The land of Edom was given to Edom by God, but not forever. Whether justly or not, Judah conquered and assimilated Edom in the centuries just before Yeshua's birth. Does this mean that Israel is free to claim their land now? This and many other difficult questions may have to wait for Yeshua's next earthly ministry.
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in YHWH; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
The Day of Tribulation refines God's people, but doesn't destroy them. Trust the Plan, not of any politician or pastor, but of your Creator, Judge, and Redeemer.
From This Week's Torah Portion:
What is the definition of "Righteousness?"
How do we do this?
What does scripture say about it?
From This Weeks Torah Portion:
"Appoint judges and officers within all your gates, which YHWH your Elohim is giving you.”
This is a command of Torah. It is not optional, situational, or negotiable. Do you keep it? If so, how? If not, why not?
His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.
Habakkuk 3:4
God always hides his full power even in his wrath. He is always in control. #devarim
There are at least 32 covenants described in the Bible and probably many more that aren't explicitly called "covenants".
There are some basic facts that can be extrapolated from the Biblical treatment of covenants:
1. Covenants generally require some kind of bloodshed to "seal" them. Hebrews 9 makes this explicit, although it is frequently and bizarrely mistranslated as talking about a "will" instead of a covenant. Those are completely unrelated ideas, and a covenant never requires the death of either party of the covenant. It requires the blood (and usually the death) of a sacrificial victim.
2. No new covenant cancels or changes an older covenant. A new covenant between the same parties can enhance their existing relationship, but it doesn't annul anything in the older covenant.
3. Breaking a covenant doesn't cancel the covenant, but it does carry consequences.
4. Covenants can be made between people, groups of people, spiritual entities, and any combination of these.
5. A covenant can be annulled by a higher authority who is not a party to the covenant, but not on a whim. If the higher authority lets the covenant stand for a period of time, he can't change his mind later and then annul it without incurring guilt and consequences on himself.
6. Promises, oaths, contracts, and statements aren't covenants unless there is bloodshed involved. A covenant is a more serious affair than any of these.
What is restoration? How do we achieve it?
Is it true that the way we view history shapes how we walk out our future? If it is true, then we would be wise to learn about our past - the bad things as well as the good.
This is the framework of the conversation Barry Phillips and David Jones share about the 9th of Av - the Fast of the Fifth Month mentioned in Zechariah 8:19. Our Jewish brethren have observed this fast for many centuries. It might be good to learn why - especially if we would like to see healing, reconciliation, and restoration to these two halves of God's Covenant People.
