Our Love For Elohiym

  This study began with a sleepless night interrupted by a few dreams.  In one dream I was moving along a road and I noticed a young blonde Amish woman with her hair down but  pulled back behind her.  She had on a green dress at their worship service. 

  What is interesting is that when I got back to this study many days later, on the previous day I was outside with my neighbor.  This is when I noticed an Amish family coming up the road.  Simultaneously I waved and an Amish young lady waved also.  Then they all waved.  I'm saying this because it's interesting that the Holy Spirit is working in the unseen and the physical world we live in.  The friendly wave is seen as normal between the different lifestyles.  Without the love for Yahuah Elohiym, this would be much different.  

  Next in my  dream I was in a church parking lot.  People was showing up for church.  Having chosen to drive away, I found myself in the church.  Facing the front.  Many people already were sitting to my right.  This was on the speaker's left.  Everyone else was called to join them on the speaker's left.  Things changed and the building was gone and everyone was outside.  A few folding chairs were available.  Those who were sitting to the speaker's left was still setting on the speaker's left outside.  This is when I let a little girl have the new looking folding chair.   I took the scarred up one for myself.  This is when the dream ended. 

  It's also when Yahuah Elohiym said to me, the most important one to me is the young blonde Amish woman.  I felt that the little girl was the same as the young Amish woman.  This is also when I understood that our love for Elohiym is like a flame.   Yahuah Elohiym wants a flame that is pure with the correct spiritual scent.  It's not because of age or sex, it's all about innocence and pure at heart.

  Remembering my Amish neighbors, this young Amish lady that waved, I feel that she has a pure heart.  

  Amish women keep their hair up in public.  It is the youngest girls and unmarried women that sit toward the back of the women's section.  This  will be of importance later.

  Next stop is the study of  1 Corinthians 11. We must sort out what is traditional, what is Biblical and what Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ wants in the Church who loves Him.   It is the  Church that is like a bride to Him.  

  Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.  But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

  It was the Apostle Paul that wrote 1 Corinthians 11 around 55–56 C.E.  while in Ephesus.  The Corinthians had been worshiping Aphrodite and Apollo.  Aphrodite was the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation.   Remembering my church experience, Aphrodite is still in the church.  But love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation is never friendly when people have replaced the Holy Spirit with it.

  Apollo is the god of light, music, prophecy, and healing.  He is also in the church today.  False light leads people away from Biblical Truth.  Music like Jingle Bells replaced Away in a Manger.  By the  church guiding us with false spiritual light, false prophecy and healing by psychologist who do not  know Yahusha as Savior, this places Apollo as Lord. This is what the Apostle Paul was saying when he said, be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

  Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, shames his head.

  I quote, "A man with a covered head was seen as dishonoring Christ by appearing to be under the authority of another man or woman."

   This is to say to men, when praying to Yahuah Elohiym, you are no longer under the authority or have the authority that your hat signifies.

  But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

  I quote, "In Corinth, uncovered hair on a woman could signify promiscuity or rebellion; the covering was a sign of modesty, respectability, and being "taken" or married."

  Today women don't need to cover their heads.  But she must continue to be modest, respectable, and show she is "taken" or married."

  The woman who has authority must also place her Authority to the side in prayer or worshiping Yahuah Elohiym.  But must also must pray and worship as a married woman.  

  For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut short. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut short or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

  Today liberal women are seen with short hair.  With this comes rude behavior and is a sign of the collapse of social standards.  Women in church also keep their hair to short and used chemicals to make it curly as a fad.  

  Remember my dream of the Amish woman with long blonde hair.  If she was real, she would still be keeping some traditional expectations but not all of them.  The community she lives in would not agree with long flowing hair especially in public.  We must discern the social environment we live in. If her hair is a distraction in her community during worship, perhaps she should pull it up.  But to Yahusha, her long flowing hair is what He created and He finds it good.

  The question is, does she pray in secret with her hair down and covered?  But by having her hair up, she is bound to the Amish community.  But she does no wrong with her hair up and covered while they worship.  It's a matter of the heart.

