    The East-West Contiuum

    It was dawn. We were watching the sun rise over the desert landscape.
"Kedem," said the teacher. "It's Hebrew for east, a most critical direction."
"Why?" I asked.
"The Temple of Jerusalem was built according to the kedem. It had to face the east. The altar of the sacrifice was at its easternmost end. The holy of holies was at its westernmost end. Everything else was in between. So everything in the Temple existed on an east-west continuum. Everything that took place in the Temple took place on an east-west continuum. Most importantly, on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, the sins of Israel were atoned for, removed from the people, on an east-west continuum. The high priest would offer up the sacrifice in the east, and then sprinkle the blood on the ark of the covenant in the west. He would journey back and forth on an east-west continuum. And the closing act of the day would see the sins of the people symbolically removed from the west to the east."
"But why is that more significant than if it was a north-south continuum?"
"Because," said the teacher, "the earth is a sphere ... and it turns on its axis on an east-west continuum. Therefore, the earth has a north pole and a south pole, but no east or west pole."
"I still don't understand."
"How far is the north from the south?" he asked. "Since there are two poles, the distance is limited. All north comes to an end at the North Pole. And all south ends at the South Pole. If the Temple had been built on a north-south continuum, then sin would have been removed a few thousand miles from the sinner. But how far is the east from the west? East and west have no poles. Therefore, they never end. East and west are infinite. They go on forever. In fact, the Hebrew word for the east, kedem, also means everlasting."
"But back then no one knew the earth was a sphere."
"God did. And all this is a shadow of the atonement of Messiah, our salvation. So in Messiah, how far does God remove your sins from you? An infinity away ... an eternity away. And if you had all eternity, you could never find them again. As it is written, 'So far has He removed our sins away from us ... as far as the east is from the west.'" The Mission: Today, take time to ponder and take in the love of God that removed your sins as far as the east is from the west - and live accordingly.

    "Define love," said the teacher.
"Love is to want the best for another," I replied.
"Yes," he said. "And to put it another way, love is to put yourself in the place of another, to feel their feelings, walk in their shoes, weep with their tears, rejoice in their joys, take upon yourself their burdens, and give to them your life."
"I like that."
"The Scriptures declare that God is love," he said. "If God is love, He must be the greatest love, the ultimate love. Do you believe God loves us?"
"I do."
"Then what must love do?"
"Love must put itself in the place of another."
"So what would be the greatest possible manifestation of love?"
"That God ... would put Himself in the place of another?"
"And how would that actually manifest? What would be the greatest manifestation of love?"
"God would have to put Himself in our place ... He would have to walk in our shoes."
"Yes, and feel our feelings."
"And cry our tears."
"And take upon Himself our burdens," he said, "and our judgment ... and our death, to save us, to give us life. He would give His life."
"Then if God is love," I said, "that's what He would do."
"Then," said the teacher, "the greatest possible manifestation of love has already manifested ... on our planet. God putting Himself in our place. And so there is no greater love you could ever know," he said. "When you feel it and when you don't, it's there nonetheless. We cannot change it - we can only receive it and be changed by it. We can only let it change us. For the greatest possible love has already been manifested. God has come down. It is only for us to receive it and to do likewise." The Mission: Today, practice the divine and cosmic love. Put yourself in the place of another - your feet in their shoes, your heart in their heart.

    The Serpent's Blood

    "Do you see it?" asked the teacher.
"Behind the rock," I replied.
It was a snake, brown and black, and slithering in the desert sand.
"What do you know about snakes?" he asked.
"I know to avoid them."
"Nothing more?"
"Not much."
"What you should know is that snakes are cold-blooded."
"Why is that important?"
"You're warm-blooded. And because you're warm-blooded, you can run and keep running. But a snake, being cold-blooded, is limited in its ability to endure, to keep going. Therefore, you can outlast it."
"That's good to know," I replied.
"In the Scriptures, the serpent is a symbol of evil."
"Why is that?"
"Not because snakes are evil in themselves but because they provide a representation of evil. They often move by twisting. And so the nature of evil is to twist. A lie is the twisting of the truth. The impure is the twisting of the pure. And evil, itself, is the twisting of the good."
"So then if snakes are cold-blooded, then, so, in some way, is evil?"
"Yes," said the teacher. "Evil is cold-blooded. What that means is this: Though evil may have its day, its victories, its time to move and strike - it remains cold-blooded. Therefore, it can never endure. No matter how powerful the evil may appear, no matter how triumphant and unstoppable it may seem, it cannot last. Deception is cold-blooded. Hatred is cold-blooded. Slander is cold-blooded. Oppression is cold-blooded. All evil is cold-blooded. And so the power of evil is only for the short-term and the momentary. Its days are always numbered. And in the long run, it always fails."
"But the good is not cold-blooded," I said.
"Yes," he said. "So, in the end, the good will always outlast the evil. Therefore, persevere in the good, keep going in what is true, keep standing for what is right, and you will overcome and prevail in the end." The Mission: In the face of whatever evil, trouble, attack, or sin you're dealing with, don't give in. Don't give up. But press on in the good.

