This morning we had guest speaker Rabbi Messer on the line to teach on the voice of the blood that speaks. We would like to thank him for this teaching as we see the scriptures come to life through the lens of current events!
This is voice from the blood that has been poured out on the ground cries out, in ancient times as it does now--avenge me! This season of teshuvah--our return to our natural original state has us in the field with the King. Our Redeemer who watches over us to protect us, gives is the why and how of what we see too often in the broadcasts of the news and in our updates on social media. The blood of the innocently slain has a voice:​

Genesis 4:8-11
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
​ 9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
​ 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
​ 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

2 Samuel 22:7-8
​ ​(KJV)
7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
​ ​8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

Psalm 56:7-9
​ (KJV)
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
​ 8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
​ 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

In this time and season we have to know that this is all written in scripture. Only fully revealed in the study of the laws of the land--set froth by our King Yahweh as the proper way to operate in the kingdom, the Torah. That which was once disregarded now seen fully active and shaping the actions of entire nations! Why so pressing today? Why crucial at this time? With a return to the appointed times of Yahweh that were given to led and direct the people of the Earth.

Genesis 9:5-6 (KJV)
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Genesis 4:10-11 (KJV)
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

We have clearly here in scripture that the blood of man, the image of Yahweh was never to be spilled--meaning there was to never to be murder of one man at the hands of another. All death sentences were to be carried out by
​dilligent ​research and two or more witnesses
​.​

Deuteronomy 17:4-7 (KJV)
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
​ 5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
​ 6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
​ 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.


Psalm 9:7-20 (KJV)
7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.


Deuteronomy 21:1-9 (KJV)
1 If one be found slain in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:
​ 2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
​ 3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
​ 4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:
​ 5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the Lord; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
​ 6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
​ 7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
​ 8 Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
​ 9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

Leviticus 25:29-34 (KJV)
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 30 and if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.


​What we have here is what Yahweh has said regarding His people, His beloved. There are rules, laws and ordinances set forth. In the taking of a life it was to be looked at the intention of the murderer. In the review by the elders or leaders of the people to see if there was ill intention involved or truly an accident. This ruling was not to be reached lightly since there was a life on the line, for the life that was taken. The Goel Ha Adama, Redeemer of the blood is the one who had the right to take the life of the one who slayed their family. Only if the murder fled to the City of Refuge to have all the facts determined would their lives be saved until the findings were determined. What does that mean for us today? Certainly the Bible was for such a long time ago and not impactful today--wrong!! The power and intent of these ancient texts have never been diminished, only our understanding of it has! The killings of so many throughout the nation that were unarmed yet wounded resulting in their death. Those who have dealt these wounds have too often been allowed to flee to places of refuge and yet not required to answer for the blood that they have spilled that continues to cry from the ground--'avenge me,' 'I can't breathe,' 'why are you following me,' 'you shot me, you shot me,' and ' please don't let me die.' Once you check your Facebook feed there is another incident involving spilled blood with no cause nor threat--just cries of widows and orphans echoing against the walls of the halls of gross injustice! Where can justice be found in a Torah-less society? Only in our return to the truth can we be righted and set in our proper place!
The other layer that must be considered is that the blood that is spilled could even be of the Levitical blood line--since over the years and time we do not know where we--in our original tribes comes from. ​They are the servants of Yahweh to minister unto Him especially in the offering of sacrifices and other duties of their office. This is a serious place that the nation of America is in. That the leaders of the cities, states and federal governments must stand up for and stop the injustice that is flowing down too many streets without cause. The spiritual leaders must return and teach the entirety of the Bible with Hebraic understanding--call out the truth! Cry out for restoration of order! Return to the ancient path first trod upon by Abraham, then Isaac and Jacob and taught to numerous generations since! The Torah is Yahweh's teaching and instruction--the laws of the kingdom of heaven! No other way or understanding yields this life and restoral, but the origin of all things--His holy word set in action by the utterance of His own mouth!


For those who will remain in silence you are setting up those around you to remain in error and even permit more disruption that will ripple across the nation in echoes of dysfunction and woe. Fiveamprayer is here to say what thus says Yahweh according to scripture, there is a voice of the spilled blood that cries out to be avenged. If this cry goes unanswered then the land can become cursed. In the most serious cases where the death penalty is considered there has to be a minimum of two witnesses--the blood is the first witness and the unrequited blood, defiles the land is the second witness. Which if left unaddressed causes a curse to be fall on that nation who has these incidents throughout the land that the very blood of the slain cries out to be avenged!
