Listen to this song I Open Up My Heart To YAHUAH NEW AUDIO REMIX
Dear Chaciyd (Saints),
There was a time at the beginning
that the whole earth was of one language
and of one speech. Literally “one lip
and one word” meaning that everybody spoke in the same way, both
as to pronunciation and vocabulary. But something happened to
make YAHUAH change that. What happened? The building of an
city and a tower whose
top may reach unto the
shamayim
(heaven) and a great name for
themselves, lest they be scatter upon the face
of the whole earth
BERESHITH
(Genesis) 11: 1-4. The city and tower were primarily for
defensive security and political domination. It is possible
also that the tower had a religious and astrological
significance. The Hebrew is literally “whose top the
shamayim (heavens)” and this may mean that on it were
depicted the signs of the Zodiac and other drawings of the
shamayim. In view, however, of the use of this phrase.
"The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are
great and walled up to shamayin (heaven)..."
DEBARIM (Deuteronomy) 1:28, and also bearing in mind that
the ancient Babylonian boasts about the height of their temples,
this expression may not necessarily contain any astrological
reference.
Man’s proposed
scheme to promote himself to be the center of power and
authority in the ‘erets appears to have been regarded by
YAHUAH
as undesirable. It may be that it was in its deepest
motives an act of human self-sufficiency and rebellion against
YAHUAH.
BERESHITH (Genesis) 11:5-9
Vs 5 And YAHUAH came down to see the city and the tower, which
the children of man had builded. It is highly significant that “Babel”
(Babylon) in the biblical stories stands forth right, all the way
through to the book of Revelations for this idea of
materialistic and humanistic uniting in an alliance in
opposition to YAHUAH.
Vs 6 And YAHUAH said,
Behold, the people [is]
echad (one), and
they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing
will be restrained, [made
inaccessible, to be withheld] from them, which they have
zamam to do.
Vs 7
Come now, let us go down, and there
balal
(confuse) their language,
that they may not
shama
(understand) one another's speech. The reason for YAHUAH’S destruction of these
human plans were possibly first to deal effectively with the
evil motive of opposition, and secondarily to accomplish His
design that men should be fruitful and multiply
and replenish the whole earth and subdue it. Note
that YAHUAH did not destroy the tower; He confounded, confused
the language and scattered the people and they left off to build
the city.
BERSHITH (Genesis) 11:8.
Vs 9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel
{baw-bel} Babylon; because YAHUAH
did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did YAHUAH
scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
We can see from the
kathab
(Scripture)
being of one language and of one speech where everyone speaks in
the same way, both as the pronunciation and vocabulary, is a
profane and defile thing if the
leb {labe}
[inner man, mind, will, understanding, soul, knowledge,
thinking, reflection, memory, resolution, determination,
conscience, character and heart] of men are not of YAHUAH. Having
the leb (heart) of YAHUAH is far more important and profitable
for us than our pronunciation and vocabulary. Look at the kathab
(Scripture) in the
cepher (book) of BERESHITH (Genesis) 6:5-7
And YAHUAH saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his leb
(heart) was only evil continually.
Vs 6
And it repented YAHUAH that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved
Him at His leb (heart).
Vs 7
And YAHUAH said, I will
machah
(destroy) man whom I have created from the face of the earth;
both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of
the air; for it nacham (repenteth) Me that I have made
them.
We live in a wicked and evil generation among men whom the
fulfillment of the lust of their fleshly desires, thoughts, and
imagination is more important to them than the fulfillment of
the machashabah
(plan and purpose) of YAHUAH.
The language and speech of man is corrupted because man’s
leb (heart) is corrupt. YAHUSHA HA
MashaYAH said in
MATTITHYAHU (Matthew)12:34-37 "O generation of
vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of
the abundance of the leb (heart) the
peh (mouth) speaketh.
vs 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the leb (heart)
bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil
treasure bringeth forth evil things. vs 36 But I say unto you,
That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of judgment. vs 37 For by thy words
thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned." Notice YAHUSHA said every idle [slack,
relax, drop, disheartened, sink, barren, leisure, lazy] word
that men shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in the
day of judgment. This description sounds like it is talking more
about the character of man rather than the words man use. Why?
Because the character of man is also defined by the words that
man speaks,
you can’t
hide it.
I will be the first to acknowledge that we live in a pagan
society that is built upon pagan principles. Everything about us
is influenced by paganism from the words we speak to the way we
worship have been greatly influenced and effected by pagan
beliefs and/or practices. We didn’t know any better because
we did not know YAHUAH. But now
HALAL YAHUAH (Praise YAHUAH)! We
know YAHUAH and are known of YAHUAH. For as many as are
led by the Ruwach {roo’-akh} [Spirit] of YAHUAH,
they are the ben [sons/children] of YAHUAH. ROAMNS 8:14. As we
continue to be led by the Ruwach of YAHUAH, little by little,
one by one the
Nacham [Comforter] which is the
Qadash Ruwach
shall help us to identify that which is pagan and He shall teach
us all things, and bring all things to our remembrance
whatsoever YAHUSHA have said unto us YAHANAN (John)14:26.
