NEW TESTAMENT

¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren (fellow believers), that ye (you) also are full of goodness (the quality of being morally good or virtuous), filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another (able also to warn one another firmly).

¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren (fellow believers), I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God (Yahuah),

¹⁶ That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach) to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God (Yahuah), that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).

¹⁷ I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach) in those things which pertain (relate) to God (Yahuah).

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath (has) not wrought (done) by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

¹⁹ Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God (YHWH); so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ (Mashiach; the Messiah).

²⁰ Yea (Yes), so have I strived (made great effort) to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation (so that I would not build on another man’s foundation):

²¹ But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

²² For which cause also I have been much hindered (obstructed) from coming to you.

²³ But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

²⁴ Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward (toward there) by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

²⁵ But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

²⁶ For it hath (has) pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

²⁷ It hath (has) pleased them verily (truly); and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal (material, worldly, fleshly) things.

²⁸ When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit (and have completed this spiritual mission), I will come by you into Spain.

²⁹ And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

³⁰ Now I beseech (urge) you, brethren (brothers), for the Lord Jesus Christ’s (Yahusha HaMashiach’s) sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive (you make great effort) together with me in your prayers to God (Yahuah) for me;

³¹ That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea (Judea); and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

³² That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God (Yahuah), and may with you be refreshed.

³³ Now the God (Yahuah) of peace be with you all. Amen.

OLD TESTAMENT

Psalm 94
King James Version audio with speed control:-
(NOTE: To pause and to play again, press Fn + F5 on your keyboard)

Background music:-

94 O Lord God (Adonai Yahuah), to whom vengeance belongeth (belongs); O God (Yahuah), to whom vengeance belongeth (belongs), shew thyself (show Yourself).

² Lift up thyself (Yourself), thou (You) judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

³ Lord (Adonai), how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

⁴ How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity (evil, sin) boast themselves?

⁵ They break in pieces thy (Your) people, O Lord (Adonai), and afflict thine (Your) heritage.

⁶ They slay (kill) the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

⁷ Yet they say, The Lord (Adonai) shall not see, neither shall the God (YHWH) of Jacob regard it.

⁸ Understand, ye brutish (you are violent) among the people: and ye (you) fools, when will ye (you) be wise?

⁹ He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

¹⁰ He that chastiseth (disciplines) the heathen (nations), shall not he correct? he that teacheth (teaches) man knowledge, shall not he know?

¹¹ The Lord knoweth (Adonai knows) the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest (You discipline), O Lord (Adonai), and teacheth (teaches) him out of thy (Your) law;

¹³ That thou mayest (That You may) give him rest from the days of adversity (trouble), until the pit [hell] be digged (dug) for the wicked.

¹⁴ For the Lord (Adonai) will not cast off his (reject His) people, neither will he (He) forsake his (His) inheritance.

¹⁵ But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity (evil, sin)?

¹⁷ Unless the Lord (Adonai) had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt (lived) in silence.

¹⁸ When I said, My foot slippeth (slips); thy (Your) mercy, O Lord (Adonai), held me up.

¹⁹ In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy (Your) comforts delight my soul.

²⁰ Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee (Can a throne of destruction be allied with You), which frameth mischief (devises evil) by a law?

²¹ They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

²² But the Lord is my defence; and my God (Yahuah) is the rock of my refuge.

²³ And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity (evil, sin), and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea (yes), the Lord our God (Adonai our  Yahuah) shall cut them off.

Psalm 95

95 O come, let us sing unto the Lord (Adonai): let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

² Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

³ For the Lord (Adonai) is a great God (YHWH), and a great King above all gods.

⁴ In his (His) hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his (His) also.

⁵ The sea is his (His), and he (He) made it: and his (His) hands formed the dry land.

⁶ O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord (Adonai) our maker.

⁷ For he (He) is our God (Yahuah); and we are the people of his (His) pasture, and the sheep of his (His) hand. To day (Today) if ye (you) will hear his (His) voice,

⁸ Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

¹⁰ Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

¹¹ Unto whom I sware (swore) in my wrath (extreme anger) that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 96
King James Version audio with speed control:-

96 O sing unto the Lord (Adonai) a new song: sing unto the Lord (Adonai), all the earth.

² Sing unto the Lord (Adonai), bless his name; shew (show) forth his (His) salvation from day to day.

³ Declare his (His) glory among the heathen (nations), his (His) wonders among all people.

⁴ For the Lord (Adonai) is great, and greatly to be praised: he (He) is to be feared above all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord (Adonai) made the heavens.

⁶ Honour and majesty are before him (Him): strength and beauty are in his (His) sanctuary.

⁷ Give unto the Lord (Adonai), O ye (you) kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord (Adonai) glory and strength.

⁸ Give unto the Lord (Adonai) the glory due unto his (His) name: bring an offering, and come into his (His) courts.

⁹ O worship the Lord (Adonai) in the beauty of holiness: fear before him (Him), all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among the heathen (nations) that the Lord reigneth (reigns, rules): the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he (He) shall judge the people righteously.

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

¹³ Before the Lord (Adonai): for he cometh (He comes), for he cometh (He comes) to judge the earth: he (He) shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his (His) truth.

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hebrew text is read from LEFT to RIGHT:-

---

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:-

יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

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 (Yahusha), 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 (Yahusha) 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 (Yahuah).”

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
