Rush to Hush!

 Hurry, come in, and be quiet! It's STUDY time!


We are always in a hurry, to do this or that.  It seems, there is never enough time to get things done.  And sometimes, we just have to relax and allow ourselves to think through difficult situations, to make sure we are doing everything correctly, to achieve the best results.  

Like a Doctor, who quickly, but quietly goes over every aspect of a difficult surgery, upon which he must soon begin.  Making sure everyone knows what to do, and when to do it, and that all tools are laid out in proper order.  This is done quickly and decisively, due to ceasing to think of nothing but the surgery, and focusing all of his attention upon the task at hand.  The Doctor is only able to CARE for the patient, as he pushes distractions out of his mind, focusing his mental energy towards the care and recovery of his patient.  

A good preacher is like unto the example of the Doctor above, and Paul has an admonition for Timothy, that may well apply to many who seek to minister to others.  

2Ti 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


The Greek word for study is spoudazo, and means to make haste, exert oneself, be diligent.

The Aramaic word for study is wnet,bTel, and means to cease, to be idle, or at ease, to be concerned with.


The Greek shows us to that in order to be diligent, we must also be quick about getting this done.  While the Aramaic reveals, that in order to give proper care to the task at hand, we must cease from all other activity, as we seek to present ourselves before Elohiym, as a minister of righteousness, adequately prepared for the work of the Kingdom. 

You see, we really must Rush to Hush, as we enter into our sabbath study, allowing His word to exhort, reprove and correct us, making us instruments in our Masters hand.  

We can see, then, that study, requires diligence and rest.  Which is not a nap, but rather, a quiet time for meditation and prayer, with in depth thoughtful study. Allowing the instructions of Yah to be written upon our hearts.  

Do we really understand what it means to enter into His rest?  Perhaps, we should study out this subject in detail, so that we may truly enter into His rest through faith. Hebrews 4:11

Fruits of life

Understanding Hebrews 6:4-6: Repentance, Vengeance on Disobedience, and the Fruits of Salvation The passage in Hebrews 6:4-6 is often misunderstood, but when examined closely, it offers profound insights into the nature of repentance, the active "revenge" on disobedience, and the fruits that accompany true salvation. Here's a closer look: Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV): "For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." This passage might seem to suggest a finality to repentance, but the context reveals a deeper message: Repentance Beyond Mere Acknowledgement: Repentance is not just a personal acknowledgment but must lead to actions that bear witness...

Exception clause

 In the beginning Yah commanded mankind to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Gen 1:28  This command was never rescended, and remains in force unto this very day. In fact Yah protects this law by making the conjugal relationship of man and wife mandatory: Exo 21:10 KJV If he take him another wife ; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. H5772 Original:  עונה Transliteration:  ‛ônâh Phonetic:  o-naw' BDB Definition : cohabitation, conjugal rights Origin: from an unused root apparently meaning to dwell together TWOT entry: TWOT - 1650a Part(s) of speech: Noun Feminine Strong's Definition : From an unused root apparently meaning to  dwell  together; (sexual)  cohabitation: -  duty of marriage. It is a sad fact, that today a brother is given less rights in the assembly, then a woman of ancient times, causing to many to fall away.   This command also sets the foundation for the excepti...

Ordained Borders

 The concept of God placing nations within defined borders is primarily rooted in biblical texts, with the most direct reference found in Acts 17:26 in the New Testament. Here’s a concise breakdown:Key Biblical ReferenceActs 17:26 (New International Version): "From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands." This verse, part of Paul’s speech at the Areopagus in Athens, suggests that God sovereignly determined the times and geographical boundaries for nations, implying divine intentionality in their placement and existence. Additional Supporting PassagesDeuteronomy 32:8 (Old Testament): "When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel." This verse refers to God’s division of humanity into nations after the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11),...
