Prison weekly Nisen 21, 5768

Shalom

The Hebrew month is Nisan these Readings are for Shabbat Nisen 21, 5768

This weeks Torah Reading is Pesach "Passover" Exodus 33:12-34:26

This weeks Haftarah Reading is Malachi 3:4-4:6

Moses said to the Lord, "See, You say to me, 'Lead this people forward,' but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, 'I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed, gained My favor.' Now, if I have truly gained Your favor, pray let me know Your ways, that I may know You and continue in Your favor. Consider, too, that this nation is Your people." And He said, "I will go in the lead and will lighten your burden." And he said to Him, "Unless You go in the lead, do not make us leave this place. For how shall it be known that Your people have gained Your favor unless You go with us, so that we may be distinguished, Your people and I, from every people on the face of the earth?" And the Lord said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name." He said, "Oh, let me behold Your Presence!" And He answered, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim before you the name Lord, and the grace that I grant and the compassion that I show. But," He said, "you cannot see My face, for man may not see Me and live." And the Lord said, "See, there is a place near Me. Station yourself on the rock and, as My Presence passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and shield you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen." The Lord said to Moses: "Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and I will inscribe upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered. Be ready by morning, and in the morning come up to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to Me, on the top of the mountain. No one else shall come up with you, and no one else shall be seen anywhere on the mountain; neither shall the flocks and the herds graze at the foot of this mountain."

So Moses carved two tablets of stone, like the first, and early in the morning he went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets with him. The Lord came down in a cloud; He stood with him there, and proclaimed the name Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed: "The Lord! the Lord! a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He does not remit all punishment, but visits the iniquity of parents upon children and children's children, upon the third and fourth generations." Moses hastened to bow low to the ground in homage, and said, "If I have gained Your favor, O Lord, pray, let the Lord go in our midst, even though this is a stiffnecked people. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your own!" He said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will work such wonders as have not been wrought on all the earth or in any nation; and all the people who are with you shall see how awesome are the Lord's deeds which I will perform for you. Mark well what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Beware of making a covenant with the inhabitants of the land against which you are advancing, lest they be a snare in your midst. No, you must tear down their altars, smash their pillars, and cut down their sacred posts; for you must not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Impassioned, is an impassioned God. You must not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they will lust after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and invite you, and you will eat of their sacrifices. And when you take wives from among their daughters for your sons, their daughters will lust after their gods and will cause your sons to lust after their gods.

You shall not make molten gods for yourselves.

You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread--eating unleavened bread for seven days, as I have commanded you--at the set time of the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you went forth from Egypt.

Every first issue of the womb is Mine, from all your livestock that drop a male as firstling, whether cattle or sheep.

But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. And you must redeem every first-born among your sons.

None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor; you shall cease from labor even at plowing time and harvest time.

You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of the wheat harvest; and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. I will drive out nations from your path and enlarge your territory; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times a year.

You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened; and the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover shall not be left lying until morning.

The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

Shalom in Yeshua our Messiah

Well it's been awhile since I've written an update I guess I will start with the ministry van. The second van we bought blew the tranny a few weeks ago on our way over to feed. Right now we are using a borrowed suburben. Since then we found a small bus we can buy but are still praying for the rest of the money needed to purchase it.

Most of the bills have been paid and I have the funding to do the April newsletter it will be mailed out Tuesday. I need right at eight hundred to finish paying Aprils bills and pay the May bills that are in. Dan needs 190.00 to pay Radio time for May. I need about 150.00 to stock the mission. Please pray about supporting these work every bit of help is needed.

Start counting the fifty days to Penecost Monday April 28th. Unleaven bread will end at dark that day also. I'm gonna close for now I need to get this to printer before Sabbath.

