NEW TESTAMENT

14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye (you), but not to doubtful disputations (arguments).

² For one believeth (believes) that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth (eats) herbs (vegetables).

³ Let not him that eateth (eats) despise him that eateth (eats) not; and let not him which eateth (eats) not judge him that eateth (eats): for God hath (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH has) received him.

⁴ Who art thou (Who are you) that judgest (judge) another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth (stands) or falleth (falls). Yea (Yes), he shall be holden (held) up: for God (Yahuah) is able to make him stand.

⁵ One man esteemeth (esteems, respects) one day above another: another esteemeth (esteems, respects) every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth (regards) the day, regardeth (regards) it unto the Lord (Adonai) ; and he that regardeth (regards) not the day, to the Lord he doth (Adonai he does) not regard it. He that eateth (eats), eateth (eats) to the Lord (Adonai) , for he giveth God (gives Yahuah) thanks; and he that eateth (eats) not, to the Lord (Adonai) he eateth (eats) not, and giveth God (gives Yahuah) thanks.

(NOTE: Adonai / Adonay = אֲדֹנָי (H136) – Pronunciation: ah-doe-NIGH = [My] Lord / Master)

⁷ For none of us liveth (lives) to himself, and no man dieth (dies) to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord (Adonai); and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord (Adonai) both of the dead and living.

¹⁰ But why dost thou (do you) judge thy (your) brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother (Or you again, why do you look down on your [believing] brother or regard him with contempt)? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai), every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Yahuah).

¹² So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Yahuah).

¹³ Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock (stumbling block) or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus (Adonai Yahusha / Yeshua HaMashiach), that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth (esteems, respects) any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹⁵ But if thy brother be grieved with thy (your) meat, now walkest thou not charitably (now you do not walk in love). Destroy not him with thy (your) meat, for whom Christ died.

¹⁶ Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God (Yahuah) is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).

¹⁸ For he that in these things serveth (serves) Christ is acceptable to God (Yahuah), and approved of men.

¹⁹ Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify (instruct) another.

²⁰ For meat destroy not the work of God (Yahuah). All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth (eats) with offence.

²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth (your brother stumbles), or is offended, or is made weak.

²² Hast thou faith (Do you have faith)? have it to thyself (yourself) before God (Yahuah). Happy is he that condemneth (condemns) not himself in that thing which he alloweth (allows).

²³ And he that doubteth (doubts) is damned if he eat, because he eateth (eats) not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord (Adonai) for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy (Your) faithfulness to all generations.

² For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy (Your) faithfulness shalt thou (shall You) establish in the very heavens.

³ I have made a covenant (agreement) with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

⁴ Thy seed (Your descendants) will I establish for ever, and build up thy (your) throne to all generations. Selah.

(NOTE:  Selah (interjection) = Suspension (of music, i.e. pause [H5542 – סֶלָה]). 

⁵ And the heavens shall praise thy (Your) wonders, O Lord (O Adonai): thy (Your) faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

⁶ For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord (Adonai)? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord (Adonai)?

⁷ God (Yahuah) is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him (Him).

⁸ O Lord God of hosts (O Adonai Yahuah of armies), who is a strong Lord (Adonai) like unto thee (You)? or to thy (Your) faithfulness round about thee (You)?

⁹ Thou rulest (You rule) the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest (You still) them.

¹⁰ Thou hast (You have) broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain (dead); thou hast (You have) scattered thine (Your) enemies with thy (Your) strong arm.

¹¹ The heavens are thine (Yours) , the earth also is thine (Yours) : as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them (You have found them).

¹² The north and the south thou hast (You have) created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy (Your) name.

¹³ Thou hast (You have) a mighty arm: strong is thy (Your) hand, and high is thy (Your) right hand.

¹⁴ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy (Your) throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy (Your) face.

¹⁵ Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord (O Adonai), in the light of thy (Your) countenance (appearance).

