We are walking in today: Testimony Tuesday--What Does Yahweh's Word Say About Your Situation?
Witness endure throughout the Bible: `amad H5975 to stand, remain, endure, take one's stand, be in a standing attitude, stand forth, take a
stand, present oneself, attend upon, be or become servant of, to stand still, stop (moving or doing), cease, to tarry, delay, remain, continue, abide, endure, persist, be steadfast
Exodus 18:23; Jeremiah 10:10; Ezekiel 36:6; Joel 2:11; Malachi 3:2; Psalm 72:17, 102:13; Proverbs 12:7; Lamentations 5:19; Daniel 4:31; Matthew 16:21; Mark 8:31; Luke 17:25; 1 Corinthians 10:13, 13:7; 2 Corinthians 1:6, 12:12; 2 Timothy 4:5
According to the Hebrew calendar we are already in 5775, as the world prepares for 2015--let us take stock and inventory of our lives over the past months. There are some changes and shifting that is going to take place. Will you be ready? Are there still things still unresolved lingering? Situations or people that need to be addressed? We have to have those hard conversations to get out of our own way. In some cases we are blocking others blessings because we are causing the hold up. Those doors that Yahweh has closed for His purposes, cease banging on them to open! He has other plans for you and if you persist in being stubborn you could miss the next step in His plan for you, in this season.
From the weekend meditation through yesterday we have been looking at His feast days, appointed times which is being layered for our understanding that He is in control. He sets the times and seasons in motion at His design. Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. Fiveamprayer this understanding that He controls the seasons is that He certainly has our time in His hands. When things will turn round in your business, marriages or with your children--He knows it all. The time in particular that we at looking at today is the Jubilee-- the counting of seven times seven years for a total of 49 years. The 50th year is to be set apart, a time of liberty being proclaimed throughout all the land. In the Torah we have further details of why we should know more about this. This was the retuning of land that may have been sold to cover bills, would now return to the original owner. Those who sold themselves into slavery were set free and could return home. Since all of the possessions of the children of Israel belonged to Yahweh, they were done with as He wished. The promise that He gave His people was for them to have land and it could not be taken from them nor used by anyone outside of the people of Israel. The family members of the person were to purchase the land and keep the land within the whole house of Israel. While we are not currently under slavery as the ancient Israelite were, are we so different in debt and poverty that affects so many of us in this country? Would a time of rest from these plagues of our finances and worry in our minds--be a rest for our souls, as the Jubilee was for them?! Was there a plan in place to relieve or prevent what some of us are experiencing? A 50 year cycle of liberty and consolation where all the people in the land were to receive bountifully from what Yahweh produced from the ground, the people were not to work but allowed more time to study and the return of what was temporarily lost. In dealing fairly with their brothers and sisters fostered community and trust in Yahweh first and then each other. There was reduced competition for there was no one elevated above the other for in this year of Jubilee, no man could boast from this outcome. All were allowed to eat freely of all the fields for that meal and return as often as necessary. This reminds us of the manna that fell from heaven. That each person could eat to the full and would have to go out daily except for the Sabbath. That is how much Avinu Malkeinu loves and cares for us, He has times of refreshing, comfort and liberty for His people. His all-seeing vision knew we would need it--that our soul's would cry out for it. This lack of understanding of the Bible from a Hebraic mindset truly sets us at a disadvantage for obtaining the benefits and avoiding the curses. Can you imagine to continue to toil in the season that Yahweh has given us to rest and be restored?! How awesome is our Elohim! He upholds and strengthens us and prepares all that we need in the time that we need it! Hallelujah and Praise His holy name! Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheniu Melech HaOlam!