May you all have a very blessed Shabbat with love sisterlinda

King David vs. President Bush

After seeing the incomparably lavish reception for President Bush throughout Jerusalem, one can't help but wonder if the King David Hotel would have been so royally outfitted for King David himself. From the spit-shined parking meters to the silky American flags hanging from every lamp posts in the capital, no detail has been overlooked and no expense has been spared for this historic presidential visit. With the airtight security, blocked roads, and posters plastered throughout the city, Jerusalemites can scarcely take a step without contending with the diplomatic pandemonium. The paid advertisements that clutter the pages of Israel's newspapers are sponsored by organizations spanning the entire political gamut from the far right to the extreme left and range from calls to return to the '48 borders to affirmations not to relinquish "1 inch". All of the messages have one thing in common – they are all pleas directed at President Bush and US administration. From empowering Bush with an article titled "Mr. President, the worlds fate is in your hands" to appealing to his sense of equity with "Mr. President, would you divide New York?", the one comprehensive commonality is that Bush is the primary address for all appeals. A fundamental tenant of Jewish thought is that G-d runs the world with a guiding principle of "midah k'neged midah" or "measure for measure". While Buddhists call it Karma and other philosophies ascribe other titles, we first see the principle in the book of Genesis. Adam, ashamed with himself for his violation of G-d's only directive, hides from the omniscient G-d of the universe who reciprocates the treatment by calling out "Adam, where are you?" Adam hid from G-d, and G-d responded accordingly, measure for measure. Living through such a global event in such a spiritual city – one can catch a sobering glimpse into the national psyche of a frightened nation which is coming to terms with the reality that our very existence has never been in such jeopardy. The Muslim jihad is channeling their focus on the destruction of our tiny Jewish state and as we lay in the crosshairs of a soon-nuclear Iran, we desperately grasp in the darkness for an ally that will come to our aid. To our terror, our final hopes lie in the decision of a 51 year old Texan who struggles with the pronunciation of the word "nuclear". Knowing that G-d operates in this capacity, we can understand what G-d desires of us based on the challenges which confront us and there can be no situation better suited for the Jewish people than the one in which we find ourselves today. As the Arab world positions itself for the final offensive for which it has been patiently waiting for since our inception, The European Union and the United Nations prepare, at worst, to participate in our destruction, and at best, to sit by in complicit silence for the completion of their valiant efforts in Auschwitz just 60 years ago. If we insist on placing our faith in The US and President Bush, then G-d will, indeed, place our fate in their hands. If we place our faith in their sense of justice and fair play we will be rewarded with morally bankrupt analogies by the secretary of State comparing the Israel's treatment of the Palestinian Muslims to the treatment of the black slaves by the whites in the confederate south (one would think she would not disgrace the memory of her persecuted and enslaved ancestors by comparing them to bloodthirsty terrorists). If we place our faith in their sense in their sense of equity and fair play we will be rewarded by the most blatant and shameless of double standards (which label "racist" the State of Israel with 1.5 million Arab Israeli citizens while any the Arab state to be created would have to be free of every last Jew) which castigates a five year old in Judea an international criminal and labels a terrorist who murders a father and daughter a freedom fighter. If we place our faith in their character, loyalty, and integrity, we will be offered in turn as a sacrificial lamb to appease the Arab world by an administration under the greatest of pressure from within and without. The magnitudes of the "confidence building measures" in which we forfeit our Land are directly related to the ensuing Jihad and amount of Jewish blood. The divine message communicated to us through our long history has been clear. The "idol" of the times in which we are sure that we can place our faith inevitably ends up being the tool of our very undoing. This principal is being played out right before our eyes as the US, our greatest ally and the entity in which we place our trust, is demanding of us a surrender that will put us in the most unprecedented danger. It is time that we place one last ad in the newspapers of Israel. One last ad on the billboards in our capital. Not an ad appealing to Bush or the United States, but an ad in which we affirm our faith in G-d and appeal to the Jewish People to act on that faith with the same character, courage, and integrity we expect from the rest of the world. An appeal for the Jewish People around the world to return to Israel united as one family and claim our eternal inheritance so we can finally serve our purpose as "A Light unto the Nations".

