So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before YHWH.
#genesis 18:22
Three men appeared to Abraham, but only two arrive at Sodom (Genesis 19:1). Where did the other go?
He stayed behind with his friend, Abraham. They discussed the matter of Sodom and then YHWH "went on his way". Does this mean he followed the other two to Sodom or went on to some other business? Wherever he went, we can be sure from this that God is not the impersonal, mindless force of deism and new age mysticism. He moves about in his Creation and interacts with mankind with intention.

Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.
The same could be true as you build up your spiritual self. After an intense teaching session, you need answers as more thoughts and questions consume you in your spiritual growth.
Rabbi Steve Berkson, director of MTOI, provides an opportunity for the Afterburn to take place by additional thoughts and insight about what he just taught as well as answering questions from the local congregation and those watching the live stream.

"Dazzled by the brilliant achievements of the intellect in science and technique, we have not only become convinced that we are the masters of the earth; we have become convinced that our needs and interests are the ultimate standard of what is right and wrong. Comfort, luxuries, success continually bait our appetites, impairing our vision of that which is required but not always desired. They make it easy for us to grow blind to values. Interests are the value-blind man's dog, his pathfinder and guide." Abraham Heschel, God in Search of Man.
Shalom Shalom family ?
Ruth 2:12
May YHVH reward your work, and your wages be full from YHVH , the Elohim of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.”
Isaiah 35:4
Say to those with anxious heart,
“Take courage, fear not.
Behold, your Elohim will come with vengeance;
The recompense of YHVH will come,
But He will save you.”
Hebrews 10:35
Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Our Heavenly Father, our Elohim Adonai Allmighty YHVH we come to Thee with hearts of thanks and lips that praise. Thank You for the Assurance and comfort in Your words. Thank You for giving us hope to continue this Journey knowing You are faithful. Please renew all fainthearted and weary hearts with gladness and joy. Thank You for Your loving kindness that surrender us. Please increase righteousness in us and bless the work from our hands. Help us not to be lead into temptation and deliver us from all evil and wrongs. Guard our thoughts and Spirit from all negativity. Please surround us with Your Shalom. Thank You for every prayer, tears and crying out that does not go unseen, or unheard. Please cloth us with the garments of salvation, making us victorious in Your word. Thank You for our blessings and provisions. Forgive us our trespasses and sins against Thee and others. Let Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as in heaven. Amein
Be blessed and stay blessed ?

The Genesis 2 Hebrew for 2022 recording elucidates a pun in the Hebrew text.
The Hebrew for 2022 recordings demonstrate the Grenache tonal reading method for the Hebrew text which brings out the meaningful divisions of verses, according to semantic meaning of the cantillation marks found in the Masoretic text.
The Genesis 1 LLV126 and Genesis 2 LLV126 for 2022 recordings explain that man made religion has incorrectly divided the word of truth here. This telling of the creation week does not conclude with the end of what man has called 'Genesis 1', but continues into 'Genesis 2' as far as 'Genesis 2:4' to include not just the six days of God's creating, but also the seventh day in which He rested, and which He then set apart as holy from others days, before there was yet an Israelite or Jew or non-Jew or Christian or Muslim. Pay attention to YHWH's truth, individual, that it may remain with thee and in thee, and in thee grow, lest what thou thinkest to have be taken from thee.

Thought for Today: Thursday October 21:
Trust in Yahuah with every fibre of your being! What He can accomplish in and through you is proportional to how much you depend on Him. One aspect of this, is the degree to which you trust Him in a crisis or major decision. Some believers fail miserably here, while others are at their best in tough times. Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in Him. People who rely on Him in the midst of adversity may forget about Him when life for them is going smoothly. Difficult times can put you into awareness of your need for Him, whereas smooth sailing can lure you into the stupor of self-sufficiency. Yahuah care as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices but the One who is always beside you sees everything – and rejoices. Consistently trusting in Yahuah is vital to flourishing in His presence.
