MY TOP FAVORITE SONGS

I was listening to some of my favorite songs tonight and thought to share some of them with you. I listen to a range of good Yahshua centered music; but I must make an admission that the ones I'm going to share tonight are my very best. They seem to bring my poor and tempted soul into the very presence of Yahshua.......The KING OF GLORY.


My Favorites:

1. Love Lifted Me -----(by Beth Horton Barnard)-----from the CD Joy Overflowing {which I'm listening to now} and on a scale of 1-10 it gets an easy<----> {do you understand that?}. It speaks of the INFINITE LOVE of YAHSHUA firstly, and then of my life in response to that Love.......HE is Infinite in love.....and this song ....the music .....the voice ....lifts the soul to the very presence of Infinite Love and Ultimate kindness........Amein, Amein.....( I listen to this song 4or 5 times and I never get weary of hearing it......it is ABSOLUTELY wonderful.

2.  The Only Key----(by Beth Horton Barnard)----from the CD Joy Overflowing.......This transports the faithful listener to the Future immortal home through the precious blood of Yahshua----The Only Key to Shamayim (Heaven).

3. This Is The Day Which The Lord Has Made------(by Beth Horton Barnard)----from the CD Joy Overflowing........Words are simply too feeble to tell of the Sweetness of YAHSHUA'S Love as portrayed in this song......I'm sorry please forgive me.....I cannot speak out the sweetness of Him who is Wonderful in Power and Love....Infinite In wisdom.....I'm sorry........It sings of Yahshua being the Rose of Sharon.....again this gets a 20 of 10. As a matter of fact the essence of Yahshua's love that this song captures is <....> if you can comprehend that symbol. (meditate upon Yahshua  in the Shamayim and you will see Him there) by faith

4.  The next song is a  song but not a song but an excellent video of animal choreography..set to music; the most blessed, which speaks of The MASTER CREATOR YAHSHUA  Himself; for no other can Create and none other can love creation like HIM. And if I think of the horrendous things being done to our animals that YHWH made when I bear this song/video clip in mind I weep.....for YHWH to have to see such cruelty to them is almost more than I can bear to see. The video is per excellent. It can be found at ....http://www.godofwondersvideo.org/chapter1.htm    IF you see this you'll NEVER be the same again.

5.  Hallelujah! What a Savior---byMathew Burtner.....The Sands of Time Are Sinking, I Could Not Do Without Thee......all are on the Instrumental CD Hear My Prayer......What else can I say.....but Absolutely beautiful Music.....All about our Savior and His LOVE for US.

There you have it everyone; my absolute favorites. Most all songs of Yahshua and His Cross are winners with me; if done right.

I've been taking some of this music with me on my daily journeys to the secret prayer retreats; and playing them as I look out at the vast expanse of ocean, and sky. Sometimes I just listen to the birds and sounds of nature as all things happen along on the air, ocean, and grass of a new dawn of the Savior's love and compassion to us. 

Shalom My friends and Good Night.......for the day cometh......and also the night.....amein amein....

SUPREME DEATH TO SUPREME LIFE....THE COMING CRISIS

For all you new comers I thought it good to introduce you; by way of this re- post of  the introduction to Arrested For Sedition. (my sister blog) I hope you are spiritually fed from the stream of love that follows from our Elohim and His dearly beloved Yahshua; the King of Glory.

Shalom In Messiah.

It was midnight,and the darkest hour in earth's history had come; the brightness of the full moon made distinct the forms of 12 men in a secluded garden; the Leader, had concluded His final struggle with the hidden powers of darkness, He had gained His final endowment of strength to meet His final cup of suffering.....and now He stands, in advance of His followers, to meet the armed policemen, who had for years thirsted for His blood.

The alleged crime was sedition against the government. The place of arrest, Gethsemane,the One arrested Yeshua of Nazareth, the verdict, guilty, the punishment........DEATH BY CRUCIFIXION.

Arrested, Tried, & Crucified by murderous hands, this is the story about the greatest crime ever committed, by the greatest number of murderers ever convicted, by the most corrupt court ever convined, towards the greatest King ever born, and the most innocent defendant whoever stood trail.

I invite you to join me on this journey of rediscovery of the facts surrounding the arrest, trial, and condemnation of Yeshua of Nazareth. This is not only a retelling of the story, familiar to some, but we seek to acquaint you with new, and fresh insights and new revelations into the crime, the crime scene, and its importance to us today.

We seek to draw clear and distinct parallels, between Yeshua's arrest, and the coming arrest of all who; like Him, are bought to court for charges of which they are not guilty. We explore the questions of why is the details of His arrest, trial and death sentence important to us? What will be the charges of all who follow Him here in the end of time be? Who will bring the charges against us? And for What purpose? Who would be the Judas? Who would be the Judges, who would be the executioners of our time as we prepare for the reenactment (on a world wide scale) of the same scenes presented in Yeshua's arrest, trial and death.

