The Kingdom In Seven Parables

<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-size: large;">Vast numbers of Christians today are looking for and desiring Christ’s coming. The almost universally believed destination of Christ’s Return is Jerusalem. But is this what God’s Word says? </span></blockquote> <div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Many assert, by lacking knowledge of Christ’s coming, that He comes and immediately vanquishes all enemies, establishing His Kingdom as described in Revelation. Notice that the Kingdom was to arrive “without observation.” as described in Luke 17:20-21 first. Here Christ meant that just His presence can signal the beginning of the Kingdom’s presence. God has been working with people all over the world, preparing them for leadership positions in the initial phase of the Kingdom. Only after a reckoning of past performance before Christ’s judgment seat (Rom. 14:10; II Cor. 5:10) will these specially called and trained servants be permitted to rule. <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Jesus spoke of the Kingdom In seven parables, collectively painting a full picture in Matthew 13. The first, gives an overview of the People. The second parable is a depiction of the Good and Evil, coexisting in the same Place or environment, until the harvest time, after which it is set apart. The Third Parable explains the Establishment of a tiny, yet growing Kingdom. The fourth Parallel is drawn to highlight the nature in which the Kingdom is concealed. The Fifth explains how the Merchant Chooses the most precious, valuable people and secures the Land. In the Sixth, the people are chosen, that are valued (as compared with a rare pearl). The Seventh parable depicts a Father(Fisherman) going out to sea(the entire earth) and casting his net(The Kingdom) in a specific place, then removing the bad ones and covering the good ones to inherit the Kingdom(Both spiritual AND physical).You will see plain passages showing He establishes God’s Kingdom <i>on Earth</i>, using servants that are <i>here</i>.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and <b>they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend</b>, and them which do iniquity” Matthew 13:41<o:p></o:p></div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> This certainly depicts a Kingdom that has both <b><i>Righteous and Wicked</i></b> people residing therein. Now, the general Christian concept of Heaven does not provide for a heaven filled with Evil people, does it? If we look at the parables Jesus utilized in Matthew, He clearly explains that this is not just a Spiritual Kingdom, but a Literal Kingdom that is established on earth!<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b><u>Every kingdom on Earth today has four necessary components:</u></b> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->●<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span><!--[endif]-->Land, property or territory—however large or small.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. - And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth but for a season: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.<br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The very first parable is really a global general depiction of the process of receiving the Word of our Father. It shows those who ultimately succeed in the Kingdom, as those who listen, avail themselves, persevere under persecution and then ultimately bears fruit.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">    </span><!--[endif]-->Verse 24-30  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> This parable describes wheat and poisonous tares initially growing <i>together in the Kingdom of Heaven. </i>The first phase of this Kingdom is such that, as it grows, the wrong kinds of people <i>can get in</i>.<i> </i>Obviously the Kingdom is not in a place called “Heaven”, far removed from this earth. The field is the earth and although the good seeds are sown by our Father, the enemy sows tares in-between the good seeds. The Father clearly instructs his Angels, not to gather the harvest. First will be removed the Tares by the reapers and THEN He shifts the harvest to another collection point. He shall send His angels and shall gather His elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven. They will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">    </span><!--[endif]-->Verse 31-32  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:<br /> Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The seed is akin to microscopic but when it arrives bring this profound analogy! The mustard seeds Jesus’ audience was familiar with were extremely small—very hard to see. This is why He called them the “least (small in size) of all seeds, likely a mediterranean Mustard “Tree” called the Black Mustard. The “Kingdom of Heaven” the Kingdom of Heaven springs up from the small acts of generosity to our fellows that we may do and this then grows into something far bigger than we ever dreamed. It’s capacity to grow and to move through the faith of it’s spiritual citizens grows it into a world governed by it, becoming the “greatest among herbs”—a “tree”. It is an invasive plant that will consume a whole countryside in a short time. It grows up to 15 feet but one of  it’s unique characteristics are that these 15 foot plants grow so tightly together, they create an unsurpassable thicket that becomes a home to many species of bird, insect and rodents. It literally becomes it’s own ecosystem.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The next parable confirms the Kingdom’s small beginning and a new feature:<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">    </span><!--[endif]-->Verse 33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The “Kingdom of Heaven” expands because leaven always spreads, but it is also initially hidden—initially concealed in the flour.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The next parable confirms the Kingdom being hidden and a new feature:<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">    </span><!--[endif]-->Verse 44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The King will go, seek out and find the valuable treasure, realise its value and attain the land where it is found!

