[21:24] Qumran_Bet And Amen! --Br. Jerry
[21:24] SisAnca AMEN!
EliYah Brethren, Qumran_Bet has something to share with us tonite...
[21:25] Qumran_Bet I'm going to temporarily change my nick to BrClif, since this message will be
from my thoughts on what I found in YHWH's word...
[21:26] Qumran_Bet Some of you may not agree with some of the things I will be teaching, but that is
your prerogative... I am convinced in my own mind...
[21:26] Qumran_Bet Not all here believe all that I believe...
[21:26] Qumran_Bet And that is fine.
[21:26] *** Qumran_Bet is now known as BrClif
[21:26] BrClif What I am going to talk about tonight is traps, pits, and snares, as
[21:26] BrClif mentioned in scripture:
[21:27] BrClif When I was in the Army in Alaska during the Winter time, we would go out to
[21:27] BrClif the woods for field duty sometimes. Some of the other soldiers would set
[21:27] BrClif snares on the well-beaten paths of rabbits. The rabbits would run through
[21:27] BrClif what otherwise had always been a safe path. A good portion of them would
[21:27] BrClif hang themselves as they ran through the snare. Some would die slowly.
[21:27] BrClif Others would try to eat their way out. Some would be lucky enough to
[21:27] BrClif escape. Most would get eaten, however unclean they were. I once waited in
[21:27] BrClif ambush for some "enemy" soldiers, sitting against a tree. Before long, a
[21:27] BrClif rabbit came along and was right behind me. He didn't seem to detect me.
[21:28] BrClif I knew that I could kill him if he only got in front of me. That rabbit was
[21:28] BrClif spared. Though he had been so close, he was delivered from the trap.
[21:28] BrClif Anybody is subject to being ensnared... Even the malahkim/angels in
[21:28] BrClif Chanoch's/Enoch's day were ensnared by SatanEL's leadership and their
[21:28] BrClif desire to make children with the daughters of men. (See 1 Enoch). . .
[21:28] *** babbleon (babbleon@pm2-30.flinet.com) has left #1MESSIAH
[21:28] BrClif See
[21:28] BrClif where YHWH put them for their transgression and apostacy from Heaven...
[21:29] BrClif 2 Kefa 2:4
[21:29] BrClif 4 Certainly if Elohim did not hold back from punishing the malahkim/angels
[21:29] BrClif that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of
[21:29] BrClif dense darkness to be reserved for judgment;
[21:29] BrClif YHWH imprisoned them in a pit for being ensnared by their desire for human women.
[21:30] BrClif ----------------
[21:30] BrClif Sinners will say of the innocent,
[21:30] BrClif Pr1:12
[21:30] BrClif 12 Let us swallow them DOWN alive just like Sheol/Shaul, even whole,
[21:30] BrClif like those going DOWN to a pit.
[21:30] BrClif -----------------------
[21:30] BrClif The Pit=Death
[21:30] BrClif Ps49:9
[21:30] BrClif 9 That he should still live forever [and] not see the pit.
[21:30] BrClif ------------------
[21:30] BrClif BIBLE STORIES ABOUT TRAPS, PITS, AND SNARES
[21:30] BrClif DaniEL and the Lion's Den (6:1-15) is a story showing how a political
[21:30] BrClif leader was trapped in his words to trap DaniEL, much to the leader's
[21:30] BrClif dismay, while verses 16-23 show how DaniEL was delivered from the trap, and
[21:30] BrClif finally in verse 24, true to the promise of the scriptures, we see that the
[21:30] BrClif trappers are trapped.
[21:31] BrClif -----------------
[21:31] BrClif The story of Yosef is a long story of traps, pits, snares, detention, and
[21:31] BrClif deliverance. Later, read from Genesis 37:18 and on to the end of the story
[21:31] BrClif of Yosef.
[21:31] BrClif ------------
[21:31] BrClif The story of David contains much to learn about traps, snares, nets, pits,
[21:31] BrClif etc. ...
[21:31] BrClif A woman can be ordered to be a snare to a tzaddik/"righteous man" that a
[21:31] BrClif certain unrighteous authority wants out of the way... That
[21:31] BrClif authority/leader/ruler will appoint that woman to be a snare to the up and
[21:32] BrClif coming Anointed One, such as was David...
[21:32] BrClif 1 Shmuel 18:21
[21:32] BrClif 21 So Shaul said: "I shall give her to him that she may serve as a
[21:32] BrClif snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may come to be
[21:32] BrClif upon him." Accordingly Shaul said to David a second time, "By [one of] the
[21:32] BrClif two
[21:32] BrClif women you will become my son-in-law today."
[21:32] BrClif This daughter of Shaul's name was Michal. Shaul decided to use her against
[21:32] BrClif David when he found out that Michal loved David. Shaul told David that he
[21:32] BrClif could marry her if he could slay 100 Philistines for him. Shaul thought
[21:33] BrClif that certainly David would die attempting such a feat. David put to death
[21:33] BrClif 200 Philistines in battle. The two married. Michal's love was true,
[21:33] BrClif however, and she wound up warning him about Shaul's intentions and helping
[21:33] BrClif him escape from death at a later occasion.
[21:33] BrClif -----------
[21:33] BrClif The FEMME FATALE TRAP is described in detail in Proverbs chapter 7. Her
[21:33] BrClif target may be like an ox going to the slaughter...
