Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be

advanced degree in any subject, need not have memorized Scripture

from beginning to end, but instead

be aware the

hearts to Him.

Mt 6:5-8

When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to

stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,

that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have

received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner

chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in

secret, and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In

praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think

that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be

like them, don't you see that your Father knows what things you need

before you ask Him.

The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared

by those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.

It is written

Lu 11:33

“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,

but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.

Tehillim. 119:105

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole

body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of

darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it

shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining

gives you Light.”

Dan_7:25

And it shall speak words opposing the Most High, and it will wear

down the pure ones of the Most High Ones, and it will try to change set

times (Festivals) and Law, (Lawlessness) and they shall be granted into

its hand for a time and times and half of a time.

And then I will profess to them,

‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are on My lap and do not do

the will of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My lap will I cast you

away! Depart from Me, all ye workers of Lawlessness!’

So that in them is fulfilled the prediction of Yshá`Yâhuw, which says:

“You shall surely hear, but you shall not understand; and you shall

surely see, but you shall not perceive! For the heart of this people has

grown thick, and they do hardly hear with the ears, and they have shut

their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, and with their ears

they should hear, and their heart should understand, and they should

return to Me and I should cure them.

The Hebrew Bible is fully aware of that. Deuteronomy declares the

worship of sun, moon,

and stars as allotted by

that is to all the other peoples

Dev 4:19.

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto Shomayim, and when thou seest

the

Shemesh, and the yarei'ach, and the kokhavim, even all the tz’va

HaShomayim, shouldest be driven to hishtachaveh (bow down, worship)

them, and serve them which Hashem Aloheicha hath divided unto kol

HaGoyim under kol HaShomayim.

Duet 4:19

"or lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and see the sun, the

moon, the stars, and all the armies of heaven, you should be impelled

to bow down to them or enslave yourselves to these [things] that

has apportioned to all the nations under the whole heaven;

Anyone can see the heavenly bodies, but we have heard from

There is no “hard copy” of Him! People want something they can

identify with, which is what makes the “YHWH-man” concept so

attractive, because it makes them think they can be YHWHs too. We

can only understand what

Allows us to know about Himself, and we cannot control what we cannot

comprehend. Apportioned: divided, assigned, distributed; Aramaic,

"designated to serve". I.e., He gave them to all the nations and they

are common (contrast v. 20).

But none of them is to be identified specifically with

Dev 4:20

But Hashem hath taken you, and brought you forth

Out of the iron furnace, even out of Mitzrayim, to be unto Him an Am

Nachalah (a people of inheritance), as ye are yom hazeh.

"But

has selected you, and brought you out from the crucible of iron--from Egypt--to become His own--for the purpose of being a people [that are His own] prized

possession, just as [is the case] today."

Any wood placed into a furnace for smelting iron would be consumed

immediately. Egypt completely used them up, while feeding them—like

pack animals. Even the products forged of iron there—chariots—were

used to kill them. Now they were going to a place that would serve

them rather than consuming them. Nothing in the Tabernacle was

made of iron;

Had no use for it at this point. Prized possession: How awesome! Why

throw away such a rare privilege and settle for something that the

nations all stoop to--nations that He considered a mere drop in the

bucket in comparison

Yeshayah40:15?

Surely the Goyim are like a drop in a bucket, and are accounted as dust

of the scales; surely He taketh up the iyim (islands) like fine dust.

Isa 40:15

See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the

balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust.

consulted, and whom they have worshiped; they shall not be gathered

up, nor be buried in a kever; they shall be like domen upon the surface

Yirmeyah 8:2 ;( modern version)

And shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of

the heavens, which they have loved and which they have served and

after which they have walked, which they have sought, and to which

they have bowed themselves. They shall not be gathered nor buried;

they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.

And He brought me into the khatzer Beis Hashem hapenimit [i.e., the

Yet in the creation story these celestial elements are simply taken as

creatures like any others

Any word Highlighted is a point to ponder the treasure hidden in

scripture

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked...."and

"...the carnal mind is enmity [hostile] against YHWH; for it is not subject

to the law of YHWH, neither indeed can be"

The heart is more insidious than anything [else], and it is woefully

incurable; who can decipher it?

