Leviticus 11:7-8 “pigs, though they have divided hooves, do not chew the cud -- they are unclean for you. “Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses -- they are unclean for you.”
Thought for Today: Monday July 28
YHVH wants to use you right where you are. Most probably, you come in contact with people on a daily basis, that will never enter a church, Bible study or prayer group. This is the people He wants you to point them in the direction of the Moshiach. Your actions or your testimony may be the only bridge YHVH needs to bring those people to Himself. Be alert for opportunities today to share the Good News of the Moshiach’s Love.
One of the most important, if not the most important, job Hebrews have during the current second Exodus is the work of harvest.
Matthew 9
36And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.
37Then He said to His taught ones, “The harvest truly is great, but the workers are few.
38“Pray then that the Master of the harvest would send out workers to His harvest.”
Got to see my favorite worship team from Israel, Solu! Shilo and his team are amazing people.
We got to hear their testimonies of God opening doors for them to play in Jordan and how the life of their pianist was saved during the war in Gaza.
It was a beautiful evening with Holy Spirit filled worship.
I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.
Romans 16:22 ESV
This verse is not saying that the words of the letter belong to Tertius, but that he served as Paul’s amanuensis or scribe. Tertius was probably a fellow believer, but his identity is otherwise unknown with any certainty.
The Biblical authors frequently employed scribes to record their teachings. Paul, Peter, Moses, Isaiah....probably many more.
A #chiasm in Deuteronomy 1:1-3 reveals the purpose of Israel's Wilderness journey and, by implication, all of life's wilderness experiences.

Devarim, the Hebrew name of Deuteronomy, means "words" and is from Deuteronomy 1:1: "These are the words..." This book used to be called Mishneh HaTorah or "repetition of the Torah". Deuteronomos, the Greek name, means "second law" and also refers to the book's recapitulation of the Law. Although it primarily contains the spoken words of Moses, Joshua or Phinehas may have acted as his scribe.