  For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man.  For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man.  For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.  Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 

  It is these few verses that people in authority twist for their own prejudice.  Some churches believe that all women should be under the authority of every man at the church.  This is not what Paul was saying.   By taking away the authority of the husband and giving it to another man elected by people is an abomination.  These verses are saying that all men must be in authority over his family.  

  Men must not let the church authority flow through him to control his family, but he must let the Authority of Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ to have authority over him.  

  A woman is not called to have Authority over her husband.  A man without authority is no longer a man.  If he places another authority over his family, he looses his wife, his helper.  This is what Eve did in the Garden of Eden.  She stood before the Reptilian, not heeding the Authority of Adam.  She  quoted Adam but submitted to the Reptilian Heylel BenSahar, the rebellious Cherub.  

   Nevertheless, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.  For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman, but all things originate from God.

  Men and women are interdependent.  But all things orginate from Yahuah Elohiym.  This is to say men and women are dependent on Yahuah Elohiym.  What is interesting is the two questions given by Paul.  

  Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

  A woman's hair is between the woman and Yahuah Elohiym only.  That is my answer.  However if her hair is a distraction to weak believers, she should cover it.  I feel that Yahuah Elohiym wants the woman to go before Him remembering her husband in prayer.  

  Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?  

  A man having short hair is cleaner and safer in work and war.  It's also a sign of discipline.  Long hair is associated with higher political status or femininity in men.  King David's son's hair got caught in a tree branch and broke his neck.  He was in conflict with King David.  The next verse explains a woman's hair.  But first I must highlight, "but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her".  In other words, Yahuah Elohiym is pleased with a woman embracing her femininity.  

  For her hair is given to her for a covering.  But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

  In other words, if there is heated disagreement in the church, there is no church.  I have met people who are quarrelsome or argumentative and think it's humorous to see people become defensive for their beliefs.  One of these so called Christians also messed with my truck and acted as if he was a Christian.  That is off subject, but a person's actions reflect compassion or wickedness, nothing in between.  If we love Yahuah Elohiym, we should act like it and also not change what Yahuah Elohiym likes and chooses for us. I believe Yahuah Elohiym likes long blonde hair on a woman.  

  But what does this have to do about our love for Yahuah Elohiym?  The beautiful thing about the Amish community is that they are a community.  They have community structure.  In places like New York City, the structure has been replaced with lawlessness.  Everything is corrupted from the choice of leadership to the choice of the homeless people.  In a community there is compassion and the law.   In a lawless city, there is no compassion, the police budget reduced, the money spent foolishly. Our love is to say structure and compassion that is seen by Yahuah Elohiym as good.  

The Lord’s Supper

  But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.  For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you, and in part I believe it.  For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

  I quote, "in ancient Greece, communal meals and feasts were a central part of worshipping Apollo, often occurring after animal sacrifices. These meals served to bridge the gap between humans and the gods, with participants sharing in the meat of the animal that was not burned for the deity."

  I quote, "people incorporate meals, feasts, and specific food offerings into the worship of Aphrodite in the ancient Greco-Roman world, often as a form of shared communion with the goddess. These acts ranged from formal temple rituals to personal devotion."

  I believe this early church had blended their traditions into the Lord's Supper.  

  

  Therefore when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk.  For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? 

  I can imagine the Corinthians making the Lord's Supper into a holiday where people get drunk and over eat.   Today we don't do it in communion, but we made false holidays in honor of Yahusha and do the same thing.  

  Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing?  What shall I say to you?  Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.  For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was being betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you.  Do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes. 

  Simply said, the Lord's Supper is not a feast.  It was unleavened bread and wine.  Traditional expectations have also polluted the practice today. 

 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.  But a man must test himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.  For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.  For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.  But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.  But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.  So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.  If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment.  The remaining matters I will direct when I come.

