02/23/2007 Sabbath Meeting Transcript

The Israelites trek into the land flowing with milk and honey is symbolic of our own journey to the promised land.

They were called out of bondage (Egypt), led by the Spirit into a time of trial and testing and were eventually led into the Promised land

We too were called out of bondage (sin), and are being led into righteousness and trials and testings by the Spirit of Yahweh Most High

And we, if we endure to the end, will eventually be led into the promised land.. also by one named Yahushua (Joshua)

We read in the book of Numbers where Moshe sent men to spy out the Promised Land and to bring a report back about the land:

Numbers 13:17 - And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

Numbers 13:18 - And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

Numbers 13:19 - And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

Numbers 13:20 - And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

Numbers 13:21 - So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

Numbers 13:22 - And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

One might wonder why there was a need to send out spies. Yahweh certainly knew what kind of cities were there and what kind of land it was

He knew whether they were strong or weak, few or many

But we know that Yahweh likes to test us, to see what is in our heart. So it was with them.

When they returned, they brought back an evil report:

Numbers 13:30 - And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Numbers 13:31 - But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.

Numbers 13:32 - And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

Numbers 13:33 - And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Numbers 14:1 - And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

Numbers 14:2 - And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would Elohim that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would Elohim we had died in this wilderness!

Numbers 14:3 - And wherefore hath YAHWEH brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

Numbers 14:4 - And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

We see that they wanted to return to Egypt. They did not believe Yahweh and His word

So Yahweh said:

Numbers 14:11 - And YAHWEH said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

In spite of all the signs they saw, it did not produce faith in them

So it was in Yahushua's day as well.

No matter the miracles and signs, no matter the awesome teachings of Yahushua, no matter all that He did. In spite of all the crowds that followed Him day by day..

Men were able to poison their minds against Yahushua to the point of them saying:

Matthew 27:25 - Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Never underestimate the power of a false accusation.

The people who brought the evil report basically accused Moshe of leading them to a place where they would be killed by the sword

And they were ready to go back to Egypt

They were ready to find someone else to lead them back into slavery.

Tonight I would like to ask the question, "Do WE believe Yahweh?"

Do we believe that He is willing and able to deliver us from our enemies and bring us to the promised land (His Kingdom)?

Are we fearful rather than full of faith?

How will Yahweh deliver us and carry us through?

What must we do in order to overcome and be delivered?

It is written:

Isaiah 45:23 - I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Isaiah 45:24 - Surely, shall one say, in YAHWEH have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Isaiah 45:25 - In YAHWEH shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

So we see that part of the oath in the above verses was that ALL people would say "'Surely in Yahweh I have righteousness and strength".

Yes, one day all will be forced to bow the knee to Yahweh and confess that only in Yahweh do we have righteousness and only in Yahweh do we have.... "strength".

We know that Yahweh's righteousness is placed on those who accept the Messiah Yahushua, but how are we going to be able to get Yahweh's strength?

We must believe!

1John 5:3 - For this is the love of YAHWEH, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

1John 5:4 - For whatever is born of YAHWEH overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

Indeed, our faith!

If the children of Israel in that generation had faith, they would have made it across the Jordan

So it is with us.

In fact, without faith, it is impossible to please Yahweh:

Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to YAHWEH must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

We surely must have faith in His "strength" in order to have victory and overcome

He must be our "Elohim". The word "Elohim" has much to do with strength, might and power. Consider:

Micah 2:1 - Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

The Hebrew word translated "Power" in this verse is the Hebrew word "El".. the word family from which we get "Elohim".

Yahweh must be our "Power, Might, our Mighty One!". We must rely on His strength and believe in His word that He is able to bring us (yes, even us!) to the promised land if we have any hope in overcoming.

As we studied two weeks ago, one thing we must remember is that the Adam man (with all his desires) died when we received Yahushua and were baptized in His name.

Do we believe this?

I once spoke with a man who said that years ago he took a lie detector test to apply for a job.

He kept meditating on this scripture during the test...

Romans 6:6 - Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

The eyes of the person administering the test grew large in total amazement as he noted that part of the results of his test were as if he were administering it to a dead man.

