Jerusalem Tours - Shalom Jerusalem Tours

Jerusalem Tours - Shalom Jerusalem Tours Have you ever dreamed of visiting the land of Israel? The Holy Land is a place where the past meets the present and the words of Scripture come alive.
(34)

ISRAEL

A visit to Israel is not just a spiritual tour but a life changing journey! Most of all however, a visit to Israel brings the Bible (Torah) to life - it is a journey through the Holy Book which helps us to come to understanding the past, present and what is to come. Can you imagine the excitement when you drive east from Tel Aviv's airport and suddenly there - nestled among the Judean hill

s, lies JERUSALEM! Could this be the view Yeshua enjoyed before He entered the City seated on a donkey and the crowd paved His way with palm branches? And when you stand in the GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE and touch the knurled trunks of ancient olive trees (which the guide tells you are over 2000 years old) you are humbled by the thought that it could have been these very branches under which Yeshua prayed in the hours before His betrayal. Visit the SEA OF GALILEA and stroll among the ruins of CAPERNAUM. Look up towards the MOUNT OF BEATITUDES and it is easy to visualise Yeshua looking across the sea of faces and delivering His Sermon on the Mount. And if you take a walk along the lakeshore in the early evening and the wind is tossing the waves violently, it is so easy to imagine a small boat with anxious disciples and their Master comforting them . . . The ravages of war and the signs of progress have obliterated much of the Israel of Yeshua’ time, but underneath it the entire Bible remains alive. Bethlehem may no longer be a neither small town, nor Nazareth a rural village but… they're still there, and they hold the history of the faith. A visit to Israel could mean a swim in the DEAD SEA, the view from the MOUNT OF OLIVES, a walk along the VIA DOLOROSA, a visit to the tombs of ABRAHAM and ISAAC, a journey across the Negev Desert, or strolling through the narrow streets of Old Jerusalem. No matter where you are in Israel, familiar names will leap at you constantly - you will be close to the Bible every minute of the day. If you love your Father in heaven and enjoy every relationship with Him you can't afford not to visit Israel.

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the hills; where does my help come from?

My help comes from YHVH, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip; HE who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, HE who watches over Yisrael will neither slumber nor sleep.

YHVH watches over you; YHVH is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

YHVH will keep you from all harm; HE will watch over your life;
YHVH will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

HALLELUYAH!

Psalms 86
Hear, O יהוה, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Guard my life, for I am devoted to YOU. YOU are my God; save YOUR servant who trusts in YOU.

Have mercy on me, O יהוה, for I call to YOU all day long.

Bring joy to YOUR servant, for to YOU, O יהוה, I lift up my soul. YOU are forgiving and good, O יהוה, abounding in love to all who call to YOU.

Hear my prayer, O יהוה; listen to my cry for mercy.

In the day of my trouble I will call to YOU, for YOU will answer me.

Among the idols there is none like YOU, O יהוה; no deeds can compare with YOURS.
All the nations YOU have made will come and worship before YOU, O יהוה; they will bring glory to YOUR NAME. For YOU are great and do marvelous deeds; YOU alone are GOD.

Teach me your way, O יהוה, and I will walk in YOUR truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear YOUR NAME.

I will praise YOU, O יהוה my GOD, with all my heart; I will glorify YOUR NAME forever.

For great is YOUR love toward me; YOU have delivered me from the depths of the grave.

The arrogant are attacking me, O יהוה; a band of ruthless men seeks my life; men without regard for YOU.

But YOU, O יהוה, are a compassionate and gracious GOD, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant YOUR strength to YOUR servant and save the son of YOUR maidservant.

Give me a sign of YOUR goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for YOU, O יהוה, have helped me and comforted me.🌾

Be joyful and rejoice aways. Stand today as if you see the Heavenly Gates open wide and just imagine all Heavenly Angels singing with us with shouts of victory. HalleluYah

I pray that joy and rejoice will sustain you in all your ways. May joy accompany you all in every direction you take.

The Hebrew word for joy is "simha". Say it with me. The root word is Samach.

Our joy comes from YHVH our GOD who blessed us with generations, the earth and all reasons to be glad and joyful. Joy is the fruit of the recreated human spirit.

