Bringing Forth Treasures Old and New
in the course of our halak/ walk/ Journey
Strong’s Hebrew: 1980. הָלַך (halak) — to go, come, walk
we mature and the more we read and hear truth the more we recognize error and that some interpretations are derived from men’s minds and natural thinking.
It is not so strange then, if we amend our understanding of His Word from time to time.
This word is a living word and speaks directly to us. It is a miracle in and of itself. Our humility is seen as we submit to His Truth and recognize that we may have thought wrong because of some teaching we heard, or lack of it, while we were still new babes in His kingdom.
Therefore there may be what appears as inconsistencies if one reads earlier mmm posts. They have not been amended on purpose, so as to show progress, as we are all on the Way, learning as we go! No one knows everything except the Father and the scripture references that mmm was led to put on home page about seeking treasures and pearls are referring to the truth of His Word.
As we dig, He shows us more and so many times the ‘new’ is only ‘new’ to us as individuals; and it always adds to our understanding. Line upon line and preset upon precept. Is.28:10
-
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
We are not doing away with foundations rather we are building upon them.
That being said, the content of this post is a combination of old and new treasures; as much of this message was received in the early 90s and was shared with many by way of newsletter, physical meetings and radio. (No internet back then!)
So today it is an
old treasure
yet now with the Hebrew added it is a
new treasure also.
Our Heavenly Father gives teachings/ the understanding of His Word; at specific times; there is always a trend for a message to the body. 2 Peter 1:20
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The same message is given to others and that is confirmation of His time to release.
It is His Meat in due season.
Psalms 104:27 |These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
Psalms 145:15 | The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
Matthew 24:45 | Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Luke 12:42 | And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Proverbs 15:23 | man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
The subject content of every post is prayerfully received as directed by His Spirit and is to serve the needs of His ecclesia/called apart ones.
In these days when many cannot meet together or hear His words of encouragement and edification, the Internet has become a spiritual lifeline to so many. So we must work while it is day…
John 9:4 |I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
and His Word of life/chaim, can go out on the airwaves; a modern way to receive manna from Heaven right into our homes where we are.
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
Our father knows what His children’s needs are and not for fame or gain; freely we have received freely we give.
These servings of substance are to fortify the reader in every way possible.
They are not mine, ours, or otherwise, so freely share with others.
He will take His word and infuse each one with His lifes chaim.
John 6:63 | It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
That is the meaning behind the
treasures old and new –
and that each one will hear and bear witness of His truth in their own spirit.
We are all responsible to check things for ourselves.
We may differ personally on certain points however, we can only give out from the storehouse of life’s experiences. If we have not walked the walk, we have nothing to say. Until we understand who we are and why we are here, we walk in darkness and the light of His truth is not lighting our path.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Yeshua/ Jesus experienced all the issues of the natural life/
חַיִּים chaim lifes
Alternate Spellings: Hayyim, Hayim, Chayyim, Chaim, Haim
The Hebrew word for life has a special ending that is similar to the plural ending (im) but slightly different (ayim), specifically indicating that it is double, or a pair. The ending of the word chaim means specifically two lives, which speaks of God’s plan for our life here on earth, and the life to come.
so He could identify with each one of us. If you are one who wonders why so many things have befallen you; it is for you to experience them so that you can identify with others and help them, encourage them. You came through it so can they. Things He asks us to do are in
Matt.25:35-40
35 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?…
In the natural sense we understand yet there is another WAY to
Feed the hungry: which is offering the word of God as spiritual food,
Give a drink: thirsty people have their thirst satisfied by the drinking of the Words of life –
chaim – lifes
His Word is continually springing up to eternal life.
Taking in the stranger: giving them shelter from the elements and clothing the naked: is offering them the Way to receive
a garment of salvation and robe of righteousness.
Sick and you looked after Me; is offering healing by the power of His Spirit of Holiness.
In prison and you visited Me; is literally deliverance, setting captives free from spiritual bondage.
All quoted from Isaiah 61, which He read in the synagogue about Himself. He was fulfilling prophecy.
He unrolls the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, and He reads this passage from
Isaiah 61
And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears Luke 4: 21
With that said, Joel saw the future thousands of years ago and it is now meat in due season.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
50 days after Yeshua/Jesus’ resurrection
it came to pass
the outpouring of former and latter rain.
They knew it and declared it.
Acts 2:14 – 21
verse 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Before that day/ moment they were afraid and secluded away, waiting on a promise of His return/coming to them.
He did not disappoint.
The father’s spirit of holiness/Ruach HaKodesh, the same that came and rested upon Yeshua/Jesus at His baptism/immersion; came in fullness to those in that upper room. The same place they had celebrated pesach/passover 50 days before. One wonders if the water jar bearer was in the room with them?
We are familiar with the story but let’s look at some Hebrew. Remembering they were all Jewish/Hebrew.
Yeshua/ Jesus did come to them and by leaving His and the Father’s Spirit of Holiness with them, their lives changed once again.
This time with a very obvious difference.
The nervous Peter caught in denial of his rabbi Messiah, became a whole new man.
What we need to remember is this is still ongoing and it has never stopped. Whosoever will choose Him can also receive His Spirit of Holiness in fullness.
This is not to focus on any one particular doctrine or dogma; it is simply His Word with some added questions and possible answers that the writer has had over the last four decades. If we love Him we truly want to know Him more and that can be aided by seeing and discovering
the treasures in His Word, both old and new.
What Joel prophesied and what the Apostles and Disciples experienced did not end there…it has continued since and will do so until Messiah returns. We are therefore part of ActIONs of the Apostles & Disciples and as such should become familiar with the equipping of His ecclesia. (All of us).
APOSTLE (Gr. “messenger”), in early Christian usage, term applied to the disciples of Yeshua/Jesus whom He had sent out to preach His message, and occasionally also applied to other missionaries of the early period. Outside the New Testament the noun ἁπόστολος was not common in Greek, though the verb ἁποστέλλω was.
תלמידים talmidim
disciples תַלמִיד.
More Hebrew words for disciple.
noun תַלמִיד. student, pupil, scholar.
noun נוֹשֵׂא כֵּלִים.