The kingdom is likened to the merchant(not the pearl). It is not valuable, because it is found in abundance! But because it is very rare and it will be protected and secured by the Merchant(Kingdom). Clearly, not all will make the cut or enjoy this protection.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The next parable confirms the small beginning and realisation of the Limited space available for Rare Good ones and a new progressive display of what will happen and when:<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <!--[if !supportLists]-->7.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">    </span><!--[endif]-->Verse 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The net(Kingdom) starts out empty. Over time it fills with fish of “every kind”—people from all nations. When the Kingdom was full, they drew to shore. But not all belonged in the net(Kingdom): Note, that not all fish in the ocean was in the net to begin with and obviously the Kingdom is not in heaven. He shall separate the ones in the net from one another. The fishers(Angels) sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. There is a definite progression from the previous parable in that the net only caught some fish in the sea, then a further refinement takes place as the best ones are sought out! The choice of words here is highly significant. “Vessels” depicts a strong analogy for a container or body. n 2 Corinthians 4:7, Paul said it was like having the most valuable treasure in an earthen vessel (meaning his body), “we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.” The wicked can however get <i>into</i> the earthly Kingdom but must at a point <i>be removed</i> or expelled.The good fish(souls) in the parable, receives a glorified body or vessel while the bad ones are disposed off entirely in the fire.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p> </o:p> This coming is distinctly different from both Haggai and Revelation’s version of Christ’s Coming. Many other Bible passages detail the war that Isaiah references—where it starts, how it spreads, who it affects, and its unimaginable severity.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Now read Zechariah 6:12 “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Yahweh:” Here Zechariah pictures Christ growing out of an undisclosed location referred to “His place” to ultimately build two temples.The first half of the verse describes building the Spiritual Temple and the latter, a physical Temple. Paul defined this Temple as this first Temple as (God’s people): “Know you not that you (God’s people) are the temple of God. This fits perfectly with Malachi 3:1, which describes Christ returning to Earth to His Temple(God’s people).<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Christ started His ministry away from Jerusalem, and he continues in this manner. The prophet Micah explains that the Kingdom <i>moves to</i> Jerusalem: “O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem” (4:8). It does not say the Kingdom is built in Zion or that it even <i>starts</i> in Zion. —Christ’s rule long before events in Revelation, after which it picks up again to continue for 1,000 more years—is  not from heaven either. Micah says it “comes” there, meaning it was initially somewhere else. (Rev. 22:16). He brings His dominion or His rule, <i>to</i> Jerusalem and Judah from a different modern nation of Jacob (Israel).He is in a location called “His place!”<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> The term “His place” is fascinating and truly incredible in what it reveals. It means “the bottom, depressed, below, underneath.” Thus the Kingdom and Christ start from what God Himself calls the bottom (a depressed place), below—meaning in a place that is concealed and underneath the “skyline” of human kingdoms and nations. <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p><br /></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Phrases like “daughter of Zion” (Zephaniah 3:14), of Babylon (Psalm 137:8), of Edom (Lamentations 4:21), signify the city or country named with its inhabitants. There is always in such phrases the name of a place, and this suggests that under the word “my dispersed” (pûtsai) there lurks some proper name. Looking at what lies beyond the Rivers of Etheiopia we find a very likely candidate in South Africa, “the daughter of my dispersed?”<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> At the southern tip of Africa there are a lot of people, although they account for less than 8% of the country's population, these people are particularly remarkable: It is remarkable that the ANC majority government almost every day must create or amend laws to criminalize, marginalize and penalize this small minority group;<br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> So remarkable that they are building a future without parliament, police, voting power and state aid every day because they believe that God placed them here with a specific purpose and calling; They developed a language from their common inheritances made up of Dutch, French, English and various other nationalities.<br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> So remarkable are they, that they survived for almost four centuries - bullied by the mighty Britain, the Great Depression, the unfair ANC and barbaric farm attacks.

Farms that mostly belong to the Afrikaner people and that have been ransacked, attacked and in instances expropriated in an attempt to rid the Country of the Afrikaner nation. Deliberate inaction of the South African Government has weakened rural security structures, facilitating Afrikaner farm murders, in order to terrorize white farmers into vacating their farms.

