Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! "The Book of the Jubilees" which is also known by some as "Lesser Genesis" is a very interesting book as it gives us more background and how the background was given. We learned in part one that Moses received this word on Mount Sinai from an Angel/Malek (Messenger) of the LORD, in the second chapter, we learn about what God created and on which days...and we also learn that God's Chosen People: ISRAEL are to keep the Shabbats. To not do so is to die. Yesterday, we learned that Adam and Eve were cursed for taking from the tree in the middle of the Garden, then we go down the lines until we hit Noah and his family and learn that there were a lot more people born of Adam and Eve then we have heard of in Genesis. After this, Noah gets into the Ark and the waters begin to rise; and the world completely changes and we are given our calendar. 13 weeks between each change of the season. 4 Divisions. Each start at the Observance of the New Moon. 364 Day calendar! As Noah commands his son about the observances and of what he sees of his own children and how they have been fighting and their children aren't doing what they are supposed to, Noah tells them that he worries that they will be taken care of by God...and not in a good way, which leads us to the sons of Noah dividing their inheritance (the earth) by using lots. We learn of the land which they decided upon, and Noah is overjoyed because of a prophecy that he had spoken about Shem and The Almighty God blessing him. Who are Shem's people -- eventually? The Sons of Jacob...The Twelve Tribes... ISRAEL. And in the 9th Chapter, Noah has his son's swear an oath that when they divide their land to their sons, that none of them will try to take any of their brothers' land. What happens if they do? Cursed... which brings us to Canaan and how he stole from Shem's lot... which makes a lot more sense as to why Canaan is The Land of Milk and Honey and how it is The Promised Land of God's Chosen People through Shem's line. Then we come to Babel, and the son's language have now been confounded...and the people who once spoke Hebrew are no longer. Things are far away from The Most High God now, and the land has now gone from being divided between Noah's son's sons to Ham's son Canaan, taking Shem's land. So...we now are seeing the line that leads us down into Abram (Abraham) who we learn loves God and has learned basically what not to do from his father's example. And the coolest part? God speaks to him and Abraham listens! God chooses him because Abraham chose God and God reveals to him the language of Hebrew, and now Abraham has been given his fathers' books... what books you say? Oh, just the ones that Noah scribed... And guess what? Nobody has been able to read the language for many years. So, this all fits with the other book that I have been reading "The Book of Formation" Serif Yetzirah... After favoring and blessing Abraham, God shows him everything that he can see and tells him that this land and all of it is his and his people's. He is the Father of All Nations! So, now we learn that Lot, his nephew, has been taken, and Abraham leaves to go get him. Which brings us to Abram having a vision and a promise that he will father a child, that he will have many. God shows him that his people will be strangers in a strange land for 400 years...which brings us to the circumcision and the importance of it and what it means to get it and not get it. This is the torah...We see in 16 that Abraham will not pass away until after he sees all of his children born (6 more sons) after Isaac. We also learn that all of those children of Abraham will be gentiles....all but Isaac. In Isaac is the Holy Kodesh...seed... At the end of 17, the demon prince wants Yahweh to ask Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to see if he will do it or not... This is a whole Job situation here...and now we have made it to the 18th and 19th chapter where Jacob and Esau are born and Isaac loves Esau the best and Rebecca loves Jacob the best, but Abraham's blessing is going to go to Jacob... He tells Rebecca to take care of Jacob because he is special. And now we come to 20 and 21 where Abraham is on his death bed and gives instructions on what to do and what not to do... One is no fornicating, and the other no marrying anyone from Canaan... The people from Canaan will be rooted out... In 22 and 23 we learn that Abraham has died with Jacob in his arms -- after blessing him greatly. We also learn why we die so early and the upcoming tribulation, and then there is Esau and Jacob...Esau gives his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup out of red pottery, he is then known as Edom... Esau also is with two women from Canaan! Remember what Abraham said about Canaan? DON'T GO THERE! Esau went...now his people will be rooted out in the end... Which leads us to Palestine...I mean Luz, I mean Bethel, the place where God has blessed and where Jacob had his vision of the "ladder from heaven to earth"...Surely this is GOD'S Land! And what about "The Heap of Witness" conforming from what it used to be called "The Land of The Rephaim (Giants)"? And then