"What words come to your mind," said the teacher, "when you look at the desert wilderness?"
"Dry ...barren ...hot ...austere ...severe ...hard ...forbidding ..."
"And when people go through hard times - times of loss, crisis, tragedy, loneliness, conflict, hardship, problems, separation, tears - they speak of going through the wilderness. And yet the wilderness is a holy place. It was in a desert wilderness that God gave His Law, His Word, and where He revealed His presence. The wilderness is holy."
"So the hard times in our lives are holy?"
"For those who are His children, yes."
"How so?"
"In Hebrew, the wilderness is called the midbar. Midbar comes from the root ward dabar. And dabar means to speak. What is the wilderness? It is the midbar. And what is the midbar? It is the place of God's speaking, the place of His voice. It's where God especially talks to us. Why did He bring His people into the wilderness, into the midbar? So He could speak to them. He brought Moses into the midbar to speak to him in a still, small voice. So too He brings us into the wilderness that He might speak to us."
"What is it about the wilderness that makes it the place of God's speaking?"
"Look around you," he said. "What do you see?"
"Rock, sand, mountains - not much."
"That's why," said the teacher. "God speaks, but we don't hear. We have too many distractions. But in the wilderness the distractions are gone. So God brings us to the wilderness that we might hear His voice. Therefore, do not fear or despise the wilderness of your life, and don't despise His removing of the distractions. Rather embrace it. Draw closer to Him. And listen to what He is saying. Seek to hear His voice, and you will hear Him. For the wilderness in your life is not just a wilderness. It is holy ground ...the midbar ...the place of His voice." The Mission: Put away the distractions, those things that keep you from hearing.

    The Power of the Yud

    The teacher led me out into the desert ravine where we sat down in the sand, face-to-face. He picked up a stick and, with the slightest of movements, created the smallest of marks in the sand.
"This can change your life," he said.
"An apostrophe?"
"A yud."
"What's a yud?"
"A yud is a letter, the smallest of Hebrew letters ...barely more than a dot, so small you could miss it. From the yud came the Roman letters I and J. And from the yud came the Greek letter iota."
"As in 'not one iota.'"
"Yes, or as in 'not one jot.' It all comes from the same tiny letter."
"So it's the smallest of letters. Why is it significant?"
"That's the point ...as the smallest of letters, it is most significant. It is the yud that begins the greatest and most sacred of Hebrew words: The sacred Name of God, YHVH, begins with a yud. The land of God, Israel, begins with a yud. The City of God, Jerusalem, begins with the yud. And the name Jesus, in Hebrew, begins, as well, with a yud."
"And what does it all mean?"
"The greatest of words begin with the smallest of letters. In the same way, the greatest works of God begin with the smallest of strokes. Life itself begins on a scale so small, it can't even be seen. It's the secret of the yud."
"And how does one apply it?"
"We are called to the new and to change. But by nature we avoid both newness and change. So how do you change? How do you go from a life of failure to a life of victory? It's an overwhelming prospect. How do you do it? With the yud. You start by taking the yud of steps, the smallest of steps but toward the greatest of changes. You don't start out with a great victory, but you take the yud, one small action, one little step toward the great victory. You take that one step, the yud of courage, that iota of change, the smallest stroke of new beginnings, the yud of life you're called to live. You begin the greatest of things with the smallest of strokes. You begin by applying the secret of the yud." The Mission: Today, take the smallest of actions, but in a new direction, the first step toward the life of victory you're called to live - the yud of a new journey.

