duty; to defend or maintain; to vindicate as right.
We are eligible for favor (grace) when we are justified.
Why would Yahweh favor those that do not maintain their duty? He may show the unrighteous favor in this life, but they will not receive it in 'that day'. Those whose hearts and minds are seared are really used as examples and learning tools and a test for those who are lovingly-commited to demonstrate their loving-commitment to their unrighteous brethren without expecting anything in return. If you are Divinely influenced by Yahweh, it doesn't matter what anyone else does, so long as you do what you are supposed to be doing, which is storing up your treasures in heaven, rather than enjoying your only reward in this life.
Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh (performs rituals) is the reward not reckoned of grace (G5485- Divine influence), but of debt.
The context is the sacrificial rituals, which were done away with when Christ died.
The rituals were the atonement for sin, the debt, which was only for the year.
The reward is from favor, not debt.
4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law (Torah), but through the righteousness of faith (belief).
4:14 For if they which are of the law (Torah) be heirs, faith (belief) is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
4:15 Because the law (Torah) worketh wrath: for where no law (Torah) is, there is no transgression.
4:16 Therefore it is of faith (belief), that it might be by grace (G5485- what is due grace or Divine influence); to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law (Torah), but to that also which is of the faith (belief) of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Grace is due by obedience to the Torah and by belief which Abraham had.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith (belief), we have peace with Yahweh God through our Prince Jesus Christ:
5:2 By whom also we have access by faith (The Belief) into this grace (G5485- Divine influence) wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope (expectation) of the glory of God.
We cannot have expectation of grace without true belief and allegiance. Allegiance is loyalty and obedience. You must have the true knowledge and understanding, not the counterfeit.
We must have The Belief to access the favor.
We must turn to the Greek for verses 3-5.
3 And not only, but we should also boast in afflictions, knowing that affliction results in endurance; 4 and the endurance a tried character, and the tried character an expectation; 5 and the expectation does not disgrace, because the love of Yahweh has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which is given to us:
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift (G5486- Divine gratuity). For if through the offence of one (Adam) many be dead, much more the grace (G5485- merciful kindness, favor, Divine influence) of God, and the gift by grace (G5485- merciful kindness, favor, Divine influence), which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Notice 'many'. Not all.
5:16 And not as it was by one (Adam) that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) is of many offences unto justification.
5:17 For if by one man's (Adam's) offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace (G5485- merciful kindness, Divine influence) and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Christ) the free gift (Divine gratuity) came upon all men unto justification of life.
Justification: The act of justifying; a showing to be just or conformable to law.
5:19 For as by one man's (Adam's) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (Christ) shall many be made righteous.
5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound (be great). But where sin abounded (was great), grace (G5485- merciful kindness, favor, Divine influence) did much more abound (was greater):
5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace (G5485- merciful kindness, favor, Divine influence) reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Prince.
Favor and grace through righteousness. Righteousness is obedience. We must be righteous to access favor.
The wages of sin are death. Without the promise we all die, Christ doesn't come, Yahweh's will is not performed by His chosen ones.
Again, grace is of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls (the sons of Jacob), turns them to Christ by Divine influence, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian loyalty, knowledge, affection, loving-commitment, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.
In chapter 6 Paul discusses the relationship between the children of Israel and sin.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) may abound (increase)?
6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
If you are not breaking the law, you are dead to the law. A righteous person does not need the law. The law is for the unrighteous. The law is still in effect and grace is not a free ticket to break the law. The “churches” teach that we are “under grace” so don't worry about the law because it was 'done away with'.
6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it (sin) in the lusts thereof.
6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, the promise, Divine influence).
6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, the promise Divine influence)? God forbid.
6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield (present) yourselves servants to obey, His servants ye are to (the one) whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Who do you serve? The Hymie Jesus or the Messiah Yahshua?
Verse 15 shows that when we obey His laws, we are under His grace (favor, Divine influence). Verse 16 shows that we are servants who obey either sin or law. If you obey sin, you get no favor, you reject Divine influence and His loving-commitment. Those who sin are not under “grace”. Those pew warmers under “grace” still sin. That is why we must repent and pray daily. Seek and study the Word.
6:17 But God be thanked (G5485- Divine thanks), that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Praise Yahweh for His lovingly-commited ones who were once servants of sin, that have responded to the Divine influence written on the heart to believe and obey His doctrine.
6:22 But now being made free from sin (forgiven), and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Prince.
Not through 'just believing', but through knowledge and understanding of truth, repentance, a change of mind and lifestyle, and through the loving-commitment He has towards us which we must have toward our brethren.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
The children of Jacob are the called ones. Christ is of this called seedline and is our example.
8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
The purpose is to imitate His example.
8:30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
8:32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for (the sake of) us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give (G5483- graciously grant to) us all things?
We don't freely receive anything by 'just believing' and claiming we are 'saved'.
We have a predestined purpose as Yahweh's children on the earth and when we do what we are supposed to be doing, in the name of Yahshua and truth, then we can receive what is graciously granted to us.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
9:15 For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy (G1653- loving-commitment) on whom I will have mercy (G1653- loving-commitment), and I will have compassion (G3627) on whom I will have compassion (G3627).
9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy (G1653- loving-commitment).
9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might shew My power in you, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth.
9:18 Therefore hath He mercy (G1653- loving-commitment) on whom He will have mercy (loving-commitment), and whom He will He hardeneth.
Mercy is from G1653 eleeo, meaning compassion, pity, divine loving-commitment. The same meaning from the OT words. Loving-commitment.
9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Referring to Jacob (honor) and Esau (dishonor). Esau is the father of the Edomite Jews.
9:23 And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy (G1656- loving-commitment), which He had afore prepared unto glory,
If you read the book of Obadiah, which is about the children of Esau, you will see that Yahweh has no mercy, no pity, no compassion, and no loving-commitment for the Jews and that they will all be destroyed at His coming.
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence).
Only a remnant keeps the Word, even today. The “churches” are not the remnant, they are a motley crue of 33,000 denominations who are deceived and follow the doctrine of Judaism, which is not Christianity.
11:6 And if by grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), then is it no more of works (rituals): otherwise grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) is no more grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence). But if it be of works (rituals), then is it no more grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence): otherwise work (ritual? grace?) is no more work (ritual? grace?).
The context is about the sacrificial rituals. The “churches” do not understand this and teach that it's not by good deeds that we get grace and that we get grace just because God is so good and loves everybody. Many places in scripture, especially James, teach that we must show our faith (belief) by our works. Favor is the free gift, or Divine gratuity, we get when we know and understand and follow Yahweh. You can't expect to get His Divine gratuity if you are not a lovingly-commited one with the right belief.
The Israelites in Judaea still retained their heritage and continued in the Torah.
Those Israelites that did not return to Judaea after captivity and had settled elsewhere had forgot their heritage and the way of the Torah.
This was because Yahweh had divorced Israel when He sent the Assyrians and Babylonians to punish them and carry them off. But He also promised their reconciliation, because He keeps His promises and loving-commitment to His people.
That's why their eyes were darkened and walked in darkness among the nations.
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), for to provoke them to jealousy.
Paul is saying for Judaeans who had the law, to not be jealous of the dispersed nations who did not have the law but are Israelites as well and receive the same grace (favor) as themselves.
11:15 For if the casting away of them (dispersed Nations of Israel) is the restoration of the world (society, system), what is their acceptance but life from the dead?
When Israel was cast off, it was because they were hurting the society with their idolatry and race-mixing. They became pagan, they were the walking dead. Yahweh's loving-commitment to them is the grace, or Divine influence, of reconciling them back to Him and their people.
11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Jacob was holy, his seed was called out, holy (set-apart). The branches here are the descendants of Judah namely Zarah. Zarah was the twin of Pharez through Tamar. Zarah's descendants left Egypt before the Exodus and settled Troy and later Rome. These are the wild olives whose branches were broken off. All Israelites that have forgotten who they were are wild branches. Our people sitting in their own pew on the day of the sun god are wild branches.
11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bearest not the root, but the root you.
11:19 You wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in (?)
11:20 Well (Corrrect!); because of unbelief (disobedience) they were broken off, and you standest by faith (The Belief). Be not highminded, but fear (reverent):
11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not you.
Paul was telling the Judaeans and the dispersed Nations that they were of the same tree, not to boast because they had the law and the others didn't. They were all of the same lump.
11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness: otherwise you also shalt be cut off.
John 15:2 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth (cleanse) it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
11:23 And they also, if they abide not still (continue not) in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Notice the word 'again'. Only something that was broken off can be grafted back to it's original. Remember, kind after kind.
11:24 For if you wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
11:25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel) be come in. (2 Cor 3:14)
To know the mystery you have to know the history.
