[Music] [Music] hello and welcome to another teaching by 119 ministries our ministry teaches the whole Bible is true and applicable for our lives today if you would like to learn more about what we believe in teach please visit us at tests everything that net we hope that you enjoy studying and testing the following teaching [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this teaching is intended to answer many of the frequently asked questions pertaining to seat seats so let's get started what are seat seats seat seats are tassels or fringes that attach to our clothing each containing a thread of blue the biblical instruction is found in both Deuteronomy 22 12 and numbers 15 38 through 39 when should we wear seat seats first let's read the corresponding verses about seat seats Deuteronomy 22 verse 12 you shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself numbers 15 38 through 39 speak to the people of Israel and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner and it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of Yahweh to do them not to follow after your own heart and your own eyes which you are inclined to after while Deuteronomy 22 verse 12 simply offers the instruction number is 15 39 better reveals the reasoning and the purpose numbers 15 39 and it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of Yahweh to do them not to follow after your own heart and your own eyes which you are inclined to after the seat seat serve as a visual reminder a visible device intended to constantly call to our attention that we are to represent Yahweh and everything that we do so the answer to when we should wear seat seats is any time we need to be remembering to keep you always Commandments meaning basically anytime we are wearing clothes and conscious not all clothing our circumstances are likely appropriate common sense prevails for example it would not make much sense to wear them with your swimming apparel where it can easily get impaired it could also be dangerous when wearing sea seats during heavy work with machinery as they could be I'm caught use your own judgement in these cases how do our wear seat seats in Deuteronomy 22 12 we read that this seat seats are to be attached to the four corners of your garments dinner on me 22 12 you shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself at the time that this commandment was given the Hebrew garment contained four corners this would have caused the seat seats to be visible which would have been the intent and describing the location on the clothing this has also led to the practice of wearing a total of four seat seats the instruction does not clearly state the need to wear four seat seats the minimum would be two to be consistent with the plural usage of seat co2 in the commandment for seat seats however may be what was intended similar to how the four corners of the earth metaphorically represents the whole earth in Scripture the four corners of our garment would imply that our whole body is covered in the purpose and reminder to keep Yahweh's Commandments during the time that patriarchs in issue of the Messiah a garment had four corners if you live in the Middle East or when you watch the news you can notice Arabs wearing a long dress called a thawb it is a long-sleeved one-piece dress that covers the whole body this cummin allows air to circulate which helps to cool the body during summer months this is the same garment today that many Christian charts priests wear because it is a one-piece garment that dress has four corners it is to be noted that there was also another garment that people used to wear over this one-piece garment during the times of the patriarchs and Yahshua the Messiah this in Aramaic is called the Bichette and in English it is called a cloak or a coat this was an outer cloak made of an expensive material such as silk or linen that also had four corners so the seats he was tied on the corner of this garment when Yeshua was crucified the soldiers took his outer garments plural and his inner garment and cast lots to see who would take it John chapter 19 verses 23 through 24 this clearly shows that during the time of Yeshua there were outer garments and an garment that people used to wear the commandment itself does not literally state to wear a garment with four corners but assumes their reader is already wearing a garment with four corners the obvious intent of the commandment is to have the seat seats visible to remind you to keep all the commandments of Yahweh for those that are really concerned about having a four-cornered garment there are several means to accomplish this belt loops on jeans or pants have corners and many attached seat seats to their belt loops there also exist products that attach these seats to a four-cornered leather garment that can then attach to your clothing in various ways should women aware seat seats yes we believe so for reference 119 ministries offers a separate teaching dedicated just to this question titled should women wear seat seats it is a Jewish tradition based on poor application of the Hebrew word been that has led to the modern-day belief that women should not wear seat seats this has not always been the case for example here's a painting of a 15th century synagogue showing women wearing this same tallied as men with seat seats attached the instruction for seat seats was given to the children of Israel not literally just the male offspring of Israel should my children wear seat seats we are instructed to teach our children the Torah Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 7 you shall teach them to our commandments diligently to your children and shalt talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise the wearing of Cici's is a commandment found in the Torah it is one of the simplest instructions we can teach our children given that the intent of ct's is to help remind us to keep the rest of the commandments CC's also serve well to help remind our children to keep and observe their commandments that they have been taught and are being taught it