Step back in time with 'Exalted Above All,' a song inspired by the timeless words of King David from Psalm 40. This track is a modern renaissance of ancient worship, crafted in the style of a 1940s Bossa Nova quartet. King David wrote these poems as songs to be enjoyed and sung across generations, and this rendition brings a taste of that enduring joy and devotion into the era of big bands and smooth harmonies. As we revive these sacred verses with vintage flair, immerse yourself in the musical landscape of the past while echoing the psalmist’s praises. Let this song be a bridge across time, inviting all to sing, 'Yahuah be exalted!' and celebrate the divine deliverance that resonates through the ages.
Psalm 40
I waited, waited for Yahuah;
And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction,
Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock,
He is establishing my steps.
Then He put a new song in my mouth;
Praise to our Alahim; Many do see it and fear,
And trust in Yahuah. Blessed is that man who has made Yahuah his trust,
And has not turned to the proud,
And those turning aside to falsehood.
Yahuah my Alahim, many are the Wonders which You have done,
and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You;
I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.
Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire;
You have opened my ears;
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for.
Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed for me.
I have delighted to do Your pleasure,
my Alahim, And Your Turah is within my heart.”
I have proclaimed the tidings of obedience, In the great assembly;
See, I do not restrain my lips,
Yahuah, You know.
I did not conceal Your uprightness within my heart;
I have declared Your integrity and Your deliverance;
I did not hide Your kindness and Your Truth from the great assembly.
Do not withhold Your compassion from me,
Yahuah; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me.
For evils without number have surrounded me;
My lawlessnesses have overtaken me,
And I have been unable to see;
They became more than the hairs of my head;
And my heart has failed me.
Be pleased, Yahuah, to deliver me;
Yahuah, hasten to help me!
Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether;
Let those who are desiring my evil be driven back and put to shame.
Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
Be appalled at their own shame.
Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those who love Your deliverance always say,
“Yahuah be exalted!”
But I am poor and needy; Let Yahuah think upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer; my Alahim, do not delay!

In Joshua 8, we witness a pivotal moment of life-and-death confrontation as the Israelites, under Joshua's command, face the people of Ai in a critical battle. With no backup options and the shadow of their previous failure looming large, the Israelites were thrust into a situation where the only choices were victory or utter defeat. This wasn't just a military skirmish; it was a spiritual showdown, echoing their earlier triumphs over Egypt's gods. Here, in Ai, Yahuah once again proved His supremacy over the deities worshipped by the Canaanites.

As the Israelites stood on the battlefield, they did so not just with weapons in hand, but armed with a renewed commitment to Yahuah's commands. Following their victory, Joshua renewed the covenant by reading the entire Torah aloud to all of Yisharal—men, women, children, and foreigners alike—at Mount Ebal. This act wasn't merely ceremonial; it was an essential reinforcement of their faith and obedience, akin to strengthening their spiritual muscles for the battles yet to come.

In our lives today, we are often faced with our own 'Ais'—challenges and spiritual battles that test our faith and obedience. Like the Israelites, we have no true backup plan; we must rely entirely on our faith in Yahuah. He promises to deliver us from the idols and false gods of our world—the modern equivalents of those Canaanite deities. Whether these idols be materialism, pride, fear, or complacency, the story of Joshua 8 reminds us that through unwavering obedience and trust in God’s word, we too can experience profound victories.

Let this story inspire us to stand firm in our faith, to engage in the reading and understanding of God's Word, and to prepare ourselves for the spiritual battles that lie ahead. Just as Yahuah was faithful to Joshua and the Israelites, He will be faithful to us. Trust in His power, walk in His ways, and watch the walls of your challenges fall down as you march forward in obedience.

In this insightful episode, we delve into Joshua 7, a chapter marked by its intense exploration of sin, punishment, and redemption within the Israelite community. The story of Achan, who transgresses against Yahuah's command by taking banned items, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of disobedience.
The themes in Joshua 7 echo those in Genesis 50 and Exodus 15, creating a powerful narrative arc from the foundation of Israel's identity to its formation as a nation under divine laws. Genesis 50 concludes with Joseph’s death and the seeds of the Israelites' future bondage in Egypt, setting a tone of enduring faith amidst adversity. This links seamlessly with Exodus 15, where we witness the Israelites' triumphant escape from Egyptian bondage, celebrating their freedom and the divine justice meted upon their oppressors.
Joshua 7 revisits these themes under new circumstances. Here, the Israelites, now free, face internal strife from their own actions that contradict the divine mandate, highlighting the ongoing struggle between human frailty and the pursuit of righteousness.
This episode invites viewers to reflect on the continuous thread of choices and their repercussions, as seen through the lens of scripture from Genesis to Joshua. It challenges us to consider our own responsibilities and the consequences of our actions in light of past lessons and divine expectations. Join us as we explore how these pivotal moments shape the moral and spiritual fabric of the Israelite community and what they teach us about divine justice and human obedience.