we have Jacob, and his twelve sons...and one daughter. His daughter is defiled, and two of his sons execute judgment on the entire town that defiled her! So, Yahweh, blesses them and curses anyone who curses ISRAEL. And guess what? The Shechemites cursed Dinah, so Yahweh gave Levi Righteous Judgment... All in the house of Shechem that were males were executed. Then we see Jacob make it back to his mother and father, just as Yahweh has promised! So, Jacob set up a pillar in Bethel (the one that he set up before) and went with his two sons, Levi and Judah, to get his parents to bring them there and offer up the sacrifice to Yahweh as a blessing, but Isaac was too weak, so he took mother and her cousin Deborah, but not before Isaac blessed Levi and Judah! Then we learn something that shocked me to my core...the reason why Canaan was cursed! Ham slept with his own MOTHER... He uncovered his father's nakedness... we find this out by the wording of the same act with Reuben and Bilah... Reuben defiled her, and committed a sin against his father. And Rebecca is on her death bed, has Isaac promise to talk to Esau about not killing Jacob, and Isaac admits that even though Esau was his favorite son, he knows that is no longer the case because Esau is evil. Then we come to Esau and Jacob fighting... Jacob ends up killing him, and many of his people are taken down by Jacob's sons who end up getting Esau's children to bow to them. Finally we are back to Joseph. He is 17 now, and he is a prisoner in Pharaoh's prison because Pharoh's wife lied, but God's got Joseph. He is favoured, and ends up basically being in charge of the prison. He meets two of Pharoh's workers that Pharoh put there, and they both had a dream on the same night. Joseph interpreted the dreams as one died and the other would get out, and eventually...Joseph would too. And now we head back to Jacob's sons' sons... First we find out that Judah married a Canaanite (What in the world are these men doing?) and she and Judah had three sons, Er, Onan and Shelah. Judah didn't want his sons to marry a woman from Canaan (I'm guessing he finally listened) so he set Er up with Tamar. Well, Er didn't want her, he wanted a woman from his mother's lineage, so God killed him. Then Tamar, seeing as she was promised a husband, was then promised to Onan (per tradition), well, Onan didn't want his seed to be his brother's kid, (weird way of thinking of it,) so he spilled it on the ground, and...God killed him. So, now, Shelah was up next to get Tamar, but Judah's wife didn't want Shelah to have her, so Judah tarried on that, and after his wife died, he was out and about and Tamar tricked him into being with her, which wasn't a good thing. He ended up getting her pregnant, and she had twins. And since he repented of his sin of showing his son's nakedness (the whole thing with being with his son's wife) God allowed his seed to not be uprooted, and in that is the line that goes directly to Yeshua! After all this, we are back on Joseph... So, Joseph's family is basically starving, and Jacob (Israel) finds out that Egypt has some food stored up so he sends his kids out to get some. When they do, the pharaoh (Joseph) asks why there is someone missing from their group, and they tell them that one brother stayed at home in case they got in trouble, and he said that he doesn't believe them so he would keep one brother, until they bring the other one back as an insurance policy... (Obviously, I'm paraphrasing.) So, they go back to their father, they have their money, too, which doesn't look good, and they explain the situation, and Reuben offers to go and take Benjamin, and get Simeon back, but Jacob says no. Then Judah offers, and offers him up as a tribute basically to get Simeon and he said that he would take care of Benjamin. After a while of not having food, Jacob finally agrees. They go, and Joseph tricks them and puts a cup of his own in Benjamin's bag (So he can keep his brother as a slave) but Judah pleads with him and explains the situation. Joseph's heart opens and he said that it all worked out (the selling of him) because God used him in order to save everyone. All is well now, and they head back with all sorts of corn and asses to give to Jacob in order to bring him to Joseph to show him that he is indeed alive. After they bring him into Goshen, Egypt's best land, Jacob lives for another 17 years. He tells his sons of his vision, and gives Levi the books of his fathers, which leads us into Joseph's eventual death and the death of his brothers. The sons of Israel all being buried in Canaan--except for Joseph who was buried in Egypt. Then Israel (the people) being tricked into slavery by the Egyptians.... because they were getting way too big and the Pharaoh, whom didn't know Joseph, wouldn't be able to contain them. Which brings us to Moses and his birth and the time that surrounded him during the 49th jubilee and the people of Israel crying to God. We learn about how Moses got out of Egypt, received command from God, and went back in to get the people out. We learned that evil was indeed back in Egypt, and that Mastema was at his old tricks again. And we are finally at our last chapter!