11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved (preserved): as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
11:27 For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
11:28 As concerning the gospel, they (dispersed Israel) are on your account enemies: but as touching the election (choice), they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. (Deut 7:8)
Paul emphasizes that the dispersed 10 tribes are Israelites as well, so don't be jealous, they are your brethren.
11:29 For the gifts (G5486- Divine gratuity) and calling of God are without repentance (regret).
11:30 For as you (Israelites of the house of Judah) in times past have not believed (have disobeyed) God, yet have now obtained (were shown) mercy (G1653- loving-commitment) through their unbelief (disobedience):
The Greek has the last part as 'yet you were shown mercy to the stubbornness of these ones'.
In other words the house of Judah was shown mercy to the house of Israel who were in disobedience and stubbornness (mostly because of ignorance).
11:31 Even so have these (of the house of Israel) also now not believed (being disobedient), that through Your mercy (G1656- loving-commitment) they also may obtain mercy (G1656- loving-commitment).
11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief (disobedience), that He might have mercy (G1656- loving-commitment) upon all.
The 'you' in verse 30 is talking to the house of Judah (the Judahites in Rome). Paul told the Roman Judahites that they were disobedient too.
The 'these' in verse 31 are talking about the house of Israel (the dispersed). These were the Israelites that were scattered elsewhere after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities and forgot their heritage.
Neither houses were righteous. The House of Judah (circumcised) and House of Israel (uncircumcised).
When Christ came, He reconciled both houses under the Better Covenant. The Old Covenant was made with both houses as well, but the House of Israel did not return after the captivity and had forgotten His Way, they became pagans.
The “churches” teach that the New Covenant is with the “church” and the “Gentiles”.
The scriptures teach that both houses went separate ways and that the gospel is the message to both houses, to bring them back into understanding of who and Whose they are. The theme does not change. Both houses are Israelites and under the covenants and promises made to Abraham.
In chapter 12, Paul explains that we are all pieces of the same body, each with different functions. All meaning all of the descendants of the tribes of Israel.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (belief).
Paul was favored by Yahweh to teach the 'lost' and forgetful Israelites of the house of Israel.
The measure of faith (belief) is the measure of your loving-commitment to Him.
12:6 Having then gifts (G5486- Divine gratuity) differing according to the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) that is given to us, whether (interpretation of) prophecy, let us prophesy (interpret) according to the proportion of faith (The Belief);
Greek: 7 if serving, in the serving; or he that is teaching, in the teaching;
12:8 Or he that exhorteth (encourages), on exhortation (encouragement): he that giveth (sharing), let him do it with simplicity (sincerity); he that ruleth (leading), with diligence; he that sheweth mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment), with cheerfulness.
In verse 6, the proportion of faith is depth of knowledge and obedience of The Belief. If you follow Yahweh, He will show you loving-commitment and fill you with knowledge and understanding to interpret prophecy and the good message.
Romans 15:7 Wherefore receive you one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
When Christ came, He came to Judaea, where the house of Judah (2 southern tribes) returned after the Babylonian captivity. They were the circumcision. That's why scripture says to Judah first, then the dispersed Nations of the house of Israel.
15:9 And that the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel) might glorify God for His mercy (G1656- loving-commitment); as it is written, For this cause I will confess to You among the Nations, and sing unto Your name.
We don't use the term Gentiles because it was not used in the original writings. It's a Latin word which simply means a nation or race of people.
Gentiles should always be Nations, and it is speaking about the 12 nation tribes of Israel. Only Jacob's children are called sheep. The sheep of the house of Judah and the sheep of the house of Israel.
John 10:16 And other sheep I have (house of dispersed Israel), which are not of this fold (house of Judah): them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope (expectation), through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The 'expectation' is from knowing your heritage and what you can expect, if you follow and seek Christ.
15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness (beneficence), filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) that is given to me of God,
15:16 That I should be the minister (servant) of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel) might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Paul was favored by Yahweh to teach the scattered Israelites that forgot Him.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.
2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Avoid those who preach 'the doctrines of men', and for today Paul would warn about today's apostate “churches”.
16:18 For they that are such serve not our Prince Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
The Greek reads 'yet unblended into the evil'.
16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you. Amen.
Paul is telling these Judahite Romans that Satan will be crushed under their feet. This is a prophesy. He is identifying the Jewish ruling class, the Edomite Pharisees, Satan's children, and that they will be crushed. (Gen 3:15). This prophesy came true in 70 AD when the Romans (who were Israelites of the house of Judah) destroyed the temple under General Titus. This broke the power of the Edomites (Jews) and many fled to Khazaria, while the Catholic church gained power, and the children of Israel migrated through the Caucasus mountains (where we get the word Caucasian) and settled the nations of Europe and eventually America.
16:24 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you all. Amen.
In Romans, Paul continues teaching The Divine Influence of Yahshua Messiah to his Israelite kinsmen.
Paul is re-aquainting his Israelite kinsmen to their heritage through the gospel message. How Yahweh keeps His promises and covenants with Abraham. That the prophecies of their Kinsman Redeemer has come to fruition and that both houses of Judah and Israel are both under the reconciliation and redemption through Yahshua. That His Mercy and Grace is His loving-commitment to His people. That He is working His Divine Influence on them through His gospel and the law written on their hearts.
Mercy and Grace are compassion and loving-commitment.
Divine gratuity and Divine influence. How you respond is up to you.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
1Corinthians 1:3 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
He wants you to know your heritage, understand scripture, and be enriched by following His example.
1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Testimony should read 'proof' and Christ should read 'the anointed' meaning the people or group, the 12 tribes and 'in' should be 'among'. We are the proof of the called out anointed seed which Christ died for. If we are being lovingly-commitment, then we are confirming the body.
1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift (G5486- Divine gratuity); waiting for the coming of our Prince Jesus Christ:
'come behind in no gift' means lacking, or deficient of the Divine gratuity.
1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Prince Jesus Christ.
We all have the Divine gratuity because we are children of Yahweh and because of the promises made with Abraham, but if you lack in the knowledge of the truth and are not being a lovingly-commited one and obedient to The Way, then you will be lacking the Divine gratuity because by your ignorance and defiance you will have rejected it.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shalt be no priest to Me: seeing you hast forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
We do not have salvation because we 'accepted Him and believe'. We believe because we have salvation.
1Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things (thoughts) of a man, except the spirit of the man which is in him? even so the things (thoughts) of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
If you don't have the spirit (DNA), you can't know God.
2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world (society), but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given (G5483- favourably given) to us of God.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things (matters) with spiritual (matters).
Paul states that there is a difference within those of the spirit race and those of the earth.
The race of Adam is the only people, born from above, with the spirit of God.
Paul is exhorting the brethren in Corinth about envy and divisions. Some people liked to hear Paul, others Apollos.
1Corinthians 3:5 Who (What) then is Paul, and who (what) is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Prince gave to every man (assigned to each)?
3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase (growth).
3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
3:9 For we are labourers together with God: you are God's husbandry, you are God's building.
3:10 According to the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Paul founded the assemblies in Corinth.
1Corinthians 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Paul is referring to being single, unmarried.
7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Prince: yet I give my judgment (advice), as one that hath obtained mercy (G1653- loving-commitment) of the Prince to be faithful (trustworthy).
Paul basically states that if you are married, stay married, if you are not, don't. It was a time of persecution. Not a good time to start a family. But not a sin either.
This next verse is not saying you can eat pork. The context is food sacrificed unto idols, and the practice of loving-commitment toward unbelieving kinsmen.
1Corinthians 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed (and you wish) to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Prince's, and the fulness thereof:
10:29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but of the other: for why is my liberty (freedom) judged of another man's conscience?
10:30 For if I by grace (G5485- favor, gratitude, Divine influence) be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory (honor) of God.
In other words, don't be divisive over minor details. Loving-commitment is more important than pitching a fit over profaned food.
Now if that unbeliever invited you to join in the sacrifice of that meat to an idol, then you would decline that offer.
1Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts (G5486- Divine gratuity), but the same Spirit.
Paul is saying that every Israelite has different gifts, but the same Spirit. (DNA)
12:5 And there are differences (diversities, apportionments) of administrations (services), but the same Prince.
12:6 And there are diversities (apportionments) of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
Ephesians 1:23 Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.
The “church” is not the body. The 'ecclesia' is the body, the people, the called out assembly of the children of Israel. It's the people. Each person is a member of the group, the body.
12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
12:9 To another faith (belief) by the same Spirit; to another the gifts (Divine gratuity) of healing by the same Spirit;
12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy (interpreter of prophecy); to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues (languages); to another the interpretation of tongues (languages):
12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.
12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
The Greek: So then, you are an anointed body, and members by destiny.
