New Believers to the Messianic Faith

Welcome to all new believers in Y'shua following the Master as a new born again
believer or someone who found the truth of the Hebrew Roots of their Christian faith.

The initial step is to leave Egypt (sin and bondage) and Babylon (mixing and confusion
caused by pagan customs mixed in with YHVH's Word which is the cause for false doctrines).

We need to repent and obtain forgiveness first and then you keep yourself "clean" by
studying and following His Word. As you study His Word, He will reveal things to you
which you must change in your life so that you can grow in your relationship with Him.

You must know the basic Commandments to know what YHVH likes and what YHVH despises.
These ate found in the Ten Commandments and forms the basis of your relationship
with YHVH and with your fellow man. You also need to understand that His Instructions (Torah)
is still valid and why He gave it to us.

The next step is to learn what Holiness or Set-Apartness is and that also relates to follow
His Torah from the heart and live a life that is in line with His Word. In this process you will
learn more about YHVH's Character which is only found in His Word and revealed by His Spirit.

I have compiled an Index to documents that relates to these steps so that you can start at the
beginning and learn the next steps in establishing the foundations of our faith in Messiah.
It is a very exciting experience and you will never stop learning. A lifetime is too short to learn
everything about our wonderful Father and about His Son, Y'shua the Messiah our Savior.

Messianic Terminology

The following terminology will be used in this study and is based upon the Hebrew origins of the Scripture and will open up a bit of depth in our understanding of certain aspects of the Word which is lost through our English translations of the Scripture (Bible).

· YHVH, YHWH, Yahweh, Yahuwah – translated in the English Bibles as LORD and is the Name of God that God gave Moses at the burning bush. This Name means; “He is who He is” coming from the first person Name “I Am that I Am”

·Yeshua, Y'shua or Yehusuah – The Hebrew Name of our Saviour which is translated to Greek as Ieosus and transliterated from Greek to English as Jesus in the English Bible. Ieosus means “God of Healing”. The reason is that there is no “Y” in Greek and the closest sound was the “I”. The Name Yeshua means; “Yahweh is my Salvation” and this Name underlines that He is our Saviour as prophesied in Scripture.

·Messiah – Translated as Christ in the English Bible and comes form the Greek word Christos which means “Anointed One” and this is also the Hebrew meaning of Messiah or pronounced as “Massiach”.

·Elohim – Translated as God in the English Bible; it is the Name of God which means; Messenger, Judge and Ruler/King and are the attributes of Yeshua.

·TaNaK or Scriptures – This is the “correct” term for the English translation “Old Testament”. The “Old Testament” implies that there was only one “Old Covenant” and one “New Covenant”, but there are many “Covenants” written in the TaNaK or Scriptures and the term “Old Testament” is incorrect in it’s application. The TaNaK is the collation of all the Books known to the people in Yeshua’s time and are the Torah (first 5 Books of the Scripture), the Nevi-im (the Prophets) and the Kevotim (the Psalms or writings). I like to refer to the “Old Testament” as the Tanak or the Scriptures.

·Torah – translated as Law in the English Bible. It actually means Instructions In the Scripture it is also referred to as the “writings of Moses” and consists of the first five books of the Bible. It comes from the root word “Yarah” which means; “to flow like water” and “to learn how to shoot”. This is interesting because sin in Hebrew is defined as “missing the mark”. Paul refers to the Torah as the “knowledge of sin” and this is why. The concept of water is also found in the “New Testament” where the Word is referred to as water (Eph 5:26). To wash yourself with the water of the Word (Torah) is to cleanse yourself from sin which is defined in the Torah (first five books of the Bible). This helps us not to miss the mark or to sin, but to live a holy righteous life unto Him. (2 Tim 3:16)

·Brit Chadasha or Apostolic Scriptures – as translated and known as the “New Testament” or “New Covenant”. These are the portions of the Bible that were mostly written by Paul and the Disciples and did not exist in the time of Yeshua. When they referred to “the Word” as in the Book of John, they refer only to the Tanak because the “New Testament” was not compiled yet. Brit Chadasha means “Renewed Covenant” and is the extension that was added to all the previous Covenants where He will write His Torah (Law) on our hearts and where He underline the grafting in of the Gentiles into Israel as prophesied in Jer 31:31-33 and Eze 11:19. Heb. 8:8-12, Heb. 10:16-17.