Brethren, our flesh should be reckoned as dead... by faith we believe His word is true.

When "we" are weak, HE IS STRONG

Isaiah 40:29 - He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Psalms 68:35 - O Elohim, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the El of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohim.

Do we believe this? Or are we like those who died in the wilderness who didn't believe that Yahweh was strong enough to take them into the good land?

Is He truly our "Elohim"? Our Elohim is not weak!

He is the source of strength. Indeed from Him are all things, from the smallest atom to the farthest reaches of the universe. Does He not have strength and power!!?

YES.

And do not think to say within yourselves, "Those scriptures are for another...for I am not worthy"

If you believe in Yahushua and are truly seeking to overcome sin, you are a child of Yahweh. The Scriptures say so!

Through Yahushua we believe that we have eternal life, because His word says so

1John 1:8 - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Do not say that He is not faithful and just to forgive us... there is an unclean spirit of lies that seeks to destroy you and your faith in what Yahweh has done, is doing and will do in your life!

Thus, by faith we believe we are "His people"

So also we should believe Psalm 68:35 which declares that He gives strength and power to His people!

Psalms 68:35 - O Elohim, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the El of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohim.

Believe Isaiah 40:29 which says that He gives power to the faint!

Isaiah 40:29 - He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Believe His word, brethren.. and Yahweh will take You places!

How do we receive His strength and power so that we can overcome and walk in victory?

Let's look again at the verses in 1John 5 that we were reading:

1John 5:3 - For this is the love of YAHWEH, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

1John 5:4 - For whatever is born of YAHWEH overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

THIS is the victory: OUR FAITH

1John 5:5 - Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yahushua is the Son of YAHWEH?

So then, just as we know that the righteousness of Yahweh comes through Yahushua the Messiah.. so does Yahweh's strength. Indeed it was through the Messiah that Yahweh created all things:

Hebrews 1:1 - Elohim, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

Hebrews 1:2 - has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

Hebrews 1:3 - who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

How's that for qualifications?

This is One who is able to save us and redeem us and give us the victory!

We must overcome the world by our faith in the strength of Yahweh, given through His Messiah.. Yahushua.

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Yahushua has overcome the world! He who lives in us has overcome the world!

Since we abide in Him and He in us, then He can overcome the world also, IN US:

1Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to YAHWEH, which giveth us the victory through our Master Yahushua the Messiah.

1Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of YAHWEH, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in Him.

It is Yahweh who gives us victory, yet we must remember that there is One that Yahweh has chosen to give us victory through!

His very name 'Yahushua' (Yahweh is salvation, or Yahweh saves) indicates this.

Psalms 98:1 - O sing unto YAHWEH a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Psalms 98:2 - YAHWEH hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

Psalms 98:3 - He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohim.

His Holy Arm, Yahushua the Messiah (compare Isa. 53:1) has gotten Him the victory and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of Yahweh. Overcoming and victory are at the heart of the salvation message.

1John 2:13 - I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.

1John 2:14 - I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of YAHWEH abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

When His Word abides in us, we can overcome.

Psalms 119:11 - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

When His word is in our heart, Yahushua is in our heart and we do not believe lies anymore

Instead, we believe Yahweh. So we overcome by faith.

How does faith come?

Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of YAHWEH.

The Messiah, the Word must abide in us. We must be willing to abide in Him.

When we fill our minds with His word, it results in an increased faith. Beware of filling your mind full of the words of Yahweh's enemy!

When we fill our minds with His word, it results in an increased faith

John 15:4 - Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

If we love the Word, it shows that we love Yahushua... for He IS the Word

John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 15:6 - If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

John 15:7 - If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

John 15:8 - Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

John 15:9 - As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

John 15:10 - If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

So with Messiah (the Word) abiding in us, and we in Him, we will keep His commandments. The more we sow His word into our hearts, the closer we are to the Word, the Messiah and the more He abides in us, and we in Him

If His Word, Yahushua, lives in us then the Spirit of Yahweh which dwells in Him will surely guide you to walk in His will

1John 3:24 - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

Brethren, if we are in battle with sin and are needing victory.. Yahweh is stronger than anything that could possibly come against us!

