Wilderness experience is a necessary stage in development of our relationship with God. Study, learn #torah (#godslaw), learn to love God and man. But we aren't supposed to stay in the wilderness forever. Eventually we have to cross the Jordan and start fighting to clear the Promised Land. When God sends you out to expand His Kingdom via evangelism, the world becomes your Canaan.
And you will *not* learn to behave as they once behaved. Torah is not Jewish law, but God's Law. "That's for the Jews," is a cop-out. If you love God, you will keep God's commandments.
Torah is life to the obedient and death to the disobedient. He said, "The one who keeps My rules and statutes will live through keeping them."
#leviticus 18:2-5 #achareimot
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes.
Leviticus 18:3
When you come to faith in YHVH, the religion of your fathers becomes Egypt for you. The Promised Land is not wherever you happen to be. You must leave Egypt to get there.

In Matthew 14:1-12, Herod had taken his brother's wife, Herodias, contrary to God's commandments in Leviticus 18:16 and 20:21. John the Baptist called him out for it, so Herod put him in prison. Herodias then got her daughter to ask Herod to behead John. There are four lessons I'd like to draw from this story...

Good Morning Y’all ☀️
From Wild Branch Community's discussion a few weeks ago...
In Leviticus 10, God killed Nadab and Abihu because of an exuberant moment of worship. They seemed to love God and were excited to show it. What exactly did they do wrong?
The problem is that they ignored God's will. Proper worship of YHWH is obedience, not religious innovation.

Day 17 of counting the omer. together the significance of these two numbers is clear; and when united in the number 17 we have a union of their respective meanings - spiritual perfection, plus ordinal perfection, or the perfection of spiritual order.

