¿Did you know, Yeshua is returning soon, here in Jerusalem? While you wait: music player is on the top, playlist button is on the far right, & lots of intriguing articles below, after the fold. May you rest, relax, and be at peace.
How much can you get done before sunset on the sixth day each week?
Is it possible to clear the desk by then?
How would it feel to put off the rest of the cleaning for 24 hours – and have a valid excuse for doing so?
Can we finish the cooking by sunset, and then relax and just eat leftovers for a day?
Seems pretty easy, actually. Why fight it?
The Earth has operated on a seven-day cycle since the beginning of time.
Nothing in the Bible has changed that.
Nothing engraved in stone has changed that.
Throughout time, there have always been those who have counted the days since the previous Shabbat. They have counted the days left until the upcoming Shabbat.
They have ceased from their labors, as YAH ceased from His labors, from sunset on the sixth day until sunset at the end of the seventh day.
In world history, exactly zero cultures have established anything other than a seven-day week. Except for China, with an experimental 10-day week which didn’t work out so well. Apparently, the factory workers were all worn out, and productivity decreased.
Why the universal historical acceptance of the seven-day week? Why not eight? Or five?
How interesting, that ancient cultures never even considered changing YAH’s command. YHWH has Blessed and Set Apart (made Kadosh; made Holy) the Seventh Day for all generations, for all tribes, and for all time (Genesis/B’resheet 2:3).
Join the ancient tradition of counting the days. Everyone is welcome. What will you choose?

Some people have great faith in the Creator; others, not so much. Why this difference? I will give a few examples to show that great faith comes from internalizing His Great Faithfulness. He is now gathering His people back to the Land not for the people’s good behavior but for His Name (Ezek 20:44; 36:22,32). And He will not allow the people to be scattered again (Amos 9:15). We see from the Ezekiel passages that His Word is True; therefore, it’s not a huge leap to believe that Amos 9:15 is also true. YHWH promised He would regather His people Israel back to the Land, and wow, look! He’s done it (1948). That’s the big picture and yet there are issues we face in our lives where we must personally rely upon His faithfulness to lead and guide us every step. (Isa. 30:20-21). I refer to these prophecies simply to show that my faith is based upon His record of being faithful, in the history of Israel and in personal life. Yes, we all know that Israel has been disobedient and has suffered as a result (Dvarim/Deut. 28) but YAH would never forsake His own child (Isaiah 49:14-16). Continuing on thru verse 26 that He will multiply His people upon the Land once again, and the oppressors’ violent deeds will come to nothing. Again, this has nothing to do with Israel’s behavior or obedience; notwithstanding, Israel will respond to His love and mercy with her obedience (Ezekiel 11:16-21; 36:17-31, Isaiah 66:23).

“Lifting up the Name of Yeshua in Israel and in the Nations”
Recently, Israel endured weeks of increased rocket fire from Gaza, and anti-tank fire against a jeep routinely patrolling Israel’s side of the fence. A Hamas rocket landed on a home in Kiryat Malachi, killing 3 Israelis. Israel suffered like this for weeks before responding with surgical attacks against Hamas launch sites and operatives in Gaza. At no point has Israel responded by carpet bombing residential areas in Gaza.
Whenever this sort of thing occurs, Israel claims self defense, while Hamas and their sympathizers claim that Israel’s military actions are illegal. Hamas and their sympathizers claim that it is moral for them to bomb Israeli civilians, but immoral for Israel to attack Hamas militants.
The argument normally goes like this:
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “Israel’s existence is illegal.”
Answer: “No. The State of Israel was ratified by a legal vote of the United Nations in 1947.”
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “The UN vote was wrong, because the Holocaust never happened.”
Answer: “Everyone knows that the Holocaust happened. The USA and Britain sacrificed their young men to fight against Hitler and end the Holocaust. The German record books of death camps have been opened to the public.”
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “No! The Holocaust is a huge lie perpetrated by America, the Jews, and the Zionist Entity!”
Answer: OK, now you sound like an idiot. The Holocaust is undeniable.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “End the occupation of Gaza!”