    On our journey to the city, we stopped on a nearby hill.
"Look," said the teacher, pointing to an event at the city's edge.
"It looks like a wedding," I replied, "or the preparation for a wedding." The bride, in a white gown, was standing in a garden with her bridesmaids.
"You're watching a cosmic mystery, the shadow of a mystery. Existence," he said, "is a love story ...or was meant to be a love story. The bride is a picture of what we each were created to be."
"I don't understand."
"We were each created to be the bride. That's why we can never be complete in ourselves. That's why, deep down, in the center of our being, in the deepest part of our heart, we seek to be filled. For the bride is made to be married. So we can never find our completion until we are joined to Him who is beyond us. And that is why we go through our lives trying to join ourselves..."
"Join ourselves to what?"
"To that which we think will fill the longing of our hearts-to people, success, possessions, achievements, money, comfort, acceptance, beauty, romance, family, power, a movement, a goal, and any multitude of things. For the bride was created to be married, and she can never rest until she is."
"So none of the other things can work?"
"No. None of the other things are the Bridegroom."
"And who is the Bridegroom?"
"The Bridegroom is God, the One for whom we were created."
"So we have to find Him."
"More than that," he said. "A bride doesn't just find the Bridegroom; she marries Him. So it's not enough to find God; you must marry Him."
"Marry God? How?"
"By joining every part of your life and being-your deepest parts, your heart, your soul, your wounds, your longings, your desires, everything-to God. Only then can you be complete. Only then can your deepest needs and longings be fulfilled. For the mystery of our hearts is the mystery of the bride. And the bride can only find her completion in the Bridegroom. And the Bridegroom of our souls ...is God." The Mission: Put away anything that substitutes for His presence, and join all that you are, your deepest parts, to your Bridegroom.

    Appointing Your Days

    We've spoken of the year before you," said the teacher. "Today we will speak of the days before you. What will the days yet to come bring to your life?"
"How could I know that?" I replied. "I don't really have a say in the matter."
"But what if you did?"
"How?"
"It is written, 'Teach us to number our days.' What does that mean?"
"That our days are limited, and so it's wise to number them."
"That's correct," he said. "And it's the first meaning of the Scripture. But in the original language is a secret. And this secret can change your life, the days of your life. In the Hebrew it says, 'Teach us to manah our days.' The same word, manah, appears in the Book of Jonah where it is written that God manahs a fish, a worm, and a wind."
"Then manah must mean more than number."
"It does. It means to prepare and to appoint. So you must not only number your days, you must learn to prepare your days, to appoint your days."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you're not just to watch and wait passively to see what your days will bring. You're to prepare them."
"How can I prepare my days before they happen?"
"How did the first days happen in the beginning? They didn't just happen. Before they existed, God prepared them. He appointed them. He purposed them. So if you're a child of God, you must do likewise."
"How?"
"Prayer."
"Praying for days that don't yet exist?"
"Prayer isn't only for what is, but for what is not yet."
"But I can't determine what will happen."
"It doesn't matter what happens. You appoint your days in God to bring what is good. You consecrate them for the purposes of God. And then you use your days to accomplish those purposes. Don't let your days determine your life. Let your life determine your days. And don't just let your days go by. Prepare them, that they might become vessels of blessing and life. Appoint your days."

    He took me to an open desert plain. It was a windy day, so windy it was almost violent.
"Come," said the teacher. He was asking me to walk against the wind's blowing. So I did.
"What is it like to walk against the wind?" he asked.
"It's a struggle," I replied.
"In the language of Scripture," he said, "the word for wind is ruach. But it has another meaning; it also means the Spirit. In Hebrew, the Holy Spirit is the Holy Wind. So what happens if you walk against the wind?"
"It creates drag. It becomes harder to walk and you get tired."
"In the same way," he said, "when you walk against the Spirit, it creates a drag on your life. Everything you do becomes harder. It takes more energy to do less. So when you go against His Spirit, you're fighting against the Wind. And you can't walk against the direction of the Wind without getting weary and worn out."
"And what way is the direction of the Wind, the Spirit?"
"The Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it blows in the direction of the holy, and blows against the direction of the unholy. Now try something else. Turn around and walk back, the same way you came."
So I did. I was now walking in the direction of the wind's blowing.
"And what was that like?" he asked.
"It was much easier," I said.
"That's because there was no drag," he said. "You were walking in the direction of the wind. And the wind helped you walk. It moved you ahead. It made your walking easier. So when you walk against the wind, it creates drag. But if you turn around, then the wind gives you power. So it is with the Spirit. If you turn, if you change your course, if you repent, if you walk in the Spirit, then the drag will dissappear. Then the Spirit will empower you and will move you forward. And then everything you do, that you must do, will become easier."
"So if you walk in the Spirit," I said, "life will go from being a drag to a breeze."
"Yes," said the teacher. "For those who walk in the Spirit, the Wind is at their back."The Mission: What part of your life is against the direction of the Spirit?

