Thought for Today: Wednesday September 17
Young children can ask the most amazing questions about YHVH and heaven. And when they do, we should not ignore them or act like their questions are not important. When they ask you about YHVH, do your best to answer simply and honestly in terms they will understand. Of course, they do not need deep and complicated answers, but just because they cannot understand everything about YHVH, does not mean they cannot understand something about Him. I do not understand electricity, but that does not mean I cannot turn on a light switch?
How does support for Israel have anything to do with the prophesied Messianic Age? Samuel and Keila Wearp have some thoughts about that. In fact, their understanding of Messiah’s Kingdom is what inspires them to do things like lead a team of sheep shearers to Judea to help Jewish shepherds! They talk about that and more in this concluding segment of our conversation.
What Samuel and Keila are doing is putting their love for the God of Israel and the land and people of Israel into action. That’s the opposite of what we see so much in the news these days. Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about that in their midrash, “Cold Love.” We hear more about it in the music of Mason Clover and the Exodus Road Band.

Torah Pearls #51 – Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20) this episode of The Original Torah Pearls Nitzavim, we revel in the five verses that sum up the entire Bible - the wonderful and terrible responsibility given to mankind to choose. But what qualifies one to choose the life-giving covenant? Social status? Being in the camp? Does the name of God provide a clue? And how is this covenant sealed—with a kiss or a curse? Is comprehension of the covenant too difficult for stiff-necked mortals? Whose name do we call on for help? Gordon concludes with a Hebrew word study that reveals what true prosperity looks like for those choosing Torah—a radiant bride with a loving and joyful groom.
In this week's Prophet Pearls, Nitzavim (Isaiah 61:10-63:9), we look at an angel named "Yeshua" in rabbinical tradition and discuss the passage in Isaiah read by a Galilean preacher in the synagogue 2,000 years ago. --> https://www.nehemiaswall.com/p....rophet-pearls-nitzav

One of the many mistakes people make concerning God's covenants is thinking that a covenant is a promise that can be fulfilled and then set aside.
Fulfilling a covenant *never* ends it. Fulfilling a covenant restores and maintains it.
A covenant is a permanent relationship, not a promise, yet all covenant relationships come with promises. Even if Israel breaks every promise that they made in their covenants with God, those covenants still stand. The only way that God's covenants with Israel to end will be for every male descendant of Jacob to die, and God promised that won't happen until heaven and earth themselves are destroyed.
God's covenants do not end no matter who breaks them. Jesus fulfilled those covenants to show us how to go on fulfilling them.