¹⁶ In thy (Your) name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

¹⁷ For thou art (You are) the glory of their strength: and in thy (Your) favour our horn shall be exalted.

¹⁸ For the Lord (Adonai) is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

¹⁹ Then thou spakest (You spoke) in vision to thy (Your) holy one, and saidst (said), I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰ I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

²¹ With whom my hand shall be established: mine (my) arm also shall strengthen him.

²² The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³ And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

²⁴ But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

²⁵ I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

²⁶ He shall cry unto me, Thou art (You are) my father, my God (Yahuah), and the rock of my salvation.

²⁷ Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

²⁸ My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

²⁹ His seed (His descendants) also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰ If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

³¹ If they break my statutes (written law), and keep not my commandments;

³² Then will I visit their transgression (wrongdoing, offence) with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³³ Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵ Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

³⁶ His seed (His descendants) shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

³⁸ But thou hast cast off (But You have rejected) and abhorred (hated), thou hast (You have) been wroth (angry) with thine (Your) anointed.

³⁹ Thou hast (You have) made void the covenant of thy (Your) servant: thou hast (You have) profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

⁴⁰ Thou hast (You have) broken down all his hedges (fences); thou hast (You have) brought his strong holds to ruin.

⁴¹ All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach (disappointment) to his neighbours.

⁴² Thou hast (You have) set up the right hand of his adversaries (enemies); thou hast (You have) made all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³ Thou hast (You have) also turned the edge of his sword, and hast (have) not made him to stand in the battle.

⁴⁴ Thou hast (You have) made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁵ The days of his youth hast thou (You have) shortened: thou hast (You have) covered him with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶ How long, Lord (Adonai)? wilt thou (Will You) hide thyself (Yourself) for ever? shall thy wrath (Your extreme anger) burn like fire?

⁴⁷ Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou (Why have You) made all men in vain?

⁴⁸ What man is he that liveth (lives), and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

⁴⁹ Lord (Adonai), where are thy (Your) former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto (You swore to) David in thy (Your) truth?

⁵⁰ Remember, Lord (Adonai), the reproach of thy (Your) servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

⁵¹ Wherewith thine (Your) enemies have reproached, O Lord (O Adonai); wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine (Your) anointed.

⁵² Blessed be the Lord (Adonai) for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

Psalm 90
King James Version audio with speed control:-

Background music:-

BOOK FOUR (Psalms 90-106)

A Prayer of Moses the man of God (Yahuah).

90 Lord, thou hast (You have) been our dwelling (living) place in all generations.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst (You had) formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God (You are Yahuah).

³ Thou turnest (You turn) man to destruction; and sayest (say), Return, ye (you) children of men.

⁴ For a thousand years in thy (Your) sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

⁵ Thou carriest (You carry) them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth (grows) up.

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth (flourishes), and groweth (grows) up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth (withers; dries up).

⁷ For we are consumed by thine (Your) anger, and by thy wrath (Your extreme anger) are we troubled.

⁸ Thou hast (You have) set our iniquities (sins) before thee (You), our secret sins in the light of thy countenance (Your presence).

⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath (Your extreme anger): we spend our years as a tale that is told.

¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70 years); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80 years), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

¹¹ Who knoweth (knows) the power of thine (Your) anger? even according to thy fear (Your reverence), so is thy wrath (Your extreme anger).

¹² So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

¹³ Return, O Lord (Adonai), how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants (Be compassionate toward Your servants, revoke Your sentence).

¹⁴ O satisfy us early with thy (Your) mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵ Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us (You have caused suffering to us) , and the years wherein we have seen evil.

¹⁶ Let thy (Your) work appear unto thy (Your) servants, and thy (Your) glory unto their children.

¹⁷ And let the beauty of the Lord (Adonai) our God (Yahuah) be upon us: and establish thou (You) the work of our hands upon us; yea (yes), the work of our hands establish thou it (You establish it).

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

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.”
