No Fear
Do you notice the world changing rather dramatically everywhere you look? Many people are full of fear. Seems we fear according to how circumstances affect us and circumstances affect us according to how well prepared we are. Recession- no fear if one has lived below their means, saved, and has no debt . World events- no fear if one knows that "...the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." (Daniel 4:17:b) Death- no fear if one is prepared to stand before a just and holy G-d in the righteousness of His Anointed One ("...shall my righteous servant justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities." Isaiah 53:11b) and not in one's own righteousness. (But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;...Isaiah 64:6a) How well prepared are we? Only by trusting in the shed blood of the Messiah can we have no fear "For G-d hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (II Timothy 1:7)

Why America is in Trouble
"The fear of the L-RD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7
That verse defines the beginning of knowledge and explains what a fool hates but then in Proverbs 8:13 the fear of the L-rd is defined.
"The fear of the L-RD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."
Everything that America stands for today is what G-d hates. This is why America is in trouble. We do not fear G-d. America is become a fool.
There is hope. It is for us individually and as a nation to fear G-d. This is where knowledge starts.

The Believers Passover, another thought about Passover
Hach Sameach lePasach that is as much as I can remember and hope it is close. I was trying to say Happy Passover. Tonight is the beginning of Passover. For the Redeemed believer in Messiah our Passover is explained in I Corinthians 5:7"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ( Messiah) our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
We can enjoy Passover as we remember The Messiah's sacrifice for us. His blood was shed for the remission of sins. Praise G-d we can be cleansed and made right with the Eternal G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the shed blood of the perfect Lamb of G-d.
Have a blessed Passover.

Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection continued
continued from last week
Leviticus 23:15 "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waveoffering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even onto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meatoffering unto the L-RD. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals:"
50 days after the firstfruits(the resurrection of the Messiah from the dead) the new meat offering of two wave loafs was to be offered. The two wave loaves symbolized the Jews and the Gentiles 50 days after the resurrection of the Messiah the disciples were endued with power from on high and the church (consisting of Jews first and then Gentiles also) began. The message of the completion of the blood atonement and the forgiveness of sin through the blood of the Messiah began to be spread throughout the world. Acts chapter 2 gives the account of Pentecost. The firstfruits was also on the first day of the week or Sunday as we know it today. Messiah rose on Sunday and the church was started on Sunday.

Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection continued
continued from last week
As Passover is a foreshadowing of the Messiah's blood atonement so firstfruits is a foreshadowing.
"...ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the L-RD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the L-RD..." Leviticus 23: 10b-12
The firstfruit was to be offered the day after the sabbath, on what we call Sunday. The firstfruit was a foreshadowing of the resurrection of the Messiah from the dead on the first day of the week.

Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection
This is a three part series
In reading the scriptures the other day I was noticing the time span of The Messiah's crucifixion at the hands of the Gentiles and of the insistence of the Jews.(All are guilty before G-d. The Gentiles crucified the Messiah because the Jews wanted it done. The Messiah hanging on the tree could not have been accomplished without both the Jews and Gentiles taking part.)
The Messiah was crucified on Passover, a holy day that foreshadowed His sacrifice Leviticus 23:4,5 "These are the feasts of the L-RD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the L-RD's passover."In this memorial of G-d's deliverance of the nation from Egyptian bondage G-d foreshadowed his means of mans deliverance from sin. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversations received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ (Messiah), as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" I Peter 1:18,19.
Just as the death angel passed over the Hebrew dwellings that had the blood on the door post so G-d will pass over judgement of the soul that has put their trust in the precious blood of the Messiah, for that person's sins were already judged on the tree and paid for by the blood of the Messiah.

Passover is coming
The next few posts are repeat from a series done on Passover.
Passover is almost here. All the leaven is being taken out of the house, every room swept for fear of a crumb left in the house. At sundown on Passover night the observance of G-d bringing the Jews out of the land of Egypt begins. It is a wonderful time to remember and to reflect at the symbolism in the Passover. Again we see a lamb being slain for the redemption of those that put their trust in G-d's word "when I see the blood I will pass over you..." Exodus 12:13 May you have the precious blood of G-d's perfect lamb,Yeshua The Messiah, applied to your sins . Just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob looked forward to the blood being applied to their sins, we look back to the redemption having been completed through the shed blood of the Holy One, Yeshua The Messiah your King.
