The Counting of the Omer Day 46
Hebrews 11:1-2
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report
Psalm 119:9-16
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Ancient Name: Beyt
Pictograph: Floorplan of a Tent
Meanings: Family, House, In
Sound: B, Bh (v)
History & Reconstruction
Several variations were used for the original pictograph. Each of these pictographs is representative of a house or tent. The pictograph is chosen as it best represents the nomadic tents of the Hebrews. The tent was divided into two sections, men's and women's, with the entrance at the front of the tent in the men's section and an entrance from the men's to the women's section.
The Hebrew word (beyt), the name of this letter, means house or tent as well as family. A common designation for a family is to identify the "house" of the family patriarch such as in "The house of Jacob."
The meanings of this letter are house, tent, and family as well as in, with, inside or within as the family resides within the house or tent.
The Hebrew name for this letter, beyt, is equivalent to the Greek name beta and the Arabic name beyt. This letter is pronounced as a "b" when sounded as a stop, such as in the word beyt, or a "bh" (v) when used as a spirant, as in the word shubh (shoov).
This letter is commonly used as a prefix to words to mean "in" or "with" as in be'erets meaning "in a land."
The Early Semitic letter evolved into in the Middle Semitic script and into in the Late Semitic script. The Modern Hebrew letter ב developed out of the Late Semitic. The Middle Semitic script was adopted by the Greeks to become the letter Β (a reverse direction due to being written from right to left instead of left to right) and the Roman B and b. The Late Semitic became the number 2.
Faith: According to the Scriptures
The foundation of every believer taught as one of the many equipment’s given to the body of the Kingdom. Contrary to what the scriptures teach and the same walk Yeshua portrayed. Faith has been misrepresented vastly in modern preaching’s So we come to the decision do we have the faith of Yeshua or the faith in? One is divinely taught the other is man made traditions. Our petition is that you search out truth by scriptures for the matter line a pond line precept upon precept. LETS GO!!!
What is Faith?
When we become Believers, we begin a journey of walking with Messiah. And as we walk with Him, we soon realize that our walking with Him must be by faith. We then begin to understand that if we are to proceed further with Him, our faith must also grow.
But there is a problem! Today many Believers have come to a standstill. We have begun well, but we have not grown in our faith. Biblical Faith is not some vague idea, nor is it merely a mental agreement to the facts of Scripture. We are told in James 2:19 that even the devils believe! And so we must ask ourselves, "In what way is our belief to be different from that of the devils?"
In the book of Hebrews Chapter 11, called the 'faith' chapter of the Bible, we see the following statement:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. (Hebrews 11:1-2)
We see the answer given to us in many verses of this same Book of Hebrews, Chapter 11. Let us observe in this chapter there are many statements like the following:
• By faith Abel... [did something]...(Hebrews 11:4).
• By faith Enoch... [did something]...(Hebrews 11:5).
• By faith Noah... [did something]...(Hebrews 11:7).
• By faith Abraham... obeyed... not knowing... [did something] ...(Hebrews 11:8).
• And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets 33 Who through faith... [did something] ...(Hebrews 11:32).
Beloved, do you see what they all did? By faith, these all 'did something.' But notice these two passages:
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Hebrews 11:8)
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed...(Hebrews 11:13)
We might say that Biblical faith is 'blind' obedience — for if we act only on what we know or understand, there is no faith involved. Here is what pleases the Most High:
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
The spiritual principle of "first do, then understand," is the basic principle of Biblical faith, and is seen in the following passages:
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. (Deuteronomy 4:6)
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:3)
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. (Psalms 119:100)
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favour ['Grace'] and good understanding in the sight of God and man. (Proverbs 3:1-4)
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. (Daniel 9:13)
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. (John 7:17)
The above passages show vividly the principle of "first do, then understand, and know." This is Biblical faith!
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
First, we are told that our Righteousness comes by faith:
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (Romans 3:22)
But then we are told that those who are Righteous by faith, shall also live and walk by faith:
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just ['Righteous'] shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:4)
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just ['Righteous'] shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17)
For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just ['Righteous'] shall live by faith. (Galatians 3:11)
Now the just ['Righteous'] shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Hebrews 10:38)
The above passage reveals that our faith is similar to how we walk, and how we live. But notice the above passages do not end with one who is made righteous by faith, for they go on to say that those who are made righteous, shall live by faith, and they shall walk by faith!
Our Walk of Faith
The moment we first receive Yahushua as our Saviour, is when we take our first step of Biblical faith. This is when we become Born-Again, and it is when we become righteous by faith (Philippians 3:9). When we put action to Yahushua's words by repenting, and being baptised, we take the next steps of Biblical faith. Even if we are struggling with truth, and do not "get it," let us begin to walk in obedience to Messiah's Words, including those He gave to Moses. For it is only when we walk in 'blind' obedience to all His Words, that we show evidence that He is indeed our Lord and Master. It is also in this way that we progress in our faith, from one level of faith to a greater level.
Beloved, let us remember Abraham, who "obeyed ... not knowing."
For this is faith — according to the Scriptures!