  The point I want to make is test yourselves.  It's not the Priest that should test you or refuse you.  It's between you and Yahuah Elohiym.  The disciples didn't form a line and walk up to Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ, Yahusha broke the bread and passed the cup. He also was known to wash feet like a servant would. But what is more important is to notice the results of not doing the Lord's Supper correctly.  Weakness, sickness and a lack of energy in the church points towards the separation between Yahusha and the Church.  When  was the  last community outreach?

  Spiritual complacency, neglecting spiritual disciplines and letting worldly values infiltrate the church is loosing your first love as a church.  This  will manifest as apathy, division, or a reliance on human effort rather than the power of the Holy Spirit.  

  Next stop is 1 Corinthians 13

  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

  The concept of Love is probably the most polluted word in the English language.  If you don't understand the message when people say love, you don't understand the text it was written in.  

  The KJV uses the word charity.  But this word also can be confusing.  Giving is charity.  So how can you do charity and no have charity?  The Greek word for love or charity is  agapē.  (ag-ah'-pay)

  Agapē is a feminine noun meaning affection or benevolence.  It's selfless affection without being sexual.  

  Love is patient, love is kind, is not jealous, does not brag, is not puffed up;  it does not act unbecomingly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered;  it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;  it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 

  There is nothing to interpret here.  But, the question to ask yourself is, do you find this in your church or in your own life?  Or are you the nasty old granny who once was the eye candy with a sarcastic attitude? 

   Love never fails, but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

  The question is, what does this have to do with our love for Yahuah Elohiym?  It's saying we have partial gifts of prophecy, tongues and  knowledge.  This is because we are not perfect.   It's simple math.  Let's say our human ability score of 1 is perfect.  Anything less than one is not perfect.  Let's say getting a 100 is perfect knowledge.  1x100 is 100.  You cannot become greater than the master who is Yahusha Hamashia.  Being imperfect of .60 is .60x100=60.  That means you only have 60 percent of knowledge correct.  40 percent is flawed or unknown.  But love never fails.  Love is always a whole, not a percentage.  Instead of having a gift of knowledge in a faulty vessel, we will be knowledge, be a prophet or be able to know all languages after we are caught up into Heaven to be with Yahusha Hamashia.  

  When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man, I did away with childish things.  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.  Now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.  But now abide faith, hope, love—these three; but the greatest of these is love.

  These verses explain the verses preceding them.  When we are caught up into Heaven, our abilities will have greatly improved to the point of perfection.  For those who do not love Yahusha Hamashia, they are not going to be caught up into Heaven.  They may be good at prophecy, knowledge and speaking other languages, but they will not set foot in Heaven.  There will be no illegal entry into Heaven.  

  This is where I took a break not knowing what the next part of this study was going to be.  After two minutes it came to me.  Yahuah Elohiym had me.   It is about going to church and not finding true compassion.  Yes there are churches that include all walks of life.  The demonstrate this by placing six color rainbows outside as their banner.   Yahuah Elohiym made 7 color rainbows, ROYGBIV.

  The question is, what is the difference between compassion and inclusion?  

  Yahusha Hamashia's people are a chosen people who are holy and dearly loved, having clothed ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  

  Inclusion is dismantling barriers.  In other words, inclusion destroys the fact of being set apart as in holiness.  Inclusion is embracing differences as in embracing the knowledge of good and evil.  Inclusion is not knowing the difference between Holiness and Depravity.  Inclusion is ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute to religion.   The church of inclusion is the prostitute church that rides the beast in the book of Revelation.  The church of inclusion will be replaced with Antichrist and the False Prophet.  

  So do you include Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ in your life or do you have passion for Yahusha Hamashia?  Having a passion for Yahusha Hamashia is sometimes called is having an  overwhelming emotion for Him.  But is it really an overwhelming emotion?  Emotions are fear, anger, joy, sadness, disgust, and surprise.  A passion for Yahusha Hamashia is Love.  Joy is a one-way street.  Joy is how it makes me feel.  Having a passion is placing yourself into what you love.  