Welcome to Water in the Desert

Here you will find information about the Messianic faith as well as resources that we hope will enhance your walk with YHVH. There are a lot of Messianic Teachings that will help you in your personal relationship with Yeshua in relation with His Word (Torah).

HaMayim b'Midmar is the Hebrew for Water in the desert or Wilderness. The word for water is Mayim and is a life source as well as a cleansing medium. We know that the Word of God (YHVH) is the water that washes us clean. The word Midmar consists of two parts; "Mid", meaning 'Garment' and "Bar" meaning 'Son' and 'Cleansing'.

Our walk through this life is like traveling through the Desert (Midbar), and it is designed to let us thirst and find the Son, so that our thirst may be quenched and our Garments may be Cleansed by Him through His Living Water (Word).

	We were waiting to see what will happen in this 9 days of "darkness" or mourning for the Jews connected to the solar eclipse 22 Jul 09. On the last day, 30 Jul 2009 or 9 Av (Tisha B'Av), started the building of the Sacrificial Altar that is VERY significant for the end times time line. Dan 12:10-13 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the DESOLATING ABOMINATION set up, a thousand two hundred and ninety days ( 3,5 years) shall occur. 12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days (the end of days). 13 But you go on to the end, for you shall rest and stand in your lot at the end of the days. There needs to be an Altar for the sacrifices to start, and when the sacrifices are stopped and the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the Holy Place, starts the 3,5 years of the Great Tribulation....Are you ready?! Here is the article: (IsraelNN.com) The Temple Institute will begin building the sacrificial altar on Thursday, Tisha B’av, a fast day when Jews mourn the destruction of the Temple some 2,000 years ago. The sacrificial altar was located in the center of the Temple, and upon it the Kohanim (priests) offered the numerous voluntary and obligatory sacrifices commanded in the Bible. The Temple Institute, which has already built many of the vessels for the Holy Temple, such as the ark and the menorah, has now embarked on a project to build the altar. Construction begins Thursday in Mitzpe Yericho (east of Jerusalem) at 5:30 p.m. “Unfortunately, we cannot currently build the altar in its proper place, on the Temple Mount,” Temple Institute director Yehudah Glick said. “We are building an altar of the minimum possible size so that we will be able to transport it to the Temple when it is rebuilt." Even a minimum size altar will work out to be approximately 4 meters tall, 6 meters long, and 6 meters wide. Workers have collected around 10 cubic meters of rocks weighing several tons already. The rocks were gathered from the Dead Sea area and wrapped individually to assure they remain whole and are not touched by metal, as the Bible requires. “The Torah says that no iron tools should be used on the altar’s stones,” Glick explained. “The altar represents a connection to life and to the creation of the world. Iron is the opposite – it is used to build tools of war, death, and destruction.” The stones will be cemented together with a mixture of sand, clay, tar, and asphalt. Researchers from the Temple Institute visited the Finish glass factory near Yerucham to learn how to create a mixture which would remain as cool as possible under the altar’s unremitting fires and protect the Kohanim, who always worked in the Temple barefoot. Glick said that Tisha B’av, a day associated with mourning, is really the ideal time to begin to build the Temple. “People mistakenly think Tisha B’av is only a day to cry,” he explained. “It also has to be a day of action. We have the ability in our era to begin the construction of the Temple." “There are many positive developments recently with regard to the Temple,” Glick added. “Hundreds of Jews visited the Temple Mount this week, and more and more continue to come, after undergoing the requisite ritual immersion.” The Temple Institute is searching for donations to help build the altar, which will cost around NIS 100,000 (approximately $26,000).

