    I am looking for help to understand the chapter in Matthew 17. Can someone help me to understand why Jesus tells His deciples what He does?? What is it about the posession of this particular one that is met with such a struggle requiring fasting?

    Thank you in advance those who have a meat diet in the study!

    The Hebrew Aleph Bet.
    Yeshua (Jesus) tells Yochanan in Revelations that he is the Aleph and the Tav (alpha and omega). Since aleph is the First letter in the aleph bet and tav is the last letter this is another way in which Yeshua was saying he is the Word for all Hebrew words are formed via the aleph bet. Its interesting that the book of Yochanan starts out with John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
    "In the beginning" is also how the Torah begins!The first word of Torah is Barashet ("in the beginning")..... spelled in Hebrew: Tav Yod Shin Aleph Resh Bet..... (from left to right)
     Each letter has a meaning of course. Bet- house, tent, family/ Resh- head, first, highest (bet and resh together make up bar- son of) without seperation letters still mean head of the house or first in the house/ Aleph - ox, bull(head), - first , ultimate, G-d, power/ Shin - teeth- to destroy or consume/ Yod- arm, hand, - power works, hand, effort/ Tav- a cross - mark of the covenant, sign, signal ("it is finished" / just as the aleph bet ends with a cross).. Thus altogether the meaning of these letters (of the first word of Torah) is to say .... "The Son of G-D will be destroyed (or killed) by his own hand on a cross" .... Thus the Gospel message was found "in the beginning" Of Torah!

    More on the Aleph Bet

    In the Hebrew texts of the Shema (Deut.6:4), the ayin in shema (hear) and the dalet in echad (one) are enlarged. This spells the word ayd (witness). The symbols of the aleph bet of this word is "see the door" (ayin- to see, to know, to expierence/ dalet- a door, pathway. to enter) We know that Yahshua (Jesus) IS the door (Jn.10:9)! We know that Yahshua came to this earth to open up blind eyes. This highlights the role of Israel. Shema (Hear and do). A calling to be echad (one) with Yod Heh Vav Heh and to be a witness of what it is to be in covenant with Hashem (a light unto the nations). Yeshua lived the Shema!

    One sows, another waters but it is God who gives the increase (even what we sow and water, it is from His increase) God's people always give Him the glory! 1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

    Many ask what is the reason for this life. Rev.4:11 To please Yah ("Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."). His Word tells us how to do this. Question now is are we pleasing unto the Father. We know he said of Yahushua (Jesus) This is my son in whom I Am well pleased. Thus If we be in him and he in us we are pleasing unto the Father! The only way you can Fulfill Torah is by the Righteousness of Yahushua!

    Ha= the/ Yah= I Am (hayah)/ Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am (H#1961) hath sent me unto you."
    The Hebrew for "I Am" is "hâyâh"
    The I Am
    Sometimes it just doesn't seem right to just say Yah seeing as it means "I Am" cause I Am not G-D (When trying to mention G-D i dont care to have the thought enter my mind that i'm mentioning myself (I Am) thus sometimes it seems for appropriate to say HaYah (The I Am). This isnt the direct context of this Word though but does it have a double meaning (one for this context alone) cause hayah = " A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use."/ Seems like a more appropriate way of identifying G-D than calling him Hashem (The Name)!..

    All men have partaken of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil (sin) and lest they put forth their hand and partake of the tree of life (choose life/good) then they shall die in their sin. literal "hell" is simply to say the physical grave (All will die physically Cause again all have sinned) yet the figurative sense of "hell" is the torment which is an effect of transgression of G-D.

    The Lake of Fire is the eternal judgement on those who willingly reject G-D at judgement We are told the elect are priests unto the lost souls during the Lord's day  (Rev.20) so they all have a chance to receive or reject the good news (Gospel). I dont think the so called "priest" is qualified for that title. Also every knee will bow to Christ at his coming the question then wont be did you not know who Christ was the question will be where is your heart (what is your spiritual state) and final judgement doesnt come until the End of the Lord's day when all have been free from temptaions of the flesh and Satan for a day (1000yrs) thus pleading ignorance Wont Work

    Someone asked me to show where Christ claimed he died for sins and that person made the claim that this was only a teaching of Paul. They obviously didnt read the bible. John the baptist Jhn 1:29 Caiaphas Jhn 11:49 , Jhn 11:51-52/ Jesus /Matthew- Matt.26:26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins./Peter 1Pe 2:24/ Paul 1Co 5:21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him./Isaiah Is 53:5,6

    Many that live sheltered lives tend to think all people are "good". Not thinking twice about letting growing children walk down a secluded or busy street to a friends house, leaving doors unlocked, taking in the media, Hollywood, secular music, without spiritual discernment discernment, yet who wants to live their lives looking over their shoulder for devils and being too reserved to have social relations? 

