In 1992 Rabbi Joseph Telushkin published a book entitled Jewish Humor: What the Best Jewish Jokes Say About Jews. While he dedicated the book to his three daughters, the first chapter is about how hard it is for generations in a Jewish family to understand one another; how easy it is for frictions and misunderstandings to grow. Chapter one is entitled “Oedipus, Shmedipus, as Long as He Loves His Mother.” This is the first joke in his book.Three elderly Jewish women are seated on a bench in Miami Beach, each one bragging about how devoted her son is to her. The first one says: “My son is so devoted that last year for my birthday he gave me an all-expense paid cruise around the world. First class.”The second one says: “My son is more devoted. For my 75th birthday last year, he catered an affair for me. And even gave me money to fly down my good friends from New York.The third one says: My son is the most devoted. Three times a week he goes to a psychiatrist. Hundreds of dollars an hour he pays him. And what does he speak about the whole time? Me.You might think that parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, are natural allies. That the natural energy is for the generations to get along easily. We share so much. We share a past, present, and future. We share family history. We share values. We share genes. We share a home. We sleep under the same roof. We share dreams. Your success is my success. In fact, I am happier for your success than for my success. What is so complicated? What could go wrong?And yet, it is complicated, and it often does go wrong. That is not only evidenced by the jokes in Telushkin book. The inevitability of generational tension is the backdrop for the climactic passage in the special Haftarah from the prophet Malakhi who imagines that someday, in the future, there will be a yom Adonai hagadol v'hanorah, a day of the Lord that is great and awesome—that is how today became Shabbat hagadol. What will happen on that great and awesome day of the Lord? God “shall reconcile parents with their children and children with their parents.”

Nightmare Day One - Things Getting Out of HandWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos%208%3A11&version=CJBAmos 8:11"The time is coming," says Adonai Elohim, "when I will send famine over the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Adonai.Genesis 42:1 Now Ya`akov saw that there was grain in Egypt; so Ya`akov said to his sons, "Why are you staring at each other? 2 Look," he said, "I've heard that there's grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we can stay alive and not die!" 3 Thus Yosef's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt, 4 except for Binyamin, Yosef's brother. Ya`akov did not send him with his brothers, because he was afraid something might happen to him.Genesis 42:5 The sons of Isra'el came to buy along with the others that came, since the famine extended to the land of Kena`an. 6 Yosef was governor over the land; it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Now when Yosef's brothers came and prostrated themselves before him on the ground, 7 Yosef saw his brothers and recognized them; but he acted toward them as if he were a stranger and spoke harshly with them. He asked them, "Where are you from?" They answered, "From the land of Kena`an to buy food." 8 So Yosef recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him.Genesis 42:9 Remembering the dreams he had had about them, Yosef said to them, "You are spies! You've come to spot our country's weaknesses!" 10 "No, my lord," they replied, "your servants have come to buy food. 11 We're all the sons of one man, we're upright men; your servants aren't spies." 12 "No," he said to them, "you've come to spy out our country's weaknesses." 13 They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kena`an; the youngest stayed with our father, and another one is gone." Genesis 42:14 "Just as I said," replied Yosef, "you're spies! 15 Here's how you can prove you're not lying: as Pharaoh lives, you will not leave here unless your youngest brother comes here. 16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother. Meanwhile, you will be kept in custody. This will prove whether there is any truth in what you say. Otherwise, as Pharaoh lives, you are certainly spies." 17 Then he put all of them together in prison for three days.Genesis 42:18 On the third day, Yosef said to them, "Do what I say, and stay alive, for I fear G_d. 19 If you are upright men, let one of your brothers remain incarcerated in the prison you're being kept in, while you go and carry grain back to relieve the famine in your homes. 20 But bring your youngest brother to me. In this way your statements will be verified, and you won't die." So they did it. 21 They said to each other, "We are in fact guilty concerning our brother. He was in distress and pleaded with us; we saw it and wouldn't listen. That's why this distress has come upon us now." Genesis 42:22 Re'uven answered them, "Didn't I tell you, `Don't wrong the boy'? But you wouldn't hear of it. Now comes the reckoning for his blood!" 23 They had no idea that Yosef understood them, since an interpreter was translating for them. 24 Yosef turned away from them and wept; then he returned and spoke to them. He took Shim`on from among them and put him in prison before their eyes. 25 Next he ordered that their containers be filled with grain, that every man's money be put back in his pack and that they be given provisions for the journey. When these things had been done for them, 26 they loaded their grain on their donkeys and departed.Genesis 42:27 But at camp that night, as one of them opened his pack to give fodder to his donkey, he noticed his money — there it was, just inside his pack. 28 He said to his brothers, "My money has been restored — there it is, right in my pack!" At that, their hearts sank; they turned, trembling, to one another and said, "What is this that G_d has done to us?"Genesis 42:29 They returned to Ya`akov their father in the land of Kena`an and told him all that had happened to them. 30 "The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us. He took us for spies in his country. 31 We said to him, `We are upright men, we're not spies; 32 we are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is gone, and the youngest stayed with our father in the land of Kena`an.' 33 But the man, the lord of the land, said to us, `Here is how I will know that you are upright men: leave one of your brothers with me, take grain to relieve the famine in your homes, and go on your way; 34 but bring your youngest brother to me. By this I will know that you aren't spies, but are upright men; then I will return your brother to you; and you will do business in the land.'"Genesis 42:35 Next, as they emptied their packs, there was each man's bag of money in his pack; and when they and their father saw their bags of money, they became afraid. 36 Ya`akov their father said to them, "You have robbed me of my children! Yosef is gone, Shim`on is gone, now you're taking Binyamin away — it all falls on me!" 37 Re'uven said to his father, "If I don't bring him back to you, you can kill my own two sons! Put him in my care; I will return him to you." 38 But he replied, "My son will not go down with you. His brother is dead, and he alone is left. If anything were to happen to him while traveling with you, you would bring my gray hair down to Sh'ol with grief."Credit to:Photo by MART  PRODUCTION from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/depressed-homeless-man-8078474/Photo by Thais Cordeiro from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/egyptian-pyramids-during-sunset-3873681/

Introducción¿Cuántos aquí creen en Dios? y ¿Cuántos le creen a Dios? estas son dos cosas totalmentediferentes el creer y creerle. Creer en Dios casi todo el mundo cree que existe un Dios, pero creerlea Dios en una cosa diferente.Santiago 2:19 “Tú crees que Dios es uno; bien haces. También los demonios creen y tiemblan.”¿Qué es creerle a Dios? Creerle a Dios es confiar en Él, en su Palabra, en sus promesas. Algo difícilpara el ser humano es creer en lo que no se puede ver, en lo que no se puede tocar, en lo que notenemos enfrente de nosotros.(Mencionar tema y hablar de la imagen: miedo, confianza, seguridad, seguridad)A diario estamos expuestos a situaciones incómodas que nos desalientan y nos llenan de temor, ypreocupación, pero allí en medio de lo que está aconteciendo en nuestras vidas debemosagarrarnos del evangelio y avanzar creyéndole a Dios.Pero cuando la situación adversa viene una vez, y otra vez más y nuevamente nos golpea sinavisar, quizás nuestra reacción no sea la misma aunque ya hayamos escuchado el mensaje de Diosen más de una ocasión…Cuántas veces venimos escuchando la Palabra de Dios y en el momento decreerle a Él, se nos olvida lo escuchado. Nuestra humanidad a flor de piel.La palabra de Dios nos enseña mediante este pasaje de 1 Reyes 17 uno de los escenarios dondeDios se manifestó en gran manera usando al profeta Elías. Quien no dudó en ningún momento enobedecer el mandato de Dios.En aquellos tiempos Israel había sido desmoralizada ya que sus antiguos reyes llevaron al puebloa la idolatría, ya estaban rindiendo cultos a dioses paganos como Baal, por lo que no había ningúnsacerdote íntegro que llevara la Palabra de Dios al pueblo, por esto fue Elías elegido por Dios asícomo a otros hombres.Elías como sacerdote de Dios vivía en Fe y hacía como Él le ordenaba. Luego de haber traído laprofecía de la sequía al rey Acab 1.estuvo escondido en el arroyo de Querit y al cabo de unos días2.por ordenanza de Dios partió a Sarepta a encontrarse allí con una viuda y 3.un milagro.***El Señor traía a mi corazón el otro día una Palabra que primero fue para mi y luego meencomendó se la impartiera a alguien de aquí…llegó en un momento de adoración.Y hoy se la comparto a todos: “Si tu problema tiene un nombre, el Dios que servimos tambiéntiene nombre: Yahweh, Rapha, Elohim, Shaddai, Jireh, Adonai, El Roi.***Support the show

