The House of Yaaqov, and Yisrayl The Two Witnesses? Rev
14:6 And I saw another Malak/Messenger fly in the midst of Heaven, having
the everlasting Truth to preach unto them that dwell on the Earth, and to every
Nation, and Kindred, and Tongue, and People 7) Saying with a loud voice, Our leaders are men, and they all make mistakes. Moshe, and King David made mistakes, as well as many other leaders. Study the Scriptures for yourself. I have listed some scriptures for your research. Please read them with a desire to learn not to be "mind-controlled" by any leaders who bring truth. Look for the lies, and question what you do not understand. I have been personally hurt by these leaders, and now I am being hunted by these men, and their children. They teach murdering someone is not wrong if Yisrayl Hawkins wants that person dead. The teaching of marriage, and slavery with-in this group, is a big part of this problem, because they teach selling children for sex slaves, into polygamy bondage, and many of the members fear speaking out, because the elders have weapons, and are unfair to women, and children keeping them uneducated, and submissive. There are about 1500 people involved in this group today, and about one third of this group have come out from the group in the past year due to the fighting that has been getting started between members, and the ex-members. the past four years have been very violent, with a large number of murders, and deaths occurring to the members, by other members. I believe time is valuable, get right to the heart of this problem, and read the "IN YOUR FACE" so to speak order. To understand this situation, fast, you need to read the HOY page , The Truth page, and then The Obituaries page. Then the Reporter News link has forum comments from concerned people who speak out about the problems The State of Texas is faced with. EZE. 22:26“Her priests have done violence to My teaching h and they profane My set-apart matters. They have not distinguished between the set-apart and profane, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean. And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned in their midst. 27“Her leaders in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy lives, and to get greedy gain. 28“And her prophets have coated them with whitewash, seeing a false vision, and divining a lie for them, saying, ‘Thus said the Master HWHY,’ when HWHY had not spoken. 29“The people of the land have practiced oppression, and committed robbery, and have wronged the poor and needy. And they oppressed the stranger without right-ruling. 30“And I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the breach before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it – but I did not find one! Proverbs 30 The words of Agur son of Yaqeh, a message. This man declared to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ukal: 2 For I am more stupid than anyone, And do not have the understanding of a man. 3And I have not learned wisdom That I should know the knowledge of the Set-apart One. 4 Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? p What is His Name, And what is His Son’s Name? Do you know it? 5 Every Word of HWHY is tried; q He is a shield to those taking refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His Words, r Lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar. 7 Two matters I have asked of You – Deny them not to me before I die: 8 Remove falsehood and a lying word far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me my portion of bread; 9 Lest I become satisfied and deny You, And say, “Who is HWHY?” And lest I be poor, and steal, And seize the Name of my Creator. 10 Do not slander a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, And you be found guilty. 11 There is a generation that curses it's father, And does not bless it's mother – 12 There is a generation, clean in its own eyes, But not washed from its own filth. 13 There is a generation; Oh, how haughty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. 14 There is a generation whose teeth are swords, And whose jaw-teeth are knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men. 15 The leech has two daughters: “Give! Give!” Three are not satisfied, Four that never say, “Enough”: 16 The grave, and the barren womb, Soil not satisfied with water, And fire which never says, “Enough.” MISHLÂ 29 754 p A reproof, an invitation, a call to seek these two Names which have been suppressed! q Teh. 12:6, Teh. 18:30. r DeÄ. 4:2 & 12:32, Rev. 22:18-19. Isaiah 7:14
This passage from the Dead Sea Scrolls has a few differences
from the Masoretic text
|
| יהוה |
 HWHY |
Verse 1
| Masoretic Text |
 |
| King James | {A Psalm of David.} I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. |
| Revised Standard | I give thee thanks, O' Heavenly Father, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; |
| Literal from Masoretic | To David, I will praise you with all my heart, before God I will make your music. |
| Dead Sea Scroll |
 |
| Literal from DSS | To David, I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, before Yahweh God I will make your music. |
The Dead Sea Scrolls makes it clear we are to use the old Hebrew!
