Torah is "Balak" Numbers 22:2-25:9 Haftarah Micah 5:6-6:8 &Brit Hadasha John 13-14 Parsha's Please take time to read these parsha's in your KJV bible I wanted to shear thios bit of information with you about the STAR OF DAVID>
The Mogen David has seven internal areas, six are alike, representing the six workdays, and the seventh represents the Sabbath. The outside of the Star has 12 sides representing the 12 tribes of Israel. The Star is made from two intertwined Paleo-Hebrew Dalets, with which David's name was spelled. Recently two inscriptions have been found proving that the Mogen David (which some call "Star of David") was the seal of state of ancient Israel. The first may be found in David Rohl's book Pharaoh's and Kings. It is a bass relief sculpture of King Jehu (one of the righteous kings of Israel) with his men behind him, paying homage to the King of Assyria who has conquered him. The relief shows the seal of state of Assyria over the head of the King of Assyria (the winged solar disk). King Jehu has the seal of state of Ancient Israel over his head, the Mogen David. The second is even older. It may be found in the book THE NAME OF GOD by James R. Harris p. 205. It dates to the time of the Judges and was found at Gibeon. It is a Mogen David with YAH written in Hebrew in it.
Some have pointed to the "Star" (Hebrew: "Kokba") in Amos to defame Jews for using this symbol. However the "Star of David" is actually in Hebrew the MOGEN DAVID ("SHIELD of David"). NOT the KOKBA DAVID ("Star of David") . It is only in English that the MOGEN DAVID has been mistakenly called the "Star of David". Moreover, regardless of what other uses this symbol may have had, the archaeological evidence is clear. The Mogen David WAS the seal of state of ancient Israel, even under the righteous King Jehu. Moreover it was used as a symbol by Hebrews in connection with worshiping YAH as early as the time of the Judges. The Nazarene Seal is a seal that was found on several artifacts found in the ancient Essene Quarter of Jerusalem in a grotto adjacent to the upper room, which is directly astride the ancient location of the ancient Nazarene Synagogue on Mt. Zion. This is a synagogue which was built after 70 CE with stones from the recently destroyed Temple carried over from the adjacent ridge of the Temple Mount. The artifacts are widely regarded as being of Nazarene origin and dating to the early second century. The artifacts in question are some shards of pottery, n oil lamp and a "stand" labeled in a first century Aramaic script "for the anointing oil" which appears to be a stand for a flask of anointing oil. Remains of a matching flask, also containing the seal were found nearby.
The seal is made up of three parts. The center of the seal is the Mogen David (Star of David, or literally "Shield of David"). The top "point" of the Mogen David serves as the triangular shaped base for a seven branched menorah. The bottom "point" of the Mogen David is part of the lower, more controversial symbol. This lower symbol has been mistaken by some as a "Christian Fish" and redrawn by many so as to more closely resemble a Christian fish. In fact an image of a fish would have violated the Torah commandment against religious images of "…anything… that is in the water under the earth…" (Ex. 20:4). Many redrawings of the seal have altered the "snout" of the supposed fish, making it pointed, as it is in the Christian fish. I have examined photographs of all eight of the "seal" artifacts, and in only one is the "snout" pointed, and that is one in which the entire seal is drawn with straight lines, so that the bottom symbol is diamond shaped. In the seven remaining artifacts the "snout" is missing from five, and rounded in the remaining two.
The next question is the "eye" of the "fish". The eye portion is missing from four artifacts. In three others the "eye" appears to be a dot, in two of these the dot is off centered and could an "eye", while in one of them it is nearly centered. In the remaining artifact the "eye" is a "+". This symbol is not a "fish" but the Hebrew letter ALEF as drawn in the Essene "Cryptic Script" used in 4Q298. The "eye" was originally a TAV as written in the ancient Paleo Hebrew Script (which also closely resembles the TAV used in the Essene "Cryptic Script" of 4Q298. This TAV is written dead center. It appears to have later been replaced in time by a "dot" which eventually evolved into the "eye" of a "Christian Fish". The original bottom portion of the seal was a representation of "The Alef and Tav". In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan Catlin

Greetings, Today when I came in one man looked up and saw me and said Pastor Dan What would we do without you" I get things like this all the time but today it hit me very hard, you see it has gotten worse and worse all year to where donations are a trickle the Bills will double the 1st or close to it and no money in to pay. One very large problem is there was NO mail out newsletter this month, if I do not do one the first of next week then we are really going to hurt much worse, we are only staying open by a very thin thread in fact mom wrote a check for food that will drain the account, we have nothing but prayers to fall back on, but of course that is how we have stayed open all along. I have two people needing shoes and one needing a prescription $20 the shoes are $12 a pair plus tax.....I just talked to a man who just lost his $55,000 home, yes it is tough out there and the Father keeps sending me more and more people.... So no today I am not asking you for money, yes great is the need but I feel you will donate if you can or feel led to, but I will ask you for prayer and not for me but for those we care for, those that have been sent to us. I just had a man come in I have known for a long time and we were are talking why I am writing this and he springs on me about how some people do not like me because I support the Jews or rather that I am a Jew? Well I am grafted in, the point in this city the large block for me getting help is because of my Biblical support of Israel, in fact I had a fellow who works for the bank tell me the very same thing.....Oh well I cannot change to please them no matter what the cost is to me... Please lift us in prayer and help if you can,
I will ask that if any large ministries read this then consider helping your brethren if you can? Right now I am working on other ways to support the work we do and keep the mission open...the saints that helped us get this building together, rebuild it put of $50,000 in it. This was just to save it from the wrecking ball, now the building which we are paying $55,000 for on a lease option is worth around $120,000 according to the real-estate guy who worked with us on the lease option. Would it not be a shame to loose all that, but it is not the money that has went into the building that matters but the people that we help. When we moved in outside all night long the police battled the pushers and the street walkers and other various criminals. It was not safe to be outside as someone would rob you no joke. It was like watching cops the TV program all night long, in fact swat teams hide out behind our fence before raiding pushers across the street.
We demanded a change in the hood both up front with the criminals and stood our ground in the spirit, now children can play outside day or night, the pushers are gone as is the hookers..It is quiet outside at night. The Police had been trying to clean the hood up for years after one year of us being there it changed. We have been doing this 11 years and going on 4 on this street corner. We are needed there badly, so I am asking you today to donate something yes even a $10 can help especially if everyone who read this would help with something. It is a shame that people I know in Wichita that believe in what we do and are not broke will not tender anything to help, as for the agencies they would love to see me gone as then the people would lose the voice of truth we have been. I plan on going nowhere, yes I brought a Christian phone book home and plan on writing some churches or Businesses in Wichita and as for help, but I think my help will come from you saints. In His Perfect Peace, Pastor dan
Philippians 3:13,14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Shabbat Shalom I am Blessed to say we feed out 13 ½ dozen egg sandwiches and sixty two plates of food for dinner today. Steve made some awesome banana nut bread and I had several people wanting to help out today. I love that so many want to help but I am now having two many people standing around in the kitchen. Only problem is everyone runs off after feeding and no one wants to clean. I need three people who will stay and help sweep, mop, do dishes and take out trash. I paid a few more bills but I have three large ones that need to be paid by Tuesday. One of them is for 256.00, one for 267.00 and the last 127.00. Please pray for the funding to get these paid they are all bills related to the Mission. The first is Thursday and I have close to 1200.00 in bills due by Friday.
I have to go it is time for service so I pray you all have a very nice and restful Shabbat
We love you oh I almost forgot we had two people donate two slabs of brisket for Tuesday and that is all the meat we have at this moment. Shalom sisterlinda
