\nUse of the Tanakh in the B\u2019rit Hadashah
\nThroughout this book, you will notice passages in bold letters.
\nThey indicate phrases or verses in the B\u2019rit Hadashah (New Testament) that are from the Tanakh. The word Tanakh is an acronym for Torah (Pentateuch), Nevi\u2019im (Prophets), and K\u2019tuvim (Writings), commonly known as the \u201cOld Testament.\u201d
\nIntroduction
\nDaniel Juster, Th.D.
\nOur relationship with God is the most important relationship of our life. Through this relationship, the reality of God\u2019s love, life, forgiveness, and power enter our life. As Paul wrote in Philippians 3:8, everything else pales in comparison with knowing God!
\nBut how do we know God? We know God through his son Yeshua (Jesus). As the Scriptures clearly state, \u201cThere is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by whom we must be saved\u201d (Acts 4:12). This verse speaks of the wonderful salvation offered through Yeshua. But it also gives us a clue to the sometimes mysterious process of knowing God. For this passage clearly identifies the person Yeshua with the name Yeshua.
\nHow expressive of Hebrew thought! A name was not just a way of identifying a person; it was a way of revealing their very identity. It is the same with the names of God, only in the Scriptures; God\u2019s identity is expressed not in one name, but in many. Each name of God is like a curtained window. Draw back the curtain and the light will flood in, giving us glimpses of his infinite glory.
\nAn example of this can be found in Exodus 3:13\u201322. Moses asks God what his \u201cname\u201d is. Was he just asking what he should call God? No\u2014he was asking, \u201cWho are you? Describe yourself.\u201d God\u2019s response tells us this: God doesn\u2019t just say \u201cI\u2019m God.\u201d He explains that he is eternal, he is the God of the Jewish people, a God of compassion who has taken notice of Israel\u2019s captivity and will free them. Moses asked for a name. He was given an expression of God\u2019s essence, his compassion, and his desire to free his people.
\nIn Jewish tradition, the many names of God are ways to express different aspects of God\u2019s presence and activity in the world. Draw back the curtain and now we see not only his glories, but even the darker corners of life are also illumined. We can see that God is at work there, too. For example, one of the traditional names of God is El Rachum (Merciful God). This doesn\u2019t merely tell us something about who God is in himself, but how he feels and acts toward us! Even when God acts in his holiness, we can be assured that his heart is stirred with sympathy and kindness toward us.
\nAs we read through the Bible, we come across new names and attributes of God and\u2014if only we pause and \u201ctarry there awhile\u201d\u2014we will learn something fresh and marvelous about him. But also, as we read the Scriptures, we encounter some of the same names and phrases used to describe God repeatedly. And as we draw back the curtain once again, they are filled with new and deeper meaning.
\nHow often we read a passage such as Psalm 83:19, \u201cYou alone, whose name is Adonai, are the Most High over all the earth\u201d without pausing, without taking a few moments to meditate on the wonderful name of God mentioned in the verse (see p. 12). Let the authors help you open that curtain. These windows to God\u2014God\u2019s many names\u2014lie \u201chidden in plain sight,\u201d scattered thickly throughout God\u2019s word.
\nYou have in your hands a valuable book of scriptural meditations on the names of God. Savor each one. These pages have the dynamic potential to change the way you think about God, the way you pray, and the way you live. His names are wonderful!
\nAbout the Tetragrammaton and the Use of the Name Adonai
\nThe authors have chosen not to use, what is perhaps, the most profound name of God, spelled in Hebrew yud-hey-vav-hey, also called the Tetragrammaton. This is considered to be the holiest name of God, reflecting God\u2019s essence in a way that no other name does. Because of its holiness, this name is no longer even pronounced by Jewish people today. We do not even know for sure how it would be pronounced. But the reason that a meditation on the Tetragrammaton does not appear in this book is because it would require a book all to itself, a book that would include meditation after meditation.
\nThe same understanding applies to the name \u201cAdonai,\u201d (normally translated Lord, with small capital letters, but shown in this book as \u201cLord\u201d). This name only appears in this volume in conjunction with other words, such as \u201cLord God of the Hebrews\u201d and \u201cThe Lord of Victory.\u201d

\nGod has exalted Yeshua at his right hand and he rules over all creation. He exercises supreme authority over us, and governs every situation of our lives with power and strength. We are in good hands.
\nEnthroned One
\nYoshev \u05d9\u05b9\u05e9\u05b5\u05c1\u05d1
\n1 Kings 22:19
\n\u201c\u2026 I saw Adonai sitting on his throne with the whole army of heaven standing by him on his right and on his left.\u201d
\nIsaiah 6:1
\nIn the year of King \u2018Uziyahu\u2019s [Uzziah\u2019s] death I saw Adonai sitting on a high, lofty throne! The hem of his robe filled the temple.
\nPsalm 22:4
\nNevertheless, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Isra\u2019el.
\nRevelation 4:2\u20133, 9\u201310
\n\u2026 and there before me in heaven stood a throne, and on the throne Someone was sitting. The One sitting there gleamed like diamonds and rubies, and a rainbow shining like emerald encircled the throne.
\nAnd whenever the living beings give glory, honor and thanks to the One sitting on the throne, to the One who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before the One sitting on the throne, who lives forever and ever, and worship him \u2026.
\nWhen we come before the one who is sitting on the throne in all of his glory and majesty, and we see him face to face, we will fall down before him and worship him. For who can stand before the Lord our God?
\nThe Lord is One
\nAdonai Echad \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3
\nDeuteronomy 6:4\u20135
\n\u201cSh\u2019ma, YIsra\u2019el! Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Isra\u2019el! Adonai our God, Adonai is one]; and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources.\u201d
\nMark 12:28\u201330
\nOne of the Torah-teachers* came up and heard them engaged in this discussion. Seeing that Yeshua answered them well, he asked him, \u201cWhich is the most important mitzvah [commandment] of them all?\u201d Yeshua answered, \u201cThe most important is,
\n\u2018Sh\u2019ma YIsra\u2019el, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, O Isra\u2019el, the Lord our God, the Lord is one], and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding and with all your strength.\u2019 \u201d
\nLord, there is no other God besides you. Only you are my God, and you are all I need.
\nKing of the Nations

\nJeremiah 10:6\u20137
\nThere is no one like you, Adonai!
\nYou are great, and your name is great and mighty.
\nWho would not fear you, king of the nations?
\nFor it is your due!\u2014since among all the wise of the nations and among all their royalty,
\nthere is no one like you.
\nPsalm 22:29
\nFor the kingdom belongs to Adonai, and he rules the nations.
\nRevelation 15:2\u20134
\nI saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Those defeating the beast, its image and the number of its name were standing by the sea of glass, holding harps which God had given them. They were singing the song of Moshe [Moses], the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
\n\u201cGreat and wonderful are the things you have
\ndone, Adonai, God of heaven\u2019s armies!
\nJust and true are your ways,
\nking of the nations!
\nAdonai, who will not fear and glorify your
\nname? because you alone are holy.
\nAll nations will come and worship before you,
\nfor your righteous deeds have been revealed.\u201d
\nThere is one ruler over all the nations, and he reigns supreme. His government is incorruptible and without equal. His kingdom includes people from every nation. What a wonderful kingdom to be a part of!
\nTrue God
\nElohim Emet \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b6\u05ea
\nJeremiah 10:10
\nBut Adonai, God, is the true God, the living God, the everlasting king.
\n2 Chronicles 15:3\u20134
\n\u201cFor a long time Isra\u2019el was without the true God, without a cohen [priest] who could teach, and without Torah [teaching]. But when, in their distress, they turned to Adonai the God of Isra\u2019el and sought him, they found him.\u201d
\nJohn 17:1\u20133
\nAfter Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, \u201cFather, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you\u2014just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him. And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.\u201d
\nA time will come when someone who is not God will proclaim to be God. The only way we will recognize this deception is by knowing the true God. My one true God, help me to recognize the idols in my life that I let take your place.
\nGreat God
\nEl Gadol \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d2\u05b8\u05bc\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc
\nPsalm 95:3
\nFor Adonai is a great God, a great king greater than all gods.
\nNehemiah 8:6
\n\u2018Ezra blessed Adonai, the great God; and all the people answered, \u201cAmen! Amen!\u201d as they lifted up their hands, bowed their heads and fell prostrate before Adonai with their faces to the ground.
\n2 Samuel 7:22
\n\u201cTherefore, you are great, Adonai, God; for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you\u2014everything we have heard confirms that.\u201d
\nTitus 2:12\u201313
\nIt teaches us to renounce godlessness and worldly pleasures, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives now, in this age; while continuing to expect the blessed fulfillment of our certain hope, which is the appearing of the Sh\u2019khinah [Divine Presence] of our great God and the appearing of our Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah.
\nOur God is eminent, without comparison, and most excellent. To worship such a great God, we need to bring him the best of what we have and who we are.

\nMatthew 6:8\u201310
\n\u201cDon\u2019t be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him. You, therefore, pray like this:

\nMay your Name be kept holy.
\nMay your Kingdom come,
\nyour will be done on earth as in heaven.\u2019 \u201d
\nRomans 8:14\u201316
\nAll who are led by God\u2019s Spirit are God\u2019s sons. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to bring you back again into fear; on the contrary, you received the Spirit, who makes us sons and by whose power we cry out, \u201cAbba!\u201d (that is, \u201cDear Father!\u201d). The Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God.
\nThe relationship we have with our Father is one of intimacy and familiarity, awe and respect, obedience and delight. Our Father loves to hear us call his name. He takes great delight in us and when we are troubled, he will quiet us with his loving arms. What a privilege it is to be a child of God!

\nLet everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The lord is near!
\nJames 4:8
\nCome close to God, and he will come close to you.\u2026

\n2 Samuel 22:7, 22\u201323
\n\u201cIn my distress I called to Adonai;
\nyes, I called to my God.
\nOut of his temple he heard my voice,
\nand my cry entered his ears.\u201d
\n\u201cFor I have kept the ways of Adonai,
\nI have not done evil by leaving my God;
\nfor all his rulings were before me,
\nI did not depart from his regulations.\u201d

\nThen I will go to the altar of God,

\nfor wherever you go, I will go;
\nand wherever you stay, I will stay.
\nYour people will be my people
\nand your God will be my God.\u201d
\nWe must leave everything to follow God. Putting the past behind us, we must determine to focus on him, the One who is our supreme joy and delight.

\nWho is a God like you,
\npardoning the sin and overlooking the crimes of the remnant of his heritage?
\nHe does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in grace.
\nPsalm 99:8
\nAdonai our God, you answered them.
\nTo them you were a forgiving God, although you took vengeance on their wrongdoings.
\nMatthew 26:28
\n\u201cFor this is my blood, which ratifies the New Covenant, my blood shed on behalf of many, so that they may have their sins forgiven.\u201d
\nEphesians 1:7\u20138
\nIn union with him, through the shedding of his blood, we are set free\u2014our sins are forgiven; this accords with the wealth of the grace he has lavished on us.\u2026
\nAre you stuck, making one wrong choice after another, feeling trapped and condemned? Turn your heart to our forgiving God. Repent, and you will be forgiven.

\nAvraham planted a tamarisk tree in Be\u2019er-Sheva [Beersheba], and there he called on the name of Adonai, the everlasting God.
\nIsaiah 40:28
\nHaven\u2019t you known, haven\u2019t you heard

\nHis understanding cannot be fathomed.
\nRomans 16:25\u201327
\nNow to God, who can strengthen you, according to my Good News, in harmony with the revelation of the secret truth which is the proclamation of Yeshua the Messiah, kept hidden in silence for ages and ages, but manifested now through prophetic writings, in keeping with the command of God the Eternal, and communicated to all the Gentiles to promote in them trust-grounded obedience\u2014to the only wise God, through Yeshua the Messiah, be the glory forever and ever!
\nAmen.
\nGod, you are without beginning or end. You have existed through all time. You are forever the same, unchanging, infinite, boundless, without measure, and limitless. I find peace in knowing that you are my \u201cforever\u201d God.

\nPsalm 139:13\u201316
\nFor you fashioned my inmost being,

\nI thank you because I am awesomely made,
\nwonderfully; your works are wonders\u2014
\nI know this very well.
\nMy bones were not hidden from you
\nwhen I was being made in secret,
\nintricately woven in the depths of the earth.
\nYour eyes could see me as an embryo,
\nbut in your book all my days were already written;
\nmy days had been shaped
\nbefore any of them existed.
\nWhile you were still in your mother\u2019s womb, God was forming you into the exact person wanted you to be. God had a plan and purpose for you before you even existed. Therefore, strive to be all that he wants you to be. Rejoice who you are and who you will become with his help.

\nEphesians 3:8\u201310
\nTo me, the least important of all God\u2019s holy people, was given this privilege of announcing to the Gentiles the Good News of the Messiah\u2019s unfathomable riches, and of letting everyone see how this secret plan is going to work out. This plan, kept hidden for ages by God, the Creator of everything, is for the rulers and authorities in heaven to learn, through the existence of the Messianic Community, how many-sided God\u2019s wisdom is.
\nThe glory of God is all around us in his creation\u2014in a golden sunrise, a beautiful pink rose, and a turquoise blue sky. Everything he made has beauty all its own. Give thanks to God, the master designer.