It is not a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="New Age">New-Age</a> concept, sold to an unsuspecting, hungry audience. This book does not target any particular secular order, denomination or institution and it does not side with the dogmatic, to fill seats in a new thought pattern. Instead, I employ an Ancient, Biblical overview and conclusive message of the unchanging, Constitutional Structures that makes up our world. A world that is very much ingrown in our being, but also a failed product of the banality of our belief systems. I attempt, not to discredit Science altogether, but merely address the theoretical hypotheses that the layman to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Natural science">Natural Sciences</a>, have adopted as absolute truths.<br /> <br /> The objective truth, I argue, originates not through secular knowledge, but exists in our primal beings and Inspired Writings. Corrupt worldviews, false senses of Reality and our very limited access to true wisdom is revealed in the conclusions we draw of life, of the creation and ultimately of our very innermost core beings. To grow into our pre-ordained destined existence, we are required to reformat our complete thinking. We are required to investigate the ancient pearls of wisdom as presented in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Bible">Holy Scriptures</a> and apply a child-like submission to the divine Spiritual possession in order to make progress. In this matter, we alone can choose, whether we want to proceed or not. We have to accept that what is written here, may shock, may test and may even destroy the very principles upon which we feel our Spirituality is grounded. The message employed in this book does not have at its core, a message of comfort and commercial acceptance. It is not my intention to tickle the ears.

Festivities, beginning in the evening, continue throughout the day. Happy Birthday Israel!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2mR2W43t6tI/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2mR2W43t6tI?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <br /> Wow!  This year has finally arrived, the year all true believers have been waiting for, whether some realize it or not.  I could write an entire Bible study just on this year alone, but I won’t!  Rather, with the Lord’s help, I will point out just a few things that should make our readers realize that this year is God’s appointed year to make the change from this present Dispensation of Grace to the seven-year judgment of the Tribulation period.   Are you ready?<br /> 2017 is exactly 120 years from 1897 when Theodor Herzl convened the First Jewish Congress, which set in motion the ultimate restoration of the Jewish people to a right relationship with their God.  Just as a 120-year warning was given preceding the judgment of the flood in “the days of Noah,” so the Lord God also graciously gave mankind living today a 120-year warning of impending judgment to come.<br /> 2017 is exactly 100 years from 1917 when the Ottoman Turks were driven from the Holy Land.  “100” is the Bible number signifying “calling; choosing; election.”<br /> [2017 is exactly 70 years from 1947 when the United Nations ended the British Mandate over the Holy Land, making it possible for the Jewish people to re-establish their nation the following year.  “70” is the Bible number signifying “the restoration of Israel.”<br /> 2017 is exactly 50 years from 1967 when the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Six-Day War">Six Day War</a> was fought, restoring the city of Jerusalem and the entire west bank to the nation and people of Israel.  “50” is the Bible number signifying “the Jubilee; freedom; liberty; restoration.”  See Leviticus 25, the entire chapter.<br /> 2017 is the year 5777 on the Jewish calendar.  “777” is the Bible number signifying “the exceeding fullness of the wrath of God.”  Are our readers aware that the father of Noah was 777 years of age?  See Genesis 5:31-32.  Are our readers also aware that America’s new President, Donald Trump, on the day he was inaugurated, his age was 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days?  [777].<br /> The numbers which identify this particular year of the century are quite unique.  There have been no year numbers like them since 1917, one hundred years ago.  1 + 7 = 8.  1917 was a year of drastic CHANGE.  Likewise, 2017 will be a year of amazing CHANGE.<br /> <br /> <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Yom Ha’atzmaut – <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_%28Israel%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Independence Day (Israel)">Israel’s Independence Day</a></span></b> – begins immediately following <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Hazikaron" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Yom Hazikaron">Yom HaZikaron</a>, Israel’s Memorial Day, in memory of fallen soldiers and victims of terror. This transition from somber remembrance to joyous celebration helps serve as a reminder that the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20(Israel)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Israel">State of Israel</a> owes its existence to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.<br /> <br /> This remarkable ability to grieve for the fallen and then rejoice in the miracle of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Jewish-State-Theodor-Herzl/dp/9562911357%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D9562911357" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="The Jewish State">Jewish State</a> is manifest in the State of Israel, where the people continue to look to the future with hope and optimism.