And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:11 Shabbat Shalom from our home to yours . . .

For Your Prayerful Consideration
When I read what the Lord had given these two women (posted below), I was stirred in my spirit concerning what the Father had spoken to me back in 2001-2002 concerning judgment coming on America. I had been listening to Christian music on the radio when the host came on and introduced a man who shared a dream the Lord had given him about judgment falling on this nation. Listening to his dream I knew in my spirit what he was saying was true and I was extremely grieved. This was the first time I had ever heard anything like this. We were still attending a Baptist church and the Father had not yet started our move into the understanding of the hebrew roots of our faith.
As a result of being so grieved in my spirit I began to pray and cry out to the Lord concerning what I had heard. I remember saying to Him “it’s not fair! We don’t all do abortions or homosexuality or murder.” I could not understand why He would punish all of us because of some who do those things. Early one morning I got up to do my prayer and daily reading in the Word when He directed me to Ezek. 24 and Ezek. 18 (in that order) as an answer to my question and prayer to Him. I was quite surprised that when I got to Ezek. 18. At least one of the translations I was looking at actually said (v.25) “yet you say, it is not fair . . .” Boy did that get my attention!!!!! The way verse 25 reads in the NIV is – “Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not just. Hear, O house of Israel: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?”
Well, it took a while for me to completely understand what Ezek. 18 was talking about and that realization did not fully manifest until we came to a clearer understanding of Torah, the violation of which is the issue in Ezek. 18. The Father has also given me and others additional confirmation both through His Word and through dreams. Ezek. 18 can be summed up in verse 31-32…..”Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declare the Sovereign YHWH. Repent and live!……..
There have been many within the body of believers that have received words, dreams and visions about those things that are coming upon the earth. The LORD is faithful to continue to both warn and send encouragement to His people. Below are two different revelations received and put forth for the edification of the body. There is no date-setting in these writings. Timing is a matter belonging to our Father. Our responsibility is to speak and heed His Word.
INCREDIBLE
Prepare for the times, My children. You must prepare yourselves for what is coming if you are to survive it while doing my bidding.
Times coming will be like no time you have ever known before. Many of you do not even wish to live through it, and many more will not, when the times arrive, because of the horrors you shall see.
What is coming to the earth defies the imaginations of mere men. It will be more incredible than any thoughts, ideas, or Hollywood movies any of you have ever seen.
The preparations you need to make are to prepare your souls, your eyes, your ears, for a world unlike anything you have seen even in your most incredible dreams.
Killing shall abound, and life will have little value. Seeing the dead in the streets of your cities will become common place.
Plagues shall come to all parts of the world. Some shall be man-made and used for destruction. Others shall be a result of the sins of My people in the world.
Government in some places will be non-existent as evil forces fight to control My people, and nations crumble.
No place shall be safe from the evil that is coming. Only by abiding in Me will you be saved from this. Only those who walk so closely with Me as to be in My shadow can survive and do My will.
Draw nearer to Me, My children, Draw nearer to Me, that you may endure the horrors to come with the end of days.
Psalm 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Psalm 91:1-6 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

GOD’S TIME OF PREPARATION AND PURPOSE
I have had a stirring in my spirit the past few months regarding the new season that the Body of Christ has entered. I keep hearing the words: “The old and the new are merging as one.” As I was waiting on the Lord the morning of August 17th, I heard Him speak these words:
A Personal Word for God’s People
“My people have entered into a time of great purpose and preparation. I am preparing My yielded ones to be a landing strip that receives all that I desire to bring forth in this strategic time in history. I am clearing the debris in order to make room for the things of Heaven to come to Earth. I am clearing both lives and land that were created to be green pastures in the days to come.
“Disappointments and hope deferred have taken root, causing thorn bushes to overtake many who are called for such a time as this. I am removing the root of bitter disappointment in those who will respond to My invitation to restoration. I have sent My angels to usher you to the green pastures of My Spirit where you will be healed, nourished and restored.”