Psalm 16:11
YOU make known to me the path of life; in YOUR presence there is fullness of joy; at YOUR Right Hand are pleasures forevermore

The presence of YHVH in our life gives no room for spiritual drowsiness or dryness. YHVH awakes us in HIS Joy to see us live to the fullness of what HE planned for us.

Rejoicing is a great way to start our prayers with great delight and thankfulness.

Thinking and remembering what YHVH has done for us gives us all the more reasons to wake-up each morning giving HIM always a shout of joy.

Paul doesn't just say to rejoice always, but to also pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances.

Zephaniah 3:17 gives a clear message to Yerushalayim: “YHVH your GOD ” takes great delight in you, so much so that HE “rejoice over you with singing”

Ephesians 5:18-19 reveals how we can always be full of the joy of the Holy Spirit: “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in Psalms and Hymns, spiritual songs, singing it from our inner Spirit, making melody in our heart to YHVH.”

Our Heavenly Father and great I AM, we thank You for YOUR Word, as we meditate on it daily and confess it daily with joy. YOUR Word is powerful and rejuvenates our bodies and renew us with strength. We come to YOU today giving a joyful song from within, rejoicing in all YOU have done and stil doing. Please keep us in YOUR consistent fellowship with hearts and Spirits of rejoice. Let us experience fullness YOUR pleasures for evermore. Let YOUR KINGDOM COME AND WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN. HALLELUYAH!

Be strong, be joyous, Be blessed and stay blessed🌿

Let us start our day refreshed and with joy! The joy that YHVH gives us, being pleased with all YHVH planned.

We ask ourselves often. How did I arrive to this point? Today we look at two words in Hebrew. To appear, arrive or to reach a place.

The word arrive is (higiya) הִגִּיעַ or (hofiya).

The word ra'ah, means "to be seen."

To appear is, (nir'ah) נִרְאָה , (hofiya) הוֹפִיעַ or (nig'lah)

When you suddenly find yourself in a unexpected situation or someone appears with no warning standing before you. You are totally amazed. Take a few moments and consider these verses.

Job 11:7
“Can you discover the depths of YHVH?
Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?

Matthew 13:11
Yeshua answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

We recall such moments of appearance in Scripture.

Luke 2:9-11
Suddenly, an angel of YHVH appeared among them, and the radiance of the YHVH's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don't be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.

Anything that is unknown to us or that we have no knowledge about, takes us by surprise. But when we expected something to happen but do not know when, we eagerly await that appeared moment with joy.

During the Feast of the Transfiguration, Yeshua took three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John, up on a mountain, where Moses and Elijah appeared and Yeshua was transfigured, his face and clothes becoming dazzlingly bright (Mark 9:2–13; Matthew 17:1–13; Luke 9:28–36).

How did these desciples recognize Moses and Elijah? What happened that day on the mount of Transfiguration was something undesirable but a glorification of a experience that can only fill your spirit with Awe.

We all await the appearance of our Messiah. We read: every eye will see Him when Yeshua returns (Revelation 1:7)

Yeshua HaMashiach is coming with the clouds and that “every eye will see Him”. This will begin an eternal kingdom over the earth (Daniel 7:14).

Luke 21:34-36
Be careful that you are not caught off guard, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, and that day will come upon you suddenly like a trap.

Acts 1:11
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This same Yeshua, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

Will we be taken by surprise when the sudden appearance occurs? For sure.

Will all be ready?

Let us keep watch ... not as we look upon the worldly occurrences but spiritual readiness. The Kingdom of YHVH is ready and awaiting our transformation.

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what YHVH ’s will is; His good, pleasing and perfect will.

Our Father, Who are in heaven, Holy be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Be blessed and stay blessed 🌿

The Three Days

Nissan is not merely a month on the calendar, but a time of profound spiritual potential, capable of transforming individual lives and the collective reality of the entire world. Nissan marks a season of renewal and rebirth.

Revelation 21:5
And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”

The key teachings concerning Nissan is the concept of redemption. Every positive action has the potential to bring us closer and look forward to the redemption and salvation. With joy in our hearts we cultivate a spirit of gratitude, as we are reminded of the meal we as one family can eat together. With festive meals and songs of praise, we commemorating the miraculous events of setting the captives free on their Exodus journey but most important that we now have a Savior.

