Have Holy Days Become Just Holidays?

This time of the year is notorious for people being busier than normal.

In USA the nation celebrates Thanksgiving on 27th November. It causes an increase in travel, preparations for visitors and buying food to feed the families that reunite every year. Decorations for the day are an added project, along with cooking and serving a large turkey meal.

In less than one month preparations for Christmas celebrations begin. This time with added expense of gifts which are exchanged. The debts begin to mount up along with the stress. Around the world where Christians remember and celebrate the birth of Messiah, Christmas is a big event; and yet it spawns the opposite of what part of the angels message in Luke 2:14 was …. “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth PEACE, goodwill toward men!”

For many families, shalom/peace is the last thing that describes this time of the year. The Holy Days have transitioned into simply holidays just like the word itself.

We are not to forget the original reason for these celebrations by getting caught up in gift giving and days of over eating, which seems to have expanded to include the New Year as well. For new readers it must be mentioned here that December 25th is probably not when Messiah was born; and Western New Year celebration is very pagan in origin, as the Gregorian calendar is not the same as the Hebrew one. We have looked at these subjects in previous posts. However back to the shalom/peace the angels spoke of, in context: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

This peace/shalom seems to be in short supply during these winter festivities, as the focus moves further and further away from the birth of our beloved Messiah.

The priest Zechariah saw in the birth of Messiah the coming of God’s light “to guide our feet into the path of peace”. Luke 1:79.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. / Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.

He is the Prince of Peace the Sar Shalom and in the Hebrew word Shalom is the fullness of all that is missing from our lives. When two Jewish people meet, they greet each other with “Shalom,” and when they depart, they also say, “Shalom.” shalom – שׁלום comes from the root: sh-l-m, which means: to be complete, sound, or whole, denoting wholeness or completeness, 

Along with peace, it means much more than the absence of war or other disturbances. The word carries the ideas of health, prosperity, safety, completeness, harmony, and fulfillment. It speaks of a full and satisfying life.

Shalom does not describe just the absence of something, (such as war or anxiety), but rather the presence of something. It’s a state of wholeness, harmony, and divine order. Shalom is what happens when everything is functioning according to our Heavenly Father’s design.

This one Hebrew word holds the key to understanding:

the heart of our Heavenly Father,

the mission of the Messiah,

and the kind of life we are called to build in partnership with Him.

Insert the full meaning of shalom/peace in the following scriptures for an amplified understanding.

Luke 19:38
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

Ephesians 2:14-18
For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility / by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace / and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility. …

Yeshua doesn’t just give shalom. HE iS shalom. His mission was to reconcile heaven and earth, Jew and Gentile, humanity and our Heavenly Father.

Colossians 1:19-20
For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, / and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.

Hebrews 13:20-21
Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, / equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Isaiah 57:19
bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

Psalm 29:11
The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

Micah 5:5
And He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and tramples our citadels. We will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

Zechariah 9:9-10
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. / And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.

Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 1:2
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance

When Yeshua appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, His first words were “Shalom aleichem,” which means, “Peace be upon you.” He wasn’t just offering comfort; He was announcing victory because through His death and resurrection, the broken relationship and loss of shalom/peace between Father God and humanity was healed. The curse was reversed and true shalom had been made possible again.

When Yeshua speaks shalom/peace… He creates shalom/peace because the words that He speaks are always spirit – ruach and life- chaim.

We should ask ourselves have we ever truly received what Yeshua speaks?

My peace/shalom I GIVE to you ….. GIVE is in the present tense – NOT in a past or future tense…it’s Now. Now faith, today, this moment. This peace/shalom comes from looking into His face and fully understanding and receiving His quiet contentment in the fullness of its Hebrew meaning.

Reflecting His shalom/peace is proof that we are in right relationship with our Heavenly Father because we are exhibiting the freedom to turn our minds to Him. If we are not right with the Father we can never turn our mind anywhere but on ourselves. Allowing anything to hide the face of Messiah Yeshua/Jesus from us either causes us to become troubled, or gives us a false sense of security.