The "Yahweh" spelling or pronunciation "Yahweh" is not correct! Yisrayl Hawkins uses is not right! This is still honoring the adonai, and elohim by using the vowels "a" and "e" .
The Masoretic Text. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, a particular group of texts was emerging, endorsed by and copied by the central stream of Judaism, that of the *Pharisees, later to be known as the *Masoretic Text (MT). THE OXFORD COMPANION TO THE BIBLE page487 , Bruce M. Metzger
The Pre-Masoretic text was consonantal vowels being supplied by the reader from a knowledge of the language. (THE INTERPRETERS DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE pg 817)
New Bible Dictionary, 2nd ed., J. D. Douglas, Organizing Editor, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton, IL, article "Texts and Versions," p. 1,178, where we read,
In the 7th century of our era that the Masoretes introduced a complete system of vowel-signs.
WHAT DID THE MESSIAH SAY ABOUT THE PHARISEES TAKING AWAY THE KEYS OF KNOWLEDGE ?
THE GOSPEL OF
THOMAS VERSE;39
Ocwhy said, "The
Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden
them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do
so.
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Luke 11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
"When the Yisraeli (Israelites) came out of Babylonian captivity, they brought along with them the Babylonian culture, and along with it Babylonian beliefs and superstitions. One of these pagan Babylonian practices or beliefs was called "ineffability." This was the SUPERSTITION against using the name of a deity for fear of something bad happening to them. The idea was that if you said the name of a deity he or she would notice you. The pagan practice of ineffability was further reinforced by Greek Hellenization." -(b.Pes. 50a) (b.Kidd. 71a).
(Soferim iv., end; compo Sanh. 66a). The prohibition of blasphemy, for which capital punishment is prescribed in Jewish law, refers only to the Tetragrammaton
Abba Saul (2d cent.) condemned the profanation of the Tetragrammaton by classing those "that speak the Name according to its letters" (HWHY) with those who have no part in the future world (Sanh. x.1)
The
Pharisees read substitutions such as "Elohim" and "Adonai" when they came to
HWHY in reading the Tenach, the ancient scribes of the Tenach actually
substituted in many places "Adonai" for
HWHY in the text itself These in many
translations are printed as "Lord". The official list given in the Massorah
(107: 15 Gingsburg edition) contain the 134 instances .
Hermas 5[13]:1 "Hear now concerning the stones that go to the building The stones that are squared and white, and that fit together in their joints, these are the apostles and Teachers and Deacons, who walked after the Qadesh of HWHY, and exercised their office of Elder and Teacher and Deacon in purity and sanctity for the elect of HWHY, some of them already fallen asleep, and others still living. And because they always agreed with one another, they both had peace among themselves and listened one to another. Therefore their joinings fit together in the building of The Tower."
The answers of disputes is to continue
communicating with patience, and long suffering.
We lose people when they quit communicating, an start ex-communicating.
The next few paragraphs may be just a little confusing for you if you are new to this information. Yisrayl Hawkins uses Isa 44 to prove he is the Witness in the last days. Lets compare what the Dead Sea Scrolls tells us about Yisrayl, and the Wicked Priest.
[...] 2 From the beginning to the end of time...3 all the events that occurred, why things were, the way they were and all lead to an unknown, [future]. 4 The time that HWHY exposes, the answers to the unknown, too, those who listen...5 You will be one of the few, to be able to conceive, when I present you with the [answers] 6 Your actions will be weighted in the palm of My hand along with time...
Isa. 44:1 "But now hear, O Yaaqov My servant, and Yisrayl whom I have chosen. 2 Thus said HWHY who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Yaaqov My servant, and Yeshurun, whom I have chosen. 3 ‘For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Spirit on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring, 4 and they shall spring up among the grass like willows by streams of water.’ 5 "One says, ‘I belong to HWHY; another calls himself by the name of Yaaqov; another writes with his hand, ‘Unto HWHY,’ and names himself by the name of Yisrayl. 6 "Thus said HWHY, Sovereign of Yisrayl, and his Redeemer, HWHY of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Mighty One.
