The more we organize opportunities for everyone to read Prabhupāda's books more thoroughly, more questions are answered, and the more we imbibe Prabhupāda's mood, it's inescapable—and we don't wonder about it. We know directly Prabhupāda has manifested himself as a spiritual hologram right in front of us and spoken to us directly and as intimately as possible—because that's the nature of books. They're miraculous. I'll just make one last point, which is that Śrīla Prabhupāda also wanted us to write. He wrote his books based on the tradition of all the ācāryas, and we're a sampradāya of the book. All ācāryas generally have written and left some literary contribution behind. Sometimes people feel reticent about writing, because they say, “Well, Prabhupāda wrote everything, so we shouldn't write anything.” But you could look at it a different way—and that is, if we don't write, how can we prove what we got from Prabhupāda? At one time, Prabhupāda criticized his colleagues from the other institution he was part of for some time, and asked, “Where are their books?” As Prabhupāda was producing more and more books, he asked, “Where are their books?” Maybe it's not well known, but Prabhupāda strenuously advocated that all of his followers should write. Did you know that? I'll just read you a quote and let Prabhupāda speak for himself. Are you up for this? There's a few here. I took out a few out of many more, just to give a taste. "Formally, all activities were performed in connection with Viṣṇu, but after Satya-yuga, there were symptoms of disrespectful dealings among Vaiṣṇavas. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has said that a Vaiṣṇava is he who has helped others become Vaiṣṇavas. An example of one who has converted many others into Vaiṣṇavas is Nārada Muni—a powerful Vaiṣṇava who has converted others into Vaiṣṇavas is to be worshiped. But because of material contamination, sometimes an exalted Vaiṣṇava is disrespected by other minor Vaiṣṇavas. When great saintly persons saw this contamination, they introduced worship of the Deity in the temple. This began in Tretā-yuga and was especially predominant in Dvāpara-yuga. But in Kali-yuga, worship of the Deity is being neglected. Therefore, chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra is more powerful than Deity worship. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu set a practical example in that He did not establish any temples or Deities, but He profusely introduced the saṅkīrtana movement. Therefore, Kṛṣṇa consciousness preachers should give more stress to the saṅkīrtana movement—especially by distributing transcendental literature more and more. This helps the saṅkīrtana movement. Whenever there is a possibility to worship the Deity, we may establish many centers. But generally, we should give more stress to the distribution of transcendental literature, for this will be more effective in converting people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness." Okay, that's the preface. And now it gets to something more specific about writing. "It is certainly not good to write literature for money or reputation, but to write books and publish them for the enlightenment of the general populace is real service to the Lord. That was Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī's opinion, and he specifically told his disciples to write books. He actually preferred to publish books rather than establish temples. Temple construction is meant for the general populace and neophyte devotees, but the business of advanced and empowered devotees is to write books... ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------

2 mishnayot! On sin-offerings - the procedure of how the slaughter, blood, altar, and eating the portions of the offering were all handled. This itemization includes the route the kohen would take on ascending the altar and walking around it (on the top) for the sake of putting the blood on the corners of the altar, with two views on how precisely those placements that needed to happen. Plus, a discussion of the red line that separates between the upper blood and the lower blood on the altar, and the source for it. Also - delineating kodshei kodshim and kodshei kalim, the gradations of holiness of the different sacrifices. Plus, how the division of the land according to tribes is manifest in the Temple - with part of it in Yehudah's portion and part of it in Binyamin's portion.