Insidious: sly, slippery, deceitful; it will lie to you more than haSatan

will! Contrast this with today’s popular philosophy of

“Following your heart”.

Since the mindset of the flesh is one of enmity against YHWH, for not

only it is not submissive to YHWH's law;

It is not even able to be!

This explanation of the limitations of human religion unaided by YHWH’s

intervention accounts for Sha’ul’s lack of success

Romans Chapter 7

Rom 7:1.

Or are you ignorant, brothers and sisters (because I am speaking to

those who are knowledgeable in legal matters) that the law holds dominion

over a man only as long as he is alive?

Legal matters: or, the Torah (in particular).

As men. YHWH made man capable of moral government; he was naturally

bound to obey the will of his Maker. The moral law: perfect obedience to

this law could never entitle him to any greater degree of happiness, yet

YHWH was pleased to super add a promise of everlasting life upon

obedience, to which He annexed His awful sanction, “In the day that thou

sinneth, thou shalt surely die.” This is what we call a covenant: as such it

was proposed on the part of YHWH, and it was accepted on the part of

man. Now as this covenant was made with Âthâ’m as the federal head, so

all men are naturally under it.

Rom 7:2.

What I mean is that the married woman was bound to her husband for as

long as he lives, but if the husband dies, she is released from "the law of

the husband".

Husband: Aramaic, master.

As sinners. In this view sinners are under the law as a broken covenant,

which therefore can afford no relief to them that seek salvation by it

Y'hoshua 1:8

This legal document of the Torah must not recede from your mouth, but

you must muse on it by day and by night, in order that you may be careful

to act in accordance with all that it written in it, because then you will

advance your march and then you will cause [them] to act prudently.

Has Moshe (torah) brought man out of Egypt so YaHuWsHua leads us to

the Raukhual Kingdom?

Rom 7:3.

Thus, while the husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress if she

becomes another man's, but if the husband dies, she is released from the

law, and is not an adulteress if she becomes another man's.

The Torah addresses the nature of the first Âthâ’m

(Nature means the physical world and everything in it)

Bber 2:7

And YHWH Aluahiym formed the Âthâ’m (ah) out of dust from the

ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the

Âthâ’m(ah) man became a living being.

(ah being the need to breathe)

1Co_15:44

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a Raukhual body; there is a natural

body, and there is a Raukhual body. The Raukhual, however, was not first,

but the natural, and afterward the Raukhual.

And Aluahiym said, “Let Us make Âthâ’m in Our image, according to

Our likeness, And Aluahiym created the Âthâ’m in His image, in the image

of Aluahiym He created him (both) male and female He created in Him.

Âthâ’m= tselem

צלם

tselem

Tseh'-lem

From an unused root meaning to shade; a phantom, that is, (figuratively)

illusion, resemblance; hence a representative figure, especially an idol: -

image, vain shew.

The Law is Raukhual not physical it cannot be written on the human heart,

but on the Raukhual mind, if indeed the very Rúakh of YHWH lives with in

you

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is

written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are

written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by

the law in the sight of YHWH, it is evident: for, the just shall live by

faith. And the law is not of faith: but,

The man that does them shall live in them

question Him anymore.

The kingdom of light rests within you and you sit no longer in the dark

You walk in darkness, because the light shows your sins, and the penalty is

Death

Therefore YaHuWsHua spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of

the world. He who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but

possess the light of life.” who alone has immortality, dwelling in

unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or is able to see, to whom

be respect and everlasting might. Amĕn.

1 Tim. 1:9

Discerning this: that the Law shall not be applied against a righteous one,

but rather against those lawless and insubordinate, irreverent and sinful,

against those impure and heathenish ones, against father-murderers and

mother-murderers, against murderers of man,

But now there is a second Âthâ’m .

1 Qorinthíym. 15:45ff

45.