\nExodus 34:6\u20137
\nAdonai passed before him and proclaimed: \u201cYUD-HEH-VAV-HEHL!!! yud-heh-vav-heh [Adonai] is God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace and truth; showing grace to the thousandth generation, forgiving offenses, crimes and sins \u2026\u201d
\nJoel 2:13
\nTear your heart, not your garments; and turn to Adonai your God. For he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace, and willing to change his mind about disaster.
\nJonah 4:2
\nHe prayed to Adonai, \u201cNow, Adonai, didn\u2019t I say this would happen, when I was still in my own country? That\u2019s why I tried to get away to Tarshish ahead of time! I Knew you were a God who is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in grace, and that you relent from inflicting punishment.\u201d
\nMatthew 9:36
\nWhen he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
\nGod, your deep sorrow and sympathy for my sufferings and troubles strengthen my resolve to press through. You bless me with perseverance and vigor so I can reach my goal.
\nGod of Kindness
\nEl Hesed \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d7\u05b6\u05e1\u05b6\u05d3
\nPsalm 86:4\u20137
\nFill your servant\u2019s heart with joy, for to you, Adonai, I lift my heart. Adonai, you are kind and forgiving, full of grace toward all who call on you. Listen, Adonai, to my prayer; pay attention to my pleading cry. On the day of my trouble I am calling on you, for you will answer me.
\n2 Samuel 2:6
\n\u201cNow may Adonai show kindness and truth to you; and I too will show you favor because you have done this.\u201d
\nEphesians 2:6\u20137
\nThat is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.
\nTitus 3:4\u20135
\nBut when the kindness and love for mankind of God our Deliverer was revealed, he delivered us. It was not on the ground of any righteous deeds we had done, but on the ground of his own mercy.\u2026
\nKindness and compassion go hand in hand. When someone gives of themselves on your behalf doesn\u2019t it bless you? When someone reaches out to you in your in your difficulty doesn\u2019t it strengthen your? God\u2019s care for us comes through many people and in many ways. Who can you touch with his kindness today?
\nGod of Love
\nEl Ahavah \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d0\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05d1\u05b8\u05d4
\nDeuteronomy 23:6
\n\u201cBut Adonai your God would not listen to Bil\u2018am [Balaam]; rather, Adonai your God turned the curse into a blessing for you; because Adonai your God loved you.\u201d
\nRomans 8:37\u201339
\nNo, in all these things we are superconquerors, through the one who has loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers, neither what exists nor what is coming, neither powers above nor powers below, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which comes to us through the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.
\n1 John 4:8\u201310
\nThose who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah [atonement] for our sins.
\nNothing can separate us from the perfect love that our God has for us. This love is unlike any other we have ever known. Because of God\u2019s great love for us, we can love others.

\nFor a child is born to us, a son is given to us; dominion will rest on his shoulders, and he will be given the name Pele-Yo\u2018etz El Gibbor Avi-\u2018Ad Sar-Shalom [Wonder of a Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace].
\nJeremiah 10:10
\nBut Adonai, God, is the true God, the living God, the everlasting king.\u2026
\nPsalm 41:14
\nBlessed be Adonai the God of Isra\u2019el from eternity past to eternity future.
\nJohn 14:2\u20133
\n\u201cIn my Father\u2019s house are many places to live. If there weren\u2019t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also\u201d.
\nEternity, what a mind-boggling concept! It is beyond our comprehension. Our God existed before time began and we can live forever with him. Halleluyah!

\n\u201cMoreover, it will serve you as a sign on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that Adonai\u2019s Torah [teaching] may be on your lips; because with a strong hand Adonai brought you out of Egypt.\u201d
\nNumbers 19:2
\nAdonai said to Moshe [Moses] and Aharon [Aaron], \u201cThis is the regulation from the Torah which Adonai has commanded.\u201d
\nMicah 4:2
\n\u2026 For out of Tziyon [Zion] will go forth Torah, the word of Adonai from Yerushalayim*.
\n1 Chronicles 16:39\u201340
\nHe left Tzadok [Zadok] the cohen [priest] with his kinsmen before the tabernacle of Adonai at the high place in Giv\u2018on [Gibeon] to offer burnt offerings to Adonai every morning and evening on the altar for burnt offerings, according to everything written in the Torah of Adonai, which he gave to Isra\u2019el.
\nJames 4:12
\nThere is but one Giver of Torah; he is also the Judge, with the power to deliver and to destroy.\u2026
\nGod gave us instructions for righteous living so we could learn to follow his ways and walk in reverence before him. His teaching is perfect and true, a guide for our lives.
\nThe Lord Who Hears
\nAdonai Yishma \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05de\u05b7\u05e2
\nIsaiah 30:19
\nPeople in Tziyon [Zion], who live in Yerushalayim [Jerusalem], you will weep no more. At the sound of your cry, he will show you his grace; on hearing it, he will answer you.
\nPsalm 4:4
\nUnderstand that Adonai sets apart the godly person for himself; Adonai will hear when I call to him.
\nPsalm 34:16, 18
\nThe eyes of Adonai watch over the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.
\n[The righteous] cried out, and Adonai heard, and he saved them from all their troubles.
\n1 John 5:14\u201315
\nThis is the confidence we have in his presence: if we ask anything that accords with his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us\u2014whatever we ask\u2014then we know that we have what we have asked from him.
\nTalk! Talk! Talk! We all need to be heard. We each have a contribution to make, a thought, an idea, an opinion. God knows what we are going to say even before it is on our lips. And, no matter how much we have to say, he never gets tired of listening to us!
\nGod Who Sees
\nEl Ro\u2019i \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e8\u05b3\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9
\nGenesis 16:13
\nSo he named Adonai who had spoken, with her El Ro\u2019i [God seeing], because she said, \u201cHave I really seen the One sees me [and stayed alive]?\u201d
\nPsalm 33:13\u201315, 18
\nAdonai looks out from heaven; he sees every human being; from the place where he lives he watches everyone living on earth, he who fashioned the hearts of them all and understands all they do.
\nBut Adonai\u2019s eyes watch over those who fear him, over those who wait for his grace.
\nGod sees everything that happens in our lives. In the midst of affliction, God sees us. He does not merely watch us struggle from afar; he comes to us, touches our spirits, and gives us strength to endure the trials of life.
\nThe Lord Our Maker

\nGenesis 1:26, 27
\nThen God said, \u201cLet us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves \u2026\u201d
\nSo God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.
\nPsalm 95:6

\n\u2026 Ya\u2018akov [Jacob] arrived safely at the city of Sh\u2019khem [Shechem], in Kena\u2018an [Canaan], and set up camp near the city. From the sons of Hamor Sh\u2019khem\u2019s father he bought for one hundred pieces of silver the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent. There he put up an altar, which he called El-Elohei-YIsra\u2019el [God, the God of Isra\u2019el].
\nJudges 5:5
\n\u201cThe mountains melted at the presence of Adonai, at Sinai, before Adonai the God of Isra\u2019el.\u201d
\nPsalm 68:36
\nHow awe-inspiring you are, God, from your holy places, the God of Isra\u2019el, who gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!
\nMatthew 15:31
\nThe people were amazed as they saw mute people speaking, crippled people cured, lame people walking and blind people seeing; and they said a b\u2019rakhah [blessing] to the God of Isra\u2019el.
\nAwesome God, thank you for revealing yourself to your people, Isra\u2019el. Thank you for continuing to reveal yourself to all who call upon your name.
\nThe Lord Our Father

\nIsaiah 64:7
\nBut now, Adonai, you are our father; we are the clay, you are our potter; and we are all the work of your hands.
\nPsalm 68:6
\nGod in his holy dwelling, is a father to orphans and defender of widows.
\nProverbs 3:11\u201312
\nMy son, don\u2019t despise Adonai\u2019s discipline or resent his reproof; for Adonai corrects those he loves like a father who delights in his son
\n1 Corinthians 8:6
\n\u2026 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom were created all things and through whom we have our being.
\n2 John 3
\nGrace, mercy and shalom [peace] will be with us from God the Father and from Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
\nGod, you have cared for us, your children, as a loving father, providing discipline, direction, and encouragement. When earthly fathers fail us, you remain steadfast, molding us with you everlasting love.

They were at the tomb early and couldn\u2019t find his body, so they came back; but they also reported that they had seen a vision of angels who say he\u2019s alive! Some of our friends went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said, but they didn\u2019t see him.\u201d
\nTitus 2:14
\nHe gave himself up on our behalf in order to free us from all violation of Torah [teaching] and Purify for himself a people who would be his own, eager to do good.
\nHave you ever given up something of great value because of your love for someone? Yeshua gave his life for us so that we could live for him. No one loves more than our Redeemer!

\nJohn 1:41\u201342
\nThe first thing he did was to find his brother Shim\u2018on [Simon] and tell him, \u201cWe\u2019ve found the Mashiach!\u201d He took him to Yeshua.\u2026
\nActs 10:37\u201338
\nYou know what has been going on throughout Y\u2019hudah [Judah], starting from the Galil [Galilee] after the immersion that Yochanan [ John] proclaimed; how God anointed Yeshua from Natzeret [Nazereth] with the Ruach HaKodesh [Holy Spirit] and with power; how Yeshua went about doing good and healing all the people oppressed by the Adversary, because God was with him.
\nHow marvelous are God\u2019s ways! At the exact time of God\u2019s choosing, Messiah the Prince, the Son of David was revealed. God, thank you for sending Yeshua, your anointed one, and revealing yourself to me.
\nRoot

\nOn that day the root of Yishai [Jesse], which stands as a banner for the peoples\u2014the Goyim [nations] will seek him out, and the place where he rests will be glorious.
\nRomans 15:12
\nAnd again, Yesha\u2018yahu [Isaiah] says, \u201cThe root of Yishai will come, he who arises to rule Gentiles; Gentiles will put their hope in him.\u201d
\nRevelation 5:5
\nOne of the elders said to me, \u201cDon\u2019t cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Y\u2019hudah [Judah], the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.\u201d
\nRevelation 22:16
\n\u201c\u2026 I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.\u201d

\nIsaiah 53:3\u20135
\nPeople despised and avoided him, a man of pains, well acquainted with illness. Like someone from whom people turn their faces, he was despised; we did not value him.
\nIn fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by God. But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises we are healed.
\nIsaiah 53:11
\nAfter this ordeal, he will see satisfaction. \u201cBy his knowing [pain and sacrifice], my righteous servant makes many righteous; it is for their sins that he suffers.\u201d
\nMatthew 26:36\u201339
\nThen Yeshua went with his talmidim [disciples] to a place called Gat-Sh\u2019manim [Gethsemane]\u2026 Grief and anguish came over him, and he said to them, \u201cMy heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake with me.\u201d Going on a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, \u201cMy Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet\u2014not what I want, but what you want!\u201d
\nWith gratitude, I think of the anguish and suffering that Yeshua chose to endure for me. Therefore, in the midst of life\u2019s trials, let us eagerly say to God, \u201cnot what I want, but what you want,\u201d as he did.
\nPrince of Peace

\nPhilippians 4:6\u20139
\nDon\u2019t worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God\u2019s shalom\u201a passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua. In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy. Keep doing what you have learned and received from me, what you have heard and seen me doing; then the God who gives shalom will be with you.
\n1 Thessalonains 5:23
\nMay the God of shalom make you completely holy\u2014may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
\n\u201cI am stressed to the max!\u201d Have you ever made that statement? God didn\u2019t intend for us to live like that. When we submit to God, his peace will rule our hearts.
\nGod\u2019s Lamb

\nIsaiah 53:6\u20137
\nWe all, like sheep, went astray; we turned, each one, to his own way; yet Adonai laid on him the guilt of all of us. Though mistreated, he was submissive\u2014he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to be slaughtered, like a sheep silent before its shearers, he did not open his mouth.
\nJohn 1:29
\nThe next day, Yochanan [John] saw Yeshua coming toward him and said, \u201cLook! God\u2019s lamb! The one who is taking away the sin of the world!\u201d
\nRevelation 5:13
\nAnd l heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth and on the sea\u2014yes, everything in them\u2014saying,
\n\u201cTo the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb belong praise, honor, glory and power forever and ever!\u201d
\nThe lambs used for offerings in the tabernacle and temple were without spot or blemish. They provided atonement for the sins of the people. Thank you God, for sending Yeshua the Lamb, who took our sins on himself so we could be forgiven.
\nOur Passover
\nPischeynu \u05e4\u05b4\u05bc\u05e1\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc
\nExodus 12:21\u201322, 26\u201327
\nThen Moshe [Moses] called for all the leaders of Isra\u2019el and said, \u201cSelect and take lambs for your families, and slaughter the Pesach [Passover] lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop leaves and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and smear it on the two sides and top of the door-frame. Then, none of you is to go out the door of his house until morning.\u201d
\n\u201cWhen your children ask you, \u2018What do you mean by this ceremony?\u2019 say, \u2018It is the sacrifice of Adonai\u2019s Pesach, because [Adonai] passed over the houses of the people of Isra\u2019el in Egypt, when he killed the Egyptians but spared our houses.\u2019 \u201d
\n1 Corinthians 5:7\u20138
\nGet rid of the old hametz [leaven], so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened. For our Pesach lamb, the Messiah, has been sacrificed. So let us celebrate the Seder* not with leftover hametz, the hametz of wickedness and evil, but with the matzah [unleavened bread] of purity and truth.
\nIn Egypt, the Israelites put the blood of a spotless lamb on the doorposts of their homes and the spirit of death passed over them. The Messiah is our Passover Lamb. Throught his blood, we pass from death to life.
\nMy Deliverer

