The following text is a summation of the video dialogue.
Parasha Emor 5784 (2024) continues Genesis 35 Alliance dialogue between the Two houses. It explains the priesthood’s important role to teach the people the difference between the set-apart and the prophane, according to the written Torah of Moshe.
We show how Levi has violated their role as Yahweh’s priesthood by teaching Talmudic Replacement Theology, which contradicts Yahweh’s written Torah and violates Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:22. We will also discuss orthodox Judah’s Noahide laws, the prophecies of Ezekiel 44-45, and the role of our perfect priest Yeshua HaMashiach.
Join us for Parasha Emor as we discuss these topics, and more, and as we also answer important questions from some of our viewers.
Question of the week #1
Nicolaitans vs biblical structure
Q: “Isn’t elders and decons a system of the Nicolatins and Gentile pyramid system of control [??]… YAHUSHA revuked the Sons of thunders mother for asking if they could sit a the side of Him in the Kingdom to come?”
– NI viewer
In this video, we take a look at the Strong’s Concordance definition of Nicolaitans, and we will see why Yeshua was not rebuking biblical leadership, and why biblical leadership is both necessary for building the Kingdom, and how the Brit Chadasha (New Testament) speaks of the necessity to build the Kingdom upon this biblical structure.
Strong’s G3531
Νικολαΐ́της Nikolaitēs
nik-ol-ah-ee’-tace
From G3532; a Nicolaite, that is, adherent of Nicolaus: – Nicolaitane.
Total KJV occurrences: 2Strong’s G3532
Νικόλαος Nikolaos
nik-ol’-ah-os
From G3534 and G2004; victorious over the people
[or “victory over the laity”];
Nicolaus, a heretic: – Nicolaus.
Total KJV occurrences: 1The Aramaic spelling of Nicolaitan (ניכולה) could be rendered “let us eat.” Alternatively, the phrase בלא אמ or בלה אמ, taken from Balaam and meaning “he who consumes the people,” has been equated with the literal rendering of Nicolaitan (νικᾷ, nika; + λαός, laos): “he overcomes the people” (Beale, Revelation, 251). (Logos)
Do we believe our Bibles? (NT on biblical structure.)
We explain how the Brit Chadasha (or the New Testament) promotes and teaches organization and the foundation of Apostles and Prophets (biblical structure with elders, deacons, and at least 6 levels of biblical leadership). We explain how most ministries either lack or outwardly teach against the biblical structure detailed in both the Tanach (OT) and the Brit Chadasha (NT).
Shemote (Exodus) 18:25
25 And Moshe chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.Marqaus (Mark) 6:39-40
39 Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.Ma’asei (Acts) 6:3-4
3 “Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Set-apart Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”Titus 1:5
5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—TimaTheus (1 Timothy) 3:1
1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of an elder (zakan, bishop, overseer) he desires a good work.
Yeshua rebuking the Sons of Thunder
We further answer the viewer’s question about Yeshua rebuking the the Sons of Thunder, and how this applies to the Babylonian elite pyramid. And how this Babylonian elite system of top to bottom is opposite of Elohim’s system of servant leadership.
Mattityahu (Matthew) 20:20-23
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”22 But Yeshua answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
Qorintim Aleph (1 Cor.) 14:40
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Order necessary for stick of Ephraim
We further explain why biblical organization and leadership is necessary for the reunification of Ephraim described in Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16, in order to form the Stick of Jospeph, and eventually reunite with the house of Judah.
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16
16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’Strong’s Concordance H6086
עֵץ ‛êts ates
From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): – + carpenter, gallows, helve, + pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.
Total KJV occurrences: 329
How can we make a “firmness” of Joseph (in the hand of Ephraim) if there is no order, and no organization?
- Acts 15: foreswear & enter in.
- Ephesians 2:19-22 one doctrine.
- Ephesians 4:11-16 build together.
- Titus, 1 Tim. 3 appointed leaders.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 30:21
21 “Their nobles shall be from among them, And their governor shall come from their midst; Then I will cause him to draw near, And he shall approach Me; For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says Yahweh.
Who is the ‘prince’ spoken of in Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44?
Further, we explain who the ‘prince’ (or the nasi, president) of Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44 is referring to. (We will come back to this topic in this week’s Haftarah portion.)
