Saturday Shabbat Psalm & Praise: The Kingdom of God is at Hand
Posted By Jacque on November 28, 2009
We just listened to this teaching by Dwight Pryor: The Hebrew View of The Kingdom Of Heaven, posted at Robin Sampson’s site, Biblical Holidays. This is Shabbat for us: rest, family time, and studying Scriptures. Preferably all at the same time! My Saturday Psalm post is usually a part of that study. It is such a blessing to sit here and discuss and study the Scriptures with our children. Of course, I would love to do that with Matt today, but, alas, he is still working as of yet… but that will change soon, hopefully.
A praise to Yahweh: Bless you Yahweh, for opening our eyes, ears, and hearts to know you in ways we never could have walking in what we knew. Bless you for opening your Scriptures up to us as Yehoshua spoke them and intended them.
As I listened to the video, I was praising HIM for showing us “the Hebraic” versus “the Greek” understandings. I am so thankful that we see the difference now and we can hear things and understand them as they were intended by our Messiah! Oh, what a difference it makes in our understanding!
He freely gave this understanding to us; we did nothing. We did not seek it or change our thinking. HE showed us HIS thinking. All we had to do was be willing to accept his ways of understanding instead of our own ideas of it and be open to him and to his leading, proving it out in the Scriptures. And, of course, we have to be willing to walk as he told us to…
The video discusses the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. There is a lot of rich information about the Messiah as Rabbi and thees two things he spoke so much about in the New Testament, when he was on this earth. We do not have an understanding for these terms as Yehoshua spoke them. It keeps coming back that all these years of living as Christians, and we are just learning the truth of some of the basics that Yehoshua the Rabbi(as opposed to Jesus the Christian Saviour) meant. It is not hard to understand, just hard to get used to at first. It is mind-blowing that it is lost on us. It is so simple, the things that he really was saying, once you learn it in context. It is sad, but it is a blessing to see it with fresh new understanding of the Rabbi’s own words and his understanding.
Certainly, the Last Days are at hand. He is revealing so much!
Deuteronomy 6:4-7 “4 “Sh’ma, Yisra’el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, Isra'el! ADONAI our God, ADONAI is one]; 5 and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources. 6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; 7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
