Thought for Today: Thursday February 10:
Wait patiently with YHVH while He bless you. Don’t rush into His Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind. YHVH dwell in timelessness: He is, He was and He will always be. For you, time is protection; you are a frail creature who can handle only 24-hour segments of life. Time can also be a tyrant, ticking away relentlessly in your mind. Learn to master time, or it will be your master. Though you are a time-bound creature, seek to meet YHVH in timelessness. As you focus on His Presence, the demands of time and tasks will diminish. YHVH will bless you and keep you, making His Face shine upon you and graciously giving you Peace.
I was looking for the Daughters of Yah group, but couldn’t find it. So I searched the Telegram conversation thread. I remembered a topic a woman posted about how the Lord had prompted her to serve her husband without consideration for her own wants, just to focus on him. And I just loved what she wrote about it and wanted to read it again because I think it would strengthen my marriage as well. Does anyone remember that thread?
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
John 17:1-26 KJV
If you carefully fulfill the various Duties of Life, from a Principle of Obedience to your heavenly Father, you shall enjoy that Peace which the World cannot give nor take away.
-Samuel Adams to his daughter Hannah Adams, August 17, 1780
This is the law of the temple: the whole territory on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
Ezekiel 43:12
If maintained and fed, holiness is infectious. Wickedness, however, doesn't need help to spread. It's important to resist and flee temptation, but it's also important to actively pursue righteousness.

YESHUA MOSHIACH --- PART 6
The Betrayal and Arrest:
The various outbursts of popular support were soon over and the determined opposition seemed to resume control. In John’s Gospel, the sense of approaching climax is expressed in terms of -- His hour -- John 13:1. When this at length comes, the betrayal and arrest are seen as part of a larger plan. From the upper room where the Last Supper was eaten, Yeshua went straight to the Garden of Gethsemane -- Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:40-46, where He prayed to His Father with deep intensity and agony. It cost Yeshua to identify Himself with man’s need. He prayed for the cup of suffering to pass from Him, but at the same time He submitted to the Father’s will. The three disciples He took with Him all fell asleep, while one of His other disciples, having betrayed his master, appeared at the gates at the head of the group who had come to arrest Him. At the moment of confrontation with Judas, Yeshua exhibited an amazing dignity when He addressed the betrayer as His [friend] -- Matthew 26:50. He offered no resistance when He was arrested and chided the crowd of people for their swords and clubs -- 26:55.
The Trial:
Yeshua was first taken to the house of Annas, one of the high priests, for a preliminary examination -- John 18:13. During His trial, He was scorned by His enemies and one of His disciples Peter, denied Him three times -- Matthew 26:69-75, Mark 14:66-72; Luke 22:54-62; John 18:15-27, as Yeshua predicted he would -- Matthew 26:34; Mark 14:30; John 13:38. The official trial before the Sanhedrin was presided over by Caiaphas, who was puzzled when Yeshua at first refused to speak. At length Yeshua predicted that the Son of Man would come on the clouds of heaven; this was enough to make the high priest charge Him with blasphemy -- Mark 14:62-64. Although He was spat upon and His face was struck, Yeshua remained calm and dignified. He showed how much greater He was than those who were treating Him with contempt. The further examinations before Pilate -- Matthew 27:1-2; Mark 15:1; Luke 23:1; John 18:28 and Herod -- Luke 23:7-12, were more examples of injustice. Again, Yeshua did not answer when asked about the charges before either Pilate -- Matthew 27:14 or Herod -- Luke 23:9. He remained majestically silent, except to make a comment to Pilate about the true nature of His Kingship -- John 18:33-38. The pathetic governor declared Yeshua innocent, offered the crowds the release of either Yeshua or Barabbas and then publicly disclaimed responsibility by washing his hands. Pilate then had Yeshua scourged and handed Him over to be crucified.
The Crucifixion:
The soldiers’ mocked Yeshua -- Matthew 27:27-30, mixing a royal robe with a painful crown of thorns -- Mark 15:17 and compelling a passer-by to carry the cross -- Luke 23:26. They then nailed Yeshua to the cross and played a cruel game, casting lots for His garment -- John 19:23-24. They scornfully challenged Him to use His power to escape -- Matthew 27:40-44. But against this is Yeshua’s concern about the repentant criminal who was crucified with Him -- Luke 23:39-43. He also expressed concern for His mother -- John 19:25-27, prayed for forgiveness for those responsible for the Crucifixion -- Luke 23:34 and made one final triumphant cry -- Mark 15:37. He showed a nobility of mind that contrasted strongly with the meanness of those about Him. A few observers showed a better appreciation, like the centurion who was convinced of Yeshua’s innocence -- 15:39 and the women who followed Him and stood at a distance -- Matthew 27:55-56. At Yeshua’s forsaken cry -- Mark 15:34, there was darkness and an earthquake, as if nature itself were acknowledging the significance of the event. Even the temple veil was torn in two, as though it no longer had any right to bar the way into the Holy of Holies -- Matthew 27:51. Yeshua’s death had paved the way for all people to freely enter YHVH’s presence and worship Him. He paid for our sins and brought us back to YHVH.
The Burial, Resurrection and Ascension:
Yeshua’s Body was placed in a tomb that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph was assisted by Nicodemus in laying the Body to rest -- Matthew 27:57-60; John 19:39. But the tomb played only an incidental part in the resurrection. The Gospel writers concentrate on the appearances of Yeshua not only on the day of resurrection but also afterward. The disciples were convinced that Yeshua was alive. Some like Thomas, had doubts to overcome -- John 20:24-29. Others like John, were more ready to believe when they saw the empty tomb -- 20:2-10. The first to see the risen Adonai was a woman, Mary Magdalene -- Matthew 27:61; Matthew 28:1, 5-9, whose presence at the cross put to shame those disciples who had run away -- Matthew 26:56; John 19:25. We may note that in His glorified, risen state Yeshua was in a human form, although He was not at once recognized -- John 20:15-16. The appearances were occasions of both joy and instruction -- compare to Luke 24:44 and Acts 1:3. The Resurrection in fact, had transformed the Crucifixion from a tragedy into a triumph. His Ascension into heaven came forty days after His resurrection. Yeshua ascended into heaven to join His Father in glory -- Luke 24:51; John 20:17; Acts 1:9-11.