Here's the schedule of Bible study podcasts (audio and video) coming soon.  One lesson per day starting on April 12th through April 20, Resurrection Sunday.  Remember.  Consider downloading the lessons.  You can find the download button at the end of each podcast before you actually hit the play button.   LESSON 1 APRIL 12 Did the Triumphal Entry of Jesus happen on a Sunday?  Could it have been a Monday? Does the TORAH hint at this event?  What year did this happen, 33 A.D. (traditional man made date) or 30 A.D.?  LESSON 2 APRIL 13 The TORAH in Exodus 12 commands fathers on a precise day of the month to find the perfect male lamb that would be sacrificed by each father on 4 days later.  Jews then in Jesus' day know this.  Is there some connection to “Palm Sunday” and this Torah law? LESSON 3 APRIL 14 The first Passover meal occurred in Egypt in 1446 B.C.  It seems the Lord used the Passover meal and certain key elements as a polemic against the gods of Egypt.  Once we get it, it has huge applications for us in the pagan culture we live in today. LESSON 4 APRIL 15 Some argue that Jesus' Last Supper was a Passover Seder.  Some say the Last Supper had no connection to a Seder.  But Jesus' Last Supper was the night before the evening when the Hebrews were to have the Passover meal.  On top of that Jewish sources shows unequivocally shows there was NO Seder in Jesus' day.  There was a Passover meal but not a Seder.   LESSON 5 APRIL 16 God comes to us and provides the WAY back to Himself via the Cross and the Lamb of God. As Paul teaches without the Resurrection all is meaningless.  So, this was the plan of the Lord from ages past.  It was now FINISHED.  The beginning was completed.  The Resurrection was the End of the Beginning. LESSON 6 APRIL 17 There is no Bible verse that says that Jesus is the Passover Lamb!  If your Bible says He is the Passover Lamb it is a proven mistranslation.  Jesus is the Lamb, He is the Lamb of God.  There is a significant difference between the Passover Lamb and the Lamb of God.  It is critical that we understand the difference.  It is critical to see that יהוה Yahvay, the Lord, used the 1st Passover as a model for the Passover of Messiah. LESSON 7 APRIL 18 There is no garden of Gethsemane.  No way.  But, there is a Gethsemane.  Gethsemane is a Greek word that comes from the Hebrew.  Wait till you see what a Gethsemane actually is!  LESSON 8 APRIL 19 (three short videos) The Bible says in ENGLISH that יהוה Yahvay, Adonai the LORD, hardened Pharaoh's heart.  Huh?  How can that be?  Did God take away Pharaoh's free will?  The problem is the text in English.  A great credible Jewish scholar, a Hebrew scholar, shows that the LORD did not harden Pharaoh's heart.  The LORD gave Pharaoh one chance after another.  יהוה Yahvay never took away his free will.  Video 1 is 27 minutes and video 2 is 14 minutes and video 3 is 19 minutes.   LESSON 9 APRIL 20 The Passover of Jesus was the End of the Beginning.  The way was open again back to the Father.  Through the Cross our sins can be totally forgiven and our debt to sin paid if we have Jesus as Lord.  But, God connects the Resurrection, the End of the Beginning, to the feast of Shavuot or Pentecost.  We'll see that Shavuot or Pentecost is the Beginning of the End – it is the time of the Wheat Harvest.

Dream Believin' - Those with Ears to HearWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2023%3A28&version=CJBJeremiah 23:28"If a prophet has a dream, let him tell it as a dream. But someone who has my word should speak my word faithfully. What do chaff and wheathave in common?" asks Adonai.Genesis 41:1-7 At the end of two years, Pharaoh had a dream: he was standing beside the Nile River; 2 and there came up out of the river seven cows, sleek and fat; and they began feeding in swamp grass. 3 After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, miserable-looking and lean; and they stood by the other cows at the edge of the river. 4 Then the miserable-looking and lean cows ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. At this point Pharaoh woke up. 5 But he went to sleep again and dreamt a second time: seven full, ripe ears of grain grew out of a single stalk. 6 After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up. 7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven full, ripe ears. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it had been a dream.Genesis 41:8 In the morning he found himself so upset that he summoned all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one there could interpret them for him. 9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today reminds me of something wherein I am at fault: 10 Pharaoh was angry with his officials and put me in the prison of the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker. 11 One night both I and he had dreams, and each man's dream had its own meaning. 12 There was with us a young man, a Hebrew, a servant of the captain of the guard; and we told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us — he interpreted each man's dream individually. 13 And it came about as he interpreted to us — I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."Genesis 41:14 Then Pharaoh summoned Yosef, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.15 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; but I've heard it said about you that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it." 16 Yosef answered Pharaoh, "It isn't in me. G_d will give Pharaoh an answer that will set his mind at peace." 17 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "In my dream, I stood at the edge of the river; 18 and there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek; and they began feeding in the swamp grass. 19 After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, poor, miserable-looking and lean — I've never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt! 20 Then the lean and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 But after they had eaten them up, one couldn't tell that they had eaten them; because they were as miserable-looking as before. At this point I woke up. 22 But I dreamed again and saw seven full, ripe ears of grain growing out of a single stalk. 23 After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up. 24 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven ripe ears. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me."Genesis 41:25 Yosef said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are the same: G_d has told Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are seven years — the dreams are the same. 27 Likewise the seven lean and miserable-looking cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted by the east wind — there will be seven years of famine. 28 This is what I told Pharaoh: G_d has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Here it is: there will be seven years of abundance throughout the whole land of Egypt; 30 but afterwards, there will come seven years of famine; and Egypt will forget all the abundance. The famine will consume the land, 31 and the abundance will not be known in the land because of the famine that will follow, because it will be truly terrible. 32 Why was the dream doubled for Pharaoh? Because the matter has been fixed by G_d, and G_d will shortly cause it to happen.Genesis 41:33 "Therefore, Pharaoh should look for a man both discreet and wise to put in charge of the land of Egypt. 34 Pharaoh should do this, and he should appoint supervisors over the land to receive a twenty percent tax on the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. 35 They should gather all the food produced during these good years coming up and set aside grain under the supervision of Pharaoh to be used for food in the cities, and they should store it. 36 This will be the land's food supply for the seven years of famine that will come over the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish as a result of the famine."Genesis 41:37 The proposal seemed good both to Pharaoh and to all his officials. 38 Pharaoh said to his officials, "Can we find anyone else like him? The Spirit of G_d lives in him!"39 So Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Since G_d has shown you all this — there is no one as discerning and wise as you — 40 you will be in charge of my household; all my people will be ruled by what you say. Only when I rule from my throne will I be greater than you." 41 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Here, I place you in charge of the whole land of Egypt." 42 Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Yosef's hand, had him clothed in fine linen with a gold chain around his neck 43 and had him ride in his second best chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow down!" Thus he placed him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I, Pharaoh, decree that without your approval no one is to raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt." 45 Pharaoh called Yosef by the name Tzafnat-Pa‘neach and gave him as his wife Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On. Then Yosef went out through all the land of Egypt.Genesis 41:46 Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt; then he left Pharaoh's presence and traveled through all the land of Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance, the earth brought forth heaps of produce. 48 He collected all the food of these seven years in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities — the food grown in the fields outside each city he stored in that city. 49 Yosef stored grain in quantities like the sand on the seashore, so much that they stopped counting, because it was beyond measure.Genesis 41:50 Two sons were born to Yosef before the year of famine came; Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore them to him. 51 Yosef called the firstborn M'nasheh [causing to forget], "Because G_d has caused me to forget all the troubles I suffered at the hands of my family." 52 The second he called Efrayim [fruit], "For G_d has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune."Genesis 41:53 The seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt ended; 54 and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Yosef had said. There was famine in all lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food. 55 When the whole land of Egypt started feeling the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Yosef, and do what he tells you to do." 56 The famine was over all the earth, but then Yosef opened all the storehouses and sold food to the Egyptians, since the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 Moreover all countries came to Egypt to Yosef to buy grain, because the famine was severe throughout the earth.Creditshttps://unsplash.com/photos/parked-white-bicycle-V83v-MYB_Z8https://unsplash.com/photos/sea-of-clouds-LtWFFVi1RXQ