Pesach 5768 To Be Chosen Again Dvar Torah by Rabbi Label Lam

torah.org

The wicked son- what does he say? "What is this work to you?" "To you", he says but not to him! Therefore, because he has excluded himself from the community, he has denied the foundation of our faith and so consequently you must blunt his teeth and reply to him, "It is because of this that HASHEM did for me when I went out of Egypt" (Shemos 13:8); "for me" and not for him. Had he been there he would not have been redeemed. (Haggadah) In each and every generation a person is obligated to see himself as if he went out from Egypt as it says, "And you should tell your son on that day, saying, "It is because of this that HASHEM did for me when I went out of Egypt." (Shemos 13:8) Not only our fathers did the Holy One, blessed be He, redeem but He also redeemed us with them, for it says, "He brought us out from there, so that He might bring us and give us the land which he had promised to our fathers." (Devarim 6:23) Hagaddah) Why are we advised to "blunt the teeth" of the wicked son? How is his attitude a denial of the foundation of our faith? He may well believe in the Exodus from Egypt. Why is his lack of positive participation in the present so pernicious? How do we understand the obligation to see ourselves as if we went out from Egypt? In the second half of that paragraph we are actually included in the exodus? Is it "as if" or is it really so? Which is it? One of the cute and oft repeated themes of the "time machine" motif science fiction genre books by the likes of Jules Vern is the "back to the future" scenario. The nagging question is, "If one could go back in history could they alter present reality?" If one with foreknowledge could have a second go at it and successfully assassinate Hitler would they save the lives of millions of Jews? While this is the realm of the wildly imaginative we seem to have a crazier creative opportunity at play at the Pesach Seder.

The verse that is aimed at the teeth of the wicked son makes a major claim. I make a point to tell my children that when their grandmother was saved from the holocaust they were also saved. If my mother in law had not survived somehow they wouldn't be here today. That's only part of the picture. The verse in the Haggadah goes miles further. It seems to say that when our forefathers were taken out of Egypt 3320 years ago it was for the sake of those who would be siting in the future generations looking back at the event. Whoever looks back with gratitude albeit thousands of years later was included in the original exodus. Any individual who feels overly taxed by the obligations of indebtedness incurred from those miraculous times can effectively take himself off the roster not just of today but of "yesterday". He was not the one HASHEM had in mind who would be sitting in there-here in the future. He has scripted history with his present exercise of free choice. Why do we strike at the tooth? A tooth with its tough exterior gives the appearance of being rugged and resistant to being influenced. Even the sound of a dentist's drill, though, is enough to make most of us queasy. Beneath that hard shell is a very sensitive root. When that point is exposed all the toughness melts away. So too the wicked son portrays himself as callous to the cause of his people. With his cynical statement, "What's this work to you!?" he retroactively deletes himself from not only Jewish destiny but from the significant part of Jewish History. We can only hope he'll now choose wisely to be chosen again

SO Many people

Romans 1:17

17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

If you cannot live by faith now how can you in the time of trouble?

Greetings Saints, Today as and example I will tell you what we did in part, mom served to start 7 dozen egg, cheese, and lunchmeat sandwiches. She would have served more but we ran out of cheese and lunchmeat, also she was on her own to fix food today. Then She made a beef and noodle meal with green beans and mashed potatoes, that took 25 pounds of potatoes, 5 number 10 cans of green beans, 9 pounds of hamburger, 10 pounds of noodles, and 9 loaves of bread. With that she served 67 plates of food, and this is still the first of the month. Oh yes and of course the spices and sauces etc for the sandwihes etc. Amazing she cooked this all from 1 PM till 4:30 PM by herself, yes she had help to serve. We also at dinner gave out pickled eggs and hot peppers plus iced tea and coffee all day. This also incudes ramin noodles and noodles in a cup. I gave out stocking hats, gloves, socks, and some medacation which I am basically out of all these. As I was broke today I had to pass up handing out a few bucks here or there for co-pays on medacations and bus fare's. And not I have very little gas left in my tank but I do feel it will come from somewhere and soon. Lift our little family minitry up in prayer and help if possible! In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan
We really need some money to get some bagels for breakfast as we are open all night again tonight.....