Through Samuel, YHVH promised to provide a son of David who would reign forever. Through Isaiah, YHVH tells that this promised Savior will suffer and die, not for His own sin but for those of the people

Leviticus. 23:2-3 "Speak to the Yisraelites and say to them: `These are My (Moadim’s) appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of YHVH, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. "`There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly.

Leviticus. 23:5-7, 5 “The fourteenth day of the first month is the YHVH’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHVH: seven days you must eat unleavened bread. In the first day you shall have a Holy Convocation: you shall do no servile work therein”. There are two elements of this passage that are of importance

When we visit the Home Land, The Land of Promise and find ourselves in the heart of Yisrael. There is almost not enough time to explore in only three days. Those who love the land, loves the people and most people experience in their spirit that comfort of “I am finally home or this is where I belong, After all in my spirit “It is never enough”.

Yisrael clings to you like a garment or that comfort fleece that you never want to exchange. Being honest to ourselves and finding the truth in the Scriptures, we experience something much deeper that opens your eyes to see things differently as what you have seen before. The Spirit of YHVH. The number three represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection.

Interesting fact is that there were three fathers of Israel: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. According to the Law, men had to present themselves at the Temple three times a year at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. When studying the Word, the number three directly relates to the nature of YHVH, and later we see the number three multiply by threes. Yeshua affirmed the Spiritual nature of YHVH advising believers to be baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

To be "Baptized in the Spirit" we go through the purification and accept the Spirit of YHVH by emerging in to the water. The water refers to being born again. A mystery is a needful but hidden truth or information which can only be found out by diligent search through the help of the Holy Spirit of YHVH

Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of YHVH is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of YHVH’s favor.”

Yeshua understood his purpose in life was ultimately preparation for the fulfilment of his mission. The aim was not that Yeshua be YHVH, but that he was sent by YHVH for HIS Holy purpose.

The word sin literally means “missing the mark.” It indicates the failure to be what one should be and to do what one should do. Confusion started in the Garden when the serpent questioned the knowledge of Eve (Chavah). Man was made to be the created image of YHVH, to live in union divine life with YHVH, and to rule over all creation. The serpent (evil one) tempted them to rebel against the Creator. Adam and Eve's failure in this task is their sin which has also known as "the fall of man".

In this world, we find physical food that is restricted for us to eat, certain foods we do not mix, how to avoid contaminated food and healthy food that we know is good for us.

The spiritual food works on the same basis and therefore we should not eat from the tree that will be the result of our spiritual death. In the Last Supper, Yeshua was not a symbol, but a reminder, just like the Torah is lifted up; lifting up the bread was a reminder to keep the commandments of YHVH. The Torah is His Body.

The Torah was original written on sheepskin and written with the blood of that lamb. The sheepskin was sewn together with palm fibres and then nailed to the cedar wood on both sides. When a Torah is lifted high and unrolled it places the images of Yeshua HaMashiach on the cross.

Luke 22:20
He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood poured out for you.

For centuries and ages the people of YHVH turned away, they left the following the ceremonial requirements and duties because the pleasures of the world has drawn them. Even the priests and ministers in churches led them further away. Not only in these days but also in the days of Yeshua. We live in times of Revelations and many things that people did not know is revealed and many things that they rejected, now comes to understanding. Why did it take so long? Yeshua came as the fulfilment but many did not accept him.

John 16:1-11
“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to YHVH. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

John 16:12-15
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

It is difficult to speak to someone when the hard hearing or deaf, unless they have the capability to understand finger language. Even this is how YHVH made it possible for the deaf to receive His Word. Yeshua often spoken in Parables. Yeshua speaking in parables because the people do not see, hear and understand. The reason for their inability to comprehend is their rejection of truth. However, if they were willing, the spirit of truth would reveal all to them.

John 16:16-18
Yeshua went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

Understanding is not just pure knowledge but, also mean apprehension (alertness) or awareness in your spirit of emotion, giving you a appreciative comfort. When we do not understand you are uncomfortable with the lack of your knowledge that can influence you fearfully and questionable. Speaking in parables is difficult to understand when your spirit is not aligned. Yeshua often spoke in parables and referring to a equivalency to guide people to understand.