Thus also it has been written of the first human:

“…And ’Âthâ´m became a living nephesh (self):”

Bber 2: 7

. And YHWH Aluahiym formed the man [Âthâ’m] from the dust of the

ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man

came to be a living soul.

So the last ’Âthâ´m became a life-making Raukh.

1 Qorinthíym. 15:46.

Nevertheless, the body of the Raukh was not first, instead the body of

the self, then the body of the Raukh!

1 Qorinthíym. 15:47.

The first ’Âthâ´m is made of dust from the earth, the second ’Âthâ´m is

YHWH from the heavens.

1 Qorinthíym. 15:48.

Such as was he who is made of dust, as such also are those made of dust;

and such as is He Who is over the heavens, as such also are those over

the heavens.

1 Qorinthíym. 15:49.

Yet just as we bore the image of the one made of dust, we shall also bear

the image of the One over the heavens.

Rom 7:4.

So then, my brothers and sisters, you were made dead with regard to the

Torah through the meshiakh body, so that you could come to belong to

another to the One who was raised from the dead, in order that we might

bear fruit for YHWH.

Dead with regard to the Torah: i.e., freed from the need for it to stir

up sin in us and bring a penalty. (v. 5) meshiakh body: i.e, on the execution

pole, but also, when we live as members of YHWH’s Body instead of

thinking of ourselves as individuals, we become too busy doing what is

right to have any time to do wrong. Belong to another: with nothing,

however holy, standing in the way. An Y’Ishra’alite man is permitted to

remarry the same woman as long as she has not married another man in

the meantime.

Deut. 24:1

. "When a man has taken a wife and married her, and it comes about that

she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found something indecent in

her, then he may write her a document of severance, place it in her hand,

and send her out from his house,

To "take a wife and marry her" is not redundant. The first stage is the

betrothal, which normally takes place a year or two before they actually

live together. The betrothal is not mere engagement; it takes a bill of

divorce to break it. Most from the Northern Kingdom have drawn our

ideas about divorce only from the New Testament without the Torah

background required to understand it properly. We do not want to take it

so lightly that we engage in divorce parties complete with divorce cakes,

as some now do, but neither should we consider the subject so taboo that

we fail to deal with some very real situations where common sense tells us

it is the only feasible option, as in cases of abuse or promiscuity involving

life-threatening sexually-transmitted diseases. Divorce is rarely a

positive experience for the parties involved. It can especially destroy

children’s sense of security and leave them with long-term scars. So it is

not something for which anyone should give blanket approval. Yet neither

should we ostracize those who have gone through it for what may be

legitimate reasons. We have to know both what Torah really says about it

and what YaHuWsHua actually meant when he gave his well-known

judgments in this regard. There are also keys in those passages and in

these verses to how a couple can fix a marriage that seemed broken

beyond repair. Something indecent: literally, uncovered or naked, and in

Torah to uncover someone’s nakedness is an idiom for having sexual

relations with them. This is not granting permission to divorce a wife

that he finds is not a virgin after all; that was already addressed in

22:20-21, which says she should be stoned, so he could not merely divorce

her. The phrase “comes about” suggests that this comes later in the

marriage. Yet the procedure for a husband who suspects that his wife has

cheated on him is found in Numbers chapter 5. It may be a case in which

there might appear to be condemning evidence, if YHWH does not provide

two witnesses, it indicates that He has chosen in this case to have mercy,

for she is not officially established to be an adulterer in the eyes of the

nation. The phrase “finds no favor” indicates that there is room for

mercy here, for the root word for the term “favor” means “bending over”