It's difficult to have faith when we're surrounded by a faithless world, and yet that's not uncommon for God's people. Today we're looking at 1 Kings 17 and the account of Elijah and Ahab. We'll see how Elijah stands for the Lord and how the Lord blesses him and those around him. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    According to the podcast, what happened to the nation of Israel 55 years earlier? Which kingdom did Elijah preach to? 2.    Although King Ahab was a king over the northern kingdom, by his mode of life, which God did He really worship? How did this come about? 3.    The podcast mentions that the name “Baal” meant “master”. How might this have been a temptation for God's people who often referred to the Lord as “Adonai” which also meant “Lord, master”?  4.    The podcast mentions that “Baal” was the god of nature and fertility and rain. How important were these elements to the Jewish agrarian economy? Why might this have been tempting for the Jewish people to worship Baal instead of the Lord? 5.    Into this scene came Elijah. Elijah's name meant “The Lord is God”. Why was this message so radical in Elijah's day and age? 6.    What does the Lord tell King Ahab in verse 1? What kind of intestinal fortitude did this take, given the situation of the Northern Kingdom at this time? How was this taking on the false god Baal?  7.    What does the Lord have Elijah do after this, in verses 3-7? How does the Lord provide for Elijah in these verses? How do you think that would have strengthened his faith? 8.    Where does the Lord send Elijah in verse 9? Was this a region inhabited by Jews? Whose hometown was this? Why would that have been a problem for Elijah? 9.    What does the widow say to Elijah about the Lord in verse 12? What does this indicate about her faith in the Lord? What miracle does the Lord provide for her an answer to her faith? 10.    What happens to her son in verse 17? What does the Lord do through Elijah in verses 19 to 22? What did the podcast say about why this is a “resuscitation” rather than a “resurrection”? 11.    Look up Malachi 4:5. What does this verse say about Elijah? How did this verse factor into Jesus's ministry in the New Testament? 12.    What does Elijah's life show the people of the Northern Kingdom regarding God's covenant with them during this time? Why is this surprising given the spiritual climate of Elijah's day? 13.    In Luke 4, verses 26 and 27, Jesus refers to the events of this chapter. What was His point in saying what He says about what happened here? 14.    Finally, James 5:17 refers to these events as an example of prayer. What was James's point about Elijah? How does that relate to us today? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

The Geography of Wrath Part Two Before the LORD Destroyed Sodom Last week, we looked at The Geography of Wrath, a preface to this lesson on the danger of the last watch of the night. “Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.” (Ge 13:10) When Lot “lifted up his eyes,” he saw prophetically. Before their destruction, the five cities of the valley enjoyed an Edenic-like climate and prosperity, yet the prophetic phrase “lifted up his eyes” predicts a restoration of that area, which sits in the Arava. Revelation predicts a great miracles of the two witnesses, which helps us to understand "Sodom and Egypt": "And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified." (Re 11:8) What Sodom and Egypt have in common is that those who were saved and set on a path of righteousness (Lot and the Israelites in the wilderness) looked back at what at enslaved them as more to be desired than the Garden of Eden, the authentic Promised Land, that lay before them if they would walk in their salvation. When the bodies of the two witnesses are caught up from Jerusalem, it is a witness to be understood as a last warning to believers who, in those last days, continue to cling to the cargoes of Babylon, who persist in begging to go "by way of Zoar to Egypt" instead of repenting and returning to the righteous walk of salvation epitomized by Avraham. The night is far spent by then. The commercial success of the five cities lured Lot in. The deception was that its fruitfulness “like the Garden” was to be desired over the fruitfulness of the stars promised to Avraham. Lot's wife preferred the deception of luxury with wickedness over the promise of good gifts from above.The Midrash concerning Sodom details how travelers were lured in, then maimed or killed and their goods confiscated. “When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, ‘Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.'” (Ge 19:15) The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the LORD; and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace. (Ge 19:24-28) Before Adonai destroyed Sodom, he sent warning of the wrath to come. Lot was aware of the blessings promised to Avraham, but he was also aware of the righteous life required for such eternal blessings. Lot chose precarious salvation over a life of obedience and teaching his children after him: “For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.” (Ge 18:19) Lot was troubled by the wickedness of Sodom, but not enough to forfeit living in it: “and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men…” (2 Pe 2:7) It took the wrath of Adonai to remove him, not to abundant life, but bare salvation. “Insignificance” is the meaning of the small city Zoar in which Lot requested to live, and so was his contribution to the Kingdom of Adonai compared to Avraham. Avraham viewed the valley of Sodom and saw the smoke of the cities ascending like the smo...

Writing on the Wall - When You Know You KnowWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A9&version=CJBProverbs 16:9A person may plan his path, but Adonai directs his steps.Ready the RoomGenesis 40:1 Some time later it came about that the Egyptian king's cupbearer and baker gave offense to their lord the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh became angry with his two officers the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. 3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, in the same place where Yosef was kept. 4 The captain of the guard charged Yosef to be with them, and he became their attendant while they remained in prison.Genesis 40:5 One night the two of them, the king of Egypt's cupbearer and his baker, there in prison, both had dreams, each dream with its own meaning. 6 Yosef came in to them in the morning and saw that they looked sad. 7 He asked Pharaoh's officers there with him in the prison of his master's house, "Why are you looking so sad today?" 8 They said to him, "We each had a dream, and there's no one around who can interpret it." Yosef said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to G_d? Tell it to me, please."Genesis 40:9 Then the chief cupbearer told Yosef his dream: "In my dream, there in front of me was a vine, 10 and the vine had three branches. The branches budded, then it suddenly began to blossom, and finally clusters of ripe grapes appeared. 11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, so I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup to Pharaoh." 12 Yosef said to him, "Here is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. 13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office: you will be giving Pharaoh his cup as you used to when you were his cupbearer. 14 But remember me when it goes well with you; and show me kindness, please; and mention me to Pharaoh, so that he will release me from this prison. 15 For the truth is that I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here too I have done nothing wrong that would justify putting me in this dungeon."Genesis 40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Yosef, "I too saw in my dream: there were three baskets of white bread on my head. 17 In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds ate them out of the basket on my head." 18 Yosef answered, "Here is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. 19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off of you — he will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."Genesis 40:20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he gave a party for all his officials, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his officials. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer back to his position, so that he again gave Pharaoh his cup. 22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Yosef had interpreted to them. 23 Nevertheless, the chief cupbearer didn't remember Yosef, but forgot him.Credits:Photo by Sindre Fs from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-clear-glass-ball-1112196/Photo by Ahmed Adly from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/grayscale-photography-of-human-skull-1270184/Photo by Jimmy Chan from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/hallway-with-window-1309902/

In Bible times, every seven years all slaves had the chance to go free. If they chose to stay with their masters, they would be taken to the public market and a peg was put through one of the slave's ears to mutilate the ear. That way he would be "marked" as a slave who loved his master and did not want to go free. We are called to serve God as willing slaves. Do you consider yourself "marked" for God?