John 16:19-20
Yeshua saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

Often when people do not have clarity they will draw up their own assumption, but Yeshua was clear in hi explanation to them, that YHVH sent him into the world because of the command from YHVH. Yeshua did not act on his own behalf and did not do anything besides what YHVH demanded.

John 16:19-20
“Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from YHVH. I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

We often misunderstand the parables, the words written until the Spirit of YHVH reveals it to us.

John 16:29-33
Then Yeshua ’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from YHVH.” “Do you now believe?” Yeshua replied. “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

As Yeshua prepared to depart this world, He knew that difficult days lay ahead for His disciples. He wanted them to be ready for the most challenging times they would ever face. Yeshua explained how they could endure through the troubles of this life.

Amid the storms of life in a dark and fallen world, inner peace is only possible through a relationship we have with YHVH and follow Yeshua as a perfect example to overcome. The disciples could not depend on themselves to survive the trials and persecution but Yeshua gave them direction and focus.

The smallest hindrance can move us either out of our comfort zone to act or bring us to a better understanding. To “overcome” means “to defeat, to win a victory over. The Disciples being chosen had the task to go out, face the world, and remain in courage to endure whatever they may face. Obedience to YHVH’s call never ends in failure, no matter what the result is.

YHVH calls us to the impossible. The challenge Jonah faced was not going to Nineveh, but to face something that looked impossible. He was challenged to bring the truth to Ninevites but also, that his message carried that same weight as the endurance of the cross. His words had to have the impact on them to repent of their sins. Yonah didn’t want to go to Nineveh, and he didn’t want to see the city saved. He responded to YHVH’s call with his feelings, not with his faith. It is YHVH’s will that all the world would know He is YHVH.

What happened that day on the cross is that YHVH made something that seems impossible, possible. One man chosen to take on the sins of the world, carry it upon his shoulders on behalf of everyone. This was not something to be hidden, but for all to see, to bring people near to see that blood on the doorposts did mean something.

No effort was a worthless act. Not the pain he endured, nor the beating, mocking or even the lies spoken prevented him to do the will of HIS Father. Nor was this pride. It was pure will power to complete what his purpose of fulfilment was. While Yeshua and his disciples walked on that Mercy path after that last supper, they seen the Mount of Olives before them. Olives illustrate the perfect anointing that will come over YHVH’S people and set the captives free. Overlooking the Valley Zion was filled with their oil lamps ready for the Passover. Walking down that very same Hosannah path that Yeshua made his entry into Yerushalayim, reminded us of the perfect meaning "Save, Please!" “The crowds that went before Him and that followed Him were shouting ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of YHVH! Hosanna in the highest!”

The Mount of Olives are covered with graves of the Yisraelites. That same night a man form followed them into the Garden of Gethsemane naked and only covered by a linen cloth. Not only did a man who passed away hear his voice, but Yeshua healed the ear of the soldier.

John 5:28
Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of YHVH's Son, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.

That night in the Garden of Gethsemane, Yeshua had a perfect view of the Mount Zion, the Golden Gate perfectly before him. Yeshua knew that whatever it takes, he knew he had to endure as the valley of death was lying before those doors.

Yeshua is the Mercy of YHVH made human. He didn’t just teach his people to echo YHVH’s mercy in their lives, but he himself is, the mercy to us. His sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection extending YHVH’s mercy not just to Yisrael, but to all the nations by faith. Our YHVH all-powerful. He is not simply a GOD of uncompromising justice. He is the mercy-having YHVH.” Like Father, Like Son. While Yeshua were questioned about the Shabbat. Yeshua gave the following reply.

Matthew 12:1
At that time Yeshua went through the grain fields on Shabbat. His disciples became hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and eat them. But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not permitted on Shabbat.” But He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he became hungry, and those with him? How he entered into the house of YHVH and they ate the showbread, which was not permitted for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the kohanim? Or haven’t you read in the Torah that on Shabbat the kohanim in the Temple break Shabbat and yet are innocent? But I tell you that something greater than the Temple is here. If you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Master of Shabbat.”

In Matthew 12:40, Yeshua himself prophesies as the final, explicit sign to the Jews of His identity that he would be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Many questions been asked. What day of the week was Yeshua crucified? What day of the week did Yeshua rise from the dead? Was it a literal 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth? Was it a reference to his death and time in the grave? Or does it refer to something broader that we are missing?