Paul is preaching that the Judaeans and the dispersed Israelite Nations are of one body. Each Israelite individual is a specific part, and has their part. Each is important to the whole. We are to unite as a group, a body, and care for each other as part of the group or body.
12:28 And God hath set some in the church (assembly), first apostles, secondarily prophets (interpreters of prophecy), thirdly teachers, after that miracles (those with abilities), then gifts ( G5486- Divine gratuity) of healings, helps (supports), governments (guides), diversities of tongues (languages).
12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets (interpreters of prophecy)? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
12:30 Have all the gifts (G5486- Divine gratuity) of healing? do all speak with tongues (languages)? do all interpret?
12:31 But covet (seek) earnestly the best gifts (G5486- Divine gratuity): and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Chapter 13 is the love chapter. None of the things just mentioned are anything without loving-commitment towards the body of the Anointed ones.
1Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet (fit) to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church (assembly) of God.
15:10 But by the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God I am what I am (I am that which I am): and His grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God which was with me.
Paul kept the gospel going after the other apostles deaths.
1Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Prince Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Anathema is a Greek word meaning 'accursed'.
Maranatha is a Hebrew word meaning 'the approaching judgment'. The return of our King.
It can mean 'until He cometh'.
Mara means 'to rebel'. Natha means 'tear out, overthrow'.
Anathema Maranatha- He must be accursed, a rebel (he who is a rebel), to be destroyed.
16:23 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you.
2Corinthians 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. (Rom 15:30, Phil 1:19)
Speaking of prayers for protection and donations to help the ministry.
2Corinthians 2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive (G5483- deal graciously) him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.
2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
2:9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
2:10 To whom ye forgive (G5483- deal graciously in) any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave (G5483- have dealt graciously) any thing, to whom I forgave (G5483- have dealt graciously) it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person (presence) of Christ (the anointed, the group);
In I Corinthians, some of the letter was about a certain man who engaged in incest. The Corinthians were to cast him out of their community if he did not repent and change his ways. They dealt with the problem. If they followed the letter of the law, they would have been like the Pharisees, but they honored the law by being merciful. He apparently did repent and was allowed back into the congregation. We must strive to obey the law, but also have mercy towards our brethren. This is showing loving-commitment and understanding of Divine influence.
2Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry (service), as we have received mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment), we faint not;
4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully (falsely); but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
4:3 But if our gospel be hid (veiled), it is hid (veiled) to them that are lost (those being destroyed):
4:4 In whom the god of this world (age) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light (so that the enlightening) of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should (does not) shine on them.
4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) (having spread through the many, would cause thanksgiving to overflow unto) the glory (honor) of God.
If you believe in any of the doctrines of denominational churchianity, or believe in a Jewish Jesus, then you have been dealt the Word of God falsely. Because you have been blinded by the god of this world and His Jewish childrens fables, that the gospel is veiled to you, who will be perishing because the enlightening of the loving-commitment of Yahshua does not shine on those that do not respond to the Divine influence. But because of Yahweh's abundant loving-commitment, and the loving-commitment of your brethren towards you, you may be moved to consider The Divine influence and receive sight.
2Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God in vain.
This verse says that there is a possibility of losing grace as well.
2Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of God bestowed on the assemblies of Macedonia;
8:3 For to their power (ability), I bear record, yea, and beyond their power (ability) they were willing of themselves (they gave voluntarily);
8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift (G5485- good will-donation), and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
8:5 And this they did, not as we hoped (expected), but first gave their own selves to the Prince, and unto us by the will of God.
8:6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) also.
8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith (belief), and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) also.
8:8 I speak not by commandment (to give), but by occasion of the forwardness (eagerness) of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
8:9 For ye know the grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.
8:10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
If the Corinthians were really willing, they would have been saving up for a year, since this is the second visit to Corinth.
The Corinthians were a wealthy society, the above verses are referring to them helping out other less fortunate assemblies. Or the procrastination thereof.
8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the assemblies to travel with us with this grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence), which is administered by us to the glory of the same Prince, and declaration of your ready mind:
8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
Paul did not take money. And never asked for money. He wanted to remain above reproach.
2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Is “just believing” considered work?
Paul is teaching that if you give to others sincerely, Yahweh will give to you. Hence, grace, loving-commitment, responding to Divine influence.
Righteousness is following the law. If you show loving-commitment to your brethren, which is the context here, you are following all the laws. By loving our brethren, we are doing exactly everything Yahweh wants us to.
9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; He hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth for ever.
9:10 Now He that ministereth (supplies) seed to the sower both minister (supplies) bread for your food, shall supply and increase the seed you have sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
The Greek: 11 In every way being enriched in all sincerity, which through us accomplishes gratitude to Yahweh.
9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want (needs) of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
Quite different in the Greek:
13 Through the proof of this service honoring Yahweh, upon the submission of your agreement to the good message of the Anointed (the people), and sincerity of the partnership for them and for all,
9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of God in you.
The Anointed people are the children of Jacob. Anointed means consecrated, called, chosen. Isaac was dedicated on the altar to Yahweh, his seed through Jacob are the anointed people. The favor (grace) we receive comes from the promise made to Abraham.
These gospels and epistles are the good news of the loving-commitment and merciful kindness of Yahweh's promise to our people, and teaching us to be a partnership in unity. We each play parts in supporting the whole body.
2Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance (transcendence) of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan (adversity) to buffet (chastise) me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
12:8 For this thing I besought the Prince thrice, that it might depart from me.
12:9 And He said unto me, My grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory (boast) in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
“My grace is sufficient”, the “churches” teach this as if that's all you need to know.
The law is “done away with”, “just believe”, “we're all under grace”, “deeds don't matter. You're prayed up, paid up, waitin' to go up.
None of this is scriptural. And it teaches the attitude of “personal salvation”, and to just wait for “the rapture”, instead of National salvation, brotherly loving-commitment, and building the kingdom as a lovingly-commited one doing your duty.
2Corinthians 13:14 The grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of the Prince Yahshua Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.
The same message and theme of Mercy and Grace continues in 1 and 2Corinthians.
Every Israelite has the Divine Gratuity of Yahweh. Yahweh is lovingly-commited to every Israelite and every Israelite is called by His Divine influence. Not every Israelite responds to their calling.
Knowledge, understanding, obedience and being a lovingly-commited one is how you receive Mercy and Grace. You've got to give it to get it. It's all about the edification of the members of the body.
The Corinthians were a wealthy society and the message of sincere giving is strong, and the need for each member to do their part is emphasized in the teaching.
2Corinthians 9:10-11 And Yahweh who supplies seed to the sower, and bread (His Word) into food, shall supply and increase the seed you have sown in others and increase the fruit of your righteousness,
In every way being enriched in all sincerity, which through us accomplishes gratitude to Yahweh.
The circle of Loving-commitment. A Divinely influenced functioning body of the Anointed Ones. That, is simply how receiving Grace and Mercy works.
Galatians 1:3 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be to you (my brethren of the 12 tribes of Israel) and peace from God the Father, and from our Prince Yahshua Christ,
1:4 Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world (age), according to the will of God and our Father:
Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
1:5 To whom be glory (honor) for ever and ever. Amen.
1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace (G5485- favor, Divine Influence) of Christ (the Anointed) unto another gospel:
1:7 Which is not another (no other good message); but there be some that trouble (agitate) you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Paul is saying that others (Judaizers) will come in sheep's clothing and try to agitate or pervert the truth. He's warning of false preachers like today's “churches” who teach a false doctrine.
Verse 4 states He might deliver us. Might, being, maybe, depending on your knowledge of the truth and your loving-commitment to His Ways.
Verse 6 shows that He can remove you from grace.
1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence),
1:16 To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations (of scattered Israel); immediately I conferred not (did not consult) with flesh and blood:
Apparently Paul went to Arabia and returned to Damascus after His conversion and 3 years later went up to Jerusalem to see Peter.
Peter was the apostle to the circumcision, which is the House of Judah, Israelite Judaeans of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi. They kept and continued their heritage and the Torah. These are the people that Christ demonstrated the example to.
Paul was the apostle to the uncircumcision, which is the House of Israel, the other 10 tribes, the Nations (wrongly and deliberately translated as “gentiles”). They had lost and forgot their heritage and the Torah.
Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen (house of Israel), and they unto the circumcision (house of Judah).
Paul had to call out Peter who was entertaining the uncircumcised, and when the circumcised came around, he pretended not to know the uncircumcised. He said to Peter that if Peter, being a circumcised Judaean, lived after the manner of the uncircumcised, why compel the uncircumcised to live as the circumcised. In other words 'don't be a hypocrite.
2:21 I do not frustrate (refuse) the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If just following the rituals or the law saves us, then what do we need Christ for?
They were a schoolmaster for learning, for obedience and understanding. For growth.
Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
The written law of Moses was given 430 years after the promises were given to Abraham.