Dive into the powerful verses of Exodus 15, where Moses and the Israelites raise their voices in the "Song of the Sea," celebrating their miraculous escape from Pharaoh’s clutches. This chapter captures a pivotal moment in biblical history, showcasing a divine intervention that transforms the Israelites' fate from certain doom to exhilarating freedom. Through majestic lyrics, the song exalts Yahuah's might as He parts the Red Sea, allowing His people a passage to safety while their pursuers are engulfed by the waters. This song not only commemorates a historical miracle but also serves as an anthem of faith and divine protection, resonating with believers across generations. Join us as we explore the layers of praise and prophecy in this ancient hymn, understanding its impact and timeless relevance in the journey of faith.

Song of Deliverance
Verse 1:I sing to Yahuah, so exalted and high,The horse and its rider, into the sea, they fly.Yah, my strength and song, in You I am free,My deliverance and Al, forever You'll be.
Chorus:Yahuah, the warrior, mighty in fight,Your name alone scatters the terrors of night.Chariots and armies, You cast into the deep,As Your people watch, and their enemies weep.
Verse 2:Your right hand, O Yahuah, mighty to save,Crushed the enemy bold, the proud and the brave.With the breath of Your nostrils, the waters stood still,In the greatness of Your power, You perform Your will.
Chorus:Yahuah, the warrior, mighty in fight,Your name alone scatters the terrors of night.Chariots and armies, You cast into the deep,As Your people watch, and their enemies weep.
Bridge:Who is like You among the gods so divine?Awesome in praises, doing wonders, a sign.You lead Your redeemed, to Your holy abode,By the strength of Your arm, on the promise road.
Verse 3:Nations hear and tremble, dread grips the land,As Your people You guide with a gentle hand.To the mountain of Your inheritance, we rise,Where Your sanctuary stands, 'neath the open skies.
Chorus:Yahuah, the warrior, mighty in fight,Your name alone scatters the terrors of night.Chariots and armies, You cast into the deep,As Your people watch, and their enemies weep.
Outro:Yahuah reigns, forever and ever on high,From the depths of the sea to the breadth of the sky.Sing to Yahuah, for He is highly exalted,The horse and its rider, by the sea they were halted.

In this powerful video, we delve into the profound significance of Exodus 15, where we witness the miraculous liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage—a pivotal moment that marks the fulfillment of a prophecy set in motion centuries earlier during Joseph’s era. Genesis 50 concludes with Joseph’s death and the subsequent descent of his people into slavery, setting the stage for a dramatic narrative of oppression and deliverance.
Fast forward 400 years from the end of Genesis, the Israelites, once thriving under Joseph's wise administration, now groan under the harsh yoke of Egyptian slavery. This video explores the "Song of the Sea," a triumphant hymn Moses and the Israelites sing to Yahuah after He parts the Red Sea, allowing them to escape Pharaoh’s army. This song is not only a celebration of their physical deliverance but also a symbolic reaffirmation of Yahuah's ongoing commitment to His people.
Join us as we connect the historical dots from Genesis to Exodus, illustrating how the seeds of slavery planted during Joseph's time blossom into a spectacular display of divine power and freedom. This episode is a testament to the enduring spirit of a people destined for deliverance and the unbreakable promises of Yahuah. Witness the transition from despair to hope, from bondage to liberation, and from prophecy to fulfillment.

Welcome to our journey through Genesis, the first book of the Bible, where the themes of creation, covenant, and redemption unfold. From the creation of the world by Yahuah to the complex saga of Joseph, Genesis explores the beginnings of humanity and the divine promises made to the patriarchs.

We witness Yahuah's covenant first with Noah and then more fully with Abraham, promising blessings that echo through generations. Through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, we see the challenges and triumphs of faith, the consequences of human actions, and the steadfastness of Yahuah's commitment.

