1 Did I read that sign right? Toilet out of order. Please use floor below. In a laundromat: automatic washing machines: please remove all your clothes when the light goes out. In a London department store: bargain basement upstairs... In an office: Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday please bring it back or further steps will be taken. In an office: after tea break, staff should empty the teapot and stand upside down on the draining board. Outside a second-hand shop: we exchange anything - bicycles, washing machines, etc. Why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain? Seen during a conference: For anyone who has children and doesn t know it, there is a day care on the 1 st floor. [This deal is so bad, no comments can be made. However, the President apparently is not even waiting for Congressional response to put it into effect.] 1

2 [ In a diplomatic blitzkrieg, the Obama Administration has set this coming Monday at 9 a.m. EST for a vote at the UN Security Council (UNSC) in New York on the adoption of the Iran nuclear deal, which was announced by the world s leading powers and the Islamic Republic of Iran in Vienna on Tuesday. The Iran JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) resolution is now under silence and its adoption has been scheduled for Monday 20 July at 9 a.m., read the announcement on the Iran deal vote. In an under silence adoption procedure, instead of the UNSC holding a normal positive vote, the motion that is set for adoption under silence is deemed automatically adopted unless a party specifically objects to the motion.] בּ מ ד בּ ר B Midbar (Numbers) (6-8) מּ טּוֹת (Tribes) (from) Mattot B Midbar (Numbers) 30.7(6)a [This reading seems politically incorrect in the extreme.

3 [Bound is the key word. It could be understood that this passage is in the context of what might be called the compliant husband or The Silence of Adam book by Larry Crabb: Silence of Adam deals thoughtfully and honestly with men s ongoing struggles and exposes the difficulties they have in relationships. It presents the rich calling men have to reveal God in ways uniquely masculine. And it summons them beyond their paralyzing fear of failure to bold risk-taking, action, deep spirituality, and full-hearted living. Men are called to communicate, but the window is often limited.] B Midbar (Numbers) 30.8(7)b B Midbar (Numbers) 30.9(8) 3

[Seems like the essence of control and political incorrectness. passive father, 80% influence ~bitter roots #2 silence of Adam, Jewish husbands, cf hyper correct.. forgive her] מ תּ ת י הוּ Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:24-25 Mattityahu (Matthew) 7.24 ל כ ן כּ ל ה שּׁוֹמ ע א ת דּ ב ר י א לּ ה ו עוֹשׂ ה אוֹת ם י ה י ה דּוֹמ ה לא ישׁ apple בוֹן א שׁ ר בּ apple ה א ת בּ יתוֹ ע ל ה סּ ל ע.

Matt But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed -- and its collapse was horrendous! [We often think of this in terms of Missouri R. floods.

5 [Flash floods are very dangerous; they come quickly, often catch people by surprise, and their force is formidable. This is especially true of Israel s Wadi Zin, a deceptively dry riverbed most of the time. Visitors to the Dead Sea captured rare footage of a recent flash flood.] [Heavy rains in the desert highlands finally made their way to the Dead Sea region, as this footage reveals. The massive sandy waters rush down the riverbed before crashing over a precipice, creating small but powerful waterfalls. A dog barely escaped being swept up by the water and several spectators are seen running as the water crashed down the valley. Bear in mind, however, that sudden water surges such as this are also exceptionally destructive. Any vegetation in the river s path would have been destroyed, and soil eroded.] [Imagine if you were tenting, or build a house on that nice, level, sandy area. CF the difficulties of the rocks behind.] 5

Physical and spiritual meaning Build his house on the rock hears these words of Mine and does them [Craig Keener Matt commentator: Yeshua ישוע is using language that Jewish teachers would usually reserve for the Torah. these words of mine authoritative. Not ~Torah Adoni said to Moshe Or N veiim/prophets Hear the Word of Adoni words of Mine implies divine Messiah authority, as was expected in His day. Dan 7. Ps 110 No one else talks like that. Hearing and doing = building on the rock Building on the Rock = life on truth My teenage years, seeking for reality. Remember seeing business offered Reality. Found out Realty.] Do? Yeshua ישוע is concluding His keynote address, Midrash on the Mountain. Considered: Attitudes, Torah keeping, anger, sexuality, honesty, enemies, giving, prayer, fasting, worry, judging, and more! [Begins this passage with therefore When you see, important to ask What is it there for? Seems to be a really hard yoke! Then as B sorah/history progresses, new slant on all.] Mtt 8.13 Yeshua said to the officer, Go; let it be for you as you have trusted. And his orderly was healed at that very moment. [Doing by trusting in His Word. Faith in His Word imparts power to do.] Mtt Then, without warning, a furious storm arose on the lake, so that waves were sweeping over the boat. But Yeshua was sleeping. So they came and roused him, saying, Sir! Help! We re about to die! He said to them, Why are you afraid? So little trust you have! Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a dead calm. 6

