A song inspired by what God taught about the coming world war against Jerusalem, and how God will send Yeshua to destroy all that gather against her.

Lyrics are a poem by Garth Grenache written (without AI assistance) with a message about the Day of Atonement.
[Verse 1]
Siyyon, goyeem do gang ’pon thee!
Ye sinned yet they’re not good b’yond thee!
They hate thee but should hate themselves!
“Before ye judge, judge ye yourselves!”
[Verse 2]
Then shall the Son you pierced descend
to bring the nations to an end,
To fight for thee –him know ye ought,
by whom your souls from sin were bought!
[Chorus]
And ye shall mourn and ye shall weep,
for ye have strayed like wand’ring sheep.
And hated as the serpent’s bite,
Masheeħ by goy hand ye did smite!
[Verse 3]
Lord Yah your God shall smite all down
that thought to take from you His crown.
The hateful rod struck at thy feet
is ruined meet, destroyed complete.
[Chorus]
And ye shall mourn and ye shall weep,
for ye have strayed like wand’ring sheep.
And hated as the serpent’s bite,
Masheeħ by goy hand ye did smite!
[Verse 2]
Yet shall the Son you pierced descend
to bring the nations to an end,
To fight for thee –him know ye ought,
by whom your souls from sin were bought!
The Rock who birthed you, you ignored. You forgot God who brought you forth.
#deuteronomy 32:18 #haazinu
God felt all of Israel's suffering in Egypt, the harshness of their labors, the sorrow of their lost children. God suffered in the creation of #israel and covenant-keeping is inherent in his identity, hence His deep offense at her betrayal.

POTS AND PLANS
THE LESSON OF THE POTTER’S CLAY
From Jeremiah 18:1-11; 19:1-15
One day Adonai gave Jeremiah another message. [Go down to the potter’s house where he makes his clay pots,] He said, [and I will tell you something there.] I went to the potter’s house, as Adonai had instructed me, and I found the potter working at his wheel, making his clay pots. The pot he was making at the time did not take the shape the potter wanted, so he reworked the clay and made a new vessel from it. [Why can’t I do with My own people Israel what this potter has done to his clay?] Adonai asked. [O Israel, you are like this potter’s clay in My hands. When I say that I will destroy a nation or kingdom because of its evil, and then that nation turns away from its evil, I will change My mind and spare that nation. But if a nation changes its mind and turns to evil, I will also change My mind and destroy it. Now warn the people of Judah and Jerusalem that I am planning to punish them for their evil, but if they will turn from their evil, I may change My mind and spare them.] Another time Adonai said to me, [Go and buy a potter’s clay jar. When you have gathered some of the elders of the people and some of the older priests with you, go out to the Ben-hinnom Valley by the entrance to the Potsherd Gate. There you shall speak the words I give you. Here is what you are to say, ‘O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem, listen to the Word of Adonai. Adonai says that He is bringing such trouble to this place that the news of it will make the people’s ears tingle. You people have turned from Adonai and burned incense to strange gods whom you and your ancestors never knew before, filling this place with the blood of innocent children. You have built altars to Baal where you burn your own children in sacrifices, a thing I never commanded or even thought of. ‘The day will come when this valley will no longer be named Topheth or Ben-hinnom but the Valley of Slaughter. Here in this valley, I will overturn your battle plans and cause your people to be slaughtered here. Your bodies will lie in this valley and become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. ‘I will so utterly destroy Jerusalem that people who pass by will hiss because of all its troubles, horrified at what they see. I will let your enemies place such a terrible siege on this city that its inhabitants will be reduced to eating their neighbours and their own children.’] Then Adonai said to Jeremiah, [While these leaders of Israel watch, break the jar which you have brought. Then give them this message from Me, ‘I will break your people and your city, just as you have seen this jar broken, so much that it will never be mended. I will fill this valley with the dead bodies of those who have been slaughtered, and then I will fill Jerusalem with dead bodies also. The homes of the commoners and the palaces of the kings will be defiled with dead bodies, the very homes where incense was burned to the host of heaven and drink offerings were poured out to foreign gods.] When Jeremiah returned to Jerusalem from Topheth, where he had given Adonai’s message, he went to the courtyard of the temple, Adonai’s house. There he gave this message to the people, [Adonai of hosts, the YHVH of Israel warns that He will surely bring all this trouble upon Jerusalem and all the surrounding towns because the people here have turned from Him and refused to hear what He says.]
COMMENTARY
THE POTTER’S SHOP
Jeremiah watched as a potter shaped a clay pot on his wheel. Then the Word of Adonai came to Jeremiah. YHVH has power to shape or shatter Israel, as the potter has power over his clay. If Israel will only repent, YHVH’s threat of judgment will become a promise of peace. The life of a pottery vessel began long before it reached the potter’s hands. Transported from the hills of Palestine, the raw clay had to be dried, strained, and kneaded into a smooth, pliable texture. Most potters in Bible times fashioned their vessels on a wheel, rather than by hand or with moulds. The potter’s wheel consisted of two stone discs fitted onto the ends of an upright shaft. When the lower wheel was turned, usually by the feet of the seated potter, it set the upper one spinning. The potter shaped a ball of clay on the upper wheel while it revolved. But even in the best of shops, things could go wrong. Sometimes the clay was not pure enough, or did not have an even consistency. If the potter did not place the clay in the exact centre of the wheel, his vessel would be lopsided. Since the clay had taken months to prepare, it was reshaped and the process started again. The potter decorated each [thrown] or shaped vessel with paint or inscribed patterns. After it had dried for several days, he took it outside to be fired in the kiln. A large oven with holes in the bottom, the kiln was heated by a fire below it. The temperature had to be carefully controlled at all times.