As we conclude with Joseph's legacy in Egypt, Genesis sets the stage for Yahuah's ongoing plan for His people. A good fundamental understanding of Genesis is essential as it lays the groundwork for the entire Biblical narrative, providing key insights that illuminate the rest of Scripture. Reflect on these stories, considering their implications for faith, family, and forgiveness in our lives today. Join us in uncovering how these ancient narratives continue to resonate and inspire, and how they establish a foundation that will enhance your comprehension of the entire Bible.

Thank you for joining me on this exploratory journey through Genesis 49 and our speculative mapping of the tribes of Israel to modern nations and cultures. As we've seen, each tribe's blessing holds potential clues that might resonate with the characteristics of various global communities. This exercise is not about drawing firm conclusions but rather about expanding our perspectives and appreciating the depth of biblical texts in a contemporary context.
I encourage you to reflect on this discussion and consider your own views. Do you see other potential connections? How does exploring these possibilities affect your understanding of the biblical narrative and its relevance today? Feel free to share your thoughts and insights

Dive into the profound narrative of Genesis 48, where Jacob blesses his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, placing the younger before the elder—a decision that may reflect divine influence from Yahuah.
This video explores whether Jacob's choice was his own or inspired by divine observation, similar to Yahuah's watchful eye over figures like Cain, Abel, and the patriarchs themselves.
We also discuss the significance of Yahusha, from the tribe of Ephraim, noted for his fearlessness in the conquest of Canaan and the fall of Jericho's walls, encapsulated in his call to action: "Choose you this day."
As you listen and reflect on these scriptures, envision the transformative power of the Word—how it nurtures every cell, expands the heart, enriches wisdom, and feeds the soul.
Join us for an enlightening exploration into how these ancient blessings and choices echo through spiritual growth and destiny.

Finding yourself in a tough environment, it can seem like the only way to get ahead is through the street life—dealing, pimping, selling your body, trafficking, stealing, or running with gangs. While this path might bring quick money, it often leads to an early grave or prison. It may seem like you have no other choice, but here's your first step to freedom. Listen, reflect, and implement these principles as the opportunity permits. You'll get there; we are all on this journey together.

The wisdom in Proverbs 12 lays out a better blueprint for truly leveling up in a sustainable way:

Hard Work and Legit Hustle: Proverbs 12 emphasizes the value of hard work and hustle through legitimate means, such as starting your own business or mastering a skilled trade. Put in an honest grind, and you'll be "satisfied with bread"—able to properly provide for yourself and your family.

Integrity and Honesty: It highlights the importance of integrity and being real with your words and yourself. Lying and deceiving only lead to trouble down the road. But if you move with honesty and truth, people will respect and commend your wisdom.

Compassion and Kindness: It advocates compassion, even towards animals. Showing you're not heartless goes a long way in how others perceive you and the kind of person you are.

Long-Term Stability: Most importantly, it warns that the wicked and those running shady games get caught up and "overthrown" eventually. But those moving right, with a solid foundation, their "house shall stand" firm.

So while the hustle may seem tempting for a quick come up, Proverbs 12 is saying the real way to level up for the long haul is through hard work, truth, integrity, and compassion. That's how you build something lasting and avoid ending up another tragic statistic.

In a world that often feels like a staged arena, where leaders change stances as quickly as actors change roles, we invite you to look beyond the surface. This video explores how, for many centuries, societal divisions and manipulations have served to distract and control, echoing the deceptions of Satan himself. From luring a third of the angels to betraying humanity from the very beginning, the enemy has always plotted against us, using our weaknesses against us.
Yet, amidst the chaos, Scripture offers us a steady beacon of hope. Daniel 2:21 reminds us, "He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others," affirming that it is Yahuah who oversees the rise and fall of powers. We are called to 'choose this day whom you will serve' (Joshua 24:15), to live by example and turn our communities towards the light of truth.
Just as the lilies do not labor nor spin, yet are clothed in splendor (Matthew 6:28-30), we are reminded not to worry. The allure of wealth and power may turn to dust, as prophesied in Ezekiel 7:19, where silver and gold are rendered worthless in the day of wrath. But for those who stand with Yahuah, a thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you (Psalm 91:7).
This call to action is not just a reflection on past spiritual battles but a direct engagement in the ongoing struggle for our souls. As we saw in Nineveh, a city transformed by repentance through Jonah's message, there is immense power in collective change. We must rise, repent, and realign with Yahuah’s commands, restoring the moral fabric of our society.
In moments of despair or adversity, let Yahuah's promise to rebuke the devourer for your sake (Malachi 3:11) be your comfort. Open your Bible, sing praises, and immerse yourself in the Word. Join us as we navigate these trying times, not in fear, but in faith, knowing that with Yahuah, we can face any challenge and emerge stronger.
Action Steps: Reflect on your life’s priorities and make meaningful changes. Engage with your family in spiritual growth, show respect and patience, and embrace a pace of life that fosters peace and resilience. Together, we can change the narrative from fear to faith, from division to unity.

