Is There Any Connection Between Words, Bees And The Emmaus Road?

Dvarim, or Debarim in Hebrew: דְּבָרִים,

Dewārim, literally. ‘things’ or ‘words’.

Recall the letter for B and V are the same in Hebrew.

Strong’s Number H1697 matches the Hebrew דָּבָר dāḇār,

biblehub.com › strongs › hebrew

From dabar; a word; by implication, a matter (as spoken of) or thing; adverbially, a cause — act, advice, affair, answer, X any such (thing), because of, book.

1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on that side of the Jordan in the desert, in the plain opposite the Red Sea, between Paran and Tofel and Lavan and Hazeroth.

Known as Deuteronomy, a Greek word that means “repetition of the Torah,”

derived from the Hebrew phrase:

מִשְׁנֵה הַתּוֹרָה, mishneh haTorah.

Deut. 17:18.

Devarim is also called “Mishne Torah” literally translated as the “repetition of the Torah.” Although there are 199 new commandments, (Mitzvos) counted in Devarim. 

The message embedded in Devarim/words is that together we must build a society that values justice, compassion, and mutual responsibility.

I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose thou life.

Deut. 30:19

Devorim/deborim (shortened) dborah/dvorah, {deb-o-raw’}; from dabar (in the sense of orderly motion);

Deut. 1:44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as BEES do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

Ps 118:12 They swarmed around me like BEES; They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns; In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off.

They surrounded me like BEES they were extinguished like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I destroyed them.

Judges 14:5 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of BEES and honey in the carcase of the lion.

You have The devarim/words of Life.

John 6:60-71 Peter replied, “Master, to whom would we go?

You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

Why are the words/the devarim, important to us today?

Many say that since Messiah Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Yeshua HaMashich has come, that we are under the new covenant (re-newed) and under grace; and don’t need the old Testament, the TaNaKH which includes the Torah.

The Torah/Towrah comprises the first 5 books or scrolls of Moses Moshe. Which in Hebrew is Devarim meaning Words. So named for the first words in verse 1. These are the words which Moses spoke.

This was Moses final speech before his death, literally thirty-seven days before his passing and the last volume of the Chumash, the final will of Moshe to the children of Israel before entering the promised land. He reiterated the conditions of the covenant and the instructions/directions, (that we call law), of Towrah/Torah, which is sometimes called the second law, or second giving of the law. This belief comes from the Greek name for the last of the 5 we know as Deuteronomy. Chumash is the English spelling of the Hebrew word for the number 5.

The most important thing to remember is that these 5 books are the very foundation of everything written in the Word of our Creator. Everything that is said anywhere in the Bible has its’ foundation in these 5 books. Please remember when Messiah came, the brit chadashah/the new testament had not been written, all they had were the TaNaKh scrolls; The Torah, Prophets and Writings. If we do not take the time to read, study and understand them, we will not have the true foundation upon which Messiah built. He came to reveal Himself as the Redeemer and fulfill every prophetic word about Himself. He also came to bring correct teaching and application of Torah, and to separate out the laws, commandments and rules; which had been added over the centuries by the Pharisees and Scribes these were not in the original words given to Moses for the children of Israel.

Messiah is revealed in the writings of Moses and He said so in John 5:46. For had you believed Moses you would have believed Me for he wrote of Me.

A study of the Torah reveals the things that Messiah would do when He came in the first century, and what He will do when He returns.

Eccl. 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is. 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,

Luke 24:13-32

The disciples and many other people at that time knew the scriptures and even committed large portions to memory.

They had been taught them from childhood. However they as most people today look at them as history of the great men of God. Jesus/Yeshua opened their understanding on the road to Emmaus; proving that these stories were not just about Him but they were also prophecy about Him and all that would ever happen in the kingdom. The disciples began to understand the Scriptures when He revealed this secret to them that day. We must look at our Heavenly Fathers Word through a Hebraic mind in order to see what is hidden in plain sight.