WARNINGS
THE LESSON OF THE LOINCLOTH
From Jeremiah 13:1-14; 16:1-13; 17:19-27
[Go and buy a linen loincloth,] Adonai said to me one day. [Wear it, but don’t wash it.] I bought the loincloth as Adonai had instructed; I wore it but did not wash it. Then Adonai gave me further instructions concerning the loincloth. [Take the loincloth which you bought and which you are wearing, and hide it in a crack in the rocks out by the Euphrates River,] He said. I followed these instructions completely, hiding the loincloth in a crack in the rocks by the Euphrates River. Time passed and Adonai spoke to me again. [Go out to the river and get the loincloth,] He said. I went to the river and dug the loincloth from the crack in the rocks where I had hidden it. The loincloth was rotting and was no longer any good. [This is a lesson about the way I will cause the pride of Judah and Jerusalem to rot,] Adonai said. [Because these wicked people refuse to listen to Me instead of their own desires and foreign idols, they shall become useless, like this rotting loincloth. As a loincloth clings to the man who wears it, so I intend that Judah and Israel should cling to Me. They were once My people who honoured My Name and brought glory to Me, but then they refused to listen to Me. Tell these people that all their jugs will be filled with wine. They will boast that they already know this, for they have all that they need. But you must tell them that the wine you speak of is not the wine of prosperity but the wine of bewilderment and confusion. The king on David’s throne, the priests and prophets and all the people will drink this wine. I will dash these people together, even fathers and sons. I will spare no one, not even for pity or compassion.] YHVH spoke to me another time. This is what He said, [You must not marry or have children while you are living here. The children born here, along with their parents, will die of the plague. Nobody will mourn their death; they will not be buried but will lie on the ground and eventually become fertilizer. As they die from war and famine, their bodies will become food for the birds and beasts. You must not mourn or weep for them or try to comfort them, for I have withdrawn My love and mercy from them. Great people and humble people shall die here and not be buried; no one will mourn for them. No one will prepare food for the mourners or send drink to comfort one for the death of his parents. You must give a sign to the people to remind them of the sorrow to come. Your sign will be to stay away from their feasts and parties, not even to eat with them. For I, Adonai of hosts, YHVH Elohiym of Israel, will bring laughter to an end in this land. There will be no more voice of mirth, or voice of gladness, or the voices of bride and bridegroom. Naturally the people will wonder why you are telling them these things, and why I will do all these terrible things to them. They will ask what sin they have done to bring these things upon them. You shall tell them how their ancestors sinned by forsaking Me, going after foreign gods and worshiping them. You shall tell them how much worse they have been than their ancestors, following their own stubborn will and turning away from Me. Because of this, I will throw them out of this land into a strange land which they and their ancestors never knew. There they may serve other gods day and night, and I will show them no mercy.] Another time Adonai spoke to me and said, [Go and stand in the gates of Jerusalem where the kings of Judah enter and depart. Tell them, ‘Listen! Listen to the Word of Adonai, you kings and people of Judah and Jerusalem who come through these gates. Adonai Commands you to honour the Shabbat day and live. Make it a holy day, as I Commanded your ancestors. But they would not listen and refused to learn from Me. ‘If you will listen and bring no burdens through these gates on the Shabbat day, honouring it and keeping it for My use, I will let your nation live on, with David’s descendants ruling here in Jerusalem, riding in and out of these gates on horses and in chariots, and Jerusalem will remain here forever. ‘Then people shall come from all the surrounding areas -- the cities of Judah and Benjamin, the Shephelah, the hill country, and the Negeb -- bringing their offerings and frankincense to the house of Adonai. But if you do not honour Me and keep My Shabbat day holy, I will burn this city, starting a fire at its gates which will spread to its palaces without any hope of putting it out.’]
