Jude Sat Sep 07, 2019 3:17 am

37And the two taught ones heard him speaking, and they followed יהושע.

38And יהושע turning, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

39He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.

40Andri, the brother of Shim‛on Kĕpha, was one of the two who heard from Yoḥanan, and followed Him.

41First he found his own brother Shim‛on, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means the Anointed).

42And he brought him to יהושע. And looking at him, יהושע said, “You are Shim‛on the son of Yonah, you shall be called Kĕpha” (which means A Stone). JOHN 1:37-42 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. JOHN 1:37-42 King James Version - KJV

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

1Give ear to my prayer, O Elohim, And do not hide Yourself from my plea.

2Give heed to me, and answer me; I wander and moan in my complaint,

3Because of the noise of the enemy, Because of the outcry of the wrong; For they bring down wickedness upon me, And in wrath they hate me.

4My heart is pained within me, And the frights of death have fallen upon me.

5Fear and trembling have come upon me, And shuddering covers me.

6And I said, “Who would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

7“See, I would wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.

8“I would hasten my escape From the raging wind and storm.”

9Confuse, O יהוה, divide their tongues, For I saw violence and strife in the city.

10Day and night they go around it on its walls; Wickedness and trouble are also in the midst of it.

11Covetings are in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not vanish from its streets.

12It is not an enemy who reproaches me – That I could bear; Nor one who hates me who is making himself great against me – Then I could hide from him.

13But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my friend.

14We took sweet counsel together, We walked to the House of Elohim in the throng.

15Let death come upon them; Let them go down into the grave alive, For evil is in their dwellings, in their midst.

16I, I call upon Elohim, And יהוה saves me.

17Evening and morning and at noon I complain and moan, And He hears my voice.

18He has redeemed my life in peace From the battle against me, For there were many against me.

19Ěl, even He who sits enthroned from of old, Does hear and afflict them – Selah – Those with whom there are no changes, Those who do not fear Elohim.

20He has put forth his hands against those Who were at peace with him; He has broken his covenant.

21His mouth was smoother than curds, Yet in his heart is fighting; His words were softer than oil, But they are drawn swords.

22Cast your burden on יהוה, And let Him sustain you; He never allows the righteous to be shaken.

23For You, O Elohim, do bring them down To the pit of destruction; Men of blood and deceit do not reach half their days; But I, I trust in You. PSALM 55 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