James 2:14

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Greetings Saints, All this acting as overflow for one has worn me out. With Interfaith closed for the weekend because of Eastor as an overflow we have been overflowing. Mom made 50 plates tonight and 60 last night, to judge that we have 40 chairs inside. Right now we have people who do not even know where they are going to sleep as even have came in after dinner. Over the course of the weekend new poeple have came some good some bad but all generally behave after the spirit gets them. If it were not for the Holy Spirit I would not have any chance at all to keep the peace and you woudl be amazed at that. We just had a man walk in 80 years old that has walked from one end of twon to the other looking for a place to be, makes me wonder how many churches he passed on the way celebrating christ with their door shut to who Messiah would have been ministering to. The overwleming numbers the last few weeks has drained our resources, food, paper products, cold meds, you name it I have either ran out or I am barley holding on. Money is very short. We know the Father will provide as he always does through those who love him. Next week is warmer so we will go home tomorrow to recharge our batteries so to speak. I have so many to pray for and to go visit in the hospital and jail. I know soon I will have manny more to care for. I pray these people get a shelter through us or some one, just so long as they are safe it is cool with me. Radio is fine but if you enjoy the programs please donate to airtime. I need to send in a airtime payment this next week of $190 for April. We need to pay bills this week and stock up on medacations, bread, paper products, socks, deodorants, sleeping bags, and money for gas for the van. So lift us in prayer and please, help if you can….it is a miracle on how this place manages to survive. Oh yes we need $350 to get the mail out newsletter out this week, $350..

In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan & family

In One Hour Everything is Going to Change

There is a sudden judgment coming where the Lord will turn everything upside down. God always moves in judgment when the cup of violence overflows. Sexual crimes against children, abortion, greed and corruption will bring about sudden destruction that will change the world in one hour. Christians should be grateful for this world and the life God has given us here but we are not to live in fear of death. If we lose the fear of death through trusting in Jesus, we will not fear the sudden destruction that is coming. The bible says in the midst of these calamities a song is going to rise up from all the saints. In the house of God there will be a revival. In the middle of the fire, God's children will not be in panic but in an exuberance of praise to the majesty of Almighty God. All saints from the uttermost parts of the world will break out in song of Hope and Praise. David Wilkerson 8.5.2007

PESSAH (PASSOVER) This year the Seder is on April 19th, 2008

The prophetic fulfillment of this Holiday is clear. It is a time to thank God for our freedom, and that covers a volume of types of freedoms. To be a free people, and to be free to worship God. But the word that summed up the true meaning of Pessah is "Redemption". Rabbi Saul (Paul) sums up this theme in his letter to the Corinthian Believers. He was addressing a moral problem in their members. To solve their problem Saul draws upon a well-known analogy of Pessah. Your boasting is not good. Don't you know the saying, it takes only a little chametz to leaven a whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old chametz, so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened. For your Pessah Lamb, the Messiah, has been sacrificed. So let us celebrate the Seder, not with leftover charmetz, the charmetz of wickedness and evil, but with the matzah of purity and truth. (I-Corinthians 5:6-8)Paul is telling Believers to celebrate Passover, to have a Seder (Passover Meal) that celebrates the deliverance from Slavery and being a free people. To set aside this day to thank, praise and worship God. I don't want to dwell on this too much but it was the Catholic Church that said "to do so was far to Jewish," and they stopped the celebration of Passover in the Church. It however created a great problem. What about the Resurrection, what would they do about the fact that all the early Believers celebrated the Resurrection on the day of First Fruits? (Part of the Passover celebration)
Yeshua died on the Feast of Pessah, was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and rose on the Feast of First Fruits. Fifty days later the Holy Spirit was sent on the next Holiday in line Shavuot (Pentecost). This was what is referred to as the first advent. The first three Holiday's follow each other, in the first three days, (Pessah, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits)
and we celebrate them all within an 8 day celebration, and we just call it Passover (Pessah). But the Catholic Church had a big problem, and they solved it with a bunch of paganism brought in from Babylon, and called the Resurrection (First Fruits) Easter. But enough of that, for now I want to just talk about Pessah, and possibly your getting it right. Before going on, I want to make something clear, I am not suggesting that you must keep all the Jewish laws concerning Pessah, you have the freedom to adapt the preparation to a comfortable degree. To some they may celebrate more than others. It is well however to note, that what I am saying is from the Word, and I know it pleases God for His people to reach out to Him in truth instead of paganism.
Prophetic Fulfillment
In a house there is much preparations for the Seder, the house is cleaned from top to bottom, there is no bread or leaven left in the house anywhere. After the first week of Nisan, for focus is very directed towards Pessah. After sundown on the fourteenth day of Nisan, a special ceremony called bedikat khameytz (the search of the leaven) takes place in the home. The last tiny bits of leaven are found and removed from the house, taken outside and burned. This is interesting because the house had been previously cleaned, so the leader of the house had to hide some small bits here and there in the house to be found. Then the leader takes a feather and a wooden spoon and a lighted candle. And the family begins searching for the final leaven. This is a great time to get the children involved, it's like the game hide and seek. There are many spiritual lessons for Believers here. The leaven (sin) must be cleaned from our house (our hearts). In so doing we must use the light of the candle (the Word of God) Illumines our sin (Psalm 119:11). The most beautiful of all, the wooden spoon that holds the leaven, (the Wooden Cross that holds all of our sins and carries them away). To the Believer who walks with God and is filled with His Spirit will discern many spiritual truths in this, and begin to know why the Word tells us to celebrate the Seder (Peasch). It is my belief that when a true Believer discovers any Biblical truth and applies it to their life, doing so enriches them. So it is my prayer that you may experience a closer relationship with Messiah Yeshua our Passover Lamb in and intimate and practical way. Let us therefore celebrate the feast (I-Cor. 5:8) So with the above preparation, we are ready to begin the Seder, the festive feast called the Seder. It is full of wonderful spiritual truths for the Believer as well as the Jew. Hopefully you will find a good Haggadah (booklet of how to hold a Seder) and begin a spiritual trip that will enrich your life and give you a deeper closer walk with our Messiah. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
Shalom and Hag Same'ach (happy Holiday), jerry golden

