BLESSING BEFORE THE TORAH STUDY Blessed are you, YHVH our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with his commandments and commanded us to engross ourselves in the words of the Torah. HEBREW TRANSLITERATION: BA’RUCH ATAH YHVH ELOHENU MELECH HA-OLAM ASHER KIDSHANU B’MITZVOTAV VETZIVANU LA’ASOK B’DIVREI TORAH.

MAY WE YOUR CHILDREN, ALL OF ISRAEL, KNOW YOUR NAME, AND THE NAME OF YOUR MESSIAH, YESHUA, AND MAY WE STUDY YOUR TORAH SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS GOOD. BLESSED ARE YOU YHVH, WHO GAVE US THE TORAH OF TRUTH.
Torah Study Book of I John 3 “We knows”, con’t Part 44 I John 5: 19, 20 12/04/2019
1 John 5: 19 -20 (CJB) 19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.
2. “We Know” those who have truly exercised faith in Yeshua and His work need NEVER fear of falling under the wrath of YHVH against sinners.
Romans 8: 1 -2 (CJB) 8 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 2 Why? Because the Torah of the Spirit, which produces this life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the “Torah” of sin and death. Romans 8: 16 -17 (CJB) 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God; 17 and if we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with the Messiah — provided we are suffering with him in order also to be glorified with him.
The work of the Ruach in our lives, will continue to affirm a settled affirmation of one’s true identity, as a child of YHVH, as a member of His family, thereby, having eternal life! So one who is truly born again through Yeshua can have assurance of eternal life.
1 John 5: 19 (CJB) 19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One. 1 John 3: 1 (CJB) 3 See what love the Father has lavished on us in letting us be called God’s children! For that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it has not known him. “We are of YHVH”, literally “We are out of YHVH”
YHVH, is our Father, our source of our spiritual life and our being! Not only the witness of the Ruach, but also by the changed life we live!
1 John 5: 19 (CJB) 19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One.
World (Kosmos) different ways in this epistle: 1. Denotes the created universe, and abode of mankind. 2. Physical world and the things it contains, as that which is temporal but also necessary. 3. Describes that which is contrary to YHVH and that which should have no part in a believers life.
Means that the world in its totality has been and continues to be affected by the evil one, satan!
John 14: 30 -31 (CJB) 30 “I won’t be talking with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me; 31 rather, this is happening so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father has commanded me. “Get up! Let’s get going!
He is affirming that the evil one has no authority over Him and thus His obedience to the Father is what brought Him to the cross, not the schemes or success of the enemy! 1 John 5: 4 (CJB) 4 because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust.
Those people who are still dominated by the standards of the world do so because such worldly domination suits their fallen disposition. They are coerced into their worldly lifestyle but choose it willingly.
1 John 5: 19 (CJB) 19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One. Greek word translated “lies” (keimai) can be used with extended meanings such as: to exist, to be appointed, set, destined, to occur, appear.
But its most often sense as used in the Apostolic Scriptures is that of a reclining position, particularly of a person lying down.
“the world” represents human society under the power of evil and at war with YHVH and His people! There are only two possible positions. Everyone is rither “of YHVH” or “under the control of the evil one”. Neutrality is NOT possible!
Colossians 1: 13 (CJB) 13 He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son.
1 John 5: 20 (CJB) 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life. He is reminding us of that decisive moment in their life when they heard the message and put their faith in Yeshua!
John knows nothing of a “salvation” that can be lost, regained, and lost again. Salvation belongs to Yeshua and He is the One Who keeps all who are His!
This weapon is being used even today, it is a “intellectual weapon” against Yeshua!
To deny that Yeshua is the Son of YHVH, YHVH come in the flesh, is to deny that He could, in fact, pay for the sins of all those who would be saved.
Yeshua, the Son of YHVH is affirming the divine nature of Yeshua as well as His human nature!
1 John 5: 20 (CJB) 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.
John calls us to engage the battle for the truth, against the evil one and his lies, and the darkness of the world that lies under his power.
Having been gird about with YHVH’s truth, and having the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of YHVH, we know that we will be successful through the power that YHVH gives us!
1 John 5: 20 (CJB) 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.
