A NEW SWEEP OF THE AGE OLD BABYLONIAN TYRANT MANIFESTS ITSELF IN THE WESTERN SOCIETIES NOT ONLY ON THE ROUND TABLES AS THE MEN OF THE WORLD MEET TO DECIDE THE FATE FOR ALL 62 NATIONS.  IT LIES UNEXPECTEDLY AND NOW MORE AND MORE APPARENTLY RAMPANT WITHIN THE CHURCHES OF THE WEST AS EACH MAN MUST DECIDE WHOM HE WILL SUPPORT – THE GOD OF AVRAHAM, YITZHAK AND YAAKOV OR THE GOD OF… WELL WESTERN CHURCH.  LEADERS AND CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERS ARE PUTTING THEIR HEADS IN THE SANDS OF DENIAL, REFUSING TO MAKE A CLEAR STAND FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL, AS THE ROOT OF THEIR FAITH, AS AN ONGOING ELEMENT TO THE WORD OF GOD AND WHAT HE IS DOING IN THE WORLD AND WILL DO IN THE FUTURE, AND THEY ALLOW MEN CLEARLY OPPOSED TO THE WILL OF GOD FOR ISRAEL TO HEAD THEIR CONNECTED CHURCES.  ANTI-SEMITISM IN NEW SUITS IS COMING FORTH AS WALLS OF DIVISION MUST GO UP WHEN EACH MAN MUST DECIDE FOR HIMSELF.  AS THEY DECIDE THE FATE OF ISRAEL, IN THEIR PERSEPCTIVE, THEY ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY DECIDING THEIR OWN FATE.

Succot

With the high holidays, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, just recently behind us, a time of both reflection and celebration, the Jewish New Year in full swing, winter is here and we are speeding towards the end of the year and even greater celebration!

For now, every week is a celebration on Shabbat (tomorrow!) as a benefit and a blessing - not a law or a curse.  To rest, reflect, enjoy time together and share in the meal, relationship and the word that we have been given and that has been passed down to us.  The first feast celebrated - Shabbat - and one in which Yeshua celebrated himself, part of the benefits that have never disappeared but have been altered many years ago to a more roman way of doing things, on a different day, with different names.  Hence the church as it is today and further and further away from its Hebraic Jewish Roots.

Shabbat is to be enjoyed and is for all.

Shabbat Shalom!
