"Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."

Jn 15

There is a temptation for people to confuse 'nature' (the wilderness) with nature music videos - which they watch wistfully on polished screens. If they actually set foot in the wilderness, there's a likelihood they would set their foot in dung.

Let's say you take a thousand pictures of the wilderness, just looking any which way; then pick out all the nice shots: the flower, the sunset, the silhouetted tree - and get rid of them. You've already seen those. All the 99.99% of the pictures - random shots into twigs and weeds and mud and dust - are equally wilderness, and 99.99% percent of it. No rule of thirds, no golden rectangle, no balanced or framed shots - the selection and composing of these is indeed man-made art, and what is man-made is not wilderness any more than a skyscraper.

Skyscrapers are a part of nature - the natural world, God's creation - as much as any ragged bird's nest. The fake idea of the wilderness being pristine and pretty has been used to fuel an arrogance of man-made prettiness and tidiness, and at the same time despising of things man-made as being not of God's creation.

Prettiness is not wrong - blanket despising of man-made things is wrong. And arrogance, whether on behalf of neatness and prettiness or any other reason, is deadly wrong. Neatness and polish are a gift of God - which, like wealth, must be rigorously kept in its place, because it is beset with temptations to evil against God.

Can God trust you with this gift?

I have heard women decide that physical attraction was more important to them than the bible and salvation in yeshua in a man's life. They got with the man they were most physically attracted to, instead of the law man of yah, and then complained about the man they got with and asked them for a divorce after infidelity/cheating and abuse... So you put cards on the table saying: wealthy, success, fame, attractive, strong, etc, and salvation+ the bible. The woman I have seen chose the others and not the salvation bible card. They thought they could fix the man who had the worldly qualities. Men have made the same choice.

How we worship and who we worship matters. I know this is an eye-roll topic for many, but understand worship comes from 1 of 3 places: God, man, or Satan. Where do your worship practices come from?

Revelation 3:8-11 ISR
"I know your works - see, I have set before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it - that you gave little power, yet you guarded My Word, and have not denied My Name. See, I am giving up those of the congregation of HaSatan, who say they are Yehudim and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth. See, I am coming speedily! Hold what you have that no one take your crown.

Q. Where in the gospels did yeshua jesus teach the law?

A. John 7:1 phbt After these things, Yeshua was walking in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Judeans were seeking to kill him.
2 And the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 And his brothers said to Yeshua :"Remove yourself from here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works that you do."
4 For no man does anything in secret and wants it done openly. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.
5 For his brothers also did not believe in Yeshua.
6 Yeshua said to them: "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready."
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I am testifying about it, that its servants are evil.
8 You go up to this feast; I am not going up now to this feast, because my time is not yet finished.
9 He said these things and he remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers went up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as secretly.
11 But the Judeans were seeking him in the feast and they were saying, "Where is he?"
12 And there was much murmuring in the crowd because of him, for there were those who said, "He is good", and others were saying, "No, but he deceives the people."
13 But no man spoke openly about him, for fear of the Judeans.
14 But when the midpoint of the feast had arrived, Yeshua came up to The Temple and he taught.
15 And the Judeans were astonished and were saying, "How does this man know the scrolls, having not learned?"
16 Yeshua answered and said: "My teaching is not Mine, but from him who sent Me."
17 Whoever is willing to do his will understands my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak for my own pleasure.

So yeshua taught the torah scrolls without reading them from paper, but by the spirit of holiness.

People say that the bible should say that yeshua taught or read the law, if we have to follow it today. In john 7:14-15 the people who Heard yeshua speak at the feast of tabrinacles were asking how yeshua is able to quote/teach the scrolls without being taught. The answer is because he taught the teaching of the father. And we must be willing to follow the teaching from the scrolls as verse 17 says and matthew 4:4 & 23:1-3.

So yeshua taught the scrolls, without having the scrolls, and said it is the father's will to do it, to obey those who set on the throne of moshay, and men must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of yahovah.

Revelation 4:11 ISR
"You are worthy, O Yahuah, to receive esteem and respect and power, for You have created all, and because of Your desire they are, and were created."
