Sukkot in the exile…

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Pete Rambo

16 “Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.

Deuteronomy 16:16-17

The last several years, my wife and I have been blessed to be able to be in Jerusalem for Sukkot and Passover. This year has been one of disappointments and lessons. Flight cancellations in the Spring and closed borders for the Fall feasts leave us barred from celebrating in Jerusalem for the first time in several years. My heart hurts so badly.

Before we began making the trek with frequency, I did not understand the ravings of those who made the pilgrimage at least once per year. Now, I share in their loss. There is a reason God commands at least the males to come up to Jerusalem at the feasts!

that BROWN Messiah…

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Pete Rambo

God loves white and hates black. But, it doesn’t have anything to do with skin color.

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

It has everything to do with the heart! Righteousness v unrighteousness.

Regarding skin color, God does have an opinion: He LOVES variety! All shades and tones from lily white to black as midnight. He has no preference, as long as they are walking in righteousness.

Think about it.

Everything He created comes in variety: flowers, beetles, rocks, deer, mountains, brooks, fish, etc…

Then, there is Israel. God started the nation with four genetically diverse mothers (Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, Zilpah) then added a mixed multitude as they departed Egypt. As if that was enough diversity, He promised to sow the house of Israel into the ends of the earth, then regather them without losing a single grain! This is why,

The BLM Connection to Witchcraft

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Pete Rambo

Here is a ‘must see’ video on YouTube and Brighteon. BLM, according to their own testimony, conjure ancestral spirits for their events.

I have long suspected a spiritual element and the degree of anger and chaos perpetrated at their events point to underlying spiritual dark forces at play, however this video details what exactly is going on! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

What is the basis of your moral standard?

Posted on September 18, 2020 by Pete Rambo

If you ever find yourself thinking, ‘I have higher moral standards than Abraham and David’, then you have entered dangerous territory.

~ a friend

Everyone has a moral standard. Most of those standards are founded on nothing more than personal opinion or preferences. Even Messianic, Hebrew roots, and Christian morality is often based in something other than the Torah, God’s standard of righteousness.

But, will your standard be deemed ‘self righteous’ by the One who gave the Torah and established the only standard by which we will be judged?

Coming VERY soon!!

Posted on September 10, 2020 by Pete Rambo

Israel cannot be restored unless God’s Creation Order is restored and implemented. This is a bold statement, however the Torah only functions properly when exercised within the God given authority structure.

Divided into a Torah Cycle study, this book focuses on what God has to say regarding authority, headship, and family structure. Further, it makes many connections with the rest of Scripture and the whole picture of God’s Word. More that 430 pages with an abundance of appendices and extra material to chew on, sure to start some excellent discussion!

Details will follow!

For kol Israel and the glory of the Messiah!

Torah Portion Series: Ki Tavo (Deuteronomy 26:1-29:9)

Posted on September 4, 2020 by Pete Rambo

Would God really enact curses? Indeed, He is quite serious about His commands, including those concerning authority, headship, and family structure. This week’s study is fairly short, but much to ponder in our response to His grave warning.

Why defend patriarchy?

Posted on August 20, 2020 by Pete Rambo

A couple of good posts came up in my Instagram feed today. Among others, I follow several posters and hashtags related to Biblical roles, family structure, masculinity, femininity, and patriarchy. Truly, that is the ‘new rebel.’

The post at left was great bubblegum for the brain, but the next one, on the right, is what really got me going…

“Because I said so!” ~God

Truly, humanity has a propensity for trying to negotiate with the Almighty. We have a tendency to try to make God in our image, then tell Him how we will worship, serve, etc… on our terms, how we like it.

The truth is, He sets the rules and, whether we like it or not, whether we agree or not, His Word still stands.

His Word is decidedly patriarchal. Nothing in Scripture ever overturns that. It simply doesn’t matter how much Christendom, feminism, complimentarians, matriarchs, etc, kick against the goads, God is still patriarchal! I don’t have to defend it.

And, this same attitude is true of everything else He has said regarding Sabbath, feasts, food, tzitziot, and marriage. If His Word says it, then you wrestle not with me, but with the Almighty Himself.

Jacob would advise that wrestling with Him is fine (Gen. 32:25), but know that your walk will be changed, or you will die. Take your pick.

Truth is truth. I need not defend it, but I will expose it and bid you draw near.

Explore this site and 113restoration.com for a boatload of truth that may shake the earth under your feet, but what is left will be solid rock!

Shalom!

Vaccines, GMO food, and the destruction of humanity…

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Pete Rambo

A few days ago, Rob Skiba uploaded this very interesting video regarding his ongoing research into nephilim. I do not follow that closely because of lack of time and focus elsewhere, but something drew me to watch this particular video and it has a few HUGE pieces of information worthy of your time.

I came away with two very important thoughts: 1) What is actually being put in the upcoming ‘mandatory’ vaccines that may alter DNA? and 2) Something I read elsewhere recently connected closely to the resources Skiba dug up on GMO food being used as a medium for genetic modification and gene splice insertion…

We live in very dangerous times as science is tinkering with the human genome for numerous nefarious reasons. It is very easy to see not only the return of the nephilim but also a complete, or nearly complete obliteration of humanity. Noah, having been ‘perfect in all his generations,’ was likely as survivor of a similar destruction of humanity about 4000 years ago. Nothing new under the sun!

Torah Portion: Re’eh (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17)

Posted on August 14, 2020 by Pete Rambo

Do men really receive a greater judgment in some areas than women? What should men be doing in this age? And, how about women? Does Isaiah 2-4 support what we see in the Torah?

Israel will not be restored without the return of the patriarchy! See evidences of this in this this week’s portion, on our Torah Portion Series page.

Torah Portion: Ekev (Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25)

Posted on August 7, 2020 by Pete Rambo

BECAUSE!!

This week’s portion has so much to say about how a marriage is to reflect God and His people. In fact, it shows us the proper lens to look through for all of Scripture with relationship to God and His people, as well as the proper relationship between a man and his woman.
