EliYah:
- At this time of the broadcast, we'd normally be taking some phone calls, but it does not look like we're going to be able to do that, due to the power outage we're currently experiencing.
- I'm running the broadcast from an inverter and the battery off one of my vehicles outside. And praise Yahweh, I'm able to do that. I didn't know I was going to be able to, but it looks like we're just under the 300 watts.
- Anyway, we want to do a time here of comments or questions, instead of the telephone. We can do so with the chat room. If anybody has a comment or question about today's broadcast, today's study, or about anything on the website you've read, or just comments or questions overall, we can go ahead and take some time here and go over those together.
- I can share some thoughts, and I'm sure others can, as well, who are in the room, and go from there.
Q. Somebody asked, "What if a person says, 'Are you judging me?'" That would be SteveeB41.
EliYah:
- I'm not really sure of the context of that statement. Maybe you can give me some more information, Steve, and I'd be better able to answer the question. I don't want to miss or not answer correctly, because I don't understand exactly the context of that.
- So give me a little more detailed example and go from there.
Q. MikaYahu said, "The law, our brother." And then he quoted a scripture. "Do open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may come into them." I praise YAH. This one is the gate to Yahweh, the righteous. They come into Him. I pray that you answer me. And you became for me to salvation.
EliYah:
- I don't know what scripture that's quoting, but why does that verse say that when you speak evil of your brother, you're speaking evil of the law and that you are judging the law? How can that be? Are we the law?
- When a person slanders his brother, in whom Yahushua dwells, he slanders the law because Yahushua is the living Torah. He's the living law of Yahweh that dwells in us.
- When we are speaking evil and slandering or speaking evil of our brother, we are slandering the Messiah Himself. Inasmuch as we have done it to the least of the brethren, we've done it to Him. We are destroying the body of the Messiah when we choose to speak evil of one of its members.
- That's why He says in verse 12, there's one lawgiver who's able to save and destroy. Who are you to judge another? When a person murders another person physically, he usurps Yahweh's authority as lawgiver and life-giver, permanently destroying that man's life on the earth.
- When a person murders another person verbally, in the same way, he usurps Yahweh's authority as the lawgiver and setting himself up as a judge of who should be saved and who should be destroyed.
- Rather than doing the law, which forbids slandering and tale-bearing, he becomes one who judges the law and takes the position of lawgiver, choosing who to destroy and who to save.
- We create our own set of rules, our own set of judgments. Yahweh will then judge us by the judgment that we've judged. So we need to avoid that entirely.
- We are the body of the Messiah. When we are slandering each other, we're doing so to Yahushua and, therefore, doing so to the law, because we are the law keepers, supposed to be the law keepers in our generation.
- If we're tearing each other down, then we're bringing reproach upon Yahushua, reproach upon the body of Messiah, reproach upon Yahweh's Torah.
Q. SteveeB41, "EliYah, if a person has been approached in private, then does it again, and is approached by two or three, does it again, is brought by the whole assembly and still continues to do it, each time he says, 'You're judging me.'"
EliYah:
- I think each infraction is supposed to be dealt with individually. If he's been approached in private, did he say he repented? Did he repent? If he did repent, and then he repeats it again, he should still be approached privately on the second infraction, because Yahushua said that if your brother comes to you seven times a day and says, "I repent," then you should forgive him.
- But if he doesn't repent and continues doing it, then you bring two or three, and he still doesn't repent, then you bring him to the whole assembly, and he still doesn't repent, then we should do what Yahushua said. If he doesn't repent, then treat him as an unbeliever.
- The third step can be challenging to do in our age, because the assembly is kind of fragmented. You could kick someone out of one assembly; they'll just go to another one five hours away in the next town over or whatever.
- The assemblies aren't cohesive enough to where we trust each other's judgment, and that causes problems. But we should each still do the best we can to follow what Yahushua said.
Q. William Mary says, "I use Matthew 26:64, which says, 'Siting at the right hand of power,' knowing that Matthew was first written in Hebrew, and the Talmud says it's only blasphemy if you say the name. Has anyone here read Shem Tov or DuTillet Matthew to see if they say Yahweh in that place?"