[21:33] BrClif Pr7:23
[21:34] BrClif 23 until an arrow cleaves open his liver, just as a bird hastens into the
[21:34] BrClif trap, and he has not known that it involves his very soul. . . . 27 The
[21:34] BrClif ways of Sheol/Shaul [i.e., "Greasy Grace"] are in her house, leading DOWN
[21:34] BrClif to the rooms of death.
[21:34] BrClif -----------------------
[21:34] BrClif The Femme Fatale is a favorite in use against believing men...
[21:34] BrClif Pr22:14
[21:34] BrClif 14 The mouth of strange [Torahless] women is a deep pit. The one denounced
[21:34] BrClif by
[21:34] BrClif YHWH will fall into it.
[21:34] BrClif ----------------
[21:34] BrClif Pr23:27
[21:34] BrClif 27 For a prostitute is a deep pit and a foreign [Torahless] woman is a
[21:34] BrClif narrow
[21:34] BrClif well. Surely she lies in wait, as for prey, and she increases the
[21:34] BrClif treacherous among men.
[21:35] BrClif She works for the spin-doctors, pimps, pushers, mafia dons, and power
[21:35] BrClif brokers of the world, and all of these are set at variance against the
[21:35] BrClif tzaddikim/righteous [men].
[21:35] BrClif ------------------
[21:35] BrClif If a believer accidentally sets a trap, and another believer suffers
[21:35] BrClif damages because of it, the former is to make compensation to the latter...
[21:35] BrClif Ex21:33
[21:35] BrClif 33 "And in case a man should open a pit, or in case a man should excavate a
[21:35] BrClif pit and should not cover it, and a bull or an ass does fall into it, 34 the
[21:35] BrClif owner of the pit is to make compensation. The price he is to return to its
[21:35] BrClif owner, and the dead animal will become his own.
[21:36] BrClif ---------------
[21:36] BrClif SOME CAUSES OF SNARES AND TRAPS AND AN END IN THE PIT...
[21:36] BrClif Goyim/Pagans on your land can be a snare to you...
[21:36] BrClif Ex23:33
[21:36] BrClif 33 They should not dwell in your land, that they may not cause you to sin
[21:36] BrClif against me. In case you should serve their elohim/mighty ones, it would
[21:36] BrClif become a snare to you."
[21:37] BrClif ----------------
[21:37] BrClif We can be ensnared by our own attempts to act righteously... GIDEON wanted
[21:37] BrClif to glorify YHWH with an image that he made of gold, but it wound up being a
[21:37] BrClif snare to Yisrael and to Gideon's own house...
[21:37] BrClif Jg8:27
[21:37] BrClif 27 And Gideon proceeded to make it into an ephod[image] and to exhibit it
[21:37] BrClif in his city Ophrah; and all Yisrael began to have immoral intercourse with
[21:37] BrClif it there, so that it served as a snare to Gideon and to his household.
[21:37] BrClif Indeed, the path to Sheol can be paved with good intentions. Still, better
[21:37] BrClif good intentions than bad intentions; however, to be safe, "good" must be
[21:37] BrClif discerned in the light of the example of YaHUshua and His strict
[21:37] BrClif Torah-keeping behavior...
[21:38] BrClif ---------
[21:38] BrClif Entering into a Contract/Covenant/Peace Treaty with haGoyim/Pagans can be a
[21:38] BrClif snare to you; therefore, do not be obligated to the goyim in any way...
[21:38] BrClif Ex34:12
[21:38] BrClif 12 Watch yourself that you do not conclude a covenant with the inhabitants
[21:38] BrClif of the land to which you are going, for fear it may prove itself a snare in
[21:38] BrClif your midst.
[21:38] BrClif ----------------
[21:38] BrClif Feeling sorry for/sympathizing with those who serve other mighty ones can
[21:38] BrClif be a snare to you...
[21:39] BrClif De7:16
[21:39] BrClif 16 And you must consume all the peoples whom YHWH your Elohim is giving to
[21:39] BrClif you. Your eye must not feel sorry for them; and you must not serve their
[21:39] BrClif elohim/"mighty ones", because that will be a snare to you.
[21:39] BrClif We must consume them by preaching to them the word that is able to convert
[21:39] BrClif their souls. We should spare none of them in this war. We must destroy our
[21:39] BrClif enemies by making them our friends.
[21:39] BrClif -----------
[21:39] BrClif The wicked are prone to being trapped...
[21:39] BrClif Iyov/"Job" 18:1, 5, 7-9
[21:39] BrClif 1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered [Iyov] and said, "Until when will you set
[21:39] BrClif perversion for words?... 5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out;
[21:39] BrClif and the spark of his fire shall not blaze...
[21:40] BrClif 7 the steps of his strength
[21:40] BrClif shall be hampered; and his own counsel shall tumble him. 8 For he is thrown
[21:40] BrClif into a net by his own feet; and he is walking on a snare. 9 A trap will
[21:40] BrClif seize [him] by the heel; A snare keeps hold upon him.
[21:40] BrClif 10 the noose is hid
[21:40] BrClif for him in the ground, and a trap for him on the way.
[21:40] BrClif --------------
[21:40] BrClif If we are stupid or foolish, our own mouth can ensnare us...
