How do we stand before God? (Job 1-5

 True love for the Lord is to obey His Law not out of fear or reward but love. Out of our reverence of the Lord, we fight evil. Not only for ourselves, should we likewise make intersession for others. Our safest place is in the arms of the divine even when it brings troubles. Calvin preached in His “First Sermon upon the First Chapter” of Job this:“Upon the sight of such an issue we may conclude, that there is nothing better, than to submit ourselves unto God, and to suffer peaceably whatsoever he sends us, until he deliver us of his own mere goodness.” (Pg. 1/38 Arther Golding 1574 Lucus Harris)

All people stand before the Lord naked. The Lord holds satan not to destroy us but to test the children of the Lord to purify us to being vessel by which God can use us. We can only be touched obey the devil as much as the Lord allows. The Lord's Name should be praised whether we gain or lose. God's answer to the problem of pain is wisdom. Paige-Patric J D Samuels wrote in his paper “JOB AND SUFFERING,” “God answers another question, that of the source of wisdom. He provides the definite answer he is wise.”( Pg.3 0 The greater trial is when we receive physical pain or family curse us.

Only Spanish and East Asians paint vibrantly in black. When we rest in pain, our vibrancy is like Japanese ink paintings with each stain simplified to a simple stroke of black. Our birth should be cursed for life is the beginning of bitterness, but a righteous man suffers more as even the Prophet Jeremiah wrote in Jeremiah 20:14, “Cursed be the day when I was born; Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me!” NASU Night is a welcome friend of pain. One then asks why we did not expire in our mother's womb. Pain exists until our final rest. Life is the white contrast to painfully vibrant, black brushstrokes.

Pain never guards silence for words are risk for some comfort. In health, we are quick to give advice to those who stumble, but pain causes us to groan. Our faith is our assurance is troubles for our Hope is found in the arms of the divine. God moves to convict men of sin. God's Justice confounds the wise making them stupid. Man is born to suffering for our recourse is the divine. The prophet Micah wrote in Micah 7:8 “Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.” NASU

Where do you Look? Amos 5-6

 Listen and Obey the Lord for people sing mocking us. Desolation has been determined. But, we need to repent on a personal level as Amos wrote in  Amos 5:4, 'For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, " Seek Me that you may live.””NASU John Calvin wrote in Commentaries on the Twelve Minor Prophets Vol.2, “We have elsewhere said that men cannot be led to repentance, unless they believe that God will be propitious to them; for all who think him to be implacable, ever flee away from him, and dread the mention of his name.”(Pg. 249

You change the right into poison. The Lord created the stars and puts the robbed above the stong. The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. He will ruin your citadels seek right and do it Charlie sonos wrote “Ethical and moral concern goes hand in hand. Seeking well and seeking God are not to be separated.” (sonos, Charlie. “The Exegesis of Amos 5:18-27.” Sonoma Adventist College, 2020.)

We should not seek the Second Coming. It brings darkness from the pan to the fire. God hates our feasts. When you offer gifts, The Lord will abhor them and hates your music. The prophet Samuel said  in 1 Sam 15:22, ' Samuel said, " Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.”'NASU

America must look and see that greater empires then her have fallen. There is no Soviet Union anymore. America is fat and over sexed. The Lord is against America.

What Does Love got to do with it? Hosea 5-7

 Listen! The Lord is the same for all people. He wants Holiness but the West has become a plague.  We have replaced obedience to the Lord with the our own way. John Calvin wrote in his “COMMENTARIES ON THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS (Vol. 1)” this:

“That our sacrifices then may please God, they must be according to the rule of his word;for ‘obedience,’ as it has been said already, ‘is better than all sacrifices,’ (1 Samuel 15:22.)But when men retake themselves to false forms of worship or such as are invented, nothing then is holy or acceptable to God, but an abominable filth.” (Pg. 175 Christian Classics Ethereal Library )

