*Time has been set back one year to adjust for House of Yudah's membership into the UN in 1949 CE. Originally I had the time set at 1948 CE when they became a nation, but I see now that they did not put themselves under the Babylonian king’s thumb until 1949 CE. In Yirmiyah 25:12 and Daniy'Yah 9:2, YaHVeH has established a 70 year time line for the king of Babylon to be destroyed.

1 Corinthians: 13:12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Scripture is taken from KJV and Revised Standard and edited to remove blasphemous names (Rev. 17:3), words and titles and to give a more Iybriy/Hebrew rooted understanding; edited also because the "Mother of Harlots" has inserted these names to cover up the names of YaHVeH/יהוה and HIS Ben Yahvshua/יהושׁוּע, and to counterfeit a Babylonian Greco-Roman "god", "lord" "Jesus" "Christ"…etc. and promote its demonic idolatrous pagan customs and "holidays" by replacing YaHVeH's Sabbaths (Dan. 7:25).

Do you think the children of Yisrael left Egypt/Mitsrayim (Sin) by their own might? Do we as believers think we can overcome sin (Egypt) by our own power? This question came into my mind some time ago because of my own struggles with personal sin (Hebrews/Iybriyiym 12:1; I Yahn/Yohn 1:8-9). I don’t believe I’m alone in this fight (Ephesians 6:12).

What would it take before the children of Yisrael could leave (overcome) Egypt (Sin/Galatians 3:24)? The first thing YaHVeH of Host did was HE had to nourish up a deliverer (Shemoth/Exodus 1:17; 2; 3; Dabariym/Deuteronomy 18:15, 18; Luke/Ur 1:26 – 56; 2:1 – 40). The next thing the ALMIGHTY our Elohiym did was HE had to place HIS power and authority in this man (Shemoth 3:1 – 19; Luke 2:52; 3:21-22). The third thing is, HE would now show HIS power and authority through this man by great and wonderful miracles (Shemoth 3:20; Yahvchanan/Yahn 2:1 – 11; 11:47).

So far everything I have shown you has been done by YaHVeH’s great power. But there is something I believe our Elohiym refuses and chooses not to do; HE will not make us believe (Shemoth 4:1 – 9; Yahn 12:37). We have to believe that YaHVeH is going save us (Romans 10:17; Iybriyiym 11:6). We have to understand that we are helpless (Dabariym 29:4) and do not have the power within ourselves to flee Egypt (Sin). Our deliverance from sin (Egypt/Babylon/this world/this age) is not instantaneous (Shemoth 5:21 – 23). We have to want to leave Egypt/Sin (Shemoth 14:11; Yahn 3:18 – 21; Revelation 18:4). If we have the desire to leave Egypt/Sin YaHVeH by HIS Outstretched Arm (Yesha'Yah/Isaiah 53:1) can and will free us from the bondage of Egypt (Romans 6).

We have the yearning to leave Egypt; YaHVeH draws us to HIS Ben Yahvshua (Yahn 6:44), now we have to endure the hot dry desert (1 Yahn 2:16), Pharaoh/Satan and his army/demons pursuing us (Shemoth 14). This now is our trial, to have the same belief and desire at the middle and end of our journey as we had at the beginning (Matthew/Mattith’Yah 10:22; 24:13). We must stay about our Rabbi's business not getting caught up with the cares of this world (Mattith`Yah 24:42 – 51; Mark/Yahvchanan-Makabi 4:19).

The problem with the modern day house of Yudah/“Jewish State” (1 Melekiym/1 Kings 11), those who now occupy parts of the Promised Land is that they are looking to their own strength (Yirmi'Yah/Jeremiah. 17:5) to deliver them and to possess the land.  They still don’t believe in YaHVeH’s Right Hand (Yahvshua the Mashiyach). They don’t understand that their ancestors did not leave Egypt by their own strength so that they could enter into the Promised Land (Shemoth 23:20).

We have to understand it is not by our strength but by YaHVeH’s Ruach (Zechar`Yah/Zechariah 4:6; Yahn chapter 14 – 16; Acts 2) that HE enables us to overcome and endure to the end. YaHVeH the EL of obedient Yisrael is sustaining us in the desert by giving us that bread from Shamayim (Shemoth 16:15; Yahn 6). HE is opening up the Rock (B`midbar/Numbers 20; 1 Cor. 10:4) to give us water through HIS Ben Yahvshua the Mashiyach (Daniy`Yah/Daniel 2:45; Mattith`Yah 21:44).

Romans: 10:17: So then belief comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of YaHVeH.