\nIsaiah 43:10\u201311
\n\u201cYou are my witnesses,\u201d says Adonai, \u201cand my servant whom I have chosen, so that you can know and trust me and understand that I am he\u2014no god was produced before me, nor will any be after me. I, yes I, am Adonai; besides me there is no deliverer.\u201d
\nPsalm 18:3\u20134
\n\u201cAdonai is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer, my God, my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold.
\nI call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.\u201d
\nLuke 2:11
\n\u201cThis very day, in the town of David, there was born for you a Deliverer who is the Messiah, the Lord.\u201d
\nFree! Free indeed! Through Yeshua, I am eternally released from the hands of my enemies, from all kinds of bondage, accusations, curses, and every sin that so easily entangles me.
\nRighteous Branch
\nTzemach Tzadik \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05e7
\nIsaiah 11:1
\nBut a branch will emerge from the trunk of Yishai [Jesse], a shoot will grow from his roots.
\nJeremiah 33:15
\nWhen those days come, at that time, I will cause to spring up for David a Branch of Righteousness.
\nHe will do what is just and right in the land.
\nZechariah 6:12\u201313
\n\u201c\u2026 and tell him, \u2018Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] says: \u201cThere is coming a man whose name is Tzemach. He will sprout up from his place and rebuild the temple of Adonai. Yes, he will rebuild the temple of Adonai; and he will take up royal splendor, sitting and ruling from his throne. There will be a cohen [priest] before his throne; and they will accept each other\u2019s advice in complete harmony.\u201d \u2019 \u201d
\nOlive trees go through a season when they appear dead. But even after several years of seeming lifelessness, a branch will sprout because the roots are still alive. According to God\u2019s perfect plan, at his appointed time, Messiah, the Righteous Branch appeared, bringing new life.
\nGod\u2019s Only Son
\nBen Ha\u2019Elohim Ha Yachid \u05d1\u05b6\u05bc\u05df \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3
\nJohn 1:14, 18
\nThe Word became a human being and lived with
\nus, and we saw his Sh\u2019khinah [Divine Presence],
\nthe Sh\u2019khinah of the Father\u2019s only Son,
\nfull of grace and truth.
\nJohn 3:16, 18
\n\u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.\u201d
\n\u201cThose who trust in him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God\u2019s only and unique Son.\u201d
\n1 John 4:9
\nHere is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so through him we might have life.
\nIn times of war, many sons have given their lives for what they believe in. We call them heroes. Yeshua, God\u2019s only son, is the greatest hero. He willingly gave his life as a ransom\u2014not just for a country but for the whole world.
\nGreat High Priest
\nKohen Rosh Gadol \u05db\u05b7\u05b9\u05bc\u05d4\u05b5\u05df \u05e8\u05b9\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d2\u05b8\u05bc\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc
\nLeviticus 16:32\u201333
\nThe cohen [priest] anointed and consecrated to be cohen in his father\u2019s place will make the atonement; he will put on the linen garments, the holy garments; he will make atonement for the Especially Holy Place; he will make atonement for the tent of meeting and the altar; and he will make atonement for the cohanim [priests] and for all the people of the community.
\nHebrews 4:14\u201315
\nTherefore, since we have a great cohen gadol [high priest] who has passed through to the highest heaven, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we acknowledge as true. For we do not have a cohen gadol unable to empathize with our weaknesses; since in every respect he was tempted just as we are, the only difference being that he did not sin.
\nYeshua went alone into the Holy Place as our high priest to make atonement for our sins. He became the sacrifice and he is our mediator. He dwells in the presence of God, and continually intercedes on our behalf, just as the priests did in the temple.
\nLord of the Sabbath
\nAdon HaShabbat \u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05b7\u05c1\u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05ea
\nGenesis 2:1\u20133
\nThus the heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.
\nExodus 20:8\u201311
\n\u201cRemember the day, Shabbat [Sabbath], to set it apart for God. You have six days to labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God.\u2026 For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for himself.\u201d
\nEzekiel 20:12
\nI gave them my Shabbats as a sign between me and them, so that they would know that I, Adonai, am the one who makes them holy.
\nMatthew 12:8
\n\u201cFor the Son of Man is Lord of Shabbat!\u201d
\nGod rested after six days of creating. He set the seventh day apart as holy. We can only know the meaning of Sabbath blessings when we rest as he rested. Let him speak to you about what it means to rest in him.
\nSeed of Abraham
\nZera Avraham \u05d6\u05b6\u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05dd
\nGenesis 3:15
\n\u201cI will put animosity between you and the woman, and between your descendant and her descendant; he will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.\u201d
\nGenesis 15:5
\nThen he brought him outside and said, \u201cLook up at the sky, and count the stars\u2014if you can count them! Your descendants will be that many!\u201d
\nGalatians 3:16
\nNow the promises were made to Avraham and to his seed. It doesn\u2019t say, \u201cand to seeds,\u201d as if to many; on the contrary, it speaks of one\u2014\u201cand to your seed\u201d\u2014and this \u201cone\u201d is the Messiah.
\nHebrews 2:16\u201317
\nIndeed, it is obvious that he does not take hold of angels to help them; on the contrary
\n\u201cHe takes hold of the seed of Avraham.\u201d
\nThis is way he had to become like his brothers in every respect\u2014so that he might become a merciful and faithful cohen gadol [high priest] in the service of God, making a kapparah [atonement] for the sins of the people.
\nGod\u2019s perfect plan was accomplished through the seed of Abraham. The seed is Messiah Yeshua, who came so that those of every tribe and nation could find life in him.
\nYour Savior

\n\u2026 There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth! \u2026
\nZephaniah 3:17
\n\u201cAdonai your God is right there with you, as a mighty savior.
\nHe will rejoice over you and be glad, he will be silent in his love, he will shout over you with joy.\u201d
\nPsalm 43:5
\nMy soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.
\nMatthew 1:21
\n\u201cShe will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Yeshua, [which means \u2018Adonai saves,\u2019] because he will save his people from their sins.\u201d
\nHe is holy. We are unholy. He is pure. We are impure. He is infinite. We are finite. We have a problem. To have relationship with a holy, pure, finite God, we need a savior. Let us accept the sacrifice Yeshua made for our sins with repentance and thanksgiving.
\nGod is with Us

\nTherefore Adonai himself will give you people a sign: the young woman will become pregnant, bear a son and name him \u2018Immanu El.
\nIsaiah 8:8\u201310
\n\u2026 God is with us! You may make an uproar, peoples; but you will be shattered. Listen, all of you from distant lands: arm yourselves, but you will be shattered; yes, arm yourselves, but you will be shattered; devise a plan, but it will come to nothing; say anything you like, but it won\u2019t happen; because god is with us.
\nMatthew 1:22\u201323
\nAll this happened in order to fulfill what Adonai had said through the prophet,
\n\u201cThe virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him \u2019Immanu El.\u201d
\nHow awesome! God came to us as a baby, born of a woman. He came, not only to be born, but also to live for, die for, and ultimately live in his people. Thank you God, for always being with us.
\nThe Resurrection and the Life
\nHaT\u2019kumah V\u2019HaChayim \u05d4\u05b7\u05ea\u05b0\u05bc\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05dd
\nJohn 5:27\u201329
\nAlso he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Don\u2019t be surprised at this; because the time is coming when all who are in the grave will hear his voice and come out\u2014those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to a resurrection of judgment.
\nJohn 11:25\u201326
\nYeshua said to her, \u201cI AM the Resurrection and the Life! Whoever puts his trust in me will live, even if he dies; and everyone living and trusting in me will never die. Do you believe this?\u201d
\nActs 4:33
\nWith great power the emissaries continued testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, and they were all held in high regard.
\nRomans 6:5
\nFor if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
\nOn the third day after his burial, Yeshua rose from the dead. And, because he lives, we too, have the hope of resurrection and eternal life with him.
\nThe Pierced One
\nAsher Dakaru \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e8 \u05d3\u05b8\u05bc\u05e7\u05b8\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc
\nZechariah 12:9\u201310
\n\u201cWhen that day comes, I will seek to destroy all nations attacking Yerushalayim [Jerusalem]; and I will pour out on the house of David and on those living in Yerushalayim a spirit of grace and prayer; and they will look to me, whom they pierced.\u2026\u201d
\nPsalm 22:17
\nDogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me like a lion [at] my hands and feet.*
\nJohn 19:33\u201337
\n\u2026 but when they got to yeshua and saw that he was already dead, they didn\u2019t break his side with a spear, and at once blood and water flowed out. The man who saw it has testified about it, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he tells the truth, so you ton can trust. For these things happened in order to fulfill this passage of the Tanakh:
\n\u201cNot one of his bones will be broken.\u201d
\nAnd again, another passage says,
\n\u201cThey will look at him whom they have pierced.\u201d
\nMessiah, you paid the ultimate price for us. You bought us at the cost of being nailed to the stake and receiving the spear in your side. You were pierced for us and we belong to you.
\nRighteous Servant
\nShamash Tzadik \u05e9\u05c1\u05de\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1 \u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05e7\u05bc
\nIsaiah 53:11
\n\u2026 \u201cBy his knowing [pain and sacrifice], my righteous servant makes many righteous; it is for their sins that he suffers.\u201d
\nMatthew 20:26\u201328
\n\u201cAmong you, it must not be like that. On the contrary, whoever among you wants to be a leader must become your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave! For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve\u2014and to give his life as a ransom for many.\u201d
\nJohn 13:12\u201314
\nAfter he had washed their feet, taken back his clothes and returned to the table, he said to them, \u201cDo you understand what I have done to you? you call me \u2018Rabbi\u2019 [teacher] and \u2018Lord\u2019 and you are right, because I am. Now if I, the Lord and Rabbi, have washed your feet, you also should wash each others feet.\u201d
\nPhilippians 2:6\u20137
\nThough he was in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God something to be possessed by force. On the contrary, he emptied himself, in that he took the form of a slave by becoming like human beings are.\u2026
\nIf you want to become great, you must be willing to serve others. Yeshua humbled himself, taking the form of a servant. He is our example. Ask him to help you serve as he did.

\nGenesis 48:15\u201316
\nThen he blessed Yosef [Joseph]: \u201cThe God in whose presence my fathers Avraham [Abraham] and Yitz\u2019chak [Isaac] lived, the God who has been my own shepherd all my life long to this day \u2026 bless these boys.\u201d
\nPsalm 23:1
\n\u2026 Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.
\nPsalm 95:7
\nFor he is our God, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care.

\nwill shepherd them, will lead them
\nto springs of living water,
\nand God will wipe every tear from their eyes.\u201d
\nSheep aren\u2019t the smartest creatures. They need someone to gather them, lead them to green pastures, and defend them against wolves. God does this for us, his sheep, and we are safe in his care.
\nCornerstone
\nPinah \u05e4\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05e0\u05b8\u05d4
\nIsaiah 28:16
\n\u2026 therefore here is what Adonai Elohim [Lord God] says:
\n\u201cLook, I am laying in Tziyon [Zion]
\na tested stone, a costly cornerstone,
\na firm foundation-stone;
\nhe who trusts will not rush here and there.\u201d
\nMark 12:10\u201311
\n\u201cHaven\u2019t you read the passage in the Tanakh that says,
\n\u2018The very rock which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone!
\nThis has come from Adonai, and in our eyes it is amazing\u2019?\u201d
\nEphesians 2:20\u201321
\nYou have been built on the foundation of the emissaries and the prophets, with the cornerstone being Yeshua the Messiah himself. In union with him the whole building is held together, and it is growing into a holy temple in union with the Lord.
\nThe cornerstone is fundamental to the firm foundation of a building. It marks the structure\u2019s origin and is the base for all other construction. We can rest assured that the work God is doing in our lives is secure because Yeshua is our cornerstone.
\nGuide
\nNocheh \u05e0\u05b9\u05d7\u05b6\u05d4
\nExodus 13:21
\nAdonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night.
\nExodus 15:13
\nIn your love, you led the people you redeemed; in your strength, you guided them to your holy abode.
\nIsaiah 58:11
\nAdonai will always guide you; he will satisfy your needs in the desert, he will renew the strength in your limbs; so that you will be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.
\nPsalm 73:24
\nYou will guide me with your advice; and afterwards, you will receive me with Honor.
\nPsalm 143:10
\nTeach me to do your will,
\nbecause you are my God.
\nLet your good Spirit guide me
\non ground that is level.
\nWhen we allow the Lord to lead us, we will be successful. When we rush ahead of him, the result may be disasterous. Let the all-seeing, all-knowing God direct your paths. He is a trustworthy guide.
\nMy Provider\u2014The Lord Will See to It
\nAdonai Yir\u2019eh \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05d4
\nGenesis 22:7\u20138, 14
\nYitz\u2019chak [Isaac] spoke to Avraham
\n[Abraham] his father: \u201cMy Father?\u201d He
\nanswered, \u201cHere I am, my son.\u201d He said,
\n\u201cI see the fire and the wood, but where is the
\nlamb for a burnt offering?\u201d Avraham replied,
\n\u201cGod will provide himself the lamb for a
\nburnt offering, my son\u201d; and they both went
\non together.
\nAvraham called the place Adonai Yir\u2019eh [Adonai will see (to it), Adonai provides]\u2014as it is said to this day, \u201cOn the mountain Adonai is seen.\u201d
\n1 Corinthians 10:13
\nNo temptation has seized you beyond what people normally experience, and God can be trusted not to allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. On the contrary, along with the temptation he will also provide the way out, so that you will be able to endure.
\n1 Timothy 6:17
\nAs for those who do have riches in this present world, charge them not to be proud and not to let their hopes rest on the uncertainties of riches but to rest their hopes on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.
\nHow do we determine what we really need? Sometimes we don\u2019t even know what we need or how to pray. Our Provider knows all of our needs and what is best for us, even before we tell him. Thank you God, for meeting all of my needs.
\nHiding Place
\nSeter \u05e1\u05b5\u05d7\u05b6\u05e8
\nPsalm 17:8
\nProtect me like the pupil of your eye, hide me in the shadow of your wings.
\nPsalm 27:5
\nFor he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of trouble, he will hide me in the folds of his tent, he will set me high on a rock.
\nPsalm 32:7
\nYou are a hiding-place for me, you will keep me from distress; you will surround me with songs of deliverance.
\nColossians 3:3
\nFor you have died, and your life the Messiah in God.
\nHave you ever gotten home from a hectic day, locked the door, pulled the shades down, and hid from life\u2019s demands and troubles, closing out the world? The next time you feel like hiding, run to God, our safe shelter in stormy times. He is the safest place to hide.
\nThe Lord is Good
\nTov Adonai \u05dd\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1 \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4