[21:40] BrClif Pr18:7
[21:40] BrClif 7 The mouth of the stupid one is the ruin of him, and his lips are a snare
[21:40] BrClif for his soul.
[21:41] BrClif Remember that in MattitYaHU 22:15 "...the P'rushim/Pharisees went their way
[21:41] BrClif and took counsel together in order to trap him in his speech."
[21:41] BrClif We must be "wise as serpents, and as harmless as doves," just as our Master
[21:41] BrClif YaHUshua instructed us. Failure to do so might prove to be our downfall,
[21:41] BrClif thus, it makes sense that Ya'akov/"James" instructed us to be "slow to
[21:41] BrClif speak."
[21:41] BrClif -----------------------
[21:41] BrClif A bad reputation amongst unbelievers could be a cause for a snare....
[21:41] BrClif 1Ti3:7
[21:41] BrClif 7 Moreover, he[a congregation leader] should also have a fine testimony
[21:41] BrClif from people on
[21:41] BrClif the outside, in order that he might not fall into reproach and a
[21:41] BrClif snare of the Devil.
[21:42] BrClif I don't quite understand the meaning of this verse, how there is a cause and effect
relationship there, but I will be open for comments at the end of the message.
[21:42] BrClif ------------------
[21:42] BrClif Lust for Riches and the maintenance of them can be a snare...
[21:42] BrClif 1Ti6:9
[21:42] BrClif 9 However, those who are determined to be rich FALL INTO temptation and a
[21:42] BrClif snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which PLUNGE men into
[21:42] BrClif destruction and ruin.
[21:43] BrClif -----------------
[21:43] BrClif This next verse shows that a bad leader can be a snare to the people...
[21:43] BrClif Iyov/"Job" 34:30
[21:43] BrClif 30 So that an apostate man may not reign, Nor there be snares of the
[21:43] BrClif people.
[21:43] BrClif A cause and effect relationship is here displayed. If you are under
[21:43] BrClif apostate leadership, you are setting yourself up to fall into a snare.
[21:43] BrClif --------------------
[21:43] BrClif Yisrael once became a trap and a net to Mizpah and Tabor, as we see in...
[21:43] BrClif Ho5:1
[21:43] BrClif 1 "Hear this, Oh priests, and pay attention, Oh house of Yisrael, and
[21:43] BrClif you, Oh house of the king, give ear, for with you people the judgment
[21:43] BrClif has to do; because a trap is what you have become to Mizpah and as a
[21:43] BrClif net spread over Tabor.
[21:44] BrClif Today, much as we love Yisrael, we must confess that Judaism does not
[21:44] BrClif fulfill its commission to be a light to the goyim, teaching them the Torah,
[21:44] BrClif for they tell the Goyim that they should not convert to Torah-keeping
[21:44] BrClif faith, but rather only keep the "laws of Noach." Furthermore, they teach
[21:44] BrClif the Torah wrongly to their own people, teaching them to nail a
[21:44] BrClif "mezzuzot"(scripture containing box) to the mezzuzot(doorposts), instead of
[21:45] BrClif writing the Sh'ma on the mezzuzot(doorposts), as the Torah commands. They
[21:45] BrClif also fashion clothing which is not in keeping with Torah commands, as with
[21:45] BrClif their tallitot/prayer shawls, the tzit-tziyot(tassels) of which do not
[21:45] BrClif possess a blue thread or cord...
[21:45] BrClif ------------
[21:45] BrClif Some voyeuristic trappers are of YHWH's very own people! They are even the
[21:45] BrClif leaders of His people!
[21:45] BrClif Jer5:26
[21:45] BrClif 26 "'For among my people there have been found wicked men. They
[21:45] BrClif keep peering, as when birdcatchers crouch down. They have set a
[21:45] BrClif ruinous [trap]. It is men that they catch.. . . The prophets prophesy
[21:45] BrClif falsely, and the priests bear rule by their hands; and My people love it
[21:45] BrClif so...
[21:46] BrClif -----------------
[21:46] BrClif As it was for Daniel, a trap may be set to simply get one of YHWH's people
[21:46] BrClif to stray from keeping the Torah...
[21:46] BrClif Ps119:110
[21:46] bBrClif 110 The wicked have set a trap for me,
[21:46] BrClif But from your orders I have not wandered.
[21:46] BrClif ---------------------------
[21:46] BrClif Prophets should expect to be threatened by traps.
[21:46] BrClif Ho9:8
[21:46] BrClif 8 The watchman of Ephrayim was with my Elohim. As regards a
[21:46] BrClif prophet, there is the trap of a birdcatcher on all his ways; there
[21:46] BrClif is an animosity in the house of his Elohim.
[21:47] BrClif Read the surrounding verses, also.
[21:47] BrClif ---------------
[21:47] BrClif Fear of men and their snares can also be a snare for us!
[21:47] BrClif Pr29:25
[21:47] BrClif 25 Trembling at men is what lays a snare, but he that is trusting in YHWH
[21:47] BrClif will be protected.
[21:47] BrClif ----------------
[21:47] BrClif An angry man can be another snare to your soul...
[21:47] BrClif Pr22:25
[21:47] BrClif 24 Do not feed a possessor of anger; and do not go in with a man of fury 25
[21:47] BrClif that you may not get familiar with his paths and certainly take a snare for
[21:47] BrClif your soul.
