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"

Ro 2

Original Hebrew Scripture from Deuteronomy 27 Original Hebrew Scripture from Deuteronomy 27
"Cursed be he that maketh to wander a blind one from in the way; and all the people shall say, Amen."

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.

Tehillah 82 – Day 3 (Yom Shlishy)
Elohim stands in the congregation of Ěl; He judges in the midst of the elohim.
How long would you judge perversely, And show partiality to the wrong? Selah.
Give judgment to the poor and fatherless, Do right to the afflicted and needy.
Rescue the poor and needy; Deliver them from the hand of the wrong.
They do not know, nor do they understand, They walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I, I said, “You are elohim, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
“But as men you die, And fall as one of the heads.”
Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth, For You shall possess all the nations.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