\nAdonai is good, and he is fair; this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live] \u2026
\nPsalm 34:9
\nTaste, and see that Adonai is good.
\nHow blessed are those who take refuge in him!
\nPsalm 145:9
\nAdonai is good to all; his compassion rests on all his creatures.
\n2 Chronicles 7:3
\nAll the people of Isra\u2019el saw when the fire came down, and the glory of Adonai was on the house; they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the flooring; prostrating themselves, they gave thanks to Adonai, \u201cfor he is good, for his grace continues forever.\u201d
\n1 Peter 2:3
\nFor you have tasted that Adonai is good.
\nChocolate fudge is delicious. But how can someone know of its goodness unless they have tasted it? Tasting produces a reaction to the flavor, texture, and richness of what we have sampled. Take time to taste and see God\u2019s goodness in your life. Count the many ways he has blessed you.
\nMy Refuge
\nMachsi \u05de\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05e1\u05b4\u05d9
\n2 Samuel 22:2\u20133
\n\u2026 \u201cAdonai is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer, the God who is my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold and my refuge.\u2026\u201d
\nIsaiah 4:5\u20136
\nAdonai will create over the whole site of Mount Tziyon [Zion] and over those who assemble there a smoking cloud by day and a shining, flaming fire by night; for the Glory will be over everything like a hupah [wedding canopy]. A sukkah [booth] will give shade by day from the heat; it will also provide refuge and cover from storm and rain.
\nJeremiah 16:19
\nAdonai, my strength, my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble.\u2026
\nJoel 4:16
\n\u2026 But Adonai will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Isra\u2019el.
\nPsalm 91:1\u20133
\nYou who live in the shelter of \u2018Elyon [Most High], who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai [The Almighty], who say to Adonai, \u201cMy refuge! My fortress! My God, in whom I trust!\u2014he will rescue you \u2026\u201d
\nEveryday, news reports remind us of the world\u2019s troubles. Where can we hide from it all? When the cares and trials of life become too overwhelming, we can find a safe refuge in God. He is our fortress in times of trouble.
\nThe Gate
\nHaSha\u2018ar \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05b7\u05bc\u05c1\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8
\nPsalm 118:19\u201321
\nOpen the gates of righteousness for me;
\nI will enter them and thank Yah.*
\nThis is the gate of Adonai;
\nthe righteous can enter it.
\nI am thanking you because you answered me;
\nyou became my salvation.
\nJohn 10:1\u20133, 6\u201310
\n\u201cYes, indeed! I tell you, the person who doesn\u2019t enter the sheep-pen through the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. But the one who goes in through the gate is the sheep\u2019s own shepherd. This is the one the gatekeeper admits, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep, each one by name, and leads them out.\u201d
\nYeshua used this indirect manner of speaking with them, but they didn\u2019t understand what he was talking to them about. So Yeshua said to them again, \u201cYes, indeed! I tell you that I am the gate for the sheep. All those who have come before me have been thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn\u2019t listen to them. I am the gate; if someone enters through me, he will be safe and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.\u201d
\nTo come to God, we need to enter through the gate he has shown us. We can\u2019t go over it; we can\u2019t crawl under it or even go around it. There is only one way\u2014through the Gate himself, and this gate is Yeshua.
\nMy Helper
\nEzrati \u05e2\u05b6\u05d6\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9
\nExodus 18:4
\nThe name of the other was Eli\u2018ezer [my God helps], \u201cbecause the God of my father helped me by rescuing me from Pharaoh\u2019s sword.\u201d
\nIsaiah 41:13
\n\u201cFor I, Adonai, your God, say to you, as I hold your right hand,
\n\u2018Have no fear; I will help you.\u2019 \u201d
\nPsalm 30:11
\n\u201cHear me, Adonai, and show me your favor! Adonai, be my helper!\u201d
\nPsalm 40:18
\nBut I am poor and needy; may Adonai think of me. You are my helper and rescuer; my God, don\u2019t delay!
\nPsalm 146:5
\nHappy is he whose help is Ya\u2018akov\u2019s [Jacob\u2019s] God, whose hope is in Adonai his God.
\nHebrews 13:6
\nTherefore, we say with confidence,
\n\u201cAdonai is my helper; I will not be afraid\u2014what can a human being do to me?\u201d
\nHave you ever been in big trouble, so huge, there seems to be no way out? When we cry out in desperation for rescue, our faithful God steps in and provides a way out. He is always there, ready to come to our aid when we call upon him.
\nMerciful God
\nEl Rachum \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05d5\u05bc\u05dd

\nSing, heaven! Rejoice, earth! Break out in song, you mountains! for Adonai is comforting his people, having mercy on his own who have suffered.
\nPsalm 86:15
\nBut you, Adonai, are a merciful, compassionate God, slow to anger and rich in grace and truth.
\nPsalm 116:5
\n\u201cAdonai is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.\u201d
\nNehemiah 9:31
\n\u201cEven so, in your great compassion, you didn\u2019t completely destroy them; nor did you abandon them, for you are a compassionate and merciful God.\u201d
\nJames 5:11
\nLook, we regard those who persevered as blessed. You have heard of the perseverance of Iyov [Job], and you know what the purpose of Adonai was, that Adonai is very compassionate and merciful.
\nThank you God, for showing us mercy when we deserve judgment. Thank you God\u2014for lovingly meeting us in our hour of need. There is no one who compares with you.
\nThe Lord Your Healer
\nAdonai Rof\u2019ekha \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05e8\u05b9\u05e4\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05da\u05b8
\nExodus 15:26
\nHe said, \u201cIf you will listen intently to the voice of Adonai your God, do what he considers right, pay attention to his mitzvot [commandmentsj and observe his laws, I will not afflict you with any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians; because I am Adonai your healer.\u201d
\nPsalm 30:3
\nAdonai my God, I cried out to you, and you provided healing for me.
\nPsalm 103:3

\nMatthew 4:24
\nWord of him spread throughout all Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill, suffering from various diseases and pains, and those held in the power of demons, and epileptics and paralytics; and he healed them.
\nGod, you are the potter and we are the clay. You fashioned our bodies and are intimately acquainted with how we are made. Thank you for caring when we are in pain. Thank you for your healing power in our lives.
\nThe Lord is There
\nAdonai Shamah \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05e9\u05b8\u05c1\u05de\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4
\nDeuteronomy 7:21
\n\u201cYou are not to be frightened of them, because Adonai your God is there with you, a God great and fearsome.\u201d
\nIsaiah 48:16
\n\u201cCome close to me, and listen to this:
\nsince the beginning I have not spoken in secret,
\nsince the time things began to be, I have been there; and now Adonai Elohim [Lord God] has sent me and his Spirit.\u201d
\nEzekiel 48:35
\n\u201cThe perimeter of [the city] will be just under six [miles] long. And from that day on the name of the city will be Adonai Shamah.\u201d
\nZephaniah 3:5, 15
\nAdonai, who is righteous, is there among them; he never does anything wrong.\u2026
\nAdonai has removed the judgments against you, he has expelled your enemy; the king of Isra\u2019el, Adonai, is right there with you. You no longer need to fear that anything bad will happen.
\nWherever I go, God is there. Whatever sticky situation I get myself into, God is there. When I am afraid and in danger, God is there. I am never, ever alone because my faithful God is always there with me.
\nGod of My Life

\nBy day Adonai commands his grace, and at night his song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
\nPsalm 146:2
\nI will praise Adonai as long as I live.
\nI will sing praise to my God all my life.
\nGalatians 2:20
\nWhen the Messiah was executed on the stake as a criminal, I was too; so that my proud ego no longer lives. But the Messiah lives in me, and the life I now live in my body I live by the same trusting faithfulness that the Son of God had, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
\nGod, my life belongs to you alone. Apart from you I am nothing and have nothing. Thank you for sending Yeshua to live in me so I can live for you.
\nGod Who Sustains Me
\nEl Yism\u2019kheyni \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d9\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05de\u05b0\u05db\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9

\nPsalm 146:9
\nAdonai watches over strangers, he sustains the fatherless and widows \u2026
\nPsalm 147:6
\nAdonai sustains the humble but brings the wicked down to the ground.
\nGod, you provide for all my needs and sustain my life. When I am weak and my heart is faint, you support me. Thank you for always being there for me to lean on.
\nGod of All Encouragement
\nElohey Kol HaNechamah \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05b6\u05bc\u05d7\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4
\nPsalm 10:17
\nAdonai, you have heard what the humble want; you encourage them and listen to them \u2026
\nRomans 15:4\u20135
\nFor everything written in the past was written to teach us, so that with the encouragement of the Tanakh we might patiently hold on to our hope. And may God, the source of encouragement and patience, give you the same attitude among yourselves as the Messiah Yeshua had, so that with one accord and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
\n2 Corinthians 1:3\u20134
\nPraised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, compassionate Father, God of all encouragement and comfort; who encourages us in all our trials, so that we can encourage others in whatever trials they may be undergoing with the encouragement we ourselves from God.
\nSometimes life seems dark and full of storms. But we can weather these storms because God meets us in our times of need through his word and spirit. The next time you feel discouraged, go to God. He\u2019s ready and eager to lift your spirit.
\nThe Lord My Strength

\n2 Samuel 22:33\u201334
\n\u201cGod is my strength and protection; he makes my way go straight. He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enables me to stand on my high places.\u201d
\nPsalm 140:8\u20139
\nAdonai, Adonai, my saving strength, my helmet shielding my head in battle, Adonai, don\u2019t grant the wicked their wishes; make their plot fail, so they won\u2019t grow proud.
\nPsalm 18:2

\nPsalm 59:10, 17\u201318

\nFor you are my fortress,
\na refuge when I am in trouble.
\nMy Strength, I will sing praises to you,
\nfor God is my fortress, God, who gives me grace.
\nIt\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed when the circumstances of our lives are trying and our strength is depleted. But through God\u2019s strength, we can prevail against the attacks of our enemies, standing firm and full of faith. Our God gives us his fortitude when we have none of our own.

\nDeuteronomy 1:29\u201331
\n\u201cI answered you, \u2018Don\u2019t be fearful, don\u2019t be afraid of them. Adonai your God, who is going ahead of you, will fight on your behalf, just as he accomplished all those things for you in Egypt before your eyes, and likewise in the desert, where you saw how Adonai your God carried you, like a man carries his child, along the entire way you traveled until you arrived at this place.\u2019 \u201d
\nIsaiah 40:11
\n\u201cHe is like a shepherd feeding his flock,
\ngathering his lambs with his arm,
\ncarrying them against his chest,
\ngently leading the mother sheep.\u201d
\nIsaiah 46:3\u20134
\n\u201cListen to me, house of Ya\u2018akov,
\nall who remain of the house of Isra\u2019el:
\nI have borne you from birth, carried you since the womb.
\nTill your old age I will be the same\u2014
\nI will carry you until your hair is white.
\nI have made you, and I will bear you;
\nyes, I will carry and save you.\u201d
\nPsalm 28:8\u20139
\nAdonai is strength for [his people],
\na stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
\nSave your people! Bless your heritage!
\nShepherd them, and carry them forever!
\nWhen situations cause us to feel weak and helpless, God promises not to just be with us, or near us, but to hold us next to his heart, carrying us safely in his arms all the days of our lives.

\n1 John 4:10
\nHere is what love is: not that we have loved
\nGod, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.

\nJeremiah 15:15
\nAdonai, you know. Remember me,
\nthink of me, and take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
\nBecause you are patient, don\u2019t banish me;
\nknow that for your sake I suffer insults.
\n1 Timothy 1:16
\nBut this is precisely why I received mercy\u2014so that in me, as the number one sinner, Yeshua the Messiah might demonstrate how very patient he is, as an example to those who would later come to trust in him and thereby have eternal life.
\n2 Peter 3:9
\nThe Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.
\nHow LONG a 3-minute egg can take! Sometimes, it seems water takes forever to boil! we live in a society that encourages us to be impatient. Microwave ovens, fast cars, and jet planes. Yet, we have a God who is unbelievably patient and long-suffering as he waits for us to turn to him.

\n1 Chronicles 28:9
\n\u201cAs for you, Shlomo [Solomon] my son, know the God of your father. Serve him wholeheartedly and with desire in your being; for Adonai searches all hearts and understands all the inclinations of people\u2019s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.\u201d
\nRomans 8:26\u201327
\nSimilarly, the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we don\u2019t know how to pray the way we should. But the Spirit himself pleads on our behalf with groanings too deep for words; and the one who searches hearts knows exactly what the Spirit is thinking, because his pleadings for God\u2019s people accord with God\u2019s will.
\nIn times of war, people used to use huge lights to search the darkness for enemy planes. Let God shine his searchlight on your heart to expose any darkness so you can walk in his light.