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:3
3 As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way.”Strong’s Concordance H5387
נָשִׂא נָשִׂיא
nâśı̂y’ nâśi’ naw-see’, naw-see’
From H5375; properly an exalted one, that is, a king or sheik; also a rising mist: – captain, chief, cloud, governor, prince, ruler, vapour.
Total KJV occurrences: 134
Question of the week #2
Q: “The Vatican worships lucifer. They had a high mass singing in latin worshiping Lucifer. So why do we as a people have anything to do with the catholic (universal) church?”
– NI viewer
We will take a look at what the Brit Chadasha says on this topic, and what it means to follow Yeshua HaMashiach and to imitate Him, and to do His Kingdom works as His faithful disciples.
Qorintim Aleph (1 Cor.) 11:1
1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Mashiach.
Judah imitates their rabbis. Esav adores Yeshua, but does not imitate Him! Joseph must imitate Yeshua!
Brit Chadasha (NT) on preaching to the lost
Luqa (Luke) 11:37
37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 52:7
7 How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Tzion, “Your Elohim reigns!”Romim (Romans) 10:14
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?Romim (Romans) 11:13-14
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am a shaliach to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
Who is justified in the eyes of Elohim?
Luqa (Luke) 18:10-14
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘Elohim, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector…”12 “I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
13 “And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘Elohim, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14 “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
That the whole world may believe
Yochanan (John) 7:17
17 “If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from Elohim, or whether I speak on My own authority.”Yochanan (John) 7:35
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?”Yochanan (John) 17:20-21
20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
21 “that they ALL may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.”Ma’asei (Acts) 1:8
8 But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
That ALL should come to repentance
Ma’asei (Acts) 17:22-23
22 Then Shaul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious…”
23 “…for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD [ELOHIM]. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you…”Romim (Romans) 10:14
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?Kepha Bet (2 Peter) 3:9
9 Yahweh is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Torah portion: Vayiqra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23
We will discuss the duties of the Levitical priesthood to perfom the commanded rituals, the maintanence and security responsibilities, to teach Yahweh’s people the difference between the set-apart and the prophane, and to render righteious judgment in diputes. (e.g., Yehezqel 44.)
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:23
23 “And they shall teach My people the difference between the qodesh (set-apart) and the chol (profane), and cause them to discern between the tamei (unclean) and the tahor (clean).Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:24
24 “In controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings, and they shall set My Sabbaths apart.”Vayiqra (Leviticus) 22:31-32
31 “Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am Yahweh.”
32 You shall not profane My set-apart name, but I will be set-apart among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you…”
For example, to implement Yahweh’s true feasts. (For more information on Yahweh’s Torah Calendar, please see NI’s study The Torah Calendar.)
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:1-2
1 And Yahweh spoke to Moshe, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be set-apart rehearsals, these are My feasts.”
“The same Torah!”
We discuss the Torah commandment to have ONE TORAH for the stranger AND for the native born of Israel, found in Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:22. We will that when Yahweh states “I am Yahweh your Elohim.”, that means He is very serious about this!
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:22
22 You shall have the same Torah for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am Yahweh your Elohim.’ “
And we will highlight specific Talmudic tractates (Sandhedrin tractates 58b-59a) to show how Talmudic Replacement Theory and Noahidism contradicts Yahweh’s commandment for only one Torah for the native born and the gentile dwelling with Israel (Vayiqra/Leviticus 24:22).
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:22
22 You shall have the same Torah for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am Yahweh your Elohim.’ “
Haftarah: Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44-45
In our Haftarah (prophets) portion we explain about Ezekiel’s Temple (or the fourth Temple), and the nasi (or the ‘prince’, or ‘president’) described in chapter 44. (Again, this is the fourth Temple. Not to be confused with the coming third Temple which will be an ‘unclean’, Talmudic, anti-Yeshua Temple.)
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 40:5
5 Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.
The ‘nasi’ (prince)
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:3
3 “As for the nasi (prince), because he is the nasi, he may sit in it to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way.”Strong’s Concordance H5387
נָשִׂא נָשִׂיא
nâśı̂y’ nâśi’ naw-see’, naw-see’
From H5375; properly an exalted one, that is, a king or sheik; also a rising mist: – captain, chief, cloud, governor, prince, ruler, vapour.
Total KJV occurrences: 134
Biblical offices/roles
We explain the that there are three main offices which are the kinship, the priesthood, and the prophet, then that of an anointed judge, and of a nasi (or president). And we will explain the purpose of each of these roles.