EliYah:
- I could look at both of them here. Maybe my daughter could get that off the shelf for me, the Shem Tov and DuTillet Hebrew Matthew. While she's doing that, I'll answer Yoshiyah's [phonetic] question.
Q. Record a transcript with the teaching or teachings would be good for one person who is just learning about Elohim.
EliYah:
- Actually, I did respond to that in an email. I don't know why you didn't get it, but try contacting me again, and I'll resend my reply, just to make sure I have your correct email address. I do recall the email.
- I'm looking here at the Shem Tov Matthew, which may or may not have the accurate locations of the sacred name in the text. Here they have the right hand of the power of Elohim in 64. Let me see if I can find that word here in Hebrew, "coming on the clouds of shemayim [phonetic], ha el" Nope, it doesn't show the sacred name here in the Hebrew of Matthew called the Shem Tov.
- Matthew 26:64, I think I looked this up one time. It wasn't there. Yeah, it's not showing in that one either in verse 64. I looked at the Hebrew. There it has Elohim, as well. So neither of them have the sacred name in that particular text.
- Yoshiyah, if you would email me again on that, I did reply to your email. It's possible that I did not have your correct email address. Maybe it was mistyped or something.
- So I would encourage you to send me a second email on that, and I'll forward you my reply. I did rely to it. I'm not sure why you didn't get it. You might also check your spam filter.
Q. How will I drive to work if I can't judge every other driver? Yahweh, give me strength.
EliYah:
- Yeah, driving a vehicle on busy roads can be one of the areas that we get tested the most in the fruits of the Spirit. That's all, Yahweh give us strength.
Q. Do you have that lesson on Elohim in the archive?
EliYah:
- I'm not sure what you mean, "Lesson on Elohim." If you could clarify what you mean by that.
Q. Can we download the service music?
EliYah:
- A lot of the music is copyrighted, and so I can't just give it out, but some of it is available. Kerry Alexander's is available on the internet. Look up his name. Bill Rodgers' music is free on the internet. YAIY.org has some music, as well, that I play. For Sady's music, you just contact AbiYah Selah and you can get her music. AbiYah Family is in the chat room right now.
- I don't have a place for everyone just to download it. There's no one page, although there is a music page at EliYah.com/songs.html.
Q. Chuck has a question about anger. It's somewhat easier to control your actions or reactions when you're angry, but how do you keep from getting angry in the first place?
EliYah:
- I think it's hard to control your actions or reactions when you're angry. Maybe that's what you meant. But how do you keep from getting angry in the first place? There's different things that spark anger in us. Usually, it has to do with self being hurt in some way, if we are hurt, taking something personally.
- For instance, if one of our children do something wrong, if we take it personally, and we take it as a personal affront and offense, we're more likely to be angry.
- But if we look at it in the terms of this is called the sin nature, and this is called the foolishness which needs to be disciplined out of a child, and this is normal, every child has this kind of issue where the foolishness needs to be taken out, then we don't take it personally.
- It's just a part of being a father and guiding children to righteousness to purge out the wrong. It's easier to control anger when we look at it from that perspective.
- If our authority is being questioned, that can be a personal thing where we can get angry about it. If we look at it like this is not really my battle, this is Yahweh's battle--Yahweh, I pray you would--just take it to Yahweh in prayer. This is normal. Children don't want to be under authority. They want to do their own thing.
- In the case of a friend, or relative, or someone else, I think it really helps to look at the big picture--at least it does me. I say the big picture, I mean this person is doing wrong to me.
- This is called the sin nature. This is what we all are faced with having to overcome sin, and this person didn't overcome sin in this area, and so here I am being sinned against. What am I supposed to do about it?
- My anger is not going to solve it. The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of Yahweh. How can I solve the problem? I need Yahweh to be my partner in that. Yahweh's going to have to help me. He can reach the heart where I can't reach. Respond in meekness. Don't do evil for evil.
- Keeping things in perspective, eternal perspective, not just looking around this temporary world we're living in, but keeping an eternal perspective, I think, for myself, helps me a lot.