\n\u201cYeshurun [The Upright One], there is no one like God,

\nThe God of old is a dwelling-place,
\nwith everlasting arms beneath.
\nHe expelled the enemy before you and he said, \u2018Destroy!\u2019
\nSo Isra\u2019el lives in security;
\nthe fountain of Ya\u2018akov [Jacob] is alone in a land of grain and new wine,
\nwhere the skies drip with dew.\u201d
\nPsalm 90:1\u20132
\n\u2026 Adonai, you have been our dwelling place in every generation.
\nBefore the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, from eternity past to eternity future you are God.
\nAre you homesick? Do you sometimes feel like you don\u2019t belong anywhere? God himself in a dwelling place for us, an everlasting abode, where we can live safely and securely all the days of our lives.

\nRevelation 21:3
\nI heard a loud voice from the throne say, \u201cSee! God\u2019s Sh\u2019khinah [Divine Presence] is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God.\u201d

\nThe spirit of Adonai will rest on him\u201a

\nhe will be inspired by fearing Adonai.
\nHe will not judge by what his eyes see
\nor decide bv what his ears hear.
\nIsaiah 40:13\u201314
\nWho has measured the Spirit of Adonai?
\nWho has been his counselor, instructing him?
\nWhom did he consult, to gain understanding?
\nWho taught him how to judge,
\ntaught him what he needed to know,
\nshowed him how to discern?
\n2 Corinthians 3:17
\nNow, \u201cAdonai\u201d in this text means the Spirit. And where the Spirit of Adonai is, there is freedom.
\nThe Spirit of the Lord sets us free. Through the Spirit of the Lord, we have power to live lives pleasing to God. Thank you God, for sending your Spirit to live in me.

\nIsaiah 61:1\u20132
\nThe Spirit of Adonai Elohim [Lord God] is upon me, because Adonai has anointed me to announce good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives, to let out into light those bound in the dark; to proclaim the year of the favor of Adonai and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.
\nPsalm 23:5

\n1 John 2:20
\nBut you have received the Messiah\u2019s anointing from HaKadosh [The Holy One].\u2026

\nPsalm 16:7

\nPsalm 106:13
\nBut soon they forgot his deeds and wouldn\u2019t wait for his counsel.

\n\u201cBut the Counselor, the Ruach HaKodesh [Holy Spirit], whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything; that is, he will remind you of everything I have said to you.\u201d
\nHuman counselors are helpful, but all truth, wisdom, and healing comes from God. For he alone understands clearly every situation. He discerns the motives of our hearts and knows what is best for us.

\n1 Kings 18:36\u201338
\nThen, when it came time for offering the evening offering, Eliyahu [Elijah] the prophet approached and said, \u201cAdonai, God of Avraham [Abraham], Yitz\u2019chak [Isaac], and Isra\u2019el, let it be known today that you are God in Isra\u2019el, and that I am your servant, and that I have done these things at your word. Hear me, Adonai, hear me, so that this people may know that you, Adonai, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back to you.\u201d
\nThen the fire of Adonai fell. It consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones and the dust; and it licked up the water in the trench.
\nHebrews 12:28\u201329
\nTherefore, since we have received an unshakable Kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may offer service that will please God, with reverence and fear. For indeed,
\n\u201cOur God is a consuming fire!\u201d
\nFire. It fuels the furnace that provides heat in the winter, the campfire that gives light in the wilderness, and the gas stove on which we cook our food. But it also has the power to destroy everything in its path. Let us always be mindful of the awesome power of our God.

\nA multitude of clamoring voices compete for our attention. Salesmen, media moguls, political pundits, and religious leaders tell us what is best. How do we know what to believe? God has given us his Spirit of Truth to lead our way. Ask him to shed his light on your path.

\nGod knows best. Have you ever realized that the way God worked something out in your life was better than your own solution to a problem? Of course it was! God is pleased when we ask for wisdom. Do that so he can give you a wise and discerning heart.
\nLight of Israel
\nOr Yisra\u2019el \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc
\nExodus 13:20\u201321
\nThey traveled from Sukkot [Succoth] and set up camp in Etam [Etham], at the edge of the desert. Adonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night.
\nIsaiah 2:5
\nDescendants of Ya\u2018akov [Jacob], come! Let\u2019s live in the light of Adonai!
\nIsaiah 10:17
\nThe light of Isra\u2019el will become a fire his Holy One a flame \u2026
\nIsaiah 60:1
\n\u201cArise, shine [Yerushalayim],* for your light has come, the glory of Adonai has risen over you.\u201d
\nRevelation 21:22\u201324
\nI saw no Temple in the city, for Adonai, God of heaven\u2019s armies, is its Temple, as is the Lamb. The city has no need for the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God\u2019s Sh\u2019khinah [Divine Presence] gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
\nGod, with your light, you led the children of Isra\u2019el thought the wilderness so they could travel during the night. Shine your light on my path so I can walk in your ways.
\nThe Word
\nHaDavar \u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b8\u05bc\u05d1\u05b8\u05e8
\nDeuteronomy 9:10
\nThen Adonai gave me the two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God; and on them was written every word Adonai had said to you from the fire on the mountain the day of the assembly.
\nDeuteronomy 30:14
\n\u201cOn the contrary, the word is very close to you\u2014in your mouth, even in your heart; therefore, you can do it!\u201d
\nJohn 1:1\u20132, 14
\nIn the beginning was the Word,
\nand the Word was with God,
\nand the Word was God.
\nHe was with God in the beginning.
\nThe Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh\u2019khinah [Divine Presence], the Sh\u2019khinah of the Father\u2019s only Son, full of grace and truth.
\nHebrews 1:3
\nThis Son is the radiance of the Sh\u2019khinah, the very expression of God\u2019s essence, upholding all that exists by his powerful word \u2026
\nGod, there is power in your word. Your word is just and true and gives life to all mankind. Thank you for sending Yeshua, the Living Word, so we could know you better.
\nLight of the World
\nOr Ha\u2018Olam \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd
\nPsalm 18:29
\n\u201cFor you, Adonai, light my lamp;
\nAdonai, my God, lights up my darkness.\u201d
\nPsalm 27:1
\n\u2026 Adonai is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?
\nJohn 1:4\u20135, 9
\nIn him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.
\nThe light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it.
\nThis was the true light, which gives light to everyone entering the world.
\nJohn 8:12
\nYeshua spoke to them again: \u201cI am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.\u201d
\nStreetlights, traffic lights, and neon lights cause a city to glow from a distance. But they do nothing to remove spiritual darkness. Let Yeshua illumine the dark places in your heart. He is brighter and more powerful than any electric light!
\nLiving Bread
\nLechem Chai \u05dc\u05b6\u05d7\u05b6\u05dd \u05d7\u05b7\u05d9
\nJohn 6:31\u201335, 48\u201351, 58
\n\u201cOur fathers ate man [manna] in the desert\u2014as it says in the Tanakh, \u2018He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\u2019 \u201d Yeshua said to them, \u201cYes, indeed! I tell you it wasn\u2019t Moshe [Moses] who gave you the bread from heaven. But my Father is giving you the genuine bread from heaven; for God\u2019s bread is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.\u201d
\nThey said to him, \u201cSir, give us this bread from now on.\u201d Yeshua answered, \u201cI am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty.\u201d
\n\u201cI am the bread which is life. Your fathers ate the man in the desert; they died. But the bread that comes down from heaven is such that a person may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that has come down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever.\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cSo this is the bread that has come down from heaven\u2014it is not like the bread the fathers ate; they\u2019re dead, but whoever eats this bread will live forever!\u201d
\nSome form of bread is used as a staple, the world over. Whether you buy it or bake it, that loaf of bread on your kitchen counter will eventually grow moldy. God gave us bread from heaven that will never spoil. Only Yeshua, the Living Bread, can satisfy our spiritual hunger.
\nSpirit of Revelation

\n1 Samuel 9:15
\nThe day before Sha\u2019ul [Saul] arrived, Adonai had given Sh\u2019mu\u2019el [Samuel] a revelation.
\nLuke 2:30\u201332
\n\u201c\u2026 for I have seen with my own eyes your yeshu\u2018ah [salvation],
\nwhich you prepared in the presence of all peoples\u2014
\na light that will bring revelation to the Goyim
\n[nations] and glory to your people Isra\u2019el.\u201d
\nGalatians 1:11\u201312
\nFurthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product; because neither did I receive it from someone else nor was I taught it\u2014it came through a direct revelation from Yeshua the Messiah.
\nEphesians 1:16\u201317
\n\u2026 In my prayers I keep asking the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the glorious Father, to give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you will have full knowledge of him.
\nA cure for cancer, a faster way to travel, a new recipe for success. All of these would be very exciting discoveries. But they pale in light of the revelation God gives us through his Spirit. Ask him to show you something new today!
\nRefiner
\nM\u2019tzaref \u05de\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05e8\u05b5\u05e3
\nJeremiah 9:6
\n\u201cTherefore,\u201d says Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts],
\n\u201cI will refine them and test them.
\nWhat else can I do with the daughter of my people?\u201d
\nZechariah 13:9
\n\u201cThat third part I will bring through the fire;
\nI will refine them as silver is refined,
\nI will test them as gold is tested.
\nThey will call on my name,
\nand I will answer them.
\nI will say, \u2018This is my people\u2019
\nand they will say, \u2018Adonai is my God.\u2019 \u201d
\nMalachi 3:2\u20133
\nBut who can endure the day when he comes?
\nWho can stand when he appears?
\nFor he will be like a refiner\u2019s fire,
\nlike the soapmaker\u2019s lye.
\nHe will sit, testing and purifying the silver;
\nhe will purify the sons of Levi,
\nrefining them like gold and silver,
\nso that they can bring offerings to Adonai uprightly.
\nPsalm 66:10
\nFor you, God, have tested us,
\nrefined us as silver is refined.
\nWhen silver is refined, heat separates the precious metal from the dross. Too much heat harms the silver. Someone asked a silversmith how he knew when the process was complete. The silversmith replied, \u201cWhen I can see my image in the silver.\u201d Be open to God\u2019s refining process and allow his image to be formed in you.

\nPsalm 18:31
\n\u201cAs for God, his way is perfect,
\nthe word of Adonai has been tested by fire;
\nhe shields all who take refuge in him.\u201d
\nPsalm 25:12
\nWho is the person who fears Adonai?
\nHe will teach him the way to choose.
\nProverbs 10:29
\nThe way of Adonai is a stronghold to the upright but ruin to those who do evil.
\nJohn 14:5\u20136
\nT\u2019oma [Thomas] said to him, \u201cLord, we don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going; so how can we know the way?\u201d Yeshua said, \u201cI AM the Way\u2014and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.\u201d
\nWe all like to get \u201cthere\u201d fast. Some people like to get \u201cthere\u201d first and always seem to know a shortcut. But there are no shortcuts to God. Only one path leads to life, the one through Yeshua the Messiah.
\nTeacher
\nMoreh \u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05b6\u05d4
\nExodus 4:15
\n\u201cYou will speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and his, teaching you both what to do.\u201d
\nDeuteronomy 4:1
\n\u201cNow, Isra\u2019el, listen to the laws and rulings I am teaching you, in order to follow them, so that you will live; then you will go in and take possession of the land that Adonai, the God of your fathers, is giving you.\u201d
\nIsaiah 48:17
\nThus says Adonai, your Redeemer,
\nthe Holy One of Isra\u2019el:
\nI am Adonai, your God,
\nwho teaches you for your own good,
\nwho guides you on the path you should take.\u201d
\nJob 36:22
\n\u201cLook, God is exalted in his strength;
\nwho is a teacher like him?\u201d
\nJohn 7:16
\nSo Yeshua gave them an answer: \u201cMy teaching is not my own, it comes from the One who sent me.\u201d
\nGod hasn\u2019t left us alone to figure out the answers to life\u2019s questions all by ourselves. We have a Teacher who is there to help lead and guide us. Ask him what lessons he wants you to learn today.
\nRevealer of Secrets
\nGaleh Razin (Aramaic) \u05d2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05d4 \u05e8\u05b8\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05df
\nDaniel 2:29\u201330, 47
\n\u201cYour majesty, when you were in bed, you began thinking about what would take place in the future; and he who reveals secrets has revealed to you what will happen. Yet this secret has not been revealed to me because I am wiser than anyone living, but so that the meaning can be made known to your majesty, and then you can understand the thoughts of your own mind.\u201d
\nTo Dani\u2019el the king said, \u201cYour God is indeed the God of gods, the Lord of kings and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.\u201d
\nLuke 8:9\u201310
\nHis talmidim [disciples] asked him what this parable might mean, and he said, \u201cTo you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but the rest are taught in parables, so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand.\u201d
\n1 Corinthians 4:4\u20135
\n\u2026 The one who is evaluating me is the Lord. So don\u2019t pronounce judgment prematurely, before the Lord comes; for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness; he will expose the motives of people\u2019s hearts \u2026
\nAre there secrets in your life you hope nobody finds out? There are no secrets with God. He knows and sees all. One day, the motives of our hearts will be revealed. Seek to live a life of humility and honesty before God and with others.
\nJudge
\nShofet \u05e9\u05b9\u05c1\u05e4\u05b5\u05d8
\nPsalm 7:8\u20139
\nMay the assembly of the peoples surround you; may you return to rule over them from on high. Adonai, who dispenses judgment to the peoples, judge me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and as my integrity deserves.
\nPsalm 50:4, 6
\n\u2026 he calls to the heavens above and to earth, in order to judge his people.
\nThe heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge.
\nPsalm 96:12\u201313
\n\u2026 let the fields exult and all that is in them.
\nThen all the trees in the forest will sing before Adonai, because he has come, he has come to judge the earth; he will judge the world rightly and the peoples with his faithfulness.
\nActs 10:42\u201343
\n\u201cThen he commanded us to proclaim and attest to the Jewish people that this man has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. All the prophets bear witness to him, that everyone who puts his trust in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.\u201d
\nHave you ever heard of a judge that accepted a bribe or was biased in favor of one party? We have a Judge who is upright and honest. All of his rulings are impartial and we can trust him with our lives.
\nThe Lord Who Sets You Apart
\nAdonai M\u2019kadishkhem \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05de\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05d3\u05b4\u05bc\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05db\u05b6\u05dd
\nLeviticus 20:8
\n\u201cObserve my regulations, and obey them; I am Adonai, who sets you apart to be holy.\u201d
\nExodus 31:13
\n\u201cTell the people of Isra\u2019el, \u2018You are to observe my Shabbats [Sabbaths]; for this is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you will know that I am Adonai, who sets you apart for me.\u201d
\nJohn 17:17\u201319
\n\u201cSet them apart for holiness by means of the truth\u2014your word is truth. Just as you sent me into the world. I have sent them into the world. On their behalf I am setting myself apart for holiness, so that they too may be set apart for holiness by means of the truth.\u201d
\n1 Corinthians 6:11
\nSome of you used to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and the Spirit of our God.
\nGod gave the people of Isra\u2019el special instructions for holy living, setting them apart for himself, and making them different from the surrounding nations. Are you like all of your neighbors, coworkers, or friends? Ask God to show areas in your life that need to be set apart for him.

