Shema Challenge… Post up!

Yesterday, I posted a few thoughts concerning a recently heralded event in Israel that Jews are paying attention to.  Prophetically, it is fascinating that in the last 20 years many, many non-Jews have begun to walk the ancient paths of our Father.  This trend is accelerating!!

Here is a video of us singing the Shema, just as we have done for over four years now, and pronouncing to Israel that they are to ‘hear and do,’ Shema!!  Judah is beginning to see and watch this global phenomenon with quiet excitement as it portents the coming of Messiah ben David!  Encourage them and help get the message out by making your own video and linking it to the Shema Challenge YouTube channel and/or the Shema Challenge G+ page.  Share on Facebook, etc…  Also, we’ll mirror videos onto this blog as a demonstration of the size of this growing community if you will email us a link!  Just use the ‘Contact Us‘ page.

Christian Child Fulfills Prophecy of Isaiah 56:7 on Temple Mount… [VIDEO]

A friend sent me a link to a Breaking Israel News article titled Christian Child Fulfills Prophecy of Isaiah 56:7 on Temple Mount and You’ll Never Guess How [VIDEO]. (Link and a challenge follows my comments)

I strongly recommend reading Isaiah 56:1-12, but the particular verse that has created the excitement is verse 7, (6-8 for context),

6 “Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of Yehovah,
To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath
And holds fast My covenant;
7 Even those I will bring to My holy mountain
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar;
For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.”

Here is the cute video, more comments and video after:

The article, concerning the video, excitedly shares that this Continue reading “Christian Child Fulfills Prophecy of Isaiah 56:7 on Temple Mount… [VIDEO]”

Meditations from Psalm 27. v.1

We are in the month of Elul, the 6th month in the Hebrew calendar.  Traditionally, this is a month of repentance and deep introspection as we prepare ourselves to stand before the King on Tishri 10, Yom Kippur.  During this time, in addition to normal reading, it is customary to add Psalm 27 as a daily meditation.  In that light, I’d like to post a few notes over the next few days.  Please share your thoughts on each verse selection as it comes up…

27:1 Yehovah is my light and my salvation;
    whom shall I fear?
Yehovah is the stronghold of my life;
    of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27 1Interestingly, one of the reasons this Psalm was selected millennia ago by the rabbis for preparation for the Fall Feasts is because there is an allusion to each of the feasts in the Psalm.  The first phrase of the Psalm contains two of the three allusions.

Our first allusion is ‘light,’ and the word points to Yom Teruah, Day of Blowing (Trumpets), which is also known as the Day of Coronation.  The King is coming and He will appear on the Day of Trumpets, some year in the future.  He is Light and is the bringer and creator of light.  More importantly, He is MY light.

Truth: a few thoughts.

PS 119: 142  Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy Torah is truth.

Human based truth can change, however the truth of God’s Word is unchanging.  Can the truth of God’s Word be made more or less true?

When Paul says, in 2 Timothy 3,

16  Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, “

Is some Scripture more profitable than  other?  When he wrote that, he wasn’t talking about any of the ‘ new’ testament….  What Scripture was he talking about for training in righteousness?

25  And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Is Deuteronomy, or the Torah less true than the Gospels or Pauline letters?

How about this: can one ‘truth’ in God’s Word abolish or overide another without an explicit declaration of such?  As an example, Continue reading “Truth: a few thoughts.”