  Having a passion for Yahusha Hamashia is like quantum entanglement of the soul.  What effects you effected Him.  What effected Yahusha Hamashia effects you.  Yahusha Hamashia was a prophet and is still a prophet and always will be a prophet.  When he was on the cross being the lamb of Elohiym, a sacrifice for our sins, He knew us in the future.  If you focus your thoughts to Him while He was on that cross, what do you say to Him?  Or do you run and hide like the disciples from that thought?  Mary Magdalene is my distant grandmother.   Her passion made her fearless.  She was by His side along with the Virgin Mary.  I would echo the words that was said that day, Remember me Yahusha and express my repentance.

  The question is, if we love Yahuah Elohiym,  are we the Church of Yahusha or are we the Church for Yahusha? 

Example: "The disciples of the Yahusha are broken" (Possession)

Example: "This cup of bitter suffering"

(Composition).

Example: ""And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like the sound of loud thunder (Revelation 14:2). (Origin).

Example: Our obedience, our time, our talents is for Yahusha.  (Recipient).

Example: "Yahusha's Death and Resurrection is for our Salvation (Purpose).

Example: "We are going to be a missionary for Yahusha" (Intent). 

  The point being, if we divide or change the complexity of what our relationship is with Yahuah Elohiym, we no longer are for Elohiym or of Elohiym.  If we distract ourselves with other things before Yahuah Elohiym, our intent, our purpose, our recipient, our origin, our composition and who possess us changes.  

  And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment.  And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’. On these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40

The Warrior Women of Yahusha Hamashia

  In the title of this study has probably angered many people of different religions including Christianity.  Perhaps we should answer a question.  Why should a wife, or the followers of Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ submit to her husband?  Why shouldn't a wife or church take the lead, cutting out her husband?  Why does religion or traditional expectations think women should be weak and submissive?  Let's move on and see what the Bible says. 

  Then Yahuah Elohiym said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." And out of the ground Yahuah Elohiym had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and He brought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.  And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.  Genesis 2:18-20

  The underlined word helper is the Hebrew word ʿēzer.  It occurs 22 times in 21 verses in the WLC Hebrew.  The point being is that Yahuah Elohiym built a female and her job was for her to be ʿēzer that happens to be a masculine noun in the verses above.  The question is, what is the definition of ʿēzer?  

  Some men are angry at the thought of a Warrior Women because it is threatening to their weak masculinity.  If we look at other verses, we will find out who Eve was before she listened to a rebellious masculine Cherub and not Her husband.   

Exodus 18:4---And the other was named Eliezer, for he said, “The God of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”

  

 Here we see that Yahuah Elohiym was ʿēzer  to to Moses as stated by Moses' son Eliezer.  This isn't saying that Eve was God to Adam.  It's saying that Yahuah Elohiym was a helper to Moses.  Eve performed the same task as Yahuah Elohiym did for  Moses.  Eve was a helper for Adam.  We should be a helper for Yahusha Hamashia.  When Eve listened to Heylel BenSahar the wicked Cherub in the body of a serpent, she not only rejected Yahuah Elohiym, she  also rejected Adam also for a deceptive reptilian.  

Deuteronomy 33:26--There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your help, and through the skies in His majesty.

  Jeshurun is to say the"upright one".  It's a symbolic name for Israel describing the ideal character.  Once again we see Yahuah Elohiym being a helper to Israel the nation including all the tribes and not just Judah. The  question is, what is the ideal character for a woman or the church?  

Psalm 33:20---Our soul is patient for Yahuah; He is our help and our shield.

  Here we see shield attached to our help.   In Ephesians we see the shield of Faith.  The Warrior Women of Yahusha Hamashia is becoming more clear by association.  The women of Elohiym should have full spiritual armor on.  Not once the Bible said for a person to be submissive eye candy puffing up the egos of wicked leaders.  

Psalm 70:5---But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God!  You are my help and my protector; O Yahuah, do not delay.