(i.e., “backwards”). One might choose to divorce her, but he does not have

to. A key to how it was interpreted is that the term for “something

indecent” literally means “an uncovered word”--a word that is not

“dressed” properly. A word in season is a wonderful thing, as many

Proverbs say, but one out of season—one not properly restrained when it

should be, one that gives evidence that what is really in her heart is not

her husband’s needs, but only her own wishes. In the context of

marriage, it might mean one who greets her husband after a hard day’s

work with complaining or nagging. She has uncovered something about

herself that she should have at least left until later. Even this was

considered grounds for divorce in YaHuWsHua’s day. This “indecency” was

interpreted according to one’s own eye—i.e., however one wished to

interpret it, even if she simply burned his dinner. One’s eye is the window

on his heart, so if he wants to divorce for so trivial an offense, it shows

that his eye is on self rather than his spouse. YaHuWsHua upholds

adultery as the only legitimate reason for divorce (Mat. 5:31ff). When he

says “whoever marries a divorced woman”, in the context of Torah, he

must mean “whoever marries a woman whom he himself married and

divorced previously”. Apparently some P’rushim heard what he said,

because they used his own words to test him in regard to what was

apparently a great controversy. (Mat. 19:1-12) He had already won the

argument when he asked, “Have you not read…?” Where Torah speaks,

one need not give an opinion. He referred them back to Bber 2:24—to

YHWH’s intent from the beginning, the older Torah that predates Sinai,

not just what Moshe permitted because of our hardness of heart. His

students, from the coarser part of society, respond by saying that if one

is “stuck” with his wife, it would be better not to get married. He says

this will not work for everyone, though there are some who have made

themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom. In the context of 23:1,

he can certainly not mean that one should be celibate to concentrate on

“full-time ministry” (for this has mainly led to pedophile priests). Rather,

“If you are going to look at it in such a selfish way, yes, for the sake of

your children and the rest of Y’Ishra’al, please don’t marry anyone!” But

if you did wait for the one YHWH created specifically for you, then go to

whatever length it takes to make the marriage work. YHWH tied Himself

in pretzels and still told Y’Ishra’al, “Come back, if you will repent.”

(Yirmeyahu 3:1-8; Hoshea 2) So Y’Ishra’al can return to her “Husband

from the beginning”, for we never married another; even the Church does

not want to be called pagan, though she constantly whored around with

paganism. Forgiveness is therefore an option in this case. Since the

term for adultery can also mean idolatry, a spouse refusing follow YHWH

is an allowable cause for divorce, per Ezra 10:18ff, where priests were

required to put away the foreign wives (who remained pagan) that they

had taken after the exile.

Deut. 24:2.

"and after she has left his house, she may go and become another man's

wife.

While this allows for more causes for divorce than the Church does,

YaHuWsHua brings great balance for our day as well, when many assume

they will need a “starter marriage” to make their mistakes, and later find

the right mate.

Deut. 24:3.

"But if the latter husband despises her and writes her a document of

divorce, places it in her hand, and sends her out of his house--or if the

latter husband, who took her into his household, dies--

There are very few other things in Torah that we are commanded to put

in writing. But a prerequisite for any legal divorce according to Torah is

that she must be served with papers for this, though there is no such

requirement if she is to be stoned to death! This shows how serious

YHWH is about what He has joined together. He makes us go to great

trouble, even great expense (if one has to hire a scribe) so that we will

think twice about making such a move casually. Many wives have been left

in very bad situations because their husbands did not provide them with

such a document. If they abandon their responsibility in this regard, they

should not be protected by Torah; if they have made themselves

unavailable, it is our opinion that the authorities who do follow Torah

should write the document on her behalf so that the wife can begin to

move on.

Deut. 24:4.

"Her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his

wife, after she is defiled, because that is a disgusting thing to YHWH;

you must not bring guilt upon the Land which YHWH your Aluahiym is

giving you as an inheritance.

Defiled: the same word as “ritually unclean”, which is a picture of

selfishness. How we handle the marriage relationship can even adversely

affect our relationship with the Land of Y’Ishra’al. She now has two

divorce documents that say, “Do not come back to my house.” After the

second husband has found her indecent, there are also two witnesses to

the fact that she has proven to be selfish in multiple contexts. She is

only about what she wants, not about the marriage. It would be foolish to

take her as a wife. YHWH is protecting us even from our own preference

for mercy. There is special significance to the requirement that both

stages of marriage have taken place before it becomes wrong to remarry

the same woman, because YHWH Himself divorced Y’Ishra’al (Yirm. 3:8),

but it was only in the betrothal stage. Also, as Hoshea 2:2ff shows us,

there is a difference between whoring with other men and committing to

them in marriage. Y’Ishra’al never married another, but kept flitting

from one to another, worshipping anything and everything. Hoshea was

told to marry such a woman, so this is allowable. The House of Y’Ishra’al

had not had such a “second witness” put in writing what YHWH did once,

so He is still within His own commands if He takes us back. (Hoshea 1:10)

