When reading 1 Corin 14 which is the most disputed chapter among Christianity which stands divided over the unknown tongue spoken among some who say that the gift still exists while others say the gift has ceased to exist, those among the Hebrew movement quickly pass judgment on Christianity with no actual understanding what this gift was all about. We must not condemn anyone as to judge is in the hands of Yahusha. We must only bring exposition from the word if we understand it or keep silent and learn. I have a 2-part study on The Another Tongue on my blog where I have given a description of the entire matter and encourage you to read.
1Cor 14:2 For one who speaks in a tongue/ (Hebrew: lashun, Greek: glossa, Aramaic: lashana) does not speak to men but to Elohim, for no one understands, but in the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.
The confusion is cleared when we read Shaul quoting YashaYahu 28:11 in comparison with the subject in hand. He quotes the verse in 1Corin 14:21
1Co 14:20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking, but in evil be babes, and in your thinking be perfect.
1Co 14:21 In the Torah it has been written, “With men of mocking lips and another language I shall speak to this people. And even so, they shall not hear Me, says יהוה.” (Revised translation)
Isa 28:11 For with a לָעֵג/laag H3934 סָפָה/sapah H8193 and a אַחֵר/achar H312 לָשׁוֹן/lashun H3956 He speaks to this people,
Isa 28:12 To whom he said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
The Hebrew word laag/לָעֵג H3934 is the same word H3932 which means 'to deride; by implication (as if imitating a foreigner) to speak unintelligibly: - have in derision, laugh (to scorn), mock (on), stammering.'
The Hebrew word sapah/סָפָה H8193 is the same word without vowel points H5595 and means 'properly to scrape (literally to shave; but usually figuratively) together (that is, to accumulate or increase) or away (that is, to scatter, remove or ruin; intransitively to perish): - add, augment, consume, destroy, heap, join, perish, put' The word also means 'lip/shore/edge/brim/border/speak/talk/words/scatter/ruin/perish'
'laag sapah' would mean 'mocking lip/imitating talk/stammering words/scorning heap etc ' and its usage is in the negative sense. Hence, Yahuah says In YashaYahu 28:11 'For with mocking lip and another or strange/achar language He speaks to this people, To whom he said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.'
We also need to see the audience to whom the basharah/gospel came to on the Day of Shavout/Pentecost. They were the scattered of Yasharal who came from the nations as per Torah where they had to present themselves three times a year before Yahuah not without a sacrifice. They all heard the Gentile Galileans speaking in their own native language. Hence, those speaking were Gentiles, and the audience were also Gentiles of the nations. These Gentiles were not pagan Gentiles but of the sheep of Yasharal who were scattered to the ends of the world from where they came up to Yerushalayim to offer a sacrifice (as long as the heykal/temple was standing, they (the men) came up at least 3 times a year as per Torah).
And when they came hearing the basharah in their own language some of them mocked and said "These men are full of new wine"
Act 2:13 Others mocking/laagu said, these men are full of new wine.
The problem in the Corinthian assembly was that they brought this sign which was for the unbelieving into the assembly, which was believing, whereas in the assembly they ought to have brought exposition through prophecy rather than speak in this unknown language which required an interpreter.
Shaul in his letter to the Corinthian assembly says that this lashun/language was a sign to the unbelieving and not to the believing.
1Cor 14:22 So then tongues/lashonoth are for a sign/aut, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy/nabuah is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.
1Cor 14:24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever/machasur ‘emunah or an idiot/hadyut man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;
מַחְסוֹר machusar H4270 From H2637; deficiency; hence impoverishment: - lack, need, penury, poor, poverty, want.
הדיוט hadyut from where we get our English word 'idiot' is someone who is ignorant/not skilled/void of knowledge.
Now to understand the 5 words Shaul chose to speak in the assembly rather than the 10,000 words in an unknown language:
1Cor 14:19 Indeed, in the assembly I choose to speak five words in my mind in order to instruct others also to speak ten thousand of words in a language.
Yahusha taught us that the Torah and the prophets hang on and are summarized by the two greatest commands:
1. Hear O Yasharal Yahuah our AL, Yahuah is One. You shall love Yahuah your Aluahym with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your knowledge and with all your strength.