Matthew 12:38
Then some of the Torah scholars and Pharisees answered Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But Yeshua replied to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seek for a sign, yet no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. For just as Yonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Yonah. And behold, something greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Yeshua spoke again in a phrase to the Torah scholars and Pharisees rejected.
Matthew 16:3
“and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. ' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the signs of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

Everyone tried to determine the time of three days and three nights but still they did not get the message. The focus remained on how the Hebrew day begins and ends at sunset.

Further to this YHVH provided them the sign in the skies to proof to all that Yeshua HaMashiach is the Son of God. Only when the darkness fell upon earth and the Temple veil torn, they come to realization that Yeshua is the Messiah. Unfortunately, even when the sign was given they still did not believe.

In our understanding we need to grasp that if the fourteenth day starts at sunset the next morning at sunrise it is still the fourteenth until sunset. Genesis. 1:4

Yeshua plainly tried to tell Torah scholars and Pharisees that they do not need to wait on the Messiah. He further gave a indication that even the men in Nineveh will rise up because they repented at the teaching of Yonah. Then he said that he is here. Still they looked for a sign, but Yeshua is in their presence. Still they waited on the sign.

Yeshua is the fulfilment of the great sacrifices for sin that was offered up on the Day of Atonement. Let us take a look at how wonderful YHVH showed Abraham that YHVH Himself will provide the sacrificial lamb. Abraham was righteous in the eyes of YHVH and was willing to make that offer.

Genesis 22
Some time later YHVH tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. Then YHVH said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."

Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place YHVH had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you." Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "YHVH himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together. When they reached the place YHVH had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of YHVH called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.

"Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear YHVH, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."

Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place YHVH Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of YHVH it will be provided."

The angel of YHVH called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, "I swear by myself, declares YHVH, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."

YHVH made provision and prophesied that He will provide the Sacrificial Offering Himself. Just as the bodies of those special sacrifices were taken outside of the camp and burned, Yeshua suffered, was crucified and was laid in a tomb outside the city walls of Yerushalayim.

Lets turn back to the history of this spectacular and divine revelation.

Yerushalayim and especially the Mount Zion where the temple stood, is known as the heart of the earth, the most focal point in history. This is the very place where the Dome is placed as dominion to destroy the hope of all generations. This very place had more significance than what nations could ever imagine.

Matthew 24:29-34
'Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

Are we still looking for the three days and three nights? Are we missing the sign that YHVH Himself provided? Look no further the Kingdom of YHVH id near.

Luke 23:38-47
Now there was also an inscription over Him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. One of the evildoers hanging there was jeering at Him, saying, “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!” But the other one, rebuking him, replied, “Don’t you fear YHVH, since you are under the same sentence? We’re getting what we deserve for our actions, and rightly so but this One has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Yeshua, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Yeshua said to him, “Amein, I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And Yeshua, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I entrust My spirit.’” When He had said this, He breathed His last. When the centurion, who was standing in front of Him, saw the way Yeshua breathed His last, he said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”

Multitudes followed Yeshua in Yisrael. They believed and they had the Messiah with them. But even yet after another sign you would wonder, why did they still not believe?

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared for Yeshua’s burial and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the of Yeshua in the tomb. - Luke 24:1

Yet there is another sign, that Yeshua had risen and escaped the grave.

1 Corinthians 15:55-58
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to YHVH, who gives us the victory through our Messiah Yeshua.

Yeshua escaped death by the resurrection and his body did not see the final resting place for the body, that is the “Grave”

After a body is placed in a tomb, the body will be prepared, the body will be enwrapped with a Tallit and the wings “Tziots” will be cut, the family will keep watch until the bones is ready to take to the grave.

Genesis 37:34-35
So Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days. Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, “Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him.

There is a difference between Sheol and Hades. Sheol was a place of darkness; it was a pit, where we all eventually would go, down into the dust.

Job 17:11-16
“My days are past, my plans are torn apart, even the wishes of my heart. They make night into day, saying, ‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness. If I look for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness; if I call to the pit, ‘You are my father’; to the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’. Where now is my hope? And who regards my hope? Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?”

Ecclesiastes 3:19a, 20
For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same… All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.

We are taken from the earth and to dust shall we return. There our bodies will remain until the day of resurrection.