As Hoshea was told to take his wife back home but not live with her as a

wife for a long period (Hos. 3), Y’shua had come to bring YHWH’s wife

back into the household. (Eph. 2:19) The sentence of “No pity” was up, but

not until much later when the second sentence of “not being My people”

was up would the wedding come, when we again call Him “my man” instead

of “lord”. (Hos. 2:16) The certificate of debt (both the original contract

by which our unfaithfulness could be measured, and the divorce

document) was taken out of the way through Y’shua. (Col. 2:13-14) How?

In ancient Y’Ishra’al when a man went to war, he wrote a divorce

document and left it with his wife in case he should die in battle and his

body not be found, in which case she was free to marry another. (Avi ben

Mordechai) YaHuWsHua s body was not found when searched for after

His death “in battle”, and thus the covenant could be renewed as a clean

slate. Y’Ishra’al could have a “new” husband—though He was the same one-

-but with all of our past offenses erased. (Heb. 9:15)

Rom 7:5.

For whenever we [operate] in the flesh, the sinful passions in our

members are aided by the Torah in bearing fruit [that leads] toward

death.

Flesh: not to be equated with the physical body, but the mere natural

power of our fallen human nature, which falls short (3:23; 8:1) even if the

intent is to do right. Aided: Aramaic, exhorted, i.e., even encouraged. (vv.

7-8)

Rom 7:6.

But now we have been released from the Torah by dying in relation to

that which firmly kept us in its possession, so we can serve in the newness

of Raukh, and not in the old [manner]—that of letter.

Released: or cut loose; had it nullified toward us. From the Torah: not its

true standards but its obligation to punish us for sinning (Gal. 3:24-4:2).

That which firmly kept us in its possession: sin, not the Torah. Not in…

the letter: a Hebraic idiom for “not so much in the letter as in the Raukh

(intent) behind it”, for the letter does define HOW to love one another,

through concrete examples for which we will find many new, unwritten

parallels as we understand the point behind them. The Raukh is the Torah

also, but it is its heart (animating force), without which the mere letter is

indeed a lifeless shell that has the result described in verses 7-11. Notice

that it was not the Torah that died, but we, as meshiakh Body, died, so

that sin, which held us captive and had a right to because the Torah said

we were guilty and deserved death, would no longer have any claim to us.

I.e., our one-time past relationship to the Torah, under which we were

condemned, was severed by the death of the Meshiakh, for it was as if we

were executed for our infractions when He was, in our stead.

Rom 7:7.

What should we say, then? "The Torah is in error"? Never! Still, I would

never have known what sin was, except by means of Torah. For example, I

did not understand that there was such a thing as covetousness, except

that the Torah said, "You shall not covet." [Exodus 20:14]

Covetousness is not a tangible thing (though in Aramaic it is called

“panting” here, which clarifies the concept). As a sin chiefly of the mind,

it might be overlooked. But enter Torah, and we know what is forbidden.

As Âthâ’m and Chavvah did not know there could be such a thing as evil

(which also has no substance as such), until there was an occasion to

contrast it with something else (the knowledge of good and evil), the

Torah brought to our attention the potential for getting off track, and

showed us that there was an (albeit perverse) alternative to the

straightforward truth we had known. It made us curious about what was

on the “other side of the fence”, and this became an obsession until we

found out what it was, even though it was not only disappointing but also

hurtful once we tried it. Childhood ignorance is lost once one knows the

law that is designed to teach us to make distinctions (Lev. 10:10). Y’shua,

given the same choice, went from being innocent to being righteous, while

Athâ´m went from innocent to guilty. But covetousness even corrupts

religious desires--wrong motives for doing right, such as Raukhual pride,

rivalry, or trying to "score points" with YHWH.