[21:48] BrClif -----------------
[21:48] BrClif Pr20:25
[21:48] BrClif 25 It is a snare when earthling man has rashly cried out, "Holy!"
[21:48] BrClif and after vows to make examination.
[21:48] BrClif This is exactly what many of us did with the false Messiah "jesus". We
[21:48] BrClif rashly cried out that "jesus" was "Holy!", and this was a snare to us,
[21:48] BrClif keeping us from the Torah, but later we had to vow to "examine" this
[21:48] BrClif "jesus" and found out for sure that this Grecianized figment of
[21:48] BrClif Churchianity's imagination has indeed proven to be a snare to us.
[21:49] BrClif ----------------------
[21:49] BrClif SHAUL A TRAP?
[21:49] BrClif The one named Shaul was a snare to the Anointed One David...
[21:49] BrClif 2 Shmuel 22:6 & Psalms 18:5
[21:49] BrClif 2 Shmuel 22:1 And David spoke to YHWH the words of this song in the day
[21:49] BrClif YHWH delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand
[21:49] BrClif of Shaul... 6 The ropes of Sheol/Shaul themselves surrounded me; The snares
[21:49] BrClif of death confronted me.
[21:49] BrClif If one removes the vowel points in the Hebrew, they will see that the word
[21:49] BrClif for the name "Shaul" in Hebrew is exactly the same as the word "Sheol,"
[21:49] BrClif which is "gravedom". There is an undeniable wordplay going on in the
[21:50] BrClif Hebrew, here, and this wordplay continues on into the post-resurrection
[21:50] BrClif era... Here, in this passage, Shaul is equated with death... Shaul was
[21:50] BrClif considered such a bad guy in the Tanakh that there was an ancient saying,
[21:50] BrClif recorded in the Tanakh, that went, "Is even Shaul among the prophets?", for
[21:50] BrClif Shaul had prophesied uncontrollably when he came to Shmuel the prophet.
[21:50] BrClif Note that modern Judaism confesses that Bilam/Balaam was the most powerful
[21:50] BrClif of the prophets, though he was false in the sense that he prophesied for
[21:50] BrClif money, so it is not unthinkable for a bad guy to be given the ability to
[21:50] BrClif prophesy by YHWH, Himself...
[21:51] BrClif Read all of 2 Shmuel 22 to see how YHWH had delivered David from those
[21:51] BrClif setting traps for him.
[21:51] BrClif ---------------
[21:51] BrClif Ps30:3
[21:51] BrClif 3 Oh YHWH, you have brought UP my soul from Sheol/Shaul itself;
[21:51] BrClif You have kept me alive, that I should not go DOWN to the pit.
[21:51] BrClif Remember, a person goes UP to Yisrael, and UP to Yerushalayim, but DOWN to
[21:51] BrClif the Diaspora/Dispersion and DOWN to the Goyim/nations. Shaul was DOWN in
[21:51] BrClif the Diaspora; Kefa/Peter was UP in Yerushalayim, along with the others of
[21:51] BrClif the Yerushalayimi Kahal/Congregation
[21:52] BrClif ------------------
[21:52] BrClif Ps16:10
[21:52] BrClif 10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol/Shaul.
[21:52] BrClif You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit.
[21:52] BrClif Here, Sheol/Shaul is equated with the pit, which is equal to death.
[21:52] BrClif ----------------------
[21:52] BrClif Sheol/Shaul=Pit/trap
[21:52] BrClif Isa14:15
[21:52] BrClif 15 "However, DOWN to Sheol/Shaul you will be brought, to the remotest
[21:52] BrClif parts of the pit.
[21:52] BrClif ---------------------
[21:52] BrClif David was hunted, as we know, but notice that he uses "they" to refer to
[21:52] BrClif his persecutors. This is considered by most to be language of paranoia;
[21:52] BrClif however, in this case, we know that he WAS hunted. David, for whatever
[21:53] BrClif reason, simply did not go into specifics...
[21:53] BrClif Ps142:3
[21:53] BrClif 3 When my spirit fainted away within me. Then you yourself knew my roadway.
[21:53] BrClif In the path in which I walk They have hidden a trap for me.
[21:53] BrClif -----------------------
[21:53] BrClif We may be hunted by self-exalted and/or self-appointed ones, just as David
[21:53] BrClif was...
[21:53] BrClif Ps140:5
[21:53] BrClif 5 The self-exalted ones have hidden a trap for me;
[21:53] BrClif And ropes they have spread out as a net at the side of the track.
[21:53] BrClif Snares they have set for me. Selah.
[21:54] BrClif -------------------------
[21:54] BrClif The Sent Out One Shaul here quotes...
[21:54] BrClif Ro11:9
[21:54] BrClif 9 Also, David says: "Let their table become for them a snare and a
[21:54] BrClif trap and a stumbling block and a retribution;
[21:54] BrClif Here, "our beloved brother Paul"(as we find Kefa/"Peter" writing in the
[21:54] BrClif questionable 2 Kefa) quotes from the Tanakh, and tells us that it is the
[21:54] BrClif Torah-keepers whose table is a snare and a trap, but if you will look at
[21:54] BrClif the verse just before it in the Tanakh, Psalms 69:21, you will see that it
[21:54] BrClif was those who gave YaHUshua vinegar to drink when He was thirsty who had a
[21:54] BrClif table that was a snare and a trap(i.e., covered with unclean "foods"). Who
[21:55] BrClif were those people? The Goyim! NOT the Yisraelim! An examination of Lukas
[21:55] BrClif will show that one of the "soldier"s present was a "centurion", making him
[21:55] BrClif a Roman, and thus, a GOY! It is the table of the GOYIM which is a trap and
[21:55] BrClif a snare, NOT the table of the Torah-keeping Yisraeli! To Sheol with Shaul!
