NEW TESTAMENT

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers (authorities). For there is no power but of God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH): the powers that be are ordained of God.

² Whosoever therefore resisteth (resists) the power, resisteth (resists) the ordinance of God (Yahuah): and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou (Will you) then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt (you shall) have praise of the same:

⁴ For he is the minister of God (Yahuah) to thee (You) for good. But if thou (you) do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth (bears) not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God (Yahuah), a revenger to execute wrath (extreme anger) upon him that doeth (does) evil.

⁵ Wherefore ye (you) must needs be subject, not only for wrath (extreme anger), but also for conscience sake.

⁶ For for this cause pay ye (you) tribute also: for they are God’s (Yahuah’s) ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁷ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Love Fulfills the Law

⁸ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth (loves) another hath (has) fulfilled the law.

⁹ For this, Thou shalt (You shall) not commit adultery, Thou shalt (You shall) not kill, Thou shalt (You shall) not steal, Thou shalt (You shall) not bear false witness, Thou shalt (You shall) not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt (You shall) love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹⁰ Love worketh (works) no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹¹ And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

¹² The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

¹³ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting (causing violent disturbance) and drunkenness, not in chambering (sexual promiscuity) and wantonness (extreme sexual pleasures), not in strife (quarreling) and envying (jealousy).

¹⁴ But put ye (you) on the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua / Yahushua HaMashiach), and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts (sexual desires) thereof.

² Let my prayer come before thee (You): incline thine (Your) ear unto my cry;

³ For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto (draws near to) the grave.

⁴ I am counted with them that go down into the pit (grave): I am as a man that hath (has) no strength:

⁵ Free among the dead, like the slain (dead) that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest (whom You remember) no more: and they are cut off from thy (Your) hand.

⁶ Thou hast (You have) laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

⁷ Thy wrath lieth (Your extremely anger lies) hard upon me, and thou hast (You have) afflicted me with all thy (Your) waves. Selah.

⁸ Thou hast (You have) put away mine acquaintance (my friends who are not to close with) far from me; thou hast (You have) made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹ Mine (My) eye mourneth (mourns) by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee (You), I have stretched out my hands unto thee (You).

¹⁰ Wilt thou shew (Will You show) wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee (You)? Selah.

¹¹ Shall thy (Your) lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹² Shall thy (Your) wonders be known in the dark? and thy (Your) righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³ But unto thee (You) have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee (You).

¹⁴ Lord, why castest thou off my soul (why do you reject my soul)? why hidest thou thy (Why are You hiding Your) face from me?

¹⁵ I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy (Your) terrors I am distracted.

¹⁶ Thy (Your) fierce wrath goeth (extreme anger goes) over me; thy (Your) terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷ They came round about me daily like water; they compassed (surround) me about together.

¹⁸ Lover and friend hast thou (have You) put far from me, and mine acquaintance (my friends who are not to close with) into darkness.

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-

VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach (Hebrew) = Messiah (English) / Anointed One (the Savior who saves the sinners for those who believe in Him)

FULL NAME in Hebrew text with ‘The’: יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.

Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One 

NOTES:-

1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yahuah יְהוָֹה (H3068), adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 ) which means ‘Saves’. See the diagram below:-

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
