READINGS FOR OMER COUNT – DAY 19
Behold, I am about to fulfill the affirmative precept of the counting of the Omer, as it is written in the Torah:
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbath, from the day that ye brought the Omer of the wave-offering, seven complete weeks they shall be; until the morrow of the seventh Shabbath shall ye number fifty days.”
Blessed art Thou YHWH, our Elohym, King of the universe, who hast set us apart by Thy commandments and hast given us command concerning the counting of the Omer.
This is the nineteenth day, making two weeks and five days of the Omer.
May the All Merciful restore the service of the Temple to its place. May it be Thy will, YHWH our Elohym and Elohym of our fathers, that the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant our portion in Thy Torah. And there we will serve Thee with awe, as in the days of old and as in ancient years.
May Elohym be favorable unto us and bless us. That Thy way may be known upon the earth, Thy salvation among all nations. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. Let the nations rejoice and exult: for Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity and lead the nations upon the earth. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. The earth hath yielded her increase: Elohym, even our Elohym, shall bless us. Elohym shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 49
Hear this, all you peoples; Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world, Both sons of mankind and sons of man, Rich and poor together.
My mouth speaks wisdom, And the meditation of my heart brings understanding.
I incline my ear to a parable; I expound my riddle on the lyre.
Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the crookedness of my supplanters surrounds me?
Those who are trusting in their riches And who are boasting in their great wealth?
A brother does not redeem anyone at all, Neither give to Elohim a ransom for him; For the redemption of their lives is costly, And it shall cease forever; That he should still live forever, And not see the pit.
For he sees wise men die, The foolish and the ignorant both perish, And shall leave their wealth to others.
Their inner thoughts are their houses, forever; Their dwelling places, to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
But man does not remain in esteem, He is like the beasts that perish.
This way of theirs is folly to them, Yet their followers are pleased with their words. Selah.
Like sheep they shall be laid in She’ol; Death shall shepherd them; And the upright rule over them in the morning; And their form is consumed in She’ol, Far from their dwelling.
But Elohim does redeem my being From the power of She’ol, For He does receive me. Selah.
Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the wealth of his house increases; For when he dies he takes none of it; His wealth does not go down after him.
Though while he lived he blessed himself, And though they praise you when you do well for yourself, He has to go to the generation of his fathers; They never see the light.
Man, who is rich, Yet does not understand, Shall be like the beasts, They shall perish.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 50
Ěl Elohim YHWH shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
From Tsiyon, the perfection of loveliness, Elohim shall shine forth.
Our Elohim comes, and is not silent – A fire consumes before Him, And it shall be very stormy all around Him.
He calls to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to rightly rule His people: “Gather My merciful ones together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Then the heavens declared His righteousness, For Elohim Himself is Judge. Selah.
“Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Yisra’ěl, and I witness against you: I am Elohim, your Elohim!
“I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your ascending offerings are continually before Me.
“I do not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your pens.
“For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.
“I know all the birds of the mountains, And all moving in My field are Mine.
“If I were hungry, I would not speak to you; For the world is Mine, and all that fills it.
“Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
“Slaughter thanksgiving to Elohim, And pay your vows to the Most High.
“And call upon Me in the day of distress – Let Me rescue you, and you esteem Me.”
But to the wrong Elohim said, “What right have you to recite My laws, Or take My covenant in your mouth, “While you hated instruction And cast My Words behind you?
“When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him, And you take part with adulterers.
“You let your mouth loose to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.
“You sit, speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.
“You have done this, and I kept silent; You have thought that I was altogether like you – I rebuke you, and set it in order before your eyes.
“Understand this please, you who forget Eloah, Lest I tear you in pieces, With no one to deliver: “Whoever slaughters praise esteems Me; And to him who prepares a way, I show the deliverance of Elohim.”
READINGS: MISHLE 14:1-17
Every wise woman has built her house, But the foolish breaks it down with her hands.
He who walks in his straightness fears YHWH, But he whose ways are crooked despises Him.
In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise guard them.
Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean; But from the strength of an ox comes much increase.
A trustworthy witness does not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies.
A scoffer shall seek wisdom but find none, But knowledge is swift to him who has understanding.
Leave the presence of a foolish man, For you shall not perceive the lips of knowledge.
The wisdom of the clever is to understand His way, But the folly of fools is deceit.
Fools scoff at guilt, But among the straight there is delight.
The heart knows its own bitterness, And no stranger shares its joy.
The house of the wrong is destroyed, But the tent of the straight flourishes.
There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Even in laughter the heart is in pain, And the end of that joy is heaviness.
The backslider in heart is satisfied with his own ways, But an excellent man is satisfied from his.
The simple believes every word, But the clever one watches his step.
The wise fears and turns away from evil, But a fool rushes on and is reckless.
He who is impatient acts foolishly, And a man who plans wickedness is hated.
READINGS: AVOTH 3:6-7
Rabbi N’chun’ya ben Haqanah said, whoso receives upon himself the yoke of the Torah, from him the yoke of the kingdom and the yoke of worldly care will be removed; but whoso casts off from him the yoke of the Torah, upon him will be laid the yoke of the kingdom and the yoke of worldly care.
Rabbi Chalaf’ta ben Dosa of the village of Chanan’ya said, when ten people sit together and occupy themselves with the Torah, the Shekinah abides among them; as it is said, Elohym standeth in the congregation of the righteous. And whence can it be shown that the same applies to five? Because it is said, He hath founded his band upon the earth. And whence can it be shown that the same applies to three? Because it is said, He judgeth among the judges. And whence can it be shown that the same applies to two? Because it is said, then they that feared YHWH spake one with the other, and YHWH hearkened, and heard. And whence can it be shown that the same applies even to one? Because it is said, in every place where I cause my Name to be remembered, I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.

What's with these huge megalithic structures in the Jezreel valley? https://thekingdomnetwork.us/2....025/05/04/tel-shimro
The last panel "You there" wasn't a planned thing for Mark, but I figured I would keep it going.

Why is God so concerned about what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms? First, because EVERY person bears the image of God. YOU do not belong to YOU. Second, what you do, even in privacy, effects everyone around you.
Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
Leviticus 18:24-25
Sexual perversion--especially openly advocated--defiles the entire nation, not just those who practice it. Homosexuality, incest, bestiality, etc. are NOT victimless crimes. If you love your neighbor, if you love your country, you will not tolerate such things.
#leviticus 18:24-30 and Acts 15
“The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord (Yahuwah) shall hold them in derision.”
Psalms 2:2-4 NKJV
#leviticus forbids marrying anyone within 3 degrees of kinship. Parents, children, grandchildren, grandparents, siblings, half-siblings, step-children/parents, in-laws: all forbidden. First cousins are the closest relations the Bible allows to marry, but "allowed" doesn't mean "good idea".
First cousin marriages are common around the world and were fairly common in the West until the 20th century. In my opinion continuous genetic deterioration + cultural ick-factor makes first-cousin marriage a really bad idea today.