Yosef institutionalized - Riding the slavery trainWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A9&version=CJBProverbs 16:9A person may plan his path, but Adonai directs his steps.Slave to his spoiling fatherGenesis 37:3Now Isra'el loved Yosef the most of all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a long-sleeved robe.Slave to his bitter brothersGenesis 37:4When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they began to hate him and reached the point where they couldn't even talk with him in a civil manner.Slave to traffickersGenesis 37:27"Come, let's sell him to the Yishma`elim, instead of putting him to death with our own hands. After all, he is our brother, our own flesh." His brothers paid attention to him.Slave to government officialGenesis 39:1-6aYosef was brought down to Egypt, and Potifar, an officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Yishma`elim who had brought him there. Adonai was with Yosef, and he became wealthy while he was in the household of his master the Egyptian. His master saw how Adonai was with him, that Adonai prospered everything he did. Yosef pleased him as he served him, and his master appointed him manager of his household; he entrusted all his possessions to Yosef. From the time he appointed him manager of his household and all his possessions, Adonai blessed the Egyptian's household for Yosef's sake; Adonai's blessing was on all he owned, whether in the house or in the field. So he left all his possessions in Yosef's care; and because he had him, he paid no attention to his affairs, except for the food he ate.Slave to Sexual HarassmentGenesis 39:6b-10Now Yosef was well-built and handsome as well. In time, the day came when his master's wife took a look at Yosef and said, "Sleep with me!" But he refused, saying to his master's wife, "Look, because my master has me, he doesn't know what's going on in this house. He has put all his possessions in my charge. In this house I am his equal; he hasn't withheld anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against G_d?" But she kept pressing him, day after day. Nevertheless, he didn't listen to her; he refused to sleep with her or even be with her.Slave to MatriarchyGenesis 39:11-18However, one day, when he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men living in the house was there indoors, she grabbed him by his robe and said, "Sleep with me!" But he fled, leaving his robe in her hand, and got himself outside. When she saw that he had left his robe in her hand and had escaped, she called the men of her house and said to them, "Look at this! My husband brought in a Hebrew to make fools of us. He came in and wanted to sleep with me, but I yelled out loudly. When he heard me yelling like that, he left his robe with me and ran out." She put the robe aside until his master came home. Then she said to him, "This Hebrew slave you brought us came in to make a fool of me. But when I yelled out, he left his robe with me and fled outside."Slave to SimpismGenesis 39:19-20When his master heard what his wife said as she showed him, "Here's what your slave did to me," he became furious. Yosef's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept; and there he was in the prison.Slave to penal systemGenesis 39:21-22But Adonai was with Yosef, showing him grace and giving him favor in the sight of the prison warden. The prison warden made Yosef supervisor of all the prisoners in the prison; so that whatever they did there, he was in charge of it.Slave to AdonaiGenesis 39:23The prison warden paid no attention to anything Yosef did, because Adonai was with him; and whatever he did, Adonai prospered.Credits:https://unsplash.com/photos/a-close-up-of-a-bicycle-handlebar-0-MhLbNrwM4https://unsplash.com/photos/a-bunch-of-chains-that-are-stacked-together-Wltax1jI6cs

So Tamar went and lived at home with her father. 12 In due time, Shua's daughter, the wife of Y'hudah, died. After Y'hudah had been comforted, he went up to be with his sheep-shearers in Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the `Adulami. 13 Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law has gone up to Timnah to shear his sheep." 14 So she took off her widow's clothes, completely covered her face with her veil, and sat at the entrance to `Einayim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah had grown up, but she still was not being given to him as his wife.Genesis 38:15 When Y'hudah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, because she had covered her face. 16 So he went over to her where she was sitting and said, not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, "Come, let me sleep with you." She answered, "What will you pay to sleep with me?" 17 He said, "I will send you a kid from the flock of goats." She said, "Will you also give me something as a guarantee until you send it" 18 He answered, "What should I give you as a guarantee?" She said, "Your seal, with its cord, and the staff you're carrying in your hand." So he gave them to her, then went and slept with her; and she conceived by him. 19 She got up and went away, took off her veil and put on her widow's clothes.Genesis 38:20 Y'hudah sent the kid with his friend the `Adulami to receive the guarantee items back from the woman, but he couldn't find her. 21 He asked the people near where she had been, "Where is the prostitute who was on the road at `Einayim?" But they answered, "There hasn't been any prostitute here." 22 So he returned to Y'hudah and said, "I couldn't find her; also the people there said, `There hasn't been any prostitute here.'" 23 Y'hudah said, "All right, let her keep the things, so that we won't be publicly shamed. I sent the kid, but you didn't find her."Genesis 38:24 About three months later Y'hudah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has been acting like a whore; moreover, she is pregnant as a result of her prostitution." Y'hudah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned alive!" 25 When she was brought out, she sent this message to her father-in-law: "I am pregnant by the man to whom these things belong. Determine, I beg you, whose these are — the signet, the cords and the staff." 26 Then Y'hudah acknowledged owning them. He said, "She is more righteous than I, because I didn't let her become the wife of my son Shelah." And he never slept with her again.Genesis 38:27 When she went into labor, it became evident that she was going to have twins. 28 As she was in labor, one of them put out his hand; and the midwife took his hand and tied a scarlet thread on it, saying, "This one came out first." 29 But then he withdrew his hand, and his brother came out; so she said, "How did you manage to break out first?" Therefore he was named Peretz [breaking out]. 30 Then out came his brother, with the scarlet thread on his hand, and he was given the name Zerach [scarlet].Did Onan die because he did not want to have children?Levirate-marriage is a strange custom for us today.  It required one brother to marry the wife of a brother who died and who did not have a son. Our question is about Onan who did not want this responsibility. The custom of levirate-marriage was practiced throughout the Old Testament (Genesis 38:6-10; Ruth 4:10) and even into Christ's time (Matthew 22:24). It is clear this was a divine principle during the time of the book of Genesis, and it was finally written down as part of the Mosaic Law,https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2025%3A5-10&version=CJBDeuteronomy 25:5-105 "If brothers live together, and one of them dies childless, his widow is not to marry someone unrelated to him; her husband's brother is to go to her and perform the duty of a brother-in-law by marrying her. 6 The first child she bears will succeed to the name of his dead brother, so that his name will not be eliminated from Isra'el. 7 If the man does not wish to marry his brother's widow, then his brother's widow is to go up to the gate, to the leaders, and say, `My brother-in-law refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Isra'el; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother for me.' 8 The leaders of his town are to summon him and speak to him. If, on appearing before them, he continues to say, `I don't want to marry her,' 9 then his brother's widow is to approach him in the presence of the leaders, pull his sandal off his foot, spit in his face and say, `This is what is done to the man who refuses to build up his brother's family.' 10 From that time on, his family is to be known in Isra'el as `the family of the man who had his sandal pulled off.'Credits:https://unsplash.com/@xangriffin - Person Praisinghttps://unsplash.com/@danist07 - Clouds

God's eyes have been bent on bringing man back ever since. Jehovah executed a reset in Jesus Christ. Elohim provided a path to renewal for all creation.

Adonai your G_d has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure.Genesis 35:1 G_d said to Ya`akov, "Get up, go up to Beit-El and live there, and make there an altar to G_d, who appeared to you when you fled `Esav your brother." 2 Then Ya`akov said to his household and all the others with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have with you, purify yourselves, and put on fresh clothes. 3 We're going to move on and go up to Beit-El. There I will build an altar to G_d, who answered me when I was in such distress and stayed with me wherever I went." Genesis 35:4 They gave Ya`akov all the foreign gods in their possession and the earrings they were wearing, and Ya`akov buried them under the pistachio tree near Sh'khem. 5 While they were traveling, a terror from G_d fell upon the cities around them, so that none of them pursued the sons of Ya`akov.Genesis 35:6 Ya`akov and all the people with him arrived at Luz (that is, Beit-El) in the land of Kena`an. 7 He built there an altar and called the place El-Beit-El [G_d of Beit-El], because it was there that G_d was revealed to him, at the time when he was fleeing from his brother.Genesis 35:8 Then D'vorah, Rivkah's nurse, died. She was buried below Beit-El under the oak, which was given the name Alon-Bakhut [oak of weeping].Genesis 35:9 After Ya`akov arrived from Paddan-Aram, G_d appeared to him again and blessed him. 10 G_d said to him, "Your name is Ya`akov, but you will be called Ya`akov no longer; your name will be Isra'el." Thus he named him Isra'el. 11 G_d further said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed a group of nations, will come from you; kings will be descended from you. Genesis 35:12 Moreover, the land which I gave to Avraham and Yitz'chak I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you." 13 Then G_d went up from him there where he had spoken with him. Genesis 35:14 Ya`akov set up a standing-stone in the place where he had spoken with him, a stone pillar. Then he poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. 15 Ya`akov called the place where G_d spoke with him Beit-El.Genesis 35:16 Then they traveled on from Beit-El, and while there was still some distance to go before arriving in Efrat, Rachel went into labor, and she had great difficulty with it. 17 While she was undergoing this hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't worry, this is also a son for you." 18 But she died in childbirth. As she was dying she named her son Ben-Oni [son of my grief], but his father called him Binyamin [son of the right hand, son of the south]. 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Efrat (that is, Beit-Lechem). 20 Ya`akov set up a standing-stone on her grave; it is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.Genesis 35:21 Isra'el continued his travels and pitched his tent on the other side of Migdal-`Eder. 22 It was while Isra'el was living in that land that Re'uven went and slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Isra'el heard about it. Ya`akov had twelve sons. 23 The sons of Le'ah were Re'uven Ya`akov's firstborn, Shim`on, Levi, Y'hudah, Yissakhar and Z'vulun. 24 The sons of Rachel were Yosef and Binyamin. 25 The sons of Bilhah Rachel's slave-girl were Dan and Naftali. 26 And the sons of Zilpah Le'ah's slave-girl were Gad and Asher. These were Ya`akov's sons, born to him in Paddan-Aram.Genesis 35:27 Ya`akov came home to his father Yitz'chak at Mamre, near Kiryat-Arba (also known as Hevron), where Avraham and Yitz'chak had lived as foreigners. 28 Yitz'chak lived to be 180 years old. 29 Then he breathed his last, died and was gathered to his people, an old man full of years; and his sons `Esav and Ya`akov buried him.DOGE and DOSE?Department of Spiritual Efficacy!https://unsplash.com/@stigson - Jordan Valleyhttps://unsplash.com/@robertina - Anointing oilhttps://unsplash.com/@fadid000 - Heart