This sentence is very important to Yisrayl Hawkins. The problem with Yisrayl Hawkins is, he would not listen to The Heavenly Father. If you will notice in the highlighted sentence, there are three people mentioned. I have waited for Yisrayl Hawkins to repent, and come make peace with me, but he just hardened his heart towards me. Now HWHY will expose the true witnesses. The three people spoken of is Yaaqov, Yisrayl, and Yeshurun. Yeshurun is another name for Yisrayl, and means the Righteous one. Yeshurun Says he belongs to HWHY. Back to verse 2. "Do not fear Yaaqov My Servant, and Yeshurun whom I have chosen." These are The Olive Trees, and The Two Lamp Stands standing for The Heavenly Father here on Earth. Rev. 11: 4 These are Two, who come down to earth to serve HWHY, and finish the work. These are The Two Witnesses, and Two of The Judges spoken of in Ezekiel 9:2. "The Wicked Priest" is Yisrayl is the Reproach!
Jer. 8:8-9
8“How do you say, ‘We are wise, and the Torah of HWHY is with us’? But look, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
9“The wise shall be put to shame, they shall be broken down and caught. See, they have rejected the Word.
Yisrayl is a reproach that subscribed with his hand writing more than twenty books about the Father's Laws, and then SOLD these books!!! Remember you are not to sell the Law of HWHY! Michah 3:11 Her heads judge for a bribe, her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for a price.
Mikah, Michah
3 Then I said, "Hear now, O heads of Yaaqov, and you rulers of the house of Yisrayl: Should you not know right ruling, 2 you who are hating good, and loving evil, tearing away the skin from My people, and the flesh from their bones, 3 and who have eaten the flesh of My people, and stripped off their skin, and have broken their bones, and have cut it up as into a pot, like flesh in the cooking pot?" 4 Therefore, when they cry to HWHY He does not answer them, and hides His face from them at that time, as they have made their deeds evil. 5Thus said HWHY concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who are biting with their teeth and have called out, "Peace!" They even set apart a battle against him who does not give for their mouths. 6 Therefore it shall be night to you without vision, and darkness to you without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark for them. 7 And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners embarrassed. And they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer, O HWHY. 8 But truly I am filled with power, with the Spirit of HWHY, and with right-ruling, and with might, to declare to Yaaqov his transgression, and to Yisrayl his sin. 9 Hear this, please, you heads of the house of Yaaqov, and you rulers of the house of Yisrayl, who despise right-ruling, and distort all that is straight, 10 those building up Tsiyon with bloodshed and Yerushalayim with unrighteousness. 11 Her heads judge for a bribe, her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for a price. Yet they lean on HWHY, and say, "Is not HWHY in our midst? Evil does not come upon us." 12 Therefore, because of you, Tsiyon is ploughed like a field, and Yerushalayim becomes heaps, and the mountain of the House like a wooded height
Hermas 1[43]:12 In the first place, that man who seemeth to have a spirit exalteth himself, and desireth to have a chief place, and straight-way he is impudent, shameless, talkative, and conversant in many luxuries, and in many other deceits and receiveth money for his prophesying, and if he receiveth not, he prophesieth not. Now can a Qadesh Spirit receive money, and prophesy? It is not possible for a prophet of HWHY to do this, but the spirit of such prophets is earthly.
4 And in the latter days it shall be that the Mountain of the House of HWHY is established on the Chief of the Nations, and shall be exalted above the Nations. And peoples shall flow to it. 2 And many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to The House of HWHY, to The House of the Father of Yaaqov, and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths. For out of Tsiyon comes forth the Torah, and the word of HWHY from Yerushalayim."
Isa. 43:28 "So I have profaned the chief
ones of the set-apart place,
and I have delivered up Yaaqov to the curse, and Yisrayl to reproaches."