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:5
5 And Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yahweh, and all its laws. Mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary.”
Sins committed against Yahweh’s sanctuary
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:6-10
6 “Now say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh Elohim: “O house of Israel, let Us have no more of all your abominations.”
7 “When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My house—and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations.”8 “And you have not kept charge of My set-apart things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.”
9 Thus says Yahweh Elohim: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.10 “And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their [Jeroboam’s] idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
Punishment upon Israel and Judah
Melachim Bet (2 Kings) 18:11-13
11 Then the king of Assyria carried Israel away captive to Assyria, and put them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes…
12 because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh their Elohim, but transgressed His covenant and all that Moshe the servant of Yahweh had commanded; and they would neither hear nor do them…13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:11-16
11 “Yet they [lost, backslidden Judah] shall be ministers in My sanctuary, as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.12 Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand in an oath against them,” says Yahweh Elohim, “that they shall bear their iniquity.”
13 “And they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My set-apart things, nor into the Qodesh HaQodeshim; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 “Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.”15 “But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says Yahweh Elohim.
16 “They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.”
Some Josephite priests chosen during Millennial reign
We explain how, during the Millennial reign and the cleansed fourth Temple, both the Melchizedekian and the Levitical priesthoods will combine. And Yahweh’s promise that, at that time, He will take some of the house of Israel (Ephraim/Joseph) as priests.
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 66:21
21 “And I will also take some of them for priests and Levites,” says Yahweh.
Specific requirements of the fourth Temple priesthood
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:19
19 “When they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the set-apart chambers, and put on other garments; and in their set-apart garments they shall not set the people apart.”Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:20
20 “They shall neither shave their heads, nor let their hair grow long, but they shall keep their hair well trimmed.”Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 44:24
24 “In controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings, and they shall set-apart My Sabbaths.Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 45:19-20
19 “The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering…
20 “And so you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who has sinned unintentionally or in ignorance. Thus you shall make atonement for the temple.”Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 45:21-22
21 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 “And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.”Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 46:16
16 ‘Thus says Yahweh Elohim: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.”
Brit Chadasha: Luqa (Luke) 11-12
Yeshua our perfect priest
Now we come to our Brit Chadasha portion where we will explain how Yeshua HaMashiach Nagid (Messiah Yeshua the Director) fulfills the functions of a perfect priest. And what He expects from each of us as His wise and faithful stewards, continuing in His kingdom work while He is away.
The Disciples’ prayer
First, we will dive into the Disciple’s prayer and see how every follower of Yeshua HaMashiach should have Elohim’s kingdom set as the highest priority. Then, we will examine the following parables Yeshua spoke of, and compare these parable to our individual lives, to ask the very important question. Are we Yeshua’s disciples, and are we being wise and faithful stewarts of His kingdom work?
Luqa (Luke) 11:1-4
1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Adon, teach us to pray, as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven, set Your name apart.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”3 “Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
Parable of the unclean spirit
Luqa (Luke) 11:24-26
24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.26 “Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
The kingdom first
Luqa (Luke) 12:31-34
31 “But seek the kingdom of Elohim, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”33 “Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old,
a treasure in the heavens that does not fail,
where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.
34 “For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.”
The wise and unwise servant
Luqa (Luke) 12:42-50
42 And the Master said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 “Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.”44 “Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 “But if that servant says in his heart,,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, ‘My master is delaying his coming and to eat and drink and be drunk…”46 “…the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.”
47 “And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.”48 “But he who did NOT know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.”
49 “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 “But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!”51 “Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
52 “For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 “Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Set-apart vs worldly
Finally, we will look at some examples of how the world continues to preach a doctrine of inclusion rather than Yahweh’s doctrine of remaining set-apart (qodesh) unto Him.
Luqa (Luke) 12:53
53 “Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Functions of Yeshua our perfect priest.
Are we truly following Yeshua as our perfect priest? Are we remaining set-apart (qodesh) unto Him? Are we keeping the whole of Torah as He commanded, and refusing black-horse Talmudic Replacement Theology and red-horse Esavite Replacement Theology? Are we imitating Yeshua our perfect priest as much as possible in every way throughout our daily walk with Him and doing all that we can to establish His Kingdom on earth in His absence, as His wise and faithful stewards?
We hope this study was a blessing and helps you in your walk with Yeshua Mashiach Nagid (Messiah Yeshua the Director, our perfect High Priest).
Shabbat shalom.
