Keys. To understand The Good Book.

His Beauty is Our Beauty

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!   Psa 133;1

And let the beauty of Adonai Eloheynu be upon us: and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, 

establish the work of our hands.  Psa 90;17

 The same word; נָּעִים - נֹעַם is translated as pleasant and as beauty.  

Romans chapters nine to eleven are about the reunion of the two houses of Israel.  Romans chapter twelve leads us then deeper into that Beauty-Pleasantness with the seven types of people who only find their true place together; a reflection of The Maker's face on earth. 

Seven types; compared to parts of the body, these teach dependancy for unity (Beauty and Pleasantness).  He has not put all of His abilities/attributes into each of us but spread them out; none with the monopoly.  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same “function”.   (Please note this is not Paul’s list of Jobs/Ministries which any of us may be called to do at one time or another.  Nor is it Paul’s list of tools of the Ruach we may all learn to use.  Instead it is “who we are”.)  

Some are elevated in certain cultures or circles and some despised, but all have their place and the goal is to have each part working as one.  As in the cursed-creation, there are some more prey-like and some are predator-like which will only find the Isaiah 11-peace in the restoration.

This unity is not possible while ignorance of these differences remain.  Where ambition and fear rule there will be no beauty.  

Therefore, I beseech you brethren, that you present yourselves sacrificially.........Romans 12;1

To deny the differences is to surely persecute the differences. 

To perpetuate the domination of certain “types” of people who think they have a monopoly on truth and understanding will mean more trouble and ugliness inevitably.  In this ignorance we either project our own weaknesses onto others or presume we understand when we don’t.  Like at the tower of Babel we would be left in confusion repeating the same old “church” or “business” traditions and patterns, alienating members of our own body.  

Most don’t yet know that Romans chapter twelve lists the seven gifts (verses 6-8), then their strengths (9-15) and then their potential weaknesses (16-21).  This revelation gives us the wisdom to partly explain and deal with the tensions that exist between us.  This is a key placed in the right spot to bring good fruit in our Nation and in our families.  

“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function”...............differences. 

There are differences that exist in the body of messiah.  The unity of that body is hindered by those who “think of themselves more highly than they ought”.   Instead if we each think ourselves “with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of trust YHWH has distributed to each of us”, we will see the “behold how beautiful it is when brethren dwell together in heavenly unity”.

It has been tradition for those trying to be the “body of messiah” to make frankensteins.   Parts of the body missing or deformed.  It is as if “self-harm” has been decreed up till now as part of the curses for not listening and doing YHWH’s torah.  When the enemy comes to us, we flee in seven different directions.  The disunity is when a “group” dominates, even with the best intensions, from ignorance of these seven differences Paul is teaching us. 

1 Corinthians 12;15   If the foot says, “Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body”; is it therefore not of the body?

Exodus 34;6-7  And YHWH passed by before him, and proclaimed, YHWH, YHWH El merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, till the third and to the fourth generation.

• YHWH-Yireh —  ....will Provide (Genesis 22:13–14)
• YHWH-Rapha —  ....that Heals (Exodus 15:26)
• YHWH-Niss"i — ....our Banner (Exodus 17:8–15)
• YHWH-Shalom — ....our Peace (Judges 6:24)
• YHWH-Ro'i — ....my Shepherd (Psalm 23)
• YHWH-Tsidkenu — ....our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6)

• YHWH-Shammah — ....is Present (Ezekiel 48:35)

The beauty of the living Elohim is in the perfect tension between All His Attributes.   

May that beauty be upon us!

Ok. Here is the great story of the bible condensed right down.

The Maker chose Abraham to start a nation to reflect His beauty. There were problems from the start because Abraham tried to help The Maker by having a child called Ismael by natural means. No miracles were needed but this was not the son they were promised and many troubles came because of this. The miracle finally happened and his name was Isaac. Only one of Isaac’s sons inherited the promise of being the special nation; he is called Israel. Israel had twelve sons. They were all saved from a great famine by going to Egypt where Joseph, one of the twelve was sent ahead, ready to receive them with plentiful supplies. A few generations later, having multiplied lots, they became oppressed slaves. Through Moses, The Maker sent ten terrible plagues which forced people to choose to be either counted with Israel or on Pharaoh’s side. They were rescued wonderfully and were promised the land of Canaan as a home. If they followed The Maker's instructions it would go amazingly well for them. If not, they would end up being kicked out into the nations for a very long time. At Israel’s height there was a good King called David who listened to the Maker. Here is where the plot thickens; after David died the nation was split into two parts! The northern part eventually, because they kept refusing to follow The Maker's instructions, went off as prisoners to Assyria and then later wandered off deeper into obscurity - we will leave that there to gain some suspense! The southern part (now called the Jews) themselves shortly after went into captivity in Babylon - we can follow their story as they never lost their identity. It is through the Jewish part of Israel we received Messiah and the instruction/story book intact.