These Two Witnesses are named in:
Isaiah
44:1-8—
1 Yet now hear, O Yaaqov My servant, and
Yisrayl whom I have chosen, 2 This is what
HWHY says, Who made you and
formed you from the womb, Who will help you: Do not be
afraid, Yaaqov My servant and Yeshurun; Beloved
Yisrayl, whom I have appointed. 3 For I will pour water upon him who is
thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour out My
Spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring. 4 They will spring up among the grass, as
willows by the water courses. 5 One will say; I belong to
HWHY, and the
same will call himself with the name of Yaaqov. The other
will subscribe with his hand, and write; I belong to
HWHY, and surname himself with the name of Yisrayl. 6 This is what
HWHY, the King of
Yisrayl, and Redeemer,
HWHY of hosts, says: I am the
first, and I am the last, and except for Me there is no
source of power! 7 And Who, as I, will foretell, and set it in
order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the
things which are coming, and will come, let them foretell
them. 8 Do not fear, nor be afraid. Have I not told
you from that time, and have declared; You are My
witnesses! Is there a source of power except Me? Truly, there is
no other Rock; I know not one.
These scriptures will help explain HWHY’s work in the last days. He clearly gives power, and judgment unto the two witnesses, as well as 144,000 others. These two men correct the Fathers leaders, and gather together the elect. One man is The Teacher of Righteousness, and one man is The Interrupter of the Torah, and the third is The Wicked Priest. What do you think these two witnesses character will be like? How do you think they will rise up into their power?
The Teacher of Righteousness is Yaaqov The Righteous
The Interpreter of the Torah is Yeshurun ("The Righteous One")
The Wicked Priest is Yisrayl Hawkins
Hebrews 13:17 I want to give my testimony to HWHY on your behalf with joy, and not sorrow.
There are many theories about The Two Witnesses; some say its the old, and new testaments, and others think these Two will come down from heaven, and lots of other beliefs, you should examine every belief, against the Scriptures.
This explains two witnesses forewarned the people of the destruction during Noah's time.
Yasher 5
8 For thus saith HWHY, Behold I give you a period of one hundred and twenty years; if you will turn to me and forsake your evil ways, then will I also turn away from the evil which I told you, and it shall not exist, saith HWHY.
9 And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the words of HWHY to the sons of men, day after day, constantly speaking to them.
10 But the sons of men would not hearken to them, nor incline their ears to their words, and they were stiff necked.
11 And HWHY granted them a period of one hundred and twenty years, saying, If they will return, then will HWHY repent of the evil, so as not to destroy the earth.
11 And a reed like a measuring rod was given to me, and the messenger stood, saying, “Rise and measure the Dwelling Place of HWHY, and the altar, and those worshipping in it. 2“ But cast out the court which is outside the Dwelling Place, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles, and they shall trample the set-apart city under foot for forty-two months. 3 “And I shall give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clad in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands that are standing before HWHY of the earth. 5And if anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes out from their mouth and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wishes to harm them, he has to be killed in that way. 6 These possess authority to shut the heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy. And they possess authority over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they wish. 7 And when they have ended their witness, the beast coming up out of the pit of the deep shall fight against them, and overcome them, and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Mitsrayim, where also our Saviour was impaled.
The Two Witnesses are here to convict Yisrayl Hawkins of the murders, and raping children that he and the other Elders of The House of Yahweh have been committing.
I
protect The People of
!HWHY!!
Please forgive me for being direct with my words,
but the unclean actions are what they are, and children need to be taught the
right way men, and women are to conduct themselves in their relationships, and needs to be addressed before young
people get into relationships.
June 23 2006
I sent this letter to
Yisrayl Hawkins, of The House of Yahweh,
and Yaddidiyah, and Kepha Did receive a copy, and I told them to be sure
everyone gets a copy.