 

Luke 24:13 – 32

 And, behold, two of them went* that same day to a village called* Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about three score furlongs. And they talked together* of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has tnot known the things which are come to pass there* in these days? And he said unto them, What things?  And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.  Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe* all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses (Genesis through Deuteronomy) and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished* out of their sight. And they said one to another*, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Jots and Titles are places in Scripture where spaces are in the middle of a sentence, or dots are placed above certain letters, or some letters are written backwards. These unusual happenings are a hint of a deeper truth. The sages and others have commented about what this means, or why this was written in this way. None of these anomalies are shown in English Bibles, it is only obvious in the text written in the Hebrew language.

These jots and titles are noted and spoken all by Messiah in Matthew 5:17–19. “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.  Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished.

 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Thematic analysis is a method of study that compares Scriptures dealing with the same themes, this method of analysis can reveal hidden truths that cannot found in any other way. They also cannot contradict the meaning of any passage, but can show a deeper meaning that is not evident from either passage. The Creator has placed these seemingly unrelated stories throughout Scripture in such a way that the enemy has not understood His plan, and was unable to see the truth hidden in plain view.

Isaiah 44:18 understanding is not given to all.

and read

Matthew 13:14

Luke 8:10.

There are many numbers of stories that can be compared using this analysis. We are even told by Messiah of two familiar stories in Genesis that are connected. Most of us have read His words on this subject and have not realized what He was telling us. To compare two stories, list events of one story and compare or contrast similar events in the other one. These comparisons will help us to see with greater understanding the subject in question including the return of Messiah.

Luke 17:26–30 days of Noah and Lot.

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 “just as It was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

This book of the Torah is often called the second giving of the law.

The word Belief comes from the Greek name for this book, however the Hebrew name means words or things.

All the words all the Torah and all the words of the Bible are our Heavenly Fathers’ words/devarim, or inspired by Him. They are the words that He wanted us to receive and live by. Moses had lived in a close relationship to Him for more than 40 years, no other person has conversed with the Heavenly Father on such an intimate level for this length of time.

This whole of Deuteronomy took place in the last five weeks of the life of Moses. The sages believe that Moses began his teaching on the first day of the month of shevat and he died on the seventh of the month of adar. This is the last few weeks that the children of Israel were to stay in the wilderness. The 40 years was soon to be over at they’ve would be able to go into the land.

Moses was giving them instructions that they needed to have for this new life. They would conquer the land and then they would no longer move as a nation but would settle in cities and farm lands.

They would no longer be fed manna and they would no longer be able to see the pillar of fire and smoke/cloud of Gods presence. They would no longer have Moses to intercede for them. They would have to understand the will of God for themselves and live by His directions and instructions, His Torah.

Deuteronomy 5:2–3 God made a covenant with us at Horeb, he did not make this covenant with all this but with us even us are all of us here alive this day.

Related scripture: Hebrews 9:11-15

This is saying that the re-newed covenant was ratified by the blood of Messiah, not by the blood of bulls and goats, or the ashes of the red heifer, as the first covenant was.

Just as the ashes of the red heifer were mixed with water to be used to purify the unclean before acceptance by the Father, so the red blood of Messiah was poured out along with water when He was pierced with the Roman spear.

The new covenant was ratified with the blood of Messiah when He died on the tree, but the stipulations of the new covenant were given by Moses in the book of Deuteronomy. We know that God does not do anything that has not already revealed through his prophets. Amos 3:7

The first covenant was in Horeb. Deuteronomy 5:1-3. And It was the only scroll that was to be placed beside the Ark of the covenant Deuteronomy 31:25–26. Isaiah 46:9-10 declaring the end from the beginning. From this we can see that the new covenant may well be referred to in this book.

Many scholars today have come to the understanding that all scripture was originally written in Hebrew and translated into other languages including Greek. For the most part we no longer have the Hebrew text of the New Testament, but we have many references to them from the early church leaders. We have copies of Matthew in Hebrew from the middle ages, this text is referred to as the Shem Tov text. Other books in the New Testament indicate that they were originally written in Hebrew by the sentence structure. Only in Hebrew is it correct to start a sentence with the word and. This is considered poor Greek and English grammar, or in any other language; but this is good Hebrew. We also know that many Hebrew idioms are used in the New Testament as well as word plays, where two words sound similar but have different meaning. These word plays and idioms do not make sense in other languages.