    The secular world is pushing agendas and standards on the people. Anyone of any age when open to enough dark messages will soon start to be darkened. Kids shows now raise up witchcraft, necromancy, homosexuality, disrespect,.... public radio plays foul language messages of fornication, drug dealing, murder, you name it.

    The Moshiach

    The Jews believe that a “Moshiach” (Messiah) will usher in a new world at the end of days, which the Torah references in Numbers 24:14: “And now, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you … what this people will do to your people at the end of days." The Moshiach will be a learned leader who is prophetic like Moses and wiser than Solomon. The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Joel and Hosea all refer to the messianic era. Jews believe this messianic era will happen when they have proven themselves worthy through their “mitzvoh” (good deeds); therefore much of Jewish ritual and tradition center around service and giving back to community. Though the Moshiach could come at any time in any generation, the Talmud states that it will be before the Hebrew year 6000 (approximately 2239 on the Gregorian calendar) and after that, a resurrection of the dead and Day of Judgment will follow. http://classroom.synonym.com/jewish-beliefs-judgment-day-7624.html Personal note Not sure of the author or if the author is even Jewish.

    Some ask where does bible suggest believers of the nations are called Christian?
    To often men require the Word say what they want it to say & how they want it to read. Christian is mentioned (Acts 11:26, 26:28, 1 Pet.4:16) in the bible. Christian means follower of Messiah and He told his disciples to "Follow" him Mk.10:21 Matt.4:19-20
     This is an identification adopted by Greek based believers in Christ (following the cross). Messiah was sent to the lost sheep of Israel and redeemed Israel then sent his Apostels to the nations with the good news.

    Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." ... His Hebrew name IS "Salvation" of Yah. Yah's name is in messiah's name for Messiah came in the Shem of The Almighty (Father). Ex.23:21/ Jn.5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Name in Hebrew is Shem and Shem means both Name and Character. Yeshua came to do the will of he who sent him. Is.9:6 "and his name (Shem- name and character) shall be called.."... "(El Gibbor) mighty G-d, Everlasting Father,.." He came in the Shem of HaShem. He also said He who believeth on me believeth not on me but he who sent me. Yes by his shem we are saved cause his "Shem" IS The Word of G-D, The Will of G-d, The Gospel (or "Salvation of Yah"- Yeshua/ Jesus). Messiah taught us to pray to The Almighty (Father) and when we pray to the Father in Yeshua's name we are professing the gospel (good news/ victory) over ourselves.

    A tempter(Matt.4:3) attempted to tempt Yeshua but Never succeeded and Yeshua (the anointed) did this by the Power of YHVH. Looking back on that can you say that Messiah Yeshua was tempted? Matt.4 1) Christ's responce to first attempt " But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." He rejected the tempter and gave glory to G-D. 2) THen the tempter attempted  to have Messiah tempt G-D!!! Messiah's responce was "Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."... 3) Messiah responded "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." ... The Tempter Failed ... Making an attempt to "tempt" G-d never works thats why G-D "can't" be tempted! The Torah has G-d saying that the people Had Tempted him and Warns them NOT to do it AGAIN!!!!!! (and failed of course)!!!!!!!.... Duet.6:16 "You shall not try the Lord, your God, as you tried Him in Massah."!!!!!!.... Ex.17:3 So the people quarreled with Moses, and they said, Give us water that we may drink Moses said to them, Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?

    (Mal.3:10 Told to test)

    (The wicked seeketh after a sign Lk.11:26/ Mk.8:11-12)

    Difference in two kinds of testing Heb.11:1 (Faith)

    There are three basic biblical uses of the term "Jew" ,
    /1/Physical Line: One who is of the tribe (descendants) of Judah (Many like to stereotype all members of all the tribes of Israel as Jews as well yet all these tribes were known by their own tribal titles however any member of any tribe can also identify as a Jew in other ways) King Line/ Since Judah is the King line and Israel is the kingdom Those with physical relation to Israel are Jews in that saying Jew is another way of saying your of the kingdom of Israel. Many claim physical relation without evidence (Good and bad figs just cause someone is physically related doesnt mean they walk in covenant ..................................................................................................................... /2/Geographical: One who resides in Judea/territory of Judah during the times of the kingdom (also during times of two captials those of Israel who embraced King of Jerusalem as King and Jerusalem as the captial of Israel)
    *The Tares have often used this use of the term "Jew" to infiltrate and assume the identity of being a "Jew" or of the kingdom of Israel. Its important to note that Each tribe was given its own territory except for The Levites (Priest Line). The Levities were known to dwell throughout the territories yet YHVH was their inheritance the Levitical priests served in the territory of Judah (the captial and location of the temple and thus were considered Jews by this context........................................................................................................
    /3/-Faith (or religion/ Inwardly): Anyone who embraces The Word of God, Torah ( Tanakh,... Gen. through Rev,...)THose in the faith delievered to Israel or according to modern concepts, One who embraces "rabbinical Judaism". This concept can also used by outsiders and fakes in replacement theology.

