China here is a thought! Don't help Russia now, go and take Russia for your own. Everyone is seeing how weak America is but Russia is weaker. Russia made a BIG mistake now everyone can see Putin's military is not up to a real battle with China. Just a thought.

It is time to get into the Word this Shabbat and worship Elohim together. In the message this week G. Steven Simons clearly and concisely reveals Messiah as the Passover Lamb and challenges all to "take for yourself a lamb."
Watch on Rumble:

70 degrees and sunny with a pleasant breeze, flowers and vines finally blooming, brothers and sisters exclaiming "Shabbat Shalom!"...this is a good day.

Shabbat Shalom to the South Carolina peeps! Nay Yah bless you this day as you gather and worship!

Reading some articles on the sacrificial system and one of them said this:
"Paul also alludes to the relationship between the body and the Temple: “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). For the analogy to function, one cannot dismiss that on which it is based. What Paul is saying is that just as the Temple and the priesthood function to manifest God’s presence, so too, do we by living faithfully to his commandments.

With this in mind, we can see why the prophets would be so harsh against the people of Israel when they were not living up to God’s law. Because obedience is the basis for God’s ability to dwell among them, when the people of Israel are disobedient, the offerings in the Temple mean nothing."

This stuck out to me and was too good to share. Here is the link to the whole article: https://ffoz.org/discover/jewi....sh-customs-and-tradi

The Body of Sacrifices | DISCOVER | First Fruits of Zion

Could God have created an entire set of commandments only to be replaced and abolished? Doesn’t Yeshua show love and respect for God’s holy dwelling place? Instead of dismissing the Temple and the sacrifices, let’s explore how they can actually upho

Read this on Chabad.org concerning the sacrifices in the Torah. The article said:
"Why Sacrifice?
The sacrificial service was not primarily about the physical act of slaughtering an animal; it was principally a spiritual service. On a basic level, if the sacrifice was being brought to atone for some inadvertent sin, one had to feel remorse over what had happened. To assist in reaching true repentance, he would bear in mind that what was being done to the animal essentially should have occurred to him.
Another way of understanding sacrifices is that the animal one brings as an offering to G‑d is symbolic of our own inner animal, our instincts and primal desires that we must bring into alignment with G‑d’s will. We surrender that part of us to G‑d and make it submissive to Him, so that it too may seek to do His will."

Thought it was an interesting perspective.