We have a looked at some of these in previous posts example Matthew 6:2–4 sounding the trumpet Link below:

https://www.minimannamoments.com/sounding-the-trumpet/

Here is another Scripture Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through messiah which strengthens me.

We’ve heard this this verse quoted to encourage us to try to do things that seem to difficult. However it does it really mean we can do everything, probably not, not everyone can do heart surgery or bio engineering, to understand what it really means we have to look at the Greek word that was translated as all things.

Strong’s Number G3956

pas

meaning: all, any, every, whole, always, whatsoever.

This doesn’t help since it can only mean that we who are in Christ have the ability to do anything.

We know from Paul’s letter 1Corinthians 12:4 – 12 that we don’t all have the same abilities. Our heavenly father has given as different abilities just like we have different members of the body of Christ. Each person has a specialized function. Just as a natural body the eyes cannot hear and the ears cannot taste.

Reading 1 Corinthians 12:4-12 if we look at the Hebrew word that would have been translated as things we get the word devarim. Devarim means:

things, or words, or matters, and as noted earlier bees.

This is the Hebrew name of the book of Deuteronomy. The Hebrew names of books or groups of scriptures are usually taken from a word in the first sentence of that book. They don’t make up names for the books like we do in English. Looking at this we may have an understanding connected to the new covenant. Philippians 4:13

I can do all devarim the book of Deuteronomy and the new covenant through the Messiah who strengthens me. This doesn’t make a lot more sense. Messiah did not call us all to be able to do everything that anyone else can do, but didn’t He call us to keep the words or things of the new covenant.? Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves Me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”John 14:21

We also know that we can only keep these commands if we love Him and He enables us to overcome our sinful nature. Could this be a confirmation that the book of Deuteronomy or devarim/deborim is pointing to the new covenant? This book agrees completely with the teaching of the Messiah. Did He say anything about obeying the new covenant by keeping this book of devarim after He died on the cross? Matthew 24:32 – 34

One book of the New Testament that we have in Hebrew is the shem tov.

The Hebrew Gospel of Matthew page 122/123 the translation of verse 34 given by George Howard in his Book Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, Reads: truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things shall be done.

= understanding of these things or understanding of these devarim/words, or possibly all the blessing and the curses in Deuteronomy be fulfilled.

Remember the book of devarim was to be placed beside the Ark of the covenant as a witness against us, that all the blessings and the curses would come upon us as it is written in this book and that in the last days we would then understand.

The letter on the right, hey, is selected, which would be translated into the word, the. This would translate the whole word as

The devarims.

Daw vaw’ eem = words, things, bees, matters and

name of the book of Deuteronomy.

There is one more place where this word being used as a reference is in the book of Matthew 28:19 – 20.

(Page 150/151 in the pdf.)

Verse 20: teaching them to observe all things (devarim).

The shem tov/shem tob copy reads like this:  

all the things or all the words or all Deuteronomy.

These references seem to confirm that the book of devarim is the new covenant. Let the reader decide. We know He does nothing unless he first tells his servants the prophets.

The play on words in Deuteronomy 1:44-46 the Amorites overpowered Israel because God was not with them. People changed their mind about going into battle after God had told them they would die in the wilderness. Moses told them not to fight but they continued to rebel by going to war and were defeated in battle. We must obey God when He tells us what to do. Timing is directly connected to obedience. If we are told do something and we say no, we will do it tomorrow then we are being rebellious and disobedient. This is illustrated by Messiah in the parable of the 2 sons in Matthew 21

Why do we think we can get away with this with our Heavenly Father?

Deuteronomy 1:44–46

Pursued you as the bees would do…

Remember the word for bees is the same word as the name of this book Torah, devarim = words, things and bees.

This book of the Torah is meant to bring blessings and abundant life, and it will IF we obey our Heavenly Father in keeping His Commandments.

