As a thief in the night. ~ (11/17/23)
Shalom All.
As a thief in the night so shall be Yeshua’s return, what would that look like? Israel had some of the most sophisticated security fence in the world with the best electronics and cameras yet when the Lord moved on Hamas to strike, Israel was blind. Hamas came in as a thief in the night when Israel least expected the enemy to strike.
Let us not be preoccupied with worldly things, every thing in the world is temporary. Let not the strong think by his strength that he can protect himself and let not the rich think he can buy his way to heaven. We must be the watchman on the wall, not behind the wall, we must be expecting the worst hoping for the best, our hope is in the promises of our God.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
Be on the watch, surround yourself with like minded people that fear God, it is so easy to be distracted and take our eyes of what is important, that is what happened to Adam and Chaya, they were no content with what God gave them, they believed a lie and wanted something they could not get.
Live a righteous life, keep humble so God can raise your head above the stars.
Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi Itzhak Levy