Rom 7:8.

In other words, sin, taking occasion through the commandment, was

empowered to produce in me every sort of coveting.

Taking occasion: using as its base of operations. A commandment can

arouse a latent potential for sin by its very suggestion of what should not

be done (arousing latent evil by its very suggestion of sins we might never

have imagined otherwise), as the same sun that makes flowers fragrant

brings the foul steams of the dunghill to the surface. (Henry) It has the

same effect as eating the forbidden fruit, not because it is evil, but

because it opens our eyes to the possibility of things being abused (itself

a form of death), and thus ruins us for any nobler use until the solution--

true, deep-heart atonement--is accepted.

Rom 7:9.

[You could say] I was "alive" then, apart from the Torah, but with the

coming of the commandment, the sin revived, and I "died",

Alive: since where there is no law, there can be no violation. (4:15) Then:

i.e., the theoretical time (though not literal in Paul’s life) before he was

made familiar with the Torah.

Rom 7:10.

and the commandment that was designed [to bring] life turned out in my

case to [be bringing] death,

Bringing death: as a body is further inflamed by a medicine that is not

strong enough to carry away its disease. We spoiled even the Torah when

we, in our fallenness, got our hands on it, so we had to be separated even

from it so that we could be re-formed and re-created. The Torah is

known in mystical circles as the garment that merely enwraps (thus taking

the shape of) the Man it covers, but if we focus too strongly on the

garment (which also must be laid aside if there is to be intimacy with the

true husband), it too becomes idolatry, and we defeat the entire purpose.

Therefore YHWH went back to the drawing board and renewed the

covenant in different terms, though its content and purpose, when put

back in the proper order, were the same as ever.

Rom 7:11.

because sin, seizing the occasion through the commandment, deceived

me, thereby killing me.

Deceived: or, misled (due to our faulty understanding of what the Torah

was aiming at). This pattern is repeated every time Torah throws light on

another way we fail to line up with YHWH's standard. It topples us from

our sense of being in “good standing” and forces us to seek the power to

love YHWH which only He can give when we come to Him for mercy.

Rom 7:12.

Thus the Torah is indeed holy, and the commandment, holy and just and

right.

This is the basic, core belief by we must judge everything else Paul ever

says about the Torah. If we were cut off from the Torah, it was so we

could be resurrected to the relationship it was truly meant to have

toward us (teaching us to know YHWH, not becoming a substitute for

Him), but with amnesty for the past, a fresh start.

Rom 7:13.

Has what is right, then, come to mean death for me? May it never be!

Rather, the sin, in order that it could be brought to light and shown to be

sin, has produced death for me through what is right, so that by means of

the commandment the sin might come to be seen for what it is—sinful

beyond measure.

We can no longer make excuses once it exposes our motives. The true

standard is made clear through the Torah, though other nations who are

not designed to be His intimate people might go happily on their way

thinking they are guiltless. But all through the Scripture we are reminded

that they live pointless lives in which, in the words of the Shakharit

(dawn) prayers, “most of their deeds are desolate and the days of their

lives are empty before You. The preeminence of man over beast is non-

existent, for all is vanity.” Right: or beneficial; Aramaic, sin, seen as sin,

by the graced perfected death in me that is especially condemned by the

commandment.

Rom 7:14.

For we know that the Torah is Raukhual; however, I am [still] carnal,

having been sold into [slavery to] sin—

Rom 7:15.

indeed, I don't even understand my own behavior, because I [end up]

doing what I do not want to do, but the very thing I hate—that's what I

[find myself] doing!

No matter how high our ideals, we are not equipped to live according to

the laws of a pure nature when we ourselves are corrupt.

Rom 7:16.

However, if "what I don't want [to do is exactly] what I do", then I am [in

fact] in agreement with the Torah—that it is [eminently] praiseworthy.

I concur wholeheartedly, but the fallen nature renders me unable to

respond to this new upward pull because of the greater natural strength

of the evil inclination which, like a Raukhual law of gravity, is also present.