Strong’s Hebrew: 3928. לִמֻּד (limmud) — taught
HEBREW word for apostle

More Hebrew words for apostle.
noun מַנהִיג דָת חֲדָשָׁה. apostle.
Matthew 10:2.
apostles – plural
ים שליח sh’lichim
“שליח” (Hebrew)
in English is
courier
שליח • (shliekh) m, plural שלוחים (shlukhem)
or שליחים (shlikhem),
feminine שלוחה (shlukhe)
or שליחה (shlikhe) emissary, envoy, proxy, agent;
A shaliach (Hebrew: שליח , pl. שליחים/שלוחים , shlichim/shluchim)
The Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament argues that its Christian use translated a Jewish position known in Hebrew as the sheliach (שליח). This ecclesiastical meaning of the word was later translated into Latin as “missio”, the source of the English “missionary”.
Each of the following text boxes have the paleo Hebrew letters
as well as the modern Hebrew
There is a attitude and a principle that we must live by in these days
and that is,
Our Heavenly Father must be at the center of all we do and we must be filled with His anointing.
What is that?
It is the manifested presence of Our Father God /YeHoVeH and His power flowing through us, to help us do what He has called us to do for His kingdom.
If we all not working for His kingdom, why do we need His anointing?
Truth is we don’t….
if we are not following Him,
doing what He did, being like Him.
Little christs – aka christians – little anointed ones.
There is a anointing described in acts of the apostles. It should really be titled the ActIONS of the Apostles/Disciples because they were DOING – ACTing, and it included the disciples/followers also.
How did Peter became a whole new man?
Like all those there on that day, the book of acts describes the attributes of His Spirit that they were imbued with from on high. They are
grace,
power,
boldness,
and because of their
obedience,
it bought
glory
to the Father.
If you are called you are also sent and equipped because the One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
glory
כָּבוֹד.
kavod.
We are qualified physically by all life’s experiences and spiritually by His equipping of us through His anointing and the operation of His Spirit of Holiness/ Ruach HA kodesh; by way of the gifts, working of miracles etc.
HEBREW: working of miracles עבודה של ניסים
The Hebrew word for miracles is “Nes.”
The B’nai Yisaschar defines a “nes” as an action, from God, that is supernatural. The word “nes” also means the sail of a boat.
Strong’s Hebrew: 4159. מוֹפֵת (mopheth) — a wonder, sign …
1 Cor. 12:10. The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God’s message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said.
These last days will require us to also receive what the first apostles were given.
As they were OBEDIENT, BOLDNESS was given to them to go into the dark places and take His light.
He promises to be with us IF we will go.
There is that condition word again, IF.
Be encouraged to read through acts of the apostles chapters 1 through 7 and highlight the word boldness.
This Boldness is clearly documented in the actions of the newly anointed, set apart ones /the newly Holy Spirit filled ecclesia.
HEBREW: Called apart ones נקראים בנפרד
Strong’s Hebrew: 6942. קָדַשׁ (qadash) –
– to be set apart or
consecrated
Col 1:12-15: “. . . giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, Who is the likeness of the …
Strong’s Hebrew: 972. בְּחִיר (bachir) — chosen

