Jude Sat May 18, 2019 11:32 am

4The ways to Tsiyon mourn For no one comes to the appointed timesa. All her gates are deserted, Her priests sigh, her maidens are afflicted, And she has bitterness.

5Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have become at ease. For יהוה has afflicted her Because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.

6And all the splendour has departed From the daughter of Tsiyon. Her rulers have become like buck, They have found no pasture, And they go powerless before the pursuer. LAMENTATIONS 1:4-6 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.

6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. LAMENTATIONS 1:4-6 James Version - KJV

4 The ways of Zion lament, because no man cometh to the solemn feasts, all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in heaviness.

5 Her adversaries are the chief, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.

6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. LAMENTATIONS 1:4-6 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahusha Messiah (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1The earth belongs to יהוה, And all that fills it – The world and those who dwell in it.

2For He has founded it upon the seas, And upon the waters He does establish it.

3Who does go up into the mountain of יהוה? And who does stand in His set-apart place?

4He who has innocent hands and a clean heart, Who did not bring his life to naught, And did not swear deceivingly.

5He receives a blessing from יהוה, And righteousness from the Elohim of his deliverance.

6This is the generation of those who seek Him; Ya‛aqoḇ, who seek Your face. Selah.

7Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And let the Sovereign of esteem come in.

8Who is this Sovereign of esteem? יהוה strong and mighty, יהוה mighty in battle.

9Lift up your heads, O you gates! Even lift up, you everlasting doors! And let the Sovereign of esteem come in.

10Who is this Sovereign of esteem? יהוה of hosts, He is the Sovereign of esteem! Selah. PSALM 24 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