3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more (out) of promise: but God gave (G5483- has graciously given) it to Abraham by promise.
The covenant (promise) is not out of the law. Our free gift of salvation is because of the promise, but we can be 'blotted out' or 'fall from grace' or 'be denied mercy' if we do not practice and strive for the same loyalty and obedience of Abraham and Christ.
3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions (sin), till the seed (offspring) should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels (messengers) in the hand of a mediator.
Yahweh promised Himself to the children of Israel in the form of Yahshua, who is of the seed of Abraham, hence our Kinsman Redeemer.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom) wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
The liberty is freedom from the rituals. The yoke of bondage is the penalty of sin. The penalty of sin is death, eternally. The rituals were a teaching lesson that had an expiration date. That was when Christ died for our sins. The rituals and priesthood were needed no more. We are cleansed through the blood that was shed and now walk in righteousness when we don't sin.
Paul is telling them not to go back to the rituals.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Christ cleansed our PAST sins, if we are to become servants of righteousness, we must continue to be separate from sin. Of course we can't always, but we can constantly and consciously and sincerely make an effort always. It's the loving-commitment He's looking for.
5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (declared right by the Torah); ye are fallen from grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence).
The law of circumcision does not save you. If you are justified by following ordinances, or even the Torah, then Christ profits you nothing. This is also why the sacrificial rituals expired when Christ died. It had it's place as a schoolmaster. Anybody can follow a law or ordinance, they can just go through the motion and without sincerity. An empty act will not gain you favor and shows a lack of Divine influence.
The 'churches' go to worship Jewish Jesus on the day of the sun god, falsely honoring Him with their lips and continue their ignorant and sinful lifestyle. They believe that the 'law was done away with', that they are under 'grace' and are 'saved' because they say so, eat pork, and do not observe the manner of life which a true Christian lives. They lack Divine influence and have only responded to demonic influence, may Yahweh have mercy on them, or not.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing (has any strength), nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (creation, foundation).
1Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God (does matter).
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is on a renewed foundation, the old matters have passed away, see, all matters have become renewed!
The references of Romans 2:26-29 state that if you are uncircumcised but follows the Torah you are reckoned as circumcised. And more so than one who is circumcised that does not follow the Torah.
What also may be being said here is that when you come to the truth, and take hold of it, if you are not circumcised, don't fret over getting circumcised, just continue to follow the commandments of Yahweh and live as a lovingly-commited one.
6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy (G1656- loving-commitment), and upon the Israel (Anointed) of God.
Psalm 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
6:17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Prince Jesus.
6:18 Brethren, the grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Mercy and Grace in Galatians is still the loving-commitment and Divine influence of Yahweh working in His people that follow or return to Him.
The first 5 chapters of Galatians is all about the 'works of the law', meaning the sacrificial rituals.
They never 'saved' anyone. They only had a teaching purpose, and were a temporary atonement, and expired when Christ died. Many did not understand this and continued the sacrifices. Paul was teaching the children of Israel that both houses needed to be circumcised in the heart, meaning repent, gain understanding, and live for Christ, which is done by loving-commitment toward your race and living a righteous Christian life, which includes keeping His laws, shabbaths and feast days. The New Covenant is not new and with other people or a 'church'. It's a Better Covenant which only the priesthood and the rituals were 'done away with'.
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful (the ones believing) in Christ Jesus:
Paul is addressing his Israelite brethren in Ephesus. A saint is one who is of the tribe of Jacob. A saint is a 'called out one', set apart, chosen. Yahweh chose Abraham's seed through Isaac and Jacob and the children of Jacob. The people of the promise.
1:2 Grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:6 To the praise of the glory (honor) of His grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), wherein He hath made us accepted (G5487- highly favored) in the beloved.
1:7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness);
1:8 Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence (understanding);
1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in (within) Himself:
1:10 That in the dispensation (stewardship) of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:
As the seed of Abraham, Christ was the only perfect man, He set the example. We are of this same seed ('called') and therefore stewards of His purpose.
If your stewardship is supporting the “church's” idea of a Jewish Jesus, you might not be gathered with the stewards that understand their true Prince.
1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:
Only Abraham's seed was preordained for Yahweh's purpose and promise of inheritance.
1:12 That we should be to the praise of His glory (honor), who first trusted in Christ.
Those who were aware and had a part in it, meaning the apostles who walking with Christ.
1:13 In whom ye also after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation (deliverance): in whom also after that ye believed (understood), ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance (down payment of the Spirit) until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.
The purchased possession is the seed of Abraham. Not anybody and everybody.
The “churches” say 'everyone' is redeemed. But the scriptures say only Israelites.
The message of 'grace' is to the children of Israel. It originates from the promise by Yahweh with Abraham regarding his seed (posterity, descendants). It is the merciful kindness, loving-commitment, by which Yahweh, exerting His Divine influence upon Israelite souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian belief, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise, practice and Way of the Christian virtues.
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy (G1656- loving-commitment), for His great love wherewith He loved us,
2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) ye are saved (preserved);)
Christ is from the word christos, meaning anointed. It often refers to the anointed seed, the children of Jacob.
The Greek is more clear and accurate:
5 and we being dead in transgressions, are made alive with the Anointed (the group), (by Divine influence are you being preserved).
2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
2:7 That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) in His kindness (goodness) toward us through Christ Jesus.
'Might' means maybe. Maybe if you are among the number of those in allegiance to The Belief, you will receive favor (grace).
1Corinthians 10:12 so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall.
2:8 For by grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) are ye saved (preserved) through faith (The Belief); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
There is nothing we do for this favor (grace). It is a free gift from Yahweh because of the promises made to Abraham and his seed. A habitual sinner will not receive 'grace'. An ignorant sinner will not receive 'grace'. That is why it matters Who and what we believe in.
If we gained grace (favor) because of works (rituals, deeds), then we could boast that we saved ourselves. Paul is not saying the law or works are not needed, but simply that by following the law and being a lovingly-commited one puts you into position to receive the favor (grace). Following Yahweh's laws and knowing and keeping our hertiage is our duty, we are supposed to do it. Not be rewarded because we do it.
2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should (would) walk in them.
These scriptures tell us that favor is shown to those who walk in His Ways.
Grace is tied to the blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience.
If you are ignorant, stiffnecked, and a willing or habitual sinner, then the curses of disobedience will remove you from 'grace'.
Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation (management of the family) of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God which is given me to you-ward (in regard to you):
Paul has been given the stewardship or administration (management) of the family of God.
3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power.
3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) given, that I should preach among the Gentiles (dispersed Israelite nations) the unsearchable riches of Christ (the anointed group);
Paul was given the Divine influence to bring the message to the dispersed Israelites. The message that the scattered Israelites are also under the promise of 'grace' because they too were children of Abraham. The 'lost' (scattered, dispersed) tribes forgot who they were and forgot their heritage and had become pagan. Just like today's 'churches'. They have no idea who they are, they believe the Jews are the Israel of the bible, and they believe that Jesus was a Jew. They will not receive 'grace' because they reject the truth and would rather sit in their own pew on Sun god day believing lies. But the gospel is still for them, because if they are white Anglo-Saxon peoples, then with acknowledgement, repentance, and conformity they can receive the merciful kindness and loving-commitment by which Yahweh, exerting His Divine influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in the true Christian belief, knowledge, understanding, and affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the true Christian virtues.
Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
4:5 One Prince, one faith (belief), one baptism,
The immersion of the Christian heart in the sacrifice of Yahweh. Being immersed in Divine influence. Being immersed in truth, the knowledge and understanding. The one baptism Paul is talking about is not in water.
4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above (over) all, and through all, and in you all.
Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one Father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Everyone of us would be every one of the tribes of Israel, not everybody in the world.
The covenants and promises are exclusive to the children of Israel, as the scriptures constantly state.
4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace (G5485- favor, the merciful kindness of God, joy, delight, Divine influence) unto the hearers.
If you are communicating truth, you are edifying those who hear and understand the plan of Yahweh, which is to have all His children follow Him and in loving-commitment and do the same among each other.
4:30 And grieve (vex) not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: (Col 3:8,19, Jas 4:11, Tit 3:3)
4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted (G2155- compassionate), forgiving (G5483- dealing graciously with) one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven (G5483- dealt graciously with) you.
Give, receive. Deal compassionately, be shown compassion. Easy instructions to be a lovingly-commited one.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with all them that love our Prince Yahshua Christ in sincerity. Amen.
In sincerity is more than 'just believing'.
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Paul continues the same theme and message of Grace and Mercy in Ephesians.
The message of Divine Gratuity.
Constant greetings to his Israelite kinsmen as 'Divine influence be unto you, and peace from Yahweh our Father and Yahshua Christ'.
The message of redemption which comes from the promises made with Abraham.