Answer: Israel ended the occupation in 2005 and relocated hundreds of Jewish families out of there.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “End the occupation of Gaza!”
Answer: Even Hamas admitted that the Israeli occupation has ended.
“In 2012, the co-founder of Hamas, Rahul, stated that Gaza was no longer occupied.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip
“‘Against whom could we demonstrate in the Gaza Strip? When Gaza was occupied, that model was applicable,’ Zahar said.” Retrieved from Ma’an News Agency, January 5, 2012
http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=449619
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “Well, then stop the blockade of Gaza.”
Answer: International Law permits a naval blockade when necessary to protect people from those trying to kill them. The blockade began when Hamas took power in 2007. Either vote Hamas out of office in Gaza, or change the Hamas Charter which says “destroy Israel.”
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “Israel deserves to be destroyed! They stole the land!”
Answer: It was never your land. It was under Ottoman rule from about 1500 until 1917, and then under British rule from 1917 to 1947. Your people were allowed to live on the land, but the land did not belong to you. You had no sovereign government of your own.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “But, my grandparents had land.”
Answer: Only by Turkish and British permission. But they also allowed Jews to have land, so this is irrelevant.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “The Turks and the British were obligated to allow Arabs to have land, because it is rightfully Arab land.”
Answer: No one managed to convince the Turks or the British to forbid the Jews from living on the land. These empires allowed it, and no one could say otherwise. At any rate, the Ottoman Turks are gone now (WWI), same with the British as custodians of the Land (WWII); therefore what those empires allowed in their day has since bowed to the UN vote of 1947, a Jewish homeland.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “The land belongs to Mohammed and the Jews cannot have one inch of it.”
Answer: Sorry, but the majority of the world disagrees with you. As was seen in the UN vote of 1947.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “But Israel forces Gazans to live in that jail, suffering, with no food and water.”
Answer: Gaza also shares a border with Egypt; so it’s not Israel’s responsibility alone. Israel transfers truckloads of food, supplies, toys, etc. every day. Israel supplies electricity and gas to Gaza even though Gaza shows no appreciation. There is actually no humanitarian crisis in Gaza despite statements to the contrary.
UN Vote:
It’s true that the Arab states voted against the establishment of a Jewish Homeland as a bloc, so therefore the Arab states do not like the results of the vote; this however, does not make the vote illegal, nor does it render the State of Israel illegal. It’s time for the Arab states to cut their losses and stop being crybabies. Arab states lost the vote in 1947. It’s time you accept that fact instead of carrying on with this non-acceptance of the UN vote.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “We will never accept the UN vote. Israel must die.”
Answer: Military actions taken against a member state of the UN are illegal. It is the illegal existence of Hamas that must end, the UN member state known as Israel is quite legal according to International Law.
PA/Hamas sympathizers: “But the international community is wrong. The whole world needs to accept Sharia Law, which states that a Jewish state cannot exist.”
Answer: We think not. That is the root of our disagreement right there.
And, you’ve just switched from a political argument to a religious argument.
To give a religious answer: Sura 5:21 of the Koran/Quran states that Israel is the land for the Jewish people.
“Prof. Khaleel Mohammed, Islamic Law scholar of the San Diego State University, noted that Sura 5 verse 21 of the Qur’an, and the medieval exegetes of the Qur’an, say that Israel belongs to the Jews.”

“Lifting up the Name of Yeshua
in Israel and in the Nations”
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim. (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
Messiah is the Lamb that was slain (1 Cor 5:7) to keep the death angel away: Worthy is the Lamb!
1 Cor 5:8 clearly writes to the Church: “Therefore let us keep the [Passover] Feast…” Going leaven-free for one week is also a metaphor for removing sin from our lives – according to the entire Chapter 5 of 1 Corinthians. 
So, to summarize the dates:
• Passover begins just before sunset on the 14th of the First Month (April 5, 2012).
• That’s the time to have the Seder meal, including Unleavened Bread, since the 15h of Aviv starts at sunset and is the First Day of Unleavened Bread.