- There's probably other things. Nothing comes to mind at the moment. You can follow up with a second question, if you like.
Q. Shakara [phonetic] asks, "How does one turn an invitation to sin into an opportunity to love? Any suggestions?"
EliYah:
- Well, just by declining the invitation to sin, we have turned it into an opportunity to love, because we are showing the person that this is not the right thing to do. We want to please our heavenly Father. We can tell them we're not here to condemn them or anything. It's just that our personal convictions from the scriptures are of such I can't participate.
- Sometimes just saying that will invite a question. "Well, what are you talking about?" Maybe they're unbelievers, and they'll say, "I don't understand. Why do you not do that?"
- "Well, the Bible says over here..." You can explain to them. "And that's why I don't do it." And that will probably do more to bring them around than, "Well, I wouldn't do what you're doing, you wicked sinner, you. I'm not going to act like you. What you're doing is offensive to Yahweh."
- So taking it from that angle may help. I'm sure other people have suggestions, as well.
Q. Alexi asks whether there'll be a live service for Pentecost.
EliYah:
- No, there will be no broadcast on Pentecost.
Q. What is the definition of adultery?
EliYah:
- The word "adultery" in the Hebrew represents to have intercourse with someone else's wife or spouse, and that's a little different than the word "zanah." The word here for adultery is "na'aph" in Hebrew. There's different kinds, but basically having relations with a married person or even a betrothed person.
- That would be adultery. And if you're not married to them, and they're married, then that would be adultery.
- If you look into Yahushua's word, that's actually the word "fornication."
- But if you look at it more in-depth, if you are engaging in relations with a person who's not married to you, and even if they are not married, and there is going to be no marriage between you and this other person, then you're basically having relations with a person who is going to be the wife or husband of another.
- It can kind of work in that direction, as well, because what Yahweh's plan was, Adam and Eve, not Adam go around and look elsewhere in addition to Eve.
- Fornication would be relations outside of marriage in some way. When that happens, what does Yahweh say? He commands that marriage takes place. If there's a fornication going on, then the judgment is that there be a marriage. But if there's already a marriage involved, then it's adultery.
- Actually, that's the way things used to be in society, that if a person engaged in fornication, and the woman got pregnant, it was pretty much expected that marriage was going to happen from that point. Nowadays it's not that way. In fact, even Sarah Palin's daughter, there was no marriage when there was supposed to be. I'm not here to judge, but that's what's supposed to happen.
Q. Does intercourse mean you're married to that person, in Yahweh's eyes?
EliYah:
- I don't believe so. I think that it would be having one flesh relationship, but it's not a marriage. The marriage, from what I see in scripture, there's a covenant involved.
Malachi 2:13 - And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of YAHWEH with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive [it] with goodwill from your hands.
Malachi 2:14 - Yet you say, "For what reason?" Because YAHWEH has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant.- There is a covenant involved in a marriage and basically an agreement to be married. I do think marriage is more than just a one flesh relationship. Paul talks about one flesh with a harlot and different things and taking one person being joined to a harlot.
1Corinthians 6:16 - Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."
1Corinthians 6:17 - But he who is joined to the Master is one spirit [with Him].- It's one flesh, but I don't necessarily think that means that's a marriage. I think there also needs to be a covenant. Nowadays, everyone is saying let's live together and find out whether we're compatible and then get married.
Matthew 1:19 - Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.- Joseph was minded to put her away secretly, was ready to divorce her, basically, because of the pregnancy that was involved. So there was a marriage.
Q. Another question from Steve. "Leaving aside the laws of countries, is polygamy scripturally allowed?"
EliYah:
- I think the best way to answer that question would be to read the study I've written on divorce/remarriage. To give you a quick answer is not really particularly easy to do. I'd ask you to read that study. Go to EliYah.com under the Family section on Divorce/Remarriage.
- If you read that study, there's a section there on polygamy. That should answer the question. I do believe that there should never be an instance when a woman is being forced to be with a man who desires a second wife, whether she wants it or not. That should never take place.
- There should always be agreement among all parties involved. That study will answer more thoroughly.