<br /> <br /> The state ceremony that ushers in Yom Ha’atzmaut take place at Mount Herzl, Israel’s military cemetery, by the grave of Theodor Herzl, a founder of Modern Zionism. The flag, which was at half mast for Yom HaZikaron, is raised to the top of the pole. The celebration includes soldiers marching with flags creating various formations, hundreds of dancers, and of course, fireworks. The program is televised on Israeli channels.<br /> <br /> Many museums and cultural institutions across the country open their doors to the public during, and there is a wide variety of events and activities for families. A most popular tradition for Israelis is to barbecue, the Mangal, and go hiking in nature reserves. Parks are packed with people grilling their meat as a thanksgiving for the State of Israel.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Another popular event on Yom Ha’atzmaut is the annual <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bible_Contest" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="International Bible Contest">International Bible Contest</a>, a worldwide competition on the Tanach (Jewish Bible) for high-school students held at the Jerusalem Theater. The competition, broadcast live on Israeli TV and radio, is sponsored by the Israeli government and is attended by the prime minister.<br /> <br /> As well, each year, the Israel Air Force displays its military strength with a flyover across the country. Residents from north to south check the schedule ahead of time to know when the planes will pass over their neighborhoods.<br /> <br /> ‘Our Story is a Story of Hope’<br /> In his special message for Israel’s 69th Independence Day, Prime Minister <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Benjamin Netanyahu">Benjamin Netanyahu</a> spoke of the “moment of triumph for our people,” the day the state was founded.<br /> <br /> “We had been scattered around the world for millennia. And then we returned to our ancient homeland, to build a safe haven, where we could live, and thrive,” he said.<br /> <br /> While “many doubted that this tiny State of Israel would survive,” as the nascent state was “surrounded by hostile enemies, who attacked us again and again. So perhaps, for some, this skepticism was warranted. But survive we did.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Not only did the new state survive. “Much more than that. We thrived,” he declared jubilantly.<br /> <br /> “Today Israel is strong, democratic, prosperous. And I have no doubt that in the coming 69 years, Israel will continue to thrive, be strong and prosperous,” Netanyahu said.<br /> <br /> “Our story is a story of hope, not just for the <a class="zem_slink" href="https://web.archive.org/20121127021212/http://www.jafi.org.il:80/JewishAgency/English/Home" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Jews">Jewish people</a>, but for all of humanity. We persevered through adversity against all odds.

THE BEGINNING

<div class="zemanta-img"> <br /></div> <h4 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The desire of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Yahweh">Yahweh</a>’s heart is expressed in Creation. Yahweh’s goal, Yahweh’s plan, and Yahweh’s Predetermined Will are all made known in His universal Creation. Yet, Creation does not explain itself, under the natural laws. It cannot do so; its secrets should be unraveled by the created.</span></h4> <br /> <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LunarEclipse.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Lunar Eclipse" class="zemanta-img-configured" height="400" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/LunarEclipse.gif" width="400" /></a>Before the beginning, there was but one consciousness, that of Yahweh, whose nature cannot be conveyed in language. In the beginning, the Creating Word had been uttered. The Earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Yahweh was hovering over the face of the waters. Both Egyptian and Christian religions believe that all that is needed to start the process of Creation is nothing and Spirit, and when those two concepts are brought together, then all things can be created. The Egyptians also believed in the immortality of the soul, worshipped triads, or groups of three gods, and they used the cross, or ankh, a symbol of life.<br /> <br /> Think back to the very beginning of the Bible. It is so famous, so well-known, and still so very rich. It is difficult to picture what is described here, what is thus beyond our ability to grasp. We learn that in the beginning all was dark and shapeless. Everything existed in a state of inertia: defined in Physics as:<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “Inertia is a property of matter by which it keeps in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight course unless that nation is exchanged by an external power.”</blockquote> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> Can any scientist define the very nature of force, other than, as that which sets matter in motion? But if force be that which sets matter in motion, it cannot itself be material, if the fundamental law of motion be true that matter at rest remains at rest. Unless, therefore, the motions of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Nature">material universe</a> be the result of an immaterial force impressing itself upon matter. Our whole conception of dynamical science is rotten to the core.<br /> <br /> Yahweh then took thought and brought into being within Himself the Universal Womb of Creation. This generated power which brought forth Light, and formed a substance, separated into two forms of energy through being impregnated with the Spirit of Yahweh. The Universe having been created purposefully, it had to have had an objective. Creation reveals God’s eternal purpose; it shows us what Yahweh is truly after.