• Feast of Unleavened Bread (FULB) lasts 7 days: from sunset April 5 til April 12 at sunset.
• The last day is a High Shabbat.
Purge out from you the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are unleavened. For our Passover is the Mashiyach, who was slain for us. Therefore let us celebrate the Festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity. I wrote to you by letter, not to mingle with sexual sinners. But I say not, with the sexual sinners who are in the world… that you don’t mix, if anyone is called a brother and is a sexual sinner, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a charlatan, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread… and remove you the wickedness from among you. (1 Corinthians 5:7-13 AENT)

Matthew Chapter 1
1. The book of the genealogy of Y’shua the Mashiyach,the son of Dawid, the son of Awraham.
2. Awraham fathered Yitz’chak, Yitz’chak fathered Ya’akov. Ya’akov fathered Yehuda and his brothers. 3. Yehuda fathered Peretz and Zarakh by Thamar. Peretz fathered Khetzron. 4. Khetzron fathered Aram. Aram fathered Amminadav, Amminadav fathered, Nekhshon. Nekhshon fathered Salmon. 5. Salmon fathered Bo’az by Rachav, Bo’az fathered Awbed by Rawth, Awbed fathered Ishai. 6. Ishai fathered Dawid the king. Dawid fathered Shlemon by the wife of Awrea. 7. Shlemon fathered Rechav’am, Rechav’am fathered Aviyah, Aviyah fathered Asa. 8. Asa fathered Yahoshapat, Yahoshapat fathered Yoram, Yoram fathered Uziyahu. 9. Uziyahu fathered Yotham, Yotham fathered Akhaz, Akhaz fathered Hizkiyahu. 10. Hizkiyahu fathered M’nasheh, M’nasheh fathered Amon, Amon fathered Yoshiyahu. 11. Yoshiyahu fathered Yochanyahu and his brothers in the captivity of Bavel. 12. And after the captivity now of Bavel, Yochanyahu fathered Sh’altiel, Sh’altiel fathered Zerubavel. 13. Zerubavel fathered Awiud, Awiud fathered Elyakim, Elyakim fathered Azor. 14. Azor fathered Tzadoq. Tzadoq fathered Achin, Achin fathered El’ichud. 15. El’ichud fathered El’azar, El’azar fathered Matan, Matan fathered Ya’akov. 16. Ya’akov fathered Yosip, the guardian* of Maryam, from whom was born Y’shua, who is called the Mashiyach. 17. Therefore, all the generations from Awraham until Dawid were fourteen generations, from Dawid to the captivity were fourteen generations and from the captivity of Bavel until the Mashiyach were fourteen generations. 18. Now the birth of Y’shua, the Mashiyach, was like this: While Maryam his mother was betrothed to Yosip, without them being united, she was found pregnant by the Ruach haKodesh. 19. But Yosip, her husband was just and did not desire to expose her, yet he was thinking in secret that he would dismiss her. (Matt. 1:1-19 AENT).
Greek NT comes under accusation with blatant mistakes as found in Matthew 1. Verse 17 asserts that the generation count must be 14, 14, & 14, and yet in Greek verses 12-16, one can only find 13 generations, including Y’shua. In the Aramaic Peshitta NT, the v.16 Yosip is Maryam’s father, not husband: Problem resolved. Secondly, if she is attached to the Davidic line only by marriage as written in Greek, then her offspring cannot be the Messiah. The Peshitta (Eastern Aramaic) text of the New Testament fixes all this.
Third, the Peshitta distinguishes the first Yosip (v.16) from the second (v.19), so the contradiction with Luke 3:23 disappears. Fourth, see Matt. 8:9 for another usage of “gowra” as “father” rather than “husband.” Lastly, note that it is inappropriate to double any name in an attempt to balance the Greek lists.
* The word gowra designates a protector-male or guardian; the context of this verse determines its specific meaning. Y’shua elsewhere says “which one of gowra, if he has a son…(Mt.7:9),” obviously “father” is intended.