The Lord knows us, but we do not know Him. We are all fallen. If we lack true repentance , we will never find Him. God's Judgment is coming. All will be broken by it. In pain, we seek the enemy for deliverance but will not find healing. For the Almighty , He is is the Lion of Judah seeks to deliver. In distress, they will find His presence as Hosea wrote in Hosea 5:15 “I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”NASU  

Come and return to the Lord. The same Lord who brought judgment can bring restoration is we seek Him completely. We need to search to know the Lord. Jack Riggs wrote in his book “Hosea's Heartbreak, ”A persistent, diligent endeavor to know the Lord can result only in His blessing.” (Pg. 103; Loizeaux brothers 1983) The Lord prefers love above all else, but we broke His covenant. Our love is lost so He must judge.

When God would heal, the sin was to great. The West are sex addicts. Our evil is open to all. Because of sin God is hiding His Spirit. No one calls on the Lord. The Most High wants to bless.

What Warnings and Messages Will You not Hear? (Jeremiah 1-5)

 You have become pagans. The Almighty has created monsters to draw us to Himself. Chrysostom wrote in his Homilies on I Corinthians 29.2., “And God drives them not only by compulsion but also by advising, exhorting, threatening. He does not darken their mind, because to cause distraction, madness and great darkness is the proper work of a demon.” Consecration is put on some to worn of the wrath coming. The coming wrath of God supersedes human objection. The Lord will ruin the West.

The Holy One has set before you His Branch which will judge the nations. The Branch is both loving and judge. In righteousness, we quickly receive the terror that we bring on ourselves for our evil, however, that same Branch gives mercy to those who repent from their evil and seek Him alone in faith. Divine wrath is already coming down on the West. 

It is said that God established America with the National motto being “In God We Trust.” But, Only Israel is uniquely God's own. The West has a history of faith in the Holy One with its history of apostasy as if the Lord ignored them. The prophet Jeremiah wrote in Jeremiah 2:5 'Thus says the LORD, " What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me And walked after emptiness and became empty? “'NASU The pilgrims did not question God, but you create the gods of your own minds.

We has commuted two evils. First, we rejected the pure Living Water of the divine. Second we worship our own intellect. (Our intellect does not hold water.) We are pillaged. Our cities are crime capitals. Chrysostom wrote in his Homilies on Repentance and Alms-giving 1.4.27 'Allowing them to be educated through punishment, he said to them, “Your apostasy shall correct you, and wickedness shall reprove you.”'

Sex is the status quo. We skank for new mates. God gave freedom and purity, but man chose the darkness of his own heart. God founded us in rightness, we gave evil fruit. John Calvin wrote in his “Commentary on Jeremiah: Vol I”

“For on this condition, and for this end, they were redeemed by God, — that they might consecrate themselves wholly to him. God then now condemns the people for their ingratitude, because they thought that the yoke was shaken off, that they might be, as we shall hereafter find, like untamable wild beasts.”(pg. 108 Christian Classics Ethereal Library)

How can you say that you are the pinnacle of civilization? You are lost. You call the tree your father because you worship you thoughts. A woman remembers her jewelry, but you cannot remember the Lord. We have refused to help the poor. You are not innocent for divine anger is kindled against you.

If the Lord “divorced” the West, He would be right. (He never divorced Israel.) We have become a nation of whores. God has turn nature against the West with global warming, but she has no shame. You have done evil so the Lord will have His way.

The Lost Tribes are hidden because they sinned. The USSR fell because they lacked a god. The West saw the Soviets and chose to reject the Lord. It will fall for the same cause.

The Lord has placed souvenirs of His love and wants us to serve Him Only. I the West repents from their sins, the Wests former greatness will return. The repentance must be sincere breaking up the hardness of our hearts as John Calvin wrote latter in His “Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations: Vol I” this:

“They indeed testify by their youth that they seek God, but yet have recourse to subterfuges: and hence I have said that this passage is remarkably useful, so that we may know that God cannot be pacified by those fallacious trifles which hypocrites bring forward, but that he requires a sincere heart, and that he abominates all dissimulation.” (Pg. 209 Christian Classics Ethereal Library)

Look to preparation. God will bring judgment on the West. We need to lament for of sins because the Lord is angry with us. As a desert wind the wrath of the Holy One comes. Clean your heart of wickedness and you will be saved. When the world sees our destruction, they will know that it is because we turned from the Lord.