Yisrayl Hawkins I love you very much, and I always have. I am here as your friend, brother, and servant, to help with the work we must do. I called you almost two years ago telling you I would be back, and that I finished the project I was working on, and explained to you to go research The Dead Sea Scrolls. In light of the importance of these Scrolls, I am shocked that you as a “Scholar” have such a lack of understanding of them. At the Feast of Unleavened Bread 2006, I sent Tsephenyahu to help you with understanding These Scrolls. Tsephenyahu is a very special individual, as you will soon learn. Tsephenyahu is a Prophet of The Most High, and will not stand for sin in our Camp. He has taught me to walk perfectly; it’s not hard at all.
I must confirm that you are one of the Witnesses, and this is the True Bayit HWHY . It is a great Honor to be The Witnesses, but it comes with a great price. That devil will kill us, no doubt, but not without great suffering first. Let me enlighten you to some of the specifics that will befall us at the end of our days. For 10 days that devil is going to perform surgical operations, on public T.V. in the open streets on the two of us, that no man has ever witnessed, trying to make us eat pork, and tell the world he is The Most High. After whipping, and shocking us, they inject horrible venoms into all parts of our bodies, and brain. They cut our skin off in one piece from the eye lids, to the toes, and then slowly break all our bones. I can’t sleep thinking of the five-inch needle in my nose, that’s my fear. This understanding has sure changed my life, I fear hurting any bug, or ant, and I love my enemies, always seeking to help everyone. I pray for mercy, and keep my walk as straight as possible in humbleness to HWHY . Tsephenyahu was a beautiful gift from The Father to me, and he saved my life, listen to him, he is here to help us straighten our steps in this difficult task. I am sorry to bring you such a heavy message; I do love you, and care about you receiving mercy in that hour of need. We must work together to please The Father, and accomplish our lot.
I explained to Tsephenyahu The Fathers House needs a little work still, and not to be expecting perfection in the people. The two of us are having problems with the cold, and cruel nature of the Elders. You are wearing our patience thin with the abominations in The Father’s House; Disgusting rules allowing oral sex, masturbation, multiple wives, smoking, not separating the clean, from the unclean, spitting on the grounds, foul mouth sermons, Elders cursing, you won’t hug your brother, but you allow dogs, and cats in your homes, etc… Do you have no fear of HWHY . You have built a tower full of abominations, with wheat, and tears jumping off the top, standing in a lake of blood. All this blood is on your head, because you failed to purge sin from your camp. Our job was to train Kings for The Kingdom, not piercing ears, and making slaves of those prospective Kings. I have a pup tent with a few spots on it, with some fruit in my tree, and no blood on my hands. Yisrayl, every soul that left The House, because of your false teachings, or prophesies; their blood is on your head. If you do not listen to Tsephenyahu The Father will curse your most loved children, and wives with sickness, and death, until you do listen.
I have lived with Tsephenyahu for seven years, He will never lie to you, and His prayers are answered fast. I can promise in 30 days He will show you how to get sin out of the camp. I do not suggest provoking this Man to wrath. Question Kepha about Him you will find He is not like anyone else you have met. Then give Him the opportunity to help you. You will be well pleased with the results, I promise.
I LOVE YOU, and Blessing of HWHY be upon you.

These Prophesy is for the last days time period. They all tell us to beware of the ones teaching us!
The House of Yahweh, and The Assemblies of Yahweh, and the other churches that have ex-communicated me, are ALL suffering from heavy sickness, and death in their families. Leaders I am praying everyday for your correction, and fast recovery from your sins. I am also educating your congregation in the upright ways of The Heavenly Father. I am not taking your people away from your church. I am educating them, so they too, can see your errors in doctrine. I encourage people to continue going to their old church, and help others to also see their errors. Some pastors do not like me, because they know they are wrong in what they teach, and others are just unlearned, and fear anything new. I bring truth, and those that study will understand. Members If you want your sickness, and death to stop, then keep the Laws, ALL OF THEM. Love The Heavenly Father with all your heart, and love your brothers as The Moshiach said. If I have been kicked out of your church, then forgive me! Quickly! And get me back into your church. Because until you forgive your brother, and help the poor, these curses will only get worse! It's really sad when you're leaders decide who is going to be your friend! I really want to be your friend, but your leader is making your decision for you. Careful, you may entertain Malakim unaware!