A Corporate Word for Lands and Nations
The Lord says, “I am revealing and restoring ancient gates at this time. These ancient gates have been long forgotten and forsaken, but I am once again revealing them to those who have eyes to see what My Spirit is doing. I am sending My chosen ones to repair the ancient gates.
“Like in the days of Nehemiah, when the city walls were in disrepair, I am sending many to the lands where ancient gates are located. These are places where The King of Glory will appear in order to accomplish My end-time purposes. These Heavenly gates have existed from the very beginning of time and the time of their opening is near. (Photo via Wikipedia)
“I have places throughout the Earth where I am opening up portals of Heavenly supply for the preparation of the Great Harvest that is coming soon. There are lands of promise and places of strategic purpose that I will lead both individuals and ministries to dwell in. I am preparing places that will be storehouses for My people at this time.
“The ancient and the new are merging as one in this hour; the beginning and the end are intersecting. In the midst of violent times I am establishing peace and bringing forth peace makers and peace keepers. In the midst of drought I will pour out My latter rain.”
The Lord says, “Even now I am recruiting those who are willing to leave all and follow where I will lead them. They will be sent to the ancient gates, the predestined cities where peace, purpose and praise will open the gates and restore the land. These sent ones will not fear the evil one; they will overcome him through their faith, their trust and their obedience to My voice. Faith’s assurance will be their strength.”
The Coming Harvest: A Word for the Body
A great harvest is coming to Earth and God is preparing both people and places. As the Lord has spoken, there will be storehouses established in this new season. I believe that these storehouses will be both small and large.
Some will be in homes and on personal properties, while others will be in cities and on large property owned by Christian ministries and businessmen and women. There are workers, even now, being called to be a part of what the Lord is building in preparation at this time. I hear the Spirit speaking these words of encouragement:
“I, the Lord, will provide for all the work of preparation. I will bring wealth to the storehouses and to those who are called to be gatekeepers and those who are called to repair the walls. I will raise up those who have wealth to support those who are preparing the way and clearing the land for My great harvest. Do not miss the time of My invitation. Do not miss this time of great purpose and preparation. You are My chosen ones.”

SHABBAT SHALOM
On the last day of the feast, the great day, Yeshua stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” John 7:37-38
SHABBAT SHALOM FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS
Headwaters of the Jordan River, ISRAEL 2006
Your Thoughts . . .
“And Deborah, a prophetess ( Neviah ), the wife of Lappidoth, judged Israel at that time.”
(ruled, governed, acted as law-giver ) Judges 4:4
Hilkiah the Priest and those of the king (Josiah) went to speak to the prophetess Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District. 2 Chronicles 34:22
“And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.1 She did not depart from the temple, serving with fasting and prayers night and day.” Luke 2:36
“I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon (diakonos m/f) of the church at Cenchreae;”
Romans 16:1
“Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor {25 Or with fervor in the Spirit} and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately. “ Acts 18:24
( most translations list Priscilla first or refer to ‘them’ )
“Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman;” 1 Corinthians 11:11
“For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. And everything comes from God.” +1 Corinthians 11:12
So, if Father God can appoint the woman, Deborah, to be the governing voice and ‘law-giver’ over ALL Israel ( including the men), and HE cannot and will not violate His own Word and principles;
And if Father God appointed the woman Huldah to give an authoritative word to the king ( who was a man) and all Israel;
And if Anna served in the Temple day and night without leaving;
And if Phoebe is recognized in Paul’s day by Paul as a deacon in the congregation;
And if Priscilla and Aquila ‘team taught’ Apollos ( ‘them’, not ‘him’ );
And if Paul ( as well as Yeshua ) did not come to start a new religion;
Then could it be that Paul’s statements about women were addressing specific issues in two specific congregations, and no more than that ? Why do men ( and some women) have a problem with God using women? Blessings – Jerry
Re’eh . . . Behold !