Q. What kind of video games do you think people are allowed to play?
EliYah:
- I can tell you that you definitely don't want to go--if you can to the local store and look in the aisle of video games, right off the bat you can pretty much throw away 90% of it and say it's junk, just absolute junk.
- We should never want to do something in a game that we would not do in real life. In other words, what I'm saying is Yahushua taught us that if a man commits adultery in his heart, then he's basically done it in the eyes of Yahweh.
- We wouldn't want to play a video game that involved murdering another person. If we wouldn't shoot somebody else in real life, then don't do it in a video game. Basically, you've done it in your heart already. A lot of the video games are just blatantly demonic. We don't want to get ourselves involved in those things.
- There are some games which are fairly benign with flight simulators and city building games and some competitive games, sports games and things, which I don't have a problem with, as long as the ideal thing is that you don't have somebody off in the computer by themselves and not interacting with the rest of the world.
- Ideally, the games are done with more than one person, and everyone participating together. It's not everybody is becoming an island. We don't want to do that. Things need to be done in moderation. I think there's a danger in passive entertainment.
- A lot of that is not necessarily video games, but like television. You're sitting back. You're not doing anything. You're just being passively entertained. I think there's something that leads to laziness in that, to being unproductive.
- We're called to redeem the time. When Adam was created, he was created not to sit there and be a bump on a log, but to go do something. We need to be productive people who are doing things that are accomplishing the will of Yahweh and redeem the time.
- We've wasted enough time already in our life. We need to be redeeming the time and making sure we are active in being about our Father's business.
Q. How do you understand 1 Corinthians 6:12? "All things are lawful for me."
EliYah:
1Corinthians 6:12 - All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.- I'm looking up that verse in context. I'm familiar with it. I'm just trying to remember how I had resolved that in my mind. We know not everything is lawful. That's pretty much clear.
1Corinthians 6:13 - Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but Elohim will destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for sexual immorality but for YAHWEH, and YAHWEH for the body.- The ISR version, "All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted me, but I shall not be under the authority of any. Foods for the stomach, stomach for foods, but Elohim shall destroy both it and them."
Q. What is the scripture reference for the fornicating people to marry?
EliYah:
- That would be found in the Torah. Let me find it for you.
Exodus 22:16 - "If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her [to be] his wife.
Exodus 22:17 - "If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.- They should marry, unless the father says no.
Q. Alexi asks a question. "This was many years ago when we were both not believers, but for many years have become a believer. There is a fine line whether I can remarry."
EliYah:
- If you were a believer married to a believer, and you divorced, and you're both still believers, you need to get back together.
- If you're an unbeliever married to a believer or married to an unbeliever, I don't believe that you've ever engaged in a scriptural marriage, and so marriage would be permissible, and the point of marriage being companionship and producing the seed of Elohim.
- The study on divorce/remarriage on the website under the family section goes into the reasons why I've come to those conclusions.
- I don't believe adultery, in and of itself, when there's two believers who are married and one commits adultery, I don't believe that should cancel the marriage or create a divorce situation. As long as both are believers, there should be repentance, and there should be accountability, of course, and there should be forgiveness. Between believers, we're called to forgive each other.
Q. Yoshiyah asks the question, "In Acts, James and the elders told the Gentiles coming to Messiah to avoid things offered to idols. Was this in the Torah?"
EliYah:
- Actually, it was. Midianite women, in the book of Numbers, chapter 25, verses 1-2:
Numbers 25:1 - Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.
Numbers 25:2 - They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.- What are they eating? They're eating food offered to idols. Yahweh was obviously not pleased with that. By that, it says Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of Yahweh was aroused against Israel.
Numbers 25:3 - So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of YAHWEH was aroused against Israel.
Numbers 25:4 - Then YAHWEH said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before YAHWEH, out in the sun, that the fierce anger of YAHWEH may turn away from Israel."- That was definitely a forbidden thing. What was specifically forbidden was this thing. When you're being invited to a sacrifice, and you're partaking in the food that was offered to this idol, it's actually considered to be a fellowship meal with that idol. You're joining yourself to that idol.