[21:55] BrClif --------------------
[21:55] BrClif Isa38:18
[21:55] BrClif 18 For it is not Sheol/Shaul that can laud you; death itself cannot
[21:55] BrClif praise you. Those going DOWN to the pit cannot look hopefully to your
[21:55] BrClif trueness. 19 The living, the living--he is praising You, as I do this day.
[21:55] BrClif A father makes known your truth to his children.
[21:56] BrClif We see that "those going DOWN to the pit" do not know YHWH's trueness, nor
[21:56] BrClif are taught His truth.
[21:56] BrClif --------------------
[21:56] BrClif Ps38:12(-22)
[21:56] BrClif 12 But those seeking my soul lay out traps,
[21:56] BrClif And those working for a calamity to me have spoken of adversities,
[21:56] BrClif And deceptions they keep muttering all day long.
[21:56] BrClif The trappers will lay traps, have an evil intent, and employ misinformation
[21:56] BrClif and disinformation in their war against their righteous target. They may
[21:56] BrClif even offer fellow believers the "proof" that HE/SHE is a trapper. Or, they
[21:57] BrClif may just nonchalantly dismiss the target's claims as the product of an
[21:57] BrClif addled brain, discrediting him/her amongst those who might stand in a
[21:57] BrClif position to help him/her.A person may seem paranoid, who is having traps
[21:57] BrClif laid against him, but he will be living a reality that others cannot see,
[21:57] BrClif except, of course, for the trappers themselves and those with them.
[21:57] BrClif --------------
[21:57] BrClif GETTING PROTECTION FROM TRAPS
[21:57] BrClif Here is the HOW TO of getting delivered from the traps laid by others...
[21:57] BrClif Ps28:1
[21:57] BrClif 1 To you, Oh YHWH, I keep calling. Oh my Rock, do not be deaf to me, That
[21:57] BrClif you may not keep still toward me And I do not have to become like those
[21:57] BrClif going down to the pit.
[21:58] BrClif -------------------
[21:58] BrClif Our enemies should have no justification for trapping us, just as they had
[21:58] BrClif no justification for attempting to entrap David...
[21:58] BrClif Ps35:7
[21:58] BrClif 7 For without cause they have hid for me their netted pit;
[21:58] BrClif Without cause they have dug it for my soul.
[21:58] BrClif BTW, Psalms 35 is a prayer against enemies who are trying to entrap. Psalms
[21:58] BrClif 40 is another prayer of this sort. Especially see verse 2 in that one.
[21:58] BrClif ----------------
[21:58] BrClif Here is a prayer against the wicked, requesting that Elohim permit the
[21:58] BrClif lender to lay out traps for all that the wicked person has...
[21:59] BrClif Ps109:11
[21:59] BrClif 11 Let the usurer lay out traps for all that he has,
[21:59] BrClif And let strangers make plunder of his product of toil.
[21:59] BrClif ----------------------------
[21:59] BrClif A Prayer for protection from traps...
[21:59] BrClif Ps141:9
[21:59] BrClif 9 Keep me from the clutches of the trap that they have laid for me
[21:59] BrClif And from the snares of those practicing what is hurtful.
[21:59] BrClif -------------------------
[21:59] BrClif SNARE PROTECTION
[21:59] BrClif The Torah can be part of our SNARE PROTECTION, since it turns a person away
[21:59] BrClif from snares
[21:59] BrClif Pr13:14
[21:59] BrClif 14 The Torah of the wise one is a source of life, to turn one away from the
[21:59] BrClif snares of death.
[22:00] BrClif Pr14:27
[22:00] BrClif 27 The fear of YHWH[equivalent to "Torah-keeping"] is a well of life [NOT a
[22:00] BrClif "pit of death"], to turn away from the snares of death.
[22:00] BrClif ---------------------
[22:00] BrClif YHWH protects His people from destruction by teaching them the Torah.
[22:00] BrClif Ps94:12,13
[22:00] BrClif 12 Blessed is the man you chasten, Oh YHWH, You teach him out of your Torah
[22:00] BrClif 13 To give him rest from days of calamity, Until FOR THE WICKED ONE a pit
[22:00] BrClif is excavated.
[22:00] BrClif ----------------
[22:00] BrClif YHWH turns us away from the pit.
[22:00] BrClif In Iyov/"Job" 33:13-30, which you can read later, you will see that YHWH
[22:00] BrClif may turn a man away from the pit
[22:01] BrClif ----------------
[22:01] BrClif Even though YHWH will protect us from traps, caution is warranted...
[22:01] BrClif Pr22:5
[22:01] BrClif 5 Thorns [and] traps are in the way of the crooked one; he that is
[22:01] BrClif guarding his soul keeps far away from them.
