The fishermen will mourn and lament, all who cast a hook in the Nile; and they will languish who spread nets on the water.
Isaiah 19:8 ESV
There will come a day when evangelism is fruitless because the people of the world are determined to believe a lie. The fishermen will preach and preach and lament that nobody is hearing, but this is all according to God’s plan.

Genesis 18:18 — 19, “ Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep THE WAY of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” This is the first mention of someone keeping THE WAY and it was Abraham.
It seems as Israel starts to form together after thousands of years in diaspora she has many ideas and beliefs, some follow this calander or that, some pronounce words this way or that, I see there is much more in common than not, I've been praying to see this come together! Sharing ideas in a loving way!
Question 240: Why did Yeshua after His resurrection say “touch Me not”?
Answer:
It was not a time for the old familiar greeting or hand-clasping. He had not come to renew the former human associations with His followers. A great change had taken place. The crown of His life-work was not yet complete. He must show Himself in His resurrected body to His disciples before He ascends to the Father. Mary evidently comprehended the significance of the change and went and told the disciples.
Question 239: Why did they cast lot for Moshiach’s garments?
Answer:
When the soldiers cast lot for the Saviour’s garment (John 19:24) they had no design to fulfil a prediction of the Old Testament. They had probably never heard of the prophecy. They simply perceived that if they tore the garment into four pieces, they would spoil it and it would be of no value. It was the most natural course for such men to cast lots for it. The evangelist, in writing that it was done "that the Scripture might be fulfilled" meant that in YHVH's providence the fulfilment took place. The soldiers were unconsciously doing the thing that it was predicted they would do. John was anxious to show that Moshiach was the predicted Messiah and he mentions this incident to show that the details of the prophetic writings were fulfilled in Him.
Question 238: Did Yeshua die of a broken heart as some say?
Answer:
That is the opinion of many who have written on the subject, physicians included. It is certain that the Crucifixion did not kill Him, as that was a death by exhaustion. Yeshua was not exhausted, for we are told (Matthew 27:50) that He "cried with a loud voice" when He yielded up the Spirit. The fact that when the soldier pierced His side blood and water came out (John 19:34) indicates, according to eminent surgeons, that the heart was ruptured. The most probable way of accounting for the blood and water flowing from a wound in the side of a dead body is that the spear pierced the pericardium - or sac which contains the heart - which would contain blood and water if the heart were ruptured. The severe strain in the Garden the night before, the intensity of which was indicated by a sweat of blood, probably prepared the physical nature of Yeshua for the sudden collapse, which caused Pilate to "marvel that He was dead already." (Mark 15:44.)