SECOND COMING OF YESHUA
PART 2
ANTICIPATING THE SECOND COMING OF YESHUA
HOW SHOULD WE LIVE WHILE WE AWAIT THE SECOND COMING OF YESHUA?
WE MUST BE PREPARING OURSELVES SO WE WILL BE READY FOR THE SECOND COMING OF YESHUA.
Later, Yeshua sat on the slopes of the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and asked, “When will all this take place? And will there be any sign ahead of time to signal your return and the end of the world?” (Matthew 24:3) Yeshua was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the very place where the prophet Zechariah had predicted that our Moshiach would stand when he came to establish his kingdom (Zechariah 14:4). It was a fitting place for the disciples to ask Yeshua when he would come in power and what they could expect then. Yeshua’ reply emphasized the events that would take place before the end of the age. He pointed out that his disciples should be less concerned with knowing the exact date and more concerned with being prepared-living YHVH’s way consistently so that no matter when Yeshua came in glory, he would claim them as his own.
WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING, BUT REALIZE THAT THESE SIGNS ARE EASILY MISREAD.
The disciples asked Yeshua for the sign of his coming and of the end of the age. Yeshua’ first response was “Don’t let anyone mislead you.” The fact is that whenever we look for signs, we become very susceptible to being deceived. There are many “false prophets” (24:11-24) around with counterfeit signs of spiritual power and authority. The only sure way to keep from being deceived is to focus on Moshiach and his words. Don’t look for special signs, and don’t spend time looking at other people. Look at Moshiach.
WE ARE TO CONTINUE TO DO THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE YESHUA RETURNS.
Yeshua said that before he returns, the gospel of the kingdom (the message of salvation) would be preached throughout the world. This was the disciples’ mission -- and it is ours today. Yeshua talked about the end times and final judgment to show his followers the urgency of spreading the Good News of salvation to everyone.
WE CAN BE SURE THAT YESHUA’ RETURN WILL BE UNIVERSALLY UNMISTAKABLE.
In times of persecution even strong believers will find it difficult to be loyal. To keep from being deceived by false christs, we must understand that Yeshua’ return will be unmistakable (Mark 13:26); no one will doubt that it is he. If you have to be told that the Moshiach has come, then he hasn’t (24:27). Moshiach’s coming will be obvious to everyone.
WE KEEP WORKING, REALIZING THAT WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN YESHUA WILL RETURN.
If we knew the precise date, we might be tempted to be lazy in our work for Moshiach. Worse yet, we might plan to keep sinning and then turn to YHVH right at the end. Heaven is not our only goal; we have work to do here. And we must keep on doing it until death or until we see the unmistakable return of our Saviour.
WE REMAIN PREPARED, REALIZING THAT EACH DAY IS THE POSSIBLE DAY OF YESHUA’ RETURN.
Knowing that Moshiach’s return will be sudden and unexpected should motivate us always to be prepared. We are not to live irresponsibly-sitting and waiting, doing nothing; seeking self-serving pleasure; using his tarrying as an excuse not to do YHVH’s work of building his kingdom; developing a false security based on precise calculations of events; or letting our curiosity about the end times divert us from doing YHVH’s work.
WE ARE TO KEEP BUSY BECAUSE NEITHER YESHUA’ DELAY NOR HIS IMMINENT ARRIVAL SHOULD BE AN EXCUSE FOR IDLENESS.
Dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command with the authority of our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach: Stay away from any believer who lives in idleness and doesn’t follow the tradition of hard work we gave you. (2 Thessalonians 3:6) Some people in the Thessalonian church were falsely teaching that because Moshiach would return any day, people should set aside their responsibilities, quit work, do no future planning, and just wait for our Saviour. But their lack of activity only led them into sin. They became a burden to the church, which was supporting them, and they wasted time that could have been used for helping others. These church members may have thought that they were being more spiritual by not working, but Paul told them to be responsible and get back to work. Being ready for Moshiach means obeying him in every area of life. Because we know that Moshiach is coming, we must live in such a way that our faith and our daily practice will please him when he arrives.
EXPERIENCING THE SECOND COMING OF YESHUA
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE SECOND COMING OF YESHUA?
YESHUA’ SECOND COMING WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PURPOSE THAN HIS FIRST COMING.
All who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. (John 12:48) The purpose of Yeshua’ first mission on earth was not to judge people, but to show them the way to find salvation and eternal life. When he comes again, one of his main purposes will be to judge people for how they lived on earth. Moshiach’s words that we would not accept and obey will condemn us. On the Day of judgment, those who accepted Yeshua and lived his way will be raised to eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:51-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; Revelation 21:1-8), and those who rejected Yeshua and lived any way they pleased will face eternal punishment (Revelation 20:11-15). Decide now which side you’ll be on, for the consequences of your decision will last forever.
AT YESHUA’ SECOND COMING, WE WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER.
There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. (John 14:2-3) There are few verses in Scripture that describe eternal life, but these few verses are rich with promises. Here Yeshua says, “I am going to prepare a place for you,” and “I will come and get you.” We can look forward to eternal life because Yeshua has promised it to all who believe in him. Although the details of eternity are unknown, we need not fear because Yeshua is preparing for us to spend eternity with him.
AT YESHUA’ SECOND COMING, WE WILL FULLY EXPERIENCE THE REALITY OF OUR SALVATION.
Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach. He will keep you strong right up to the end, and he will keep you free from all blame on the great day when our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach returns. (1 Corinthians 1:7-8) Paul guaranteed the Corinthian believers that YHVH would consider them “free from all blame” when Moshiach returns (see Ephesians 1:7-10). This guarantee was not because of their great gifts or their shining performance, but because of what Yeshua Moshiach accomplished for them through his death and resurrection. All who have faith in Elohiym Yeshua as their personal Saviour will be saved and considered blameless when Yeshua Moshiach returns (see also 1 Thessalonians 3:13; Hebrews 9:28). If you have faith in Moshiach, even if it is weak, you are and will be saved.
YESHUA’ SECOND COMING WILL INCLUDE THE RESURRECTION OF BELIEVERS WHO HAVE DIED.
Brothers and sisters, I want you to know what will happen to believers who have died so you will not be full of sorrow like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Yeshua died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Yeshua comes, YHVH will bring back with Yeshua all believers who have died. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14) The Thessalonians were wondering why many of their fellow believers had died and what would happen to them when Moshiach returned. Paul wanted the Thessalonians to understand that death is not the end of the story. When Moshiach returns, all believers-dead and alive-will be reunited, never to suffer or die again.
YESHUA’ SECOND COMING WILL SIGNAL VICTORY.
Because Yeshua Moshiach came back to life, so will all believers. All believers, including those living when Moshiach returns, will live with Moshiach forever. Therefore, we need not despair when loved ones die or world events take a tragic turn. YHVH will turn our tragedies to triumphs, our poverty to riches, our pain to glory, and our defeat to victory. All believers throughout history will stand reunited in YHVH’s presence, safe and secure. As Paul comforted the Thessalonians with the promise of the resurrection, so we should comfort and reassure each other with this great hope.