Americans are stupid. They comprehend nothing. The world now is without rhyme or reason. The fertile land is a desert. The land is already devastated. The army cannot stop the Almighty. In vain you seek beauty. The Messiah now comes to judge. If you search a righteous person in any western country in the poorest areas, you will find no one who is even good. They refuse to accept the Lord's lesson though His kindness or punishment. The educated elite by their education deny the Lord.

God judged Israel with Western civilization, so will the West be judged. One should ask if the Lord should pardon the West. The Lord's children have abandoned Him.  Jeremiah rightly wrote in Jeremiah 5:21, 'Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people, Who have eyes but do not see; Who have ears but do not hear. NASU. The West is so far gone, perhaps it is wrong to even pray for America.

 Clement of Alexandria wrote in his Stromateis 3.17.102. 1-3, “But it is when a man, swollen with lust, really and truly wants to go to bed with a woman not his own, that that sort of man actually becomes a wild beast.”

What are You Waiting For? (Isaiah 25-27)

 Divine Consciousness shines gloriously through His creation, casting judgment that topples even the greatest cities. Yet, the Lord hears the cries of the impoverished, offering refuge to the beggar in her suffering. Like a relentless drought, the Almighty subdued Israel's foes. Through Him, all can be made new as St. Jerome wrote in his “Commentary on Isaiah: Book 8,” 'Moreover, “they will be anointed with anointment,” so  that those who have been reborn in Christ may be made into a new people.' (399  tranlated by Thomas Scheck:2015, The Newman Press)

There is coming a day when death will be no more. The Lord will wipe away our tears. Then every knee will bow to the Lord and declare Him their hope. Our strong points He will destroy. His capital will be Jerusalem where the poor will live. Open your doors to the King of Glory.

Our confidence is found in the eternal Rock of God. The just path may be hard but is smooth. Our hope must be found in the lord because he opens himself to our despair. His Name, we must desire. There is people for those who focus on the divine as Isaiah spoke in Isaiah 26:3, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”KJV

The Devil has already been defeated. In the End of Days, The Lord will feed the righteous  Satan's servant Leviathan. John Calvin taught in His “Commentary on Isaiah: volume 2,” “In this manner he intended to meet many doubts by which we are continually assailed, when God declares that he will assist us, and when we experience, on the other hand, the strength, craft, and deceitfulness of Satan.” (pg.199 Christian Classics Ethereal Library)

God loves the world but holds Israel as special. In the reign of Messiah , all people will make peace with Israel. The Lord scattered the Lost Tribes to show His greatness but One day the Tribes will come home.

Where Will You be Struck as You Stray? (Isaiah 1-5)

 Those who curse their ancestors have no room for the divine. Our foundations are deeply rooted in faith, built upon the bedrock of belief in God. The West, once established on divine principles, now turns away from the very source of its virtue. John Willis wrote in his book “Isaiah,” “ By way of contrast, God's people are insensitive as inanimate objects. The live as God had do nothing for them.” (pg. 65, Sweet Publishing;1980) Christendom has become pagan.

Oy! You have all turned into criminals, forsaking the Almighty. What was once holy has become tarnished. Even after divine retribution, the rebellion persists. The ravages of Corona have left you blind to your lingering sickness. Leprosy will claim its toll, yet you spurn the Lord's healing embrace. Homelessness devours Western cities, and immigration surges uncontrollably. Only the Jews are assured a remnant.