<br /> <br /> Straight off, the Spirit of Yahweh moved over the face of the earth, but was not of this world. It bore all things and was in all things, but on Earth, could not be apart from anything. A command was given and this became the Law. The Creation miracle is described in:<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning Elohim created the Heaven and the Earth.</span><span style="font-size: large;">(<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_1%3A1" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Genesis 1:1">Genesis 1:1</a>)</span></blockquote> <br /> Now within the Universal Womb was heat, substance and life, and encompassing it was the Word which is the Law. Henceforth, activity was controlled in harmonious rhythm. We are just at the right distance from our Sun so that temperatures are contributing to life. We hold the correct atmospheric pressure for liquid water at our surface. The Law divided the materializing chaos from Yahweh and then set up the boundaries of the Eternal Spheres. Before all had been unchanging. In a state of inertia.<br /> <br /> Moses explains in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_creation_narrative" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Genesis creation narrative">Genesis 1</a> that the evening & the morning were the first day do in fact prove that God created time.<br /> <br /> <blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or Principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:<br /> (Colossians 1:16)</blockquote> </blockquote> or in Greek by (Hebrews 1:2) τους (THE) αιωνας (WORLDS) εποιησεν (HE MADE)<br /> <br /> Prove that Yahweh created time. Earlier there was no time as change is time. We know and are again made aware that all things are by nature, finite. They have a beginning, middle and end. Yahweh is the beginning and the end, beyond time, beyond the reach of mortals. Yet, there was no time before Creation, since the world was brought into being with time rather than in time. God is beyond the boundaries of time.<br /> <br /> The word “Science” comes from the Latin word scien­tia meaning “knowledge.” What we call “Science” seeks to recognize, explain, and classify knowledge of the material world. Yahweh, the Lord of the celestial sphere and the Earth, is also the God of natural sciences. God, in His Word, encourages man to consider the true sciences. For the invisible things of Him from the foundation of the Universe are clearly examined, being understood by the things that are made, even his everlasting power and Godhead; so that they are without regret. (Rom. 1:20). Scripture also says, “Thy word is Truth” (John 17:17). Hence there is no conflict between true science and the true teaching of the Bible.<br /> <br /> One word that haunts discussion of our astonishing capacity to make sense of the Universe is the word <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Logos">Logos</a>. In Western civilization, its most notable occurrence is in the extraordinary opening verse of the Gospel according to John: “In the beginning was the Logos.” This has kept thousands of commentators busy, because Logos, which is often translated ‘word’ or ‘reason’, do a lot of work – encompassing the Word that was Yahweh’s command that the Universe should come into being as well as the Word that was made Flesh in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_Christ" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Body of Christ">Body of Christ</a> in fulfilment of a Promise of salvation. The Logos is the origin of everything. God (created)energy, time (in the beginning), matter (Earth) and space (Heavens).<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into The Kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his Blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of all Creation: For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or Principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the Body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.<br /> (Colossians 1:13-18)</blockquote> <br /> There came about great land masses and high mountains, wide barren places and heaving waters. In Earth’s crust and you can dig up a selection of radioactive elements. While we might think of the earth’s magnetic field as protecting us from radiation, it does little to protect us from what is right under our feet. The core of the earth is a solid lump of nickel and iron, rotating in a sea of molten iron and nickel. Most of the radioisotopes on Earth reside in the core, where the heat from their decay keeps the core molten, the tectonic plates moving, and the dynamo deep in the Earth rotates. This rotation functions the same way winding up a handheld generator does, giving Earth an enormous magnetic field that extends up to 50,000 kilometers out into space. If it were not for radioisotopes, the core would cool, the magnetic field would disappear. The magnetic field is crucial for life on Earth, as without it we would be exposed to the full force of the Sun’s radiation, and the earth would slowly become uninhabitable.