That Yahweh is rich in His mercy and loving-commitment towards us.
That by His Divine Influence we are preserved in this life so we may be building the kingdom by bringing the message to our kinsmen.
That Paul is a manager of a household, which his job was to bring the Good News to the 'lost' sheep of scattered Israel. That they too are under the covenant and merciful kindness of Yahweh. They just forgot who and Whose they were.
That true doctrine spark's and edifies the Divine influence on the hearers.
Divine Influence is upon those who love Him. The real Him, not the Hymie Him.
Philippians 1:2 Grace (G5485- Favor, Merciful kindness, Divine influence) be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence).
Paul is referring to his defending of the gospel in public in the Praetorium in Rome, on trial. The Jews did not like Paul bringing the truth to his kinsmen. The Jews had the monopoly on religion and Paul was upsetting their authority over the people. To them, he was a traitor because he used to be one of them by profession.
Philippans 1:27 Only let your conversation (conduct) be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith (The Belief) of the gospel;
1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token (indication) of perdition (destruction), but to you of salvation (preservation), and that of God.
1:29 For unto you it (preservation) is given (G5483- graciously granted) in the behalf (for the sake) of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake;
1:30 Having the same conflict (struggle) which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
The “churches” teach “just believe”. And that you won't have to suffer because He's going to take you away in the “rapture”.
Scripture teaches that you will be tried through fire, and your works, and your belief in the truth will preserve you.
The truth is controversial and you will be hated for it.
Philippans 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him (Yahshua), and given (G5483- graces) Him a name which is above every name:
Yahshua is the example of what happens when we follow that example. We are called by His name and when we honor Him by living according to the Divine influence of His loving-commitment, we are graced by His name.
Philippians 4:23 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you all. Amen.
The theme is repeated over and over. The message of the favor of Yahweh's merciful kindness of redemption and reconciliation because of the promise made with Abraham's posterity through Isaac and Jacob.
Grace is NOT God's gift to anybody who 'believes', accepts Him in their hearts, or claims they are 'saved'.
The covenants and promises are exclusively with the children of Israel.
Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Sounds like the 'churches' disagree with God. Even identifying as 'Gentiles' they don't even believe the red letter words of Jesus which even says 'Go not into the way of the Gentiles'. They disagree with every word of God. They stand in their own 'holy place' and declare themselves gods because they define the terms of salvation themselves!
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful (trustworthy) brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Prince Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
1:4 Since we heard of your faith (The Belief of you) in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
1:6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world (society); and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God in truth:
The body working in unison. Yahweh provides the Word, His shepherds receive it and sow it, those that respond to it take root if it is sown in truth, and it brings forth fruit. The Divine influence abounds as His lovingly-commited ones continue sowing, and those fruits which produce, produce more fruit. Hence, the building of the Kingdom. Doing what we are supposed to be doing.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil (captivate) you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men (or any of the 33,000 other perversions of Christianity), after the rudiments of the world (society), and not after Christ.
Paul was spoiled (captivated), brought up by the sect of the Pharisees.
Paul knows he was on the wrong side before his conversion on the road to Damascus.
Paul was very good at persecuting Christians and was blinded by the doctrine of Judaism.
2:9 For in Him (Christ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead (divinity) bodily.
2:10 And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality (sovereignty) and power (authority):
2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ (the Anointed, the group):
2:12 Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith (The Belief) of the operation (working) of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.
Buried with him in baptism, or immersion of death. We all are appointed to die. But if you die in the truth, you will be raised also.
2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh (corrupt lifestyle), hath He quickened (made alive) together with Him, having forgiven (G5483- dealing graciously with) you all trespasses (of your offenses, errors);
2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;
2:15 (Greek) Stripping the sovereignties and authorities which He exposed publicly, triumphing over them in it.
First, no translations say anything about the law being “done away with”. The “churches” teach that the law was “done away with”.
The context here is about the ordinances and 'added' decrees by the religion of the Jews, which is Judaism.
The scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees took the law of Moses and perverted it into 'the traditions of the elders', which is Judaism.
The Jew Pharisees taught that it was against their law to do good on the Sabbath. That if a brother or even an ox were to fall in a ditch on a Sabbath, you, by their 'traditions' could not help them out.
What was Christ constantly rebuked for by these Edomite Priests? Healing on the Sabbath and that His disciples didn't follow the 'traditions of the elders' and wash their hands before eating.
These are some of the 'added' charges, decrees, obligations, or bonds, of their religion. The dogmas added by men.
So Paul is saying that since Christ died on the cross, the rituals and Levitical ordinances were done away with. In addition, making the 'added' obligations of Judaism of none effect. Now they have no authority.
The bible has about 759 laws. Man and his government has millions of laws. Did God forget to cover any bases?
Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds (practices);
The apostate, lost Israelite man, the old man who walked corruptly.
3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him:
3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Judaean, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
The last part should read: 'but altogether and in all ways Anointed.' As in a fully functioning body of lovingly-commited ones.
Each of those mentioned, the Greek, Judaean, circumcision, uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond and free, are all white Adamic Anglo-Saxon Israelites, kinsmen of Christ.
3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect (chosen ones) of God, holy and beloved, bowels (affections) of mercies (G3628- compassions), kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering (patience); (1 Pet 1:2)
3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving (G5483- dealing graciously with) one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave (G5483- deals graciously with) you, so also do ye.
3:14 And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond (joining) of perfectness.
3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace (G5485- pleasure, that which affords joy, Divine influence) in your hearts to the Prince.
3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Prince Yahshua, giving thanks (G2168- grace) to Yahweh and the Father by Him.
1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
G2168 eucharisteo is a verb and means to be grateful, feel thankful, give thanks, to say grace.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, good will, Divine influence), seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
As a lovingly-commited one, your conduct and speech would always be with Divine influence. The salt is the flavor of truth.
4:18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with you. Amen.
1Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the assembly of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Prince Yahshua Christ: Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work (act) of faith (The Belief), and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Prince Jesus Christ, in the sight of Yahweh God and our Father;
1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election (that you were chosen) of (by) God.
Truly lovingly-commited ones continue to encourage and support those who have responded to the Divine influence.
1Thessalonians 5:28 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you. Amen.
2Thessalonians 1:2 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet (deserving), because that your faith (The Belief of you) groweth exceedingly, and the charity (love) of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
1:4 So that we ourselves glory (boast) in you in the churches (assemblies) of God for your patience and faith (belief) in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation (repay affliction) to them that trouble (afflict) you;
1:7 And to you who are troubled (afflicted) rest with us, when the King Yahshua shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels (messengers), (Rev 14:13, 1 Thes 4:16, Jude 14)
1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our King Yahshua Christ:
1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Prince, and from the glory of His power;
1:10 When He shall come to be glorified (honored) in His saints (lovingly-commited ones), and to be admired in all them that believe (are believing) (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith (belief) with power:
1:12 That the name of our Prince Yahshua Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, according to the grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) of our God and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
2Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Prince Yahshua Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation (encouragement) and good hope (expectation) through grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence),
The children of Israel are the only people chosen by Yahweh, loved by Yahweh, married and covenanted with by Yahweh. He demonstrates His loving-commitment and merciful kindness by keeping His promises.
And again, a lovingly-commited greeting and a lovingly-commited closing in the name and Divine influence of Yahshua Messiah.
2Thessalonians 3:18 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you all. Amen.
1Timothy 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith (belief): Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Prince.
1:3 As I besought you (Timothy) to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that you mightest charge (command) some that they teach no other doctrine, (Acts 20:1)
1:4 Neither give heed to (Jewish) fables and endless genealogies (of mythical gods), which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith (The Belief): so do.
Paul is warning of the false teachers and the ones with a good heart desiring to teach but do not understand what they say or what they confirm. All those pastors of all those 33,000 denominations are exactly what Paul is warning about here. Those 33,000 so-called christian faiths are just other beliefs. There is only one belief and that's The Belief. The Divinely influenced belief. The original. When you branch off into one of those 33,000, then you are no longer of The Belief.
Paul emphasizes that it is good to know and follow the law.
1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Prince, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful (trustworthy), putting me into the ministry;
1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment), because I did it ignorantly in unbelief (disobedience).
Clearly one can be forgiven from sins committed in ignorance, as was Paul.
If only our ignorant preachers and “churches” will have a revelation.
1:14 And the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince was exceeding abundant with faith (belief) and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:15 This is a faithful (trustworthy) saying, and worthy of all acceptation (acceptance), that Christ Jesus came into the world (society) to save (deliver) sinners; of whom I am chief.
Paul knows he did wrong to the children of Israel, his own kinsmen, it's possible he feels that he was the first of the worst to be forgiven after the ascension of Christ.
1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment), that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern (as an example) to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting.
1Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) that is in you, which was given you by (the interpretation of) prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery (council of elders).
The Divine gratuity that is in us is because of the promise to Abraham. We are sinners, worthy of death, but because of Yahweh's covenant with Abraham, we will not be destroyed. That's why Christ died for us, so through knowledge and obedience with Him we will live. He chooses us. It's up to us to choose to follow Him. That's why it is wrong and arrogant to declare “I'm Saved!”. It has nothing to do with anything of your own doing. It's funny how the 'churches' teach that grace is a free gift that comes not from your own doing, but they will say that they are 'saved' by their own declaration.
4:15 Meditate (attend) upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting (progress, development) may appear to all.
4:16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine (teaching); continue in them: for in doing this you shalt both save (preserve) yourself, and them that hear you.
Preservation for obedience. The message of loving-commitment. Compassion and merciful kindness. Responding to the Divine influence.
Even if the 'churches' worship the Jewish Jesus and believe false doctrine, but follow the law on their hearts and show loving-commitment to their brethren, they would probably receive some level of mercy from Yahweh. But unfortunately, they don't even follow any of the virtues and or laws that come with being a Christian. They claim the law was 'done away with', eat pork, and fail to observe the appointed feasts and other traits of a true Christian with understanding of their heritage, who they are and Whose they are. So what are they really doing then? Nothing Christian. Being a 'good person' is not what being a Christian is. They are deceived and 'lost' and doomed unless they respond to truth when they hear it, and that only comes from Yahweh and His watchmen.
1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called (contradictions of the falsely called 'knowledge'):
6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith (The Belief). Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with thee. Amen.
Favor will be with you if you remain separate from these anti-Christ views.
2Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Prince.
1:6 Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift (G5486- Divine gratuity) of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands. (1 Tim 4:14, Acts 16:1)
The 'gift' is from the promises made to Abraham. It's like a birthday present to those of the household of Elohiym.
1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of (placement of sons), whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Being led by the Spirit of Yahweh, we are the sons of Yahweh. When we imitate Christ's example, we are placed into position of sons, eligible for the inheritance.
1:9 Who hath saved (preserved) us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Yahweh knew His plan for His children before the world began. His Plan was His Word, which was Christ, whom according to His purpose carried out His Plan and by it we have the mercy and grace if we live in loving-commitment to Him and our race.
Paul goes on to give thanks for those that were lovingly-commited to him.
1:15 This you knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus (foog'el-os) and Hermogenes (her-mog-en'ace). (Acts 19:8-10)
A possible reference to Phygellus and Hermogenes disappearing when Paul was arrested.
1:16 The Prince give mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain (bondage, imprisonment): (Matt 5:7, Philem 7, Acts 28:20)
1:17 But, when he (Onesiphorus) was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
1:18 The Prince grant unto him that he may find mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) of the Prince in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, you knowest very well.
2Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) that is in Christ Jesus.
2:2 And the things that you hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit you to faithful (trustworthy) men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2:3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2:4 No man that warreth (being a soldier) entangleth himself with the affairs (matters) of this life; (in that way would please He who enrolled him as a soldier).
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.
2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries (contends for anything), is he not crowned (awarded), except he strive (compete) lawfully.
2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure (maintain) sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears (tickling the ear);
4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Such as the “rapture”. It sure sounds great. “Just believe” and be taken out of here before the fit hits the shan. Christ wasn't “raptured”. He went through tribulation and now look at Him. His example is our path.
4:5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
4:22 The Prince Yahshua Christ be with your spirit. Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with you. Amen.
The spreading of the gospel is the spreading of the message of favor and merciful kindness, compassion and loving-commitment. The message of redemption and reconciliation to Christ, the good news of the promise of salvation through Yahshua Christ to the children of Jacob.
Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son (purely bred child) after the common faith (belief): Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and peace, from God the Father and the Prince Yahshua Christ our Saviour.
Paul gives instructions on setting things in order that are wanting and to establish elders in every assembly.
1:9 Holding fast the faithful (trusted) word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine (teaching) both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers (contradictors).
To rebuke those pastors teaching of their own understanding based on Jewish fables that turn from the truth.
1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 2:11 For the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God that bringeth salvation (deliverance) hath appeared to all men (of Jacob),
2:12 Teaching us that, denying (rejecting) ungodliness and worldly lusts (of this society), we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (age);
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope (expectation), and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
2:14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Gal 1:4)
Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers (various) lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) He saved (preserved) us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;
3:6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
When you answer the call of the Divine influence and you take hold of the loving-commitment Yahweh is showing you, you are renewed by His quickening Spirit when you gain true understanding and live by it.
3:7 That being justified by His grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence), we should be made heirs according to the hope (expectation) of eternal life.
Let's break it down:
7 In order that being justified in that favor- the favor to Abraham's descendants for his dedication of Isaac and for believing in what Yahweh promised.
we would become heirs- being obedient children, we would then be placed into position of son, now being eligible for the inheritance of the promise.
in accordance with the expectation of eternal life.- concerning the confidence, anticipation, and expectation from being obedient, of eternal life.
3:15 All that are with me salute you. Greet them that love us in the faith (The Belief). Grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) be with you all. Amen.
The Belief being the promises, covenants, heritage, history, and The Way of Yahweh's people Israel.
Philemon 1:3 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Prince Yahshua Christ.
1:25 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
More statements of the favor and Divine influence we share with our brethren for following Yahweh.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God should taste death for every man.
'Man' was added by the translators. Man is usually G444 anthropos. The Greek only has G3956 pas, which means each, every, whosoever, all. It should read '...for the sake of all'. 'ALL' meaning Adamites. Specifically the seed of Abraham. The context of the scriptures regarding All, Every, and Whosoever, always refers to the Adamic race, Israel, the seed of Abraham. Nowhere does the scriptures include the other races or the 'church' in the promises, covenants, heritage and inheritance that was given to Abraham by Yahweh.
2:16 For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham.
He was of the offspring of Abraham. Literal fleshly posterity.
The “churches” teach that you can become “spiritual Israel”. This is a lie.
The word 'seed' in Greek is 'sperma'. Sperm cannot be “spiritual”. Sperm produces “kind after kind”.
2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved (obliged) Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful (G1655- compassionate, lovingly-commited) and faithful (trustworthy) High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for (G2433- a propitiatory shelter) the sins (failures) of the people.
G2433 hilaskomai is to render oneself, become protitious, to be merciful.
His sacrifice is not only fulfilling His word, but by it He is making a propitiatory shelter for the missing the mark of duty (sins) of the people. The priesthood atonements for the people were only for that year. Christ's death forever atoned for the sins we repent for. That's why we must repent daily, for we sin daily. We can't just bring a goat to atone for sins anymore, we must bring sincere repentance and a change of mind and way of living.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Yahshua the Son of Elohiym, let us hold fast our profession.
Profession is G3671 homologia which is a confession, a covenant, an avowal or promise.
The promise to obey the covenant made with our forefathers at Sinai.
4:15 For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of (G4834- feel sympathy, compassion for) our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
4:16 Let us therefore come boldly (with liberty) unto the throne of grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence), that we may obtain mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and find grace (G5485- favor, Divine influence) to help in time of need.
If we come to the throne of grace empty or worthless, meaning not as an obedient follower, or even repentant, we will not obtain mercy or favor in times of need.
Chapter 5 details the reason for the sacrifices by the high priests.
Hebrews 5:1 (Greek) For every high priest, being taken from among men, on behalf of men is established in the things pertaining to Yahweh, that he would offer both gifts and sacrifices for errors,
5:2 Who can have compassion (G3356- affected by emotion) on the ignorant, and on them that are (being led) out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity (weakness).
Paul is showing that Christ was not taken from among men. He is God among men.
The Levites were assigned to the duties of the priesthood. They performed the sacrifices and rituals. They were also men and therefore had to make offerings for their own sins as well as for the people.
In chapter 5 Paul uses Melchizedec as a model to show his Hebrew brethren that the Levitical priesthood is not the end game.
Melchizedec is a preacher of righteousness. Adam was the first one, Noah was the 8th one. The oldest living patriarch was the High Priest of the order of Melchizedec. This continued until Nahor, Abraham's older brother. When Levi was born to Jacob, Yahweh appointed Levi and his children as the priestly tribe, this began the Levitical priesthood, which performed the sacrifices and rituals for the nation. This Levitical office of the priesthood continued until John the Immerser, who was the last legitimate priest. When Christ died, the priesthood and it's ordinances and sacrificial rituals expired and Yahshua became our High Priest and mediatior to Yahweh. So the Melchisedec priesthood started out with the oldest living patriarch from Adam to Nahor, (skipped Abraham and Jacob because Levi was born before Nahor died) then it went to the office of the Levitical priests, because the race of Adam became a large nation of people to govern, hence Levites in every city, and then to Christ who is the reigning High Priest.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath He (Christ) obtained a more excellent ministry (distinguished office of Melchizedec), by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
The law written on our heart and the acceptance of Christ as our High Priest. The old covenant was not erased, it served it's purpose leading up to the crucifixion. Now that Christ died for us, through Him we might have everlasting life. The sacrifices shall cease. (Dan 9:27)
8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
It was our inability to follow the first covenant (law) that was at fault. The Torah. The priesthood, rituals and oblations could never save you, They were just a schoolmaster to teach The Way.
