Crossed over from what? Read on\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Numbers 22:5,<\/strong> <strong><em>Pethor \u2026 by the river. <\/em><\/strong>Balaam was from the land of Pethor, which is \u201cby the River.\u201d This is a reference to the Euphrates River, the great river of Babylon (<em>The ArtScroll Stone Edition Chumash,<\/em> p. 857). Thus Balaam was a Babylonian, although he may have been a transplanted Edomite according to some Jewish scholars (see <em>The ArtScroll Bereishis\/Genesis Commentary <\/em>on Gen 36:32).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the aspects of Babylon of the last days is her religious system (Rev 13:11ff) the head of which is the false prophet (Rev 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). The Babylonian religious system of the end days is a blend of both good and evil (reminiscent of the tree by that name in Eden from which the serpent beguiled Adam and Eve away from YHVH\u2019s path of truth and righteousness into a false religious system).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last days, YHVH is calling his people out of that false religious system (Rev 18:4) with its false prophets who prophesy a mixture of good and evil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is not modern traditional Christianity a mixture of good and evil, truth and error (i.e. doctrines and traditions of men along with some paganism mixed in)? Reflect on the implications of this. To what degree have you heeded YHVH\u2019s call to \u201ccome out of her\u201d\u2014namely, any man-made religious or church systems that has components that are contrary to the Word of Elohim?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like many in mainstream Christianity, the Scriptures seems to indicate that Balaam had some knowledge of the truth of YHVH, but he refused to wholeheartedly submit to YHVH\u2019s word and will (2\u2009Pet\u202f2:15).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us not forget Yeshua\u2019s warning about false prophets arising in the last days who might deceive the very elect (Matt 24:24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Numbers 22:10ff,<\/strong> <strong>Crossing over. <\/strong>Many carnal people\u2014especially those playing at religion\u2014want to be like YHVH\u2019s saints, and to be the recipients of the blessings of Israel, and to be numbered among YHVH\u2019s chosen, but few want to walk the difficult walk of holiness and righteousness required to receive these blessings and privileges. These may very well be the spiritual tares that surreptitiously exist along side the saints within their congregations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people will \u201ccourt YHVH\u201d by getting as close to him as possible without actually crossing over that spiritual river that divides the land of Israel from the rest of the world. Those who actually cross over become an <em>Ivrit or a <\/em>Hebrew\u2014a word which means \u201cto cross over.\u201d Abraham was one who crossed over. He forsook Babylon and crossed over the Euphrates and Jordan Rivers in his journey westward en route to the Promised Land as he followed YHVH\u2019s leading. He was the first Hebrew (<em>Ivrit<\/em>) or \u201cone who crossed over.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crossing over means going from being a worldly Babylonian to becoming the Israel of Elohim (Gal 6:16; Eph 2:11\u201313) and a child of Abraham (Gal 3:29). It also means surrendering one\u2019s life totally to the Elohim of the Hebrews who is YHVH.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sacrifice of crossing over is too great for most people to make and requires the payment price of a high price\u2014the death of self, pride, one\u2019s own will and perhaps a change in lifestyle and the loss of one\u2019s friends and status in the world. To leave the world or spiritual Babylon and to cross over the Jordan River to YHVH\u2019s side and come into the land of Israel as a spiritual Hebrew means that the fame and fortune that this world has to offer must be laid aside and one must become a servant-slave of YHVH. Moreover, it means embracing YHVH\u2019s Torah as the law of life\u2014Elohim\u2019s instructions in righteousness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Balaam couldn\u2019t cross over all the way. He still preferred the riches and fame Babylon had to offer. He was willful, carnal and greedy (Jude 11).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many religious game-players or cultural Christians in the mainstream church are like Balaam. They want the Savior part of Yeshua, but not the Lord part. How serious are you about serving YHVH?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Scriptures say of the end-times saints that they loved not their lives unto death (Rev 12:11). Paul declares that followers of Yeshua must become \u201cliving sacrifices\u201d in the service of YHVH (Rom 12:1). Yeshua gave his very life for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you holding back some of your life for him? Do the cares of this world, the desire for pleasures, material goods, money, entertainments or acclaim still have a grip on your heart? Are they preventing you from moving into your spiritual calling and destiny\u2014to truly walk by faith in obedience to YHVH?<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'What does it mean to cross over\u2014to become a Hebrew, the Israel of Elohim?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2019\/07\/16\/what-does-it-mean-to-cross-over-to-become-a-hebrew-the-israel-of-elohim\/',contentID: 'post-15032',suggestTags: 'Babylon,Balaam,Christian Church,Hebrew',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Numbers 22:5, Pethor \u2026 by the river.