John 16
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth HWHY service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
The Book of Enoch
45
1 And this is the second Parable concerning
those who deny the Name of the dwelling of the Set-A-Part Ones and the
Maker of
Spirits. 2 And into the heaven they shall not ascend, And on the earth
they shall not come: Such shall be the lot of the sinners Who have denied
the Name of the Maker of Spirits, Who are thus preserved for the day of
suffering and tribulation. 3 On that day Mine Elect One shall sit on the throne
of Power And shall try their works, And their places of rest shall
be innumerable. And their souls shall grow strong within them when they
see Mine Elect Ones, And those who have called upon My Set-A-Part Name: 4
Then will I cause Mine Elect One to dwell among them. And I will transform
the heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light: And I will transform
the earth and make it a blessing: 5 And I will cause Mine Elect Ones to
dwell upon it: But the sinners and evil-doers shall not set foot thereon. 6 For
I have provided and satisfied with peace My Righteous Ones And have
caused them to dwell before Me: But for the sinners there is judgment
impending with Me, So that I shall destroy them from the face of the
earth.
YESHAYAHU 58 / Isaiah 58
58 “Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression, and the house of Yaaqov their sins. 2“Yet they seek Me day by day, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Creator. They ask of Me rulings of righteousness, they delight in drawing near to the Creator. 3They say, "Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our beings, and You took no note?" “Look, in the day of your fasting you find pleasure, and drive on all your laborers. 4“Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wrongness. You do not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high. 5 “Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his being? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to HWHY? 6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loosen the tight cords of wrongness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to exempt the oppressed, and to break off every yoke? 7“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, and cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8“Then your light would break forth like the morning, your healing spring forth speedily. And your righteousness shall go before you, the esteem of HWHY would be your rear guard. 9“Then, when you call, HWHY would answer; when you cry, He would say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and the speaking of unrighteousness, 10 if you extend your being to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted being, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness be as noon. 11 “Then HWHY would guide you continually, and satisfy your being in drought, and strengthen your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 12 “And those from among you shall build the old waste places. You shall raise up the foundations of many generations. And you would be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. 13“If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My Set-Apart Day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the Set-Apart Day of HWHY ‘Esteemed,’ and shall Esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, 14 then you shall delight yourself in HWHY. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Yaaqov your father. For the mouth of HWHY has spoken!”
59 Look, the hand of HWHY has not become too short to save, nor His ear too heavy to hear. 2 But your crookednesses have separated you from your Creator. Because of your sins He’s hidden His face from you, from hearing. 3 For your hands have been defiled with blood, and your fingers with crookedness; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters unrighteousness. 4 No one calls for righteousness, and no one pleads for truth. They trust in emptiness and speak worthlessness; they conceive trouble and bring forth wickedness. 5 They have hatched adders’ eggs and they weave the spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs dies, and when one is broken an adder is hatched. 6 Their webs do not become garments, nor do they cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of wickedness, and a deed of violence is in their hands. 7 Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness, wasting and ruin are in their highways. 8 The way of peace they have not known, and there is no right-ruling in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves, whoever treads in them shall not know peace. 9Therefore right-ruling has been far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in thick darkness! 10We feel for the wall like the blind, and we feel as without eyes. At noon we stumble as at twilight, in deserted places, like the dead. 11 All of us growl like bears, and moan sadly like doves. We look for right-ruling, but there is none; for deliverance, but it is far from us. 12For our transgressions have increased before You, and our sins witnessed against us. For our transgressions are with us, and as for our crookednesses, we know them: 13 transgressing, and being untrue to HWHY, and turning away from your Creator, speaking oppression and apostasy, conceiving and pondering words of falsehood from the heart. 14 And right-ruling is driven back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has fallen in the street, and righteousness is unable to enter. 15 And the truth is lacking, and whoever turns away from evil makes himself a prey. And HWHY saw, and it displeased Him that there was no right-ruling. 16 And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor. So His own arm saved for Him, and His righteousness upheld him. 17And He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance on His head. And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself with ardor as a mantle. 18 According to their deeds, so He repays, wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies. He repays recompense to the coastlands. 19 And they shall fear the Name of HWHY from the west, and His Esteem from the rising of the sun, when He comes like a distressing stream which the Spirit of HWHY drives on. 20“And the Redeemer shall come to Tsiyon, and to those turning from transgression in Yaaqov,” declares HWHY. 21“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” said HWHY: “My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth, shall not be withdrawn from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” said HWHY, “from this time and forever.” all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side.