\n2 Peter 1:19
\nYes, we have the prophetic Word made very certain. You will do well to pay attention to it as to a light shining in a dark, murky place, until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts.
\nRevelation 2:26\u201329
\n\u201cTo him who wins the victory and does what I want until the goal is reached,
\nI will give him authority over the nations;
\nhe will rule them with a staff of iron
\nand dash them to pieces like pottery,
\njust as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. Those who have ears, let them hear what the spirit is saying to the Messianic communities.\u201d
\nRevelation 22:16
\n\u201cI, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.\u201d
\nThe morning star in the eastern sky at daybreak is a beautiful sight. The dawning of each new day brings another twenty-four hours to love our Morning Star Yeshua, the one who has risen in our hearts.

\nJohn 15:1\u20135, 7\u20138
\n\u201cI am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch which is part of me but fails to bear fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. Right now, because of the word which I have spoken to you, you are pruned. Stay united with me, as I will with you\u2014for just as the branch can\u2019t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine, so you can\u2019t bear fruit apart from me.\u201d
\n\u201cI am the vine and you are the branches. Those who stay united with me, and I with them, are the ones who bear much fruit; because apart from me you can\u2018t do a thing.\u201d
\n\u201cIf you remain united with me, and my words with you, then ask whatever you want, and it will happen for you. This is how my Father is glorified\u2014in your bearing much fruit; this is how you will prove to be my talmidim [disciples].\u201d
\nVines grow along whatever is nearby, latching on with their tendrils. Nourishment flows from the roots to all parts of the plant, causing it to bear fruit in season. Stay close to Yeshua so you can receive spiritual nourishment and bear fruit.

\nIsaiah 30:18
\nYet Adonai is just waiting to show you favor, he will have pity on you from on high; for Adonai is a God of justice; happy are all who wait for him!
\nIsaiah 45:23\u201324
\n\u201cIn the name of myself I have sworn, from my mouth has rightly gone out, a word that will not return\u2014that to me every knee will bow and every tongue will swear about me that only in Adonai are justice and strength.\u2026\u201d
\nPsalm 97:2
\nClouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
\nPsalm 99:4
\n\u201cMight king who loves justice, you established fairness, justice and righteousness in Ya\u2018akov [Jacob].\u201d
\nPsalm 111:7
\nThe works of his hands are truth and justice; all his precepts can be trusted.
\nThat\u2019s not fair! Have you ever said that? When it seems like you are being taken advantage of, when things don\u2019t go your way\u2014be encouraged and wait for God to work. His ways are fair and righteous. Put your trust in him.

\nDeuteronomy 33:29
\nHappy are you, Isra\u2019el! \u201cWho is like you, a people saved by Adonai, your defender helping you and your sword of triumph? Your enemies will cringe before you, but you will trample down their high places.\u201d
\nIsaiah 19:19\u201320
\non that day there will be an altar to Adonai in the middle of the land of Egypt, as well as standing stone for Adonai at its border. It will be a sign and witness to Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] in the land of Egypt; so that when they cry out to Adonai for help because of the oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and rescue them.
\nPsalm 35:23\u201324
\nWake up! Get up, my God, my Lord! Defend me and my cause! Give judgment for me, Adonai, my God, as your righteousness demands.\u2026
\nProverbs 23:10\u201311
\nDon\u2019t move the ancient boundary stone
\nor encroach on the land of the fatherless;
\nfor their Redeemer is strong;
\nhe will take up their fight against you.
\nIn the face of predators, animals such as bison and elephants group together, surrounding their young to protect them from danger. We have a Defender who protects us from the attacks of the evil one.
\nGuardian
\nShomer \u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b5\u05e8
\nGenesis 28:15
\n\u201cLook, I am with you. I will guard you wherever you go, and I will bring you back into this land, because I won\u2019t leave you until I have done what I have promised you.\u201d
\nPsalm 121:3\u20138
\nHe will not let your foot slip\u2014your guardian is not asleep. No, the guardian of Isra\u2019el never slumbers or sleeps.
\nAdonai is your guardian; at your right hand Adonai provides you with shade\u2014the sun can\u2019t strike you during the day or even the moon at night. Adonai will guard you against all harm; he will guard your life. Adonai will guard your coming and going from now on and forever.
\nPsalm 127:1
\n\u2026 Unless Adonai guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.
\n1 John 5:18
\nWe know that everyone who has God as his Father does not go on sinning; on the contrary, the Son born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not touch him.
\nIn Israel, all soldiers must do guard duty. The constant attentiveness, long hours, and desert heat can be wearying. Let us be thankful for a Guardian who never gets weary of keeping watch over us.
\nAncient One
\nAtik Yomaiya (Aramaic) \u05e2\u05b7\u05ea\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0
\nDaniel 7:9\u201310, 13\u201314, 21\u201322
\n\u201cAs I watched, thrones were set in place; and the Ancient One took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow, the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was fiery flames ,with wheels of burning fire.
\nA stream of fire flowed from his presence; thousands and thousands ministered to him, millions and millions stood before him.\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cI kept watching the night visions, when I saw, coming with the clouds of heaven, someone like a son of man.
\nHe approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence. To him was given rulership, glory and a kingdom, so that all peoples, nations and languages should serve him. His rulership is an eternal rulership that will not pass away \u2026\u201d
\n\u201cI watched, and that horn made war with the holy ones and was winning, until the Ancient One came, judgment was given in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came for the holy ones to take over the kingdom.\u201d
\nLook up the definition of \u201cancient\u201d and you\u2019ll see words like \u201cold,\u201d \u201carchaic,\u201d \u201cantiquated,\u201d and \u201cobsolete.\u201d However, God is none of these things. Through this name, we understand a God\u2019s immortality, wisdom, and power. Praise him!