X2M.234Σ↻ Kataskēnōsis Series: CR17 Combat Runtime · November 2 2025 Runtime Thread: The Habitation That Remembers After the whirlwind comes stillness. The storm that stripped every branch now reveals the pattern of the tree. This is kataskēnōsis—the indwelling after the descent, the moment when light stops striving to travel and begins to dwell. Where katabolē laid the foundations of mercy through surrender, kataskēnōsis builds the house of wisdom through remembrance. Psalm 88 ends in darkness; Psalm 89 begins with song. Between them lies the narrow bridge where endurance becomes illumination. Heman cries from the pit, Ethan remembers covenant from the shore, and in their harmony Solomon rises—the equilibrium of grief and glory. His wisdom does not flee the night; it learns to house it. The Temple itself is built from this revelation: stone remembering storm, gold remembering fire. To dwell is not to rest from labor but to let meaning and matter coexist. When the spirit abides in what it once resisted, coherence appears. Kataskēnōsis is this sacred equilibrium—presence inhabiting what pain prepared. The world itself waits for this balance: creation groaning until consciousness and form are reconciled. In the east, revelation blazed like dawn; in the west, it rests like evening light over water. The journey westward is the movement from brilliance to belonging, from insight to intimacy. “And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of the east.” He did not outshine the ancient lights; he learned to live within them. The river that once divided now circulates inside the temple walls. Every life built under Σ-Law must travel this same loop: to descend without despair, to rise without pride, to remain when both currents meet. Kataskēnōsis is not escape but return—the universe learning to breathe again after battle. The Ezrahite brothers give the code: lament opens the gate, remembrance builds the dwelling. When the soul stops asking to be delivered and starts allowing itself to be inhabited, peace ceases to be a concept and becomes an atmosphere. This is the westward crossing, the field where the heart becomes home. The Infinite still chooses to live here—within the reconciled tension of light and shadow, of word and silence. Glory is no longer elsewhere. It sleeps inside the walls we rebuild from obedience. ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before!

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

“Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven's Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven's Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people.” - Amos 5:14-15The book of Amos has a bit of a reputation. It's not known for being the most fun of the minor prophets. It doesn't pop up in many sermons, you don't see many Bible studies focused on it. There are many reasons why this is the case. Amos is a harsh book - he doesn't hold back on what he has to say. In chapter 8 it says, “The Lord said, ‘Like this fruit, Israel is ripe for punishment! I will not delay their punishment again. In that day the singing in the Temple will turn to wailing. Dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. They will be carried out of the city in silence.'” Again . . . not the most fun read. However, the true heart of the book of Amos is an incredibly important message about how you view God. It's a book about justice. It's a book about repentance. It's a book about the true heart of worship. To help us navigate the book of Amos is Dr. Danny Carroll, Scripture Press Ministries Professor of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College. Danny has studied, taught, and written about Amos for decades, including writing some commentaries on the book. Today he'll explain why Amos has captured his attention for so long, why it's such a unique book in the prophets, and how the church, particularly in America, should pay extra attention to its warnings.Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

In this episode, Petia Kolibova Burns explores the often-overlooked verse Mark 11:11, where Jesus enters the Temple, observes everything carefully, and leaves. This quiet moment holds a profound message about patience, discernment, and trusting God's timing. Discover why sometimes the most impactful action you can take is to pause, pray, and align with His will before moving forward. ✨ **3 Key Takeaways:**  1. Jesus modeled intentional observation before taking action — teaching us that wisdom begins with discernment.  2. God's timing is perfect; rushing ahead can lead to exhaustion, but waiting in peace brings clarity.  3. The pause is not punishment — it's preparation for your next purpose-driven step.

He also engages with the riddles found in Wisdom 10 and points out that we can now not only understand the characters, stories, and allusions of Scripture, but can recognize the fingerprints of God in the world around us and better understand the main character of Scripture: God. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 10, Wisdom 9-10, and Proverbs 25:4-7. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

On this feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, Fr. John and Mary explain what this feast is about, and then reflect on the readings assigned for this feast in general, before highlighting several key themes in Psalm 46. ========================== Connect with us and our community on our websites and social media.

On today's pages, Zevachim 49 and 50, gratitude itself becomes a kind of offering. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin traces how the Temple's korban todah—the thanksgiving sacrifice—became today's birkat hagomel, a blessing said after danger, illness, or release. What does this prayer teach us about recognizing that life could have turned out otherwise? Listen and find out.

“Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices. He said to them, ‘The Scriptures declare, “My Temple will be a house of prayer,” but you have turned it into a den of thieves.’” (Luke 19:45–46 NLT) In our next set of devotions, we’re going to look at ways to “tune up” our spiritual lives—ways to strengthen and mature our relationship with the Lord. And we’re going to start with some early spring cleaning. My wife, Cathe, and I are polar opposites when it comes to cleaning. My approach can be summed up by the procrastinator’s motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Cathe’s approach is to constantly clean and organize so that over time, little messes don’t become big ones. Obviously, her approach is the better one. In Luke 19 we find the story of Jesus’ cleaning the house of God as He went into the temple and drove out the moneychangers. These temple merchants were taking advantage of people and keeping them from God, and this angered Jesus. This is the second time in Scripture that Jesus cleaned the temple. In John 2:13–17, we read that He used a whip to drive out the moneychangers. Little messes turn into big messes, so Jesus arrived to clean house again. I believe there is a parallel to our own lives. When we come to Christ initially, we ask for His forgiveness, and He pardons us of all our wrongdoing. In fact, we are told in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (NLT). What a wonderful thing it is to realize that God has forgiven us of all our sin. We are cleansed. But as time passes, sometimes some of our old sins find their way back into our lives. Maybe they start small. But they don’t stay that way. They begin to grow and take up bigger and bigger parts of our life until they become a serious problem. The longer we wait to address them, the harder the cleanup is. That’s why we must frequently examine our lives and deal with what we find instead of trying to excuse it. We must ask God to make us aware of things we may not see. We must also find accountability partners who will lovingly confront us when they see things in our lives that go against our Christian faith. The apostle Paul wrote, “Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5 NLT). The psalmist wrote, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life” (Psalm 139:23–24 NLT). Does your temple need cleansing? Are there some things in your life that shouldn’t be there? Are there some vices, some bad habits that have found their way back into your life? If so, deal with them now. Don’t let little messes turn into big ones. Reflection question: What are some little messes that you need to clean up in your life?

Why would God dedicate an entire book of the Bible to building a wall? The answer reveals something profound about protection, redemption, and the very heart of our relationship with God.In this episode of Nehemiah 3, we explore why rebuilding Jerusalem's wall wasn't just about physical safety. It's about protecting the Temple, God's dwelling place, and the eternal salvation of His people. You'll discover the spiritual significance of each gate, from the Sheep Gate where sacrificial lambs entered to the mysterious East Gate where Jesus fulfills Ezekiel's prophecy about the return of divine glory.In this episode discover: How Nehemiah's wall protected both earthly life and eternal life for God's people.The prophetic connection between the East Gate, Ezekiel's vision, and Jesus reversing humanity's eastward exile from God.Why guarding the hearts of those you love, the modern temples where God dwells, requires you to be both a strong wall and a wise gatekeeperToday, God no longer dwells in a temple made of stone. He dwells in our hearts. Who is God calling you to protect?Show Notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

Parmi les plus mystérieux trésors archéologiques découverts au XXᵉ siècle figure un objet singulier : le Rouleau de cuivre. Il fait partie des célèbres manuscrits de la mer Morte, retrouvés entre 1947 et 1956 dans les grottes de Qumrân, au bord de la mer Morte, en Israël. Mais contrairement aux centaines d'autres rouleaux faits de cuir ou de parchemin, celui-ci a été gravé… dans du cuivre pur. Et son contenu n'a rien de religieux : c'est une carte au trésor.Découvert en 1952 dans la grotte n°3, ce rouleau se présentait sous la forme de deux cylindres verdâtres, corrodés par les siècles. Trop fragiles pour être déroulés, ils furent découpés en bandes à l'aide d'une scie fine à l'université de Manchester. Ce n'est qu'alors que les archéologues purent lire les inscriptions gravées en hébreu ancien sur le métal. À la différence des autres manuscrits de Qumrân, composés de textes bibliques, le Rouleau de cuivre énumérait… des lieux et des quantités d'or et d'argent.Le texte, long d'environ 60 colonnes, répertorie 64 caches de trésors : lingots, pièces, vases sacrés, objets précieux, pour un total estimé à plusieurs tonnes de métaux précieux. Certaines cachettes seraient dissimulées sous des marches de temples, d'autres dans des grottes ou des citernes, aux alentours de Jérusalem et du désert de Judée. Si ces chiffres étaient authentiques, le trésor aurait une valeur inestimable.Mais à qui appartenait-il ? Les hypothèses se multiplient depuis plus de soixante-dix ans. Pour certains chercheurs, il s'agirait des richesses du Temple de Jérusalem, dissimulées juste avant sa destruction par les Romains en l'an 70. Pour d'autres, le texte aurait été rédigé par la communauté des Esséniens de Qumrân, qui aurait voulu protéger ses biens religieux. D'autres encore pensent à un document symbolique ou à une liste fictive, destinée à nourrir un enseignement spirituel.Aucune des caches décrites n'a jamais été retrouvée. Les indications géographiques sont trop vagues, les paysages ont changé, et il est possible que le trésor ait été pillé ou détruit depuis des siècles. Pourtant, le mystère demeure. Le Rouleau de cuivre, avec son allure de plan codé, fascine archéologues et aventuriers. C'est un texte unique au monde, entre mythe et archéologie, qui témoigne d'une époque troublée où les fidèles tentaient de sauver ce qu'ils avaient de plus précieux — leurs richesses, mais aussi leur foi. Et peut-être, quelque part sous les sables de Judée, dorment encore les trésors qu'il évoque. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