If we obey, then blessings will pursue us and overtake us like the sweetness of honey made by the bees.

Honey is taken from the hive by beekeepers covered in a white beekeepers suit/garment like being covered by the righteousness of our creator; and using smoke which calms the bees, like smoke of the incense in the temple which represents the prayers of the Saints. But if we do not obey our heavenly Father these words/devarim of the curse will pursue us like bees. Israel had disobeyed the Lord by complaining and not taking the land and then tried to take it when they were told of their punishment.

The words of the curse in the form of the Amorites pursued them like bees. Bees attack those come against their hive without the proper covering, and they follow after invaders with fury for a short distance before they return back to their hive. This is exactly what the Amorites did to the disobedient of Israel.

Do we have the proper covering?

Are we washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are we wearing our robe of white/righteousness?

We choose whether our life will be blessed or cursed.

There may not be bees/devarim chasing us and buzzing around our heads, however the words/devarim, of eternal life are as sweet as the honey the bees/devarim produce. And as we walk our Emmaus road with Messiah, He will reveal Himself to us from all the devarim/words in the scriptures including Deuteronomy/Devarim; which will bring life, hope and joy as our eyes are opened to His Truth.

So it would seem there is some connection between words, bees and the Emmaus Road in the Hebrew word devarim.

Devarim/Deuteronomy 30:15 – 19.

And In the end of days we will obey and he will bring us back to the land of Israel.

Shalom aleikhem

chaverim and mishpachah!

Peace to friends and family.

Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.

Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord, Deliverer and soon returning King; and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are very precious in His sight.

Not sure ..you can be…

SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute,

SAY IT RIGHT NOW…

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. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua 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/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.

Mystery of Rechem – The Secret of Living Like Royalty

If we are to live like Royalty… first the

God of compassion – El Rachum – (Deut. 4:31)Tells us we must be born-again. John 3: 3– 8This is probably one of the most familiar verses along with John 3:16.

Messiah was talking with Nicodemus who was a leader of the Jewish people and would have known Torah/Tenach, the Old Testament.

(obviously, there was no new testament written at the time.)

Everything Messiah Jesus/Yeshua referred to was in Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures, which is what we call the Old Testament.

He told Nicodemus that to enter heaven, (the kingdom of the heavens)

malkut shamayim” שָׁמַיִם (shamayim)

mal•choot ha•sha•má•yim

One must be born again.

His response was probably what anyone would say, how is that possible??

Can a man enter his mother’s womb to be born when he is old? Obviously not!

However in Hebrew, the word for ‘womb’ gives us a fresh and beautifully significant picture that we may have missed.

(An earlier post referenced the Hebrew Letter Mem.) The word for WOMB, is Rechem, and it comes from the word Racham.Racham speaks of mercy, tender love and compassion.So, Racham also means womb as well as mercy and is used in the Word of God to speak of His mercy and love as in EL Rachum.

Here is a mystery revealed:

The love/ahav and mercy/racham of God/Adonai, is like a womb/rechem –

and this is the connection.

When a new life is being formed, the only real protection is in the womb.Each one of us have been here for around 9 months. It’s a place of nurturing, tenderness and development of the physical body, in preparation to exist and live within the Earth’s environment.

Every individual needs that or we would never have been born the first time. However Jesus/Yeshua told us…Similarly, the womb of the morning,  can also represent a new day/a new beginning; the day has a new birth wherein His Mercies are new every morning.It’s the Racham of Adonai. EL Rachum.

The deep compassion and tender love of EL Rachum.

This is the ‘secret womb’ that we can enter,

the hidden place, the Mem,

abiding in the womb/Rechem of His tender MERCY/RACHAM.

This is one of the secret places of the Most High.

It is this mercy, this rechem, the womb of His love that also tenderly keeps us all through our lives.Nurtures us, holds us and protects us from harm.

It’s an intriguing observation that during times of great stress, we instinctively curl up into the same fetal posture that we were, when in the womb!

