Jocelyn wrote these Scriptures up for a post on my FaceBook Wall, and I think it is good to have them all on one place here.
They are all about man and Torah. Torah is often translated as Law, but is more correctly translated as teachings or instruction. Either way, it is the heart of YHVH and his love for his people, and not at all a burden, so we should love and cling to it with all that we are!
Anyone who wishes to call the Torah (The Law) bondage or abolished calls the Father and his Word a liar:
But if a person looks closely into the PERFECT Torah, which gives FREEDOM, and continues, becoming NOT a forgetful hearer but a DOER of …the work it requires, then he will be BLESSED in what he does. (James 1:25)
For it is not merely the HEARERS of Torah whom God considers righteous; rather, it is the DOERS of what Torah says who will be made righteous in God’s sight. (Romans 2:13)
“Don’t think that I have come to ABOLISH the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to COMPLETE (Greek word: to supply liberally). Yes indeed! I tell you that UNTIL heaven and earth PASS AWAY, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. So whoever DISOBEYS the least of these commands and TEACHES others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5: 17-19)
The way we can be sure we know him is if we are obeying his commands. Anyone who says, “I know him,” but isn’t obeying his commands is a liar – the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3-4)
For the mind controlled by the old nature is hostile to God, because it does not submit itself to God’s Torah – indeed, it cannot. – Romans 8:7
There are many, many more, but this is a good start.
what are your favourite verses that show you what Torah is to man?
Shalom!!

New Moon Report

The moon was first sighted from Mount Tabor by Nehemia Gordon at 19:37 and shortly thereafter by Eddy Queen, Daniel Queen, Nathan Queen, and Abby Queen. The moon was also sighted from Jerusalem by Terry Telligman at 19:41. Pictures of the new moon from Mount Tabor taken by Abby Queen are posted at:

I read Twitter and FaceBook, and I think, “just as in the days of Noah, eating and drinking, getting married….” earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars… Is anyone aware of what is happening at the center of the world, Jerusalem?
@Jerusalem_Post: US: Direct talks ‘getting closer’: Abbas: “No human being could tolerate the pressure we are under.” http://bit.ly/cUCjTq
JPost: ‘Voluntary Settler Return Law’ The peace process cannot be put off any longer… two states for two peoples. http://bit.ly/dfQVZQ
I know that there may be a lot of things we have said that you may not understand. Or maybe you don’t want to hear from us. Maybe you think we are spiritually off…. Please don’t let that get in the way of your future. This is all such a big learning, all Scriptural, that it is too much to sit down and teach in a few minutes. It has taken us months and even a year, and we are still learning. The problem is that, even without this teaching or understanding, these times will soon be upon us anyway. Even if I stick my head in the sand, these times will come. This is one thing I am finding that Christians do not make sense on…. they want everything to be well and good in the world, and they want Messiah to return…. but don’t understand that his return means chaos and the worst times in history.
It has to happen.
Do we KNOW for certainty it WILL happen this year? No. We DO want to be ready, watching, lamps full, prepared for all things ahead, though!
Yes, have faith. No, do not fear. BUT, obey and prepare by researching – understanding all he has given us to understand in Scripture!!!
SO, I am just passing this info along. Below is a series of emails I received. It is Scriptural prophecy for Sept. 2010, based on (God’s)YHVH’s calendar. PLEASE look into it at the least. We are going to go and watch it, as we have not yet. May the Father give you his mind in this and walk with you through it.
Link is at the bottom.
When you are ready, we are here. We do NOT know the time of his return, but we do know from the Scriptures the Feast he will return during. It comes with a new moon, unknown to humans(no man knows the hour), like “a thief in the night”.
We have also researched a lot of things, and we know that many things will shut down when missiles start flying, including banks and credit cards (stocks will crash and iras/portfolios will be non-existent), the dollar is already in jeopardy now and will be worthless-HOW will you buy and sell?? Be paid by your job??, most likely the internet and autos will be out as well as airline flights canceled, due to the EMPs. Martial law (American or NWO) will be necessary for the fear and population control. The 3rd world countries will be the least of their worries. Keep these things in mind.
(ooooohhhhh, I SO want to explain it all – all we have learned – but I can’t in this short post without making it seem more jumbled. I’m sorry I can’t!!)
Do NOT tell me about the rapture theory. I’m sorry to tell you it isn’t going to happen the way it’s been told.
Just so you will be prepared for the times to shortly come and not taken by surprise….
“1 The word of YHVH came to me: 2 “Human being, speak to your people; say to them, ‘Suppose I bring the sword on a country, and the people of that country take one of their men and appoint him their watchman. 3 Now if, upon seeing the sword coming against that country, he blows the shofar and warns the people; 4 then, if the sword comes and takes away someone who heard the sound of the shofar but paid no attention to it, the responsibility for that person’s death will be his own – 5 he heard the shofar but paid no attention, so the responsibility for his death is his own; whereas if he had paid attention, he would have saved his life. 6But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, so that the people are not warned; and then the sword comes and takes any one of them, that one is indeed taken away in his guilt, but I will hold the watchman responsible for his death.’”
Ezekiel 33:1-6
Love you all.
Shalom and blessings,
Matt & Jacque
The emails are below. I want to give you a link of an interesting site that tells a lot of information on these times. The man is a Christian, so I disagree on some of his beliefs, obviously, but, he has studied this and understands a lot of what is coming. You will find him at http://endofamericabook.com/. Be sure to look at his FAQ page, if you have objections to what he reveals.
AT THE LEAST, LOOK INTO YOUR FUTURE THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES.

