For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:  for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.

“ . . . for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Messiah Yeshua . . .”  Romans 6:23

For without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin. 

Hebrews 9:22

but with His own Blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.  Heb 9:12

There is a children’s song that says “Clean-up, clean-up, everybody clean-up . . .” Well that’s the time that we find ourselves in as we look towards Yom Kippur. It;s ‘clean-up time’ . . . Yeshua spoke of those that cleaned the outside of the cup and left the inside dirty. We tend to focus on the part that is seen, whereas the hidden, inside part is what Abba is concerned with. For HE looks on the heart.
Rhonda made the comment that vertical relationship with our Father has to be ‘right’ before the horizontal relationship with one another can be.

Is there anything ‘clogging’ the pipeline between me and my heavenly Father ? If so, I first need to fix that problem… and humility and repentance and obedience is the ‘plumber of choice’ . . .then and only then can there be the proper relationship with those around me . . .  But WE can’t do the clean-up all on our own . . . and it’s an ongoing process . . . If you have kids, you understand that concept . . .:)

King David prayed this way : 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

This from a man who already had an intimate relationship with Yahweh. But just like any relationship that is worth having, it takes constant attention.  How’s your ‘heavenly pipeline’ ?   Blessings –

Between Leviticus 23:25 and 23:27 there is a period of 10 days that have come to be known as the ‘ Days of Awe ‘ . . .

We understand to some degree the concept of The Feast of Trumpets ( Yom Teruah ) being  the day of the blast or sounding of the alarm for what is to come. Ten days later is the Day of Atonement, the day of the kippur – the covering of the sins of Israel. It is also the annoucement of the coming of the Great King. There is the picture in these ten days of preparation for those things to come. What does it mean to me as a believer in these days ?

We will deal with this concept in the next few days as we ‘prepare’ for the Day of Atonement and look at this as a time of introspection and self-examination and repentance.

 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
 Ephesians 5:27 . . . that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless.
Matt 5: 23 “If therefore you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
 24 leave your offering there before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.
                                “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Until tomorrow, Shalom U’Vrachot B’Messiah Yeshua – Peace & Blessings in Messiah Yeshua –  J & R

This story hit CNN and FOX within the last hour on this date . . . we need to follow this story to see if the 1st amendment rights of these people are upheld . . . and again, this is not about ‘a film’ but about the Muslim brotherhood and fundamentalist islam (a ‘front’ for the seed of Esau and the seed of the serpent) taking advantage of every opportunity to advance their venomous agenda . . .

(CNN) Tuesday 09-18-2012 — Egyptian authorities have charged seven Coptic Christians living in the United States and a Florida pastor with’ insulting Islam and inciting sectarian strife’ ( that’s against the law ? )  for their alleged links to an online video that has enraged much of the Muslim world.

Egypt’s public prosecutor announced the charges Tuesday, the latest development in the deadly backlash against the low-budget, amateurish 14-minute movie trailer produced privately in the United States and posted on YouTube.

The clip from “The Innocence of Muslims” mocks the Muslim Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer.

“Innocence of Muslims” was an obscure Internet video until September 11, when rioters, seizing on it, breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Protesters also attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

The charges — largely symbolic because the accused all live outside Egypt — name alleged filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who is identified by Egyptian officials as Elia Bassili.

Reports that Nakoula is a Coptic Christian have raised concern about a possible backlash against the minority religious group in Egypt, where tensions between Copts and Muslims have risen recently.

Egypt also charged Morris Sadek, who is believed to have posted the clip to YouTube.

The Florida pastor charged is Terry Jones, who was allegedly contacted by the filmmaker to help promote the video. Jones sparked some protests in Muslim countries last year when he staged a trial of Islam at his church.

The others accused were identified as Morcos Aziz; Fikri Zokloma, also known as Esmat Zokloma; Nabil Bissada; Nahed Metwali; and Nader Nicola. Aside from Nakoula, who lives in California, and Jones in Florida, it was not clear where the others live in the United States.

In addition to charges of insulting the Islamic religion, insulting Mohammed and inciting sectarian strife, all eight are charged with harming national unity and spreading false information ( doesn’t that qualify them as politicians ?? ) , according to Adel Saaed, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.

Egyptian authorities added the names to their airport watch list.

Prosecutors said they will ask the international police agency, Interpol, to add the names to its wanted lists. U.S. authorities would also be contacted, according to prosecutors.

IMPEACHMENT ??  IT’S NOT ABOUT A FILM . . . IT’S ABOUT ISLAM’S HATRED FOR THE ‘GREAT SATAN’ AND USING ANY OPPORTUNITY AS AN EXCUSE TO VENT THEIR ANTI-AMERICAN VENOM  . . .

IF WE HAVE TO BUY OUR ‘FRIENDSHIP’ WITH THESE PEOPLE, HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH ? AT WHAT COST ? AND WE TURN OUR BACK ON OUR TRUE ALLY IN THE REGION – ISRAEL . . . AND THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM WILL NOT FORGET TO REPAY THOSE WHO IGNORE THE PLACE WHERE HE CHOSE TO PUT HIS NAME FOREVER . . .

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will lobby lawmakers this week on the need to keep billions of dollars in aid flowing to Egypt and other countries caught up in a spasm of violent anti-American protests across the Muslim world.