When we communicate with Yeshua confusion stops. We are troubled when we don’t take Him into account. In Him there is no confusion. We are to do as Hebrews 12:2 says: looking unto Jesus and receive His Peace/Shalom as He creates it for us. If we try to worry our way out of a problem we destroy His effectiveness in us. As He walks toward us on the waters of the sorrows of our lives, we will hear His voice calling our name above the sound of the storm saying: Peace/Shalom.. Be still…Be still and know that I am God. When we are tempted to despair or be anxious in a present difficult situation, when everything seems chaotic and the pressures of life seem to overwhelm us…we are to remember Phil. 4:6 and …. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace/shalom of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

It is all part of our Heavenly Fathers plan and He is working out the details of the circumstances so that He can bless us and reveal Himself to us in a new way.

This ‘busy-ness’ we tend to fall into, reminds us of the account of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:42 as Messiah asks us the same question:

What is most important to you?

Psalm 119:165 says Those who love your Torah have great shalom/peace nothing makes them stumble.

Living in shalom/peace means much more than feeling calm during chaos. It’s a lifestyle of alignment with our Heavenly Father’s purposes in every area of life—spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical.

Some practical expressions of shalom:

In the area of reconciliation by repairing relationships and avoiding conflict.

In generosity by sharing resources so that no one lacks what they need.

For justice by standing against systems that oppress or devalue others.

On Shabbat/Sabbath by making time and space for rest and renewal which is the rhythm of creation itself.

By displaying integrity in living whole and being the same person in private and in public.

In the ancient world, when people greeted one another with shalom, they weren’t saying, ‘I hope you’re relaxed.’ They were declaring, ‘I desire for your life to be whole.’

Yeshua’s central message was the Kingdom of God. And His Kingdom is the ultimate expression of shalom/peace: The rule of our Heavenly Father bringing order and wholeness to a broken world.

In Hebrew thought, peace/shalom is never separated from justice. As Isaiah 32:17says,

“The work of righteousness will be peace (shalom), and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.”

That’s why shalom -peace and tzedek righteousness, always go together, hand in hand. When He reigns, peace and righteousness kiss. Psalm 85:10. For followers of Yeshua, pursuing shalom means joining His mission to bring heaven’s order into the chaos of earth.

“You keep him in perfect peace (shalom shalom) whose mind is stayed on You.”

That double expression, shalom shalom, suggests complete peace: peace with our Heavenly Father, within ourselves, and with others. It’s a reminder that divine wholeness begins in the heart and radiates outward.

During these ‘holydays,’ may the shalom/peace of our Heavenly Father replace all chaos, worry, anxiety and stress and fill our hearts and minds in Messiah with nothing missing, nothing broken, complete, wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.

Shalom, I give you, Shalom, I leave with you. 

Shalom, Shalom ‘Mishpachah’

Wars And Rumors Of Wars

In Matthew 24 Yeshua/Jesus was answering His disciples questions about the end of the age.

He warned them that they would hear of wars and rumors of wars but not to be troubled or afraid.

His words ring true today to all who declare they are His disciples. We are in a season of hearing about wars that threaten the stability of nations and the destruction of peoples lives. It may not be right on our doorstep at this exact moment but somewhere it is on the doorstep of our brothers and sisters in Messiah. This is a time for us to intercede for them not only for their safety but also for the will plan and purposes of our Heavenly Father to be fulfilled.

There are many scriptures that we lean on in times of unrest, war and violence, Psalms 23 and 91 are favorites and there are those that encourage us, reminding us that He is in control and He is our protection.  In Proverbs 18:10, we read of this security: He is our strong tower and we are to run into Him. “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe.”

Another well known promise can be found in

Psalm 139:5 
HEB: אָח֣וֹר וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י
NAS: You have enclosed me behind
KJV: Thou hast beset me behind and before,

The different translations have various words for beset:

enclosed, hem in,

go before, hedged me,

all around me.