David recognized this and called upon Yahweh:

Psalms 39:8 - Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Again, remember the name of Yahushua and its meaning that Yahweh will deliver us from our sins:

Matthew 1:21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahushua : for he shall save his people from their sins.

It was for this reason Yahushua came

Isaiah 61:1 - The Spirit of the Master YAHWEH is upon me; because YAHWEH hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Yahushua said He fulfilled these in Luke 4:21. Yahushua will heal your broken heart, proclaim liberty to you and release you from being bound by sin

That's a promise that we must believe and receive!

Not only will Yahweh use Messiah to deliver you from Your sins by means of forgiveness, but He will also use Messiah to deliver you from any sins you may commit in the future by giving you the power to walk in victory.

We simply must believe the good news.

What temptations come into your life?

We need to treat that temptation like the enemy and immediately pray.

Ask Yahweh to deliver you from your enemies

Remember by faith that the old man is dead, and Yahushua lives in you. "In the name of Yahushua the Messiah, I am dead to that! Yahushua has overcome the world and He lives in me!"

1Chronicles 16:11 - Seek YAHWEH and his strength, seek his face continually.

Seek Yahweh and His strength. He has the power!

Nearly all temptation begins in the mind. When the temptation enters your mind, get your mind on Yahweh by praying, declaring your word of faith and have scriptures memorized that condemn the sinful act you are being tempted by. Resist the enemy if he is bringing these temptations to you.

Sometimes we can even have temptation while praying. Do not stop! If necessary:

1Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.

Treat the sin like the enemy of Yahweh that truly is

Confess to Yahweh that you cannot do it, but that you do have faith that Yahweh can bring Yahushua to overcome the world through you. And unlike the children of Israel who thought the enemy was too big for Yahweh, believe in HIM!

Remember, there is a battle going on and it is the most important battle in the world! There is nothing more important!!

Yahweh is much stronger, and can easily overcome the enemy. He wants us to believe that He IS

2Corinthians 10:3 - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,

2Corinthians 10:4 - for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

2Corinthians 10:5 - Destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of YAHWEH, taking every thought captive to the obedience of the Messiah,

Bring "every thought" into captivity to the obedience of the Messiah. For the battleground is in your thought life. It is there that we must call upon Yahweh for victory, and it is there that we can have true victory. It is there that WE MUST WIN. For He who is in us is stronger than he that is in the world.

Believe in Yahweh, reject the lies. Put that thought in a box and cast away from you. Resist the devil...

James 4:7 - Therefore submit to YAHWEH. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

In this battle, we need to be on Yahweh's side!

If we decide to live in sin, it demonstrates whose side we are on.

Do our thoughts and works advance the kingdom of satan (rebellion and sin)?

Or do they advance the kingdom of Yahweh (submission and righteousness)?

We don't want to be on the side of the enemy. We know where he is going and we do not want to go there!

There is a kingdom coming where Yahweh will rule and reign. We need to let Him rule and reign over us NOW.. TODAY. For all such disobedience will be punished. Let's be not only overcomers, but ready to punish all disobedience

Luke 19:27 - But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Yahushua must be on the throne, and "we" must be dead.

But what if we do sin?

1John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Confession is an important part of being cleansed and overcoming. To confess means "to agree with". Agree with Yahweh that you have sinned and turn away from it. Then go forth to battle again (in faith and in His strength this time)!

We may appear battle weary at times, but in Messiah we will overcome

2Corinthians 4:7 - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of YAHWEH and not from ourselves;

2Corinthians 4:8 - being afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

2Corinthians 4:9 - persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2Corinthians 4:10 - always carrying about in the body the dying of Yahushua, that the life of Yahushua also may be manifested in our body.

We can overcome. Don't be discouraged. Others gone before us have made it, why can't we?

Proverbs 24:16 - For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

If we will only overcome...

Revelation 2:7 - "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the garden of YAHWEH." '

Revelation 11: -

Revelation 2:11 - "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." '

Revelation 2:17 - "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives [it]." '

Revelation 2:26 - "And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations--

Next time you are tempted.. ponder these scriptures a while

Revelation 3:5 - "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Revelation 3:12 - "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My Elohim, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My Elohim. And I will write on him My new name.