<br /> <br /> We have exactly the right amount of water so that our Universe has both oceans and habitable continents. Scientists think Earth was a dry rock, so where did this essential chemical, H2O, come from? The undeniable importance of water as a medium for developing life and that the earth's dis-tance from the Sun allowed a surface temperature just capable of maintaining water as a liquid, is in itself so miraculous it can act as a standalone factual proof of Divine intelligent design. Every one to two years, everything is in precise alignment, and we can witness the spectacular event known to us as a total solar eclipse. Coincidentally, while the sun’s width is about four hundred times larger than that of the moon, the sun is also about four hundred times further away. This makes the sun and the moon appear almost identical in size when seen from Earth. The sun having a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers and the moon having a diameter of barely 3,475 kilometers, it seems almost impossible that the moon is able to block the sun’s light. But it does! It appears that we are simply in the right place at the right time to witness this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> Fertile greenness covered the country and abundant life swarmed in the oceans and swamps with reeds. While Earth may not be the biggest planet in the system, it is the biggest rocky planet in the solar system, and also the densest. Therefore, Earth has by far the highest surface gravity of any terrestrial object in the solar system. Metals are hidden in the rocks and precious stones in the soil. We had just the right balance of heavy elements and organic molecules — for life to arise. The core was too light. Today, researchers continue to guess at which elements account for the density deficit beneath our feet.Amber and silver were scattered and secreted. There was metal for tools and forest of lumber. Available was stone for every purpose, for now, Earth throbbed with the vitality of life. Everything was prepared, everything was ready, and now Earth awaited the coming of the human race.<br /> <br /> Humanity, was then created from dust, or earthly substance alone. Life started and sustained it for our planet’s entire history, and gave rise to us: sentient, selfaware creatures. And so, there was the beginning and then the garden, and it was in this very garden man found himself literally as well as figuratively. Yahweh ensured that His Universe and His chosen species should be so designed, that the latter should make sense of the former. The most basic life components, such as amino acids and vitamins, have been found on ice grains inside asteroids and in the most extreme environments on Earth. Figuring out how these parts combined to form the first life is one of biology's biggest hurdles.<br /> <br /> The Creation of man is described as the pinnacle of Yahweh's creative activity. God has identified human beings at the focal point of his attention, to redeem them for Himself and to live with them always. The nature of man on Earth was shaped after the nature of things in Heaven, and humans possessed all things held as potential within himself, except Divine life. But he was yet an untrained, undisciplined child, still nurtured simply upon the comforting embrace of the visible, which is Earth and the material Universe.<br /> <br /> However, human beings could not know things, not of Earth. Spirit alone, could not soothe him. They were granted the exclusive right of regular communication with Yahweh (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:8) One adult male and one female was appointed, not entirely as the progenitors of our race but also as Yahweh's agents, His curators and caretakers over the Cosmos and they would hold dominion over Yahweh's complete earthly estate. He breathed into man the breath of Eternal Life. As the sun makes light and Fire spread heat, so does the Central Light give forth a unseeable glow, and this our fathers called the Breath of Yahweh. Into Adam’s sleeping Body Yahweh implanted a figment of Himself, the Seed of a Sensitive consciousness/soul and within him was a spark from that Creator Source. A human being “the mortal” became human beings “the heir of Yahweh”. Scripture explicitly differentiates the origin of soul from the origin of the Body (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Isaiah 42:5; Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9).<br /> <br /> As the Spirit filled the Body of man, so did Yahweh fill His Creation. Aristotle uses his familiar matter/form distinction to define First actuality as a capacity to enlist in an action. They both were made with a certain configuration, with the characteristics of mind, emotions, personality, and will. Since form is what makes matter “the sensitive soul“ is the form of a living thing. Not its shape, but its actuality. Man, were created "in His image" (Gene-sis1:26-27), and were made creative, imaginative, inventive, artistic, capable of loving and being loved and above all, able to worship. Had human beings not been created, who would have known Yahweh's Wisdom and power? Thus, if we have been made in “His image” Yahweh’s form must also consist of Yahweh’s actuality or potential. An unlimited potential! This brought about the possibility that man, likewise, could take an environment contrary to the perfect ways of Yahweh, due to the wrong motivational intent. When Yahweh raised man up from among the beasts, choosing him as His heir and endowing him with an immortal Spirit, the limited understanding of man saw imperfection in that which was stark for its determination. As long as Theosophy, the science of the Spirit, has not enlarged our conceptions, and the art of laying bare the soul, our eyes will be left unopened.<br />  <br /> There are only three levels of consciousness that Earth is actually experiencing right now. The First level is primal, the second level is our present consciousness, and the third level is the Divine Spirit, the one we are about to enter. The Bible never confuses Spirit and Soul as though they are the same. After the Fall, there were only two human conditions left around the Earth; the Body and the Soul.

Priests in ancient Egypt were thought to have a special relationship with the gods. Their primary function was to care for the god they served.