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: When a woman at childbirth bears a male, she shall be unclean seven days; she shall be unclean as at the time of her menstrual infirmity. On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. She shall remain in a state of blood purification for thirty-three days: she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until her period of purification is completed. If she bears a female, she shall be unclean two weeks as during her menstruation, and she shall remain in a state of blood purification for sixty-six days.On the completion of her period of purification, for either son or daughter, she shall bring to the priest, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, a lamb in its first year for a burnt offering, and a pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. He shall offer it before the Lord and make expiation on her behalf; she shall then be clean from her flow of blood. Such are the rituals concerning her who bears a child, male or female.
 
If, however, her means do not suffice for a sheep, she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make expiation on her behalf, and she shall be clean. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: When a person has on the skin of his body a swelling, a rash, or a discoloration, and it develops into a scaly affection on the skin of his body, it shall be reported to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests. The priest shall examine the affection on the skin of his body: if hair in the affected patch has turned white and the affection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous affection; when the priest sees it, he shall pronounce him unclean. But if it is a white discoloration on the skin of his body which does not appear to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the affected person for seven days.
 
On the seventh day the priest shall examine him, and if the affection has remained unchanged in color and the disease has not spread on the skin, the priest shall isolate him for another seven days. On the seventh day the priest shall examine him again: if the affection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a rash; he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean. But if the rash should spread on the skin after he has presented himself to the priest and been pronounced clean, he shall present himself again to the priest. And if the priest sees that the rash has spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.When a person has a scaly affection, it shall be reported to the priest. If the priest finds on the skin a white swelling which has turned some hair white, with a patch of undiscolored flesh in the swelling, it is chronic leprosy on the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
 
 If the eruption spreads out over the skin so that it covers all the skin of the affected person from head to foot, wherever the priest can see--if the priest sees that the eruption has covered the whole body--he shall pronounce the affected person clean; he is clean, for he has turned all white. But as soon as undiscolored flesh appears in it, he shall be unclean; when the priest sees the undiscolored flesh, he shall pronounce him unclean. The undiscolored flesh is unclean; it is leprosy. But if the undiscolored flesh again turns white, he shall come to the priest, and the priest shall examine him: if the affection has turned white, the priest shall pronounce the affected person clean; he is clean. When an inflammation appears on the skin of one's body and it heals, and a white swelling or a white discoloration streaked with red develops where the inflammation was, he shall present himself to the priest.
 
If the priest finds that it appears lower than the rest of the skin and that the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous affection that has broken out in the inflammation. But if the priest finds that there is no white hair in it and it is not lower than the rest of the skin, and it is faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days. If it should spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an affection. But if the discoloration remains stationary, not having spread, it is the scar of the inflammation; the priest shall pronounce him clean.When the skin of one's body sustains a burn by fire, and the patch from the burn is a discoloration, either white streaked with red, or white, the priest shall examine it. If some hair has turned white in the discoloration, which itself appears to go deeper than the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn.
 
The priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous affection. But if the priest finds that there is no white hair in the discoloration, and that it is not lower than the rest of the skin, and it is faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days. On the seventh day the priest shall examine him: if it has spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous affection. But if the discoloration has remained stationary, not having spread on the skin, and it is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar of the burn. If a man or a woman has an affection on the head or in the beard, the priest shall examine the affection. If it appears to go deeper than the skin and there is thin yellow hair in it, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, a scaly eruption in the hair or beard.
 
But if the priest finds that the scall affection does not appear to go deeper than the skin, yet there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the person with the scall affection for seven days. On the seventh day the priest shall examine the affection. If the scall has not spread and no yellow hair has appeared in it, and the scall does not appear to go deeper than the skin, the person with the scall shall shave himself, but without shaving the scall; the priest shall isolate him for another seven days. On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scall. If the scall has not spread on the skin, and does not appear to go deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean. If, however, the scall should spread on the skin after he has been pronounced clean, the priest shall examine him. If the scall has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair: he is unclean. But if the scall has remained unchanged in color, and black hair has grown in it, the scall is healed; he is clean.
 
The priest shall pronounce him clean. If a man or a woman has the skin of the body streaked with white discolorations, and the priest sees that the discolorations on the skin of the body are of a dull white, it is a tetter broken out on the skin; he is clean.
If a man loses the hair of his head and becomes bald, he is clean. If he loses the hair on the front part of his head and becomes bald at the forehead, he is clean. But if a white affection streaked with red appears on the bald part in the front or at the back of the head, it is a scaly eruption that is spreading over the bald part in the front or at the back of the head. The priest shall examine him: if the swollen affection on the bald part in the front or at the back of his head is white streaked with red, like the leprosy of body skin in appearance, the man is leprous; he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; he has the affection on his head.As for the person with a leprous affection, his clothes shall be rent, his head shall be left bare, and he shall cover over his upper lip; and he shall call out, "Unclean! Unclean!" He shall be unclean as long as the disease is on him. Being unclean, he shall dwell apart; his dwelling shall be outside the camp. When an eruptive affection occurs in a cloth of wool or linen fabric, in the warp or in the woof of the linen or the wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin; if the affection in the cloth or the skin, in the warp or the woof, or in any article of skin, is streaky green or red, it is an eruptive affection.
 
 It shall be shown to the priest; and the priest, after examining the affection, shall isolate the affected article for seven days. On the seventh day he shall examine the affection: if the affection has spread in the cloth--whether in the warp or the woof, or in the skin, for whatever purpose the skin may be used--the affection is a malignant eruption; it is unclean. The cloth--whether warp or woof in wool or linen, or any article of skin--in which the affection is found, shall be burned, for it is a malignant eruption; it shall be consumed in fire. But if the priest sees that the affection in the cloth--whether in warp or in woof, or in any article of skin--has not spread, the priest shall order the affected article washed, and he shall isolate it for another seven days.
 
And if, after the affected article has been washed, the priest sees that the affection has not changed color and that it has not spread, it is unclean. It shall be consumed in fire; it is a fret, whether on its inner side or on its outer side. But if the priest sees that the affected part, after it has been washed, is faded, he shall tear it out from the cloth or skin, whether in the warp or in the woof; and if it occurs again in the cloth--whether in warp or in woof--or in any article of skin, it is a wild growth; the affected article shall be consumed in fire. If, however, the affection disappears from the cloth--warp or woof--or from any article of skin that has been washed, it shall be washed again, and it shall be clean. Such is the procedure for eruptive affections of cloth, woolen or linen, in warp or in woof, or of any article of skin, for pronouncing it clean or unclean. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: This shall be the ritual for a leper at the time that he is to be cleansed. When it has been reported to the priest, the priest shall go outside the camp. If the priest sees that the leper has been healed of his scaly affection, the priest shall order two live clean birds, cedar wood, crimson stuff, and hyssop to be brought for him who is to be cleansed.
 
