Then the king of Assyria commanded, “Send [the new inhabitants of northern Israel] one of the priests whom you carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the god of the land.”
2 Kings 17:27

The priests of Israel were already apostate because of Jereboam's false religion and temple, so his teaching did little to correct the problem, probably only changing their vocabulary. The fear of YHWH will lead you to desire his laws, but that desire must be met by qualified teachers. A teacher who knows part of the truth (the Ten Commandments or Torah or the New Testament) is good, but a teacher who knows the whole truth (Genesis to Revelation) is much better.

I disagree. Only the illiterate need human teachers. Scripture was written down for individuals to read & learn. Yeshua & the prophets taught everything we need to know, and it is all written down.

Mat 23:8-10 LSV 8 And you may not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher—the Christ, and you are all brothers; 9 and you may not call any your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens, 10 nor may you be called teachers, for one is your teacher—the Christ.

And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings and used divination and omens and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of YHWH, provoking him to anger.
2 Kings 17:17

So many of God's commandments involve teaching proper worship and obedience to your children. Even if this verse only describes dedicating children to false gods, it was the worst kind of sin against YHWH.

Parents, teachers, pastors, and leaders at all levels have a responsibility to maintain memorials of God's love and guidance (Scriptures, Sabbath, and Biblical feasts) so that their children and people will always remember what God has done for them.
Joshua 4:2-7

It’s not the news that stresses me out. It’s watching the people’s reactions to the news.

I’m trying to work on not stressing out so much over what I read on social media and spend more energy in prayer. Perhaps y’all will join me?

It is difficult not to get caught up on all the hype. I therefore stay away from many of these "news" sources.

I also try to identify the controlled opposition in every aspect of the news.

When they say the stock market will go up for the next 12 months then I try to see who is looking to sell into the hype.

When they say Bitcoin is going down, then I try to see who is trying to buy at the low.

When they say a war is coming about then, who is looking to gain financially from it...

When they push for one political leader to win, then what are they distracting us from with all the news. Which bills are they forcing through in the background.

All that said and done, Father is sovereign and nothing is outside of His plan. Even when Moses hit the second rock instead of talking to it, Father's plan was still fulfilled; just with Joshua leading the nation into Canaan.

If we believe the Bible is true and that Revelation is upon us then we have to also believe that it is according to Father's plan and that He is able to carry us through such times. ?