If the first covenant had been the blueprint for salvation then Yahweh would not have removed the priesthood and sacrifices.
Christ would not have had to die and go to the land of the dead to set the captives free.
There would have been no need for Christ to die if the first covenant was faultless.
8:8 For finding fault with them, He saith, Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel (the uncircumcision) and with the house of Judah (the circumcision):
Notice it does NOT and never says anything about the new covenant adding the “church” or “Gentiles”.
8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in My covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahweh.
Our ancestors disobeyed and became an idolatrous race-mixing whore whom He divorced and cast off.
8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yahweh; I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people:
Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yahweh, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.
The context is still and always is the children of Israel. Then and now. The same and only people (True Anglo-Saxon Israel). Christ's sacrifice was the reconciling and regathering of His divorced and cast off people.
8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
Yahweh: for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.
Hence, the gospel. The promise of our Kinsman Redeemer.
8:12 For I will be merciful (G2436- propitious) to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
8:13 In that He saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
The old covenant was the written law, meant as a model and for teaching and understanding of The Way. The new covenant was the law written in our hearts. The days of the priesthood are over and now we are in a 'grace' period until our Prince returns. He continues His loving-commitment and working His Divine Influence in us and those of us who respond to it will be considered for marriage when He returns.
If you are not practicing the law, you are an adversary and breaking the law voluntarily.
Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy (G3628- compassion, pity) under two or three witnesses:
10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy (deserve), who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto (insulted) the Spirit of grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence)?
10:30 For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith Yahweh. And again, Yahweh shall judge His people.
Paul encourages his kinsmen to endure the afflictions and struggles in this society which come to those who have been enlightened with Divine influence.
10:34 For you had compassion (G4834- sympathy) of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence (boldness of belief), which hath great recompence of reward.
'recompence of reward is G3405 misthapodosia which means hire, or reward, from giving.
10:36 For you have need of patience (endurance), that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
Receive is G2865 kolumbao (kom-id'zo) which means to recover what was previously one's own.
When we show mercy and compassion and loving-commitment, we receive misthapodosia. Reward from being a lovingly-commited one under the Divine influence of Yahweh. We recover komidzo, the promised blessing.
This mortal life is all about following The Way and in doing so we recover all those wonderful things Yahweh has promised us which we have lost due to our sinful nature. That's why this life is an ongoing test. That's why none of us are 'saved' yet. We are constantly recovering what the Jews have caused us to give up.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud (group) of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight (burden, hindrance) , and the sin which doth so easily beset (entangles) us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
The entanglement that comes from the stumblingblocks set before us by Jews. Sports idolatry, Selfies, atheism, liberalism, homos, race mixing. All the things that Jewish run society pushes through the media and TV. These things remove us from the promises and rewards of being a lovingly-commited one.
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (The Belief); who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross (stake), despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see Yahweh:
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, belief, love, peace, with them that call on the Prince out of a pure heart.
12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Bitterness in Hebrew means, a beginning of a rebellion.
When we rebel we fall from grace (favor). Your example either leads or scatters others.
12:25 See that you refuse not Him (Yahshua) that speaketh. For if they (ancestors) escaped not who refused him (prophets, messengers) that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven:
12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
12:27 And this word, “Yet once more”, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
The things that Yahweh created, or planted, or that are built upon, will remain when He returns.
12:28 Wherefore we receiving (taking possession of) a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear (awe):
12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace (G5485- Divine influence); not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied (led astray) therein.
13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without (outside) the camp.
13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without (outside) the gate.
13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto Him (Christ) without (outside) the camp, bearing His reproach.
13:14 For here have we no continuing (lasting) city, but we seek one to come.
The Kingdom.
13:25 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with you all. Amen.
The theme of Grace and Mercy continues in Hebrews. Yahshua, Yahweh in the flesh, demonstrates His compassion and loving-commitment by being a propititation for us, fulfilling His promises to Abraham.
That by His Divine influence we are drawn to the throne of His loving-commitment.
That the order and office of Melchisedec and the priesthood was to teach us to obey, and what to do to atone for our errors.
That our reward comes after we have done the will of Yahweh.
That if we do not have The Belief (faith), then we are rebellious and are easily entangled in this satanic society and fall from grace.
That only in Yahshua and obedience can we expect mercy and grace, favor and compassion, loving-commitment and Divine influence.
James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Prince Yahshua Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
From Genesis to James so far, the message has been to, for and about the tribes of Jacob. Nowhere have we seen anyone else or the 'church' being added to that which was promised only to Israel.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, You shalt love your neighbour (kinsmen) as yourself, ye do well:
2:9 But if ye have respect to persons (stature in life), ye commit sin, and are convinced (convicted) of the law as transgressors.
2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy (G448- those who are merciless), that hath shewed no mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment); and mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) rejoiceth against judgment.
2:14 What doth it profit (benefit), my brethren, though a man say he hath faith (belief), and have not works? can faith (The Belief) save him?
You can believe what scripture says, but not do what scripture says. The 'churches' are guilty of this. They are actually twice guilty because they believe what they were told scriptures says. They were told counterfeit beliefs that are not of The Belief. Hence they are two-fold the children of the Devil because they call upon and follow him and his interpretations of scripture, which is designed to lead you astray, and it works almost flawlessly.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
'Church' doctrine is from below. True doctrine is from above.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world (society) is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world (society) is (establishes themself) the enemy of God.
4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Again the Greek is clearer: 5 Or do you suppose that vainly the Scripture says: “With envy yearns the spirit which dwells in us”?
Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
That's why we must continually strive to pass this test called mortal life, so by our conduct (works) we show our loving-commitment and would be approved for the next life.
4:6 But He giveth more (greater) grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence). Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) unto the humble.
The proud are resisted because they think they can declare themselves 'saved', trust in a Jewish Jesus to take them away in a 'rapture', and all the other false doctrine the 'churches' teach. They have influence, only it's satanic influence. It may sound harsh, but they do not follow and worship Yahweh.
James 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Prince (Yahshua), for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Matthew 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
5:11 Behold, we count them happy (blessed) which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end (accomplishment) of Yahshua; that Yahshua is very pitiful (G4184- extremely sympathetic), and of tender mercy (G3629- compassionate).
5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation (judgment).
Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
The Jews have an oath that they swear to every year called the Kol Nidre.
From the Jewish Encyclopedia.
"All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas (curses), whether called 'ḳonam,' 'ḳonas,' or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths."
The Jews, who are descendants of Cain and Esau, swear every year to not uphold their oaths. In other words, any oath or promise they make will not be honored by them. More plainly, they give themselves permission to lie. Only the Devil's children think and operate like this, and unfortunately they have taught all of christiandumb to follow.
James teaches to his scattered Israelite kinsmen that Mercy and Grace are shown to those who give it.
That wisdom is having compassion and loving-commitment without partiality.
That friendship with unrighteous society is enmity with Yahweh, and that Divine Influence and merciful kindness is given to the humble.
About 75% of Americans identify as a Christian of one of the 33,000 denominations of so-called christianity.
If any of those denoms were actually Christian, then this society would not be unrighteous and satanic. The society we live in today is completely satanic and nobody knows it but the Remnant.
Think about it. Everyone but the Remnant either believes in Jewish Jesus, or no god at all. What kind of society could it be if 99% of the people are in darkness?
1Peter 1:2 Elect (Chosen) according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of (set-apart by) the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace (G5485- Favor, Merciful kindness, Divine influence) unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Prince Yahshua Christ, which according to His abundant mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) hath begotten us again (engendered us from above) unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (Col 1:5)
1:5 Who are kept (being preserved) by the power of God through faith (belief) unto salvation (deliverance) ready to be revealed in the last time.
1:7 That the trial (test) of your faith (The Belief of you), being much more precious (valuable) than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory (dignity) at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
If you “just believe”, you might not be found praiseworthy. Yahweh wants doers, not just “believers”.
1:8 Whom having not seen, you love; in Whom, though now you see Him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable (indescribable) and full of glory:
1:9 Receiving the end (goal) of your faith (The Belief of you), even the salvation of your souls (a deliverance of lives).
