Yom Shlishi, Shevat 4, 6004 – December 31, 2019
New?
Yes, this is an interesting time for us as humans. We consider ourselves to be independent beings. But are we? Is it possible that we have as a people group accepted certain realities, or better said, certain parameters as reality. But are they really? To that end I want to suggest a reread of the first chapter of the first book of the bible. Specifically about everything that would have to do with time.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 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.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Three days of evening and morning passed before there were any lights in the sky. Yet, we think that the sun and the moon have something to do with time. We define time as it relates to people on earth and the cycles around the sun. But light and dark were first ruled without the sun and moon. All this is said here just to get us to think and not automatically accept what has been told to us the way it has been told.
Yes, the sun and moon are there to help us understand a certain pattern of time. Perhaps this deserves more consideration by us all.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You aloe are King. Praise the name YAH. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here and lead us away from temptation. Cause prosperity to flow. Release Your angels to release our blessings. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