TO KNOW ABOUT GOD BY HIS NAME (EPHESIANS 4:6) Today, I want to spend the entire message talking about God.  I just happen to believe that God is the biggest subject that we can talk about, at any time, as we study the Word of God.  And the amazing thing to consider is that there is so much in the Bible about God, that to talk about God for 45 minutes today would be like trying to bail out an ocean with a teacup.  We will only scratch the surface.   But there are some things that we can know about God, and we can know God without knowing everything about God.  You also don't have to know all that the Heavenly Father does when He administrates the universe in order to know God. And so, we can find out some things about God by objective observation, but we can really only know the heart of God, the goodness of God, by revelation. And how do we know the goodness of God? And what kind of a revelation has God given of Himself? Certainly, the Bible is the most complete way that God has revealed Himself to us.  But, did you know that one of the greatest revelations that God has given of Himself are the names of God. The Bible says, in (Psalm 9:10) “And they that know thy name shall put their trust in thee …”  This tells us that to know the names of God is a great thing.  So, today, I'm going to give you the names of God. Now, not all of the names of God, but I have selected some of them.   Click on the play button to hear a message on how God reveals Himself to us by His names. He is the God of strength, “Elohim.” He is the God of sovereignty, “Jehovah.” He is the God of superiority, “Adonai.” He is the God of sufficiency, “El Shaddai.” He is the God of supremacy, “El Elyon.” He is the God of stability, “El Olam.” He is the God of sympathy, “El Roi.” All of these names are wrapped up in one sweet name, Jesus. There is one God and Father who is above all—that is the greatness of God. And through all—that is the goodness of God. And in us all—that is the grace of God. And it is all summed up in one person—and that's Jesus. Now, you'll never know the Father, until you receive the Son.  This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Wrestling with simping - Being Accountable to AdonaiWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2016%3A13&version=CJB1 Corinthians 16:13Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, behave like a mentsh, grow strong.Genesis 32:14 (13) He stayed there that night; then he chose from among his possessions the following as a present for `Esav his brother: 15 (14) two hundred female goats and twenty males, two hundred female sheep and twenty males, 16 (15) thirty milk-camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten colts. 17 (16) He turned them over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Cross over in front of me, and keep a space between each drove and the next one." Genesis 32:18 (17) He instructed the servant in front, "When `Esav my brother meets you and asks you, `Whose servant are you? Where are you going? And whose animals are these?' 19 (18) then you are to say, `They belong to your servant Ya`akov, and they are a present he has sent to my lord `Esav; and Ya`akov himself is just behind us.'" Genesis 32:20 (19) He also instructed the second servant, and the third, and all that followed the droves, "When you encounter `Esav, you are to speak to him in the same way, 21 (20) and you are to add, `And there, just behind us, is your servant Ya`akov.'" For he said, "I will appease him first with the present that goes ahead of me; then, after that, I will see him myself — and maybe he will be friendly toward me." 22 (21) So the present crossed over ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.Genesis 32:23 (22) He got up that night, took his two wives, his two slave-girls, and his eleven children, and forded the Yabok. 24 (23) He took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across; 25 (24) and Ya`akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak. 26 (25) When he saw that he did not defeat Ya`akov, he struck Ya`akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him. 27 (26) The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya`akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me." 28 (27) The man asked, "What is your name?" and he answered, "Ya`akov." 29 (28) Then the man said, "From now on, you will no longer be called Ya`akov, but Isra'el; because you have shown your strength to both G_d and men and have prevailed." 30 (29) Ya`akov asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he answered, "Why are you asking about my name?" and blessed him there.Genesis 32:31 (30) Ya`akov called the place P'ni-El [face of G_d], "Because I have seen G_d face to face, yet my life is spared." 32 (31) As the sun rose upon him he went on past P'ni-El, limping at the hip. 33 (32) This is why, to this day, the people of Isra'el do not eat the thigh muscle that passes along the hip socket — because the man struck Ya`akov's hip at its socket.Genesis 33:1 Ya`akov raised his eyes and looked out; and there was `Esav coming, and four hundred men with him. So Ya`akov divided the children between Le'ah, Rachel and the two slave-girls, 2 putting the slave-girls and their children first, Le'ah and her children second, and Rachel and Yosef last. 3 Then he himself passed on ahead of them and prostrated himself on the ground seven times before approaching his brother. Genesis 33:4 `Esav ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him; and they wept. 5 Esav looked up; on seeing the women and children, he asked, "Who are these with you?" Ya`akov answered, "The children G_d has graciously given to your servant."Genesis 33:6 Then the slave-girls approached with their children, and they prostrated themselves; 7 Le'ah too and her children approached and prostrated themselves; and last came Yosef and Rachel; and they prostrated themselves. 8 `Esav asked, "What was the meaning of this procession of droves I encountered?" and he answered, "It was to win my lord's favor." 9 `Esav replied, "I have plenty already; my brother, keep your possessions for yourself." Genesis 33:10 Ya`akov said, "No, please! If now I have won your favor, then accept my gift. Just seeing your face has been like seeing the face of G_d, now that you have received me. 11 So please accept the gift I have brought you, for G_d has dealt kindly with me and I have enough." Thus he urged him, until he accepted it.Genesis 33:12 `Esav said, "Let's break camp and get going. I'll go first." 13 Ya`akov said to him, "My lord knows that the children are small, and the sheep and cattle suckling their young concern me, because if they overdrive them even one day, all the flocks will die. 14 Instead, please, let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the cattle ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se`ir." Genesis 33:15 `Esav replied, "Then let me leave with you some of the people I have with me." But Ya`akov said, "There's no need for my lord to be so kind to me." 16 So `Esav left that day to return to Se`ir. 17 Ya`akov went on to Sukkot, where he built himself a house and put up shelters for his cattle. This is why the place is called Sukkot [shelters].Genesis 33:18 Having traveled from Paddan-Aram, Ya`akov arrived safely at the city of Sh'khem, in Kena`an, and set up camp near the city. 19 From the sons of Hamor Sh'khem's father he bought for one hundred pieces of silver the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent. 20 There he put up an altar, which he called El-Elohei-Yisra'el [G_d, the G_d of Isra'el].Credit to:https://www.pexels.com/@clickerhappy/ (Wrestling photo)

