Lessons from Israel’s Idolatry
10 Moreover, brethren (fellow believers), I would not that ye should be ignorant (I do not want you to be unaware), how that all our fathers were under the cloud [in which God’s presence went before them], and all [miraculously] passed through the [Red] sea;
2 And were all baptized (immersed) unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat (spiritual food);
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ (Mashiach).
5 But with many of them God (Elohim; Yahuah) was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye (you) idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication (sexual intercourse before marriage), as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand (and 23,000 fell in one day) .
9 Neither let us tempt Christ ([that is, test Mashiach’s patience, question His purpose or exploit His goodness]), as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye (Do not grumble), as some of them also murmured (grumbled), and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition (caution), upon whom the ends of the world are (have) come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh (thinks) he standeth (stands) take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath (has) no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God (Elohim; Yahuah) is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye (you) are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye (you) may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry (the worship of idols).
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye (you) what I say.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ (Mashiach)? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ (Mashiach)?
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18 Behold (Observe) Israel after the flesh: are not they which (who) eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

123 Unto thee (You) lift I up mine (my) eyes, O thou (You) that dwellest (enthroned) in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) our God (Elohim), until that he (He) have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt (disrespect).
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt (disrespect) of the proud.

124 If it had not been the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath (extreme anger) was kindled (flaming) against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), who hath (has) not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare (trap) of the fowlers (hunters): the snare (trap) is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), who made heaven and earth.

125 They that trust in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth (remains, stays) for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is round about his (His) people from henceforth even for ever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity (sin).
4 Do good, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity (sin): but peace shall be upon Israel.

(NOTE: Aḏon (title) = אֲדוֹן (H113) = Lord / master / owner)
Adonai / Adonay (title) meaning in the Bible
(NOTE: Adonai / Adonay (title) = אֲדֹנָי (H136) – Pronunciation: ah-doe-NIGH = [My] Lord / Master)
THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR
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.”
(NOTE: YHWH (proper noun) = 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the proper name of the God of Israel. יְהוָֹה (H3068) in tetragrammaton: יְהוָֹה (H3068) יְ (yod) ה (he) וָֹ (uau / waw) ה (he))
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’: יְהוֹשׁעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahusha Ha-Mashiach = Yahusha The Anointed One.
Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One
NOTES:-
1. SPELLING VERSION #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. SPELLING VERSION #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. SPELLING VERSION #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. SPELLING VERSION #4:-
Yahusha (יְהוֹשׁוּ) as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father and according to the original ancient Hebrew text spelling.
Yah יָהּ (H3050), + וָֹ (u) + שַׁ Sh + ע A = Yahusha which means Yahuah (God) saves (H3091) (NOTE: Hebrew text is read from left to right). See the diagram below:-
יְהוֹשׁעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

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.”
