“You felt sure of yourself in your evil;
you thought that no one could see you.
Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray,
and you said to yourself, ‘I am God—
there is no one else like me.’
11 Disaster will come upon you,
and none of your magic can stop it.
Ruin will come on you suddenly—
ruin you never dreamed of!
12 Keep all your magic spells and charms;
you have used them since you were young.
Perhaps they will be of some help to you;
perhaps you can frighten your enemies.
13 You are powerless in spite of the advice you get.
Let your astrologers come forward and save you—
those people who study the stars,
who map out the zones of the heavens
and tell you from month to month
what[b] is going to happen to you.

14 “They will be like bits of straw,
and a fire will burn them up!
They will not even be able to save themselves—
the flames will be too hot for them,
not a cozy fire to warm themselves by.
15 That is all the good they will do you—
those astrologers you've consulted all your life.
They all will leave you and go their own way,
and none will be left to save you.”

Luke 3 ► Peshitta Holy Bible Translated 1 But in the 15th year of the Kingdom of Tiberius Caesar in the government of Pontius Pilate in Judea, when Herodus was the Tetrarch in Galilee and Philippus his brother was Tetrarch in Ituria and in the region of Trakona, and Lusania was Tetrarch of Abilina, 2During The High Priesthood of Khanan and of Qaiapha, the word of God came upon Yohannan, son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. 3And he came into the whole region which is around the Jordan while he was preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Just as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the Prophet, which says, “The voice which cries in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of THE LORD JEHOVAH and straighten in the plain a road for our God.”

5“All the valleys will be filled and all the mountains and high places will be leveled and the rugged place will be smooth and the difficult region a plain,”

6“And everybody will see The Life of God.”

7And he said to the crowds who were coming to him to be baptized, “Offspring of Vipers! Who has instructed you to flee from the wrath that is coming?” 8“Produce therefore fruits worthy for repentance and do not start to say within yourselves, 'Abraham is our father', for I say to you that God can raise up from these stones children to Abraham.” 9“But behold, the ax is laid on the root of the tree. Every tree therefore, which is not producing good fruit is cut down and falls into the fire.”

There were 3 changes to the diet of the Israelites immediately after their circumcision in Joshua 5:

1) They ate Passover
2) They ate the harvest of Canaan
3) They stopped eating manna

There's a lot going on in Joshua 5:10-12. If you don't know the laws about Passover and First Fruits, you might miss it.

Matzah is no longer available locally, or even 90 minutes away, for me. Nor is maneschewitz wine. Where can a person order these items, perhaps by the case? Thank you.

What Is Chametz (Chometz)?
By Yehuda Shurpin

The Very Short Answer
Chametz (also spelled "hametz" or "chometz") is any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that has come into contact with water and been allowed to ferment and “rise.”
In practice, just about anything made from these grains—is to be considered chametz. This includes cake, cookies, pasta, breads, and items that have chametz as an ingredient, like malt.
The Biblical Basis
Just before the nation of Israel left Egypt, G‑d commanded them to sacrifice the paschal lamb and then eat it with unleavened matzah and bitter herbs.2 G‑d then told them that they should replicate this feast every year on the anniversary of the Exodus: “It shall be for you a remembrance . . . seven days you shall eat matzah, and on the first day you should remove all se’or (sourdough, a leavening agent) from your homes. Anyone who eats chametz (leaven) from the first day to the seventh day shall be cut off from Israel.”
Getting Rid of Chametz
Long before Passover begins, we clean our homes, offices, and any other place that belongs to us to rid our homes of chametz. Although it’s praiseworthy to be stringent on Passover, keep in mind that dust isn’t chametz. The main purpose of cleaning and searching for chametz is to remove any chametz that one may come to inadvertently eat or derive benefit from during Passover. This obligation of getting rid of chametz does not extend to inedible chametz or tiny crumbs or particles of chametz that are soiled or spoiled. So the key areas to focus on are things that may come in contact with food, since we are forbidden to eat anything with even a trace of chametz.

SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
Do not take on more than you can effectively handle. Stay within the limitations of your body and soul, and do the best that you can with what you have been given. Maintain a positive attitude, and your grateful heart will be rewarded again and again. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Psalm 77:5, “I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.” David writes about the ancient times… That might seem strange to us if we think David lived in ancient times. But David remembers is remembering the troubles that the early Hebrew people went through. He had an accurate record of history. David believed what’s written by Moses.