Listen Sodom! Do you really think the Holy One like your veneer of religiousness? He cannot stand your meaningless giving. Christmas and Easter are man mad so He despises them. True sacrifice is a repentant heart a David wrote in  Ps 51:17, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” NASU Salvation only comes by faith in the Messiah . Though Him alone you may purified from sin as Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, " Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.” NASU If you refuse, you will eat the sword.

The great cities of the West skank for new perversion but hate justice. Inflation is destroying them. Leadership has turned from His truth. Every one is taking bribes. Old line denominations have watered down Bible as St. Jerome wrote in his “Commentary on Isaiah:Book One” this:

And every teacher who turns the strictness of Scriptures into agreeableness, the strictness through which he is able to chastise his audience, and who speaks in such a way that he does not correct the hearers but delights them, he violates and corruptsthe wine of the holy Scriptures by his own meaning. (Pg. 87-88, tranlated by Thomas Scheck:2015, The Newman Press)

So, God will become our adversary. He will purify by destruction.

There is coming a final judgment and eternal peace. The whole world will come to Jerusalem to know Truth. They will call to each other to know Torah . Though divine justice peace will come as Iaiah 2:4 says this

 “And He will judge between the nations,

And will render decisions for many peoples;

And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.

 Nation will not lift up sword against nation,

And never again will they learn war. “

NASU

Even as the the UN wrote that on their wall, we should walk in the Light of the Lord. You have abandoned your people. Materialism has become your god. The Occult has replaced worship. But in that day of peace, idolatry will be lost for the Lord will destroy them. Isaiah wrote in the 2:22 of his book, “Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemed?”NASU

Listen fat Westerners and elected officials! Look at the leaders that have been elected. Their qualification is normalcy and  lack that. God has given us incompetent leaders. All people will be opressed. St. Jerome wrote in his “Commentary on Isaiah:Book 2” this:

When the youth become rules and mockers of the Lord of the kind the prophetic discourse is describing , then no order rank or age or knowledge will be preserved, but boys will rebel against old men and ignoble against nobles, and they will mutually fall. (Pg. 115 translated by Thomas Scheck:2015, The Newman Press)

 The West has fallen, as the revolted against the Glory of God. Even in this, you still can be saved. St. Jerome wrote latter in his “Commentary on Isaiah:Book 2,” “ The people who are deceived because because of simplicity and inexperience are still called the people of God and the reason they are judged is so they can be saved” (Pg.119 translated by Thomas Scheck:2015, The Newman Press)

There is a germ of holiness left. One Day is coming a day when all people will bow to Messiah. The dead will be raised and He will Judge them. Those not in the Book of Life are cast into hell.

Sin must become shocking again. Jean Cauvin wrote in his “Commentary on Isaiah: Volume I.” “But for this, they would have flattered themselves too much in their crimes, and would not have patiently listened to any instructions.” (pg 125 Christian Classics Ethereal Library) As God has blessed the West,He expects it to be holy, but it is wicked. St. Jerome wrote in his “Commentary on Isaiah:Book 2”“But God's help  is taken away from those who are unworthy in order that, since they had not perceived through his benefits, they may perceive him though his punishment.” (Pg.132 translated by Thomas Scheck:2015, The Newman Press)

There is a housing crisis caused by the greed of speculators against the poor. God will bring them to ruin. Work will become dross. This is how the Tribes were Lost. The Lord institutes what is righteousness  and brings justice. The great cites of the West are ruined. Cursed is everyone who blesses transgender, homosexuality, pork or anything else the Lord condemns. Oy! Alcohol is the hero.

This is why everything is going bad. Groceries are higher because you rejected the Law of the Lord. God brought global warming. The enemies against the West have endurance because the Lord has blessed them.

Does the Covenant's return result in blessings or consequences? (2 Samuel 6-7)

 When we invoke the divine, we must do do in the proper way. We must never take God for granted. We must carry the Lord in us. Paul Evans wrote in his book “1-2 Samuel,” “Modern Christians often so emphasize God's love and forgiveness that we forget God is not safe.”( Pg.354, Zondervan; 2018) To invoke the Holy One , we must approach with holiness sanctifying ourselves to the Lord.  