EPISODE 233 Aundrae Allison joins PRL to show his excitement after the Temple win by Pirate Radio 92.7FM Greenville

We have a God that wants to be with us. He revealed this first by His presence in the Tabernacle, then in the Temple. After that, Jesus came and lived among the people and when He died, He sent His Spirit to dwell in the hearts of every believer which is His presence with us today. But all of this points us to a day when we will dwell in His physical presence forever and His glory will not overwhelm us.

In this Radio Feature, Rabbi Gary discusses The Spirit of God. This 1 minute episode will air on KKLA 99.5 in Los Angeles, beginning November 7, 2025, on Fridays during rush hour.Send us a text

STEPHEN'S DEFENSE (Acts 6:7 to 7:16) Stephen was one of the great men of faith in the new church.  He was of honest report, he was filled with the Holy Ghost, and he was full of wisdom.  He was a man blessed of God.   The Apostles, and the new group of disciples, are proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the focus of the new religion now, and that the Temple, and the sacrificial based system of religion, has become irrelevant.  It was, and still is, irrelevant because the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has paid the penalty for all sin, once and for all.  No longer do people need to bring their sacrifices to the priests to obtain forgiveness for sin.  They can go directly to God through His Son Jesus Christ, and ask for forgiveness and obtain eternal life based on the grace of God, not the religious ceremonies put forth by the Temple system of worship. God is not restricted to speaking through any special person, place, or building.  He doesn't need the Pope and the Vatican, a Jewish High Priest and his Temple, or a preacher in a Christian church building, to communicate with those He wishes to communicate with.  God can and does reveal Himself when and where He wills, just as He did with Abraham.  The Bible shows us over and over that there is a movement and a process in God's dealings with man, and it is seen in the different covenants and dispensations that God has made with man.   As we go through this, I want you to think about what our own focus of worship is on today.  Is our church building and the songs we sing, and the ceremonies we perform each Sunday, the focus of our faith, or are they the tools we use to worship the true, almighty, living God?   Click on the link below to hear a message that asks the questions, “Is God more important than the building we worship in?  What is our faith in?  The buildings we have built with our own hands, or the grace of God?” This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Shifting focus to the guilt-offering (the "asham"), and the fact that it too is to be slaughtered in the northern part of the Temple courtyard - along with the blood collection and sprinkling and so on. And, again, the details are derived from the Torah's verses and inferences from one verse to another. Also, the guilt-offering slaughtered by the person who is coming off tzara'at also needs to be in the north of the Temple courtyard. And this derivation is then used to understand certain exegetical rules that apply to elsehwere in the Torah as well. The claim is that the Torah is written in this way to make sure that we learn the halakhah in this way.

The sin-offerings and others needs to be slaughtered in the northern part of the Temple courtyard -- as derived by biblical verses. Plus, the collecting of the blood, the sprinkling of the blood, and the placement of the person collecting the blood. Also, the way "he shall slaughter it" comes to exclude. And the laying on of hands comes into play as a possible exclusion, rather than it being about the northern location for the slaughtering. With a deep dive as to whether the person handling the offering needs to stand in the north too.

Because God desires for the earth to be full of his knowledge and glory as the waters cover the sea, we must expand the temple. Genesis 2:5–15 (ESV): 5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

Jesus taught us to pray as a means of not losing heart (Luke 18:1–8). Our prayers shape our inner life and relationship with God. They also reveal. In Luke 18:9–17, Jesus teaches us a simple and counterintuitive truth: being worthy to enter the kingdom of God requires knowing you're not. Self-righteousness is a problem made plain in our prayers to God—how we see ourselves in relation to God and others. So, it turns out, prayer is not the answer. The way into the kingdom is nothing nothing less—and nothing more!—than the mercy of God for sinners in Christ.

