OOMs ?
{For missed posting last week}

Slantwise through the pocked moon crust, a flattened board of war and narrowed circling pairs of eyes. Never a step before the threshold of the widened gate. Dark air breaches the walls onto the field, more than the bargained fortune.
Dares of ripened blazoning. Tricks of turning clockwork; neatly does the forever settle, down into the patient years.

Just because the only remaining prophet of Yah met the hoards of false prophets on a high place to call down fire from the heavens to consume a waterlogged offering, does not mean the Law has changed and we should now make offerings on the high places, as was the tradition. That prophet went to the sick in need of a spiritual physician. If he had gone to the temple, none of the sick in need of healing would have been present. Likewise, Yeshua went to the synagogues on Shabbat so the sick in spirit could be healed. Yeshua had no place to lay His head: where else would He have had an assembly on the sabbath, but in someone's home because it was their tradition. Just bbecause someone has a tradition that appears on the surface to be good, does not change Torah. Exodus says we are to remain on our places/dwellings on shabbat: none is to go out. (Exo 16:29 LSV See, because YHWH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; each abide in his place, no one goes out from his place on the seventh day.”)

I have wondered about this myself: How laws are tweaked over time.

Like the first Passover where everyone had to stay indoors to the most well known instance of Yeshua and His disciples having the last Supper.

We see a similar thing with sacrifices where all sacrifices had to only take place at the Tent of Meeting. It then later on included butchering as well. I can't recall an actual verse that talks about butchering from when they arrived in Canaan, but it looks like it got split off again so that only sacrifices were done at the temple.

In Exodus we do get the initial instruction about Shabbat, but when we get to Yeshua there are synagogues (which aren't institutions given by Father) and the congregation gathers every Shabbat as we see that "Moses is read" every Shabbat in the synagogues. Yeshua from an early age was in the synagogues debating. It was even His custom according to Luke 4:16 (NIV):

"He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read."

We know Yeshua didn't break Torah or else it would have been used as evidence against Him at the sanhedrin. I can therefore only conclude that going to an assembly on a shabbat isn't breaking Torah.

It is however also not breaking Torah not to go to an actual meeting. The day is a moedim as listed in Lev. 23 and must be set apart, so not treated as just another day.

How each of us understand a "holy convocation" will be different. It might be my wife and I discussing scripture or watching a message together online. Not the number of people nor duration are set on the description of a convocation, so in my view this will be up to everyone's understanding and the availability of others to meet.

The context of Exo 16:29 is going out to gather mannah. They gathered everyday with a double portion provided on preparation day. The not going out refers to not going out to gather mannah. It can't mean never leave your dwelling because Jesus fully kept the moral law and He and His disciples were out many times recorded in Scripture. He went to synagogue. He healed in public.

"Because you listen to these ordinances..." Deuteronomy 7:12

The rewards listed for obedience to Torah are both promise and prophecy. Perfect obedience to God's Law is probably impossible for fallen humans, but he never expected perfect obedience. Fortunately, even imperfect obedience brings some blessings. #ekev #torah

YHWH does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:3

This isn't literally about food. The craving of the wicked is to declare themselves righteous by virtue of their own supreme authority, while the craving of the righteous is wisdom, more righteousness, understanding, etc. Consider Matthew 5:6...

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

We wanted a Hebrew clock for our living room, rather than one with "Arabic" or "Roman" numerals, so I looked online and found nothing but cheap junk. I decided to make one, and just finished it. What do you think?
This one exactly matches our furniture. It is natural slate with a handmade frame. I gold-leafed the letters, and the center is beadblasted solid brass. It's about 16 inches square.
Since we liked it somuch and I had extra materials left over, I decided to make 3 more. One will be all brass instead of slate tile, with black frame, numbers & hands; another will be a full 18 inch large natural slate; and another made using a hand finished wooden plate with a brass center.
I'm thinking of selling them and donating the proceeds to our national prison ministry which supports inmates of our faith. Is anyone interested?

God will never forsake His covenant with Israel because apostasy, forgiveness, and restoration are all accounted within it. He knew from the beginning that we wouldn't keep it, but he promised to hold up his end anyway. God never expected perfect obedience from #israel or else #torah wouldn't have provisions for atonement and forgiveness. The blessings that God promised for obedience will always be mixed because we are imperfect and incapable of perfect obedience, but we will still be blessed in the effort.