So means: "to exist", or "to come to pass”. Also, referred to as “I Am”. Known as the Tetragramma-ton (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Tetragrammaton">יהוה</a> is the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Names of God in Judaism">Hebrew name of God</a> transliterated in four letters as articu-lated as Yahweh (YHWH), although there is no “W” in Hebrew, but it helps with pronunciation).<br /> <br /> Until the early Middle Ages, Hebrew was written without vowels. By the sixth century A.D. a system of vowel signs was built up by the Masoretes, the Jewish scholars of the period, to aid the reader in pronunciation. They su-perimposed the vowel signs of the word “Adonai” upon the four conso-nants of God's name. In the First Temple Period, at least until the Babylonian Exile in +-586 B.C., the Divine name was regularly pronounced in everyday life. Although the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) was sounded out by priests in certain Temple liturgies, around the third century B.C., Jews avoided its use, employing instead many other replacements. When reading or reciting Scripture, the tradition was to substitute "LORD" from the Hebrew: Adonai, "God," from the Hebrew: Yahweh, "The Name" from the Hebrew: Ha-Shem, or by some other title. And because the Jews mistakenly would not use His name, it was not translated in our English Bibles. When you see LORD in your Bible in all capitals, it is from the Hebrew "Yahweh"<br /> <br /> The first translation of God’s personal name in an English Bible came out in 1526 when 3000 copies of the octavo edition of Tyndale’s English New Tes-tament were published in Worms, Germany. In William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch (first five books of your Bible). He used the form “Ie-houah.” Over time, the English language changed, and the spelling of the Divine name was developed. For example, in 1612, Henry Ainsworth used the form “<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Jehovah">Iehovah</a>” throughout his translation of the book of Psalms. Then, in 1639, when that work was revised and printed with the Pentateuch, the form “Jehovah” was applied. In 1901, the translators who brought on the American Standard Version of the Bible used the form “Jehovah” where the Divine name appeared in the Hebrew text. Young’s Literal Translation translates as "Jehovah." But, Hebrew scholars will be prompt to remind you that the letter “J” does not exist in Hebrew.<br /> <br /> NOT CONVINCED YET?<br /> <br /> <br /> <ul> <li>The name Yah is recorded over 50 times in the Scriptures and has al-so been replaced by the name "Lord" which we can conclude that the name of the Father is Yah. We see it in "I Am" and "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="I Am that I Am">HaYah</a>" I Am "HaYah"</li> <li>It worth a mention that the first three of the Ten Commandments deals exclusively with Yahweh and His Powerful Name. In the original Hebrew, the first five Commandments use the name Yahweh ten times!</li> <li>Sounds like “Yah” or “Iah” also appear in names like Isaiah (Isaiah), Jeremiah (Jeremiah), Zephaniah (Zephanyah), Nehemiah (Nehe-myah), Obadiah (Obadyah), Zechariah (Zecharyah), and many other names translated using the ending “iah.” Jeremiah translates Yahweh exalts, Obadiah translates servant of Yahweh, Nehemiah translates comfort of Yahweh.</li> <li>You see, when you say, "God or Lord is the one True god" you could mean any god or any lord. Buddhists could say " Amen! " And the Muslims could say, " Praise God "</li> </ul> <br /> <br /> The Divine name appears about 700 times in the book of Psalms alone. If Yahweh used His name almost 7,000 times in Scripture, I believe He desires us to know it, use it and praise it.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Halleluyah. Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, praise the name of Yahweh. Blessed be the name of Yahweh from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Yahweh's name is to be praised.<br /> (Psalms 113:1-3)</blockquote> This and the following five Psalms form what is called by the Hebrews the great Hallel, or praise; which was sung on their most sacred festivals, and particularly after the celebration of the Passover. Isaiah also makes particu-lar mention of His great name. The writing of Isaiah has been universally admired as the most complete example of sophistication and sublimity; and as set apart for brilliance, and for all the “sweetness” of the Hebrew words.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yahweh, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.<br /> (Isaiah 12:4)<br /> ***<br /> As for our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20(Israel)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Israel">Israel</a>.<br /> (Isaiah 47:4)<br /> ***<br /> For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my honor unto another.<br /> (Isaiah 48:11).</blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Yahweh, art our farther, our Redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.<br /> (Isaiah 63:16)</blockquote> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> His name is to be known, used, and praised!
