10.15.25 ~ Be like Moses, David, Joshua and Yeshua

Good morning!

Over the past 9 days we have worked diligently to prove or disprove that Jesus/Yeshua is the Messiah that Scripture speaks of. We have covered a lot of territory from Him as King, to Lord, to Shepherd, to the One Who gathers the dispersed, to the suffering servant, Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah Ben David, the Prophet like unto Moses and the One greater than Moses who died, rose again and will, like Joshua lead us into the Promised Land during the Greater Exodus (Last night's zoom call)

Within our study we saw that Joshua/Yehoshua, as well as all of the Prophets, could possibly have been the one who was like Moses (Deut. 18:15), but his, and their qualities, though similar, were not complete. But what we do find in Joshua that is very much like Moses and true of Yeshua is that neither allows the law/torah of God to depart from their mouths, but they meditate/hagah on it day and night (Josh. 1:8; Psa. 1:1-3).

With the Feast of Tabernacles in the rearview mirror and the challenge to be imitators of Yeshua (Eph. 5:1,2), in the front windshield, may this be the charge that we take up also!
When they (the Psalmist, Joshua and Yeshua) meditated on the Torah day and night they didn't just casually think about it, there was an oral activity associated with it; using the tongue. It might be murmuring the words, recitingy, or repeating out loud from memory.

Do you find yourself easily repeating and meditating/logizomai on all the verbal nonsense of the world through tik tok, shorts, instagram, etc., but have a difficult time using your tongue to speak those things which are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, commendable, excellence, worthy of praise from Philippians 4:8? These are the foundational realities of Torah that we are to meditate/logizomai (put into practice, do something about it :-)

Let me encourage you to reflect over the past six months of the 2025 God's  feast season/moedim and God's miraculous working in your life; Where you've come from and where you're going. Remember the deeds of the Lord. Remember His miracles from long ago (they're coming again Eccl. 1:9 :-). Consider all His works and meditate/hagah on His mighty deeds (Psa. 77:11,12)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing unto you Oh Lord  (Psa. 19:14).

Chag Sameach during this season of our joy!

Shalom,
Alan

4.10.25

Good morning! The offerings/korbanot were indeed a source of joy and favor every time they were brought to the Temple or Tabernacle. For instance, when the Temple was being dedicated under Solomon's kingship, they had this incredible feast. The nation feasted on these thanksgiving and peace offerings; 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats (2 Chron. 7:5; 1 King. 8:63) and the glory of the Lord, as with the Tabernacle in Exodus 40, filled the Temple (2 Chron. 7:2). There was great joy in the presence of the Lord! And we have this covenantal intimacy because the offerings/korbanot expressed love, joy, loyalty and gratitude.  Let me speak very briefly to one common objection, particularly in a modern sense. Yeah, OK, fine, but still weird! OK, Solomon's dedication doesn't seem consistent with blood and guts, splashing blood, limbs cut off and burning on an altar to appease an angry god for the sinful disobedience of mankind; it is so barbaric. It's disgusting. How could G...

9.24.25 ~ 10 Days of Too Wonderful

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago I had share with you some thoughts about four concepts in scripture that are too wonderful. With Yom Teruah/shouting-trumpets, Having finished we found ourselves in what I called the 10 days of awe. 10 days of deep introspection, like the days of unleavened bread, research our lives for any areas that are left undone so that when the sealing takes place at Yom Kippur we can launch into the feast of tabernacles and beyond pure and white. From Passover toShavuot, There is a wonderful focuson the book of Ruth. In times past, we haveexamined the importance of the faith-filled, grafted-in Gentile who would restore the heart of the ‘bitter’ Jewish woman Naomi and be the means of redemption through the birth of Obed. We followed that up by walking with the ‘King in the field’ during the Sixth month on God‘s prophetic calendarand we prepared our hearts for Yom Teruah and the sign of Revelation 12. Last night, I had the opportunity to celebrate with beautiful...

6.8.25 ~ Are You in the Know?

Good morning! Today, we will leave dear people here in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, after 8 great days of study, prayer, and health related instructions :-)! On this 8th day of counting towards the first fruit of the wine, we continue our journey on how to intimately abide in the True Vine (Jn. 15:1-8). This morning I want to share with you a very familiar verse in Hosea 4:6 to continue our theme. Over the years I have heard the first half of this verse quoted, but 99% of the time I have never heard the second half of the verse quoted. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge/da'at (1st part). Because you have rejected/maas knowledge/da'at, I also will reject/maas you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law/torah of your God, I will also forget you." (Hos. 4:6) How often have you heard this verse quoted in a plea for renewed diligence toward the things of God?  The quotation is usually followed by an enumeration of our lack of Bible study, chu...