Explore the profound narrative of Genesis 47, where Joseph, acting as a divine agent, ensures the survival of his family and the Egyptians during a severe famine. This episode is not just a story of earthly provision but a foretelling of divine protection and selection as seen in Revelation 7:4-8, where 144,000 servants of God from the twelve tribes of Israel are sealed for protection in the end times.
Key Scriptures:
* Ezekiel 47:13-14: This prophecy of land division among the tribes of Israel serves as a precursor to the heavenly sealing described in Revelation, illustrating a divine plan that spans from earthly provision to heavenly salvation.
* Revelation 7:4-8: The sealing of the 144,000 highlights themes of divine selection and protection, paralleling Joseph’s role during the famine.
* Acts 7:11-15 (Stephen's message):"Now there came a famine throughout all the land of Egypt and Kena'an, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance. But when Ya'aqob heard that there was grain in Mitsrayim, he sent out our fathers first. And at the second time, Yosef was made known to his brothers, and Yosef's family became known to the Pharaoh. Then Yosef sent and called his father Ya'aqob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. So Ya'aqob went down to Mitsrayim, and he died, he and our fathers."

Note on Isaac:
It's noteworthy that within the patriarchal lineage, Isaac stands out as the only forefather who never set foot in Egypt. This contrasts with Abraham, who did go to Egypt during a famine, and Ya'aqob, who also went down to Egypt later under different circumstances. Even the Mashiach, Yahusha, was taken to Egypt as a child to escape Herod’s decree, fulfilling the prophecy, "Out of Egypt I called my Son." Isaac’s non-travel to Egypt remains a unique aspect of his life, potentially symbolizing a different type of covenantal faithfulness or divine protection.

"Refuge in Goshen" is a poem that unfolds the profound journey of Jacob and his descendants as they seek sanctuary in the land of Goshen during a time of famine and uncertainty. Inspired by the biblical narrative of Genesis, this song captures the essence of divine guidance and protection.
Verse 1:
In Canaan's whispers, under stars so bright,Jacob saw visions that pierced the night."Fear not the journey to lands unknown,For in Egypt, my refuge, my hand shall be shown."
Chorus:
Seventy souls in Goshen's embrace,Nurtured by Yahuah, in a foreign place.From famine's grip to a nation grand,Shaped by His will, by His command.
Verse 2:
Through fields of green where the Nile meets sand,They found their sanctuary by Yahuah’s hand.From Joseph's tears to dreams he once told,A family's bond turned to courage bold.
Chorus:
Seventy souls in Goshen's embrace,Nurtured by Yahuah, in a foreign place.From famine's grip to a nation grand,Shaped by His will, by His command.
Bridge:
Years into decades, under Pharaoh's gaze,Their spirits tempered, like steel in blaze.From bondage and darkness, their resolve took flight,Prepared for the day they'd walk into the light.
Outro:
Hold to the promise when nights draw long,In Yahuah's mercy, where each heart finds its song.As dawn chases darkness, so His light clears our way,From Goshen's refuge, we'll rise at break of day.