Re’eh – See . . .
This portion of Scripture begins with God setting before us ‘blessing and a curse’ and then He begins to meddle. That’s right, meddle. After offering us a Blessing, God begins to work under the assumption the Gift gives Him the right to tell us how to live our lives.
He begins to tell us how we are allowed to approach Him. He tells us what we can eat and what is not food. He tells us how to determine if a prophet is true or false, as if we’re not capable of knowing the difference on our own. He then dictates what we should celebrate as holidays, where and when, and then, to top it all off, He starts talking about offerings and how we should spend our money. I would call that meddlin’, wouldn’t you?
Now that we have your attention – No, it is not meddling if it’s God doing the telling.
Much of this passage, Deut 11:26 – 16:17, deals with concepts that we have not been taught or have been taught in part. The first thing He says is “ Behold . . .” That’s an intriguing word, “Behold”. It gives an air of anticipation and excitement ! It is the Hebrew word ‘ra-ah’ which means to ‘see, perceive, look at, give attention to’. God literally begins this passage this way – ‘look here and pay attention. I’m getting ready to show you something really important.’ And then He goes on to explain there’s good news and there bad news. The good news? Behind door #1 is a Blessing. And the bad news? Well, you should have the picture by now.
And as we read through this passage as well as Isaiah 54:11-55:5 and John 7:37-52, we should remember from the Beginning it has been an ‘open book test’. God says ‘I set before you two options, one good and one bad . . . choose the good one’. “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you; I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”
(Deut. 30:19) Pretty neat, huh, when the Teacher gives you the answer to the test questions before you take the test . . . and the test is coming.
So, why are these concepts important for us to understand today ? Why should I care what God says is and isn’t food ? Why should I be concerned how to discern a false prophet from a true one? Why should I understand proper protocol in approaching the Creator of the Universe, or what He says are acceptable holidays and what to do with my money? The answer? We are stepping into a time period that the Bible has pointed to for roughly 6,000 years. The challenge is most of us have only read part of this ‘End-Time Survival Guide to the Supernatural’ we call The Bible.
It’s kinda like reading a map. On every map there is that little thing down in the corner called the ‘Legend’. If you attempt reading the Map without understanding the Legend, you might get a few things correct but you will usually wind up lost. But once you understand the Legend, that understanding gives clarity to the Map and you’re able get where you want to go.
Understanding God’s ways and expectations in these upcoming days may just make a world of difference when the chips are down. Expectations ? Like any Good Parent, God has the right and responsibility to delineate and realize a level of behavior of His children for their own good. As kids, we, many times, thought our parents were meddling . . . but they were just being good parents. When it seems as if Abba is meddling . . . He’s just being a Good Dad; for our own good; even if we don’t realize it until later. Shalom – 
Prayer Request
Little Sammy is home and doing well (thanks for all the prayers) and NOW the oldest of the three boys – Benjamin – is in the hospital with asthmatic complications. He will be there for at least a couple of nights. Jason, his dad, says the air quality in Louisville has been very bad lately, with an “L.A. type” smoggy heaviness. The doctor said even folks that don’t normally suffer from asthma have been coming in wheezing with difficulty breathing. Please pray Ben’s stay will be short and Mom & Dad will get some rest. We also pray the affects of the medication be mitigated. In Yeshua’s Name –
He’s Been Faithful . . .
There was one last song we wanted to play the day of Mariela’s baptism but time just did not allow. It was personal for Rhonda and I since this one song takes us back to a time when God was dealing with us as well as a dark time of heaviness and great uncertainty, uncertainty not unlike some days we have now. But through it all there has been and will be this one thread that never breaks – God is faithful.

This is not an all-encompassing, all-inclusive teaching but it will cover some biblical basics most of us were never taught. It is a live recording, made a couple years back at Sukkot, and has all the background noise that goes along with being live. So turn up your speakers and take a listen. shalom –