Power for performing miracles.
moral power and excellence of soul.
the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth.

Boldness is a strong manifestation of His spirit of holiness.
Boldness
עֹז ʻôz, oze
It comes by way of His Grace and brings glory to the Father produced by our obedience.
They, the believers received the same spirit of Holiness that we can receive and all our Father wants us to do, is to move on forward in the same spirit; and He calls us to a deeper level by entering into the fullness of that which God has for us.
Strong’s Hebrew: 7121.
קָרָא (qara) — to call, proclaim, read

Strongs’s #2227: zoopoieo – Greek
Strong’s Hebrew: 2421.
חָיָה (chayah) — live
ă·ḥay·yeh
a making alive moving from death to life.
HEBREW: כוח תחיית המתים
This Aramaic word translates into Hebrew as
תקומה ( tequmah, Strong’s #8617).
In Modern Hebrew, the word for “resurrection” is
תקומה tequmah
the same word from the Peshitta.
In the Peshitta, a 5th Century Aramaic New Testament, the word used for “resurrection” in the verse above is the word קימתא (q’yam’ta).
This word is derived from the verbal root קום
(Strong’s #6965) meaning “to stand up” or “to rise up.”
The word תקומה (tequmah) is found once in the Hebrew Bible.
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, (ASV, Matthew 22:31)
While the word “resurrection” does not appear in English translations of the Tanakh (Old Testament), it does appear in the New Testament as a translation for the Greek word αναστασις (anastasis, Strong’s #386).
This noun is derived from the word ανιστημι
(anistemi, Strong’s #450),
which means “to stand up” or “to rise up.”
This Greek word appears once in the Septuagint, a 2,000 year old Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.
And behold I establish [in the sense of something standing firm] my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, (LXE, Genesis 9:9)
And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. (ASV, Leviticus 26:37)
From all of this,
we can gather that the ancient understanding of the
resurrection of the dead,
is the
rising up of the dead,
or more literally, the
standing up
of the dead.
By the raising of Yeshua /Jesus from the dead we too are changed from death to life.
The resurrection assures us that the devil, sin, and death can have no real power over us, since they have no power over the Messiah, who bore them for us but triumphed.
For the follower of Jesus/Yeshua,
ein od milvado ( אֵין עוֹד מִלְבַדּוֹ ),
there is no real power apart from God.
This NEW life (chaim – one of two);
is the gift of God to us by His Grace…
So no one gets indigestion the conclusion is in part 2!
May His true Shalom/Peace
rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.

NOT SURE if you are part of His Family?
YOU CAN BE..
Say the following and mean it from your heart…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He came in the flesh and He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life.
Because your word is truth, I say that I am now forgiven and born again in my spirit and by faith I am washed clean with the Blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