  What was His response to all the false allegations, His betrayer, to His denier, to His enemies, to His sympathizer's, and His friends......and what should our responses be?   All this, and more, we wish to acquaint  you with, so we can all have the kind of practical spiritual preparation required to meet the coming crisis..... as Yeshua did.

A WONDERFUL PROPHECY PT.2

Shalom to you all. If you've not read part one of this teaching we suggest that you do before continuing with this post.

In our previous post we had established a starting point for the beginning of the prophecy of Dan. 9 But the 70weeks of Dan. 9 are a part of the longer 2300 evenings and mornings of Dan 8.[ Please request for more information on this point and I'll be happy to share]

Now, when we are studying prophecies of the Scriptures we find that in the same Word of YHWH that there are certain principles that must be understood. The 70weeks are weeks of days. Once we understand this we can quickly determine the number of days spoken of by the  time prophecy principle.

In B'midvar 14: 34 (Num.)  we find that in YHWH appointed the children of Israel 40yrs of punishment according to the number of days they had searched the land of Canaan and bought back an evil report. (this was a prophecy. In Y'chizki'el 4:6 (Eze.) we have another prophecy given by YHWH to the house of Judah referring to days as years.


"After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." B'midvar 14: 34 (Num.)
"And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year." Y'chizki'el 4:6 (Eze.)

From these two witnesses of the time prophecy principle we now proceed with the application.

We found in our previous post the the decree of Ezra 7:11-26 is the decree which begins this prophecy. 70weeks = 490 days. 490prophetic days= 490 literal years. From 457BC to the Messiah we have 69wks=483 prophetic days= 483 literal years. ("....from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks..." Dan.9:25)

Now we can test the principle of prophetic time interpretation by the veracity of it's fulfillment.  From 457BC we add 483 years which = 26AD now we add 1yr. because year 0 is not counted in a straight addition. (In other words there was no year 0. We go from 1BC to 1AD so we must add a year.

We come to 27AD. Must Bible scholars would agree that 27AD was the year in which Yahshua Ha Meshiach was baptized and commenced with his public ministry. Thus we see Yahshua acknowledging this when He said that "....The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.Yochanan-Makabi 1:15 (Mk.)

"Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." T'hilim 102:13 (Ps.)
To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; Kehilat 3:1,2 (Eccl.)

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (Gal. 4:4)

"....a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment." Kehilat 8:5

Praise be to YHWH who is wonderful in counsel....infinite in wisdom.....and mighty in power!

A MOST WONDERFUL PROPHECY

After gaining a most crucial victory over ha Satan in the wilderness of temptation and being ministered unto by holy angels of YHWH; Yahshua's great heart of love is directed toward us; the object of His love and mission.


"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."  Yochanan-Makabi 1:14-15 (Mk.) 

Notice that as He commenced His ministry a reference is made to time being fulfilled. What can be the significance of this statement? To what was Yahshua referring? Are there any Prophecies in the Tanakh which refer the time when Messiah was to appear? For we cannot look at any other Scriptures because the B'rit Chadashah (Heb. for New Covenant) had not yet been written.

In the book of Dani'el (Daniel) chapter 9 there is a portion of Scripture which speaks to this very topic.

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 

In the vision of Daniel 9 The angel Gabriel makes known to Daniel that 70weeks are determined upon Israel (of which the holy city was the center of religious worship). All of Israel were connected with the sanctuary services; for, according to the Torah, any person who would not participate in the yearly services did not have their sins forgiven, and on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) if any did not participate in afflicting their souls before YHWH; as part of the final service for the religious year,  they were cut off from among the people. V'yakra 23:28,29 (Lev.)  So the 70weeks was given as a probationary period for Israel to get right with YHWH as a nation. Many chances had been given them to prove their faithfulness to Him and thus meet the great destiny which YHWH had purposed for them to have. By the end of this period; transgression, an end of sins, reconciliation for iniquities (or lawlessness), the bringing in of everlasting righteousness, the sealing up of the vision, and the anointing of the most holy, where all pointing to the time when the types in the sacrificial services would be met by the great anti-type; Yahshua Messiah.

However, we want to get to the time prophecy which deals specifically with Messiah's appearing. The prophecy distinctly states that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be 7weeks, threescore (60wks), and 2 weeks.

Simply stated, from the time the decree which gives the Jews the authority to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and, to give them their nationhood back, to the Messiah would be 69wks.

TWO POINTS TO BE MADE:

At the time of the prophecy the Jews where still in captivity. They where about to be reinstated in there own land.

The decree of Ezra 7:11-26 gives the final and complete authorization for the rebuilding of the Temple and Jerusalem. This decree was given by Artaxerxes(surnamed Long-handed)  the Persian King who issued this decree in 457BC.

Now that we have a starting point; we need to make one more observation before making the application of  the time prophecy.
