And Joshua said, “Why did you bring trouble on us? YHWH brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel stoned him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
Joshua 7:25

Akan means "troubler", so when Joshua passed judgment on him, he said, "Troubler (akan), why have you brought trouble (akar) on us?"

When we are punished by rightful civil authorities for crimes against God, they are acting as his agents.

Only a couple of points I would like to make outside of what is in the comic.

- On 8:5 - the "copy and shadow" are explained in the same verse. I've heard several try to say because it is a "copy and shadow" it should no longer be followed. However, we can see from this verse that it was YHWH that ordered the copy to be made and followed.

- The color coding is to show the difference between covenant and law. I've heard several use them interchangeably or say they are tied together. However, we can see they are not.

- If you want the context of what the author of Hebrews is relaying here, this section is quoting Jeremiah 31.

WORD FOR TODAY “is our justice system like this”: Deu 16:19 "You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

SPOKEN VERSE FOR TODAY: Pro 9:17 "Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is pleasant." Pro 9:18 But he doesn't realize that the dead are there, and that those who accept her invitation are in the depths of Sh'ol.

Have you ever been taught that the purpose of tithing is to support the Levites and priests? While it’s true that tithes were given to the priests, that’s not the whole story. The first mention of tithing is in Genesis 14:20, where Abram gives a tithe to Melchizedek, the priest of God. Later, in Leviticus, God formalizes this practice as part of His covenant with Israel, ensuring provision for His priests.

But recently, while reading Deuteronomy, a verse stood out to me that I had never truly noticed before. In Deuteronomy 14:23, God reveals the deeper purpose behind tithing: “…that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.”

Did you catch that? The primary reason for tithing is to teach us to fear the Lord. And as Proverbs tells us, the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and life. So, when we tithe, it's not just an act of giving—it's a way to align our hearts with God’s wisdom and deepen our reverence for Him, unlocking the blessings of understanding and life.

Emunah (אֱמוּנָה) is more than just faith—it's a deep, unwavering trust in God's faithfulness. It’s about living with confidence that God’s promises are true, even when the road is tough. ? In a world of uncertainty, emunah invites us to anchor our lives in the reliability of God’s character. Let’s embrace this steadfast faith and walk with the assurance that we are supported by a love that never fails. #emunah #faith #trustingod #spiritualjourney #hebrewwisdom

"beloved city"

In Rev. 20:9 we read:

"And they went out over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

My assumption, till a few months back, was that the "beloved city" talks about the existing Jerusalem. Reading Revelation a bit more open minded, I am leaning more to it not being the current Jerusalem as this city is called "Sodom" and "Egypt" in Revelation 11:8 as we read "And their dead bodies will lie exposed in the open street of the great city (Jerusalem), which in a spiritual sense is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified."

Only in Rev. 21 do we see the New Jerusalem come down out of heaven, so it can't be that city either.

What is your understanding of the "beloved city" in Revelation 20?