It is easy to note that houses of the the Lord do not hold the same magnificence of the greatest estates. This is meant to be as one up ward instead of earthly magistracy. We try to create an image of the Lord in our minds. That is sin, for the Lord raised us up to where we are.. John Goldingay wrote in his book “1&2 for Everyone,” “God's problem with us is that we like to tie God down, keep God under control. We don't want God on the loose. God likes to be on the loose.” (Pg. 134, Westminster John Knox Press:2011)

The Lord wants to live among us. The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. He made King David glorious for out of him came the Messiah. When the Messiah rules , Israel will dwell in peace.

The Holy One chooses the lesser things to have greatness. Man is small there is nothing like the Lord. May the Lord bring peace in our time.

How long Will the Weep? (I Samuel 16-18

 There is a point that after rejecting the Lord too many times that there is no more grace . Our choice to reject the Almighty is our condemnation. Alec Motyer wrote in his book “The Message of the Exodus: the Days of our Pilgrimage,” “The price we pay is that every choice, for good or ill, goes to fashioning our characters, and whether in the long or short term—or both—makes us answerable to the Judge of all the earth.” (Pg. 122; InterVarsity Press, 2005)

God will choose people who have a heart for Him. He com to all men in peace, but some seek a quarrel against the Holy One. When we are blinded by sorrow , we cannot see the Lord's choice. His heart seeks those who love Him regardless of appearance as 1 Sam 16:6-7 states this:

'But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”'NASU

In an enthralling cosmic drama, when humanity turns its back on the Divine, an extraordinary sequence of events unfolds. The Almighty, in a display of both wrath and love, sends trials and tribulations not as punishment, but as a clarion call to return to His embrace. Yet, in their quest for escape, humans embrace distractions, unwittingly nurturing the very force destined to usurp their place in the grand design.

This saga unfolds on an individual battlefield where every soul confronts its demons—challenges that seem insurmountable, yet are more brittle than they appear, a testament to the deceiver's guile. The serpent's armor, gleaming with false invincibility, serves not as protection but as a taunt to those it seeks to intimidate. Amidst this turmoil, a profound truth emerges: the battle is not ours to fight alone, for it belongs to the Lord. He, in His infinite wisdom, wields our talents as instruments of His divine will, weaving our actions into a tapestry that reveals His glory.

The unveiling of God's magnificence disrupts the equilibrium, confronting all with a choice—embrace the divine or stand in opposition. Success, when bestowed by the Lord, stirs envy in the hearts of those cast aside, a divine strategy that ignites a yearning for what they have lost. The Spirit of God, once gentle and comforting, now becomes an unstoppable force, demanding decision.

In this celestial journey, a true servant of God emerges, choosing the path of honor, even when faced with hatred. This narrative is not just a tale of conflict and redemption; it's a reflection on the power of faith, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unfathomable depths of divine love. It's a reminder that in the grand chessboard of existence, each move we make is guided by a hand far greater than our own, leading us towards a destiny filled with purpose and light.

How does Leadership have its Relationship with God? ( 1 Samuel 1-3

 What only God can give should be our hearts desire. Honoring the Holy one is the first step in grace and comfort. Love cannot replace pain in the soul. Encouraging word only fex whom the Lord has not blessed. The answer is to seek the Lord alone as Paul Evens wrote in “1-2 Samuel,” “It is about those who realize they are in total reliance upon God and his grace.” (Pg. 45, 2018; Zondervan)

In our land of perversion, the righteous are called evil. The Lord will not despise a pure heart. When we pay our vows to the Lord, He gives us grace.  We find joy for the Lord is our reliance. The hand of the Most High is open to give what only He can give. Our salvation is in the Messiah alone.

We live in a world were even religious leaders are corrupt. That which is meant for the Lord is stolen. God has called each of us to stand for Him as a light in the darkness  of this present age as Rabbi Elie Mischel wrote in the article “Jews in the Pews” for the Israel Bible.