[22:01] BrClif ---------------
[22:01] BrClif YHWH WILL WITHDRAW HIS PROTECTION
[22:01] BrClif YHWH will remove his protection and permit the Goyim to be a snare to us
[22:01] BrClif if...BrClif YaHUshua/"Joshua" 23:9-13
[22:02] BrClif 9 And YHWH has expelled from you great and mighty goyim/nations... 10 One
[22:02] BrClif man of you shall pursue a thousand, for YHWH Elohaychem is He who is
[22:02] BrClif fighting for you, as He has spoken to you. 11 And you shall be very
[22:02] BrClif watchful for yourselves to love YHWH Elohaychem("your Elohim"). 12 But if
[22:02] BrClif you at all turn away and cling to the remnant of the goyim/nations, of
[22:02] BrClif those who are left to you, and intermarry with them, and go in to them, and
[22:02] BrClif they to you, 13 YOU should positively know that YHWH your Elohim will not
[22:02] BrClif continue to dispossess these goyim/nations on your account; and they must
[22:03] BrClif become to you as a trap and as a snare and as a scourge on your
[22:03] BrClif flanks and as thorns in your eyes until you have perished off this good
[22:03] BrClif ground that YHWH your Elohim has given you.
[22:03] BrClif Shades of Kefa/Peter quoting, "Be separate; be holy."
[22:03] BrClif --------
[22:03] BrClif Again, we see that YHWH will remove His protection against traps, pits, and
[22:03] BrClif snares of the Goyim, if...
[22:03] BrClif Jg2:1-3
[22:03] BrClif 1 And the Malach-YHWH came up from Gilgal to The Place of Weeping, and
[22:03] BrClif said, "I caused you to come up out of Mitzrayim/Egypt, and brought you into
[22:04] BrClif the land which I had sworn to your fathers and said, 'I shall not break My
[22:04] BrClif covenant with you FOREVER.' 2 And you, you shall cut no covenant [make no
[22:04] BrClif peace treaties] with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down
[22:04] BrClif their altars. [Not only avoid ecumenicalism and interfaith efforts, but
[22:04] BrClif also make spiritual war with false religion, to the end of tearing it
[22:04] BrClif down.] Yet you have not listened to My voice. What is this you have done? 3
[22:04] BrClif So I, in turn, have said, 'I shall not drive them away from before you, and
[22:04] BrClif they must become snares to you, and their elohim/"mighty ones" will serve
[22:04] BrClif as a lure to you.'"
[22:05] BrClif -----------
[22:05] BrClif In Psalms 106:6-48, what appears to be a summarized history of Yisrael's
[22:05] BrClif trangressions against YHWH, we see that Yisrael's failure to exterminate
[22:05] BrClif the Goyim and destroy their elohim became a snare for them, just as YHWH
[22:05] BrClif said it would...
[22:05] BrClif Ps106:36
[22:05] BrClif 36 And they kept serving their elohim/idols,
[22:05] BrClif And these came to be a snare to them.
[22:05] BrClif -------------------
[22:05] BrClif You will have new parents if you are successfully entrapped to the point of
[22:05] BrClif death...
[22:06] BrClif Iyov/"Job" 17:14
[22:06] BrClif 13 If I wait for Sheol/Shaul as my house; I have spread out my bed in the
[22:06] BrClif darkness 14 To the pit(corruption) I shall have to say, 'You are my
[22:06] BrClif father!' To the maggot, 'My mother and my sister!'
[22:06] BrClif ---------------------------
[22:06] BrClif IF WE DO GET TRAPPED, YHWH CAN DELIVER US...
[22:06] BrClif Psalms 124:1-8 is a Psalm describing how YHWH will deliver us from a trap.
[22:06] BrClif ---------------------------
[22:06] BrClif A method for delivering others out of a snare...
[22:06] BrClif 2Ti2:24-26
[22:06] BrClif 24 But a slave of YHWH ought not to quarrel, but to be gentle towards all,
[22:06] BrClif apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness teaching those who have opposed, if
[22:07] BrClif perhaps Elohim may give them repentance for a full knowledge of the truth
[22:07] BrClif 26 and they may come back to their proper senses out from the snare of the
[22:07] BrClif Devil, seeing that they have been caught alive by him for the will of that
[22:07] BrClif one.
[22:07] BrClif -----------------
[22:07] BrClif It is fitting and acceptable to deliver a wayward/prodigal person from the
[22:07] BrClif pit on Shabbat, as YaHUshua has taught us. . .
[22:07] BrClif MattitYaHU 12:11
[22:07] BrClif 11 He said to them: "Who will be the man among you that has one
[22:07] BrClif SHEEP and, if this FALLS into a PIT on the sabbath, will not get
[22:07] BrClif hold of it and lift it out?
[22:08] BrClif ---------------
[22:08] BrClif A false religious leader is a trap setter, and cannot be a deliverer from
[22:08] BrClif the trap, as our Master YaHUshua taught. . . "He who does not gather with
[22:08] BrClif me, scatters."
[22:08] BrClif MattitYaHU 15:14
[22:08] BrClif 14 LET them [the false religion leaders] be. Blind guides is what they are.
[22:08] BrClif If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."
[22:08] BrClif Lu6:39
[22:08] BrClif 39 Then he also spoke an illustration to them: "A blind man cannot guide a
[22:08] BrClif blind man, can he? Both will tumble into a pit, will they not?