2. Love your Neighbour as yourself
Mark12:29 Yahusha answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Yisra’El! Yahuah our El, Yahuah is one.”
Mark12:30 “And you shall love Yahuah your El with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your knowledge, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.”
Mark12:31 “Now The second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.
Hence, we must look at the Ten commandments to categorize the 2 sets of commands.
Commands related to Yahuah:
Command 1:
Ex20:2 I am Yahuah your El, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.
Ex20:3 You shall have no other mighty ones before Me.
Command 2:
Ex20:4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heavens above or what is on the earth beneath or what is in the water under the earth.
Ex20:5 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, Yahuah your El, am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Ex20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me, and to those who keep My commandments.
Command 3:
Ex20:7 You shall not take the name of Yahuah your El in vain, for Yahuah shall not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
Command 4:
Ex20:8 Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it holy.
Ex20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Ex20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat of Yahuah your El; you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male servant or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who is within your gates.
Ex20:11 For in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore, Yahuah blessed the Shabbat day and made it holy.
Command 5:
Ex20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahuah your El gives you.
Commands related to Neighbour:
Command 1:
Ex20:13 You shall not murder.
Command 2:
Ex20:14 You shall not commit adultery.
Command 3:
Ex20:15 You shall not steal.
Command 4:
Ex20:16 You shall not testify against your neighbor a witness of falsehood.
Command 5:
Ex20:17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
And all these commands were given in ONE GO. I have touched based it in my note 'The Another Tongue-Part 1'. Here is an extract:
Exo 20:18 should correctly read and all the people perceived the alpah tau voices/qolot, and the alaph tau torches/lappidym, and the alaph tau voice/qol of the ram’s horn/shophar, and the alaph tau mountain/ har smoke/ashan. And the people saw, and they moved, and stood far off.
This is confirmed and understood better when we turn to the text of Deuteronomy where Masha records this as voice.
Deu 5:22 את eth-These words YAHUAH spoke unto all your assembly in the Mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a magnificent/gadul voice/qol H6963: and he added no more. And he wrote them on two sapphire stones and delivered them unto me.
Deu 5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard את eth-the voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deu 5:24 And ye said, Behold, YAHUAH ELOHAYNU has showed us את eth-his glory and את eth-his greatness, and we have heard את eth-his voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that ELOHIYM talks את eth-with man, and he lives.
Deu 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear את eth-the voice of YAHUAH ELOHAYNU anymore, then we shall die.
Exodus 20:18 uses the word 'qolot' which is the plural of 'qol' and means voices.
The detail given by the people in Exodus 20 that He spoke with “voices/qolot,” shows us more than one voice i.e., a literal command seconded by the Ruach hidden in the command. His “magnificent voice” was, in fact, the miraculous utterance of multiple voices being emitted from HIM at once! When He spoke the Ten Commandments, although He alone was speaking, He was supernaturally uttering more than one word at the same time! This is nothing less than the gift of languages, a miraculous form of speech, spoken by the Creator of all languages, Himself! As He poured His Torah into them, His Ruach used a speaking method that cannot be explained but HE demonstrated His own power to every single person there!
And Yahusha's summary shows that HE IS THE SPEAKER for He summarized both the commands into 2 showing us the source. For even Shaul confirms that Yahusha was the speaker in Hebrews 12.
Heb12:24 and to Yahusha, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of the blood of Habel.
Heb12:25 Therefore, take heed lest you refuse to hear Him that speaks. For if those did not escape when they refused to hear Him who spoke with them on the earth, how much less if we turn away to hear from the voice of Him who speaks from the heavens,
In the first set of commands related to Yahuah has the 5th one stated which needs to be understood why it is there in the first set related to Yahuah.
Ex20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahuah your El gives you.
Honor your father and mother that your days may be prolonged in the land is understood when the Psalmist says in Psalms 137:5-6
If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget its skill. If I do not remember you, 7 let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Yerushalayim above my chief joy.