Be Leaving and Cleaving - Restoring Order in DysfunctionWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205%3A23&version=CJBEphesians 5:23because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe.Genesis 31:29 I have it in my power to do you harm; but the G_d of your father spoke to me last night and said, 'Be careful that you don't say anything to Ya'akov, either good or bad.' 30 Granted that you had to leave, because you longed so deeply for your father's house; but why did you steal my gods?" 31 Ya'akov answered Lavan, "Because I was afraid. I said, 'Suppose you take your daughters away from me by force?' 32 But if you find your gods with someone, that person will not remain alive. So with our kinsmen to witness, if you spot anything that I have which belongs to you, take it back." Ya'akov did not know that Rachel had stolen them. 33 Lavan went into Ya'akov's tent, then into Le'ah's tent and into the tent of the two slave-girls; but he did not find them. He left Le'ah's tent and entered Rachel's tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods, put them in the saddle of the camel and was sitting on them. Lavan felt all around the tent but did not find them. 35 She said to her father, "Please don't be angry that I'm not getting up in your presence, but it's the time of my period." So he searched, but he didn't find the household gods.Genesis 31:36 Then Ya'akov became angry and started arguing with Lavan. "What have I done wrong?" he demanded. "What is my offense, that you have come after me in hot pursuit? 37 You have felt around in all my stuff, but what have you found of all your household goods? Put it here, in front of my kinsmen and yours, so that they can render judgment between the two of us! 38 I have been with you for these twenty years! Your female sheep and goats haven't aborted their young, and I haven't eaten the male animals in your flocks. 39 If one of your flock was destroyed by a wild animal, I didn't bring the carcass to you but bore the loss myself. You demanded that I compensate you for any animal stolen, whether by day or by night. 40 Here's how it was for me: during the day thirst consumed me, and at night the cold — my sleep fled from my eyes. 41 These twenty years I've been in your house — I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock; and you changed my wages ten times! 42 If the G_d of my father, the G_d of Avraham, the one whom Yitz'chak fears, had not been on my side, by now you would certainly have already sent me away with nothing! G_d has seen how distressed I've been and how hard I've worked, and last night he passed judgment in my favor."Genesis 31:43 Lavan answered Ya'akov, "The daughters are mine, the children are mine, the flocks are mine, and everything you see is mine! But what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne? 44 So now, come, let's make a covenant, I and you; and let it stand as a testimony between me and you." 45 Ya'akov took a stone and set it upright as a standing-stone. 46 Then Ya'akov said to his kinsmen, "Gather some stones"; and they took stones, made a pile of them and ate there by the pile of stones. 47 Lavan called it Y'gar-Sahaduta ["pile of witness" in Aramaic], while Ya'akov called it Gal-'Ed ["pile of witness" in Hebrew].Genesis 31:48 Lavan said, "This pile witnesses between me and you today." This is why it is called Gal-'Ed 49 and also HaMitzpah [the watchtower], because he said, "May Adonai watch between me and you when we are apart from each other. 50 If you cause pain to my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, then, even if no one is there with us, still G_d is witness between me and you." 51 Lavan also said to Ya'akov, "Here is this pile, and here is this standing-stone, which I have set up between me and you. 52 May this pile be a witness, and may the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass beyond this pile to you, and you will not pass beyond this pile and this standing-stone to me, to cause harm. 53 May the G_d of Avraham and also the god of Nachor, the god of their father, judge between us." But Ya'akov swore by the One his father Yitz'chak feared. 54 Ya'akov offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his kinsmen to the meal. They ate the food and spent the whole night on the mountain.Genesis 32:1 Early in the morning Lavan got up, kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them. Then Lavan left and returned to his own place. 2 (1) Ya`akov went on his way, and the angels of G_d met him. 3 (2) When Ya`akov saw them, he said, "This is G_d's camp," and called that place Machanayim [two camps].Genesis 32:4 (3) Ya`akov sent messengers ahead of him to `Esav his brother toward the land of Se`ir, the country of Edom, 5 (4) with these instructions: "Here is what you are to say to my lord `Esav: `Your servant Ya`akov says, "I have been living with Lavan and have stayed until now. 6 (5) I have cattle, donkeys and flocks, and male and female servants. I am sending to tell this news to my lord, in order to win your favor." '" 7 (6) The messengers returned to Ya`akov saying, "We went to your brother `Esav, and he is coming to meet you; with him are four hundred men."Genesis 32:8 (7) Ya`akov became greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people, flocks, cattle and camels with him into two camps, 9 (8) saying, "If `Esav comes to the one camp and attacks it, at least the camp that is left will escape." 10 (9) Then Ya`akov said, "G_d of my father Avraham and G_d of my father Yitz'chak, Adonai, who told me, `Return to your country and your kinsmen, and I will do you good': 11 (10) I'm not worthy of all the love and faithfulness you have shown your servant, since I crossed the Yarden with only my staff. But now I have become two camps. 12 (11) Please! Rescue me from my brother `Esav! I'm afraid of him, afraid he'll come and attack me, without regard for mothers or children. 13 (12) You said, `I will certainly do you good and make your descendants as numerous as the grains of sand by the sea, which are so many they can't be counted.'"Genesis 32:14 (13) He stayed there that night; then he chose from among his possessions the following as a present for `Esav his brother: 15 (14) two hundred female goats and twenty males, two hundred female sheep and twenty males, 16 (15) thirty milk-camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten colts. 17 (16) He turned them over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Cross over in front of me, and keep a space between each drove and the next one." 18 (17) He instructed the servant in front, "When `Esav my brother meets you and asks you, `Whose servant are you? Where are you going? And whose animals are these?' 19 (18) then you are to say, `They belong to your servant Ya`akov, and they are a present he has sent to my lord `Esav; and Ya`akov himself is just behind us.'" 20 (19) He also instructed the second servant, and the third, and all that followed the droves, "When you encounter `Esav, you are to speak to him in the same way, 21 (20) and you are to add, `And there, just behind us, is your servant Ya`akov.'" For he said, "I will appease him first with the present that goes ahead of me; then, after that, I will see him myself — and maybe he will be friendly toward me." 22 (21) So the present crossed over ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.Genesis 32:23 (22) He got up that night, took his two wives, his two slave-girls, and his eleven children, and forded the Yabok. 24 (23) He took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across; 25 (24) and Ya`akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak. 26 (25) When he saw that he did not defeat Ya`akov, he struck Ya`akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him. 27 (26) The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya`akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me." 28 (27) The man asked, "What is your name?" and he answered, "Ya`akov." 29 (28) Then the man said, "From now on, you will no longer be called Ya`akov, but Isra'el; because you have shown your strength to both G_d and men and have prevailed." 30 (29) Ya`akov asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he answered, "Why are you asking about my name?" and blessed him there.Genesis 32:31 (30) Ya`akov called the place P'ni-El [face of G_d], "Because I have seen G_d face to face, yet my life is spared." 32 (31) As the sun rose upon him he went on past P'ni-El, limping at the hip. 33 (32) This is why, to this day, the people of Isra'el do not eat the thigh muscle that passes along the hip socket — because the man struck Ya`akov's hip at its socket

It's from what used to belong to our father that he has gotten so rich." 2 He also saw that Lavan regarded him differently than before. 3 Adonai said to Ya'akov, "Return to the land of your ancestors, to your kinsmen; I will be with you." Genesis 31:4 So Ya'akov sent for Rachel and Le'ah and had them come to the field where his flock was. 5 He said to them, "I see by the way your father looks that he feels differently toward me than before; but the God of my father has been with me. 6 You know that I have served your father with all my strength, 7 and that your father has belittled me and has changed my wages ten times; but God did not allow him to do me any damage. Genesis 31:8 If he said, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the animals gave birth to speckled young; and if he said, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the animals gave birth to streaked young. 9 This is how God has taken away your father's animals and given them to me. 10 Once, when the animals were mating, I had a dream: I looked up and there in front of me the male goats which mated with the females were streaked, speckled and mottled. Genesis 31:11 Then, in the dream, the angel of God said to me, 'Ya'akov!' and I replied, 'Here I am.' 12 He continued, 'Raise your eyes now, and look: all the male goats mating with the females are streaked, speckled and mottled; for I have seen everything Lavan has been doing to you. 13 I am the God of Beit-El, where you anointed a standing-stone with oil, where you vowed your vow to me. Now get up, get out of this land, and return to the land where you were born.'" Genesis 31:14 Rachel and Le'ah answered him, "We no longer have any inheritance from our father's possessions; 15 and he considers us foreigners, since he has sold us; moreover, he has consumed everything he received in exchange for us. 16 Nevertheless, the wealth which God has taken away from our father has become ours and our children's anyway; so whatever God has told you to do, do."Genesis 31:17 Then Ya'akov got up, put his sons and wives on the camels, 18 and carried off all his livestock, along with all the riches he had accumulated, the livestock in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-Aram, to go to Yitz'chak his father in the land of Kena'an.Genesis 31:19 Now Lavan had gone to shear his sheep, so Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father, 20 and Ya'akov outwitted Lavan the Arami by not telling him of his intended flight. 21 So he fled with everything he had: he departed, crossed the [Euphrates] River and set out for the hill-country of Gil'ad. 22 Not until the third day was Lavan told that Ya'akov had fled.Genesis 31:23 Lavan took his kinsmen with him and spent the next seven days pursuing Ya'akov, overtaking him in the hill-country of Gil'ad. 24 But God came to Lavan the Arami in a dream that night and said to him, "Be careful that you don't say anything to Ya'akov, either good or bad."Genesis 31:25 When Lavan caught up with Ya'akov, Ya'akov had set up camp in the hill-country; so Lavan and his kinsmen set up camp in the hill-country of Gil'ad. 26 Lavan said to Ya'akov, "What do you mean by deceiving me and carrying off my daughters as if they were captives taken in war? 27 Why did you flee in secret and deceive me and not tell me? I would have sent you off with joy and singing to the music of tambourines and lyres. 28 You didn't even let me kiss my sons and daughters good-bye! What a stupid thing to do! Genesis 31:29 I have it in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night and said, 'Be careful that you don't say anything to Ya'akov, either good or bad.' 30 Granted that you had to leave, because you longed so deeply for your father's house; but why did you steal my gods?" 31 Ya'akov answered Lavan, "Because I was afraid. I said, 'Suppose you take your daughters away from me by force?' 32 But if you find your gods with someone, that person will not remain alive. So with our kinsmen to witness, if you spot anything that I have which belongs to you, take it back." Ya'akov did not know that Rachel had stolen them. 33 Lavan went into Ya'akov's tent, then into Le'ah's tent and into the tent of the two slave-girls; but he did not find them. He left Le'ah's tent and entered Rachel's tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods, put them in the saddle of the camel and was sitting on them. Lavan felt all around the tent but did not find them. 35 She said to her father, "Please don't be angry that I'm not getting up in your presence, but it's the time of my period." So he searched, but he didn't find the household gods.