Subject: New Moon Tuesday? Not likely!
Watching and Praying (New Moon Feast of Trumpets watch)
Please consider fasting and praying to get rid of unbelief so that you may take actions of preparation for the times ahead as all things are possible to those who believe!
Not likely to see this Tuesday at Zero percent illumination at 9 am and 1% at 12 noon. If we cannot see the first sliver of the New Moon today- this keeps us on track for 9-11 Feast of Trumpets. Only YHWH can change His calendar! (Which is neither Hillel’s manmade calendar the Orthodox use; nor with emphasis- Pope Gregory’s Gregorian Calendar) We shall wait and see. I have added some “YOU TUBE” prophecies that I expect are accurate to watch on you tube if you wish. Also, I concur with a prophetic voice in Texas (Randy Chandler) whom I have watched (in review) his prophecies be right and exact; that the DJIA (Stock Mrkt) will rise this fall to 12,200 PRIOR to Israel acting in self defense in taking out an Arab country (I believe Isa 17:1- Damascus where they train Hamas and have 1000’s of missiles armed with chemical WMD now aimed at Israel which would overwhelm Israel’s Missile Defense Systems) The whole world will then be against Israel as war breaks out taking oil to unprecedented highs crashing USA economy and indeed the world’s.
Shalom,
Thurston

Please also note these prophecies if you wish- here they are….
(Amo 3:7) For the Master יהוה does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
I watched all of these you tubes (they play simultaneously) but after his blowing the shofar earlier; video # 9 tells much as a recap. I expect this will happen very soon- this fall- Sept and Oct ( 2 volcanoes- lake erie and another- with ash covering the US making it difficult to breathe, nuclear bombs near LA and San Diego among many) then Russia and China hit us; just like I was shown also. REPENT and draw near to YHWH! Note they are from a man named Matthew Stephen and I believe he is right on.
Shalom to your home,
Thurston

We are busy preparing for Shabbat, getting all things-related work finished up, food prepared for tonight and tomorrow. Matt put screen on the kitchen window and wants to get some on another window before Shabbat begins… and it is soon upon us!
We will be having spaghetti and sauce tonight, a la Ra’chel. She has also prepared the hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, some popcorn for a snack for tomorrow and the iced tea, too. That girl is on the ball and has become a whirlwind in the kitchen for the past few weeks, taking over a lot of the kitchen as well as laundry duties on her own!
Matt and the Littles and Eric just came back form the little mercado with some pinas and sandias(pineapples and watermelons), which we will likely eat for dessert tonight, and then for breakfast or with lunch tomorrow. Hannah put beans in the crockpot early this afternoon with onions and garlic, and we have yet to get the rice finished up for tomorrow’s lunch.
I am trying to get a page on Dixon Families Ministries updated to share our needs with our supporters and a plan for their – and your – support of our family here as we continue to minister online and share the truth of Torah with anyone whom the Father sends into our path….
So, Shabbat Shalom, my friends! And, be sure to check out this post written by our friend, Leslie. She has a great resource to send people to who are looking for Scriptural support for keeping the Father’s commandments: Does it REALLY matter how I worship the Lord?
Shabbat Shalom, friends!

Is the church just a building to meet in?
That is not the origin of the modern-day churches. They started as obelisks (think steeples), which are pointing to the sun god, with the worshipers standing out around it worshiping.
[We have one in Washington, called the Washington Monument, how nice, huh?]
Well, then, being humans, well, we had to have a place to keep out of that hot sun and the rain, etc, as we worshiped the pagan gods, so a small building was added – our present-day sanctuaries. However, they kept the obelisk to the sun god as the steeple, which is what most churches have today.
So, whether we have a pagan steeple today or not and whether or not we meet for the reasons of worshiping the sun god, we are still worshiping in a building that was originally created to worship a pagan god and we ARE still worshiping on the Sun god’s day, SUNday, in direct opposition to the given day, Shabbat, the 7th day on which the Father rested.
THIS is part of what we are told to destroy. THIS is what we are told to not be a part of. We may not sacrifice to gods on an alter, but THESE are the pagan practices today that we practice, much like when Josiah had to do the same thing. He had to go through what his people thought were normal practices, and he had to destroy them. It was what they knew, but it was PAGAN. We also have been taught lies, plain and simple. A LOT of Christianity has come from the mixing of true practices with pagan practices to include those who were not Believers.
Constantine did a number on the TRUE BELIEVERS, when he mixed with the pagans and decided to ‘cleanse’ his religion (catholicism/christianity) of all of the semitism(in other words, TORAH TRUTHS). This is when it came about that he changed the day of worship to the day of worshiping HIS god, the sun, and any other god they worshiped at the time. This was man’s doing, but it is now preached as Scriptural doctrine.
So, if it is pagan to worship on the day of the sun, then, you decide: Is it pagan to go to a building constructed of pagan origins and worship on the day of the sun? Or is it ok, as long as you rest on Shabbat to go and partake of pagan practices on the Sun’s day and call it worship of the Father?
We have to destroy these practices from our lives! We simply can’t dabble in anything pagan as a part of our worship of the Father. He told us not to even use the pagan’s ways and make them “holy” to worship him with. He wants to be the set apart GOD, set apart from the other gods, not worshiped in how they are worshiped. He already set all the ways to worship him and told us how in the Scriptures. We just haven’t been taught them and don’t know them.
He wants obedience, not sacrifice. His words are not subjective; we just don’t understand them, and we have been fed a steady diet of lies our whole lives. What we need is to renew our minds and take care not to get offended when someone loves us enough to share the truth with us. We need to know these things so desperately now.
I have learned so much in such a short time, and I want everyone to know the truth who has been lied to. The time is so short.
Love in Messiah~
Here is a place with info about gods and origin of sunday worship, with some good photos, in case anyone is interested. I don’t know about the rest of the beliefs on the site, but I was looking at a more historical viewpoint anyway: http://www.sun-worship.org/