would logically follow that children should maybe start wearing CDs early on in their education about Yahweh's Commandments for more information on this topic see the blog teaching should children wear seat seats on the 119 ministries website at test everything dotnet can I make my own seat seats or should they only be made by certain people there are no instructions in the Torah that state that only certain people can make seed seats you can make your own or if that does not suit you there are many who offer such services online there are different traditions on how to make seed seats in particular the number of knots or even threads however seats can be made in any way one chooses as long as it contains a blue thread at work due to our uniform regulations police officer firefighters military hotel staff hospital staff etc I cannot wear seat seats what do I do this is a common problem the first step is to respectfully talk with your employer and determine whether arrangements can or cannot be made quite often restrictions on wearing seat seats is due the safety concerns and the nature of the work for example a member of our own team at 119 ministries is a police officer and has been for about 28 years he wears his CTS in his pocket to try to apply the Commandant the best that he is able life always takes precedence in observing the Torah see our teaching weightier matters for more information for range mints to wear seat seats cannot be made many wear their seat seats underneath their uniform applying the Commandant the best that they are able how long should a CT be in length there is not an established length for CC's in the Torah in the first century some Jews made their seats absurdly long as to draw attention to themselves this is not the point of seat seats and Yeshua called them out on such practices find a size that is right and appropriate for you why do some seat seats for sale not contain a blue thread or why do I see Jews wearing seat seats without a blue thread many C seats purchase from Israel do not have a blue thread this is due to the man-made traditions or rules that exist among Orthodox Jews in such cases all you have to do is tie a blue thread on it rabbinic sources have stated that the blue color comes from a snail called his own but he'll azan is not a biological species name just a rabbinic name the mystery lies in figuring out the species to which they were referring the search for the answer began in the early 20th century when Isaac Herzog who went on to become the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel wrote a doctoral thesis in which he concluded that his snail called der murex trunculus the romantic name Hassan was the most likely candidate for the source of the blue dye while the Talmud the oral man-made laws of Judaism does not give a full identification of Hilla zone it does provide important clues it is found near Hoffa and the color it's dye is similar to the sky and the sea key to Herzog's conclusion was the fact that archaeological digs uncovered large ancient dine facilities close to Hoffa and mounds of murex trunculus but Herzog's conclusions had some drawbacks this snails died was purplish blue not the pure blue described in the Talmud it took into the early 1980s for this riddle to be solved in research unrelated to the search for the traditional dye Otto Elsner a professor at Shankar college of engineering and design near Tel Aviv noticed that on sunny days murex trunculus dye became more blue and less purple it turned out that the missing link between Herzog's experiments and traditional dyeing methods was ultraviolet light which transforms a blue purple colorant to unadulterated blue because modern Jews did not know the origin of the original blue dye or the traditional blue dye they chose to break the commandment by not wearing a blue thread at all fortunately the Torah does not require any specific source of blue dye contrary to Jewish tradition we can wear seat seats with a blue thread without dye from the possible historical source of a snail can I add any other colors in addition to the blue thread tassels can be of different colors and the scripture does not mention the various colors in which the thread must be made except for the one specific color but it does say that you must have a blue thread that would remind you of the commandments of Yahweh almost all tassels nowadays have multiple blue threads but the Scriptures specifically say put a blue cord in the sea seat as you can see the blue thread is singular not plural over the years based on their own traditions people added more blue threads into it there is also no restriction and place in other colors of meaning and significance into the seat seats along with the required blue thread did they wear seat seats in the New Testament times yes as we have already read that Pharisees had a tradition of absurdly long attention drawing seat seats that Yeshua criticized Matthew 23 verse 5 they do all their deeds to be seen by others for them make their phylacteries broad and their fringes seat seats long the same Greek word used in Matthew 23 5 is also used in this story about the woman with the blood issue touching yushua seat seats for healing just like the woman with the blood issues many others adopted the practice of touching Yeshua's CDs for healing Matthew 9 22 21 and behold a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for 12 years came up behind him and touched the fringe or seat seats of his garment for she said to herself if I only touch His garment I will be made well Matthew 14 and when the men of that place recognized him they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the French seat seized of his garment and as many as touched it were made well mark 6 56 and wherever he came in villages cities or countryside they laid the sick in the marketplace and implored him that they might touch even the fringe seat seats of his garment and as many as touched it were made well we hope that this teaching has been helpful in your understanding of the biblical wearing of seat seats we pray