I am not as concern about pronouncing and speaking objective
pronouns and their corresponding subjective pronouns such as the
words “I and me,” “we and us,” “he and him,” “she and her,” “who
and whom,” and “they and them”, as I am about pronouncing and
speaking words and titles that we know beyond a shadow of a
doubt are the names of pagan gods, goddesses, lords, and elohims
such as the names of the days of the week, the names of the
months of the years and the names of the years , which YAHAUH
said make no mention of the names of elohiym (gods) [the word
“other” was added to make it look like YAHUAH is equal to an el
of the elohim] neither let it be heard out of their mouth
SHEMOTH (Exodus) 23:13. In this do we need to be circumspect
shamar because YAHUAH has taught us and have said to us these
are the names of elohim, make no mention of their name, neither
let it be heard out of our mouths. We shall continue to use the
pronunciation of the objective and (their corresponding)
subjective pronouns mentioned above. So far in my research, I
have not found these words to be offensive to YAHUAH nor are we
breaking any of His commandments by using them. Satan would love
for us to major in the minor things so that we may forget the
things which are Emmiet (true) and Aman (faithful). SHEMOTH
(Exodus) 20:3 Thou shalt have no gods before me [not no “other”
gods as if YAHUAH is equal to the fallen ones (the elohim).
Literally it should read “You have no elohim against My face.”].
TSPHANYAHU (Zephaniah) 3:9
For then will YAHUAH turn to the
people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of
YAHUAH, to serve YAHUAH with one consent. Literally it means
YAHUAH shall turn unto the people a clean lip, so that they all
call on the name of YAHUAH, to serve YAHUAH with one shoulder. I
don’t know what language it is going to be but I do know this,
it shall be from a clean lip. HALLAL YAHUAH (Praise YAHUAH)!
HOSHAYAH (Hosea) 2: 16-17 And it shall be at that day, saith
YAHUAH, [that] thou shalt call Me
Iysh (Husband); and shalt call
Me no more Ba’al (Lord). vs 17 For I will take away the names of Ba’al (Lord) out of her (YAHUAH’S people) mouth, and they (baal,
adonai, my lord, lord, elohim [gods, idols, devils] shall no
more be remembered by their name. HALAL YAHUAH (Praise
YAHUAH)!!! I would like to believe that as YAHUAH give us a
clean lip it will bring to pass the saying, “there is no speech
nor language where our voice is not heard” TEHILLIM (Psalms)
19:3. HALAL YAHUAH (Praise YAHUAH)!!! In TEHILLIM (Psalms)
81:8-10 YAHUAH also admonish us to vs. 8 Hear O my people and I
will testify unto thee: O
Yashar'YAH, if thou wilt shama [hear,
listen, obey, hearken] unto Me; vs 9
There shall no strange god
(“no el at all”) be in you; neither shalt you
shachah (worship)
any strange god (“no el at all”).
vs 10 I [am] YAHUAH thy
YAHUAH, which brought thee out of the land of
Mitsrayim (Egypt):
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But can we shama to the
voice of YAHUAH? Can we hear this word?
YAHUAH will not only
take away the names of the baal (lords) out of our mouth, but
YAHUAH will fill it with a pure language that we may all call
upon the name of YAHUAH with a clean lip and to serve YAHUAH
with one shoulder.
Please hear me when I say to you it is not about the language
that we speak rather it be Hebrew, Greek, English, or French
that gives us favor with YAHUAH but a clean lip, it is all about
the leb (heart). For out of the abundance of the leb (heart) the
peh (mouth) speaketh. I study the Hebraic language because I
desire to understand the scriptures, but for me to think that I
am going to win a brownie point with YAHUAH for this is
ludicrous. In the cepher (book) of YCHEZKYAH (Ezekiel) chapter
three, YAHUAH prepared YCHEZKYAH to go speak unto the house of
Yashar'YAH. vs 4 And YAHUAH said unto me Son of man, go, get thee
unto the house of Yashar'YAH, and speak with my dabar (words) unto
them. Now look very carefully to verse 5 and 6. vs 5 For thou
[art] not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard
language, [but] to the house of Yashar'YAH; vs 6 Not to many
people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words
you do not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they
would have shama [listened, heard, obeyed, hearkened] unto you.
Now look very carefully to verse 7. vs 7 But the house of
Yashar'YAH will not shama [listen, hear, obey, hearken] unto you;
for they will not shama [listen, hear, obey, hearken] unto Me:
for all the house of Yashar'YAH [are] impudent and hardhearted.
Here we see a people that speak perfect Hebrew and YAHUAH said
of them they will not hear Me. But on the other hand, there are
a people of a strange speech and of a hard language whose words
you do not understand, had I sent you to them,
they would have
hearkened unto you [Pause and think on this].
As much as you would like to believe that the pure language
is what is called the Hebrew language, the Scripture does not
declare this. But one thing the Scripture does declare is that
whatever the language is it will be of a clean lip. YAHUSHA had
the leb of YAHUAH, and we too must have YAHUAH’S leb. Then we
will all be a people of one lip and one word. But remember it is
all about having the leb (heart) of YAHUAH.