Jubilees
[Chapter 6]
1 And on the new moon of the third month he went forth from the ark, and built
an altar on
2 that mountain. And he made atonement for the earth, and took a kid and made
atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the earth; for everything that had
been on it had been destroyed, save
3 those that were in the ark with Noah. And he placed the fat thereof on the
altar, and he took an ox, and a goat, and a sheep and kids, and salt, and a
turtle-dove, and the young of a dove, and placed a burnt sacrifice on the altar,
and poured thereon an offering mingled with oil, and sprinkled wine and strewed
frankincense over everything, and caused a bountiful savour to arise, acceptable
before
4
HWHY.
And
HWHY
smelt the bountiful savour, and He made a covenant with him that there should not
be any more a flood to destroy the earth; that all the days of the earth
seed-time and harvest should never cease; cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night should not
5 change their order, nor cease for ever. 'And you, increase ye and multiply
upon the earth, and become many upon it, and be a blessing upon it. The fear of
you and the dread of you I will
6 inspire in everything that is on earth and in the sea. And behold I have given
unto you all beasts, and all winged things, and everything that moves on the
earth, and the fish in the waters, and all
7 things for food; as the green herbs, I have given you all things to eat. But
flesh, with the life thereof, with the blood, ye shall not eat; for the life of
all flesh is in the blood, lest your blood of your lives be required. At the
hand of every man, at the hand of every (beast) will I require the
8 blood of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for
in the image of
9,10
HWHY
made He man. And you, increase ye, and multiply on the earth.' And Noah and his
sons swore that they would not eat any blood that was in any flesh, and he made
a covenant before the
11 Heavenly Father for ever throughout all the generations of the earth in this month.
On this account He spake to thee that thou shouldst make a covenant with the
children of Israel in this month upon the mountain with an oath, and that thou
shouldst sprinkle blood upon them because of all the words
12 of the covenant, which the Heavenly Father made with them for ever. And this testimony
is written concerning you that you should observe it continually, so that you
should not eat on any day any blood of beasts or birds or cattle during all the
days of the earth, and the man who eats the blood of beast or of cattle or of
birds during all the days of the earth, he and his seed shall be rooted out of
the land.
13 And do thou command the children of Israel to eat no blood, so that their
names and their seed
14 may be before
HWHY
continually. And for this Law there is no limit of days, for it is for ever.
They shall observe it throughout their generations, so that they may continue
supplicating on your behalf with blood before the altar; every day and at the
time of morning and evening they shall seek forgiveness on your behalf
perpetually before the Heavenly Father that they may keep
15 it and not be rooted out. And He gave to Noah and his sons a sign that there
should not again
16 be a flood on the earth. He set His bow in the cloud for a sign of the
eternal covenant that there
17 should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the
earth. For this reason it is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets, that
they should celebrate the feast of weeks in this
18 month once a year, to renew the covenant every year. And this whole festival
was celebrated in heaven from the day of creation till the days of Noah
-twenty-six jubilees and five weeks of years [1309-1659 A.M.]: and Noah and his
sons observed it for seven jubilees and one week of years, till the day of
Noah's death, and from the day of Noah's death his sons did away with (it) until
the days of Abraham, and
19 they eat blood. But Abraham observed it, and Isaac and Jacob and his children
observed it up to thy days, and in thy days the children of Israel forgot it
until ye celebrated it anew on this mountain.
