A pair: YHVH is Holy, we are to be holy as He is holy. Therefore we incline our hearts to Him, we walk in His ways, not walking naked in our own shameful ways or the ways of the world. We keep His commandments, statutes, and judgments which He commanded our fathers (Torah is not passed away). We keep the white garments we have been given in Messiah Yeshua, white, for the white garments are the righteous deeds of the saints (Rev 19:8).
Shabbat prophetic message: To the single nation (Judah, i.e. the Jews) and the assembly of nations (Ephraim, i.e. the believers in Messiah Yeshua) El Shaddai, the Almighty has given the land promised. He is the One – Yehovah, who declared His name with an outstretched arm when He brought Israel out from Egypt – who goes before you to enter in. Therefore take heart, neither fear nor be dismayed, but believe God that it will be just as He has told you. It has been written from time past that you may believe Him. Sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He will answer you in the day of your distress. He will be with you in the way which you go; He will not leave nor forsake you. You are the firstborn of the Holy One: keep His commandments which He commanded our fathers; keep your garments white, for the time of the second Exodus and the time of Yeshua’s coming is here.
