Reflections on Shabat! The 28 April 2023

  May our heart be as pure white as a magnolia flower and may it always be cleansed by the holy blood of our Savior, Yeshua the Messiah, from all sin and lawlessness!


We are constantly being watched from heaven!

Already in ancient times, the patriarch Job knew it when he was in the most severe test of his life. He then said to his Creator under his great pains: Job 7:17-19

>>17 What is man, that you should magnify him, That you should set your mind on him, 18 That you should visit him every morning, And test him every moment? 19 How long will you not look away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?<<

We notice at the end of the book of Job how much Yehowah loved Job and that's why he tested him in the furnace of suffering to get to know what Job really thought about him and how he reacts when he experiences such constant torture for which he did not understand any reason!

Yehowah knew that Job did not know him as the Almighty and Omnipotent Creator who loves all his creatures. At last Job came to know him as such, and his hard fate was turned into abundantly blessed!

Are you under a lot of anxiety right now?

Just as our Savior had to suffer innocently when redeeming us from the power of sin and death, so we too are tested in the furnaces of suffering. The reasons why we are tested are certainly different from why Yeshua the Messiah was tested. Those reasons include, for example, the following:

1. Peter 1:6-9

>>6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials, 7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Yeshua HaMashich—

8 whom not having known you love; in whom, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory— 9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.<<

 2. Thess. 1:3-7
>>3 We are bound to always give thanks to Elohim for you, brothers, [The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”] even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds; 4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of Elohim for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of Elohim, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of Elohim, for which you also suffer. 6 Since it is a righteous thing with Elohim to repay affliction to those who afflict you, 7 and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when Adonai Yeshua is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire.<<

Hebr. 2:10-13
>>10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers [The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”],

12 saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” 13 Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here am I and the children whom Elohim has given me.”<<

Your anxiety will end just in time!

In my youth I saw in a dream like a vision the process in which the human soul is purified in the fire of suffering for heaven. It was my soul. The process took quite a long time in the dream, but eventually my soul became snow white. I'm still in that process and I know it will end soon. The same will happen to your soul, so be patient.

Here is the link to that wonderful vision of mine:

Ps. 138:8 David's prayer below was answered. You will be answered as well!
>>Yehowah will fulfill that which concerns me; Your loving kindness, Yehowah, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands!<<

Adonai Yeshua will never leave unfinished the good work he started during the new Covenant, but will complete it by the day of his coming for you as well.

1. Peter 5:10
>>But may Elohim of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by HaMashiach Yeshua, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.<<

Have a safe mind! Time flies and with Yeshua the Messiah as our King: "The saints of the Most High will receive the Kingdom and hold it forever!" (Dan. 7:18)