The Torah's failure to justify us before YHWH lies not from any defect

in the teachings themselves, but in us who misuse them. (Berkowitz)

Praiseworthy: Aramaic, beautiful. Again, this is Paul’s root opinion about

the Torah, by which we must interpret all his other statements!

Rom 7:17.

In this case, it is no longer I who am acting; rather, the sin that inhabits

me [is what is working through me].

Inhabits: Aram. Dominates, as a slave master who can order one to act

against his better judgment. Enchained to Âthâ’m ’s mutated genetic

makeup, our habits are still evil, but once we agree with YHWH’s verdict

and stop trying to justify ourselves, we receive a new option, though the

old is still with us until physical death frees us from it.

Rom 7:18.

Thus I know that nothing useful resides in me—that is, in my natural

constitution—because the desiring to do [what is] beneficial is present

with me, but to accomplish it, I find no [power within myself],

Nothing useful resides in me: Lamsa renders the Aramaic, “Yet I know

that it does not fully dominate me.” Present with me: near at hand, yet

still just out of reach—an excruciating source of frustration. (v. 24)

Aramaic, easy (simple) for me.

Rom 7:19.

because I do not do what I wish (the beneficial); rather, what I do not

wish to do (the evil) is just what I [find] myself [actually] doing.

Rom 7:20.

But if "I" do what I do not really wish to do, then it is no longer my real

self who is perpetrating it, but rather the sin that resides within me

initiates it.

The new nature remains entrapped by our bodies' remaining weakness,

but YHWH no longer counts this our truest self-see 8:1,2; He does not

recognize us as the ones living out our old tendencies, but lays the blame

on the slave master who gave the orders, as the higher-in-command is

considered the real war criminal, not the one forced to carry them out.

Rom 7:21.

Consequently I find it to be a law that although I am the one desiring to

do right, the evil inclination is nearer at hand—

Law: here, an operative principle, not a command, though using the same

term heightens the sense of tension between our natural inclination and

YHWH’s requirements. Stern renders it, “a kind of perverse ‘torah’.”

Nearer at hand: distracting me from what I really want to pay attention

to. It is our “nearer kinsman” that stands in the way of a better one

redeeming us. (Ruth 3:12)

Rom 7:22.

for according to the inward man I delight in YHWH's Torah,

Rom 7:23.

but I see another principle at work in my bodily members—having waged

war against the principle by which my mind [operates], and taking me

captive through the principle of sin that exists within my members.

Principle: or “law”, the same word used here for Torah. Mind: reason,

capacity for Raukhual truth, higher powers of the soul to recognize the

right and hate the evil.

Rom 7:24.

What a miserable man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is

given over to [what only brings] death?

Miserable: wretched, troubled, afflicted. Rescue me: or, draw me to

Himself. Given over to: or sold into slavery to “this whole morbid package

of frustrating tendencies”!

Rom 7:25.

I thank YHWH, [it has been accomplished] through YaHuWsHua the

Meshiakh, our Master! Consequently, then, I myself truly serve the law of

YHWH with my mind, though the flesh [may still operate according to]

the principle of sin.

What was accomplished? The severance from the penalty in the Torah

for what our natural inclinations still tend toward. Serve: or submit to,

yield obediently to.

Enmity: in Aramaic, the word is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ba’al-

zebub. Able: The same term used of one faction in the debate Sha’ul is

addressing here (ch. 14-15).

Human nature can be defined as vanity, lust and greed toward self -- and

as jealousy, envy, hostility and resentment of authority against others.

We shall never have real utopia on earth until human nature is changed,

and that human nature -- assisted by Satan and his Raukhual realm -- is

the cause of all this world's evils. Although man cannot change his human

nature, YHWH Äluahiym can -- and will! This is exactly what YHWH is

going to do when He returns to this earth and rules from Yerushalayim,

Those who choose to follow the King of this kingdom choose to put self to

death. This is called repenting. When they repent, their King lavishes on

them His holy Raukh. Then we read in Disclosure 20 that Satan will be

bound for 1,000 years and no longer able to influence mankind: "He [an

angel] laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and

Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the

bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should

deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished"

(Disclosure 20:2-3). With human nature changed and Satan's influence

removed, the prophet Yeshayahu predicted that the tribes of Yaccob will

be a light to the nations, and will carry YHWH's salvation to the ends of

the earth

(Yeshayahu 49:6).