What promises!

What love!

To take a pile of condemned flesh and turn it into something so beautiful!

Ephesians 3:14 - For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Master Yahushua the Messiah ,

Ephesians 3:15 - from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

Ephesians 3:16 - that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

Ephesians 3:17 - that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Ephesians 3:18 - may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--

Ephesians 3:19 - to know the love of the Messiah which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of YAHWEH.

I love it

We can overcome with the Word of Yahweh

Yahushua, each time he was faced with the enemy:

Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH.

Each time he faced temptation, He used the Sword.. the word of Yahweh for His strength

Now look where He is!

And where we can be!

Revelation 3:21 - "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Wow!! Yahushua wants to take us (a pile of condemned flesh) and restore us...making us righteous as He is, and set us at His right hand. What love He must have, yes?

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!

Therefore, let us not be like the Israelites in the wilderness and say that we cannot overcome it.

Let's not say "It is too strong for us"

Let's not weep and mourn because we don't think we can destroy the enemy by the power of Yahweh.

Let's believe Yahweh, that we CAN overcome with HIS strength!

Revelation 12:11 - "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

For what is this life anyway?

James 4:14 - whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Cry out in the hour of trial..

Isaiah 40:6 - The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

Isaiah 40:7 - The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of YAHWEH bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our Elohim shall stand for ever.

It isn't worth it! There is nothing in this life worth hanging onto. The flower fades, the houses burn, the people die. But the word of Yahweh stands forever. And if the word abides in You, then you also shall stand forever!

It isn't worth it! There is nothing in this life worth hanging onto. The flower fades, the houses burn, the people die. But the word of Yahweh stands forever. And if the word abides in You, then you also shall stand forever!

Overcoming and walking in victory with Yahweh is ETERNAL

Revelation 15:2 - And I saw [something] like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark [and] over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of Elohim.

Revelation 15:3 - They sing the song of Moses, the servant of YAHWEH, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, O YAHWEH El-Shaddai! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!

Revelation 15:4 - Who shall not fear You, OYAHWEH, and glorify Your name? For [You] alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested."

Indeed, we must sing the song of Moshe, the servant of Yahweh AND we must sing the Song of the Lamb! They are one, and the whole word of Yahweh is one. Will we sing the song of Moshe AND the song of the Lamb?

Today His judgments, statutes and commandments are ignored. But we will rejoice in that day when they have been manifested.

Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of YAHWEH and the faith of Yahushua.

We can do it through Him!! We can keep Yahweh's commandments and we can have mercy, righteousness and strength in Yahushua:

1John 2:1 - My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yahushua the Messiah the righteous.

1John 2:2 - And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

Without Him you might as well give up, YOU CAN'T DO IT by your own strength alone!

He CAN

If we can only rely on Yahweh to help us overcome, we can look forward to the day…

when we can rest...

Revelation 21:7 - "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his Elohim and he shall be My son.

I know we all long for that day brothers and sisters

Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans 8:39 - Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of YAHWEH, which is in Messiah Yahushua our Saviour.

Therefore, resting on these promises my brothers and sisters.

Let's heed the word of Yahweh which calls us to remember..

Jeremiah 6:16 - Thus saith YAHWEH, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Let us not be among those who say they will not walk therein, but let us be among those who ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein.

In Yahushua we have the victory and mercy we need to do so, if we will only pray….

and trust

and believe

And when we have done what is commanded..

Luke 17:10 - So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

For in the end, we will surely say "in Yahweh have I righteousness and strength." In the end, we will say that Yahweh has done it, all glory to Him!

This is the goal brethren. Yahweh wants us to confess that it is HE who can take us over the Jordan, through a man named Yahushua.

Then we will be like olive trees.. filled with His oil, His Spirit

Psalms 52:8 - But I am like a green olive tree in the house of Elohim: I trust in the mercy of Elohim for ever and ever.

In the end, it will be in Yahweh's mercy that we will have to trust.. and He has an abundance that

Brothers & Sisters.. seekers of Yahweh. Believe it.

Yahweh can do it.

Let's believe Him! May Yahweh bless you and may He have such mercy on us all!!
