with a group of folks studying the means to rebuke public agents and officers that come to talk to us about their internal gentilic matters which often intrude on our lives, i have compiled a study aid you can toss around for the place where i am presently: https://www.canva.com/design/D....AFcZfEa-8M/2KvI_4Oth

Will America ever again see a national leader so eloquent and liberty minded? I pray for God-fearing, honest, and selfless government, but it seems that we must first have a God-fearing, honest, and selfless people.
When the Sadducees tried to trap Yeshua using the levirate marriage law in Matthew 22:23-32, they put their ignorance of Scripture on full display. The very commandment they cited proved their foolishness.

Therefore King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said to them, “Why are you not repairing the house? Now therefore take no more money from your donors, but hand it over for the repair of the house.”
2 Kings 12:7
God didn't choose the sons of Aaron as his priests because they were more scrupulous or more righteous than others. They were just as prone to fraud and wasteful behavior as anyone else. Apparently they much preferred spending donations on flashy baubles--and probably on personal gain--than on much needed repairs to the Temple.
Jehoash's solution was a system of checks and balances: accounting by representatives of two branches of the government and at least two witnesses to every transaction.

DAVID TO BE KING
THE DAY YHVH CHOSE A KING
From 1 Samuel 16
As the days passed by, Samuel continued to mourn for Saul, grieving because YHVH had rejected him as king. At last Adonai spoke to Samuel. ‘It’s time to stop mourning for Saul,’ He said. ‘I have already rejected him as king, so your mourning will not save him. Fill your anointing horn with olive oil and visit Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons as Israel’s next king.’ ‘How can I anoint someone else?’ Samuel asked. ‘Saul would kill me if he hears what I have done.’ ‘Go to Bethlehem to offer a sacrifice to Me,’ Adonai said. ‘Take a heifer with you and tell the people you have come to offer her to Adonai. Invite Jesse to the sacrifice and when I tell you whom to anoint, anoint him!’ Samuel followed Adonai’s orders and went to Bethlehem. When he arrived, the city elders hurried out to meet him. ‘Is something wrong?’ they asked. ‘Have you come to punish us for something?’ ‘No, I have come to offer a sacrifice to Adonai,’ Samuel answered. ‘Prepare yourselves with the purification rites and come with me.’ Samuel also prepared Jesse and his sons with the purification rites and invited them to the sacrifice. When they arrived, Samuel was impressed with Eliab, the oldest son. ‘He must be the one!’ Samuel thought. ‘No, he is not the one,’ Adonai said. ‘You must not think he would make a good king because he is tall or handsome. I have not chosen him. Men judge by the way another looks, but I see deep into his heart.’ When Jesse sent Abinadab to see Samuel, Adonai rejected him also. Shammah came next, but Adonai said, ‘I have not chosen him either.’ One by one seven of Jesse’s sons appeared before Samuel. ‘Adonai has not chosen any of them,’ said Samuel. ‘Do you have others?’ ‘Yes, my youngest son is taking care of my sheep,’ Jesse answered. ‘Send someone for him!’ Samuel ordered. ‘We will not start to eat until he comes.’ Before long the boy arrived. He was a handsome fellow, with bright eyes and a ruddy face. His name was David. ‘Anoint him!’ Adonai said. ‘He is the one I have chosen.’ While all of the brothers watched, Samuel anointed young David. The Spirit of Adonai came upon David in a mighty way and remained with him from then on. Then Samuel returned home to Ramah. About this time, the Spirit of Adonai departed from Saul and Adonai sent another spirit to torment him. Saul’s servants recognized the problem and suggested a solution. ‘By royal command, we will find a man who plays the harp well,’ they said. ‘He will play for you whenever the evil spirit torments you and perhaps this will cure you.’ ‘Find him and bring him to me!’ Saul commanded. One of the servants already had someone in mind. ‘Jesse of Bethlehem has a son who plays the harp well,’ he said. ‘He is also a brave, handsome and intelligent young man and Adonai is with him.’ Saul immediately sent messengers to talk with Jesse about his son. ‘Send your son David the shepherd to play for me,’ the king asked. Jesse was so pleased to help the king that he sent a gift with David, a donkey burdened with bread and wine and a young goat. Thus, David entered the king’s service. Saul was so fond of him that he made him his personal armour bearer. ‘Let David stay with me, for I admire him and love him greatly,’ Saul wrote to Jesse. Whenever the evil spirit troubled Saul, David played the harp, for his music soothed Saul and drove the evil spirit away.
COMMENTARY
HARPS AND LYRES IN BIBLE TIMES
David was the youngest in his family. He played beautifully on musical instruments. He cared for the family sheep. Yet YHVH chose this young shepherd boy as Israel’s next king and Commanded Samuel to anoint him. [Men judge by the way another looks, but I see deep into his heart,] YHVH told Samuel. Some of the oldest lyres ever discovered were designed in Sumeria around 3000 B.C., probably for the use of royal musicians. They were richly decorated and made of gold, silver and copper. At the front of each was a carefully wrought head of one of three animals. The stag, cow or bull may have indicated the range each lyre played; the equivalent of today’s soprano, tenor or alto musical register. These lyres have often been called the most beautiful of the ancient world. In Canaan the lyre earned a reputation as an instrument for joy and celebration, it was light enough for musicians to carry in the fields or while strolling among crowds of people. Its music came from tightly stretched strings vibrating in a sound box. The simplest strings were made of twisted grass, but threads of animal gut were tougher. A crossbar at the top kept the strings pulled taut and in tune. Harps, on the other hand, had no crossbars at the top. The simplest harps were merely two pieces of wood fastened at right angles to each other. Strings stretched between the wood gave it a triangular shape. While many lyres had only four strings, harps had up to forty and made a louder sound. Musicians usually plucked harps by hand, but they strummed lyres with a bone or ivory plectrum. The Canaanite harp and lyre probably originated in Sumeria, but almost every other country had its own unique style. In Assyria, bands of harpists would parade with large harps held vertically against their chests, the sound box in the air. These were so heavy that the musicians wore special belts to support them. In Egypt, harps were among the most important instruments of the orchestra. Some kinds were taller than the people who played them, with sound boxes resting on the floor. An earlier style, fashioned like a hunting bow, may have been the earliest harp. Called a bow harp, it was balanced on one shoulder and the musician stood as he played.
And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person, and you shall make no other like it in composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.'
Exodus 30:31-33
Be cautious with those mail-order "biblical" oils. God said don't make copies of the Tabernacle oil. You won't be getting closer to God by using it. Quite the opposite, in fact.