Even when the snow falls, Adonai has a plan...

Jesus promises that He will in the future, give to the one who is now thirsting from the spring of the water of life without cost.” We must now be thirsting; we must now have a craving for the water of life (the Spirit of God). We must come to the source, to Jesus who is the source. This water will become within us a well of water now springing up to eternal life. In the future drinking this water will be without cost (in Eternity), but for now it costs us everything to drink. We have got to die to live, we must be willing to let God put to death everything within us that does not want Him to be our Adonai. We must count the cost. Jesus is a conquering king, and He wants to defeat all enemies within our soul. Then drinking from this water is free, for we will have been set free from our enemies, and there is no impedance to our drinking. So, drink and keep drinking. Download Transcript

For 52 weeks I will introduce you to the many names and titles of God. The goal is to learn about his nature and to encourage your faith. Week 43: Adonai Tov (The Lord is Good) Scriptures: ‭‭ psalm 25:8, Ezra 3:11, Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭5‬, Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬. God Over Everything T-Shirts https://www.bonfire.com/god-over-everything160-8/

Today we are continuing our study regarding some of the names of God from the Old Testament. Today we will consider God as Adonai.

Adonai Elohim!

Could life get any more complicated? Of course! That's why we need Adonai.

In this message from "THE GREAT I AM" series, Pastor Tim Dunn explores the name Adonai, meaning "Lord" or "Master." Through Scripture, Pastor Dunn highlights how Adonai reveals God's authority, faithfulness, and care for His people. From Abram's trust in God's promise to David's humility and Jesus' ultimate lordship, this sermon emphasizes the transformative power of surrendering to God as Lord of our lives. Whether you're seeking to deepen your faith or understand the meaning of God's sovereignty, this message invites you to call upon Adonai and embrace His lordship in every aspect of life.

He's the one who is denying you children." Genesis 30:3 She said, "Here is my maid Bilhah. Go, sleep with her, and let her give birth to a child that will be laid on my knees, so that through her I too can build a family." 4 So she gave him Bilhah her slave-girl as his wife, and Ya`akov went in and slept with her. 5 Bilhah conceived and bore Ya`akov a son. 6 Rachel said, "G_d has judged in my favor; indeed he has heard me and given me a son." Therefore she called him Dan [he judged]. 7 Bilhah Rachel's slave-girl conceived again and bore Ya`akov a second son. 8 Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister and won," and called him Naftali [my wrestling].Genesis 30:9 When Le'ah saw that she had stopped having children, she took Zilpah her slave-girl and gave her to Ya`akov as his wife. 10 Zilpah Le'ah's slave-girl bore Ya`akov a son; 11 and Le'ah said, "Good fortune has come," calling him Gad [good fortune]. 12 Zilpah Le'ah's slave-girl bore Ya`akov a second son; 13 and Le'ah said, "How happy I am! Women will say I am happy!" and called him Asher [happy].Genesis 30:14 During the wheat harvest season Re'uven went and found mandrakes in the field and brought them to his mother Le'ah. Rachel said to Le'ah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes [so that I can be fertile]." 15 She answered, "Isn't it enough that you have taken away my husband? Do you have to take my son's mandrakes too?" Rachel said, "Very well; in exchange for your son's mandrakes, sleep with him tonight." Genesis 30:16 When Ya`akov came in from the field in the evening, Le'ah went out to meet him and said, "You have to come and sleep with me, because I've hired you with my son's mandrakes." So Ya`akov slept with her that night. 17 G_d listened to Le'ah, and she conceived and bore Ya`akov a fifth son. 18 Le'ah said, "G_d has given me my hire, because I gave my slave-girl to my husband." So she called him Yissakhar [hire, reward]. 19 Le'ah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Ya`akov. 20 Le'ah said, "G_d has given me a wonderful gift. Now at last my husband will live with me, since I have borne him six sons." And she called him Z'vulun [living together]. 21 After this, she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah [controversy over rights].Genesis 30:22 Then G_d took note of Rachel, heeded her prayer and made her fertile. 23 She conceived, had a son and said, "G_d has taken away my disgrace." 24 She called him Yosef [may he add], saying, "May Adonai add to me another son." Genesis 30:25 After Rachel had given birth to Yosef, Ya`akov said to Lavan, "Send me on my way, so that I can return to my own place, to my own country. 26 Let me take my wives, for whom I have served you, and my children; and let me go. You know very well how faithfully I have served you." 27 Lavan answered him, "If you regard me favorably, then please listen: I have observed the signs that Adonai has blessed me on account of you. (v) 28 Name your wages," he said; "I will pay them." 29 Ya`akov replied, "You know how faithfully I have served you and how your livestock have prospered under my care. 30 The few you had before I came have increased substantially; Adonai has blessed you wherever I went. But now, when will I provide for my own household?" 31 Lavan said, "What should I give you?" "Nothing," answered Ya`akov, "just do this one thing for me: once more I will pasture your flock and take care of it. 32 I will also go through the flock and pick out every speckled, spotted or brown sheep, and every speckled or spotted goat; these and their offspring will be my wages. 33 And I will let my integrity stand as witness against me in the future: when you come to look over the animals constituting my wages, every goat that isn't speckled or spotted and every sheep that isn't brown will count as stolen by me." 34 Lavan replied, "As you have said, so be it."Genesis 30:35 That day Lavan removed the male goats that were streaked or spotted and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, every one with white on it, and all the brown sheep; turned them over to his sons; 36 and put three days' distance between himself and Ya`akov. Ya`akov fed the rest of Lavan's flocks.shyster (noun)shy·​ster ˈshī-stər : a person who is professionally unscrupulous especially in the practice of law or politicsGenesis 30:37 Ya`akov took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks on them by peeling off the bark. 38 Then he set the rods he had peeled upright in the watering troughs, so that the animals would see them when they came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink, 39 the animals mated in sight of the rods and gave birth to streaked, speckled and spotted young. 40 Ya`akov divided the lambs and had the animals mate with the streaked and the brown in the flock of Lavan. He also kept his own livestock separate and did not have them mix with Lavan's flock. 41 Whenever the hardier animals came into heat, Ya`akov would set up the rods in the watering troughs; so that the animals would see them and conceive in front of them; 42 but he didn't set up the rods in front of the weaker animals. Thus the more feeble were Lavan's and the stronger Ya`akov's. 43 In this way the man became very rich and had large flocks, along with male and female slaves, camels and donkeys.Credit to:https://unsplash.com/@reskp - picture of envious woman