\nIsaiah 10:21
\nA remnant will return, the remnant of Ya\u2018akov [Jacob], to the mighty God.
\nPsalm 24:7\u20138
\nLift up your heads, you gates! Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can enter! Who is he, this glorious king? Adonai, strong and mighty, Adonai, mighty in battle.
\nPsalm 50:1
\n\u2026 The Mighty One, God, Adonai, is speaking, summoning the world from east to west.\u2026
\nMighty! Imposing, awesome, and omnipotent. Who can compare to our God? He is mightier and more powerful than any army. He commands and it is so.
\nThe lord of Victory
\nAdonai Hoshia \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05e2\u05b7
\nDeuteronomy 20:3\u20134
\n\u201c\u2026 You are about to do battle against your enemies. Don\u2019t be fainthearted or afraid; don\u2019t be alarmed or frightened by them; because Adonai your God is going with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies and give you victory.\u201d
\nZechariah 9:9
\n\u201cRejoice with all your heart, daughter of Tziyon [Zion]! Shout out loud, daughter of Yerushalayim!* Look! Your king is coming to you. He is righteous, and he is victorious. Yet he is humble\u2014he\u2019s riding on a donkey, yes, on a lowly donkey\u2019s colt.\u201d
\nPsalm 20:7, 10
\nNow I know that Adonai gives victory to his anointed one\u2014he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.
\nGive victory, Adonai!
\nLet the King answer us the day we call.
\n1 Corinthians 15:56\u201357
\nThe sting of death is sin; and sin draws its power from the Torah [teaching]; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!
\nAre you losing battles left and right? Do you sometimes feel like no matter what you do, you can\u2019t win? Do you feel like a failure? Look to the Lord of Victory. He longs to help you become victorious!
\nLion of Judah
\nAryeh Mishevet Y\u2019hudah \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d9\u05b5\u05d4 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05b5\u05c1\u05d1\u05b6\u05d8 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4
\nHosea 5:14; 6:1
\n\u201cFor to Efrayim [Ephraim] I will be like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Y\u2019hudah [Judah]\u2014I will tear them up and go away; I will carry them off, and no one will rescue.\u201d
\n\u201cCome, let us return to Adonai:
\nfor he has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck, and he will bind our wounds.\u201d
\nRevelation 5:4\u20135, 9
\nI cried and cried, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. One of the elders said to me, \u201cDon\u2019t cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Y\u2019hudah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.\u201d
\n\u201c\u2026 You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals;
\nbecause you were slaughtered;
\nat the cost of blood you ransomed for God
\npersons from every tribe, language, people and nation.\u201d
\nThe image of a lion has long been a Jewish symbol. It was used for King Solomon\u2019s throne and is used today in ritual objects. These beautiful yet fierce animals represent power and strength. The mighty Lion of the tribe of Y\u2019hudah allowed himself to be slaughtered as a gentle Lamb so we could be worthy to stand in his presence.
\nGod of Zeal
\nElKin\u2019ah \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e7\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4
\n2 Kings 19:30\u201331
\n\u201cMeanwhile, the remnant of the house of Y\u2019hudah [Judah] that has escaped will again take root downward and bear fruit upward; for a remnant will go out from Yerushalayim [Jerusalem], those escaping will go out from Mount Tziyon [Zion].
\nThe zeal of Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] will accomplish this.\u201d
\nIsaiah 9:6
\n\u2026 in order to extend the dominion and perpetuate the peace of the throne and kingdom of David, to secure it and sustain it through justice and righteousness henceforth and forever. The zeal of Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot will accomplish this.
\nIsaiah 59:16\u201317
\nHe saw that there was no one, was amazed that no one interceded. Therefore his own arm brought him salvation, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, salvation as a helmet on his head; he clothed himself with garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in a mantle of zeal.
\nWhat kinds of things are you zealous for? What drives you day-by-day? God\u2019s intense, devoted drive to accomplish his purposes is without equal. He is passionate and tireless as he carries out his plans. Imitate God and be zealous for the things that please him.
\nLord of Heaven\u2019s Armies (Lord of Hosts)
\nAdonai Tzva\u2019ot \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05e6\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea
\nJoshua 5:13\u201315
\nOne day \u2026 Y\u2019hoshua [Joshua] \u2026 raised his eyes and looked; and in front of him stood a man with his drawn sword in his hand. Y\u2019hoshua went over to him and asked him, \u201cAre you on our side or on the side of our enemies?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d he replied, \u201cbut I am the commander of Adonai\u2019s army; I have come just now.\u201d Y\u2019hoshua fell down with his face to the ground and worshiped him, then asked, \u201cWhat does my lord have to say to his servant?\u201d The commander of Adonai\u2019s army answered Y\u2019hoshua, \u201cTake your sandals off your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy.\u201d And Y\u2019hoshua did so.
\nPsalm 84:4
\nAs the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young, [so my resting-place is] by your altars, Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot, my king and my God.
\nRevelation 11:16\u201317
\nThe twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God\u2019s presence fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying,
\n\u201cWe thank you, Adonai,
\nGod of heaven\u2019s armies,
\nthe One who is and was \u2026\u201d
\nThe Commander of the hosts of heaven is mighty and powerful. He is worthy of our worship and highest praise. And though he is awe inspiring, terrifying, and holy, we can approach him and say as the psalmist did, \u201cmy resting place is by your altars, Adonai Tzva\u2019ot, my king and my God.\u201d
\nMy Advocate
\nSahadi \u05e9\u05b8\u05c2\u05d4\u05b2\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9
\nPsalm 119:153\u2013154
\nLook at my distress, and rescue me,
\nfor I do not forget your Torah [teaching].
\nPlead my cause, and redeem me;
\nin keeping with your promise, revive me.
\nProverbs 22:22\u201323
\nDon\u2019t exploit the helpless, because they are
\nhelpless, and don\u2019t crush the poor in court,
\nfor, Adonai will plead their case for them
\nand withhold life from those who defraud them.
\nJob 16:19
\nEven now, my witness is in heaven;
\nmy advocate is there on high.
\n1 John 2:1
\nMy children, I am writing you these things so that
\nyou won\u2019t sin. But if anyone does sin, we have
\nYeshua the Messiah, the Tzaddik [Righteous One],
\nwho pleads our cause with the Father.
\nHave you ever needed a lawyer to plead your case? An advocate believes in you, stands with you and for you, and defends you when you are accused. Be grateful for Yeshua the Messiah, your advocate. Through him, the verdict is \u201cnot guilty.\u201d You won\u2019t find a more competent attorney!
\nShield
\nMagen \u05de\u05b8\u05d2\u05b5\u05df
\nPsalm 3:4
\nBut you, Adonai, are a shield for me;
\nyou are my glory, you lift my head high.
\nPsalm 7:11
\nMy shield is God,
\nwho saves the upright in heart.
\nPsalm 18:36
\n\u201cYou give me your shield, which is salvation,
\nyour right hand holds me up,
\nyour humility makes me great.\u201d
\nPsalm 28:7
\nAdonai is my strength and shield;
\nin him my heart trusted, and I have been
\nhelped.\u2026
\nPsalm 33:20
\nWe are waiting for, Adonai;
\nhe is our help and shield.
\nProverbs 2:7
\nHe stores up common sense for the upright,
\nis a shield to those whose conduct is blameless.
\nImagine fierce warriors, standing shield-to-shield, impenetrable, wielding their spears. This is a picture of the way God protects those who are upright in heart. He stops the arrows and darts of the enemy. Nothing gets past him!
\nThe Lord My Banner
\nAdonai Nissi \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05e0\u05b4\u05e1\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9
\nExodus 17:14\u201316
\nAdonai said to Moshe [Moses], \u201cWrite this
\nin a book to be remembered, and tell it to
\nY\u2019hoshua [Joshua]: I will completely blot out
\nany memory of \u2018Amalek from under heaven.\u201d
\nMoshe built an altar, called it Adonai Nissi,
\nand said, \u201cBecause their hand was against
\nthe throne of Yah,* Adonai will fight
\n\u2018Amalek generation after generation\u201d.
\nIsaiah 11:12
\nHe will hoist a banner for the Goyim [nations],
\nassemble the dispersed of Isra\u2019el,
\nand gather the scattered of Y\u2019hudah [Judah]
\nfrom the four corners of the earth.
\nIsaiah 49:22
\nAdonai Elohim [Lord God] answers:
\n\u201cI am beckoning to the nations,
\nraising my banner for the peoples.
\nThey will bring your sons in their arms
\nand carry your daughters on their shoulders.\u201d
\nSong of Solomon 2:4
\nHe brings me to the banquet hall;
\nhis banner over me is love.
\nEach nation has a flag or banner that represents who they are. God\u2019s banner of love is over us declaring to all who see, that the Lord is our God, and we are his people.
\nJealous God
\nEl Kana \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e7\u05b7\u05e0\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0
\nDeuteronomy 6:13\u201315
\n\u201cYou are to fear Adonai your God, serve him and swear by his name. You are not to follow other gods, chosen from the gods of the peoples around you; because Adonai, your God, who is here with you, is a jealous God \u2026\u201d
\nExodus 34:14
\n\u201c\u2026because you are not to bow down to any other god; since Adonai\u2014whose very name is Jealous\u2014is a jealous God.\u201d
\nEzekiel 39:25
\n\u201cTherefore Adonai Elohim [Lord God] says this:
\n\u2018Now I will restore the fortunes of Ya\u2018akov [Jacob]
\nand have compassion on the entire house of Isra\u2019el,
\nand I will be jealous for my holy name.\u2019 \u201d
\nZechariah 8:2
\n\u201cAdonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] says, \u2018I am extremely jealous on Tziyon\u2019s [Zion\u2019s] behalf, and I am jealous for her with great fury.\u2019 \u201d
\nBecause God loves us, he is jealous for our love. We cannot seek his face when we put our own interests ahead of his. He will not accept anything less than our whole heart. Have you given God first place in your life?.
\nGod Who Thunders
\nEl Hir\u2018im \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d4\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e2\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd
\nJeremiah 51:15\u201316
\nHe made the earth by his power,
\nestablished the world by his wisdom
\nspread out the sky by his understanding.
\nWhen he thunders, the waters in heaven roar,
\nhe raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
\nhe makes the lightning flash in the rain
\nand brings the wind out from his storehouses.
\nJoel 4:16
\nAdonai will roar from Tziyon [Zion],
\nhe will thunder from Yerushalayim [Jerusalem],
\nthe sky and the earth will shake.
\nPsalm 29:3
\nThe voice of Adonai is over the waters; the God of glory thunders \u2026
\nJob 37:5
\n\u201cGod thunders wonderfully with his voice, he does great things beyond our understanding.\u201d
\nHave you ever been afraid of thunder and lightning? When thunder rolls and cracks of lightning split the night sky, the ground can shake and startle us. The next time you hear rolling thunder, turn to God and listen carefully. He might be trying to tell you something.
\nGod of Vengeance
\nEl N\u2019kamot \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e0\u05b0\u05e7\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea
\nEzekiel 25:16\u201317
\n\u201cAdonai Elohim [Lord God] says, \u2018I will stretch out my hand over the P\u2019lishtim [Philistines], eliminate the K\u2019reti [Kerethites] and destroy the rest of the seacoast peoples. I will execute great vengeance on them with furious punishments; and they will know that I am Adonai when I lay my vengeance on them.\u2019 \u201d
\nNahum 1:2
\nAdonai is a jealous and vengeful God.
\nAdonai avenges; he knows how to be angry.
\nAdonai takes vengeance on his foes
\nand stores up wrath for his enemies.
\nPsalm 94:1\u20132
\nGod of vengeance, Adonai!
\nGod of vengeance, appear!
\nAssert yourself as judge of the earth!
\nPay back the proud as they deserve!
\nRomans 12:19
\nNever seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God\u2019s anger; for in the Tanakh it is written,
\n\u201cAdonai says, \u2018Vengeance is my responsibility; I will repay.\u2019 \u201d
\nIt\u2019s tempting to want to get even when we are wronged, to hurt others as they hurt us. But God has a better way. The next time you feel like \u201cgetting back\u201d at someone, remember what God said, \u201cVengeance is my responsibility.\u201d
\nStronghold
\nMa\u2018oz \u05de\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05d6
\nNahum 1:7
\nAdonai is good,
\na stronghold in time of trouble;
\nhe takes care of those
\nwho take refuge in him.
\nJoel 4:16
\n\u2026 But Adonai will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Isra\u2019el.
\nPsalm 9:10
\nAdonai is stronghold for the oppresses a tower of strength in times of trouble.
\nPsalm 27:1
\nAdonai is my light and salvation;
\nwhom do I need to fear?
\nAdonai is the stronghold of my life;
\nof whom should I be afraid?
\nPsalm 37:39\u201340
\nAdonai is the one who saves the righteous;
\nhe is their stronghold in time of trouble.
\nAdonai helps them and rescues them,
\nrescues them from the wicked and saves them;
\nbecause they take refuge in him.
\nForts and walls built by men can be breached. But we have a stronghold that can never be moved or destroyed. The next time you need a secure place to go when difficulties abound, do not fear. God is your tower of strength in times of trouble.
\nGod of Signs and Wonders
\nEl Otot V\u2019moftim \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d0\u05b9\u05ea\u05b9\u05ea \u05d5\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05e4\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd
\nExodus 7:3
\n\u201cBut I will make him hardhearted. Even though I will increase my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.\u201d
\nDeuteronomy 26:8\u20139
\n\u201c\u2026 and Adonai brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders. Now he has brought us to this place and given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.\u201d
\nDaniel 3:33
\n\u201cHow great are his signs!
\nHow powerful his wonders!
\nHis kingdom lasts forever,
\nand he rules all generations.\u201d
\nActs 4:30, 15:12
\n\u201cStretch out your hand to heal and to do signs and miracles through the name of your holy servant Yeshua!\u201d
\nThen the whole assembly kept still as they listened to Bar-Nabba [Barnabas] and Sha\u2019ul [Paul] tell what signs and miracles God had done through them among the Gentiles.
\nWhen something miraculous happens, contradicting \u201cscientific\u201d laws, such as the recovery of someone close to death, it\u2019s often referred to as an \u201cact of God.\u201d Catastrophic events are often called \u201cacts of God\u201d as well. God can do anything to get our attention and declare his power. Is he trying to show you something today?

\nIsh Milchamah \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4
\nExodus 15:3
\n\u201cAdonai is a warrior;
\nAdonai is his name.\u201d
\nIsaiah 42:13
\nAdonai will go out like a soldier,
\nlike a soldier roused to the fury of battle;
\nhe will shout, yes, he raises the battle cry;
\nas he triumphs over his foes.
\nJeremiah 20:11
\nBut Adonai is with me like a dreaded warrior; so my persecutors will stumble, defeated, greatly ashamed because of their failure \u2026
\nPsalm 78:65\u201366
\nThen Adonai awoke, as if from sleep, like a warrior shouting for joy from wine. He struck his foes, driving them back and putting them to perpetual shame.
\nOur God is a triumphant Champion greater than any battle hero. He vanquishes his foes and strikes down all his enemies. And he wages war on our behalf. Put your trust in God and let him fight your battles for you.