In Genesis 46, we witness a profound moment in the biblical narrative—the reunion of Jacob, now called Yisharal, with his sons in Egypt. This chapter not only marks a pivotal turn in the lives of the patriarch and his descendants but also signifies the unfolding of divine promises. As Israel sets out with all he possesses, he stops at Beersheba to offer sacrifices to the Alahim of his father Isaac, where Yahuah reassures him in a vision. Encouraged, Israel proceeds to Egypt, bringing not just his sons but also his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—a total of seventy souls, entering a land of both promise and trial.
The chapter details each of Israel's sons and their descendants, underscoring the importance of each tribe in the formation of the nation. From Reuben, the firstborn, to Benjamin, each name carries a story of struggle, hope, and divine providence. As they settle in Goshen, a place apart within Egypt, we see a strategic move designed to preserve their identity as shepherds—a profession despised by the Egyptians.
This poignant reunion between Joseph and Jacob, where tears of joy are shed and past sorrows momentarily forgotten, highlights the emotional depth of familial bonds and the overarching narrative of redemption that threads through their lives. Join us as we delve into this moving chapter, reflecting on how perseverance, faith, and divine guidance navigate us through our most challenging times to bring about reunification and fulfillment of Yahuah’s promises.
1. Yisrael (Yaqub) - "He struggles with God" or "God prevails". This name was given to Jacob after wrestling with an angel, symbolizing his spiritual struggles and victories.
2. Reuben (Rauben) - "See, a son". His name is a testament to Leah's hope that Jacob would love her upon bearing him a son.
3. Simeon (Shimeun) - "Heard". Leah named him this because Yahuah had heard that she was unloved.
4. Levi (Lui) - "Attached" or "joined". Named so because Leah hoped that Jacob would become attached to her after bearing him three sons.
5. Judah (Yahudah) - "Praise". Leah praised Yahuah upon his birth.
6. Issachar (Yissaskar) - Likely means "there is recompense" or "man of hire", reflecting Leah's hope for reward in her marital struggles.
7. Zebulun (Zebulun) - "Dwelling" or "honor"; Leah hoped that with his birth, her husband would honor her.
8. Gad - "Good fortune". This was a proclamation of Leah’s fortune at his birth.
9. Asher - "Happy" or "blessed". Leah felt blessed at his birth.
10. Joseph (Yosef) - "May he add". Rachel named him with the hope that Yahuah would add another son to her.
11. Benjamin (Benyamin) - "Son of the right hand" or "son of the south", named by his father Jacob as the only son born in the Promised Land, and in his old age.
12. Dan - "He judged". Rachel named him, celebrating her sense of divine justice in her rivalry with Leah.
13. Naphtali (Naftali) - "My struggle", named by Rachel who felt she struggled with her sister Leah.

Food for Thought Description

In the poignant narrative of Genesis 45, Yosef reveals himself to his brothers who had sold him into slavery, a moment of profound recognition and forgiveness. This scene echoes in the New Testament when Yahusha, not initially recognized as the Messiah, was finally understood by His disciples in the breaking of bread after His resurrection (Luke 24:30-31). Similarly, Yosef's forgiveness of his brothers prefigures Yahusha’s teachings on the necessity of limitless forgiveness, as He instructs Kepha (Peter) to forgive "seventy times seven times" (Matthew 18:21-22), emphasizing the boundless nature of divine forgiveness.
Preservation and Providence Through Trials:
The biblical theme of preserving a remnant through adversity is vividly portrayed in the stories of Noach and the great flood and the later exiles of Israel and Yahudah. Despite judgment, a remnant is always preserved, which Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 10:20-22 highlights as a return to the mighty Alahim. This theme is also encapsulated in Yosef’s life, where seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine demonstrate Yahuah’s providential care. Yosef’s divinely inspired strategy not only anticipates the hardships but also ensures Mitsrayim's (Egypt's) survival, symbolizing both preparation and providence.
The Symbolic Completeness of the Number 7:
Central to Yosef's story and Biblical creation, the number 7 symbolizes completeness and divine orchestration. In Bereshith (Genesis) 1, Yahuah's creation of the world in six days, culminating in a seventh day of rest, establishes a pattern of completion and sanctity that resonates through scriptural narratives. The seven-year cycle in Yosef’s era underlines that survival and reunion sometimes require enduring a complete cycle of hardship, as seen when Ya'akov (Jacob) moves to Mitsrayim to be with Yosef, ensuring his family's survival through the remaining five years of famine.
Insightful Reflection:
The decision of Ya'akov to move his family to Mitsrayim, driven by the continuation of the famine, underscores the theme that Yahuah’s plans often require enduring through a complete cycle of challenges for fulfillment. Had the famine been shorter, Ya'akov might have remained in Kena'an (Canaan), altering the course of biblical history and the essential lessons we draw from these narratives.

