The Whole Armor of יְהוָֺה Yehovah© by Marie Lovell Schryver



10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in Yehovah, and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of Yehovah that you may be able to stand against the wiles of ha’satan. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of Yehovah that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Ruach HaKodesh, which is the Word of Yehovah: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Ruach HaKodesh, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:10-18

Father, Yehovah, as we go out into the world, may You clothe us with the armor that You have fashioned for each of us individually – one fashioned by You to bring us protection as well as glory to You – not like Sha’ul’s armor on David, but an armor that only we can wear and use with precision.

When I have done all that You have commanded, I stand before You Father and I put on the belt of truth. Yashua said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through Me.” As we receive Your truth – the Living Word, He – the Truth - will set us free! [John 14:6; 8:32] Stand – G2476 – hisTAYme – establish, covenant

I put on the breastplate of righteousness. Your Word says that our righteousness is as filthy rags but that when we have repented and are obedient, we have Your Name and we become the righteousness of Yehovah through Messiah. [Isaiah 64:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21]

I shod* my feet [*to bind under, undergird] with Your Gospel of Shalom – The ‘gospel’ or ‘good news’ that we can have shalom amid tribulation when we are obedient to You. We spread that gospel by taking You with us wherever Your path leads us. As Your Word says, ‘How lovely on the mountains are the feet them who bring ‘good news!’ and “You enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.” [Isaiah 57:7; Psalm 18:36]

I take up the shield of faith to be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Without faith, it is impossible to please Yehovah but with faith, mountains can be moved! [Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 17:20]

I put on the helmet of salvation. Yashua took a crown of thorns so I could have a helmet – a crown marked “Kodesh Lᵊ’ Yehovah” or “Set Apart unto Yehovah”! He allowed His deity to be mocked so that I could take every thought captive through obeying Messiah and be saved! [2 Corinthians 10:5]

I take up the Sword of the Ruach HaKodesh, which is the Word of Yehovah. It is quicker and sharper than any two-edged sword, able to discern between the soulish realm and the spirit. With one side we circumcise our heart and with the other we cut down the enemy! [Hebrews 4:12; Deuteronomy 30:6; Romans 2:29 {the word is Hebrew, not Jew}; Revelation 1:16 & 19:15]

I aspire to pray always as the Ruach HaKodesh leads because the fervent prayers of His righteous people, praying according to His will, have the greatest effect. [James 5:16] May Your glory, oh Yehovah, be my rear guard as I pour out supplications before You! [Isaiah 58:8b]

As a true believer in Yehovah, I must be a watchman on Your walls for fellow believers to warn them of the enemy’s activities and to guide them back to Your Torah! [Isaiah 62:6-7]

Father Yehovah, thank You that You lead me beside still waters and You restore my soul; You put a watch at my mouth and a guard at the doors of my lips. You call Your instructions to my remembrance so that I may pass every test that comes my way. You afford to me all the protection of Psalm 91! May I wear the armor you have fashioned for me and may I finish well. [Psalm 23:2b-3; c 91; 143:3; John 14:26]

…for Your glory and renown…

B’Shem Yashua,

Ahmein ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Belt of Truth – It is a loin cloth worn under the white robe closest to the body and represents where the “seed of truth” is propagated.
Breastplate of Righteousness – Ephod – It is the heart of the Father revealed (12 tribes) and yet His judgment (urim and thummin, used for decision making/judging) concealed.
Shod feet – no shoes? The “gospel of peace” or “good news of shalom”. Yehovah told Moshe, “Take off your shoes from off your feet for the place you are standing is holy (set-apart) ground.” Sh’mot (Exodus) 3:5 Removing your shoe is a covenant act meaning you know who is in charge. This is not something one wears but how one carries themselves.
Shield of Faith – Faith comes by hearing (sh’ma - שָׁמַע – means to hear and obey in a single word) the Word of Yehovah. אֱמוּנָה - eh-moo-NAH = faith. The root words broken down mean ‘behold the mother of life’. Where the word “ahmein” comes from.
Helmet of Salvation – If it was properly translated it would be ‘crown of Yashua’ because Yashua means ‘Yehovah is salvation’. The crown of the high priest said, “Set Apart for Yehovah” קָדוֹשׁ ליְהֹוָה Kadosh L’ Yehovah.
The Sword of the Spirit – According to Revelation, is the Word of Yehovah; it is the “sword” coming out of Yashua’s mouth. Hebrews 4:12 describes it and gives its function while Revelation says that Yashua uses it to bring judgment by SPEAKING Yehovah’s instructions of righteousness! 
Praying (interceding) and Watching (guarding; a watchman – they watched to make sure that Father’s instructions were kept so that the people would be safe) are also elements of the “armor”.

