What is a graven image? Exodus 20:4, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” Literally it is an idol, from the Hebrew word פסל (pronounced pesél). Remembering Hebrew is an action based language, what action can an idol have? They spread hatred.

Thought for Today: Friday September 16:

Many people today seek adventure and excitement; but many also wants more – they want something to believe in; they want a cause to give itself to and a flag to follow. Without a purpose greater than themselves, people know they will end up with empty hearts and meaningless lives. The only cause that is big enough to satisfy the yearning of our hearts is the cause of Yeshua Moshiach; and its flag is the blood-stained body that was lifted on the cross for redemption of the world. We can each have a part, using the unique gifts and opportunities YHVH has given us… It is up to each one of us how to respond to His Call.

It's been a very busy week I am definitely ready for Shabbat already

How is everyone's day going today? Preparation day is tomorrow, and not a minute to soon. We'll have a nice day of rest after that, then it's recording day. We hope you have been enjoying our weekly music videos. The videos are being uploaded to Rumble, Torah Tube, and Youtube every Monday. Livestreaming some worship sessions is being considered, but we'll need to give it some prayer.

But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. And Elohim has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, so that no flesh should boast in His presence. And of Him you are in Messiah יהושע, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption, that, as it has been written, “He who boasts, let him boast in יהוה.”
Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 1:27-31 TS2009

“Polygamy” is an awkward term: having a term that means both multiple wives and multiple “husbands” is like having a term that means multiple children with one father and at the same time means one child with multiple “fathers”.

Israel served YHWH all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the work that YHWH did for Israel.
Joshua 24:31

Just like the Christian church, ancient Israel continued to faithfully serve God so long as the first generation of believers lived. As soon as that generation died, they slipped into general apostacy.

And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of YHWH that he spoke to us. Therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God."
Joshua 24:27

All of Creation testifies of God's majesty and will serve as a witness against the sins of mankind at the final judgment.
