It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice.
Proverbs 18:5 ESV

Don't call evil good and good evil. If you know that one person is usually wise and another person usually foolish, don't be quick to agree with the fool even if he seems obviously right at first.

Know of any Scripture to lift up a mother who has to push her offspring out of the nest in a month?

SERIES V --- JOURNEYS FOR YESHUA

ON TO JERUSALEM

THE THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY: FROM EPHESUS TO JERUSALEM

From Acts 21:1-26

When the final good-byes had been said at Ephesus, Paul and his companions sailed for Cos the first day, Rhodes the next, and then to Patara. They found a ship at Patara which was headed for Phoenicia, so they transferred to it. After passing Cyprus on the left, they arrived at Tyre, where the ship’s cargo was unloaded. Paul and his companions looked for the believers at Tyre, and when they had found them, stayed with them for a week. But Ruach HaKodesh caused these people to prophesy to Paul that it would be dangerous for him to go to Jerusalem. When it was time to leave, the believers, with wives and children, accompanied Paul out of the city to the waiting ship. There on the beach they knelt and prayed together, and when they had said good-bye, they returned to their homes. Paul and his companions boarded the ship and finished their voyage at Ptolemais. After greeting the believers there, and staying with them for a day, they went on to Caesarea. While there, they stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven deacons, who had four virgin daughters with the gift of prophecy. During their visit, which lasted several days, a prophet named Agabus arrived from Judea. He bound his hands and feet with Paul’s belt, saying, [Ruach HaKodesh says the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and deliver him to the Romans.] When Paul’s friends heard that, they urged him not to go to Jerusalem. [What are you all doing, crying and breaking my heart like this,] Paul said. [Don’t you realize that I am not only ready to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the Name of Adonai Yeshua?] As soon as Paul’s friends realized that they could not stop him, they committed him to the Adonai. [Let Adonai’s will be done,] they said. At last, the time came to move on to Jerusalem. Some believers from Caesarea accompanied Paul, and took him to the home of Mnason, a man originally from Cyprus, who had been a believer for quite some time. The believers in Jerusalem were delighted to welcome Paul there. The next day Paul met with James and the elders of the Jerusalem church. After greeting one another, they settled down to listen while Paul reported on his trip, telling what Adonai had done through him for the Gentiles. James and the elders were delighted to hear about Paul’s ministry with the Gentiles, but they were quick to remind him about the suspicions of the Jewish believers. [The Jewish people of Jerusalem who have become believers hear that you have turned from the Law of Moses,] they told him. [They hear that you teach Jewish converts to give up their Jewish customs and not to circumcise their sons. Now then, they will soon know that you are here, so we must do something to prove that these rumours are false. Here is our plan. Four of our men have taken vows, and they will have their heads shaved at the temple. You should go with them, have your head shaved and pay for their heads to be shaved. That will show the rumours are false, that you do keep the Law of Moses. Now of course, we have never asked the Gentile believers to keep these Jewish Laws, except those we mentioned to them, to avoid food offered to idols and the meat from strangled animals which had not been bled, and to avoid fornication.] The plan seemed good to Paul, so he went with the men to the temple, and followed the purification ceremony. This vow publicly showed that he would offer a sacrifice for purification seven days later.

COMMENTARY

PAUL’S THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY

Paul stopped for a short visit in Ephesus on his second missionary journey. When he prepared to leave, the people begged him not to go. Although he could not remain in Ephesus, he promised to come back if it were YHVH’s will. Less than a year after his return to Antioch, Paul decided to make a third missionary journey. This time he hoped to stay longer with the Ephesians. He set out alone from Antioch, traveling northwest through Galatia and Phrygia. Along the way, he stopped to visit his friends from earlier journeys. Paul stayed almost three years in Ephesus, preaching the Gospel daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. News of his message and miracles drew people from all over Asia. While Paul worked in Ephesus, he sent Timothy and Erastus ahead to Macedonia. But Paul’s preaching provoked a riot in Ephesus, and he was forced to leave the city. He followed his companions to Macedonia, eventually arriving in Greece. After three months in Corinth, Paul planned to sail for Jerusalem. But when a plot against his life was discovered, the apostle changed his plans and retraced his steps through Macedonia. He boarded a ship at Philippi and crossed to Troas. After preaching in Troas and the neighbouring town of Assos, Paul caught a second ship bound for Patara. There he changed vessels and sailed for Palestine. Anxious as he was to be in Jerusalem for the Feast of Shavuot, the long sea voyage must have seemed endless to the apostle. Sailing down the coast of Palestine, Paul stopped in Ptolemais and Caesarea. From there he travelled overland to Jerusalem.

Happy prep day to the western hemisphere, shabbat shalom to the eastern! I pray and trust evereyone finds the peace and rest Yah ordained for us thousands of years ago. Most of us are not in the land promised to Abraham, but we can still observe His appointed times as much as Torah will allow without the Temple. Some are to be observed everywhere His Name is made known. His true Name is known in many places outside of the promised land. In Yeshua, we are His temples. However, we are not to worship Him on the high places as the heathen worshipped their idols. We are also not to just do as everyone sees fit. Yah gave us specific instructions for doing things His way. If we love Him, we will obey. If you study His Word, along with history and science and math which He created, you will have a full understanding. Its not a secret except to those who are blind and deaf in spirit.

And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
Joshua 15:15

Having liberated his own inheritance around Hebron, Caleb went on to ensure that his fellow Israelites also received theirs. "I got mine" is not a Biblical attitude.