Psalm 88:1-7, 11-15
O YHVH, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You. Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry! For my soul has had enough troubles, and my life has drawn near to Sheol. I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength, forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, and they are cut off from Your hand. You have put me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the depths. Your wrath has rested upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves…
…Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon? Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? But I, O YHVH, have cried out to You for help, and in the morning my prayer comes before You. O YHVH, why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me? I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

1 Samuel 24
After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, "David is in the Desert of En Gedi." So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats. He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave. The men said, "This is the day YHVH spoke of when he said to you, `I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.'" Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe. Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe. He said to his men, "YHVH forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, YHVH's anointed, or lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of YHVH." With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way. Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, "My master the king!" When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. He said to Saul, "Why do you listen when men say, `David is bent on harming you'? This day you have seen with your own eyes how YHVH delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, `I will not lift my hand against my master, because he is YHVH's anointed.' See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. Now understand and recognize that I am not guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life. May YHVH judge between you and me. And may YHVH avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. As the old saying goes, `From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you. "Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea? May YHVH be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand." When David finished saying this, Saul asked, "Is that your voice, David my son?" And he wept aloud. "You are more righteous than I," he said. "You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly. You have just now told me of the good you did to me; YHVH delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me. When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May YHVH reward you well for the way you treated me today. I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands. Now swear to me by YHVH that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father's family." So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

YHVH placed the command in scripture, commanding His people to make the fringes with the blue thread, He was saying in effect: You are a kingdom of priests to Me. This is echoed in Rev. 1:6: “He has made us a kings and priests (lit. “a kingdom of priests”) unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.”

Malachi 4:2
“But unto you that fear My Name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings.”

Many places in the Scripture Yeshua speaks in scripture, of his dependence upon His Father, as our Redeeming Lamb. Were He not the obedient Servant, He would not be the “Light of the World.” (John 8:12) He came in the glory of His Father. His prayer life was so profound, that His disciples observing Him, said: “Master, teach us to pray.” (Luke 11:1)

Yeshua rose on the Sabbath from the tomb, YHVH Himself created a day within a day when He brought darkness and a new day upon earth while Yeshua was on the cross. Yeshua folded the Tallit and left it in the tomb as a sign that he will return. The most amazing is that the everlasting life is made possible through Yeshua our Savior. Because he lives, I can face tomorrow.

Our Father, Who are in heaven, Holy be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Lesson continue!

Be Blessed and stay blessed!

Our Story

ISRAEL A visit to Israel is not just a spiritual tour but a life changing journey! Most of all however, a visit to Israel brings the Bible (Torah) to life - it is a journey through the Holy Book which helps us to come to understanding the past, present and what is to come. Can you imagine the excitement when you drive east from Tel Aviv's airport and suddenly there - nestled among the Judean hills, lies JERUSALEM! Could this be the view Yeshua enjoyed before He entered the City seated on a donkey and the crowd paved His way with palm branches? And when you stand in the GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE and touch the knurled trunks of ancient olive trees (which the guide tells you are over 2000 years old) you are humbled by the thought that it could have been these very branches under which Yeshua prayed in the hours before His betrayal. Visit the SEA OF GALILEA and stroll among the ruins of CAPERNAUM. Look up towards the MOUNT OF BEATITUDES and it is easy to visualise Yeshua looking across the sea of faces and delivering His Sermon on the Mount. And if you take a walk along the lakeshore in the early evening and the wind is tossing the waves violently, it is so easy to imagine a small boat with anxious disciples and their Master comforting them . . . The ravages of war and the signs of progress have obliterated much of the Israel of Yeshua’ time, but underneath it the entire Bible remains alive. Bethlehem may no longer be a neither small town, nor Nazareth a rural village but… they're still there, and they hold the history of the faith. A visit to Israel could mean a swim in the DEAD SEA, the view from the MOUNT OF OLIVES, a walk along the VIA DOLOROSA (The way of the Cross), a visit to the tombs of ABRAHAM and ISAAC, a journey across the Negev Desert, or strolling through the narrow streets of Old Jerusalem. No matter where you are in Israel, familiar names will leap at you constantly - you will be close to the Bible every minute of the day. If you love your Father in heaven and enjoy every relationship with Him you can't afford not to visit Israel.
