While many people look at tragedies, cruelties, traumas, and the suffering in their lives, and that of those around them, their natural reaction is to despair. I would like to kindle a fire of a better and more lovely way to see it.
In years past, I had just accepted that these passages were suggesting that a change was taking place, that there was to be a new economy, new model, a new law and and new covenant that was being instituted by the Messiah - the old was passing away and all was being made new...I couldn't have been more wrong about the passages or what was being taught here. Why?
It is abundantly clear, and very easily understood that the 'everlasting' mark or seal of the people of Elohim is to be their keeping of the Sabbath. Praise YAH!
With our Elohim, nothing is done without purpose and longevity.
Yes, it rains, and indeed it snows, but it never returns without first accomplishing a blessing on the earth, the land.
Elohim ACTS, we REACT. HE is never shaken, we are often so...We travel along a set course, He is not so bound. He conceives, we live within His design. There is a consistency because He always KNOWS the END from the BEGINNING, because He wrote the script, and it has tremendous efficiency.
YaHWeH does not not stay still. As was illustrated plainly by the movement of His Son...And the path upon which we are to follow HIM is referred to in the Former Days Scriptures (OT) as TORAH.
The below video details an interesting take on the movement of the sun, the moon, the fixed and wandering stars (planets), and bears – if necessary – more than a single viewing.
YaHWeH's invitation to the hearers to "turn", "come", "hear" and "live" are simultaneously both seemingly a prerequisite and a benefit of joining in covenant with Him. The offer appears to be both personal ('I will make...covenant with YOU.') and yet inclusive and familiar ('I will make an everlasting covenant...').
HERE, in this passage, revealed to us is the REAL ECONOMY, and it is absolutely unparalleled. An economy introduced by Isaiah and put on display by Messiah throughout his ministry. An economy made for BEGGARS.
Genesis 1:14 makes it eminently clear: the sun, moon and stars were provided to us as time pieces...