The State Department said Clinton intended to meet with Congress later this week to discuss the protests, which saw U.S. diplomatic missions attacked and the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed amid fury over a film produced in the United States that many saw as an insult to Islam.

Republican lawmakers are calling for an investigation into the attacks amid suspicions in Republican circles that the Democratic administration is trying to tamp down inquiries about the events as the November 6 presidential election looms.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had hoped to hold a public hearing on Egypt this week. She reluctantly called it off after the Obama administration refused to send any witnesses and instead offered a private briefing for lawmakers, a congressional aide said.

DEBKAfile Report…September 16, 2012

“Huge blackout over news coverage of the
Islam Terror attacks on MFO bases in Sinai
with peacekeepers surrounded..”

“Terror groups with human shields, many
which are children & women, attacked the
Sinai bases..”

“MFO bases surrounded and U.S. forces are
still cornered even with aircraft, fear of
being shot down with anti-air missiles on
takeoff from bases..”

The Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) is an international peacekeeping force overseeing the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.

Egypt has repeatedly violated the existing treaties with Israel since the Muslim Brotherhood coming to power  ( read Isaiah 19 ) and has made the public statement that all agreements with Israel must be ‘re-evaluated’ . . . that’s ‘double-speak’ for ‘done away with’  . . .

DEVELOPING…………

A few years back an art promotion group displayed a christian cross in a jar of urine. If my memory serves me correctly, no christians went out and burned buildings or shot and killed anyone. I watched a movie the other night that portrayed a ‘christian lady’ as a bigoted, deceptive, lying cheat in the midst of a muslim society.. And yet I did not set any fires, tear down any flags, storm any buildings or cause harm to anyone.

And yet a movie plot comes out that portrays the so-called prophet of islam in a negative light and compounds are stormed, flags torn down and sovereignties  threatened, buildings burned and people killed.

When are we going to understand that the battle between Jacob and Esau, the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, the battle between dark and light is alive and well and playing out right before our very eyes literally on a daily basis. And the president has time for Morsi – the head the muslim brotherhood in the Egypt – but does NOT have time for one of our staunchest allies – Israel.

Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, speaking at a press conference with the  Bulgarian Prime Minister stated that “those in the international community who refuse to place red lines before Iran have no moral right to place a red line before Israel. If Iran knows that there are no red lines or deadlines, what will it do? Exactly what it does today – continuing to work to acquire a nuclear weapon without any interference. The world tells Israel to wait because there is time, and I ask, ‘Wait for what?’

This comes on the heels of statements by Hillary Clinton and our State Department that there would be NO ‘red lines’ placed in front of Iran at this point concerning their nuclear activities and that their is still plenty of time for negotiations to produce positive results in regard to Tehran. ??  I wonder what rock they’ve been hiding under ?

I’m sure it is just coincidental that following these statements by Netanyahu, Obama cancels a scheduled meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister.  Netanyahu is scheduled to speak at the UN around the time of Yom Kippur and just happens to be ‘on the program’ with Ahmadinejad .  ( Ahmed in jihad ? )  Hopefully you understand that the events of the last days will revolve around the Feasts of the Lord, which are a picture of the Gospel plan and the return of Messiah Yeshua.

This will be first time for the Israeli Prime Minister to be on US soil and NOT meet with the White House, but NOT the first time for Israel to be snubbed by this administration. Would somebody please remind Obama what the Bible says concerning ignoring or trifling with Israel  . . . ?

And then to top it all off, Muslim fundamentalists decide to burn down buildings and kill people because of a movie that portrays Mohammed in a negative light . . . ( you know, that prophet of Islam, the religion of love !? ) . If christians or jews ( or anyone else for matter ) took these kind of actions each time their GOD or prophet was maligned, there would not be any buildings or people left standing.  And what is the White House going to do about the killing of Ambassador Stevens and the others in the attack and burning of the consulate in Libya – probably nothing . . .  I mean, you wouldn’t want to offend anyone just before an election when you are running for president of the world . . . wait a minute . . . that’s not what he’s supposed to be running for . . . or is it . . .

So, they were for it before they were against it before they were for it ?  Huh ? It seems that the wind changes quickly when politics are involved. Earlier in the day on Wed the Democratic delegates voted to remove the word GOD from all aspects of the national party platform and the plank that stood for Jerusalem as the undisputed capital of Israel two long standing planks of the party platform.  Then about 2:15 or so PST a AP story came out that all that had changed and GOD was back in and Jerusalem is once again the capital of Israel. Then around 3:30 or so PST the story broke that the restoral of GOD and Jerusalem was due to direct intervention from Barak Obama.

So let me get this straight, the president of the US and the head of the Democratic Party was not aware that deletions of these two fundamental aspects of the party platform were pending and in the wings and only after ‘IT’ happened was he made aware and then HE was able to intervene and contravene a vote by the convention delegates ?  I do NOT see conspiracies everywhere I look, but this ‘fish tale’ smells like a ‘badly baited hook’ . . . He swings in and saves the day and restores GOD and Israel . . . And by the way Jessie Jackson, according to the Bible, it DOES matter what Name we use for GOD and allah ain’t one of the acceptable options . . .