The priest shall order one of the birds slaughtered over fresh water in an earthen vessel; and he shall take the live bird, along with the cedar wood, the crimson stuff, and the hyssop, and dip them together with the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water. He shall then sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed of the eruption and cleanse him; and he shall set the live bird free in the open country. The one to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe in water; then he shall be clean. After that he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent seven days. On the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair--of head, beard, and eyebrows. When he has shaved off all his hair, he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; then he shall be clean. On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish, three-tenths of a measure of choice flour with oil mixed in for a meal offering, and one log of oil. These shall be presented before the Lord, with the man to be cleansed, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, by the priest who performs the cleansing.
 
The priest shall take one of the male lambs and offer it with the log of oil as a guilt offering, and he shall elevate them as an elevation offering before the Lord. The lamb shall be slaughtered at the spot in the sacred area where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering, goes to the priest; it is most holy. The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the ridge of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. The priest shall then take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in the palm of his left hand and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. Some of the oil left in his palm shall be put by the priest on the ridge of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot--over the blood of the guilt offering. The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one being cleansed. Thus the priest shall make expiation for him before the Lord.
 
The priest shall then offer the sin offering and make expiation for the one being cleansed of his uncleanness. Last, the burnt offering shall be slaughtered, and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar, and the priest shall make expiation for him. Then he shall be clean. If, however, he is poor and his means are insufficient, he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be elevated in expiation for him, one-tenth of a measure of choice flour with oil mixed in for a meal offering, and a log of oil; and two turtledoves or two pigeons, depending on his means, the one to be the sin offering and the other the burnt offering. On the eighth day of his cleansing he shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord. The priest shall take the lamb of guilt offering and the log of oil, and elevate them as an elevation offering before the Lord. When the lamb of guilt offering has been slaughtered, the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the ridge of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
 
 The priest shall then pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, and with the finger of his right hand the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in the palm of his left hand seven times before the Lord. Some of the oil in his palm shall be put by the priest on the ridge of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, over the same places as the blood of the guilt offering; and what is left of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one being cleansed, to make expiation for him before the Lord. He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or pigeons, depending on his means--whichever he can afford--the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the meal offering. Thus the priest shall make expiation before the Lord for the one being cleansed. Such is the ritual for him who has a scaly affection and whose means for his cleansing are limited.
 
The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: When you enter the land of Canaan that I give you as a possession, and I inflict an eruptive plague upon a house in the land you possess, the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, "Something like a plague has appeared upon my house." The priest shall order the house cleared before the priest enters to examine the plague, so that nothing in the house may become unclean; after that the priest shall enter to examine the house. If, when he examines the plague, the plague in the walls of the house is found to consist of greenish or reddish streaks that appear to go deep into the wall, the priest shall come out of the house to the entrance of the house, and close up the house for seven days. On the seventh day the priest shall return. If he sees that the plague has spread on the walls of the house, the priest shall order the stones with the plague in them to be pulled out and cast outside the city into an unclean place. The house shall be scraped inside all around, and the coating that is scraped off shall be dumped outside the city in an unclean place.
 
They shall take other stones and replace those stones with them, and take other coating and plaster the house. If the plague again breaks out in the house, after the stones have been pulled out and after the house has been scraped and replastered, the priest shall come to examine: if the plague has spread in the house, it is a malignant eruption in the house; it is unclean. The house shall be torn down--its stones and timber and all the coating on the house--and taken to an unclean place outside the city. Whoever enters the house while it is closed up shall be unclean until evening. Whoever sleeps in the house must wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house must wash his clothes. If, however, the priest comes and sees that the plague has not spread in the house after the house was replastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the plague has healed. To purge the house, he shall take two birds, cedar wood, crimson stuff, and hyssop. He shall slaughter the one bird over fresh water in an earthen vessel. He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the crimson stuff, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle on the house seven times. Having purged the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the crimson stuff, he shall set the live bird free outside the city in the open country. Thus he shall make expiation for the house, and it shall be clean.
 
Such is the ritual for every eruptive affection--for scalls, for an eruption on a cloth or a house, for swellings, for rashes, or for discolorations--to determine when they are unclean and when they are clean. Such is the ritual concerning eruptions. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: Speak to the Israelite people and say to them: When any man has a discharge issuing from his member, he is unclean. The uncleanness from his discharge shall mean the following--whether his member runs with the discharge or is stopped up so that there is no discharge, his uncleanness means this: Any bedding on which the one with the discharge lies shall be unclean, and every object on which he sits shall be unclean. Anyone who touches his bedding shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. Whoever sits on an object on which the one with the discharge has sat shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. Whoever touches the body of the one with the discharge shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. If one with a discharge spits on one who is clean, the latter shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. Any means for riding that one with a discharge has mounted shall be unclean; whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening; and whoever carries such things shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. If one with a discharge, without having rinsed his hands in water, touches another person, that person shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. An earthen vessel that one with a discharge touches shall be broken; and any wooden implement shall be rinsed with water.
 