“God established the priesthood to ensure that there would always be people dedicated to helping the masses draw close to Him. But when the establishment itself becomes corrupt, “regular” people like Samuel must stand up and challenge it to ensure the establishment is purified and serves its true purpose. Merely being a priest, a descendant of Aaron, is not enough; priests must live and act with holiness.” (February 8, 2024  https://theisraelbible.com/jews-in-the-pews-rise-up/ Nov 16, 2023)

The Almighty speaks rarely so we must be ready to listen. If we are faithful in small things, He will give us greater things. God makes His will known though divine serenity, the Lord has seen the wickedness in our land and will judge.

What describes the Cyclical Pattern of Disobedience, oppression, repentance, and deliverance?(Judges 1-2)

 When we lose a mediator on earth, our purpose becomes disrupted, but we must always follow the Lord as our leader.  Without unity, we are scatter to act in the law of reprisal. The Lord has called us to a work so that accepting the ways of sin destroys our hope. Then, we become the ungodly.

We are quick to forget the power of the divine when we start succeeding in our own strength. Without the Hand of God, we will fail. Our children are no longer precious to us. Sinning, we work with evil.

In our sin, the Messiah comes down to us. He reminds us of our redemption. The Lord has made a covenant and will not forsake us so we should never ally with evil. Because we have united with evil the Lord will no dive it out completely until the End of Days. Repentance must fallow confrontation of sin.

When a generation comes, that does not know God, they serve reason and their own desire.  They abandon the God of their fathers. The Holy One will smite them. If they repent, the might be delivered.

Chazak! (Joshua 1-3)

 Be honest! Despite the fact that Moses, our esteemed rabbi and the unparalleled leader who guided us out of Egypt, has departed from this earthly realm, the sacred Torah that the Lord bestowed upon him remains an eternal beacon of wisdom and guidance. It is incumbent upon each successive generation to embrace, study, and live according to these divine teachings, ensuring that the spiritual legacy of Moses continues to illuminate our paths and shape our destinies. As the Lord was with Moses, He is with us. John Calvin in his “Commentary on Joshua” wrote this:

“And in fact, the distrust which arises from anxiety kindles in us such tumultuous feelings that on the least appearance of danger, we turmoil and miserably torment ourselves until we feel assured that God both will be with us and more than suffice for our protection. And, indeed, while he prescribes no other cure for our timidity, he reminds us that we ought to be satisfied with his present aid.”(Pg. 15 Christian Classics Ethereal Library

We must embrace divine blessings.  Complacency looses the potential riches that the Lord has in store for us.  If we did not, we still need to help those who did. Only when we have rest can we then accept His blessings. We follow Torah as guild each other in fellowship.

 When the pagan sees the Lord he will either choose to fight Omnipotence or bow. Though our live, we spread Him to the the nations. Rabbi Dr. H Freedman wrote in Joshua for the book Joshua and judges this, “When Israel is fulfills the will of the Omnipotent, His Name is magnified to the world.” (Pg.9; 1950, Soncino Press) Though that, some choose to embrace our faith.

The sign of our covenant with the Lord must walk before us. Purify yourself for the Lord to walk among you. Those who honor God find honor.

Death lips demand the reverence of the Eternal’s commandments. The Terror of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fearing Him must come first before we can learn to love Him. Like “Beauty and the Beast,” love comes out of fear. We must instill such in our children so they may live in blessing.

Greater still are acts of love. There is a unity of all things but only one God. The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. We Love Him out of His Love for us. That Love is best expressed in doing His Torah. Dennis Prager wrote in his book the Rational Bible: Deuteronomy, “But love must be reflected in behavior. We are therefore to live according to His commandments.” (pg. 2; 2022   Regnery)

The condition of our lives should bring the love of the Lord to others. As much as we keep Torah, It keeps us. We must keep reminders to walk in faith. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki’s new book, Verses for Zion  “If we make conscious choices to govern our behavior by faith in God, the result is that we will begin to see the world through eyes that reflect that faith.”