  Again by association, the Warrior woman of Yahuah Elohiym would go to the afflicted and be their helper and protector.  Protector is to say to bring security and safety.  In other words, she doesn't need the counsel of leadership for her to take action.  

  On this next verse things are turned around some.  

Ezekiel 12:14---And I will scatter to every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops; and I will draw out a sword after them.

  Helpers is attached to troops.  Troops is to say divisions of the military.  This verse is saying that Yahuah Elohiym will scatter Judah and Judah's helpers .  This is when Judah went into captivity under Babylon.  What  we can learn from this is that there are times when the helper cannot help because of wickedness like Judah had that lead them into captivity.  What is interesting is that King Zedekiah's daughter became High Queen and brought Ireland to a prosperous nation.  

Hosea 9:16---It is your ruin, O Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.

  This is when the Northern 10 tribes of Israel rebelled against Yahuah Elohiym by worshiping other gods.  What we can associate with this is that if the husband finds other women, it is his ruin by being against his helper.  We must remember that the Christian Woman of Faith is not weak, she is a Warrior.

  Next we take a look at what the Bible speaks about the perfect woman.  But we will keep in mind that she is a spiritual warrior.  

Proverbs 31:10-31---How hard it is to find the perfect wife?  She is worth far more than jewels.

  To find a perfect woman is impossible.  Satan's corruption contaminated everyone.  However Elohiym reconditions people.  

  Her husband depends on her.  He will never be poor.  She does good for her husband all her life.  She never causes him trouble.  She is always gathering wool and flax and enjoys making things with her hands.

  Notice that this verse indicates her value to her husband.  His Warrior Wife can be counted on to perform well or fulfill her obligations. She is stable and and has the ability to provide necessary support without failing.  She is good with money and never is a burden to him.  She is a creative homemaker in home management.  

She is like a ship from a faraway place.  She brings home food from everywhere.  She wakes up early in the morning, cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share.

  The Warrior Wife is a merchant.  She is wise in purchasing and selling.  She prepares food for her family and servants.  Today most women don't have servants.   But it is interesting that the servants didn't prepare the food.  This woman is skilled.

  She looks at land and buys it.  She uses the money she has earned and plants a vineyard.  She works very hard.  She is strong and able to do all her work.  She works late into the night to make sure her business earns a profit.  She makes her own thread and weaves her own cloth.

  Near me there is a few acres for sale.  It's been setting on the market for a while because part of it is in a floodplain zone with no driveway onto the road. Women today would not even think about buying it for growing a vineyard or garden.  When these verses was written, there was no large manufacturing companies.  Cloth was hand made.  Today the Warrior Wife may work from home online and still find time for her family.  

  She always gives to the poor and helps those who need it.  She does not worry about her family when it snows. She has given them all good, warm clothes.  She makes sheets and spreads for the beds and she wears clothes of fine linen.

  Logistics is the science of planning and executing the movement, maintenance, and supply.  Warrior Woman is a master of logistics.  

  

Her husband is a respected member of the city council, where he meets with the other leaders.

  This is to say that her husband is not corrupt.   A Warrior Woman of Yahuah Elohiym is a good judge of character and does not marry someone who steals, kills or destroys people's lives.  

  She makes clothes and belts and sells them to the merchants.  She is a strong person, and people respect her.

  In other words, a Warrior Woman of Yahuah Elohiym has the confidence to start a business.  

  She looks to the future with confidence.  She speaks with wisdom and teaches others to be loving and kind.  She oversees the care of her house.  She is never lazy.

  Warrior Women of Yahuah Elohiym are not timid.  She is not foolish. She  is not the student of a pervert.  She is not inferior to her husband.  But yet she is his helper.  

  Her children say good things about her.  Her husband brags about her and says, “There are many good women, but you are the best.”

  This is where I write my opinion.  I have seen many bad relationships in other couples.  Many times the husband acts like a spoiled child.  The woman does everything in the house or she does nothing.  They start life without a good role model.  In the church I learned things written in the Bible, but never was taught how to be a warrior for Yahusha Hamashia.  Leadership was teaching to be timid, not to be confidence in Yahuah Elohiym.  A Warrior Woman of Yahuah Elohiym would teach her children to be courageous, confident in Yahuah Elohiym, to be bold and not hesitant.

