Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Proverbs 20:1 “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is noisy and all who stray by it are not wise.” Since tis the season to make merry, there are those who tend to make a little too merry. For this holiday season I would like to visit some words from the
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar: Ezekiel 18:31 “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O House of Israel?” Yesterday morning our Hebrew class studied this passage.

Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Haggai 2:17: “I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you turned not to me, saith the Lord?” The Book of Haggai is an often overlooked Book of the Bible, probably because it is only two chapters. Haggai was
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 118:9 “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” That verse pretty much goes without question. Still there is more to this than meets the eye. For one thing the word “better” is “tov.” It is in harmony with God to trust in
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar: Isaiah 30:20: “And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see they teachers:” The word “give” is in an imperfect form and should be translated: “And the Lord will give
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Isaiah 30:21: “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.” The remez comes when you look at verse 20 which tells us that “our eyes shall