Only by the power of the Lord can we accomplish anything. When we are full, we often forget the blessing of the divine. Then, especially we must reverence the Lord. God has a jealous desire for you. His judgment is real and He will destroy unrighteousness. Do what is right and He may create a holy possession making our countries great again.

 When someone wonders about the Lord's legitimacy in making such requests, our response is that He granted us freedom. In each generation, we have seen the “sea split” and many other miracles. The laws He has given us are for our own benefit. We find happiness in serving the Lord.There is no room for giving the Glory of God to anything else. To fallow the Lord, we must only yoke ourselves to the Children of the Lord, so we may dive each other to good works. John Calvin preached in his sermon “On Thursday, the first of August 1555 The 51st Sermon which is the first upon the seventh Chapter,”

“You shall resemble your heavenly father (says our Lord Jesus Christ) who causes his day sun to rise both upon good and bad: and therefore do good to such as are not worthy of it. Seeing that GOD has not a better reason to persuade us to show mercy, than by showing us what he himself does: it seems not in any wise convenient, that he should provoke us to cruelty.”

The Lord did not choose the Jews for their greatness, but so His greatness could be seen in them. God keeps His covenent with this who love Him. Atheism steals God's glory, which is why their societies fail. Fertility is promised to those keep His Torah.

What is the Journey from Slavery to Redemption? (Exodus 1-3)

 We have forgotten our godly heritage. The mercy of God is foreign to us. Denis Pragur wrote in his book The Rational Bible Exodus, “A nation that doesn't remember its past, like the man who fell on his head, ceases to be the nation it was.” (pg. 2; 2018   Regnery) The West no longer exists as Christendom.

Abortion is the greatest crime of our generation. It is a genocide of innocence to promote greed. Wise women have risen up in every generation to preserve and protect that life. God's laws trump man's laws for the Holy will bless those was fallow Him. Powerful men cannot abide with life so the seek to destroy childhood.

In every generation the Almighty raises up a person to fight the wickedness. This is aided by the faith of those who surround the holy hero as  Heb 11:23 declares, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.” NASU  “The Birth of Moses” in “Exodus” in the Zohar declares, “When the body of a righteous hero is born in this world the Blessed Holy One summons Gabriel who carries the soul-breath from the Garden and bring her down to born into this world.” (pg.99 Trans. Daniel Chanan Matt, Paulist Press 1983)

Redemption cannot come though man's strength alone. Denis Prager wrote later in “The Rational Bible: Genesis,” “While faith without works is dead, works without faith faith ultimately die.” (180 Pg.) The brashness of man does not do the work of God. Rather, redemption is found though at though the divine as Hudson Taylor said, “God's work done God's way will never lack God's supply.”

The Lord hears our suffering. When wickedness is full , the Holy One judges. He is our deliver.The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. 

In Exodus, a tale unfolds,

A journey ancient, yet untold.

Five chapters deep, the story weaves,

A people's plight, their hopes it cleaves.

 

Chapter one begins the strife,

A land in bondage, a bitter life.

Israel in Egypt, enslaved they stand,

The Pharaoh's grip, an iron hand.

 

Chapter two, a child is born,

A Hebrew babe, amidst the scorn.

Moses, chosen, set to be,

A leader strong, to set them free.

 

Chapter three, a burning bush,

God's voice, a call, a sacred hush.

"I am who I am," the words declare,

Moses chosen, a burden to bear.

 

Chapter four, with staff in hand,

Moses fears, can he withstand?

Signs and wonders, God bestows,

A shepherd called, to lead and close.

 

Chapter five, the Pharaoh's wrath,

As Moses seeks to clear the path.

Bricks and mortar, burdens weigh,

Israel's cry, to God convey.

 

Exodus unfolds in chapters five,

A saga written, alive and rife.

The journey long, the struggle real,

Yet hope prevails, God's plan to seal.