As the restored tribes of Jacob live in obedience to the commands of

YHWH Äluahiym and the Meshiakh, they will demonstrate the life that

Y’Ishra’al was always meant to live. They will exhibit a culture that does

not come from the world around them and is not a reaction to it. Their

way of doing business, their art and music, and the festivals that

celebrate their dependence on their Creator will be given to them from

YHWH's throne in Jerusalem and will have a radically different quality

from the culture that surrounds them (Colossians 2:16-17). Every part of

their life will be focused toward the goal of being worthy to be under the

rule of the Stone Kingdom.

These tribes of Jacob will be standing on an unshakable foundation. The

Äluahiym of heaven will give them a way of life that does not pass away, a

way of life that can be passed on from generation to generation. Even

their obedience to the divine command that Y’Ishra’al should let their

land rest one year out of every seven (Leviticus 25:1-10) -- a command

which Y’Ishra’al of old never obeyed (II Chronicles 36:21) -- will prepare

them to live a life that overflows with abundance. "I will call for the grain

and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit

of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never

again bear the reproach of famine among the nations" (Ezekiel 36:29-30).

While the physical aspect of this kingdom will take the form of the

restored tribes of Jacob, those ruling over them will be the resurrected

saints of YHWH Äluahiym – Dani’al's Stone Kingdom. "...on whomever this

stone falls it will scatter him like dust" (Matthew 21:43-44). This is a

clear reference to Daniel's prophecy. The Stone Kingdom will be raised up

in this age like a stone cut out of the mountain without hands.

This then is the message of the prophets for the end times. Dani’al,

Yeshayahu, and YaHuWsHua the Meshiakh all point to the one life, the

one culture, the one kingdom that will survive. If men derive any other

message from the prophets and use it as an excuse for pursuing a course

of their own invention, their plans will perish. It does not matter if they

react militantly against the governments of this world or try to influence

and dominate those governments, their agenda will perish. Only those

whose life is based on the Raukh of YHWH Äluahiym, who live the

demonstration of the coming age, will endure. Whoever is truly looking to

the prophets for direction -- for a way out of the destruction and

corruption of today -- will only find it in this unshakable kingdom

(Hebrews 12:28-29).

At the in-gathering of Nation of Y’Ishra’al YHWH states:

Then I will take you out from the nations, and collect you from all the

lands and bring you into your own Land, and I will sprinkle pure water over

you and you will be purified from all your defilements and I will

ceremonially cleanse you from all your rolling idols,and I will give you a

renewed heart and I will put a renewed Raukh (Raukh) in your innermost

part, and I will remove the stony heart from your flesh, and give you a

heart of flesh.

Heart of flesh: i.e., one that is sensitive and pliable, not callous and all

but dead.

Then I will bestow My breath on your innermost part, and ordain that you

will walk within My prescribed limits, and you will guard My legal

procedures and carry them out.

Bestow my breath (or Raukh): as in

Bber 2:7

And YHWH Aluahiym formed the Âthâ’m (ah) out of dust from the

ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the Âthâ’m (ah)

man became a living being.

and

Yâhuwchânâ´n 20:22-23.

And having said this, He blew on them and says to them: “Receive ye the

Raukh of the Pure One; The sins of whomsoever ye may release from

them are released from them; the sins of whomsoever ye may hold them

to, they have been retained!”

In His Name

Blessed be, in His name

YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, YHWH bless you.' "

Be not blind to the truth

And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard

that YâHuWsHúa` passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O

YHWH, [thou] Ben David. An YâHuWsHúa` stood still, and called them,

and said, what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him,

YHWH, that our eyes may be opened. So YâHuWsHúa` had compassion

[on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received

sight, and they followed him.