Join us as we delve into Genesis 44, exploring the pivotal moment where Joseph tests his brothers. This chapter not only highlights Joseph’s strategic mind but also sets the stage for profound lessons in faithfulness, integrity, and divine providence.
Let's draw parallels between Joseph, the visionary governor of Egypt, and David (Daud), the beloved king of Israel. Both figures exemplify qualities that reflect the heart that seeks Yahuah through their actions and decisions.
Faithfulness in Adversity:
* Joseph: Genesis 39:21-23 — "But Yahuah was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison."
* David: 1 Samuel 23:14 — "And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. Alahim did not deliver him into the hand of Saul."
Integrity:
* Joseph: Genesis 39:8-9 — "But he refused and said to his master’s wife, ‘Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand... how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against Alahim?’"
* David: 1 Samuel 24:6 — "And he said to his men, ‘Yahuah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Yahuah’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of Yahuah.’"
Leadership and Wisdom:
* Joseph: Genesis 41:38-39 — "And Pharaoh said to his servants, ‘Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of Alahim?’ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘Inasmuch as Alahim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.’"
* David: 2 Samuel 5:10 — "And David went on and grew great, and Yahuah Alahim of hosts was with him."
Forgiveness and Compassion:
* Joseph: Genesis 50:21 — "Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.’ And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them."
* David: 2 Samuel 9:1,7 — "Then David said, ‘Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?’... So David said to him, ‘Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.'"
Providence and Trust in Yahuah:
* Joseph: Genesis 45:5-8 — "But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for Alahim sent me before you to preserve life... So now it was not you who sent me here, but Alahim."
* David: Psalm 18:2 — "Yahuah is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My Alahim, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
Resilience:
* Joseph: Genesis 41:52 — "The name of the second he called Ephraim: ‘For Alahim has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.’"
* David: Psalm 59:16 — "But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble."

In Genesis 43, we witness the unfolding of divine promises as the journey of faith set in motion by Yahuah continues. From Abraham's covenant to Isaac's miraculous birth and Jacob's journey to Egypt, each step in this saga echoes the faithfulness of Yahuah and the fulfillment of His promises. Join us as we delve into the depths of Genesis 43, exploring how the threads of divine providence weave through the tapestry of generations, leading us to Yahusha, the ultimate fulfillment of Yahuah's covenant.
Scriptural parallels:
1. Abraham's Covenant with Yahuah:
* Genesis 15:13-14 - "Then Yahuah said to Abram, 'Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.'"
* Galatians 3:6-9 - "So also Abraham ‘believed Yahuah, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that Yahuah would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.' So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith."
*
2. Isaac's Birth and the Continuation of the Covenant:
* Genesis 21:1-3 - "Now Yahuah was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and Yahuah did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time Yahuah had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him."
* Luke 1:13, 18-20 - "But the angel said to him: 'Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.' Zechariah asked the angel, 'How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.' The angel said to him, 'I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of Yahuah, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.'"
3. Jacob's Journey to Egypt:
* Genesis 46:1-4 - "So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the Yahuah, the Alahim of his father Isaac. And Yahuah spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, 'Jacob! Jacob!' 'Here I am,' he replied. 'I am Yahuah, the Alahim of your father,' he said. 'Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.'"

Scriptures Referenced:
* James 1:2-4: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
* 1 Peter 1:6-7: "In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Yahusha the Messiah is revealed."

Though you put on crimson,
though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
you adorn yourself in vain.
Your lovers despise you, they seek your life.
Like keepers of a field they are against her all around,
because she has rebelled against Me
For My people are foolish, they have not known Me.
They are stupid children, and they have no understanding.
They are wise to do evil,
but to do good they have no knowledge.
This is your evil, because it is bitter,
because it has reached into your heart.
wash your heart from evil, and be delivered.
Till when would your wicked thoughts remain within you?
“Woe to me, for my being faints because of murderers!”
“If you do return, O Yisharal,” says Yahuah,
“return to Me.
And if you remove your abomination from My presence,
and cease straying, and shall swear,
‘As Yahuah lives,’ in truth, in lawfulness, and in obedience,
then nations shall bless themselves in Yahuah,
and they shall boast in Yahuah!”

