Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father Who Art in Heaven,
Hallowed Be Your Name!
For You Alone are Worthy of Praise and Worship,
For You Are Glorious in Majesty!
You Alone Are The One True God.
Perfect in All Your Ways
And yet, You give us permission
To call You "Abba Father"!
How Righteous, Holy, and Just You Are!

Please, Father, let us find Grace in Your Sight,
Teach us to walk humbly before You,
To Listen To Your Voice,
And Obey Your Commands,
Even if it makes us look strange or foolish to the
people around us!

We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The computer difficulties this week are very interestingly connected to this verse of Isaiah. Now, before you think I have gone completely NUTS, let me explain.

From what we learned on the alternate page, a server crashed, and crashed "hard". Something new had to be installed, and then loaded up with over 16 YEARS of data from this enormous website. My late husband was a "computer guy" and I used to watch him go late into the night entering "code", which is the language used by computers to communicate and store data. We ourselves use a "code" called "html" to spruce up our posts with pictures, colors, fonts, links to other sites, videos, newsfeeds, etc. The problem with "code" is that it HAS to be exact. There are no nuances, emotions, shades of meaning, or mistakes allowed. The exclusion of one dot or comma will cause the code to fail.

When Jesus said (Matthew 5:18): "For verily I say unto you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled.", He was not speaking of the Law as if it were HTML Code. Later on in the Gospel Jesus speaks of those who obey the LETTER of the Law, but not the Spirit. (Matthew 23:25) He compares this to washing the outside of a cup but leaving the inside (the part nobody sees) filthy.

Isaiah, in this chapter, is telling the religious leaders of a similar situation. "A rule for this and a rule for that" might keep things going, and if everything is done to the letter, you may end up with a smooth-running society, but"Efficiency" that is born of oppression is not the goal of Faith.

Fascism made the trains run on schedule, but who wants that kind of government? As stated in many Scripture passages, God looks at the heart.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

God Bless America!

Sorry...my code must have been wrong! LOL! Here is the chapter:

Woe to the Leaders of Ephraim and Judah

28 Woe to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s drunkards,
to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley—
to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!
2
See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong.
Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind,
like a driving rain and a flooding downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3
That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s drunkards,
will be trampled underfoot.
4
That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,
will be like figs ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.

5
In that day the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious crown,
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant of his people.
6
He will be a spirit of justice
to the one who sits in judgment,
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

7
And these also stagger from wine
and reel from beer:
Priests and prophets stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8
All the tables are covered with vomit
and there is not a spot without filth.

9
“Who is it he is trying to teach?
To whom is he explaining his message?
To children weaned from their milk,
to those just taken from the breast?
10
For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.”

11
Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues
God will speak to this people,
12
to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13
So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured and snared and captured.

14
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15
You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
and falsehood[b] our hiding place.”

16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.
17
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow your hiding place.
18
Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it.
19
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning after morning, by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”

The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
20
The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
21
The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed against the whole land.

23
Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24
When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25
When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[c]
barley in its plot,[d]
and spelt in its field?
26
His God instructs him
and teaches him the right way.

27
Caraway is not threshed with a sledge,
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,
and cumin with a stick.
28
Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29
All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,
whose wisdom is magnificent.
Footnotes:

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

OE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! 2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and

strong one, tempest of hail and a destroying storm, which as a a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?

25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?

26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.

29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

[Ezekiel]

Great to see that the thread is up and running! That was weird.

When Jesus said (Matthew 5:18): "For verily I say unto you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled.", He was not speaking of the Law as if it were HTML Code. Later on in the Gospel Jesus speaks of those who obey the LETTER of the Law, but not the Spirit. (Matthew 23:25) He compares this to washing the outside of a cup but leaving the inside (the part nobody sees) filthy.

Visually this reminds me of the bookends of the Torah (and all the Tanakh): the first letter is a bet, the last letter is a lamed, which read from end to beginning spells lev, heart.

Therefore, the entire body of the Torah and Hebrew Scripture is encased within this heart. These letters (bet lamed) can be read as "two lameds" (mirrored and facing, they form a heart), so either way, a heart is the external, revealed name and image. The concealed letters are everything inside the heart.

Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

That's a literal statement, for all the law is contained within one word: heart.

And within the word itself are concealed letters. The revealed letters are the lamed and bet; the concealed [in red] are the ones that complete the words of the letters:

lamed is spelled lamed mem dalet (למד)
bet is spelled bet yud tav (בית)

The red letters spell tamid (perpetual, continual, always). The gematria is 454, which is the full (milui) spelling of the yud (20) and dalet (434) - yad (יד), hand.
The other letters (tav and mem) spell tam (תם)- perfect (complete, wholesome) - and have a full spelling of 406 + 80 = 486.

Gen 25.27. And the boys grew; and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet [tam] man, living in tents:

Deu 11

16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them:
17. And then the Lord's anger be kindled against you, and he closed the skies, that there should be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord gives you:
18. Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes:
19. And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up:
20. And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates:
21. That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth:

tam (complete, perfect, whole) - 486
yad (hand) - 454

The difference is 32, the value of lev, heart. Thus, a 'full' hand (454) + heart (32) = tam (486)

A full hand is a full house: three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank.

And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house...

The letter lamed is teaching and learning, the letter bet is a house. Lev, heart

Matthew 19

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

a full hand + heart = tam, perfect

Good heart or bad heart:

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Because tam can be flipped over to spell met (מת), dead. Full hand (great possessions) + bad heart = dead

13
So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured and snared and captured.

[Ezekiel]

The other letters (tav and mem) spell tam (תם)- perfect (complete, wholesome) - and have a full spelling of 406 + 80 = 486.

I should have added, that 486 is also the full value of lev: lamed (74) + bet (412).

lamed + bet = tav + mem

Not circular math there, as the revealed letters (bet and lamed) were not part of the internal 'tamid' group of letters.

[Hiskid]

Praying with you for all Israel to be saved!