THE GIFT HORSE This week we will do more work with the gift exchange between the bride and bridegroom. These exchanges occur from the time between their betrothal at Mt. Sinai and when the Bride is drawn into the Cloud of His Presence at the resurrection. To review from last week, the Bride sent gifts to the Groom to build a place for His Presence to dwell. In return, the Groom gifted Betzalel and Oholiav with the Divine ruach to transform those gifts into the Mishkan (Tabernacle). The Bride brought the Bridegroom thirteen items as gifts for the building of the Mishkan: Gold Silver Copper Turquoise wool Purple wool Scarlet wool Linen Goat hair Red-dyed ram skins Tachash skins Acacia wood Shoham stones Stones for the settings This list does not include items that were depletable, such as olive oil and spices for anointment. Then the Bridegroom gave her similar gifts, each mirroring one of her gifts to Him for the preparation of a Mishkan to make a place for His Presence to dwell with her: “I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck. I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 16:10-14) Enumerated for easier reading: Embroidered cloth Tachash (porpoise or badger) sandals Fine linen (priesthood) Silk ("cloud of glory”) Ornaments Bracelets (tablets of Ten Words) Necklace (words of Torah bound around the neck/heart) Nose ring (justice) Earrings (Shma) Crown of beauty (Divine Presence Is 60:19) Gold (purity of Torah) Silver (redemption) Fame (of the Groom's Name) Again, the pattern is that the Bride brings earthly gifts, which the Bridegroom matches with spiritual gifts. The Bride contributes earthly resources, and the Groom mirrors them with Heavenly resources. If she understands that that are two realms, and she understands He is Creator and she is created, she realizes the gifts weren't hers at all. It was because of Adonai that the Hebrews plundered the Egyptians. He redesignated the wealth of the Egyptians to the Hebrews. The gifts Israel gave were His. He created them. It's all His. Adonai puts wealth in our pockets, so we can't think when we contribute something to the congregation that it's coming out of our pockets. It's coming out of His creation. He even gives the ability to earn that money or that gift. Without His giving the ability to earn, we could bring no gift. Lots of people on this earth do not have the ability to earn anything at all. They have disabilities. Some can only earn a little. Simply to be born with the ability to go out and earn, labor, and collect that paycheck is a gift from Heaven. We are brought up to believe we earn our paychecks, but they all originate in His Creation, and Elohim chose to make us able-bodied and healthy so we could give back to Him. He lets you put it in your pocket as if it's yours. But we can't be too sassy because He created both the Bride and the earth that yields its resources to her. That's hard to acknowledge when we associate reward with the work that we do. Yes, you contributed. You contributed your earthly natural resources to that paycheck, and you contributed some of that treasure back to Him. This made it holy. Designated. Just like the Bride. She is holy to the Groom.

From faith to famine - Dealing with Bad Stock OptionsWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2022%3A6&version=CJBProverbs 22:6Train a child in the way he [should] go; and, even when old, he will not swerve from it.Genesis 29:1 Continuing his journey, Ya`akov came to the land of the people of the east. 2 As he looked, he saw a well in a field; and there were three flocks of sheep lying there next to it; because they watered the sheep from that well. The stone on the well's mouth was large, 3 and only when all the flocks had gathered there would they roll the stone away from the opening of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back in its place on the well's opening.Genesis 29:4 Ya`akov said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They answered, "We're from Haran." 5 He asked them, "Do you know Lavan the [grand]son of Nachor?" They said, "We do." 6 He asked them, "Are things going well with him?" "Yes," they answered, "and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep." Genesis 29:7 He said, "Look, there's still plenty of daylight left; and it isn't time to bring the animals home; so water the sheep; then go, and put them out to pasture." 8 They answered, "We can't, not until all the flocks have been gathered together, and they roll the stone away from the opening of the well. That's when we water the sheep."Genesis 29:9 While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, because she took care of them. 10 When Ya`akov saw Rachel the daughter of Lavan his mother's brother, and the sheep of Lavan his mother's brother, Ya`akov went up and rolled the stone away from the opening of the well and watered the flock of Lavan his mother's brother. Genesis 29:11 Ya`akov kissed Rachel and wept aloud. 12 Ya`akov told Rachel that he was her father's relative, and that he was Rivkah's son; and she ran and told her father. 13 When Lavan heard the news of Ya`akov his sister's son, he ran to meet him, hugged him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Ya`akov told Lavan all that had happened. Genesis 29:14 Lavan said to him, "You are indeed my own flesh and blood." After Ya`akov had stayed with him for a whole month, 15 Lavan said to him, "Why should you work for me for nothing, just because you are my relative? Tell me how much I should pay you." 16 Now Lavan had two daughters; the name of the older was Le'ah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Le'ah's eyes were weak; but Rachel was good-looking, with beautiful features.Genesis 29:18 Ya`akov had fallen in love with Rachel and said, "I will work for you seven years in exchange for Rachel your younger daughter." 19 Lavan answered, "Better that I give her to you than to someone else; stay with me." 20 So Ya`akov worked seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him, because he was so much in love with her.Genesis 29:21 Ya`akov said to Lavan, "Give me my wife, since my time is finished, so that I can start living with her." 22 Lavan gathered all the men of the place and gave a banquet. 23 In the evening he took Le'ah his daughter and brought her to Ya`akov, and he went in and slept with her. 24 Lavan also gave his slave-girl Zilpah to his daughter Le'ah as her slave-girl.Genesis 29:25 In the morning Ya`akov saw that he was with Le'ah, and he said to Lavan, "What kind of thing is this that you've done to me? Didn't I work for you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?" 26 Lavan answered, "In our place that isn't how it's done, to give the younger daughter before the firstborn. 27 Finish the marriage week of this one, and we'll give you the other one also in exchange for the work you will do for me during yet another seven years." Genesis 29:28 Ya`akov agreed to this, so he finished her week, and Lavan gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. 29 Lavan also gave to his daughter Rachel his slave-girl Bilhah as her slave-girl. 30 So not only did Ya`akov go in and sleep with Rachel, but he also loved Rachel more than Le'ah. Then he served Lavan another seven years.Genesis 29:31 Adonai saw that Le'ah was unloved, so he made her fertile, while Rachel remained childless. 32 Le'ah conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Re'uven [see, a son!], for she said, "It is because Adonai has seen how humiliated I have been, but now my husband will love me." Genesis 29:33 She conceived again, gave birth to a son and said, "It is because Adonai has heard that I am unloved; therefore he has given me this son also." So she named him Shim`on [hearing].Genesis 29:34 Once more she conceived and had a son; and she said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore she named him Levi [joining].Genesis 29:35 She conceived yet again, had a son and said, "This time I will praise Adonai"; therefore she named him Y'hudah [praise]. Then she stopped having children.

Eternity Wear A few weeks ago, we looked at Yeshua's parables of great treasure. In the Song of Songs, there is another opportunity to see the fruits of wisdom operating in the Bride who awaits the resurrection of the dead. It is only then that she will see the real fruits of her labor for the Kingdom. The verse in the Song lumps all the choice fruits in there together. We're much more familiar with an orchard of pomegranates, but other good fruits might be planted with purpose. A henna plant would be planted with purpose in order to harvest the dye out of it. A nard plant would be planted with purpose in order to harvest this very valuable aromatic. All three products that are mentioned in this orchard of "shoots" are things that are not random.They are planted with purpose because the produce from them and the benefit derived from them is extremely valuable. The orchard planting requires a lot of effort, patience, and planning, but perhaps there was one early decision that determined whether the orchard would even be planted. There are some opportunities that are going to be for us like Jacob's glimpse into the gateway to Heaven. We're going to realize a unique opportunity Adonai drops into our laps. We're going to say, "How awesome is this place?" But there's really only one chance. It's one of those things where you have to be quick. So many opportunities out there aren't time dependent, but every now and then, the Father puts something before you that is so awesome. You know it's awesome when you encounter it. And you know there's a danger that if you keep going through life, and you don't deal with that thing as fast as you should, it will be an opportunity lost. And this is what Yeshua says in Matthew. He says, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” (Mt 13:43-46) What these two parables have in common, other than a great treasure, is that it cost the buyers everything they had to obtain that great treasure. They really only had one opportunity. If either of those men had delayed, if they had not wanted to risk selling everything for that treasure, there would have been no great return. The question of the treasure is, "Do you really want to start back from scratch?" You have to build from scratch, even though it's a great treasure. You have to leave first things behind with their security. Paul had to do it. He took three years apart to re-think everything he knew in light of the revelation of Yeshua in the Torah. In order to realize the potential of the great treasure, that once-in-a-lifetime revelation, there should be no delay. Had the first man delayed, somebody else could have bought the field. He realizes that when he sees this treasure, it will require everything he owns in order to go back and buy it. Maybe he already had a house. Maybe he already had two fine cars. Maybe he already had the furniture his wife liked. Maybe he had a swimming pool. The house and neighborhood and boat or club membership may be everything that he wanted… and developed through great care and sacrifice. But now he realizes that he must relinquish everything he has accumulated to obtain that treasure. And then he'll have to figure out how to invest it because he's just sold the security that he had. And then in the second parable, the merchant sells pearls, so it's certain that he already has a pocket full of fine pearls. But then he finds that one pearl. And he will have to sell every pearl he has in order to buy that one. In either case, if they delay, somebody else could buy that field. Somebody else could buy that pearl. They did not have plenty of time.