Gathering Stones (Israel news photo: Temple Institute) Building the Altar (Israel news photo: Temple Institute) DOES GOD HAVE AN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN? By Thomas R. Horn March 28, 2007 NewsWithViews.com Today, a strange paradox exits. What looks like the fulfillment of prophecy is everywhere; unrest in the Middle East, the rise of a European Superstate, the alignment of Gog and Magog, forming of a national ID and gateways through biotechnology that could unleash upon earth pestilence of biblical proportions. People from all three of the world’s great religions see these developments as potential omens of an ‘End Times’ scenario leading to the Apocalypse. Yet many believers in God, especially in America, are indifferent to the need to prepare for the unexpected. An article by Mimi Hall in USA TODAY this week said, "Most Americans haven't taken steps to prepare for a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other emergency, according to a new study on preparedness, and only about a third have made plans with family members about how they would communicate with each other during a crisis." Part of the reason for this may be that we are well off in the United States, and we trust in our bank accounts to sustain us. Unfortunately, money sitting in savings and investments are useless if you become stuck in a storm or other crisis. Another disarming reason I witnessed during my 25 years of pastoring for why people of faith neglect preparedness has to do with an odd defeatism that says, "If current events are prophesied to happen, then there’s nothing we can do about it anyway." The notion that calamity is unavoidable if it is divinely predicted is even sanctioned by some expositors who miss the pattern for preparedness in the Bible. While it is true that famine was prophesied for Egypt, it is also a fact that God led Joseph to prepare for it, and, as a result, he saved his family and the nations around about. Proverbs 22:3 tells us that a prudent person will foresee such difficulties and prepare for them, while a simpleton will go blindly on and suffer the consequences. This is good advice not only for religious folks, but also people of any persuasion. A third and perhaps the greatest reason why some people, including religious people never plan for disaster, is that they view the need to prepare for the unexpected as too complicated and costly. They imagine the back yard being dug up for construction of a massive bomb shelter and the basement crammed with row after row of dry grains and large containers filled with backup water. The truth is, survival preparation is modestly affordable. Under most circumstances, the ability for individuals to remain mobile for a few days to a week or so by simply grabbing an inexpensive "survival bag" and heading out is more important than silos filled with long term storage foods. Even when we envision a worse case scenario – such as a terrorist nuke or ICBM exchange – low-cost shelters, that can be built at home and combined with a minimal amount of Potassium Iodide, would help keep as much as 99 percent of the population alive according to one synopsis by the Department of Homeland Security. Designs for building such family shelters are available free online at places like www.SurvivorMall.com. While having to try to endure radioactive fallout is a growing possibility, the fact is that most people are more likely to face disaster as a result of things like nature. A few weeks ago a journalist became lost in a snowstorm in Oregon and died from the exposure to freezing temperatures. If his car had been equipped with a survival kit, he would have had an excellent chance of survival. During Hurricane Katrina, one woman had an emergency supplies kit in her attic that kept her and her two cats alive for days until help arrived. Another man, a doctor who had read "Dare to Prepare" by Holly Deyo and followed its instructions, was prepared with equipment and supplies. His house became a gathering place for people displaced by the storm. For reasons such as these, my wife and I recently provided each of our children with a "walk out" kit for the trunks of their cars. These emergency bags contain enough food, water, shelter, first aid, lighting and communication supplies to keep them alive for days in the case of a vehicle malfunction or other situation where they would need to abandon their car. Many of the items vital for a good survival kit can be found at your local shopping center: an inexpensive poncho, a basic first aid assortment, nylon cord, canvas for temporary shelter, duck tape, a whistle. Other items are a bit trickier to find and may need to be acquired from one of many online emergency preparedness companies. These include five-year-shelf-life food bars, five-year-shelf-life water boxes or pouches, paper-thin thermal blankets designed by NASA to retain body heat, special hand-crank combination flashlights with radios and emergency signals built in, and so on. My personal favorite is the "Transformer 4 in 1 Radio Flashlight," which requires no maintenance, no batteries, no bulb replacements, and can even power your cell phone. Pre-made emergency kits containing items such as those above can be acquired online at costs from $30.00 and up, depending on the number of people and the number of days they are designed to sustain. Why then, given how affordable disaster preparedness is, are so many people unprepared for an emergency? Within "faith communities," part of the problem goes back to western dispensational fatalism that fails to see God’s instructions about the future and the responsibility He gives concerning preparation. Church authorities may speak of the hidden shelter that God provides His followers during a storm, yet often fail to see the believer’s responsibility cast throughout the Bible where we are to care for our families and communities by readying for the unknown. Some teachers also erroneously believe that emergency preparedness reflects a lack of faith in God. The opposite is true. The Book of James measures faith by personal action, and Hebrews 11:7 describes true faith this way: "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear and prepared an ark to the saving of his house." God told Noah that He would destroy the earth by a flood. He gave Noah instructions on how to be prepared so that he and his family could survive. Noah didn’t know when the flood would come, only that it was prophesied, and he prepared for it. When the Flood arrived, he was ready. His faith in and obedience to God’s word, his survival instincts, and ultimately his preparedness actions saved his family and preserved the human race. The parallel between Noah and today is astounding. "As it was in the days of Noah," says Luke 17:26-27 concerning the last days. Noah's actions should define the modern believer's responsibility, including the need for spiritual and physical preparedness. Of course there are other places in the Bible that provide lessons about preparedness, including principles in the Books of Psalms and Proverbs, the parable of the faithful and evil servants (Matthew 24:45-51) and the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). But 1 Timothy 5:8 goes even further, saying that a person who does not provide for the survival of their relatives has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Given these instructions and the belief held by many today that we are living in "the last days" or at a minimum a time of unusual earth changes, leaders of religious institutions urgently need to educate their followers about taking personal responsibility for preparedness in an age of growing uncertainty. Dramatic lessons over the last few years have proven that we cannot depend on government agencies such as FEMA to save us if we need them. In fact, a report last month found that five years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the government still isn't fully prepared to respond to a major public health emergency such as bioterrorism or a pandemic flu outbreak. So what can one do to help people with disaster preparedness? This is the good news. Hundreds of pages from reports and booklets on how to perform first aid, prepare temporary shelters, build bomb shelters, defend against terrorism and chemical contamination, shield against nuclear fallout, survive earthquakes, storms, floods, and dozens of other emergency situations are available free at places like www.SurvivorMall.com. Spiritual leaders can download these booklets and reports, print them out and place them on a table in a church foyer, hand them to neighbors, give them out during classes, or better yet teach a class on preparedness and tie it in with the mandates of Scripture. If nothing else, everybody can forward this article to the people they know with a recommendation that they do what is right to protect themselves as well as those God has placed under their care. As a veteran of more than 30 years of church ministry, I call on pastors and other religious leaders to stand at the forefront of this issue and to make disaster preparedness some part of their ministry. This doesn’t need to define what you or your fellowship is about, but this can and must be part of the wise counsel you offer those you have responsibility for. You could literally save a believer’s life! Deuteronomy 30:19 says, "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, that you and your descendants might live!" Together as people of faith, we should face the future with confidence and take the lead in disaster preparedness

