NEW TESTAMENT

4 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ (Mashiach), and stewards (trustees, administrators) of the mysteries of God (Elohim; Yahuah).

² Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea (yes), I judge not mine (my) own self.

⁴ For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he (He) that judgeth (judges) me is the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai).

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come (Aḏon comes), who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest (disclose the motives of the hearts) the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God (Elohim; Yahuah).

⁶ And these things, brethren (brothers), I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye (you) might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up (proud) for one against another.

⁷ For who maketh thee (makes you) to differ from another? and what hast thou (have you) that thou didst (you did) not receive? now if thou didst (you did)  receive it, why dost thou (do you) glory, as if thou hadst (if you had) not received it?

⁸ Now ye (you) are full, now ye (you) are rich, ye (you) have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God (Elohim; Yahuah) ye (you) did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁹ For I think that God (Elohim; Yahuah) hath (has) set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle (an exhibition) unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ’s (Mashiach’s) sake, but ye (you) are wise in Christ (Mashiach); we are weak, but ye (you) are strong; ye (you) are honourable, but we are despised (dishonored).

¹¹ Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted (roughly treated), and have no certain dwellingplace (places to live);

¹² And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled (criticized), we bless; being persecuted (ill treated), we suffer it:

¹³ Being defamed, we intreat (pray): we are made as the filth (dirt) of the world, and are the offscouring (scum; rejected by the society) of all things unto this day.

¹⁴ I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

¹⁵ For though ye (you) have ten thousand instructers in Christ (Mashiach), yet have ye (you) not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus (HaMashiach Yahusha) I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁶ Wherefore I beseech (urge) you, be ye (you) followers of me.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus (Timothy), who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord (Aḏon), who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ (Mashiach), as I teach every where in every church.

¹⁸ Now some are puffed up (proud), as though I would not come to you.

¹⁹ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord (Aḏon) will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up (who are proud), but the power.

²⁰ For the kingdom of God (Elohim; Yahuah) is not in word, but in power.

²¹ What will ye (Which do you prefer)? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness (humbleness)?

107 O give thanks unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), for he (He) is good: for his (His) mercy endureth (endures) for ever.

² Let the redeemed of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) say so, whom he hath (He has) redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

³ And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

⁴ They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell (live) in.

⁵ Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

⁶ Then they cried unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) in their trouble, and he (He) delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷ And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

⁸ Oh that men would praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) for his (His) goodness, and for his (His) wonderful works to the children of men!

⁹ For he satisfieth (He satisfies) the longing soul, and filleth (fills) the hungry soul with goodness.

¹⁰ Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

¹¹ Because they rebelled against the words of God (Elohim; Yahuah), and contemned the counsel of the most High:

¹² Therefore he (He) brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

¹³ Then they cried unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) in their trouble, and he (He) saved them out of their distresses.

¹⁴ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake (broke) their bands in sunder (apart).

¹⁵ Oh that men would praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) for his (His) goodness, and for his (His) wonderful works to the children of men!

¹⁶ For he hath (He has) broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in in sunder (apart).

¹⁷ Fools because of their transgression (wrongdoings), and because of their iniquities (sins), are afflicted (distressed).

¹⁸ Their soul abhorreth (hate) all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

¹⁹ Then they cry unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) in their trouble, and he saveth (He saves) them out of their distresses.

²⁰ He sent his (His) word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

²¹ Oh that men would praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) for his (His) goodness, and for u(His) wonderful works to the children of men!

²² And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his (His) works with rejoicing.

²³ They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

²⁴ These see the works of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), and his (His) wonders in the deep.

²⁵ For he commandeth (He commands), and raiseth (raises) the stormy wind, which lifteth (lifts) up the waves thereof.

²⁶ They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

²⁷ They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end (and all their wisdom was useless).

²⁸ Then they cry unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) in their trouble, and he bringeth (He brings) them out of their distresses.

²⁹ He maketh (makes) the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

³⁰ Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth (He brings) them unto their desired haven.

³¹ Oh that men would praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) for his (His) goodness, and for his (His) wonderful works to the children of men!

³² Let them exalt him (Him) also in the congregation of the people, and praise him (Him) in the assembly of the elders.

³³ He turneth (turns) rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings (water springs) into dry ground;

³⁴ A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell (live) therein.

³⁵ He turneth (turns) the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings (water springs).

³⁶ And there he maketh (He makes) the hungry to dwell (live), that they may prepare a city for habitation;

³⁷ And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

³⁸ He blesseth (blesses) them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth (suffers) not their cattle to decrease.

³⁹ Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

⁴⁰ He poureth (pours) contempt upon princes, and causeth (causes) them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

⁴¹ Yet setteth he (He sets) the poor on high from affliction, and maketh (makes) him families like a flock.

⁴² The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity (evil, sin) shall stop her mouth.

⁴³ Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai).

108 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

² Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

³ I will praise thee (You), O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee (You) among the nations.

⁴ For thy (Your) mercy is great above the heavens: and thy (Your) truth reacheth unto (reaches to) the clouds.

⁵ Be thou (You) exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy (Your) glory above all the earth;

⁶ That thy (Your) beloved may be delivered: save with thy (Your) right hand, and answer me.

⁷ God hath (Elohim / Yahuah has) spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete (measure) out the valley of Succoth.

⁸ Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine (my) head; Judah is my lawgiver;

⁹ Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out (throw) my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

¹⁰ Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

¹¹ Wilt not thou (Will not You), O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou (and will not You), O God, go forth with our hosts?

¹² Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

¹³ Through God (Elohim; Yahuah) we shall do valiantly: for he (He) it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 109

Background music:-

To the chief Musician, Psalm of David.

109 Hold not thy (Your) peace, O God (Elohim; Yahuah) of my praise;

² For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

³ They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries (enemies): but I give myself unto prayer.

⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁶ Set thou a wicked man over him (Appoint a wicked man against him): and let Satan stand at his right hand.

⁷ When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

⁸ Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

⁹ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

¹⁰ Let his children be continually vagabonds (homeless), and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

¹¹ Let the extortioner catch all that he hath (has); and let the strangers spoil his labour.

¹² Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

¹³ Let his posterity (descendants) be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹⁴ Let the iniquity (sin) of his fathers be remembered with the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai); and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁵ Let them be before the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) continually, that he (He) may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁶ Because that he (the man) remembered not to shew (show) mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay (kill) the broken in heart.

¹⁷ As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

¹⁸ As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

¹⁹ Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth (covers) him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

²⁰ Let this be the reward of mine adversaries (my enemies) from the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), and of them that speak evil against my soul.

²¹ But do thou (You) for me, O God the Lord (O Elohim the 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), for thy (Your) name’s sake: because thy (Your) mercy is good, deliver thou me (You deliver/rescue me).

²² For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declineth (declines): I am tossed up and down as the locust.

²⁴ My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth (fails) of fatness.

²⁵ I became also a reproach (disappointment) unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked (shook) their heads.

²⁶ Help me, O Lord my God (O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai my Elohim): O save me according to thy (Your) mercy:

²⁷ That they may know that this is thy (Your) hand; that thou (You), Lord, hast (have) done it.

²⁸ Let them curse, but bless thou (You): when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy (Your) servant rejoice.

²⁹ Let mine adversaries (my enemies) be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle (robe).

³⁰ I will greatly praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) with my mouth; yea (yes), I will praise him (Him) among the multitude (crowd).

³¹ For he (He) shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

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.”