7 [Storm of conscience. Faith overcomes storm. Famous quote of John Wesley re Moravians singing in storm on Atlantic. Essence of a storm at sea is a heart at peace with G-d.] Matt A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years approached him from behind and touched the tzitzit on his robe. For she said to herself, If I can only touch his robe, I will be healed. Yeshua turned, saw her and said, Courage, daughter! Your trust has healed you. And she was instantly healed. Yokhanan So they said to him, What should we do in order to perform the works of God? Yeshua answered, Here s what the work of God is: to trust in the one he sent! [Doing by trusting. Lots to do. I never speak enough about servant heart and spirit. But, to do in attitude of trust and praise. Miriam and Marta, who is the better? BOTH necessary!! Above similar to words in Sefer HaShalikhim, Book of Acts, concerning angelic visit to Roman officer.] Acts He will speak words to you by which you will be saved you and all your household. [Words can save?? Trust in the words. Activating trust in the Words. Here are the words.] Acts We are witnesses to all He did, both in the Judean countryside and in Jerusalem. They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree, but God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be visible not to all the people, but to us, witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God. We ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. [Words of death and resurrection of Mashiakh.] Acts And He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that He is the One ordained by God as Judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who puts his trust in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Ruakh ha-kodesh fell on all those hearing the message. [This is the essence of being saved = having the Ruakh HaKodesh. Cf Israeli man I know, I want the Ruakh HaKodesh. We receive by believing G-d and His word. How can G-d ask a man to slay his son? Kabbalist friend. Said, Torah is the clothes, Kabbalah is the light I have another way of receiving. Ruakh HaKodesh ] Ro What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was set right by works, he has something to boast about but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. [Shaul/Paul, quoting Beresheet/Genesis] Beresheet 15.6 He believed in ADONI, and he credited it to him as righteousness. 7

Gal 5.6 For in Messiah Yeshua, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any meaning but only trust and faithfulness expressing itself through love.

Writing essays, more vitriol you could express against them the higher marks.

Before he began a theological course in Singapore, the principal warned him that they prayed for Israel at the college, and was shocked to discover it was not a problem for him.

[Born into a Coptic Orthodox family in Upper Egypt became a born-again believer at 15. Even Christians in Egypt are encouraged to hate Jews. Writing essays, more vitriol you could express against them the higher marks. But whenever I read about Israel in the Bible I fell in love with these people; something happened in my heart connecting me with them. Before he began a theological course in Singapore, the principal warned him that they prayed for Israel at the college, and was shocked to discover it was not a problem for him. He started a successful Bible school in Egypt, with 350 students enrolled, but the secret service closed it down. He was jailed for a time and prevented from leaving the country, but eventually got out and settled in London. Founded a Bible school and started his church. Asked if he believed Arabs and Jews could be reconciled, he answered in the affirmative, adding: But only in Yeshua. Sent to Taysir: Thank you for sharing this. Praise the lord. More Lord more.] On 23 February pro-russian demonstrations were held in the Crimean city of Sevastopol. On 27 February masked Russian troops without insignias took over the Supreme Council of Crimea, and captured strategic sites across Crimea, which led to the installation of the pro-russian Aksyonov government in Crimea, the declaration of Crimea s independence and the holding of a disputed, unconstitutional referendum.

I asked her if she knew where the gas gauge is on the control panel, and she replied, No. I then asked if she could see the control panel from the back seat, which she could partially see, but she didn t know which gauge was for what. It was at that point that I asked a question, Do you think you can trust your Ema (mom) and Abba (dad) to know what we are doing? It was at that moment that I heard the Holy Spirit asking me, Can you trust that your God knows what He is doing? This week we all woke up to a new reality regarding Iran. It s a reality that the Israeli Prime Minister described as, The World Today is a much more dangerous place than it was yesterday, in response to the recent nuclear agreement with Iran, which will give Iran the capability to build a nuclear bomb. There is no doubt that this is a foolish agreement, and that this will only strengthen global terror not only in the Middle East (as some may think), but throughout the Western World as well. I even foresee a future reality through which this agreement will blow up in the face of the very nations that bowed down to this foolishness when Iran will use it against them. However, my brothers and sisters, this should not be a surprise from a worldly point of view; Iran s President, Hassan Rouhani, is very different than the one who came before him, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The major difference is that Ahmadinejad actually said what he was thinking and publicly supported terror, versus Rouhani whom I describe as a wolf in sheep s clothing. He has the same agenda as Ahmadinejad who preceded him, but appears more reasonable to the Western world since he wears a diplomatic suit.let me remind my readers that from a Biblical point of view, there are events that must take place on God s timeline! While I stand against them, I also understand that as I read the word of God, these events foretold by the biblical prophets are unfolding before our eyes. It should not be a surprise that the world will make decisions that will risk Israel s existence, such as the most recent deal. The world will allow things to happen against Israel, and when Israel will try to protect itself, the world will turn against her even more. But my brothers and sisters, those of the same faith in Messiah, let me remind us of the same question that the Holy Spirit asked me: Can you trust that your God knows what He is doing? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Creator of the universe was, is, and will always be in control over everything that is happening. He will allow certain things to happen in order for His Word and unchanged plan to come true.just like my daughter who could only see part of the control panel, and could not understand what it meant, we too cannot fully comprehend God s plan! Let us not panic, but instead put our trust in the only One who can give and take life and who is in control over all the events happening in the world.in closing, dear reader, I write this with a humbled and very concerned heart: make sure that you are taking the correct 10

11 side God s side. The world may gather against Jerusalem, the world may be able to bring some fear into Jerusalem, but it will all be in order for the inhabitants of Jerusalem to turn to God, to seek God and to repent before God. He will be Israel s only Defender; He alone will fight against and judge the world, and when this happens, it will be scarier than anything anyone has ever seen! Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