[22:08] BrClif ------------
[22:08] BrClif YHWH DELIVERS FROM TRAPS, PITS, AND SNARES
[22:08] BrClif We can be rescued from the pit by YHWH's forgiveness and possess Shalom...
[22:09] BrClif Isa38:17
[22:09] BrClif 17 Look! For shalom was bitter to me, yes, bitter; And you yourself have
[22:09] BrClif become attached to my soul [and kept it] from the pit of disintegration.
[22:09] BrClif For you have thrown behind your back all my sins.
[22:09] BrClif -------------------

[22:12] BrClif ---------------------
[22:12] BrClif YHWH has snared and trapped His people for a very good reason...
[22:12] BrClif Isa42:22-25
[22:12] BrClif 22 But it is a people plundered and pillaged, all of them being trapped in
[22:12] BrClif holes, and in the houses of detention they have been kept hidden. They have
[22:13] BrClif come to be for plunder without a deliverer, for pillage without anyone to say: "Bring
back!" 23 Who among you will hear
[22:13] BrClif this, will listen and hear for the time to come? 24 Who gave Ya'akov to the
[22:13] BrClif plunderer, and Yisrael to the robbers? Did not YHWH? he against whom we
[22:13] BrClif have sinned? For they willed not to walk in His ways, and they did not obey
[22:13] BrClif His Torah. 25 Therefore He has poured on him [Yisrael] the fury of His
[22:13] BrClif anger, and the strength of battle; and it has set him on fire all around,
[22:13] BrClif yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not lay it on his heart.
[22:14] BrClif -------------------------
[22:14] BrClif YHWH will heal His people Yisrael from their having fallen into the pit.
[22:14] BrClif Ps107:20
[22:14] BrClif 20 He proceeded to send his word(the Son?) and heal them
[22:14] BrClif And to provide [them] escape out of their pits.
[22:14] BrClif ---------------------------
[22:14] BrClif YHWH engages Himself in trapping the wicked...
[22:14] BrClif Ps11:6
[22:14] BrClif 6 He will rain down upon the wicked ones traps, fire and sulphur
[22:14] BrClif And a scorching wind, as the portion of their cup.

[22:14] BrClif YHWH CAUSES TRAPPERS TO FALL INTO A TRAP, PIT, OR SNARE...
[22:14] BrClif YHWH lets our enemies fall into a pit...
[22:14] `Watchman SisAnca: Netsplit
[22:15] BrClif Genesis 14:10
[22:15] BrClif 10 Now the Low Plain of Siddim was pits upon pits of bitumen; and the kings
[22:15] BrClif of S'dom and Amorrah took to flight and went falling into them, and those
[22:15] BrClif who remained fled to the mountainous region.
[22:15] BrClif Ps7:15 (see 11-16)
[22:15] BrClif 15 A pit he has excavated, and he proceeded to dig it; But he will fall
[22:15] BrClif into the hole [that] he went making.
[22:16] BrClif The trapper will be trapped, in other words...
[22:16] BrClif ---------------------------
[22:16] BrClif The Goyim/nations have spread out a net for the YHWH's Torah-keepers and
[22:16] BrClif HaShem-ers...
[22:16] BrClif Ps9:15
[22:16] BrClif [Tehth]
[22:16] BrClif 15 The Goyim/nations have sunk down into the pit that they have made;
[22:16] BrClif In the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
[22:17] BrClif The Goyim are caught in the Torah violations caused by the traps they have
[22:17] BrClif set for YHWH's people.
[22:17] BrClif ---------------------------
[22:17] BrClif Trappers do not believe that YHWH sees the traps, or that there is even
[22:17] BrClif anyone to see them, so they set and set away... not knowing that He will
[22:17] BrClif return fire.
[22:17] BrClif Ps64:5
[22:17] BrClif 5 They make themselves strong in an evil plan; They make statements about
[22:17] BrClif hiding traps. They have said: "Who sees them?" 6 They search into injustice
[22:17] BrClif saying, "We have finished a well-laid plan.... 7 But Elohim shall shoot an
[22:17] BrClif arrow at them; their wounds shall suddenly appear."
[22:17] BrClif -------------------
[22:17] BrClif YHWH will conquer our trappers for us...
[22:17] BrClif Ps55:23
[22:17] BrClif 23 But you yourself, Oh Elohim, will bring them down to the lowest pit. As
[22:17] BrClif for [those] bloodguilty and deceitful men, they will not live out half
[22:17] BrClif their days. But as for me, I shall trust in you.
[22:18] BrClif --------------------
[22:18] BrClif The trapper whose tongue works deceit will find that...
[22:18] BrClif Pr26:27
[22:18] BrClif 27 He that is excavating a pit will fall into the same, and he that is
[22:18] BrClif rolling away a stone--back [on]to him it will return.
[22:18] BrClif Pr28:10
[22:18] BrClif 10 He that is causing the upright ones to go astray into the bad way will
[22:18] BrClif himself fall into his own pit, but the faultless ones themselves will come
[22:18] BrClif into possession of good.
[22:18] BrClif Ec10:8
[22:18] BrClif 8 He that is digging a pit will himself fall right into it; and he that is
[22:18] BrClif breaking through a stone wall, a serpent will bite him.
