Daily Reflection - 23 August - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

Jude Sat Jun 08, 2019 4:07 am

13And because of this we thank Elohim without ceasing, that when you received the Word of Elohim which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is truly, the Word of Elohim, which also works in you who believe.a

14For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of Elohim which are in Yehuḏah in Messiah יהושע, because you also suffered the same treatment from your own countrymen as they also from the Yehuḏim,

15who killed both the Master יהושע and their own prophets, and have persecuted us, and who displease Elohim and are hostile to all men,

16forbidding us to speak to the gentiles that they might be saved, so as to fill up their sins always. But the wrath has come upon them to the utmost. 1 THESSALONIANS 2:13-16 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 1 THESSALONIANS 2:13-16 King James Version - KJV

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, that when ye received the word of God, which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is indeed the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

14 For brethren, ye are become followers of the Churches of God, which in Judea are in Christ Jesus, because ye have also suffered the same things of your own [d]country men, even as they have of the Jews,

15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets, and have persecuted us away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men,

16 And forbid us to preach unto the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to fulfill their sins always: for the wrath of God is come on them to the utmost. 1 THESSALONIANS 2:13-16 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

1יהוה, You shall take pleasure in Your land; You shall turn back the captivity of Ya‛aqoḇ.

2You shall take away the crookedness of Your people; You shall cover all their sin. Selah.

3You shall withdraw all Your wrath; You shall turn from Your fierce displeasure.

4Turn back to us, O Elohim of our deliverance, And cause Your vexation toward us to cease.

5Would You be enraged with us forever? Would You draw out Your displeasure From generation to generation?

6Would You not revive us again, For Your people to rejoice in You?

7Show us Your kindness, O יהוה, And give us Your deliverance.

8Let me hear what Ěl יהוה speaks, For He speaks peace to His people And to His kind ones; And let them not turn again to folly.

9Truly, His deliverance is near to those who fear Him, For esteem to dwell in our land.

10Kindness and truth shall meet, Righteousness and peace shall kiss.

11Truth sprouts forth from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven,

12Indeed, יהוה gives what is good, And our land yields its increase.

13Righteousness goes before Him, And prepares a way for His footsteps. PSALM 85 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
