Yeshua tells us exactly what we have to do to be LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven:
“Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven;…”
Without skipping a beat or even drawing a breath, He tells us conversely what we have to do to be great in the kingdom:
“but whoever KEEPS and TEACHES them, he shall be called GREAT in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:19)
Nuff said. Got Torah?
119 How blessed are those whose way is blameless,
Who walk in the Torah of YAHWEH.
2 How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart.
3 They also do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.
4 You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should keep them diligently.
5 Oh that my ways may be established
To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be ashamed
When I look upon all Your commandments.
7 I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I shall keep Your statutes;
Do not forsake me utterly!
Got Torah?
Shalom.
While preparing this week’s lesson for our Shabbat fellowship, I was reading a study by Eddie Chumney and contemplating the sin of harlotry and how we, the people of YHWH, have such a propensity for it. At the end of his study there is an amazing prayer that just moved me to tears. It is a simple compilation of Scripture. I encourage you to read, ponder and even pray this prayer.
[Opening comment] I think it is time to stop building suburbs in Babylon and “come out of her My people”. May we join Daniel, who was on his face praying, while still in Babylon:
“O YHVH righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day–to the men of Judah, to the Inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven us, because of the unfaithfulness which we have committed against You. We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts Continue reading “STOP building suburbs in Babylon!!”
Hosea 4:6 says,
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the Torah of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
You want God to remember you? You want His hand on your children?
Simple. Return to the Torah.
Yeshua (Jesus) the living Torah calls us to walk as He walked in the written Torah.
Shalom.
Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
What is His name? Do you know? Does it matter?
Short video that breaks it down so simply that even a child can understand!!
Marinate in that…
Shalom!
Joel 2:30-32: “I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
31 “The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
32 “And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of Yahweh Will be delivered;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
As the Lord has said,
Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
One of the interesting signs we are given as to the Day of the Lord is ‘the moon into blood.’
It is interesting to note that in 1947 and 1948 there were four blood moons associated with the formation of Israel as a nation.
In 1967 and 1968 there were four blood moons associated with the capture of Jerusalem.
NONE of those blood moons fell on a feast day….
The last time there was a blood moon tetrad was in the 1500s. After the one below, it won’t happen again for over a 100 years!!
Now, see this:
Notice also, the sun is turned to darkness on ‘new year’s day,’ according to the Hebrew calendar, AND, four blood moons ON Feast Days. Ask yourself, ‘is it significant that these all happen ON feast days?’ Why does Scripture say the Feasts of YHWH are to be celebrated forever, but the church says they are ‘abrogated/annulled? Zechariah 14:16-19 says we’ll celebrate some of these in the Millennium…. They are prophetic rehearsals for things yet to come… And, they are what the Father has connected the Blood moon signs with…
Might be a good time to be paying attention and drawing close to Messiah!! Read more on this blog to see what He really expects… What the Roman Catholic Church did away with and what Protestantism, the daughter of Catholicism is still missing…
Shalom!
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
Yeshua, John 5:46-47
Seems this Torah stuff might be more important than my pastor led me to believe….
Shalom!
If you have done any research trying to understand the Hebrew roots of your faith, you have no doubt run into information on tzitzits.
Most everyone focuses on the commandment in Numbers 15:37-40 as a way of reminding themselves and others of the commandments, or mitzvot of our God.
Certainly, this is central, but lately Abba has placed His grace on me in another way as He reveals a secondary aspect of blessing from simple obedience. What blessings? Let me share!! Continue reading “Tzitzits. A sign…”