When one with a discharge becomes clean of his discharge, he shall count off seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in fresh water; then he shall be clean. On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and come before the Lord at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and give them to the priest. The priest shall offer them, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. Thus the priest shall make expiation on his behalf, for his discharge, before the Lord. On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons, and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. The priest shall offer the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering; and the priest shall make expiation on her behalf, for her unclean discharge, before the Lord. You shall put the Israelites on guard against their uncleanness, lest they die through their uncleanness by defiling My Tabernacle which is among them. Such is the ritual concerning him who has a discharge: concerning him who has an emission of semen and becomes unclean thereby, and concerning her who is in menstrual infirmity, and concerning anyone, male or female, who has a discharge, and concerning a man who lies with an unclean woman.
 
Mission updates; Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace, I am still just amazed at how people can just ignore a homeless person like they are not there but yet send tons of money overseas, I mean that is okay sending money overseas but should not help start at home first? Well I am getting pretty rested but really anxious to get back to Wichita to check on the people. I am pretty worried about some of them. I need to check on the fellow that has frost bite on his feet, I am worried the doctor would not let him in because of no money. Friday night looks like it will be asleep over or overflow, as the weather does not look good. Funny how the weather the last few weeks would be good during the week then back Friday, Sat., and Sunday.I did pick up some medications but still need cough syrups etc. I will go by when I get into town and pick some up. You know staying over really drains resources but they always seem to get taken care of.I am really trying to get some fund up so I can go over and work on the building; I badly need to get a gate up and the awning. The awning cost the most at around $700 to $800 I think I priced it last year, but this needs to get done before the rain comes soon. I have some money for this but not enough. So if you are so led we can use some funds for this, make sure it is above anything you normally send.Oh yes and we really need socks really we can go though 50 pairs of socks a week! Another thing as it does get warmer and you wish to send something send t-shirts, mostly large and extra large and some medium. Men and women both wear them. Sleeping bags are a big need right now with no overflow and the people are back outside, blankets are too bulky to carry around. And yes I am almost out of blankets. I had two pallets sent and I am down to a few boxes…..about 12 new blankets. Yes I know sleeping bags are too bulky so I can find a place online and just have them shipped or send a Wal-Mart gift card.I Also need Bibles, we found a great place online to get them large print or I can walk in the dollar store and pick the up…..about $10 to $15 a Bible. Yes and of course gas money is always needed, so please lift us in prayer and help if you can…… If youa re a radio fan consider a donation to airtime....

The LORD bless thee and keep thee; The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee;The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace)Bemidbar (Numbers) 6:24-26 In Yeshua's Name, Bro. Dan, Pastor of Messiah's Branch

1 Thessalonians 5:14 - Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Shalom in Yeshua Messiah, I pray you all a very restful Sabbath. We will be open tonight as an overflow and by the weather forecast it looks as if this may be the last night we have to stay. I really am low on everything because of all the extra we've had to use this month so the Mission is in need of EVERYTHING. I just opened the last pack of toilet paper and the last roll of paper towels. I paid all of March's bills and a few of Aprils that were in. The newsletter for April did not go out because we didn't have the time to do being here nor was the funding to do it in. For us to do the newsletter it cost right at 350.00 to print and mail. I need close to 900.00 to pay the bills that are in and do the April newsletter. I am planning to have a cook out for the people May 2nd if any of you want to help with that please email me. We need summer socks, t-shirts and mens clothing. Sleeping bags would be nice to give out now that the weather is warming up more people will be outside. Thanks to Everyone who helped these works. Please pray about becoming a regular supporter there are ALWAYS MANY NEEDS to do these WORKS. Have a very Blessed Sabbath love sisterlinda
 

What goes around comes around.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy,
screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the dog, was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