Shaul calls the Yerushalayim from above as 'mother of us all'. Also, the command in Gen 2:24 " Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh" shows us Yahusha leaving His Fatherhood and Heavenly Yerushalayim and coming in the tent fashioned as us to cleave unto us because of His deep love for us, He expects us to respond to Him in the same love. This mystery Shaul the emissary speaks about in Eph 5:30-32 points to Mashiyach. The life-giving commandment is concealed in the letter. It's also noteworthy that in Yahuah's order in the first 5 commands its Yahuah who comes first, and then the rest. Only Yahuah can supersede His commands as He denied Himself to cling to us. Hence in response to that love, Yahusha says "Unless you love ME above your father, mother, wife, brother and sister more than Me does not deserve me.
Matt10:37 “the one loves his father, or his mother more than Me does not deserve Me, and the one loves his son, or his daughter more than Me does not deserve Me.”
Luke14:26 “If someone comes to Me and does not hate his father and his mother and his wife and his children and his brothers and his sisters, yes, and even his own life, he is not able to be My disciple.”
Rev2:4 “But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
Doesn't it clearly again show that Yahuah = Yahusha as the object of our love above all else is Yahusha?
Now to understand the command 4:
Ex20:8 Remember/zakar the Shabbat day, to keep it holy.
Ex20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Ex20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat of Yahuah your El; you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male servant or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who is within your gates.
Ex20:11 For in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore, Yahuah blessed the Shabbat day and made it holy.
The Hebrew word 'zakar' translated as 'Remember' is also the same word for 'Male' referring to Yahusha who is the Bright and Morning star, the Day star who rises in our hearts, the Sun of Righteousness who rises with healing in His wings. The 7th Day Rest is in him. Speaking of Joshua, the writer of Hebrews says If Joshua would have given them Rest, there wouldn't be another day spoken of rest. Hence, the Day Star Yahusha is that Day, He is the Male/zakar that we must remember and not look up to the sun, moon & stars calendars to determine the Day.Heb4:8 For if Yahushua (Joshua) had given them rest,
He would not have spoken about another day after that
Heb4:9 Therefore, there remains another Shabbat rest for the people of Elohim.
In the new creation order in New Yershalayim, the Lamb is the LIGHT and there is no night there and we shall see His face. He is the One who ushers us into the Day of Yahuah in a rest that we cannot get especially being in pagan lands.
There is a sister I was witnessing last night, and she rejected what I had to say outright without understanding the command and how it transitions to Yahusha. She later posted on her timeline the following:
Quote: So if the the seventh day Shabbath is no longer a requirement or commandment I guess it's now okay to lie, steal, murder too? Committing adultery is now acceptable? It's no longer do as Yahuah commands, but do as thou wilt? End Quote:
I hope she reads this note as she doesn't understand that what she asked as a question are commands which fall in line with 'Love your Neighbour as yourself' and she is mixing it with the commands of loving Yahuah with all your heart, mind, knowledge and strength.
She further contradicted scripture by quoting from apocrypha book Ezra 4 which is not scripture and not in line with the command. This is what she posted:
Quote: But they took this counsel among themselves, that they 
would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, That they might there guard their statutes, which they never kept in their own land
. And they entered into Perath by the narrow places of the river. EZRA REVIY`IY (4 EZRA) 13:41-43 את CEPHER End Quote
She missed "WITHIN YOURE GATES" which is an indication of being tied to the Shemitah.
Ex 20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat of Yahuah your El; you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male servant or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who is within your gates.
The Shabbat, feasts were tied to the Shemitah? The Shemitah of the land had the 7th day rest, 6 years sowing and 7th year rest for the land where everyone eats what grows of itself. Every 7 x 7 + 1 = 50 was year of jubilee announced during Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and this was also a sequential Shabbath rest for the land as the 49th and 50th year no sowing and reaping and all lands sold in distress returned to their owners, slaves returned to their homes etc. All this can be read in Leviticus 25.When Yahudah was carried into captivity here is what scripture records:
2Ch 36:20 And those who escaped from the sword he exiled to Baḇel, where they became servants to him and his sons until the reign of the reign of Persia,
2Ch 36:21 in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.
It all ceased as the poor of the land who were left behind ate what grew of itself.
Hos 2:11 “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,
Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Baḇel, There we sat down and we wept As we remembered Tsiyon.
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, And our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה On foreign soil?
How could we sing the song of Yahuah on foreign soil?
The Shemitah ceased. What does Yahuchanan say in Revelation?