It is by living/Abiding within that place/womb of mercy and love, that we grow; and are formed first into the child and then into the mature believer we were called to become.“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”  Jeremiah 1:5

Strongs’s #7358: rechem – Greek/Hebrew Definitions – Bible Tools .  https://www.bibletools.org

Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon:

rechem. 1) womb. 1a) womb … Numbers 18:15: “Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring … Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified …

From the Latin word for womb (in turn from mater or mother), a matrix is either the intercellular substance of a tissue, the material in which a fossil is embedded, or a mold from which a relief surface is made in printing or phonograph manufacturing. It’s mostly translated as “womb.”

The Latin word for mother is “mater” (or matr). A woman who was having a baby, became “matrix”. The word was then was used for “womb”. So Moses is telling the people to dedicate their firstborn to God.

The womb. To “open the matrix,” Exodus 13:12,15, means, to be the firstborn.

Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet”

Exodus 13:12: “unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast”
Exodus 13:15: “I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all”
Exodus 34:19: “All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep,”
Numbers 3:12: “instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel:”

Numbers 18:15: “Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD,”

Here, He not only formed us, but within are also the plans He has for us to fulfill during our sojourn, passing through this life, in our temporary home, en route to the true life with Him.

Every birth requires a womb; that womb/our new birth. In His love/Ahava for the Racham of El Rachum, is the Rechem of our new birth.One of the 13 attributes of God’s is His Mercy, which was revealed after the sin of the Golden calf. Shelosh esret middot .

Desiring the sincere milk of the word.

Psalm 119:103 then as we partake of salvation through the new birth, we need nourishment to grow.

And what matters now is not what we once were but who we have become in Messiah.

We’ve heard it said you are what you eat, and while a baby is within the womb, the food/nourishment is provided through the mother.If we are to grow then we need to feed on him who birthed us the second time. And partake of Messiah as the heavenly bread of our new life as a baby newly born into His Kingdom.

We see a secret in the larvae of bees. What a larvae becomes depends on what it eats. If the larvae eats royal jelly, it becomes a Queen. This is the only way to become a Queen.

No royal jelly = no Queen!Amazingly, queen bees are genetically exactly identical to worker bees. But they’re fed a different diet from worker bees their whole lives, from the time they are tiny larvae, until the day they die.This different meal plan causes their physiology and behavior to develop completely differently from worker bees, despite the same genetic foundation. this transforming food with the aptly named substance, royal jelly.

Royal jelly is a protein-rich excretion from the glands of worker bees –think of it as a honey bee’s version of mother’s milk.While all larvae are fed royal jelly for the first three days, of life, larvae chosen by the worker bees to become queens are bathed in royal jelly in special,elongated ‘queen cells’ throughout their development.

(larvae drone worker bees)

After the larval stage is complete and the queen bee emerges,she is fed royal jelly throughout her life.

Nurse bees feed larvae destined to be workers not only royal jelly, which queen-destined larvae are fed, but also beebread, or processed pollen (seen here).Beebread contains p-coumaric acid, which alters gene expression and contributes to the honey bees’ developmental fate.

Beebread and honey contain p-coumaric acid, but royal jelly does not. Queens feed exclusively on royal jelly. Worker bees known as nurses feed the larvae according to the needs of the hive.

Worker bees tending to larvae

When female larvae are fed royal jelly, which is secreted by other bees, they develop into large-bodied, fertile queens. But most larvae eat beebread, a mixture of pollen and nectar. These larvae develop into smaller, sterile worker bees.

The shape of Bees bodies are not aerodynamically efficient  –  so every flight is a flight of faith!

