Per Exodus 29:6 the High Priest is to wear a crown, while the king is to write himself a copy of the Torah. Leaders must hold themselves to higher standards. They must guard their ears, actions, and every step (v20).

The roles of priest and king somewhat overlap and this foreshadows the Melchizedek nature of Messiah's priesthood. The High priest is man elevated toward God. Messiah is God brought down to man. Like Messiah #yeshua, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, the Aaronic priesthood is forever, according to Exodus. It cannot be revoked so long as heaven and earth remain or else God lied to Aaron and Pinchas. Who is God that he should lie?

Unlike Yeshua, however, the Aaronic priesthood is permanently tied to Zion. Yeshua is a priest of a higher order and serves in a higher temple.

The evidence stacking against the Babylonian state known as Israel for the mass shooting at the music festival is enough to condemn them as terrorists. Purposely targeting civilians for the anti Hamas propaganda. All I gotta say is if you terrorize a people and they rise up to fight back, you are not a victim, you are a criminal. And Yahuah's Torah condemns both sides.

Lily Portion for Today: Tuesday February 20

Each time your children and families confess that they believe in the Holy Spirit, they confess that they believe in our Living Elohiym, Who is willing to make their hearts His Home. (Prayer: Your Highness, fill my children, fill my family, unite us in our zeal for Your Kingdom. Touch us with Your fire and prepare us to be true messengers, rejoicing and proclaiming Your Name wherever we may go, amein)

Most would describe our life on this earth as temporary, The Bible tells us there is another temporary component as well. Daniel 12:2, “And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.” Gabriel describes death as temporary as he speaks about the resurrection of the dead.

Thought for Today: Tuesday February 20

The quiet heart knows that peace is the fruit YHVH uses to rule it.

"...but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be indignation and wrath"

Sh’moth 28:31-43
“And you shall make the robe of the shoulder garment all of blue.
“And the opening for his head shall be in the middle of it, a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a scaled armor, so that it does not tear.
“And on its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.
“And it shall be upon Aharon to attend in, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the set-apart place before YHWH and when he comes out, so that he does not die.
“And you shall make a plate of clean gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO YHWH.
“And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban – it is to be on the front of the turban.
“And it shall be on the forehead of Aharon, and Aharon shall bear the guilt of the set-apart gifts which the children of Yisra’ĕl set apart in all their set-apart gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, for acceptance for them before YHWH.
“And you shall weave the long shirt of fine linen, and shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of woven work.
“And make long shirts for Aharon’s sons. And you shall make girdles for them, and you shall make turbans for them, for esteem and comeliness.
“And you shall put them on Aharon your brother and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and shall ordain them, and shall set them apart, and they shall serve as priests to Me.
“And make linen trousers for them, to cover their nakedness, reaching from the waist to the thighs.
“And they shall be on Aharon and on his sons when they come into the Tent of Appointment, or when they come near the altar to attend in the Set-apart Place, so that they do not bear crookedness and die – a law forever to him, and to his seed after him.