    He came to me at night.
"What is a year?" asked the teacher.
"Three hundred sixty-five days," I answered.
"But in the holy language of Scripture it's more than that. It's called the shannah …and it contains a secret. The word shannah is linked to the number two."
"I don't get the connection."
"Shannah can mean the second, the duplicate, or the repeat. In the course of nature the year is the repeating of what has already been ...the winter, the spring, the summer, and the fall, the blossoming of flowers and their withering away, the rebirth of nature and its dying, the same progression, the same replaying of what already was. So a year is a shannah, a repetition. And now you have a new year before you. And what kind of year will it be?"
"What do you mean?"
"The nature of nature is to repeat, just as we live, by nature, as creatures of habit. We gravitate toward doing that which we've done before, the same routines and courses, even when those routines and courses are harmful to us. So what will the shannah, this new year, be for you?"
"Well if the year means repeat, I guess I don't have much of a choice. It will mostly be the same as the one before."
"But you do have a choice," he said. "You see, shannah has a double meaning. It not only means the repeat ...it also means the change."
"How can the same word mean the opposite?"
"The same way the year ahead of you can be either. The way of the world is to repeat, but the way of God is the way of newness and change. You can't know God and not be changed by knowing Him. And His will is that the year, the shannah ahead, be not a time of repetition but of change, of new beginnings, new steps, of breaking out of the old. And if you want to experience a year of new things, you must choose to live not in the repetition of the natural, but in the newness of the supernatural. Choose to walk not in your will but in the will of Him who is beyond the natural and beyond all that is old. As it is written, He makes all things new. Open up your life to the newness of His will, and you will walk in the newness of life and in the shannah of change." The Mission: Today, step out of your old ways, habits, and steps.

    It was by the second day that I realized that there would be no set time for the teacher's coming. He came in the afternoon.
"Do you know the Name of God?" asked the teacher.
"I don't know that I do."
"It's made up of four Hebrew letters, the yud, the heh, the vav, and the heh: YHVH. It's the most sacred of names, so sacred some refuse to say it. And yet you say it all the time."
"The sacred Name of God?" I replied. "How could I when I never knew it?"
"When you speak of yourself, you say the Name."
"I don't understand."
"When you feel happy, you say, 'I am happy.' And when you're not, you say 'I am sad.' When you tell others who you are, you say, 'I am' followed by your name.
"YHVH means 'I Am.' It's the Name of the Eternal, the Name of God. His Name is I Am.
"Then we all say His Name."
"Yes. And you have always said it. It is woven into the fabric of existence that when you speak of yourself, you must say His Name."
"Why is that?"
"It's because your existence comes from His existence. He is the I Am of all existence ... the I Am of all I ams. Your I am only exists because of His I Am. And as you exist from Him, so it is only from Him that you can find the reason and purpose of your existence. Therefore, when you say your name, you must always speak His Name. And you must always speak His Name first."
"Because..."
"Because His existence is first and your existence flows forth from His. That's the flow of existence. Therefore, you must put Him first and then let everything flow from that. Let everything begin with Him and flow forth from Him. That's the secret of life. To not only live for Him, but to live your life from Him, to live from His living, to move from His moving, to act from His actions, to feel from His heart, to be from His being, and to become who you are from who He is ...

    Jonathan Cahn, who caused a national and international stir with the New York Times bestseller The Harbinger and The Mystery of the Shemitah, now brings you a treasure chest which contains some of the greatest mysteries of all time. Each day's mystery reveals a special mission to start you on a life-changing journey. Read the plan here: https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/3006 It was morning. The teacher came to my room holding a little clay jar. "A question," he said. "Can that which is little contain that which is big?"
"No," I answered.
"Can that which is finite encompass that which is infinite?"
"No," I said again.
"But it can," he replied.
"How?"
He lifted the jar and removed the cap from its top.
"It can," he said. "it can if it's an open vessel. A closed vessel can never contain anything larger than its own size. But an open vessel has no limitations. It now can contain the blowing of the wind or the outpouring of the rain. It could even contain the flowing of a river.”
"It would take a long time to contain a river."
"It could take forever, but the principle is the same."
"And the reason you're showing me this..."
"Which is larger, that which you know or that which you don't know?"
"That which I don't know, I would think."
"So then, it's only wise that you seek that which you don't know."
"I guess."
"But how do you contain that which is bigger than you ... that which is bigger than your ability to comprehend?"
"By becoming an open vessel," I said.
"Yes," said the teacher. "Only by opening yourself up can you come to know that which you don't already know. And only by becoming an open vessel can you contain that which is greater than yourself. The truth is always greater than our knowing. Your mind and heart are finite clay jars. But the truth has no end. God has no end. The Eternal is infinite ... always flowing."
"Like the river," I said.
"Yes," he said, "but when the jar opens itself, it becomes unlimited. It can contain the waters of the river ... So open now your mind, your heart, and your life. For it is only the open vessel and an open heart that can contain the infinity of God." The Mission: Today, open your mind, your heart, and your life to that which you don't yet know, that you might contain that which is greater than yourself.