Rev 18:23 “And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.
Shaul likens the present Yerushalayim of his time as Hagar in bondage with her children and says we are born from Yerushalayim from above.
Gal 4:25 for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
If anyone is in Mashiyach Yahusha is a new creation, old things are passed away and behold all things become new. The new creation order is tied to New Yerushalayim not as the old covenant tied to the physical Shemitah.The physical day progressed to find the fulfilment in Mashiyach, the Day star, the Sun of righteousness, Bright and Morning Star as He is called. The very word Zakar the Shabbath day is Remembering Him with groaning to be clothed from above. Yahuah didn’t want us to be in His wrath for disobedience, so He drove our fathers away from the Shemitah which tied them to these laws which were hard to bear. There were so many laws that tied to it like a woman in her mensuration, or a discharge from male or female defiled them to not observe the physical day.
Yahuchanan saw Mashiyach among 7 lamp stands which shows the Shemitah is in Him. The sign of the sun, moon stars darkening is Yasharal in deep darkness who have gone back to the letter imitating Judaism and not understanding the dispersion. Please look up Yoseph s dream where he saw the sun, moon and 11 stars bowing down to him (he himself was the 12th star)
The dragon cast 1/3 stars down with his tail.
What is the significance of the tail?
Isa 9:15 Elder and highly respected, he is the head; the prophet who teaches falsehood, he is the tail.
Rev 12:4 And his tail draws a third of the stars of the heaven and throws them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Doesn’t the woman who was clothed with the sun and moon under her feet and 12 stars on her head (Rev 12:1) flee into the wilderness where she is nourished for time, times and a half?
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Please look up the words in Daniel where this verse is tied to:
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for an appointed time/muaed, appointed times/muaedim, and half a time/chetsiy. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed.
The Hebrew words used for time, times is muaed, muaedim which is the same word used for feasts/appointed times in Lev 23. Hence, the woman is nourished in the wilderness which are pagan lands for this entire appointed time while the land rests in desolation, but we are not desolate as Yahusha feeds us with manna in the wilderness.
Why do you think Malchitsedeq priest brought bread and wine to Abraham? And why did Yahusha break bread and drank of the wine and said that He will only drink it new in the kingdom with us? Why do think there is a Marriage supper of the Lamb? Exodus 24:9-11 Moshe, Aharon, and 70 elders were on the mountain and ate the covenant meal which is a sign of the consumption of the covenant. Hence, there is a Marriage supper of the Lamb where he would have the covenant meal with His elect in New Yerushalayim.
The Malkitsedeq in the New order/ dabar:
It says of Him “You are a priest forever after the order / dabar Malchitsedeq.
When the sun moon stars representing Yasharal is darkened what else sign do we need to discern the signs of times. People point out Acts of the apostles and formulate a doctrine out of it without realizing that they were in a transition from the carnal to the spiritual in Mashiyach. It was gradual and slow, and the transition didn’t happen overnight.
The book of Romans, Galatians and Hebrews were written to the Yahudite's who converted as Messianic, and the completion of the transition was written by Shaul.
Gal 2:1 Then after fourteen years I again went up to Yerushalayim, with Barnaḇa, taking Titos along too.
Gal 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and laid before them that Good News which I proclaim among the nations, but separately to those who were esteemed, lest somehow I run, or had run, in vain.
Shaul had a fear which he says that He went to Yeushalayim after 14 years being among the Gentiles to confirm the revelations he received with the pillars of belief among the emissaries. He says he feared lest somehow, he had run in vain. But there was great joy as the same Ruach worked in the other emissaries bringing them into the Ruach in Mashiyach, a complete transition.
We see multitudes have formed camps and greeting Shabbat Shalum on different days and each camp says they are correct in their observations. Yahusha is Yahuah and in YashaYahu 6 the prophet YashaYahu saw Yahuah high and lifted up and the hem of His garment filled the haykal/ temple. So whom did he see? John 12:41 Yahuchanan says “These things YashaYahu said when he saw His (Yahusha's) esteem.” So Yahusha in the bodily form in humanity came after the first order /dabar Malchitsedeq who He Himself was as Yahuah. Ezekiel 1:26 he saw a man seated on the throne who was Yahuah. Everything transitions into Him.