Exodus 24:9 - Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
Exodus 24:10 - and they saw the Elohim of Israel. And [there was] under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in [its] clarity.
Exodus 24:11 - But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.- There was a fellowship meal.
Exodus 24:12 - Then YAHWEH said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them."- That was their covenant they entered into with Yahweh. After the covenant was done, they went and actually ate and drank in the presence of the Elohim of Israel.
Q. From Faxchase, "What about when Yahweh made His prophet get married to a harlot? Didn't Yahweh see that as a marriage?"
EliYah:
- Yes, and it was an illustration of what Yahweh had been experiencing with Israel. Eventually, he did divorce Israel. I think that was all the questions. If I missed one, you may have to repeat.
- Some very good questions. I certainly don't have all the answers to everything. I might have some. This is what I see at this point.
Q. Brother Ron says, "What are your thoughts of factoring in the stars as a part of factoring in the seasons, helping with the date and yearly calendar?"
EliYah:
- I do know there are some believers who believe when the sun is in Aries, then it's time to start the new year. But the problem would be, actually, in the last 4,000 years, there has been enough rotation in the heavenlies to where the new year that would have worked.
- The research I did indicated that the stars, the sun was in Aries at one time that would have represented the spring, but now it may not. There's something about the stars themselves and their positioning certain times of the year. It's movable, and it moves. Over 4,000 years, 5,000 years it can be in a different position in the springtime than what we have today.
- It seemed like it was not a reliable thing. As far as I know, there's no historical records or scriptural records of how the stars would be involved.
Q. Yoshiyah asks, "Would you consider meats that Islamic people eat bad for us, as believers, to eat in the sense of meat offered to idols."
EliYah:
- If they believed they were sitting down and having a fellowship meal with Allah, I would not join in. That's what I would say. I'll leave it at that.
- I do want to mention that the chat room now has a different feature. If I could have your attention, come to the chat room, if you're not there already. A lot of times people like to fellowship here during the week.
- Currently, I have several scriptural versions that Watchman can quote for you in the chat room. The first one would be almost entirely the King James version, but it's also the New King James in some areas. It's what I've been using for many years.
- There are some verbiages and things in the King James that some people have a really hard time with, and the New King James is very much like the King James. It clears up some of those old English phrases and things and some of the vocabulary that's not the same as what we have today in our language.
- I'm now offering the New King James version, where you quote what is most likely the King James. You put a plus sign and then Genesis 1 1, and that is the King James version. If you put a minus sign, Genesis 1 1, that is the New King James.
- Then if you like to do a more healthy examination into the Hebrew, if you put the little carat sign, and that's the shift key and press the number 6 on your keyboard, Genesis 1 1, then it'll give you the Strong's word number for each English word.
- Let's say I wanted to know what the Strong's word, what the Hebrew said for the word "beginning." It's Hebrew word 7225. I put !H7225 in the chat room, and Watchman will quote the Strong's Lexicon and what that word is defined as in the Hebrew Lexicon.
- You can actually do word studies here in the chat room using that and get more in-depth. A lot of times we get into in-depth discussions and reasoning together in the scriptures here in the chat room during the week and even on Shabbat, and that makes it possible for us to get more in-depth.
- You can also do the same in the New Testament, Matthew 1:21.
Matthew 1:21 - "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."- Use a carat ^ sign there, and the word "son" is 5207. Look that up, put !G5207 for Greek. It tells you the Strong's Lexicon meaning of 5207. You can look up different words that way in the Strong's Lexicon. It's a little faster than flipping through the pages by hand.
EliYah:
- Indeed it is. HalleluYah. Blessed be Yahweh. Some other questions came through while we were collecting prayer requests. There was one that came in just before I was ready to share some songs from the library.
Q. Light was the first thing created before the sun. Couldn't that light have been Messiah, since Messiah was the first of the Father's creation?
EliYah:
- I don't believe it was personally. It says He called the light day, and so it doesn't seem like it really would fit quite there. Maybe before that point at some point. The verse in question, "the firstborn of His creation," could be in reference to the resurrection.
- He was the firstfruits to be raised from the dead. He's the first. I understand there are some who believe that, but there's not anything really clear I can pull out of the scriptures to draw that conclusion 100%.
