Blue is the color of Israel

Read a discussion on wearing of Tallit and Tzit Tzit, regarding the blue dye needed to make these, and the necessity for it to be come from a snail like creature. However the Word of God does not specify this specific dye, only the blue color.
Interesting!

Numbers 15:37-41 – “Adonai said to Moshe, "Speak to the people of Isra'el, instructing them to make, through all their generations, tzitziyot on the corners of their garments, and to put with the tzitzit on each corner a blue thread. It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby remember all of Adonai's mitzvot and obey them, so that you won't go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves; but it will help you remember and obey all my mitzvot and be holy for your G_d. I am Adonai your G_d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your G_d. I am Adonai your G_d.”

I led worship at the opening and closing of a confernece and teaching at North Highlands Assembly of God Church in Columbus GA.

A great facility and a truly anointed teaching that day. I was led to play and sing with some true fire!

This after playing the night before in Atlanta, and a two hour drive mostly in the rain to Columbus.

It was a great day.

Hope to have a DVD to share soon.

A short prayer for you.

Baruch Adonai yom yom ya'amos-lanu ha'El Yeshuateinu.

Blessed be the Lord who daily carries our burden; the God of our salvation.



Remember: the Hebrew name Yeshua....means salvation.

ISRAEL is 62!

Israel is 62 this week and this verse becomes especially important to read.

Isaiah 62

Zion's New Name

¹ For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.

² The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

³ You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

⁴ No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah,
and your land Beulah ;
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.

⁵ As a young man marries a maiden,
so will your sons marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.

⁶ I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD,
give yourselves no rest,

⁷ and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.

⁸ The LORD has sworn by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
"Never again will I give your grain
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;

⁹ but those who harvest it will eat it
and praise the LORD,
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary."

¹⁰ Pass through, pass through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.

¹¹ The LORD has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:
"Say to the Daughter of Zion,
'See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him".

¹² They will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the LORD;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.

AMEN!!

Israel's Independence Day

Yesterday on the Hebrew Calendar marked the anniversary of Israel's statehood.
A day of extreme importance for anyone who believes G-d's word.
The restoration of Israel is so significant in history it is somewhat mind boggling. A country gone from the planet for so many years, people dispoersed throughout the world by tyrants, and after the horrible years of holocaust it rises from the ashes!
When you visit there and see what has been accomplished in what had been a barren and dry land, is awe inspiring.

The impact that Israel has on the world, when it is more or less a "pea" sized nation, shows the power of the Lord in the "apple of his eye".
Much to celebrate in this anniversary, but also much to cautiously be concerned about.


We celebrated with the wonderful violin music of Maurice Sklar...a highly skilled Jewish player, who brought the music of Israel and our Jewish people to Beth Hallel.
The concert was opened with prayer and a Shofar blast. Another great event, following the incredible turn out last week for Yom Hashoa.