In this chapter we desire turning away from our transgressions and re-embracing the divine guidance to lead us back to the metaphorical Garden—where peace, closeness, and spiritual fulfillment with our Creator await. While in a world increasingly marked by geopolitical tensions, including the critical situations involving Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan, NATO, Iran, and Israel, Yahusha’s words remind us powerfully: we will hear of wars and rumors of wars. However, amidst these alarming developments, we are called not to succumb to fear but to seek refuge under Yahuah’s protective wing.
This video revisits the comforting scriptures from Jeremiah 4 and Psalms, highlighting how, despite the threat of thousands falling at our side and ten thousand at our other side, we can remain secure and steadfast. King David's faith amidst his battles reassures us of Yahuah’s constant guidance and protection.
We will explore how, amid global tensions and moral decay, we can rejuvenate our spirits by embracing Yahuah’s promises. By walking closely with Him, we aim to return to the garden of His presence, where happiness, joy, and peace are abundant. Let’s delve into the scriptures to understand how to maintain our spiritual poise and continue our journey back to the peace of the Garden, shielded from the world's chaos.
Imagine if the whole earth returned to the Creator of the same, what total bliss it would be—a world united in peace, living in the fullness of joy.
Join us as we uncover these timeless truths, encouraging each other to find solace and strength in Yahuah’s enduring protection, and to live fearlessly with the assurance of His care. Let's inspire one another to embrace the peace that comes from walking with our Heavenly Father, even as regions around us face unrest and strife.

Today, we witness many who seek to elevate themselves or their institutions to a divine status, craving honor and recognition that should only be reserved for Yahuah. These modern-day 'anti-Christs' lead people astray, pursuing paths of self-aggrandizement that mimic the rebellion seen in scriptural tales, where beings like Satan sought to usurp Yahuah’s place. These actions echo the broader theme of betrayal that Yahuah has felt from those He cherishes.
As you listen to the song 'Follow Not' and read through Jeremiah, consider Yahuah’s heart. Reflect on the emotional weight He carries due to the repeated betrayals. Yet, His message through Jeremiah—a young man raised to speak bold truths to a wayward people—reminds us of Yahuah's enduring hope for reconciliation. He still reaches out, still calls for a return to faithfulness.
Let this understanding strengthen you. As you grow by engaging with scripture, think of what it means to truly honor Yahuah’s heart. He would cherish a return to faithfulness, an alignment of our lives with His ways, recognizing His rightful place in our lives and our world. Yahuah’s heart, ever hopeful, calls us back, inviting us to heal the breach, to restore what was lost, and to live in the light of His love and truth.

Song Title: "Follow Not"
Verse 1:
They started out as simple folks,
With a book in hand and a couple of jokes,
But soon enough they’re all divine,
From a humble priest to a vine of vines.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
Who turn their humble staff to sway,
From leader to lord, then a god they claim,
In the end, it’s just a dangerous game.
Verse 2:
Now he’s got a robe with golden seams,
And whispers of a thousand dreams,
‘End of days’—he’s got the date,
But first, he’s got a dinner at eight.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
From the simple truths to a flashy display,
From prophet to messiah, they switch their lanes,
Watch your step, it’s just one of their games.
Bridge:
Says leave your kin, give all you own,
To him who sits on a makeshift throne,
Starve for truth while he feasts on lies,
And the only truth’s the tears in your eyes.
Verse 3:
Beware the leader who claims your spouse,
Turns a community to a haunted house,
Who breaks the law yet claims he’s the law,
The higher they climb, the harder they fall.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
Who break commandments and lead you astray,
No golden calves or messiahs of clay,
Keep your soul, don’t give it away.
Outro:
So heed the lesson Jeremiah told,
In scriptures, find your stronghold,
Guard your heart with truths you learn,
From false shepherds, you must turn.
For those who lead with a false decree,
Aren’t the shepherds they claim to be.

In Jeremiah Chapter 3, Yahuah uses a powerful metaphor to describe His pain: the feeling of betrayal akin to discovering a spouse's infidelity. Imagine a friend, or perhaps even yourself, finding out about a partner's affair. The foundations of trust and shared life are shattered in an instant. This heartbreak is profound, the sense of betrayal deep.
Yahuah draws on this human experience to express His own heartbreak when His people turn away from Him—when they chase idols or betray His commandments. It's like the pain He felt in the Garden of Eden, a betrayal that foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice: the life of His son. Even as Yahuah provided for Adam and Eve, making them garments, His heart was breaking. This was not just about disobedience; it was a deep relational breach And let's hear directly from the text: Alahim said, “If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man’s, does he return to her again? Would not that land be made greatly unclean? But you have committed whoring with many lovers. And would you return to Me?” says Yahuah. “Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see: where have you not lain with men? Besides the ways you have sat for them like an Arabian in the wilderness. And you made the land unclean with your whorings and your evil. Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain. You have had a whore’s forehead, you refuse to be ashamed. Shall you not from now on cry to Me, ‘My father, You are the guide of my youth? ‘Does one bear a grudge forever? Does one keep it to the end?’ See, you have spoken and done the evils that you could.” And Yahuah said to me in the days of Yashyahu the king, “Have you seen what backsliding Yisharal has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there committed whoring. And after she had done all these, I said ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Yahudah saw it. And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Yisharal had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Yahudah did not fear, but went and committed whoring too. And it came to be, through her frivolous whoring, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and wood. And yet for all this her treacherous sister Yahudah has not turned to Me with all her heart, but falsely,” says Yahuah. And Yahuah said to me, “Backsliding Yisharal has shown herself more obedient than treacherous Yahudah. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, O backsliding Yisharal,’ says Yahuah, ‘I shall not look on you in displeasure, for I am kind,’ says Yahuah, ‘and I do not bear a grudge forever. ‘Only, acknowledge your lawlessness, because you have transgressed against Yahuah your Alahim, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed My voice,’ says Yahuah. “Return, O backsliding children,” sa