Yashua is a “priest on the order of Melechizadek” because He was not in the tribe of Levi, but Judah, which predates the Levitical priesthood. We are the “kingdom of priests” that are commissioned to teach His Word and bring light to the world! HalleluYah! – EMET … TRUTH! [Hebrews 7:17; Exodus 19:6; Revelation 1:6]

Atonement: Why Yashua is NOT the Scapegoat as Described in Leviticus 16

Image
There is a vast difference between the two goats for which lots were cast at Yom Kippur. Leviticus 16 says that one was marked קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה Kodesh L'Yehovah - Holy/Set-apart to יְהוָֺה [Exodus 28:36] and the other “for Azazel.” The one that is Set-apart to יְהוָֺה is sacrificed and its blood placed on the Mercyseat, כַּפֹּרֶת kapporet, the word from which kippur is derived. The one for Azazel, inaccurately translated as ‘scapegoat’ in English, was the one that the sins of the entire nation of Israel were confessed onto and then sent out of the camp.    At the covenant of the pieces in Genesis 15:11 when the carrion birds came to try to take Abram’s sacrifices, the Book of Abraham in the Apocrypha gives some insight:      And it came to pass when I saw the bird speaking, I said this to the angel: "What is this, my Lord?" And He said, "This is disgrace – this is Azazel!" And He said to him, "Shame on you, Azazel! For Abraham's portion is in heaven, and ...

How the Day of Trumpets* Became Rosh Hashanah by Marie L. Schryver

Image
  On the 1st day of the Seventh Month (Tishrei) the Torah commands us to observe the holy day of *Yom Teruah which means “Day of Shouting” (Leviticus 23:23-25; Numbers 29:1-6). Yom Teruah is a day of rest on which work is forbidden. One of the unique things about Yom Teruah is that the Torah does not say what the purpose of this holy day is. The Torah gives at least one reason for all the other holy days and two reasons for some. The Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, but it is also a celebration of the beginning of the barley harvest (Exodus 23:15; Leviticus 23:4–14). The Feast of Shavuot (Weeks) is a celebration of the wheat harvest (Exodus 23:16; 34:22). Yom Ha-Kippurim (aka Yom Kippur) is a national day of atonement as described in great detail in Leviticus 16. Finally, the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) commemorates the wandering of the Israelites in the desert and is also a celebration of the in-gathering of agricultural produce (Exodus 23:16). I...

The Descriptive Names of Yehovah by Marie L Schryver

Image
  בְּ רֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים , אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ In the beginning ELOHIM created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 H430 EL - Elohim אֱלֹהִים EhloHEEM is plural even though YEHOVAH IS ONE and He has ONE NAME, יְהוָֺה. However, He has many descriptions. The writers of the TORAH use the plural of EL to show emphasis when speaking of the Creator. Note: The first word in the Torah begins with a larger letter beit בּ to show importance.   אֵלֶּה תוֹלְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ, בְּהִבָּרְאָם:   בְּיוֹם, עֲשׂוֹת יְהוָֺה אֱלֹהִים --אֶרֶץ וְשָׁמָיִם These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YEHOVAH ELOHIM made earth and heaven. Genesis 2:4 H3068 Yehovah is translated as LORD in all upper-case letters. It literally means ‘I ALWAYS WAS, I AM, I ALWAYS WILL BE.’ This is the first mention of His true Name, יְהוָֺה YEHOVAH (Yeh ho VAH), which is confirmed to Moshe in Exodus 3:14-15. I...