Because the hope of the restoration of Israel was delayed, many looked elsewhere for their hope, taking some of the things Messiah said and fitted them into a different hope of a “less earthly” kingdom. This distorting of all the promises robbed them of much understanding about what is going on “down here”. By this they separated themselves from Israel in their minds and made up something else called “church” (though the word always used to describe a gathering of the people of the Maker - k’hal/congregation - was always only used for the nation of Israel). This new group teach people that they no longer need to follow The Maker's instructions, which they say were never even possible to keep. They pick and choose which commandments/instructions are still valid. Many of them also hope to be beamed up before the big predicted trouble comes.

Meanwhile here on earth......Israel is awaiting the great promise of being brought home AFTER this time of trouble (just like it was after the plagues in Egypt when they left). It will be trouble like there has never been before or never will be again. Now, you need to know that the foundation of Islamic belief is that Israel was rejected permanently and now they get to rule the world through force. This detail sets the stage for the last few years of trouble which come before the great restoration where the two parts of Israel are joined back together with a big celebration! Messiah will unite both parts of the nation. The revealing of Joseph, ooops, I mean The northern part of Israel (wink wink nudge nudge),..... is the biggest twist in the book!

Through Messiah we can be forgiven for our sins (i.e. for not following The Maker's instructions) and be joined back into the nation of Israel which will soon, once again, reflect His beauty here on EARTH by keeping all the instructions, with a soft heart. These instructions are described as life throughout the good book!

What a wonderful story which is right now reaching such a climax. 

Lost and Found: Joseph repeated.

Can these bones live?                                                              O Master YHWH, you know.

Bones shaking in Welsh hills.
The Resurrection and the light.
Hebridean rumblings, more flesh on bone.
Patient preparations for The Great Revealing.
Joseph's ripening sheaves.

L.A, Moriah Loughor or wherever :
You know we'll leave these green and pleasant lands?!





Am Yisrael Chai.

I love to sing to YHWH.

It is normal, good, logical, etc to thank The Maker, and to do it passionately. 

It makes sense.

We were made to share His life and to enjoy Him and serve Him forever!

We were all made to do the same in our own peculiar way.

When we sing to Him, about Him and what He has done, we come into truth on many levels.
His goodness demands a response.  He just is Good so we need to thank Him.

Thanking Him for: Food and Shelter, His Creation, Help, Messiah, the promise of a happy ending for this earth under His Torah and rule, His Beauty and His other characteristics, the reason why evil happens, etc etc etc.

To not thank and praise Him is to act out a lie.  It is unthinkable.

(If The Maker is not good, great, truthful,   don't bother praising Him, but He has proved His nature to many generations).

HalleluYah 

Whispered words - Be Unsettled

Whispered words raise me, lukewarm to hot.

Quantum change from slave to son.

Coming whether your are ready or not.

Ambiguity melting, evaporating.

Stark battle lines.

I’m vibrating at the frequency that moves mountains.

His doing. His timing.

Tipping the scales till naturalist won’t think it natural.

Disaster plagues them, to let us go.

A lifetime of failed word combinations.

Yet the door swings open freely.

Time-lock activated resurrection.

Second Exodus a twist in the Book.

Who are you?

Where is your home?

Are you ready?

Be Unsettled

Adding or Taking away.

Some added, burdening hearts with a yoke not made to bear.  Some took away, making it sound wrong to please The King.

It is written that after a time of good, we would stop following The Maker's Instructions and taste pain.  This pain would ultimately culminate in exile rejection for a set time.  This set time would involve blindness to The Way.

In the name of Messiah it was taught that we should no longer Follow The Maker's Instructions!  This is blindness.  The set time is coming to an end.......Time to turn back to The Good Maker who we can trust, and listen and do all that He says.

The time for the restoration of His set apart nation is near.

Am Yisrael Chai (The whole house of Israel LIVE)