The Hebrew Word here for

beset

is

tsur or tzur or tsuwr

צוּר

Transliteration: tsuwr

Pronunciation: tsoor

Phonetic Spelling: tsoor

KJV: adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, lay siege, put up in bags

Word Origin: [a primitive root] to cramp, i.e. confine (in many applications, literally and figuratively, formative or hostile)

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance

adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind up, cast, distress, fashion,

A primitive root; to cramp, i.e. Confine (in many applications, literally and figuratively, formative or hostile) — adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, lay siege, put up in bags.

Brown-Driver-Briggs

צוּר verb confine, bind, besiege (Late Hebrew id., wrap (rare); Aramaic צוּר besiege, beleaguer); —

As a noun, this is what Moses struck to get water out of a rock.  

It is also used for a fortress or fortified city.  

The word for

behind is ‘achor 

which has the idea of

behind or past,

and the word 

qedem means: 

to go forward. 

That Hebrew word ends with the letter m, which in Hebrew has to be a closed mem, pointing to the hidden or unknown, as is our future. This expression achor vaqedem in this verse, expresses past and future.  So we could say that:

in my past and future, my Heavenly Father.. tsur – besets me.  

The word tsur is used as a verb here and is in a qal perfect form.  It is best expressed as:

you have entrenched me or fortified me. 

 So we could say,

in my past and in my future you have already fortified or entrenched me.

NASB Translation besieged (3), defense (1), fortified (1), fortress (1), rampart (1), siege (17), siegeworks (1).

When David looked at the unrest in the nation, it was not too encouraging; a generation later there was civil war there. The Assyrians were a threat to their peace and safety and there was also to the throne itself when Davids son turned on him and he had to run for his life with a price on his head. 

David faced the compounding pressures and fears of being a king every day, but when he woke in the morning, he was reminded that YHVH had

sur..

fortified him, entrenched him or hedged him.  

That hedge or fortress was around him in the past

and it was around him right at that moment

and would continue to be around him in his future.

We too can depend on this promise for ourselves and our families.

In the next part of the verse David says

You laid your hand upon me.

laid

Strong’s Hebrew: 3709. כָּף (kaph) —

hollow or flat of the hand, palm, sole (of the foot)

Strong’s Hebrew: 3028. יַד (yad) — hand 

This is not the word yad for hand but is built upon that word. 

This is more specific and means the palm of the hand. 

Strong’s Hebrew: 6447. פַּס (pas) — palm (of the hand)

... 6447. pas Strong’s Concordance pas: palm (of the hand)

Original Word ... פַס

Part of Speech: Noun Masculine

Transliteration: pas

Definition: palm (of the hand)

NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin

(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to pacac; the palm (of the hand, as being spread out) —

 The verse literally says:

You have set me in the palm of your hand.

Interestingly the ancient Hebrew did believe that a persons heart was in the palm of the hand, and if we think like that, David was saying that

he would not fear or live in dread of the future,

for he is sheltered in the heart of God.

With recent events occurring and conflicts escalating for many the future is terrifying and uncertain. There are reports of riots and mass shootings and people fear going to school or special events. There are also threats of terrorists with weapons of mass destruction, destroying water supplies or releasing a biological weapon and we could spend all day worrying and fretting anxiously over the future.

Or…

we can be like David whose faith and eyes are on our Heavenly Father and say:  

My past, present, and future is entrenched in You and should a disaster happen, You will tsur /fortify me because I will be sheltered in the hollow of Your hand and resting in Your heart.

Messiah warns us that… Men’s hearts will fail them with fear.

In a sense, we are getting a taste of the fear and dread that David felt, the realization that within 24 hours our comfortable lifestyle, our abundance of food, water, and health could suddenly change. 

Our Heavenly Father has granted us all the privilege of protection and we need to realize that when we are sheltered in the palm of His hand or in His heart, there is no need to be fearful. We have been hemmed in. Remember this concept comes from the Hebrew word tsuwr, which is often used of a military siege or fortification.

Verse 5 in Psalms 139 speaks profoundly about our Heavenly Father’s omnipresence and the comfort that comes with this truth because it expresses the idea that He surrounds us on all sides.

You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past.

 It profoundly illustrates His deep love and care for us, the imagery stirs up feelings of safety, security, and intimate connection with Him, expressing His presence and protection.