Thought for the Week by FFOZ

Do not hold back discipline from the child, although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. You shall strike him with the rod and rescue his soul from Sheol. (Proverbs 23:13-14)

Commentary

If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them ... (Deuteronomy 21:18) Kids will be kids. That's true. But they don't have to be bad kids. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right" (Ephesians 6:1), the Apostle Paul says. In the Bible, obeying one's parents is a big deal. So much so that a rebellious and disobedient son was supposed to be stoned to death.
Did the ancient Israelites really stone their rebellious children to death? Torah Club Volume Five explains the conditions and limitations the rabbis placed on the execution of this law. The Talmud states, "There never has been a case of a 'stubborn and rebellious son' brought to trial and never will be" (b.Sanhedrin 71a).

Nevertheless, the law is a fair warning to all parents. Some parents look the other way when their children disobey and misbehave. The Torah wants us to realize that permissive parenting is not an option for the people of God. Many parents today tolerate disobedience and regard teenage rebellion as an ordinary part of growing up. It may be ordinary, but that does not make it permissible. The Didache says, "You shall not remove your hand from your son or from your daughter, but from their youth you shall teach them the fear of God" (Didache 4:9).1 The book of Proverbs says that a man who does not discipline his son hates his son, but a man who loves his son disciplines him diligently.2 Discipline teaches a child wisdom, "but a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother" (Proverbs 29:15). Another proverb states that disciplining a child will not kill him, but warns that withholding discipline could both kill him and doom his soul to hell:
Parents are responsible for bringing up their children in a godly manner. If we do not, our children will inevitably pay the consequences, whether in this world or in the world to come. The commandment of stoning a rebellious teenager seems unreasonably harsh, but the story of David's sons illustrates that a parent who does not discipline a child is actually taking the child's life.

King David did not fulfill the responsibility of training his children. David loved his sons too much to properly discipline them while they were growing up, or so it seems. The Proverbs say, "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently" (Proverbs 13:24). As a result of permissive parenting, several of David's sons met tragic and grisly ends.

His son Amnon raped his step-sister Tamar. David did nothing about it. David's son Absalom (Tamar's brother) murdered Amnon as vengeance for the rape. David did not properly deal with Absalom's vigilante action. He merely exiled him temporarily. Absalom led a rebellion against David and was eventually speared by David's men. David's son Adonijah attempted to usurp the throne. Solomon had him struck down with the sword for his rebellion. The Bible says that David never crossed his sons at any time. He never asked them, "Why have you done so?" (1 Kings 1:6). In other words, he never held them accountable for their behavior. Had David disciplined his sons when they were young, rebuking misbehavior and punishing disobedience, he might have saved their lives.