Q. Who was doing this song and where to get it?
EliYah:
- That was the Fournier family. I would like to put their songs on the website. I know they have a CD they're working on that's not quite finished. I think I would like to ask them if I can do that. I really enjoy their music.
Q. Why don't you ask for donations? Are you wealthy and don't need them? Please comment on that.
EliYah:
- No, I'm not wealthy, but I don't ask for donations. I'd take a donation if somebody gave it to me, but I don't ask. I personally have a very strong distaste for the mixture of money and ministry. I don't put any emphasis on needing donations for this and donations for that.
- I don't want the stumbling block in my life of getting filthy lucre involved in anything to do with what I teach. One time, somebody sent a pretty good-sized donation to EliYah.com. I don't ever put my hand in it myself. If someone sends a donation to EliYah.com, I don't ever use that for personal use. That goes to the ministry.
- There are expenses, phone lines and different things, the feast days that we do, and gatherings and things. There are expenses involved in those areas, and that's where it goes.
- But one time, somebody submitted a donation, and after they sent the donation--this was many years ago, maybe ten years ago or something--they asked me to share a study on a particular topic presented in a certain way.
- Just for a moment, I felt obligated that I should do what they told me to do, because they contributed money to the ministry. But I caught myself, and I realized this is a danger that I think a lot of pastors of churches fall into is feeling more obligated to the man with the wealthy clothes walking in the assembly, and to serving him, than the poor man.
- Just because they walk in with gold rings and fine apparel, and they're the big contributor to the assembly or whatever, what's that got to do with how they're treated.
- So I don't want that trap in my walk. I just want to let Yahweh's Spirit lead what I feel led by Him to share and not let he with the most money decide what I teach.
- I really don't like the mentality of a lot of ministries that you can't get anything done without money. I do believe Yahweh can provide. If He wants to establish the ministry, He'll provide. We don't have to pressure anybody to give anything.
- I don't ask for donations. If somebody does send something, then it does get used. I think it's very important for me to be responsible for that. If somebody sends me a personal gift, not for the ministry, but something personal, of course, I'll take it.
- If somebody is giving to EliYah.com, if I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be for me or for the ministry, it always goes to the ministry. That's what I've done with that.
Q. Have you thought of started a community?
EliYah:
- No. It's been in my heart to maybe one day Yahweh will establish one where all the brothers and sisters can dwell together, and I think that's a beautiful thing. But I think Yahweh has to do it.
- He's not leading me right now to do it. If He leads someone to do it, then if He leads me to be with them, then I'll go. But at this point, I think everyone almost I've met, who are believers, had a desire for that.
- I think that's a holy desire, and that's really what we're going to have when we go to the kingdom of Yahweh. That's the blessing of it. But sometimes when communities get started, there is a tendency to focus inwardly and about building the community. That's where everybody's focus is.
- Everybody kind of loses focus about outreach and going outward to fulfill the Great Commission. Everyone starts looking inward, and fighting starts, and there's a lot of dangers there.
- I'm all for community, if Yahweh builds the house, if you know what I mean, but He has to build it.
Q. On YahSpace, there are some in Africa in need of money. Is it legitimate?
EliYah:
- I think I have an account on YahSpace, but I haven't been there in months. I don't know. I would say be very, very careful.
Q. What is your understanding of Luke 21:32?
EliYah:
Luke 21:32 - "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.- I'm not the expert on prophecy and all these things, but it would seem to be a contradiction, because there are lots of things that didn't take place in Yahushua's generation that He spoke of here.
Luke 21:9 - "But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end [will] not [come] immediately."- It will happen in that generation. That's where I'm at on that particular verse. It doesn't necessarily refer to the generation Yahushua was living in.
EliYah:
- Amein. Yahweh bless you and fill you with His Ruach HaKodesh, as you go once more into the work week ahead and the remainder of this Shabbat.
- I enjoy the time with you all. Hopefully, next time we'll get some phone calls in and some more fellowship, Yahweh willing, however He leads.
- Shabbat Shalom to your homes.
