We are walking in today:  Torah: Law or Grace, Kingdom Principles for Kingdom Living--Chapter 4, The Language of Exile

Witness house of Isreal throughout the Bible: beit H1004 house, dwelling habitation & Ya‘akov H3290 heel holder or supplanter, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, and father of the 12 patriarchs of the tribes of Israel
Genesis 33:17; Exodus 12:2-4; Isaiah 2:5; 8:17; 10:20; 14:1, 29:22; 46:3; 48:1-3; Ezekiel 20:5-7; Amos 3:13, 9:8; Obediah 1:17-18; Psalm 114:1-3; Luke 1:33 

As we continue our study of this book, we have to look at language.  Well what's the big deal?  If we know how to read that should not be a problem, right?  But we find that the translation from the original language to other or another language can dilute the meaning and remove intention.  Reading any text from the improper context can easily lead to misunderstanding and all that arises with partial revelation.  The focus on this study is to go back to the beginning for understanding.  The Hebrew language is action or verb based and the Greek is noun based.  As we look to our instructions from the Torah as actions that we are to take and not just what we would speak--void of any participation of our own.  Look to the word faith.  Often seen as belief and what you have confidence in.  In the Hebraic understanding we find that it would be better explained as confidence in the principles.  If you have this confidence in the principles that would mean that you would be in action and applying these principles to our lives.  This is a major shift in our lives for our Bibles have spent much time resting and visited infrequently.  When what it should be is studied, to be applied to our lives daily.  There is instruction for all of our lives.  This takes out all of the guess work and experimentation that often yields frustration and confusion.  So why did we not know this until now?  Why wasn't this passed down through the generations?  The scattering of the tribes due to disobedience has allowed the understanding to be hidden until the appointed time that all of His plan would be revealed.  With the return to the original and the application of the principles in our lives, only then can we come to see Him fully and return in relationship with Yahweh.  As He intended from the beginning and that is what this time is for, returning home to the comfort of His presence and peace. 
We have to go back to the beginning from the place that we began.  Fiveamprayer we have gotten off of His path.  Yet when we return we see that His directions are for the directing of our lives.  He is our, Abba and cares for us and does not want us to wander around without instruction!  This is more than a confession, this is our activity in moving in His principles.  Why would we assume that we could figure this all out on our own?  As time has passed on there were other understandings that were erroneously added. When we strip down to the whole truth we find that this is not the harsh law that we may have grew up understanding.   This is the provision and directions for family, marriages, finances, health--every area of our lives!  This is no longer a guess, try and see lifestyle--He gives us the tools, directions, and instruction for His intended outcome. We find that the largest element that has altered our understanding is the disbursement of the tribes of Israel, from disobedience to His commandments.  
The division into two groups, the Southern tribe, known as Judah and the Northern tribe, known as Ephraim were scattered throughout the world.  Judah has returned from their scattering and now we have Ephraim waking up to return to He that is true and walking in the original instruction.  All things are done according to His timing and purpose!  Certainly we would not be left scattered forever.  He is calling us back home but when we return will we see the harsh lawgiver of the loving father directing his children in love?  Keep in mind that our view is effected by our understanding, He is the Yahweh our Elohim and changes not--so what is different?  Us, we have obtained an incorrect view but with closer study and returning scripture to it's origin we find the truth that even Paul spoke about in the last half of the Bible.  We have to go back and look at this again with circumcised heart and ears ready to hear from on high.  It is time to come our of misunderstanding, stubbornness and willfulness to the whole of the truth His unfailing word!  To hear this teaching again click here.