  Grace and beauty can fool you, but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.  Give her the reward she deserves.  Praise her in public for what she has done.

  When was the last time you ever heard of someone getting respect for being the perfect mother and wife?  I haven't.   When was the last time Grace and Beauty got attention?  All the time if she puffs up their egos.  She is seen as a good listener, authentic, and compassionate, often commanding respect without needing to be the center of attention.  People see this and they don't really know her.  What if she is motivated to relieve you of your wealth.  What if she has an obsession with status symbols.  

Judges Chapter 4, Deborah 

  Then the sons of Israel again did what was evil in the eyes of Yahuah. Now Ehud had died.  And Yahuah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.  Then the sons of Israel cried to Yahuah; for he had 900 iron chariots, and he oppressed the sons of Israel severely for twenty years.

  Ehud ben-Gera was a biblical hero and the second judge of Israel.  He was from the tribe of Benjamin whi delivered the Israelites from 18 years of Moabite oppression.  Without a great leader the nation becomes under the spell of lawlessness.  

  Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.  And she used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.  Then she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, “Has not Yahuah, the Elohiym of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you 10,000 men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun?  And I will draw out to you Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his many troops to the river Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.’” Then Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for Yahuah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

  Barak was weak, to timid to be a Warrior.  But Deborah was a Warrior Woman for Yahuah Elohiym.  

  Then Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh, and 10,000 men went up with him; Deborah also went up with him.

  Reminds me of Joan of Arc.  

  Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.  Then they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.  So Sisera called together all his chariots, 900 iron chariots, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon.  And Deborah said to Barak, “Arise! For this is the day in which Yahuah has given Sisera into your hand; has not Yahuah gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him.  And Yahuah threw Sisera and all his chariots and all his camp into confusion with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera came down from his chariot and fled away on foot.  But Barak pursued the chariots and all those in the camp as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not even one remained.  Now Sisera fled away on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.  And Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me!  Do not be afraid.” And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.  Then he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a bottle of milk and gave him a drink; then she covered him.  And he said to her, “Stand in the doorway of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and asks of you and says, ‘Is there a man here?’ that you shall say, ‘No.’”. Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and placed a hammer in her hand and went secretly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. So he died.  Now behold, Barak was pursuing Sisera, and Jael came out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And he entered with her, and behold, Sisera was lying dead with the tent peg in his temple.   So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.  And the hand of the sons of Israel went forth heavier and heavier against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin the king of Canaan.

  This goes to show you that Barak could have done it himself but he didn't have the faith to do so.  It took Deborah to give Barak the courage to do so.  Throughout history, Deborah would have been killed like that of Joan of Arc.  

  What made Deborah great was her wisdom and spiritual authority during a period of intense oppression and weak minded leaders like Barak.  Another woman that comes to my thoughts is Mary Magdalene.  While the disciples hid from Romans and Jewish authority, here was Mary Magdalene at the cross where Yahusha was bleeding out, being put to a horrible death.  Mary Magdalene was also at the tomb where they placed His body.  It is no wonder that Yahusha appeared to Mary Magdalene first and alone.  She provided her wealth and services without question and the disciples and the church didn't recognize her importance.  I believe that Mary Magdalene is also Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus and Martha.  Sarah the daughter of Mary Magdalene, her biological father was not Yahusha of Nazareth, but in my opinion another Yahusha.  This would be Joshua ben Gamla.  There is very little information on this.  The point being.  Mary Magdalene had a child.  Yahusha of Nazareth being a male relative of Mary Magdalene, He may have excepted her and Sarah Tamar as their guardian.  The question is, what happened between Mary Magdalene and whoever got her pregnant?  Another question is, did Yahusha Hamashia heal Sarah Tamar also?  We will never know until we see Paradise where they are now.