They are:

(1) melekh, “king”: “Asher …. shall yield royal dainties,” literally, choice morsels of the king, meaning fit for a king (Genesis 49:20); “besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty,” literally, which he gave her according to the hand (the wealth) of King Solomon (1 Kings 10:13; compare the Revised Version margin); “a royal statute,” literally, statute of a malka’, which is the emphatic Aramaic term for melekh, “king” (Daniel 6:7);(2) mamlakhah, “the power and dignity of a king,” “Gibeon …. one of the royal cities,” i.e. a capital city with a king of her own (Joshua 10:2; compare 1 Samuel 27:5); “all the seed royal,” literally, the seed of the kingdom (2 Kings 11:1; compare 2 Chronicles 22:10);(3) malkhuth, “kinghood,” “kingdom”:

“royal majesty,” literally, majesty of kinghood (1 Chronicles 29:25); quite frequently in the Book of Esther; royal wine (1:7); crown (1:11; compare 2:17; 6:8); commandment (1:19); “her royal estate,” literally, her kinghood (1:19); house royal (2:16; compare 5:1); royal apparel (5:1; compare 6:8,15); throne (5:1);

(4) melukhah, “kingdom,” “kingly power and dignity”:

“royal city,” literally, the city of the kingdom, meaning here that part of the city (Rabbah) in which the royal palace was situated (2 Samuel 12:26); “royal diadem,” literally, turban of kinghood (Isaiah 62:3);

(5) in Jeremiah 43:10 we find the word shaphrir; its meaning is uncertain:

“royal pavilion” (the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version), “glittering” (Revised Version, margin), “scepter,” “a carpet covering a throne.”

The New Testament uses the word for basilikos, “belonging to king”:

“royal apparel” (Acts 12:21); “the royal law,” something like “the golden rule,” being foremost because including all others (James 2:8), and for basileios (being vested with kingly power and honor), “royal priesthood,” the Hebrew rendering would be mamlekheth kohanim, “a kingdom of priests,” i.e. a kingdom whose citizens are priests, emphasizing the two facts that the true Christians have free access to the grace of God and that they enjoy the liberties and privileges of His kingdom (1 Peter 2:9).

Here’s the secret to a believer living a Royal lifestyle – it’s dependent upon what we feed ourselves.

If we partake of the Word of holiness and righteous, then we will become that. However if we partake of the world, we will in like manner, become worldly and so it goes for everything else.

Don’t be discouraged, He has overcome the world and we are not bound to be as we are right now. If there is depression, anxiety or sin dragging us down, simply stop eating the wrong food! Messiah, the bread of (new) life, the royal nutrition, that will give you a royal lifestyle, a new life in Him. Then we will become Messiah like and emulate His life. We will not be limited by who we have been but live by who He is in us. Bees and Bee-lievers.

If we consume Royal food, we will become the royal new creation in Him and fulfill and resemble His Word; according to 1Peter 2:9, we are a Royal Priesthood a Holy nation because we are grated in by His Grace and Mercy.

Joint Heirs with Him.And I will give to him to sit on my throne  Rev. 3:21

Truly living like royalty in the rechem of the racham of El rachum!

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.

  שיר  האלים

שיר   song – sheer, zemer

The dictionary definition of Poetry describes it as a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.

 Adonai/God/Hashem/Our Heavenly Father’s poem/song is His living breathing creation in perpetual motion which declares the very rhythm of Him who is life itself, in all its exquisite aesthetic qualities of patterns, colours, shapes and sounds.(guazu-falls)

 The Extraordinary Iridescent Details of Peacock Feathers 

In Greek the word is ‘poema’, this is where we get our word poem. Poetry (from the Greek, ‘poiesis’, a ‘making’ or ‘creating’)

 and in the Hebrew

song, poem – shir

פּוֹאֶמָה   שיר

poemah   shiyr

So in one sense He is the poet of the universe.

         The poem of our existence was written by Him in the very fabric of our environment which is His creation. Our lives are the stanzas. His love for us and ours for Him are the elements of each rhyming iambic pentameter that echoes grace, mercy and loving kindness with every heart beat. The Hebrew for work is:  מְלָאכָה

‘melachah’ meaning ‘work’ Strong’s 4399  

 m’lekhet yad   יָד מְלֶאכֶת (they come in pink and green)

  The universe IS the poem, the song of God, created with every intention for our lives to be a work of beauty.