20 And do thou command the children of Israel to observe this festival in all
their generations for a
21 commandment unto them: one day in the year in this month they shall celebrate
the festival. For it is the Feast of Weeks and the feast of first fruits: this
feast is twofold and of a double nature:
22 according to what is written and engraven concerning it, celebrate it. For I
have written in the book of the first Law, in that which I have written for
thee, that thou shouldst celebrate it in its season, one day in the year, and I
explained to thee its sacrifices that the children of Israel should remember and
should celebrate it throughout their generations in this month, one day in every
year.
23 And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new moon of the fourth
month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on the new moon of the
tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four
divisions of the year. These are written and ordained
24 as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the
generations for ever,
25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him. And on the new moon of
the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark, and on that (day) the
earth became dry and he opened
26 (the ark) and saw the earth. And on the new moon of the fourth month the
mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new moon of
the seventh month all the mouths of
27 the abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into
them. And on the new
28 moon of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was
glad. And on this account he ordained them for himself as Feasts for a memorial
for ever, and thus are they ordained.
29 And they placed them on the heavenly tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from
one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from
the second to the third, and from the
30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the commandment will be two and
fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. Thus it is
engraven and ordained on the heavenly
31 tablets. And there is no neglecting (this commandment) for a single year or
from year to year.
32 And command thou the children of Israel that they observe the years according
to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will
constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and
from its Feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to
33 their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts.
But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment,
then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from
this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years
34 will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances. And all the
children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will
forget the new moons, and seasons, and Sabbaths
35 and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I know and from
henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for
the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of
days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant
36 and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after
their ignorance. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of
the moon -how (it) disturbs the
37 seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. For this reason the
years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an
abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they
will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with
the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and Sabbaths and feasts and
38 jubilees. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst
testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that
they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this
reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and Sabbaths and
Festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.

Hermas
1[66]:1 After a few days I saw him on the same plain, where also I had
seen the shepherds, and he saith to me, "What seekest thou?"
"I am here, Sir," say I, "that thou mayest bid the shepherd
that punisheth go out of my house; for he afflicteth me much."
"It is necessary for thee," saith he, "to be afflicted; for
so," saith he, "HWHY ordered as concerning thee,
for he wisheth thee to be proved." "Why, what so evil thing have
I done, Sir," say I, "that I should be delivered over to this
Malak?"
Hermas
1[66]:2 "Listen," saith he. "Thy sins are many, yet not so
many that thou shouldest be delivered over to this Malak; but thy house
has committed great iniquities and sins, and the Honored Malak was
embittered at their deeds, and for this cause he bade thee be afflicted
for a certain time, that they also might repent and cleanse themselves
from every lust of this world. When therefore they shall repent, and be
cleansed, then shall the Malak of Punishment depart."
Hermas
1[66]:3 I say to him; "Sir, if they perpetrated such deeds that the
Honored Malak is embittered, what have I done?" "They cannot be
afflicted otherwise," saith he, "unless thou, the head of the
[whole] house, be afflicted; for if thou be afflicted, they also of
necessity will be afflicted; but if thou be prosperous, they can suffer no
affliction."
Hermas
1[66]:4 "But behold, Sir," say I, "they have repented with
their whole heart." "I am quite aware myself," saith he,
"that they have repented with their whole heart; well, thinkest thou
that the sins of those who repent are forgiven forthwith? Certainly not;
but the person who repents must torture his own soul, and must be
thoroughly humble in his every action, and be afflicted with all the
divers kinds of affliction; and if he endure the afflictions which come
upon him, assuredly He Who created all things and endowed them with power
will be moved with compassion and will bestow some remedy.
Hermas 1[66]:5 And this (will HWHY do), if in any way He perceive the heart of the penitent Pure from every evil thing. But it is expedient for thee, and for thy house that thou shouldest be afflicted now. But why speak I many words to thee? Thou must be afflicted as the Malak of the HWHY Com