[22:19] BrClif Shaul was the pioneer in breaking through the wall of partition. Did a
[22:19] BrClif serpent bite him?
[22:19] BrClif -----------------
[22:19] BrClif The presence of YHWH's people can be a snare unto death to the
[22:19] BrClif goyim/nations...?
[22:19] BrClif Ex10:7
[22:19] BrClif 7 After that Pharaoh's servants said to him: "How long will this man
[22:19] BrClif [Mosheh] prove to be as a snare to us? Send the men away that they may
[22:19] BrClif serve YHWH their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitzrayim/Egypt has
[22:19] BrClif perished?"
[22:20] BrClif ---------------
[22:20] BrClif YHWH will lay a trap for Babel("Babylon")! Hallelu-YaH!
[22:20] BrClif Jer50:18+ (but esp. 24)
[22:20] BrClif -----------------
[22:20] BrClif In the following passage, we have depicted for us the Last Days destruction
[22:20] BrClif from YHWH...
[22:20] BrClif Isa24:17,18 & YirmeYaHU 48:43,44
[22:20] BrClif 17 DREAD and the HOLLOW and the TRAP are upon you, you inhabitant
[22:20] BrClif of the land. 18 And it must occur that anyone fleeing from the sound of the
[22:20] BrClif DREADed thing will fall into the HOLLOW, and anyone coming up from
[22:20] BrClif inside the hollow will be caught in the TRAP. For the very
[22:20] BrClif floodgates on high will actually be opened, and the foundations of
[22:20] BrClif the land will rock.
[22:21] BrClif Sounds like their will be NO getting away from the trap that YHWH will lay
[22:21] BrClif for those whom He will destroy!
[22:21] BrClif ---------------------
[22:22] BrClif In my study of this subject, the theme that seemed to be running through the scriptures,
is that even though unbelievers may set traps, pits, and snares for us, YHWH is in control, and He will
repay.

EliYah Amazing how much Scripture had to say about traps/snares!
[22:22] Qumran_Bet The floor is now open for comments...
[22:23] Qumran_Bet Yes, there is more that I did not exhaust about nets, prisons, jail, jailers, etc.
[22:23] Qumran_Bet I found that YHWH's people seem to live in a state of being entrapped or under
the threat of being entrapped...
[22:24] BroDavid Interesting how the end-time toy and promulgator of commerece and filth is the Inter

[22:24] Qumran_Bet But YHWH always manages to make the thing turn around to His Glory and the

[22:24] Qumran_Bet Yes. : )

[22:24] Qumran_Bet Yes.

EliYah BrClif, do you believe any of Paul's writings are inspired by Yahweh?
[22:25] BroDavid even the same SHAPE! (tube)
[22:25] Qumran_Bet "Y'shua said that many will come in His Name, and it is by doing His will that we

[22:30] Qumran_Bet "Sheol, Sheol(Shaul, Shaul), why are you persecuting me..."
[22:31] Qumran_Bet If you want to be more fully indoctrinated on Shaul, then we can set aside a time...
[22:31] Qumran_Bet permitting me to amass the evidence against him.
[22:31] Tamar4 declines invitation
[22:31] Qumran_Bet I don't need Shaul to be saved.
[22:31] BroDavid He it was who said that while we were yet sinners, Yahshua died for us!
EliYah Perhaps we can do that sometime, BrClif
[22:31] Qumran_Bet Do you need Shaul for you Salvation(Y'shuah?)?
[22:31] Qumran_Bet Gee, I thought the Gospels made that clear...
[22:32] shakana You do not need any man.......
[22:32] BroDavid NEED? indeed, no. Yahshua is sufficient. The believers in China have not even the
Torah!
[22:32] shakana to be saved
[22:32] Qumran_Bet Yes, which is why the believers in China may still be in a pit.
[22:32] shakana but the Word was written down by inspired men of God.
[22:32] Qumran_Bet They are the fruit of the Pauline schism..
[22:32] Tamar4 Paul tells us he is not ashamed of the gospel of salvation..
[22:33] Qumran_Bet Shakana, IF it is the Word!
[22:33] * BroDavid believes with all his heart that some of them will shine much brighter than WE will in
the world to come! The very mention of one's bleief brings imprisonment and death
[22:33] Qumran_Bet Of course not, nor is Jim Bakker, or Jimmy Swaggart...
[22:33] shakana You deny some books and not others?
[22:33] Tamar4 Paul is often misquoted and misunderstood..but I do not believe he is a false prophet.
[22:33] Qumran_Bet "Where there is ignorance of the Torah, there is no transgression"
[22:33] Qumran_Bet This study was about traps, pits, and snares...
[22:34] BroDavid Paul was more scyhoole din Torah than any of us, I might add
[22:34] Qumran_Bet You have not seen what I have seen, my Sis.
[22:34] Qumran_Bet Which made him a perfect Jesuit for Judaism.
[22:34] BroDavid "and the eyes of both of them were opened...." (gen. 3)
[22:34] Tamar4 may not be a scholar, but does believe the entire word to be the inspired word
[22:34] shakana Amen
[22:35] Qumran_Bet When I was a child, I did childish things...but when I became a man, I put away
childish things."
[22:35] Qumran_Bet To quote Shaul.
EliYah Brethren, it is getting later...perhaps we should close?
[22:35] BroDavid yes, my dear brother :)
