Within 48 hours Yah allowed me to be to be to go all through Israel from Jerusalem to the Hermon and then all the way south to the Arava.
It was so spontaneous and so special to be up at the Hermon again. I hadn't been there in 3 years and for the past year or was all locked because of the war.

A new Edition of The
Lawful Literal Version
LLV Bible is out now!
…a work in progress with over 69,000 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV343 Oh let not my_Lord be angry Edition:
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.
Please distribute freely, but only by sharing the link to this doc:

Checking the manuscript readings today I discovered a lovely alternation in Abraham's inquiry of YHWH:
(Gen 18:26) And YAH__ said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous ... I will spare all the place for their sake.
(Gen 18:27) And 'Abraham ... said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to YAH__ -and_I [am but] dust and ash...
(Gen 18:30) And he said, Oh let not my_Lord be angry, and I will speak:...
(Gen 18:31) And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to YAH__:...
(Gen 18:32) And he said, Oh let not my_Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: perhaps ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
(Gen 18:33) And YAH__ went his way, as soon as he_had_finished_(off) wording with 'Abraham: and 'Abraham returned to his place.
Psalm 133:1, “A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!” Being united does not mean that everyone must think exactly alike. There is room for different points of view and new ideas to be debated. The focus of our Creator’s unity is that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and He is sovereign over everything.
Question 5: Can we find any reference to Moshiach in contemporaneous secular writers?
Answer:
Yes!!! There are references to Moshiach in connection with believers, by several historians. Tacitus, who was praetor under Domitian in A. D. 88, only 58 years after the Crucifixion, refers to Moshiach (Annal XV144). Pliny the younger, who was tribune in Syria about the same time, also refers to him (Epistle X: 97). There are also references in Lucian, who lived about the middle of the second century. He states explicitly the fact of Moshiach having been crucified. Suetonius and Eusebius also refer to Moshiach. Besides these evidences, there was the persecution of the believers under Nero, which is recorded by all historians. Nero died A. D. 68, only thirty-eight years after the Crucifixion. It is therefore clear that there were many believers before that time. How could the sect have come into existence without a founder? If you saw an oak growing in a place where there was no tree fifty years before, you would suspect that someone had planted an acorn there and if four men told you how, when and by whom it was planted, you would be prepared to believe them. So, there is good reason for believing the Gospel narratives, when you read in secular history of the existence of the Church fifty years after the Crucifixion. Their stories are a credible explanation of a well-established fact.
Question 4: What are the proofs of Bible Authenticity?
Answer:
"Can we prove the authenticity of the Bible by outside evidence" is a frequent question. The authenticity of the Bible is being proved by the old records on monuments, by tablets recently deciphered and by discoveries in Bible lands. That is if by authenticity you mean its historical truth. As to inspiration, the best evidence is its effects. The man who loves the Bible and tries to conduct his life according to its precepts is a better man for the effort The Bible reading nation advances in the best line of civilization, caring for its poor and afflicted and becoming in all ways better. Another evidence of its being inspired is the revelation it gives a man of himself, holding a mirror to his gaze by which he recognizes himself. Evidence is its survival. No book was ever more violently attacked, no book was ever more misused, yet it has outlived the attacks of foes and the faults of friends and is read today more widely than ever. These are a few of the reasons for believing it came from YHVH.
Question 3: What is higher criticism?
Answer:
The ordinary study or criticism is directed to finding out the meaning of the passages, their correct translation and their significance and bearing on doctrines. The higher critics go above and back of all that, applying to the books of the Bible the same tests and methods of examination as are applied to other ancient books. They try to find out who were really the authors of the books and when they were written and whether any changes have been made in them since they were written. This latter question they try to solve by a close examination of the text. When they find, for example, such an expression as "There was no king in Israel in those days" (Judges 17:6), they conclude that that sentence was inserted as explanatory, by someone who edited the book after the contemporaneous historian had finished it. Or to take an example of a different kind: There is a statement in Psalm 51:16 that YHVH desires not sacrifice, while in the nineteenth verse it is said that he will be pleased with sacrifice. The explanation the higher critics give is that probably the latter verse was added later, by some priest who did not wish the people to cease bringing sacrifices. The best scholars of the present day believe that many of the conclusions reached by the higher critics are erroneous and that others are mere guesses for which there is not sufficient evidence.
Question 2: How can I know the Bible is inspired?
Answer:
Even in this day, when the number of believers has multiplied from a mere handful to one-fourth of the entire population of the globe, there are people who doubt the inspiration of the Bible. At different times during the last twenty centuries assaults have been made against the Sacred Book, which Gladstone termed the "Impregnable Rock of Holy Scripture," but without avail. It has a firmer hold on the hearts of men than in any previous age. Mr. Moody, the great American evangelist, was once asked whether he regarded the Bible as inspired and his answer was brief and to the point: "I know the Bible is inspired," he said, "because it inspires me!" There are countless thousands who will echo this answer and whose lives have been transformed by the same inspiration. Not only the great religious scholars, but the masters of secular literature regard the Bible as unapproachable in its high standard of expression, its magnificent imagery, the transcendent nobility of its rhetoric, the authority with which it appeals to the hearts of men, the universality of its application and the power it exercises over the souls of men. It bears within itself the evidence of inspiration and wherever it is known and read and its precepts followed, its influence is uplifting and inspiring. The theory of inspiration does not exclude but rather implies, human agency, however. "Holy men of YHVH spake as they were moved by Ruach HaKodesh." (2 Peter 1:21).