Today's menu delves deeper into the consequences of Israel's infidelity and their pursuit of worthless idols as Jeremiah vehemently argues Yahuah’s case against His people. As Jeremiah recounts, 'My people have changed their glory for that which does not profit,' he articulates the tragedy of Israel forsaking Yahuah, 'the fountain of living waters,' for broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
This part examines how Israel's spiritual adultery not only jeopardizes their own peace and blessings but also diminishes their role as Yahuah’s exemplary nation among the Gentiles. The episode discusses the implications of Israel's actions—turning away from a life-giving relationship with Yahuah and neglecting their mission to lead the nations towards righteousness and divine love. We reflect on how adherence to Yahuah's laws is meant not merely for Israel's benefit but as a paradigm of divine justice and peace that could transform the world."

This first portion sets the stage by introducing Jeremiah's poignant reflections on Israel's past devotion and their current spiritual crisis. As Yahuah recalls the 'kindness of your youth' and the time when Israel followed Him faithfully in the wilderness, He contrasts it with their present state of betrayal and idolatry.
We begin by examining Yahuah's lament over Israel's forgotten fidelity, as outlined in the early verses of Jeremiah 2. Which highlights how Israel's departure from Yahuah’s laws not only estranged them from their God but also failed to serve as a beacon to the nations, as originally intended. Here, we integrate the profound message from Deuteronomy 4:6-8, where Yahuah outlines the purpose of His laws: 'Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations... What other nation is so great as to have their Alahim near them the way Yahuah our Alahim is near us whenever we pray to Him?' This scripture underlines the intended impact of Israel’s obedience as a model for peaceful and wise living that could inspire the world."

Explore the profound beginnings of Jeremiah's prophetic journey in 'Called Before Birth: Jeremiah's Divine Commission.' This episode delves into Jeremiah 1, where the words of YirmeYahu reveal a stunning pre-ordained call from Yahuah. Appointed as a prophet 'before forming you in the belly,' Jeremiah’s life is marked by a divine mandate that stretches beyond the borders of Judah to the nations (Goyim), emphasizing a universal message of judgment and restoration.
Jeremiah's early encounters with Yahuah highlight themes of youthful inadequacy overcome by divine empowerment, as Yahuah reassures him, 'Do not say, "I am a youth,"' and promises steadfast support (Jeremiah 1:7). This chapter sets the stage for a dramatic narrative filled with visual and verbal prophecies—like the almond tree and the boiling pot—each underscoring Yahuah’s vigilance and impending actions against the nations.
Reflecting a pattern seen throughout the scriptures, Yahuah also called Moses, who expressed his own insecurities about speaking before Pharaoh. Yahuah provided Moses with Aaron as his spokesman, illustrating His provision and support for those He calls (Exodus 4:10-12). Similarly, John the Baptist was called from the womb to prepare the way for Yahusha, heralding a new era of redemption (Luke 1:13-17).
These stories of divine calling reinforce the timeless message that Yahuah equips and empowers His chosen servants, demonstrating His ongoing engagement in the affairs of humankind and His sovereign will being carried out across generations."
Additional Supporting Scripture References with Yahuah and Yahusha:
* Exodus 4:10-12 - "Moses said to Yahuah, 'Pardon your servant, Yahuah. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.' Yahuah said to him, 'Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, Yahuah? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.'"
* Luke 1:13-17 - "But the angel said to him: 'Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of Yahuah. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. He will bring back many of the people of Israel to Yahuah their Alahim. And he will go on before Yahusha, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for Yahusha.'"
