Shabbat shalom to the nation of Yashar'el and the nation of Yahudah His remnant under our priest Yahusha Messiah.
Our Malkitseḏeq Priest. My King is righteousness.
14For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood,
15and this is clearer still, if another priest arises in the likeness of Malkitseḏeq,
16who has become, not according to the Torah of fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
17for He does witness, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.”
Hebrews 7
Psalm 110:4 יהוה has sworn and does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Malkitseḏeq.”
I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
Psalm 138:2
The Temple and the Levitical service represented God's love and faithfulness in David's mind. Much of Christianity maligns the Temple as a symbol of oppression and hopelessness, but that just makes them false accusers of God.
There are five different types of sacrifices in #leviticus: Burnt, Grain, Peace, Sin, and Trespass. They have different purposes and methods. Although there is no functioning Temple and Altar today, they are still important to understand.
Do you have a guilty conscience? Do you want to approach God? The burnt offering is your thing.
Do you want to tell God how great He is or let Him know you're His man? Consider a grain offering.
Did God spare you? Give you a victory? Need to fulfill a vow? Make a peace offering & throw a party with friends & family.
Did you slip up, but didn't know any better? Like someone taught you incorrectly or you didn't understand a command? Bring a sin offering.
Did you go where you shouldn't have? Hurt someone? Let your tongue get away from you? Acted cowardly? Make a trespass offering.

The International Court of Justice has determined that Russia is not the agressor and refuses to label the two states who asked for Russian help as terrorist groups. Big win. Sadly Finland and Sweden are no longer neutral, but have sided with the west. Russia did not invade Ukraine. Both states requested Russian support and so Russia went into those territories and Ukraine attacked those states so Russia defended them. That's a huge difference! The difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist.
Women’s Portion for Today: Friday March 22
Prayer is often compared with breathing. With every breath we exhale the unhealthy air… and inhale the fresh air of YHVH’s promises, His Love and His life in Moshiach. This we do through the Holy Spirit which is the Breath of Life to all of us. (Prayer: Father, my family and I receive You into our lives with joy and thankfulness. Thank You that we are aware of Your Presence when we pray to You, amein.)

"Chosen before the foundation of the world" ?
Reading Ephesians 1 this morning the verse 4 says "He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and blameless in His sight."
There are other Bible references to being selected before the foundation of the world.
Does this mean that only certain people can ever be saved?
What about determining your own destiny?
If you are chosen, can you then sin forever and still be saved as you are predestined?
What are your thoughts on this?
