To Everything There is A Season…
“To everything there is a season, a Time for every Purpose under Heaven….A time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted….A time to break down and a time to BUILD up; A time to weep, and a time to LAUGH; a time to mourn and a time to DANCE….A time to keep SILENCE and a TIME to SPEAK!” Kohelet/Ecclesiastes 1:1,7b
My time to keep silent is about over and I WILL NOT REST NOR BE SILENT ANYMORE but will SPEAK/ SING the WORD of YHVH that He has placed within my bones that burn as a FIRE within me! I will DANCE freely and PRAISE and SHOUT as king David did long ago, B”H, with God’s help!
For this is what YHVH says: “I had come amongst you through My servant, as a gentle lamb loving you, embracing you, singing over you, teaching you, encouraging you and treating you as sons and daughters of the KING; but many of you repaid My love with your hatred, and cast Me out as an unclean thing! Well, now I will be amongst you as a Lion, says YHVH, as the LION of the Tribe of Judah/Yehudah and I will ROAR and NOT keep SILENT, and you will NOW be the one who is cast out and LEFT out of My KINGDOM and the works thereof; unless you REPENT and bear FRUIT worthy of your REPENTANCE!”
“Then ADONAI awoke as from sleep, like a Mighty Man Who shouts because of Wine. And He beat back His enemies; He put them to a perpetual reproach….And He built His Sanctuary/Mikdash like the Heights, like the earth which He has established forever. He also CHOSE David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the ewes that had young He brought him to shepherd Jacob His People, and Israel His Inheritance!” Tehilim/Psalm 78:65,66,69-72
“Then YHVH sent forth His Hand and touched my mouth, and YHVH said to me: “Behold, I have put My Words into your mouth. See, I have THIS DAY set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to BUILD and to PLANT!” Jeremiah 1:9-10
You see folks, Hashem is NOW ready to PERFORM/DO/ACT UPON His WORD which He has spoken by the mouth of His Prophets of old!
“I know that whatever GOD/ HaElohim does, it shall be forever! Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it! Ha’Elohim/ God does it, that men should FEAR before HIM! That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been’ and God/ HaElohim requires an account of what is past!” Kohelet Gimel/Ecclesiastes 3:14-15
There are those in the religious world who will NOW judge me as a Show-off, as one who’s out to draw attention to himself instead of to the SOURCE [YHVH] because I unashamedly praise my Master and KING in the Spirit of Liberty and in TRUTH for the world to see! Well, just as the saying goes: “Damned if you do; damned if you don’t!” That is the exact reason why I have learned over the years that whatever it is that I do; I will do ONLY as unto the LORD and NOT as unto men, and it is before Hashem only and NOT before men that I do what I am CALLED and CHOSEN to do! As David penned in Tehilim/the Psalms: “My Soul shall make its BOAST in YHVH; the HUMBLE shall hear of it and be glad!” Psalm 34
But the proud and arrogant who don’t FEAR YHVH will despise and gnash at me with their teeth! Just as Michal, David’s wife accused King David of the same thing practically when he danced before YHVH bringing in the Ark of the Covenant to set it in its rightful Place in the midst of the Tabernacle/HaOhel in the City of David with loud singing and praising and dancing and the sound of the Shofar/Trumpet, and Michal said to him: “Oh! How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids and of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!’ So David said to Michal, “It was before YHVH, who CHOSE ME instead of your father and all his house to be ruler over the people of YHVH, over Israel. Therefore I will play MUSIC before YHVH. And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in Honor.” See 2 Samuel/Shmuel Bet 6… As you know the rest of the story Michal, the daughter of Shaul (the old order/religious system) had NO children to the day of her death. In other words, she bore no fruit the rest of her life for harboring hatred in her heart towards David and for failing to recognize the work of YHVH in David; but instead she despised David hence despising YHVH Himself and His Sovereign Choice! Beware of this heart attitude towards God’s Chosen Vessels in this last hour, for you will have to give an account to HaKadosh Baruch Hu for mistreating them and for sure you too will become barren, bearing no children, and no fruit especially spiritually in the things that pertain to the KINGDOM of Heaven!
It is mind boggling to me to see how we so often flippantly mistreat people, especially God’s servants and somehow expect to be treated fairly and respectfully in return when things start to turn around; and they always do! Don’t you know that one reaps whatever it is that he/she sows? That’s a natural and spiritual law that will never EVER change!
And do you not know what is written in the Torah that you are to be careful to heed the Messenger of YHVH for He is called by YHVH’s name and will not forgive your transgressions against him? Haven’t you learned how Joseph’s brothers mistreatment of him eventually came back on them humbling them before all of Egypt? Even if it takes years, be sure your sin will find you out and you will pay for every evil deed; unless you make it right and make T’shuva NOW! And what will you say in that day when you are humbled before everyone to see? Get right NOW with YHVH and with your neighbor whom you have sinned against in your heart and in deed or be JUDGED for that is the Heritage of the servants of YHVH!
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and EVERY tongue which rises against you in JUDGMENT you (servants of YHVH) shall CONDEMN! THIS IS THE HERITAGE of the SERVANTS of YHVH, and THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS is from ME,” says YHVH! Yeshayahu/Isaiah 54:17
There is a verse in Proverbs/Mishley Shlomo that says something like “A man must himself be friendly in order to have friends!” Proverbs 18:24 A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.” If you want Hashem to be your Friend, you MUST show yourself friendly to those Whom He has sent and to all those who have been created in His Likeness for the time will surely come, I promise you that, when you will DESPERATELY need a true FRIEND, One Who will stick CLOSER than a brother when TROUBLE comes and all hell breaks loose ALL round about you!
How do you expect me or anyone else for that matter to be friendly with you after you treated me or that person who came to you in LOVE, worse than an enemy. Your time will come when you will be in that place right where that person you mistreated was and then we’ll see how you handle it! We are quick to dish out but when stuff falls back on our faces; we want MERCY, GRACE and LOVE, crying out: “where is the Love?” Well, good question: where was your love towards that neighbor you mistreated? An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth is not an old concept my friends; but it still reigns true today as EVER and will be so at the LORD’s return when He will judge you and I according to our deeds done towards one another just as His parables in the Gospel accounts and in the Psalms foretold! (Psalm 96:13, 98:9)
The point I am making is this, Strive hard, B”H, to Love your neighbor as yourself, and do unto others as you would like them to do unto you; just as it is written! It’s that simple folks and we are living in dark perilous times! And what goes around always comes back around! And everything that’s written will be fulfilled for good or for bad unto each and everyone of us according to our deeds!
“Moreover I saw under the Sun: in the place of Judgment, wickedness was there; and in the place of Righteousness, iniquity was there. I said in my heart, “HaElohim/God shall JUDGE the Righteous and the wicked, for there is a TIME there for every PURPOSE and for EVERY WORK!” Kohelet gimel: 16-17/Ecclesiastes 3:16-17
“With the merciful You will show Yourself Merciful; with a blameless man You will show Yourself Blameless; with the pure You will show Yourself Pure; and with the devious You will show Yourself Shrewd. For You will save the humble people, but will bring down haughty looks.” Psalm 18:25-27
Daniel 2:20-22 Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and LIGHT dwells with Him.”
Avinu Malkeinu help us to do what is right in your eyes at ALL times and show us how to love YOU and how to love Your Image in each and every one of our brothers and sisters in Israel and throughout the world! Amein!
Shalom Aleychem!