COMMENTARY -- WORD PICTURES FROM JEREMIAH
[Actions speak louder than words,] cautions a familiar saying. The prophets of ancient Israel knew the wisdom of this advice. Often, they drove home their words by acting them out symbolically. Jeremiah especially knew the power of visual aids and images. By giving object lessons, he aroused the curiosity of his audience. The sight of the prophet wearing an oxen’s yoke around his neck caught the attention of those who would have been unwilling to listen to his gloomy warnings. In this way, the people heard Jeremiah’s real message: Put yourselves under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar before he destroys you! When Jeremiah compared the Israelites to his rotted loincloth, the people began to realize that their relationship to YHVH was meant to be as close as a loincloth to a man. But the prophet’s loincloth was rotted and useless, and they were forced to ask themselves if they had become just as useless to YHVH. To describe the state of YHVH’s people, Jeremiah turned to what he had learned and loved as he grew up in the country town of Anathoth. His speeches were full of the life of nature, shepherding and farming. His people, who did not follow YHVH’s Laws, were much different from the stork, turtledove, swallow and crane that he knew. These birds migrated each year at YHVH’s appointed times. In the same way, the prophet noticed the contrast between the shrubs struggling to survive in the desert and the trees thriving by river banks. With these familiar sights, he contrasted the lives of people trusting in human strength to the lives of people trusting in YHVH. Jeremiah separated himself from the ordinary lives of those who married and had families, but he was always alert to the activities around him. To illustrate his messages, he used examples from the ways of mourners, the dances of merrymakers, and the customs of a bride and groom. He watched the silversmith at work, refining silver with varying degrees of purity, and he could say his people were like impure silver, for Adonai had rejected them. Some of Jeremiah’s word pictures make more sense with the help of background information. The boiling pot in one vision probably referred to a pot set in an open-air hearth, which was a circle of stones with an opening toward the north; just as the north wind blew upon the fire, so the northern countries would blow destruction on Judah. Jeremiah pictures the coming of death as entering through a window; many people in ancient times believed that diseases came through open windows. Jeremiah did not only speak and act in parables. He himself was a living parable. He had been called [a fortified city, an iron pillar and bronze walls.]

WORD FOR TODAY “it is not enough to say (I believe in MESSIAH) you must act like HIM”: Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Ask the LORD how you can serve HIM better

FROM THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:
“Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And hear, O earth, The words of my mouth. Let my instruction fall as rain, My speech drop down as dew, As fine rain on the tender plants, And as showers on the grass. For I proclaim the Name of YHWH, Ascribe greatness to our Elohim. The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are judgment, An Ěl of truth and without unrighteousness, Righteous and straight is He!”