\nDeuteronomy 7:8\u20139
\n\u201cRather, it was because Adonai loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that Adonai brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. From this you can know that Adonai your God is indeed God, the faithful God, who keeps his covenant and extends grace to those who love him and observe his mitzvot [commandments], to a thousand generations.\u201d
\n2 Chronicles 1:9\u201310
\n\u201cNow, Adonai, God, you have been faithful to your promise to David my father; for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the grains of dust on the earth. So now, give me wisdom and knowledge; so that I will be also to lead this people.\u2026\u201d
\n1 Thessalonians 5:24
\nThe one calling you is faithful, and he will do it.
\nLoyal and unwavering, steadfast and reliable, constant and dependable, upright and trustworthy, always keeps a promise. These are qualities of a faithful person\u2014and of God. He accomplishes everything he say he will do. Put your hope and trust in him. He will never let you down.
\nLord God of the Hebrews
\nAdonai Elohey Ha\u2018Ivriyim \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05bc\u05d9\u05dd
\nExodus 3:18, 7:15\u201316, 9:1, 10:3
\n\u201cThey will heed what you say. Then you will come, you and the leaders of Isra\u2019el, before the king of Egypt; and you will tell him, \u2018Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now, please, let us go three days\u2019 journey into the desert; so that we can sacrifice to Adonai our God.\u2019 \u201d
\n\u201cGo to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water. Stand on the riverbank to confront him, take in your hand the staff which was turned into a snake, and say to him, \u2018Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say: \u201cLet my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert.\u201d But until now you haven\u2019t listened.\u2019 \u201d
\nThen Adonai said to Moshe [Moses], \u201cGo to Pharaoh, and tell him, \u2018Here is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: \u201cLet my people go, so that they can worship me.\u2019 \u201d
\nMoshe and Aharon [Aaron] went in to Pharaoh and said to him, \u201cHere is what Adonai, God of the Hebrews, says: \u2018How much longer will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so that they can worship me.\u2019 \u201d
\nThe Egyptians learned the hard way. The God of the Hebrews was the one true God\u2014greater than Pharaoh, and more powerful than any of their man-made gods. The God of the Hebrews is still delivering his people. Are there any false gods in your life that are keeping you from worshiping him freely?
\nMy Portion
\nHelki \u05d7\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9
\nJeremiah 10:16
\nYa\u2018akov\u2019s [Jacob\u2019s] portion is not like these,
\nfor he is the one who formed all things.
\nIsra\u2019el is the tribe he claims as his heritage;
\nAdonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] is his name.
\nPsalm 16:5\u20136
\nAdonai, my assigned portion, my cup:
\nyou safeguard my share.
\nPleasant places were measured out for me;
\nI am content with my heritage.
\nPsalm 73:26
\nMy mind and my body may fail; but God is the rock for my mind and my portion forever
\nPsalm 142:6
\nI cried out to you, Adonai;
\nI said, \u201cYou are my refuge,
\nmy portion in the land of the living.\u201d
\nHave you ever felt like you didn\u2019t get what you deserved? Do you struggle finding contentment? Is it tempting to compare your life to the lives of others? Be encouraged. God is abundantly more than enough. He knows the \u201cportion\u201d you\u2019ve received and what you need even before you ask. He is all you need.
\nThe Rock
\nHaTzur \u05d4\u05b7\u05e6\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8
\nDeuteronomy 32:3\u20134
\n\u201cFor I will proclaim the Adonai.
\nCome, declare the greatness of our God!
\nThe Rock! His work is perfect,
\nfor all his ways are just.\u2026\u201d
\nIsaiah 26:3\u20134
\n\u201cA person whose desire rests on you you preserve in perfect peace, because he trusts in you. Trust in Adonai forever, because in Yah* Adonai is a Rock of Ages.\u201d
\nPsalm 144:1
\nBlessed be Adonai, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
\n1 Corinthians 10:3\u20134
\n\u2026 also they all ate the same food from the Spirit, and they all drank the same drink from the Spirit\u2014for they drank from a Spirit-sent Rock which followed them, and that Rock was the Messiah.
\nThe expression, \u201clike the rock of Gibraltar\u201d has come to mean something or someone that is impressive, dependable, steady, and immovable. God is our rock-solid place. Firmly plant your feet on The Rock and you will not be moved, no matter what storms of life come crashing your way.
\nBridegroom
\nHatan \u05d7\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05df
\nIsaiah 62:4\u20135
\nYou will no longer be spoken of as \u2018Azuvah [Abandoned] or your land be spoken of as \u2018Sh\u2019mamah [Desolate]; rather, you will be called Heftzi-Vah [My-Delight-Is-In-Her] and your land Be\u2018ulah [Married]. For Adonai delights in you, and your land will be married\u2014as a young man marries a young woman, your sons will marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride, your God will rejoice over you.
\nMatthew 9:14\u201315
\nNext, Yochanan\u2019s [John\u2019s] talmidim [disciples] came to him and asked, \u201cWhy is it that we and the P\u2019rushim [Pharisees] fast frequently, but your talmidim don\u2019t fast at all?\u201d Yeshua said to them, \u201cCan wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then they will fast.\u201d
\nIn a Jewish wedding ceremony, the bridegroom places a gold ring on the finger of his beloved and recites, \u201cBehold, you are sanctified [set apart] to me with this ring, according to the Law of Moses and of Israel.\u201d Yeshua is our Bridegroom. He rejoices over us, loves us, and has set us apart for himself.
\nTrue and faithful Witness
\n\u2018Ed Emet V\u2019ne\u2019eman \u05e2\u05b5\u05d3 \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b6\u05ea \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b6\u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b8\u05df
\nJeremiah 42:5
\nThey said to Yirmeyahu [Jeremiah], \u201cMay Adonai be a true and faithful witness against us if we fail to do any part of what Adonai your God gives you to tell us.\u201d
\nJohn 8:18
\n\u201cI myself testify on my own behalf, and so does the Father who sent me.\u201d
\nRomans 8:16
\nThe Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God.
\nRevelation 1:4\u20135
\n\u2026 Grace and shalom [peace] to you from the One who is, who was and who is coming; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne; and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the earth\u2019s kings.\u2026
\nRevelation 3:14
\n\u201cTo the angel of the Messianic Community in Laodicea, write: \u2018Here is the message from the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Ruler of God\u2019s creation.\u2019 \u201d
\nA witness testifies to what they have seen, heard, or experienced. Their personal knowledge of facts helps to acquit the innocent or indict the guilty. God, you know our thoughts and everything we have done. We\u2019re not blameless. Thank you for the testimony of Yeshua. Through faith in him, we are pronounced innocent.
\nRestorer
\nM\u2019shivah \u05de\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05d1\u05b8\u05d4
\nIsaiah 38:16
\n\u201cAdonai, by these things people live;
\nin all these is the life of my spirit.
\nYou\u2019re restoring my health and giving me life.\u201d
\nIsaiah 62:6\u20137
\nI have posted watchmen on your walls, Yerushalayim [Jerusalem]; they will never fall silent, neither by day nor by night. You who call on Adonai, give yourselves no rest; and give him no rest till he restores Yerushalayim and makes it a praise on earth.
\nPsalm 19:8
\nThe Torah [teaching] of Adonai is perfect, restoring the inner person.\u2026
\nActs 3:21
\nHe as to remain in heaven until the time comes for restoring everything, as God said long ago, when he spoke through the holy prophets.
\n1 Peter 5:10
\nYou will have to suffer only a little while; after that, God, who is full of grace, the one who called you to his eternal glory in union with the Messiah, will himself restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm.
\nHave you ever restored a piece of old furniture, stripping away the layers of paint and varnish that hid the beauty of the original wood? God is in the restoration business. Talk to him about the things in your life that need restoring. Let him bring out your hidden beauty and restore the worn places in your life.
\nFriend
\nOhev \u05d0\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d1
\nExodus 33:11
\nAdonai would speak to Moshe [Moses] face to face, as a man speaks his friend.\u2026
\n2 Chronicles 20:7
\n\u201cYou, our God, drove out those living in the land ahead of your people Isra\u2019el and gave it forever to the descendants of Avraham [Abraham] your friend.\u201d
\nLuke 5:20
\nWhen Yeshua saw their trust, he said, \u201cFriend, your sins are forgiven you.\u201d
\nJames 2:23
\n\u2026 and the passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled which says, \u201cAvraham had faith in God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness.\u201d He was even called God\u2019s friend.
\nFaithful friends are hard to find. But we have a Friend who will never reject us, move away, or desert us in times of trouble. We have a Friend who is loyal and true, always available, and there when we need to talk, a friend who sticks right by us. Thank you God, for being my friend.
\nGod of Our Fathers
\nElohey Avoteynu \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc
\nExodus 3:6
\n\u201cI am the God of your father,\u201d he continued, \u201cthe God of Avraham [Abraham], the God of Yitz\u2019chak [Isaac] and the God of Ya\u2018akov [Jacob].\u201d Moshe [Moses] covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
\nDeuteronomy 26:7\u20138
\n\u201cSo we cried out to Adonai, the God of our ancestors. Adonai heard us and saw our misery, toil and oppression; and Adonai brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders.\u201d
\n1 Chronicles 29:18
\n\u201cAdonai, God of Avraham, Yitz\u2019chak and Isra\u2019el our ancestors, guard forever the inclinations of the thoughts in the hearts of your their hearts to you.\u201d
\nActs 5:30
\nThe God of our fathers raised up Yeshua \u2026
\nActs 22:14
\n\u201cHe said, \u2018The God of our fathers determined in advance that you should know his will, see the Tzaddik [Righteous One] and hear his voice.\u2019 \u201d
\nThe God that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob called their own is still our God today. He revealed himself to them and their descendents. He delivered the children of Israel from slavery and has always been faithful to work mightily on behalf of all those who call on him. Call on him today.
\nMy Chosen One
\nB\u2019chiri \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9
\nIsaiah 42:1
\n\u201cHere is my servant, whom I support, my chosen one, in whom I take pleasure. I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring justice to the Goyim [nations].\u201d
\nLuke 23:35
\nThe people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at him. \u201cHe saved others,\u201d they said, \u201cso if he really is the Messiah, the one chosen by God, let him save himself!\u201d
\n1 Peter 2:4\u20136
\nAs you come to him, the living stone, rejected by people but chosen by God and precious to him, you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be cohanim [priests] set apart for God to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to him through Yeshua the Messiah. This is why the Tanakh says,
\n\u201cLook! I am laying in Tziyon [Zion] a stone,
\na chosen and precious cornerstone;
\nand whoever rests his trust on it
\nwill certainly not be humiliated.\u201d
\nChosen\u2014called, selected, favored, and set apart for a special purpose. Throughout the Scriptures, we read about individuals who were chosen to serve God and declare his glory. Often, their paths were difficult and filled with suffering. God. thank you for Yeshua, the One chosen to suffer. Through him, we see your glory.
\nVery Great Reward
\nS\u2019khar Harbeh M\u2019od \u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05db\u05b8\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d1\u05b5\u05bc\u05d4 \u05de\u05b0\u05d0\u05b9\u05d3
\nGenesis 15:1
\nSome time later the word of Adonai came to Avram [Abram] in a vision: \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, Avram. I am your protector; your reward will be very great.\u201d
\nSamuel 26:23
\n\u201cAdonai will give every person a reward suited to his uprightness and faithfulness.\u2026\u201d
\nIsaiah 40:10
\n\u201cHere comes Adonai Elohim [ Lord God] with power, and his arm will rule for him. Look! His reward is with him, and his recompense is before him\u201d.
\nMatthew 5:12
\n\u201cRejoice, be glad,because your reward in heaven is great\u2026\u201d
\nHebrews 10:35\u201336
\nSo don\u2019t throw away that courage of yours, which carries with it such a great reward. For you need to hold out; so that, by having done what God wills, you may receive what he has promised.
\nRewards are given for acts of service, for helping to find a criminal or a lost puppy. The prefix \u201cre\u201d indicates that by their very nature, they are a return or recompense for something we have done. The rewards of this life pale in comparison to what God will give to those who follow him faithfully.
\nMy Hope
\nTikvati \u05ea\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05d5\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9
\nPsalm 52:11
\nI will praise you forever for what you have done, and I will put my hope in your name; for this is what is good in the presence of your faithful.
\nPsalm 71:5
\nFor you are my hope, Adonai Elohim [Lord God], in whom I have trusted since I was young.
\nRomans 15:13
\nMay God, the source of hope, fill you completely with joy and shalom [peace] as you continue trusting, so that by the power of the Ruach Hakodesh [Holy Spirit] you may overflow with hope.
\nHebrews 6:18\u201319
\n\u2026 so that through two unchangeable things, in neither of which God could lie, we, who have fled to take a firm hold on the hope set before us, would be strongly encouraged. We have this hope as a sure and safe anchor for ourselves.\u2026
\n1 Peter 1:3\u20134
\nPraised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who, in keeping with his great mercy, has caused us, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead, to be born again to a living hope, to an inheritance that cannot decay, spoil or fade, kept safe for you in heaven.
\nHave you ever been disappointed? Have you ever lost heart, hoping for something that did not come about? To hope means to look forward to something, or trust in someone with confidence and expectation. We have a God that will never disappoint us when we put our hope in him.
\nGod Who Remembers
\nEl Zokher \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d6\u05d5\u05b9\u05db\u05b5\u05e8
\nGenesis 8:1
\nGod remembered Noach [Noah], every living thing and all the livestock with him in the ark; so God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water began to go down.
\nGenesis 19:29
\nBut when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Avraham [Abraham] and sent Lot out, away from the destruction, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
\nExodus 2:23\u201325
\nSometime during those many years the king of Egypt died, but the people of Isra\u2019el still groaned under the yoke of slavery, and they cried out, and their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Avraham, Yitz\u2019chak [Isaac] and Ya\u2018akov [Jacob]. God saw the people of Isra\u2019el, and God acknowledged them.
\nIsaiah 49:14\u201316
\n\u201cBut Tziyon [Zion] says, \u2018Adonai has abandoned
\nme, Adonai has forgotten me.\u2019
\nCan a woman forget her child at the breast, not show pity on the child from her womb? Even if these were to forget, I would not forget you.
\nI have engraved you on the palms of my hands \u2026\u201d
\nHave you ever felt that God has forgotten you? Have you been waiting a long time to see the fulfillment of a promise he made? Trust in God. He is absolutely incapable of forgetting about you. You are engraved on the palms of his hands.
\nHusband
\nBa\u2019al \u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc
\nIsaiah 54:5
\nFor your husband is your Maker, Adonai-Tzva\u2019ot [Lord of Hosts] is his name.\u2026
\nJeremiah 31:30\u201331
\n\u201cHere, the days are coming,\u201d says Adonai, \u201cwhen I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra\u2019el and with the house of Y\u2019hudah [Judah]. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them,\u201d says Adonai.
\n2 Corinthians 11:2
\nFor I am jealous for you with God\u2019s kind of jealousy; since I promised to present you as a pure virgin in marriage to your one husband, the Messiah.
\nThe heartbreak of a shattered marriage, an unfaithful spouse, or a lost love\u2014many have experienced such pain. But we have a Husband who always cares for, provides for, and protects us. He will never leave. He will always remain faithful to his marriage covenant with us.
\nMy Beloved
\nY\u2019didi \u05d9\u05b0\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9
\nMatthew 3:13, 16\u201317
\nThen Yeshua came from the Galil [Galilee] to the Yarden [Jordan] to be immersed by Yochanan [John].\u2026 As soon as Yeshua had been immersed, he came up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, he saw the Spirit of God coming down upon him like a dove, and a voice from heaven said, \u201cThis is my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him.\u201d
\nMatthew 12:18
\n\u201cHere is my servant, whom I have chosen,
\nmy beloved, with whom I am well pleased;
\nI will put my Spirit on him,
\nand he will announce justice to the Gentiles.\u201d
\nMark 9:2, 7\u20138
\nSix days later, Yeshua took Kefa [Peter], Ya\u2018akov [James] and Yochanan and led them up a high mountain privately. As they watched, he began to change form \u2026 Then a cloud enveloped them; and a voice came out of the cloud, \u201cThis is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!\u201d Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Yeshua.
\nEphesians 1:5\u20136
\nHe determined in advance that through Yeshua the Messiah we would be his sons\u2014in keeping with his pleasure and purpose\u2014so that we would bring him praise commensurate with the glory of the grace he gave us through the Beloved One.
\nCan you call Yeshua your Beloved? Does saying that come easily to you or make you uncomfortable? Have you experienced God\u2019s love? If not, ask him to reveal himself to you today. He longs for you to know his love.
\nThe Prophet
\nHa Navi \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05b8\u05bc\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d0
\nDeuteronomy 18:15\u201319
\n\u201cAdonai will raise up for you a prophet like me from among yourselves, from your own kinsmen. You are to pay attention to him, just as when you were assembled at Horev [Horeb] and requested Adonai your God, \u2018Don\u2019t let me hear the voice of Adonai my God any more, or let me see this great fire ever again; if I do, I will die!\u2019 On that occasion Adonai said to me, \u201cThey are right in what they are saying. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I order him. Whoever doesn\u2019t listen to my words, which he will speak in my name, will have to account for himself to me.\u2019 \u201d
\nJohn 6:14
\nWhen the people saw the miracle he had performed, they said, \u201cThis has to be \u2019the prophet\u2019 who is supposed to come into the world.\u201d
\nJohn 7:40\u201341
\nOn hearing his words, some people in the crowd said, \u201cSurely this man is \u2018the prophet\u2019 \u201d; others said, \u201cThis is the Messiah.\u201d \u2026
\nMediums, astrologers, and card-readers. Some people will pay anything for false information about their future. But God\u2019s standard for prophetic accuracy is 100%. Listen to Yeshua, The Prophet. All of his words are true. God holds your future in his hands.

\nIsaiah 48:12\u201313
\n\u201cListen to me, Ya\u2018akov [Jacob]: Isra\u2019el, whom I have called; I am he who is first; I am also the last. My hand laid the foundation of the earth, my right hand spread our the heavens when I summoned them, at once they rose into being.\u201d

\nWhen I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand upon me and said, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid ! I am the First and the Last, the Living One. I was dead, but look!\u2014I am alive forever and ever!\u2026\u201d
\nRevelation 22:12\u201313
\n\u201cPay attention!\u201d [says Yeshua,] \u201cI am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done. I am the \u2018A\u2019 and the \u2018Z,\u2019 the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.\u201d
\nThere was never a time when God didn\u2019t exist. He is the beginning and the end. He is first because he always was, he is last because he will always be, and he is everything in between. He is wonderful and his names are wonderful so worship and praise him with all of your heart!
