Lessons from Israel’s Idolatry (continuation)
19 What say I then (What do I mean then)? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God (Elohim; Yahuah): and I would not that ye (you) should have fellowship with devils.
(NOTE: Gentiles (noun / adjective) = anyone who is not of Jewish descent or who does not believe in God [Yahuah]; heathen, pagan)
21 Ye (You) cannot drink the cup of the Lord (Aḏon), and the cup of devils: ye (you) cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table (table of the Aḏon), and of the table of devils (demons).
22 Do we provoke the Lord (Aḏon) to jealousy? are we stronger than he (He)?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient (beneficial): all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not (are not uplifting).
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles (butcher’s slaughterhouse), that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth is the Lord’s (belongs to Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and the fulness thereof (and all that fills it).
27 If any of them that believe not bid (unbelievers invites) you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go (and you want to go); whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake (eat whatever is served to you without asking questions [about its source] for the sake of your conscience).
28 But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not (do not eat) for his sake that shewed (showed) it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s (belongs to Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and the fulness thereof (and all that fills it):
29 Conscience, I say, not thine (your) own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether therefore ye (you) eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye (you) do, do all to the glory of God (Elohim; Yahuah).
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God (Elohim; Yahuah):
33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine (my) own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

A Song of degrees.
126 When the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen (godless), The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) done great things for them.
3 The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth (goes) forth and weepeth (weeps), bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (bundles of grain stalks) with him.

127 Except the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) keep the city, the watchman waketh (wakes) but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth (gives) his (His) beloved sleep.
3 Lo (Look), children are an heritage of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath (has) his quiver (tremble) full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

128 Blessed is every one that feareth (who fears) the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); that walketh (who walks) in his (His) ways.
2 For thou shalt (you shall) eat the labour of thine (your) hands: happy shalt thou (shall you) be, and it shall be well with thee (you).
3 Thy (Your) wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine (your) house: thy (your) children like olive plants round about thy (your) table.
4 Behold (See), that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth (who fears) the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).
5 The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) shall bless thee (you) out of Zion: and thou shalt (you shall) see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy (your) life.
6 Yea (Yes), thou shalt (you shall) see thy (your) children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

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))

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)

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.”