    Wikipedia - “Davidic Line”: 

    “In Jewish eschatology, the term mashiach, or "Messiah", came to refer to a future Jewish Kingfrom the Davidic line, who is expected to be anointed with holy anointing oil and rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age.[6][7][8] The Messiah is often referred to as "King Messiah", or, in Hebrew, מלך משיח (melekh mashiach), and, in Aramaic, malka meshiḥa.[9]

    Orthodox views have generally held that the Messiah will be descended from his father through the line of King David,[10] and will gather the Jews back into the Land of Israel, usher in an era of peace, build the Third Temple, father a male heir, re-institute the Sanhedrin, and so on. Jewish tradition alludes to two redeemers, both of whom are called mashiach and are involved in ushering in the Messianic age: Mashiach ben David; and Mashiach ben Yosef. In general, the term Messiah unqualified refers to Mashiach ben David (Messiah, son of David).[6][7]”

    Proverbs 3:13
    “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding”.

    The word, “happy,” is the Hebrew word, “esher”, meaning also, “blessed,” and used as an interjected expression.

    Deuteronomy 33:29, “Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee , O people saved by the Lord...”

    1Kings 10:8,
    “Happy are thy men, Happy are thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.”

    Job 5:7, “Behold, Happy is the man whom God correcteth...”

    Psalm 1:1,”Blessed (esher) is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly...”

    Psalm 2:12, “Kiss the Son lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

    Psalm 32:1, “Blessed (or happy) is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered...”

    Psalm 32:2, “Blessed (or happy) is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.”

    Psalm 33:12, “Blessed (or happy) is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.”

    Psalm 34:8, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed (or happy) is the man that trusteth in Him.”

    Psalm 40:4, “Blessed (or happy) is the man who maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.”

    Psalm 41:1, “Blessed (or happy) is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.”

    Psalm 65:4, “Blessed (or happy) is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts...”
    (On and on Psalms 84:4,5; 89:15; 94:12; 106:3; 112:1; 119:1,2; 127:5...)

    Random Facebook question: “Is showing obeisance to Jesus as King and Lord equal to worshipping God?” 

    My responce

    Jn 12:44 “Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. “....He who rejects The most anointed rejects he who anointed him. He does the will of G-D and that which he is and does is Elohim (Devine judgement and authority)...David wasn’t wrong when he said The LORD said unto my lord!/ the one place NT mentions someone worshiped Yeshua the subject is bowing. It’s not idolatry to acknowledge Yeshua as lord.

    Adar I is considered the "extra" month. As a result, someone born in Adar during a non leap year would celebrate their birthday in Adar II during a leap year. However, someone born during either Adar in a leap year will celebrate their birthday during Adar in a non-leap year, except that someone born on 30 Adar I will celebrate their birthday on 1 Nisan in a non-leap year because Adar in a non-leap year has only 29 days.

    Thanksgiving Offering,1 which an individual could bring to the Temple on any weekday. It was brought as expression of thanks to G‑d by someone who experienced any of four specific kinds of danger: a captive who was freed; a person who crossed the sea; one who traversed the desert, and someone who has recovered from an illness. During the offering of this sacrifice on the Altar in the Temple, the joyful Psalm 100 would be sung by the Levites. This is now part of the morning service on weekdays. Together with the offering would be a number of Matzot (unleavened bread) and loaves of leavened bread. The minimum number was three Matzot, and one leavened loaf.

    Have heard many say “freedom” is not worrying about things you can’t control (change). Often said by people trying to cope with stress…. I question this…. Do you determine what you have control of before inspiring to change it? Or do you not have that “freedom”?……. …there is something In doing all you can to change something even when (if) it’s not accepted or productive. Example the gospel was taken to a rebellious society and they rejected it and it was said unto them that the day of judgement would be more tolerable for the souls of sodom and gamorah than for those people cause sodom and gamorah never received the ministry and was rebellious by culture but this culture had heard the good news and rejected it. Those who took it to them and were rejected did their job regardless how is was taken. We don’t control how something is received or not received and that shouldn’t keep you from doing the right thing. Some people reject things on the surface but keep it on a self to revisit it later in life and can have a change of heart later. Don’t shake off the dust prematurely do all you can (actions , words)to stand and if rejected then shake off the dust knowing you did what you were lead to do.

    Shemot Rabba 25:12; Yerushalmi, Ta’anit1:1 “Though I have set a limit to ‘the end,’ that it will happen in its time regardless of whether they will do teshuvah or not… the scion of David (Mashiach) will come if they keep just one Shabbat, because the Shabbat is equivalent to all the mitzvot.”