A beauty which can be found only by ‘knowing Him’, not in our own efforts. The poet of existence and of life itself. In whose love, your life can become not a dream but a poem of the living God, that will reflect the Life of Jesus/Yeshua in and through us. So we don’t need to strive to produce dead works, rather focus on living and as we are changed, we are ‘becoming His work’, His poem, His song, His Shir /Shiyr/שיר  A butterfly wing in macro detail.

 Pious, piety: Elohay Chasdi = God of my kindness to men or piety. (Ps 59:11) Resignation to the will of God is the whole of piety. We have twisted the meaning to being religious, starchy, narrow and unyielding it is applied to monasteries of reclusive monks and nuns. It is not an adjective we readily apply to ourselves but the real meaning is that it includes in it all that is good and is a source of the most settled quiet and composure of mind. Our resignation to the will of God may be said to be mature and perfect/complete when our will is resolved up into His and when we are resting in His will as our ultimate end and destiny in Him as being most just and right and good. It leads to the fullness of the kingdom of God within us as righteousness peace and joy in the Ruach Ha Kodesh.

Piety – אדיקות  

ש”ע)   דתיות ; תאדיקו )

דָּתִיּוּת   דְּבֵקוּת,   אֲדִיקוּת,

diykut, d’vekut, datiyut

In spiritual terminology, piety   אדיקות is a virtue. While people may understand its meaning differently, it is generally used to refer either to religious devotion or to spirituality, or often, a combination of both. A common element in most conceptions of piety is humility. An attitude of a repentant heart.(patterns are everywhere)

We are all called to put the ‘extra’ into ‘ordinary’.

For Jesus Himself said ‘greater works these will you do’.

Glass wing butterfly

Wings and tiny details, diverse and unique. The tensile capacity of a single strand of a spiders web, is greater in proportion than the strongest steel mankind can create from Earth’s rocks and elements. We need to see things from God’s perspective for He exists outside of our space-time continuum. He is not bound by our physical laws of light and gravity. He doesn’t need air to breathe or light to see. He is spirit and He is life itself in a capacity that we are yet to comprehend. His scripture tells us, when we see Him we shall be like Him. And the things of this life on Earth will grow very dim in the light of His glory and grace.

(Tiger eye or butterfly?)

The infinite diversity on this planet is incalculable. New species are still being identified every year. Macro feather detail of a House finch

With an untold billions of stars like our Sun with planets orbiting them we are but a speck in the cosmos and yet every hair of our head is numbered. Each soul is precious to the Lord. He came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10

For the sole purpose of spending eternity together with us.

Jesus said if you have seen Me then you have seen the Father, I and the Father are one. We can see Him also in His creation everywhere around us if we will take the time to look.We all see God every day… sometimes, we just don’t recognize Him…We have heard it said that the devil is in the details. However it was the Lord who created the details in the first place. The devil has never been the original creator of anything, he just steals what was Gods and perverts it to aid his own evil schemes to deceive and destroy.Beauty in the eye of the beholder Hashem our creator GodIn Hebrew, every Hebrew prayer begins with this statement

Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha Olam

Blessed are you O Lord my God King of the Universe.

It helps to remind us that He is the Creator of all things .

 Bereshit b’reshiyt – רֵאשִׁיתב – In the Beginning

Bet  ב . the pictogram indicates the house of the sign, the mark of creation. Creation itself is a house built by the Creator. The house itself is a sign

House as in ‘dwelling place’.

  Within the earliest Jewish traditions groups of scholars counted the number of times each letter appeared in the scriptures, (as well as the number of words verses paragraphs etc). These textual specialists were called Soferim (counters). The soferim ensured that Torah scrolls and the other books of the Tenakh (Old Testament), were identical, noting any unusual words or spellings and replicating them exactly through their scribal arts. Many Jews believe that Ezra the scribe instituted many of the practices of the Soferim. In this verse we are told that the heavens are ‘recounting’ the glory of God

The word mesaperim (are recounting), comes from the same Hebrew root as does soferim.

Every detail of the universe from great cosmic events to the bloom of a lily in the field recounts the glory of God

and is carefully written in His book, m’aseh vereshit – the works of creation.

