Shabbat Year 2007 Series
HE MAKES ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES
“He makes me to lie down in green pastures” Psalms 23:2
Shabbat shalom and Shnat Shabbaton dearly beloved:
This week we shall continue studying Psalms 23 for this Shabbat Year of 2007.
When I read the above scripture, (and especially in Hebrew,) it becomes very obvious to me that unless He makes us to lie down long enough in order to get our attention; the 21st Century hyperactivity will get the best out of us and we will have no time for Him. But let me explain this verse to you:
He makes me to lie down in green pastures:
Al neot deshe yarbitseni.
I will actually begin the way the Hebrew sentence begins. It begins with the GREEN PASTURES and later on we will see why it begins this way. He first gives us the vision and the purpose for His insistence that we lie down. He desires us to rest and be restored. There is no way that we can be restored, or that we can rest in a field of thorns, or in the midst of gravel. He must get us to a place of GREEN PASTURES for our own good and for the sake of His Kingdom.
Sheep eat green grass in order to grow healthy and grow lots of wool. As we said in the previous letter, the sheep’s wool is the reward of the shepherd for his hard work. In the green pastures both the food and the rest will be plentiful. Though this sounds wonderful most sheep do not lie down on their own. They have to be forced into the resting. They have to be humbled unto that place! What does green pastures mean to us Y’shua’s disciples? Most of us do not eat grass!
The word of YAH says: “For man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of YAH (God)….” In other words though we need physical food to survive, we need His Word even more! Abba brings us to a place where we can feed on His luscious Word, on His Torah instructions, and on His promises, so we can be made whole and we can bear fruit!
Most people are content with some crumbs from His Word and many times they are actually quite happy eating spiritual gravel and straw. However they fail to bring the reward to the Shepherd, they fail to grow the “wool” that is needed by the Shepherd. Their spiritual food has been deficient! For the most part, His Body has been eating quite a lot of gravel and straw when it is divorced from the original Gospel made in Zion and the Jewish Roots of the Faith. So, this year He wants you to both REST and FEAST on GREEN PASTURES. He will not accept His sheep to eat any more gravel! It is time to bear fruit for the Master! Sheep are not created for themselves they are created for the Shepherd. It is time for His sheep to hear the Call to lie down in green pastures!
There is no better place to get the riches of His Word and to learn His ways than Jerusalem . Jerusalem is the GREEN PASTURES where Yahveh wants His sheep to come to this year. He wants them to rest and to be restored through eating green grass and refusing the gravel of Replacement Theology and the shallow Western Christian Gospel. Great riches are awaiting His sheep in Zion this year!
“And in that day you will say: “ O Yahveh, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘ For YAH, Yahveh, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’” Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:1-3
He makes me to lie down in green pastures:
Al neot deshe yarbitseni
This portion of this scripture is amazingly revealing! He makes me to lie down means that He does something FORCEFUL to bring me down, even against my own will. In Hebrew the word YARBITSENI means: “He beats me up until I obey Him and I lie down to learn His Torah and His ways!” Among the Orthodox Jews to teach Torah, (the laws and Commandments of the Creator,) to little children it is called LEHARBITS TORAH, which means to “BEAT THE TORAH INTO YOU”. When you see a shepherd making his sheep to lie down you will see him/her pushing the sheep down forcefully and or beating them with a stick until they LIE DOWN!
“If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it”. Hebrews 12:7-11
If you feel “beat up” and some strange things are happening to stop your plans and agendas; it is probably the Shepherd calling you to lie down in order to learn His ways. Of course “lie down” means to humble yourself, stop what you are doing and listen to Him. Give Him your time. No more business as usual this year!
2007 is a Year of Shabbat, a year of REPENTANCE, REST and RESTORATION. He is calling all of His Bride to be restored to the original Jewish Roots of the Faith. Are you listening? He is also calling us to be trained in His ways and character as we rest.
In order to provide you our beloved partners with the best of GREEN PASTURES we have designed by the help of The Holy Spirit some tours and trainings in His Land, in His Garden, His Green Pastures in Jerusalem, in Israel!
In His word it is written that from “Shabbat to Shabbat” all mankind shall come and worship Yahveh in Jerusalem (Isaiah 66:23). This is a SHABBAT YEAR and He is calling all those that have ears to hear to COME UP and worship Him in Jerusalem in order to lie down in green pastures and feed on His Torah and Ruach (Spirit) in Zion . Those that will join the coming MAP Revolution tours and trainings in His Land this year will be made HOLY, and WHOLE, and will grow the fruit it takes for the End Time Move of YAH. They will be able to be used of Him and even lead in His End Time Army!
“As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem .” Isaiah 66:13
We are waiting for you in His GREEN PASTURES IN ZION . Can you hear the Voice of the Shepherd?
Feasting in His Land
Your friends in Israel