In Phil 4:7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that [a]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [b]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amplified.

His promises to garrison, guard and keep us in times of trouble..these are the ones that we firmly take hold of.

Weymouth New Testament
And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.

When we keep our eyes on Yeshua/Jesus and look into His face and hear His heart, the fears of and things in this world grow strangely dim… in the light of His glory and grace.

Shalom aleikhem

chaverim and mishpachah!

Peace to friends and family.

Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.

So in obedience to His loving request,

Let not your heart be troubled

John 14 1-6 27

His Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit has instructions for

the person who hears bad news.

A good man shows favor, and he lends:

he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever:

the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:

his heart is FIXED,

trusting in the LORD

(Psalm 112:5-7).

We do indeed seem to be living in days of evil tidings!!

These are days of disclosure, demonstration and decrees which are determined by our Lord and are for our final deliverance.. so be determined and disciplined daily for we may soon hear things we never dreamed we would…don’t be moved off the ROCK of our salvation and stay under the Blood of the Lamb.

 We are to be

FIXED

and unable to be moved from the rock of our salvation. Test all things by the TRUTH of HIs Word….

Psalm 112 –

Praise the LORD.

Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands.

Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

This life is a

test

but more than that

it is the real thing!

There is NO RESET button,

it is the only life we get

So we could say…

This is not a drill!

 

Life is summed up in

Ecc. 12:13

13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.

The Fear of God is Utmost … (reverent respect the true awe!)

12 And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.

13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.…

Let him who has ears to hear

is in both

Mark 4:23 and Rev.3:22

We serve a great and mighty God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMasiach

Listen to the great voice of our Heavenly Father…

in

Psalm 29:3-9.

To Him who rides upon the highest heavens,

which are from ancient times;

Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;

The God of glory thunders,

The Lord is over many waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful,

The voice of the Lord is majestic.

There is a battle in the heavens which has been in progress for a long, long time; and whatever is transpiring in the heavens is outworking in the natural earthly realm and this is worldwide.

Ephesians tells us clearly what is happening and it behooves us to pay attention.

There is a war under way and prayer is the weapon of our warfare.

The words of scripture coming out of our mouth as the sword of His Spirit is what we are called to do.

The Lord gave us a spirit of Love, power and a sound mind.

2Tim.1:7

Be ready, be prepared, gird your loins, take your place and having done all stand in Jesus/Yeshua’s name.

Be FIXED… that is: be not moved by anything our 5 senses tell us in the physical realm..Instead,

trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.

Trust in our Father and believe also in Me said Yeshua.

Above all do not be anxious or troubled in your mind when we hear of evil tidings.

Our Father is in control and all things are purposed for our ultimate deliverance and salvation.

Keep your armor in place

stay under the Blood of Jesus/Yeshua

standing in the secret place of the Most High

under the shadow of His wings..

Psalm 91 is pertinent as with the last post….

In any emergency we are to cry out to our Father, look to Him always and in all circumstances.

He loves each and every one of you and

will not lose one

that that the Father has given into His hands.

Yeshua/Jesus says to us…

John 6:39

And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it to life on the last day.

He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and we are His children lets trust in Him becoming as a little child.

Have no fear nor be anxious Our Father sees it all…

Everything is in His hands and

He has already been in our tomorrow

because

He is the same

yesterday

today

and forever.

Galatians 5:1

Shalom, shalom, mishpachah!

You are loved and appreciated and prayed for daily.

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven.

The Sheltering Presence of God

Abides With Us

Always!

May we all remain

in the

Sukkah of His Loving Protection.

Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31). 

The cry for salvation at Tabernacles

is heard

and answered through

Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah,

for He came to 

save His people from their sins (Matt. 1:21).

Mish-pa-KHa,

friends, visitors and every reader…

Blessed are You, HaShem, Who spreads the Sukkat Shalom upon us, upon all of His people and upon Israel.

Please don’t leave this page before making certain Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

He is coming back very soon – so let’s keep looking up!

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

Its all about Life and Relationship, not Religion.

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.