Where is Hidden Intimacy? (Leviticus 1-2, 11)

 The Lord wants to have a relationship with us. Only through connection to our Atonement, as Lev 1:4 states, “He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.” NASU This is found only in the precious blood of Yeshua. Avivah Zornberg wrote in her book “The Hidden Order of Intimacy: reflections on the Book of Leviticus,”  “ Such a scenario ultimately blurs the difference between the Lover and beloved. One is both inside and outside, subject and object; the decorums of the social word are transcended.” (pg. 8, New York:Schocken Books, 2022)

All people must give of their best to the Lord regardless of their finances. Our love is sweet to the Lord. He wants our heart. King David wrote in Ps 51:17, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” NASU

The expression of intimacy with the Lord is a set apart life. Our souls can not consume pork. Avivah Zornberg wrote latter in her book “The Hidden Order of Intimacy: reflections on the Book of Leviticus,” “Although this purification of their spiritual being involves the body, these laws governing impure  food and sexual practices are primarily intended to treat the soul.” (pg. 164 New York:Schocken Books, 2022) We consume and what we do in the bedroom is an expression of our faith.

What is expression? (Genesis 1-2)

 Redemption comes from the very beginning. Chaos gave way to divine order. The Light of Lord came into the world, so if people seek that Light they may see the Lord. God created good. The “good” give us hope of salvation. Denis Prager wrote in his “The Rational Bible Genesis” this:

“ That the world God created is good gives all of us who believe in the Bible optimism, even when our life is troubled. Ultimately, this world is good, and good will eventually prevail (here or in an afterlife).”  (Pg. 17, 2019:Regnery) 

Heaven is a place of abundance, serenity, and purity. Therefore, it is often associated with the concept of heaven. People associate water in heaven with crystal clear streams and majestic rivers, believing it to be serene and pure. People say that it possesses healing properties, rejuvenating and restoring those who come into contact with it.

The tranquil sounds of gentle waves and cascading waterfalls create a soothing atmosphere, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility to all who reside in this divine realm. God gives us rain to show his love for u sand point us to the Living Water.  We lack His water because we need to as The Israel Bible wrote on Genesis 1:12, “Since Hashem desires a deep relationship with man, He incorporated the need for prayer, the ultimate form of dialogue between man and God, within the natural order.”

The Lord wrote His words in the sky. The stars reveal the Ways of the divine, so no one can claim ignorance. John Calvin wrote in his “First Volume of the Five Books of Moses” Volume I, “Lastly since the Spirit of God here opens a common school for all, it is not surprising that he should chiefly choose those subjects which would be intelligible to all.” (PG. 47 Christian Classics Ethereal Library ) God made Seasons to mark the Moedim.

The Lord created the Sabbath as He created Israel. It is a “Holy Land” in Time-Space dedicated to His Holiness. we find our rest in the work of Messiah as Hebrews 4:11 states “ Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.” NASU

God spoke all creation, except for Adam. He was a golem with a soul. In the darkest moments of despair, where isolation consumes the soul, one may find themselves in their own personal hell. The feeling of loneliness, like an endless abyss, torments the mind and drains the spirit of hope. But just when all seems lost, a divine intervention occurs. God, in His infinite mercy and love, reaches out to deliver the suffering soul from their solitary existence. Like a guiding light in the darkness, God’s presence brings comfort, solace, and the promise of companionship.

No longer alone, the once tormented individual finds themselves embraced by a divine presence, providing the warmth and connection they longed for. In this divine intervention, God’s love dispels the haunting shadows of loneliness, offering a newfound sense of belonging and purpose. As the Messiah was wounded in the side, God took Eve from adam’s side. Women are a different creature than men but equivalent. Gen. Rabbah 17:3, Pirkei d’Rabbi Eliezer , ch. 12 says  “If he is worthy, she will be a helpmate. If he is not worthy, she will be against him, to fight him.” — [from. See also Yev. 63a]
