1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moses' Final Blessing on Israel. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of ELOHIM blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 He said,  “YHWH came from Sinai,  And rose from Seir to them.  He shone forth from Mount Paran.  He came from the ten thousands of holy ones.  At his right hand was a fiery set of Commandments for them.
3 Yes, he loves the people.  All his holy ones are in your hand.  They sat down at your feet;  each receives your words.
4 Moses commanded us a Torah (teaching and instruction),  An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 He was king in Jeshurun,  When the heads of the people were gathered,  All the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Let Reuben live, and not die;  Nor let his men be few.”
7 This is for Judah. He said,  “Hear, YHWH, the voice of Judah.  Bring him in to his people.  With his hands he contended for himself.  You shall be a help against his adversaries.”
8 Of Levi he said,  “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one,  whom you proved at Massah,  with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;
9 who said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him;’  Neither did he acknowledge his brothers,  Nor did he know his own children:  For they have observed your word,  and keep your covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances,  and Israel your Torah (teaching and instruction).  They shall put incense before you,  and whole burnt offering on your altar.
11 YHWH, bless his substance.  Accept the work of his hands.  Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him,  of those who hate him, that they not rise again.”
12 Of Benjamin he said,  “The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety by him.  He covers him all the day long.  He dwells between his shoulders.”
13 Of Joseph he said,  “His land is blessed by YHWH,  for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew,  for the deep that couches beneath,
14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,  for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
15 for the chief things of the ancient mountains,  for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 for the precious things of the earth and its fullness,  the good will of him who lived in the bush.  Let this come on the head of Joseph,  on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
17 The firstborn of his herd, majesty is his.  His horns are the horns of the wild ox.  With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the ends of the earth:  They are the ten thousands of Ephraim.  They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Of Zebulun he said,  “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out;  and Issachar, in your tents.
19 They shall call the peoples to the mountain.  There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness,  for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas,  the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20 Of Gad he said,  “He who enlarges Gad is blessed.  He dwells as a lioness,  and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
21 He provided the first part for himself,  for there was the Torah-giver’s portion reserved.  He came with the heads of the people.  He executed the righteousness of YHWH,  His ordinances with Israel.”
22 Of Dan he said,  “Dan is a lion’s cub  that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 Of Naphtali he said,  “Naphtali, satisfied with favor,  full of the blessing of YHWH,  Possess the west and the south.”
24 Of Asher he said,  “Asher is blessed with children.  Let him be acceptable to his brothers.  Let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Your bars shall be iron and brass.  As your days, so your strength will be.
26 “There is none like EL, Jeshurun,  who rides on the heavens for your help,  In his excellency on the skies.
27 The eternal ELOHIM is your dwelling place.  Underneath are the everlasting arms.  He thrust out the enemy from before you,  and said, ‘Destroy!’
28 Israel dwells in safety;  the fountain of Jacob alone,  In a land of grain and new wine.  Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
29 You are happy, Israel.  Who is like you, a people saved by YHWH,  the shield of your help,  the sword of your excellency!  Your enemies shall submit themselves to you.  You shall tread on their high places.”

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moses Dies on Mount Nebo. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. YHWH showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the hinder sea,
3 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.
4 YHWH said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”
5 So Moses the servant of YHWH died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of YHWH!
6 He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
9 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel listened to him, and did as YHWH commanded Moses.
10 There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom YHWH knew face to face,
11 in all the signs and the wonders, which YHWH sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses worked in the sight of all Israel.

 

 

 

Numbers 29:35-40. (JPS=Numbers 29:35-39,30:1).

35 “‘On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work;
36 but you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH: one bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;
37 their meal offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:
38 and one male goat for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it.
39 “‘You shall offer these to YHWH in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.’”
40 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that YHWH commanded Moses.

 

Joshua 1:1-9.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. ELOHIM's Commission to Joshua. .   Joshua! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.           

Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of YHWH, that YHWH spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,
2 “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
4 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
6 “Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the Torah (teaching and instruction), which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8 This scroll of the Torah shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed: for YHWH your ELOHIM is with you wherever you go.”

 

 

Revelation 19.,20.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Heaven Exults over Babylon. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our ELOHIM:
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
3 A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.”
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped ELOHIM who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5 A voice came forth from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our ELOHIM, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For ADONAI our ELOHIM, the Almighty, reigns!
7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.”
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy ones.
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of ELOHIM!”
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of YESHUA! Worship ELOHIM, for the testimony of YESHUA is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Messiah on a White Horse. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of ELOHIM!”
14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of ELOHIM, the Almighty.
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND MASTER OF MASTERS!”


17
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Beast and His Armies Defeated. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of ELOHIM,
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great.”
19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Satan Bound 1000 Years. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.


4
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Holy Persons Reign with Messiah 1000 Years. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of YESHUA, and for the word of ELOHIM, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.
5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of ELOHIM and of Messiah, and will reign with him one thousand years.


7
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Satanic Rebellion Crushed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison,
8 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from ELOHIM, and devoured them.
10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.


11
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Great White Throne Judgment. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Sheol gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
14 Death and Sheol were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

 

Revelation 21.,22.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. All Things Made New. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from ELOHIM, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, ELOHIM’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and ELOHIM himself will be with them as their ELOHIM!
4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of ELOHIM are faithful and true.”
6 He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alef and the Tav, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his ELOHIM, and he will be my son.
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”


9
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The New Jerusalem. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s bride.”
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from ELOHIM,
11 having the glory of ELOHIM! Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Emissaries of the Lamb.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.


22
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Glory of the New Jerusalem. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I saw no temple in it, for ADONAI ELOHIM, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.
23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of ELOHIM illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The River of Life. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of ELOHIM and of the Lamb,
2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of ELOHIM and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for ADONAI ELOHIM will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.


6
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Time Is Near. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. ADONAI ELOHIM of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
7 “Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
9 He said to me, “See you don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship ELOHIM!”
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”


12
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. YESHUA Testifies to the Assemblies. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
13 I am the Alef and the Tav, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 I, YESHUA, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.


18
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. A Warning. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may ELOHIM add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may ELOHIM take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.


20
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. I Am Coming Quickly. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, ADONAI YESHUA!
21 The grace of ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah be with all the holy ones. Amen.
