Yom Shabbat, Tevet 28, 6003 – January 5, 2019
Shabbat Shalom!
For those of that keep the commandments (or try to at least) this is a common thing to say to one another on this day, the Sabbath. There may be times when we do not fully embrace all that it can mean. Here is an interesting scripture that relates to this phrase.
Judges 6:22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.
23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah–shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi–ezrites.
The word for peace here is “shalom” and it means completeness, wholeness, prosperity, lack of war, etc. It is much bigger than just no violence. It is the absence of fear because all needs for life are met.
When we say this to someone, and we have the understanding of what it means, we can actually help create the possibility that they have a blessed life today, with no fear because all needs are met.
Praise YAH! Praise the King!
Prayer
Father, we do exalt You. It is You, and You alone that are King! Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, YAH. Let Your will be done here perfectly YAH. Send us Your provision, YAH. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, Your wonders, and Your love for us. Restore unto Your people, one thousandfold all that was taken, or held back, of that which is good, and the more besides, O Father. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 Father, that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Rise uo, rise up, My King. Let Your power show forth and do these things speedily. We ask all these things of You Father, in the mighty name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Let it be so, Amen.
