At the distance of 80 years, the events of World War II in Europe are rapidly becoming the stuff of legend shrouded in the mists of time. If we lose the hard-won lessons of that era, we shall have to pay a high price to relearn them. That is why history is important. S.J. Ratcliffe takes a literary approach to the lessons of World War II in Stones of Wrath: The Twins, the second volume of her historical fiction series. In this work, she demonstrates once again the power of historical fiction in transmitting the lessons of the past to new generations.

There are shadows of the Father, Son, and Spirit in the story of Rebekah's betrothal in #genesis 24:
Father Abraham orders the bride to be found and prepared for marriage. An unnamed Servant (Whenever you read about an unnamed servant in Scripture, look for parallels with the Holy Spirit, aka Ruach HaKodesh.) then calls the bride and prepares her for the Son.
*Abraham didn't tell the Servant to choose another if Rebekah refused to come.* There is only one Bride and she can't be replaced by a Canaanite.
Isaac, symbolically sacrificed and resurrected, then waits for the time when he will go to meet his bride. The story between his near-death and his resurrection on the altar is untold. It is a long period of silence between calling the bride and finally meeting her.
The first mention of love in #torah is Father Abraham's love for his Son. The second is the Son's love for his Bride.

Why are there so many tens in this #torah portion? Ten camels, ten shekels, ten days, thousands of ten thousands of descendants...
Other than it just being a round number more than a handful and less than a one hundred, it's possible that this is a nod to the ten statements by which God created the world, to the ten commandments, or perhaps to the more general metaphor of ten representing orderly government and the minimum number of men to establish a new community.

Often we read a warning that is specific to one person. Jeremiah 22:29 — 30, “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.” He is speaking to Coniah who is the son of Jehoiakim, who was king of Judah. When our Creator speaks, whatever He says will happen.
Thought for Today: Tuesday November 19
There is no possibility of happiness until we have established friendship, fellowship and a true relationship with YHVH. And there is no possibility of establishing this fellow- and friendship apart from the Cross of His Son, Yeshua Moshiach. So, why is this? Because only through Moshiach’s death on the Cross, can we be forgiven and reconciled to Elohiym. It is if an accounting entry is made in the books of heaven, declaring us righteous for Moshiach’s sake. The Divine Bookkeeper cancels our debts!