Once again, my commentary on this is in BOLD. :) Enjoy! This is copied from online sources as it is FREE for all. This book was taken out by almost all mainstream bibles. I use the KJV and it was removed by the Nicean Council. More on that later.
The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 50
Remember the Shabbats (Day of prayers/sabbaths) of YAHWEH and keep it Kodesh (holy) and do not pollute it
1 And after this Torah I made known to you the days of the Shabbats in the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai. (Doesn't mean morally(sin) just the name of the place. Here's what I found on Wikipedia: Wilderness of Sin - Wikipedia)
2 And I told you of the Shabbats of the land on Mount Sinai, and I told you of the jubilee years in the Shabbats of years: but the year thereof have I not told you till you enter the land which you are to possess.
3 And the land also shall keep its Shabbats while they dwell upon it, and they shall know the jubilee year. (Now we know the whole purpose for the tracking of this.)
4 Wherefore I have ordained for you the year-weeks and the years and the jubilees: there are forty-nine jubilees from the days of Adam until this day, [2410 A.M.] and one week and two years: and there are yet forty years to come (lit. 'distant') for learning the [2450 A.M.] commandments of YAHWEH, until they pass over into the land of Canaan, crossing the Jordan to the west.(Oh dang... so he totally knew how long they would be wandering in the desert... yeowza...)
5 And the jubilees shall pass by, until Yisrael is cleansed from all guilt of fornication, and uncleanness, and pollution, and sin, and error, and dwells with confidence in all the land, and there shall be no more a Satan or any evil one, and the land shall be clean from that time forevermore. (WOW! Nice! This is what I am going through now with my awakening. I find it interesting that most of my stuff started when I was 4 - memories that I can remember - and I just turned 45. I finally feel like I have gone through a major overhaul of sin and a personal transformation of getting out of mind slavery and am all for God The Most High. This was my personal exodus!)
6 And behold the commandment regarding the Shabbats -I have written them down for you- and all the judgments of its laws.
7 Six days shall you labor, but on the seventh day is the Shabbat of YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler. In it you shall do no manner of work, you and your sons, and your men- servants and your maid-servants, and all your cattle and the sojourner also who is with you.
8 And the man that does any work on it shall die: whoever desecrates that day, whoever lies with (his) wife, or whoever says he will do something on it, that he will set out on a journey thereon in regard to any buying or selling: and whoever draws water thereon which he had not prepared for himself on the sixth day, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house shall die.
9 You shall do no work whatever on the Shabbat day save what you have prepared for yourselves on the sixth day, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and keep Shabbat from all work on that day, and to bless YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler, who has given you a day of festival and a kodesh day: and a day of the kodesh kingdom for all Yisrael is this day among their days forever.
10 For great is the honor which YAHWEH has given to Yisrael that they should eat and drink and be satisfied on this festival day, and rest thereon from all labor which belongs to the labor of the children of men save burning frankincense and bringing oblations and sacrifices before YAHWEH for days and for Shabbats.
11 This work alone shall be done on the Shabbat-days in the sanctuary of YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler; that they may atone for Yisrael with sacrifice continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before YAHWEH, and that He may receive them always from day to day according as you have been commanded.
12 And every man who does any work thereon, or goes a journey, or tills (his) farm, whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast, or travels by ship on the sea, and whoever strikes or kills anything, or slaughters a beast or a bird, or whoever catches an animal or a bird or a fish, or whoever fasts or makes war on the Shabbats:
13 The man who does any of these things on the Shabbat shall die, so that the children of Yisrael shall observe the Shabbats according to the commandments regarding the Shabbats of the land, as it is written in the tablets, which He gave into my hands that I should write out for you the laws of the seasons, and the seasons according to the division of their days.
Herewith is completed the account of the division of the days.
WOW! That is a lot for the Sabbath day! Now that I officially know this, I need to know more information, as Jesus (Yeshua!) brought his covenant. I know that the Ten Commandments are still there. I understand that the Sabbath day is very important, but I am wondering if there is more to this. Thank you for reading this in-depth discussion on The Book of Jubilees! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did reading and discussing it with you! God bless all that are reading this discussion, and remember to use your own discernment with everything that is out there and available to you. I give all glory to The Most High God.
Shalom, Danielle
