I started a new YouTube channel yesterday devoted to literature and letter writing. https://www.youtube.com/@TheVi....ctorianLetterWriters

So many are susceptible to deception right now and that’s why they can hear scripture about one thing and believe it means the exact opposite. The elect are those who have the testimony of Yeshua/Jesus as their Messiah and are actively pursing walking out all of His instructions that are possible to be walked out today. Even though we look forward to Yeshua’s return, the horror and heartbreak of this world still affects us; but we can overcome them before they have the opportunity to deceive us.

ROSH CHODESH 8

Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” This statement that our Creator makes to Abraham is a tremendous promise of blessing and it comes with a dire warning. The warning is not for Abraham but for those who speak against Abraham. No one who speaks against Abraham will be receive the blessings from our Creator, instead they will receive His cursing.

Lily Portion for Today:

Ladies, teach your families and children to live for today but to hold their hands open for tomorrow. Teach them to anticipate the future, and it will change with joy. There is a seed of Elohiym's Love in every event, every circumstance, every unpleasant situation in which they may find themselves. Be blessed.

4 Horsemen - Rev 6

So, I was brought up (rather "scared up" ) in the church about the 4 Horsemen and the 7-year Tribulation. The movie "A Thief in the Night" was burned into my memory as a teenager.

I now understand that the tribulation only starts at the halfway mark, so after the first 3.5 years. So the Tribulation is only 3.5 years and then that gets shortened or no flesh would survive...

Reading Rev 6:8 with more attention yesterday, it dawned on me that only a 1/4 of the world will suffer at that point. It reads:

"They (the 4 horsemen) were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and by the wild beasts of the earth."

Yes, persecution will take place across the world as per Matt 24, but in some regions more than others as each of the 7 churches are given different instructions to prepare themselves spiritually for what lies ahead.

As example, Ukraine as well as Israel are currently in wars and there is a lot of suffering there, but here in the UK the consequences are higher food and gas prices. Sitting here in my living room this morning, my life isn't being threatened and I don't feel famine. Yet that is what some people in Ukraine and Israel might be experiencing.

So, my thinking is that the impact of the 4 Horsemen are felt worldwide, but the direct suffering is localized. From the 6th seal onwards, it is a worldwide chastisement though...

Am I missing something in my thinking?

Thought For Today: Tuesday October 16

The work of creating is the act of love. Our Elohiym Who flung from His Fingertips this universe filled with galaxies and stars, penguins and puffins... peaches and pears and a world full of children, made in His Own Image - is our Adonai Who loves with magnificent, unconditional intensity.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and all the personal promises it contains, especially Your promise of fruitfulness and prosperity to those who meditate on Your Word daily. I claim this promise as I pray and I promise You that I will be one of those who reaps Your promises of fruitfulness and prosperity as a result of regular Bible mediation. Help me Father, to walk not in the council of the unYHVHly. Help me not to stand in the path of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful. My delight is in Your Word and I will meditate on it’s precepts both day and night. Father, make me strong and courageous to observe and to do according to Your Word. Through Your grace I will not turn to the right hand or to the left and this will lead me into the prosperity You have promised me. Father, I commit myself not to let Your Word depart from my mouth. I will meditate in it day and night and this will lead me to do what Your Word says. The promised result will be my inheritance; it will make my way prosperous and it will ensure my good success. Thank You Father for Your promise of prosperity and success, which comes from meditating upon Your Word. Father I will attend to Your Words and incline my ear to Your sayings. I will keep them before my eyes and in the midst of my heart, for they are life to me and health to all my flesh. Enable me to walk in Your statutes and keep Your Commandments and to do them as Your Word directs. Make Your Face shine upon me and be gracious unto me. I will always endeavour to obey and serve You Father and I know this will permit me to spend my days in prosperity and my years in pleasure. Thank You my almighty YHVH. Father, thank You for Your promises to make me the head and not the tail and to place me above only and not beneath. I thank You that You establish my thoughts as I commit my works totally to You. I love You Father and I love Your Word. I promise that I will meditate on Your precepts and have respect to Your ways. I will always delight myself in Your statutes and I will not forget Thy Word. Thank You for Your Word. In the Name of Yeshua I pray, amen.