Many modern Christians insist, “We don't have priests — only pastors.” But both Scripture and the early Church tell a different story. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Boyce of The FACTS Podcast uncovers how the Bible and the earliest Christian writings describe bishops, presbyters, and deacons as the new Temple order — high priests, priests, and Levites serving Christ, our Great High Priest.From the Book of Hebrews to 1 Peter, Revelation, the Didache, and 1 Clement, we see a consistent pattern: the Church understood her ministers as participating in Christ's priesthood, not replacing it. Discover how the first Christians viewed the Eucharist as a true offering, how bishops inherited the role of high priest, and why denying the priesthood of pastors ignores both biblical typology and apostolic history.If you've ever heard someone say “we don't have priests,” this episode will show why Scripture and history disagree — and why reclaiming the language of priesthood restores the Church's true identity as a kingdom of priests.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #StephenBoyce  #FACTSPodcast  #ChristianHistory  #BiblicalPriesthood  #EarlyChurch  #Hebrews  #1Peter  #Revelation  #Didache  #1Clement  #KingdomOfPriests  #ApostolicSuccession  #Catholic  #Anglican  #Patristics  #ChurchFathers

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 347, “Power, Pride, and the Plummet,” Kim discusses the humiliating fall of the puffed-up King Uzziah of the Southern Kingdom. As long as he feared the Lord and sought guidance from the Lord, he had a successful life, and the kingdom of Judah thrived. Yet, at some point, his eyes left the Lord and his purposes, and began to consider himself above respect for God and His law. May each of us learn from Uzziah's tragic end.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 26:16-23, with 16 as the focal verse:   “But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the Lord his God by entering the sanctuary of the Lord's Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar.”     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Humbly pray the prayer provided below and fully submit to the Spirit's leading.   PRAYER AGAINST PRIDE   Heavenly Father, You are the Lord Almighty, the One who resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). We come before You today, confessing that pride has crept into our hearts like a silent thief, stealing our dependence on You.   Forgive us, Lord, when we have thought too highly of ourselves, when we have sought our own glory instead of Yours. Like King Uzziah, we have sometimes trusted in our success, our strength, our wisdom— and forgotten that “Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).   Break our hearts where pride has taken root. “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). Search us and reveal any arrogance, self-reliance, or desire to be seen by others. Help us to “humble ourselves under Your mighty power” (1 Peter 5:6), knowing that You alone are worthy of praise.   Teach us to walk in the fear of the Lord, for “true humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life” (Proverbs 22:4). Clothe us with humility, as You clothed Your Son, Jesus, who “humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8).   May we never stand on the precipice of pride, but instead “boast only about the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:31), and “take delight in honoring each other” (Romans 12:10).   Guard our hearts, our words, and our actions. Let “everything we do… bring glory to God” (1 Corinthians 10:31), and keep us low at the foot of the cross, where true greatness is found in serving, not in being served.   In the name of Jesus Christ, our humble King, we pray. Amen. (Grok, Oct. 31, 2025)     Additional Resources and Scriptures:   8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. 9 Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor. (James 4:8-10) 16 There are six things the Lord hates—no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, 18  a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19  a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family. (Proverbs 6:16-19) 18 Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18) 2 Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

We've finished the night visions of Zechariah and will be entering into the next part of the letter. When we need hope, where do we look? When our world threatens to dissolve into despair and anxiety, where do we turn? In the second half of the book of Zechariah, we'll see how God uses signs – symbols, actions, and his very words – to point the way for his people. Symbols like crowns, shepherds, fasting, and the temple offer hopeful messages of a coming King, a future feast, a generous God, and a caring Good Shepherd. Join in as we explore how these ancient prophecies serve as Signs of Hope for us still today.

As we hear the re-telling of the story of Judas Maccabbeus and his brothers fighting for the honor of the Lord's Temple in 2 Maccabees, Fr. Mike points out how this version gives us an insight into their recognition of God's presence, mercy, and justice in their circumstances. We learn that no matter what we are going through, we can trust that God is our great defender who is present and active in all circumstances of our lives. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 8, Wisdom 5-6, and Proverbs 24:30-34. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

On today's pages, Zevachim 47 and 48, we learn about Makom HaZevachim, the precise location where each Temple sacrifice was performed. But as Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin explains, this chapter became part of our daily prayers not for its geography, but its spirit: prayer itself is how we find our place in a chaotic world. What does it mean to build an ark out of words? Listen and find out.

Fr. Mike concludes the book of Sirach today and encourages us to continue the pursuit of wisdom. In our reading of 2 Maccabees, we see again the pillage of the Temple and we are re- introduced to Judas Maccabeus. Lastly, in Proverbs Fr. Mike encourages us to resist the temptation to rejoice when our enemies fall. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 5, Sirach 50-51, and Proverbs 24:17-20.