1:10 Of which salvation (deliverance) the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) that should come unto you:
The prophets wrote about the coming of Christ for His people, that through Him, and through obedience to Him and The Way, the favor promised to Abraham will be attained by us.
1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for (set your expectation perfectly upon) the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning (conforming) yourselves according to the former lusts (desires) in your ignorance:
1:15 But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation (conduct);
2Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Holy means set-apart.
1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy (set-apart); for I am holy (set-apart).
Do this and you will have favor. “Grace” does not come without this.
Verse 10 states the prophecies from the prophets to Israelites. The OT prophets did not prophesy the salvation of the children of Jacob to the 'church', believers, Jews, or anyone else .
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation (race), a royal priesthood, an holy (set apart) nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light:
2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained (been shown) mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment), but now have obtained (are being shown) mercy (G1653- compassion, loving-commitment).
The “churches” teach that this is talking about the “church”, or the “Gentiles”. But Hosea as well as ALL of scripture teaches that it's all about Israelites.
2:20 (Greek) For what sort of report, if doing wrong and being beaten you will submit? But if doing good and suffering you submit, this is a benefit (G5485- Divine gratitude) before Yahweh.
2:21 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
Wives should be in subjection to their husbands. Their conduct sets an example.
1Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Mutual respect and loving-commitment. The function of a righteous union.
3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another (G4835- sympathetic), love as brethren, be pitiful (G2155- compassionate), be courteous (humble-minded):
3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing (abuse) for railing (abuse): but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
If a spouse is an unbeliever, and you remain strong in Yahweh, and set an example, the spouse may come around and receive favor.
The circle of loving-commitment works when you are being lovingly-commited even if you are not receiving loving-commitment. As verse 9 states, when you are being a lovingly-commited one, which is our Divine calling, we should inherit a blessing.
1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift (G5486- Divine gratuity), even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards (trustees) of the manifold grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God.
We, the children of Israel, are partakers of the promises and covenants made to Abraham. If we who have responded to the Divine gratuity and we edify our brethren, we are being good stewards of the Divine influence of God. This is what the gospel is about. Bringing the good news of our redemption and reconciliation to our people who are 'lost'.
1Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) to the humble.
5:10 But the God of all grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
5:12 By Silvanus, a faithful (trustworthy) brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of God wherein ye stand.
Stand tall in hard times, call upon Yahweh, support and respect your brethren and you will find yourself standing in true favor.
Yahweh giveth grace to the humble. That means those not humble may not receive grace. The 'churches' arrogantly claim they are 'saved'. That is not being humble.
2Peter 1:2 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Prince,
Knowledge and understanding of our Prince, our heritage, our duty. Not just “believing on Him”, but understanding, supporting and following what He believed.
2Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Blameless, meaning not race-mixed and not believing in Jewish Jesus and church doctrine.
3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Prince is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (twist, pervert), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
We lost touch with our true heritage because of deception. Now our well meaning preachers are just repeating the distorted and perverted doctrine of our age old Jewish enemies. Judeo-Christianity is not Christianity.
3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
3:18 But grow in grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence), and in the knowledge of our Prince and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
We must have a clear and fresh new mind. As a child. Unlearn the large amount of false teaching that we are used to, and grow in true understanding.
In Peter, we again see the same message of Grace and Mercy.
Having knowledge and truth, along with compassion, loving-kindness and loving-commitment to our brethren, and obedience to our Elohiym are all necessary ingredients to receive Grace and Mercy.
2John 1:1 The elder unto the elect (chosen) lady (Kuria) and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
1:3 Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be with you, mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment), and peace, from God the Father, and from the Prince Yahshua Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
And love is...John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
Elder is G4245 presbuteros is also figuratively a member of the celestial council
Elect is G1588 eklektos, chosen.
Lady is G2959 Kuria. May be a reference to a Christian Israelite woman or may represent the Bride (Israelites)
The Lord, which should be Yahweh or Yahshua, in the NT is G2962 Kurios.
G2960 is kuriakos meaning belonging or related to Yahweh. It's used 2x.
1Corinthians 11:20 So when you come together in one place, it is not the Lord’s supper to be eating.
If you do not know the truth and eat and drink of the cup unworthily you are guilty of the body and blood of the Master.
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
John was given the message to the seven 'churches' in Asia, which each represent an age in the stage of the Christian assemblies. The first age beginning with Ephasus which represented the time from the death of Christ to about 100 AD. The next 5 'church' ages represent the different trials and tribulations the 'church' went through, and their zeal or lack thereof. The final state of 'church' is described in the age of Laodicea. This is the time from around the 1850's to the present day and ends when Yahshua returns.
What we may see from the 2 uses of kuriakos which means belonging to Yahweh, is that we must have true knowledge and understanding of our God, our Master, our Saviour, our Husband. And that we better be ready when He returns because it's any day now. Trim your lamps, repent, show loving-commitment, be found doing, because the reign of Yahshua is near.
G2961 is kurieuo which is to rule, to have dominion over, power over. Used 7x.
Luke 22:25 And He said unto them, The kings of the Nations exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
In this life, men rule over men.
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.
In this life, death rules over men.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Divine influence).
In this life, sin rules over men.
Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
In this life, the law rules over men.
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
In this life, the account we must give rules over us.
2Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over you of The Belief, but are helpers of your joy: for to The Belief ye stand.
Part of The Belief is believing the promises of Elohiym and when we are being His lovingly-commited ones, we are standing on His Word and can expect His Grace and Mercy.
1Timothy 6:15 Which in His own times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
At the end of this last age all will be revealed.
Continuing with 2John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
A family loves one another. The race of Adam is a family. The family of Yahweh.
1:6 And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.
It's in our DNA (Spirit).
1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world (society), who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought (ministered), but that we receive a full reward.
Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.
1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
“Just believing” in the doctrine of Christ get's you nothing. You must 'practice' His doctrine.
1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Jude 1:2 Mercy (G1656- Compassion, Loving-commitment) unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith (The Belief) which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude is warning the congregation of the 'common' teaching of salvation by the false teachers and Judaizers. The word 'common' refers to something defiled or profane. The Jewish pharisees were teaching profane or perverted doctrine. Much like today's “churches”.
1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained (written about) to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Master and Prince Yahshua Christ.
This is done by teaching us to 'practice' ungodliness.
The 'certain and ungodly men' who crept in unawares are the children of Esau. These, along with the children of Cain, are those that creep in unawares and steer us away from the Light. These are Jews. Just judge them by their fruits. They own and run everything, including the media and entertainment. It shouldn't be hard to see what their message is.
These are the vessels fitted for destruction, hence 'ordained for destruction'.
The vessels of mercy are the children of Israel.
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy (G1656- compassion, loving-commitment) of our Prince Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
1:22 And of some (And indeed) have compassion (G1653- loving-commitment), making a difference (upon those who are hesitating):
Those hesitating still have a chance to gain back Mercy and Grace, if they stop hesitating, repent and conform to their duty as children of Yahweh.
How we treat our kinsmen is directly connected to how we will receive 'grace'. If we do not show mercy, we will not receive mercy.
Revelation 1:4 John to the seven assemblies which are in Asia: Grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;
The message being to “the seven assemblies”, meaning specific assemblies, there were more than seven assemblies in the Christian world at this time, but these seven are being singled out for examples. The message and the promise is still the same, and to the same people. The promise to Abraham is exclusively to our people.
1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful (trustworty) witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 22:21 The grace (G5485- favor, merciful kindness, Divine influence) of our Prince Yahshua Christ be with you all. Amen.
Right to the last verse, the Divine Influence of Yahweh's loving-commitment is with His sanctified ones – which is the meaning of the word saint. Only the children from the loins of Isaac were ever sanctified upon an altar to Yahweh at the command of Yahweh Himself. Only they can legitimately be His sanctified ones, and therefore “in Isaac shall thy seed be called”, Saxons, and the European history revealed in the Revelation of Yahshua Christ is the end of all proofs of our Israelite heritage.
Grace means favor, loving-commitment, Divine Influence. The loving-commitment of preservation and deliverance of our people. It is NOT a free ticket into heaven on the rapture plane because you declared you are 'saved' because you've accepted Hymie Jesus as the “churches” teach. It is the free gift to those that seek and follow The Way, and it puts them in great position to inherit that which was promised to the seed of Abraham. The kingdom will not be filled with free loaders that depended on some empty word “grace” which they receive by their own declaration.
Be thankful that you are a true Israelite, according to the flesh, and through obedience and allegiance with our God Yahweh, and with knowledge and understanding of our heritage, and our duty as lovingly-commited ones we can claim true favor and compassion. The merciful kindness by which Yahweh, exerting His Divine influence upon Israelite souls, returning them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian Way, knowledge, affection, and true belief, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.
Praise Yahweh and may the Divine Influence be with you!