Parallel to this idea the heavenly expanse raki’a is ‘telling’ of the work of God’s hands.The Hebrew word maggid means to explain or declare something in a conspicuous or obvious way, such as plainly telling the solution of a riddle. In Jewish tradition, the part of the Passover seder where the story of the Exodus from Egypt is clearly explained to the children at the table is called the maggid. Just as the order, precision, and enormous complexity of the physical universe reveals the glory and excellencies of the creator, so the vast heavenly expanse conspicuously displays the work of God’s hands. And though mankind may suppress this constant narrative through willful ignorance, they are forever without excuse, “for what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For the invisible attributes of God, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, are clearly perceived in the things that have been made”. Rom 1:18-20Included are just a very small selection of creatures that we never normally see…(Giraffe Necked Weevil)

because its too small for our eyes to focus on, or too deep in the ocean,or too high in the sky.What’s out of reach to us is all part of His creation whether we know its there or not . Why make creatures of such great beautyand intricacies that no human has ever seen?Some only visible just recently with the help of science and technology.

Because His nature is LIFE and to create it.

Some macro photos of wings, feathers and sea life have no names, titles or description. Just simply focus on the images and their immeasurable and amazing display of colour and intelligent design, that in most cases will never be seen by human eyes and if so, only by way of photographs and still… He made them all. We have a truly omniscient Father who made all things for the praise of His glory just because He could. He formed everything to interact with a symbiotic harmony; played out in a rich and all encompassing symphony. Our world is a cacophony of sounds and a plethora of colors; mixed with love on a never ending palette that stretches beyond visible horizons. Everything continually expressing His creative nature both in the heavens above and upon this beautiful earth, our truly spectacular and infinitely diverse planet on which we live and call home. Hummingbirds are the smallest birds on the planet. A penny weighs 2.5 grams, and a hummingbird can weigh anywhere between 2 and 20 grams.

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world.

 As you look at the images and think about God’s creation:
(Pillars of the Carina Nebula.)

the heavens, the earth, the processes of life and nature, and every living thing, let Him fill you with such an overwhelming love for all that He is and all that He has done and is yet to do.So we can share more enthusiastically and effectively with those who have not heard, for He is love,as these pictures surely show!

‘For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works’. This verse is not recommending that we project good works as an image by self elevation, created out of pride and ambition.Not boasting of personal achievements and physical prowess and ‘movie star’ qualities out of our own talents, abilities and looks without God.

We congratulate ourselves on graduation from schools colleges and universities, many having yoked ourselves to a financial burden for the privilege, when we can study His word for free and yet we hardly give that subject of learning a second thought.
(Petrified dunes)

Get wisdom and get understanding, everything we need to live a successful life for the Lord is contained within the pages of One book.At times it appears our society is upside down for we are not taught to put God and His Word first place and are left wondering why we have problems. He needs to be the center of all we do, the pivot point for our life and nothing less. Our beauty comes from within, from His indwelling presence. The more we spend time in His presence the more we will radiate His glory outwards into the world.Ephesians 2:10 … we are not to be ‘strutting our stuff’ like peacocks, but to work, as the days grow darker we need to ‘bee’about our Father’s business. 

Psalm 145:9 because the Lord is good to all and His compassion is over all His works, all your works will praise you Lord and your pious ones will bless you.

The words of the well known hymn, ‘How great thou art’, bids us to consider all the works His hands have made.

After looking at the images above, the hymn written by Cecil Frances Alexander for children rings just as true today:  All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
 All things wise and wonderful; The Lord God made them all.   Each little flow’r that opens,

Each little bird that sings,
 He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.The purple-headed mountains,
 The river running by,
 The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky. The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
 The ripe fruits in the garden,
 He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood,
 The meadows where we play,
 The rushes by the water,
 To gather every day. He gave us eyes to see them,
 And lips that we might tell
 How great is God Almighty,
 Who has made all things well.

(Matthew 18:3 – Let’s never lose that childlike wonder.)
