Meditation Verse

 

Hebrews 11:1 Amplified Translation

 

 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].[2]

 

 

Quote Of The Day:

 

Daniel Juster “Growing to Maturity”[3] A Messianic Jewish Guide

 

“When Corrie Ten Boom found herself in a lice-infested Nazi concentration camp barracks, she praised God for the Bible in her possession and taught the woman the Word.  Trials are opportunities to show forth God’s glory, to see Him work “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man…..God will also provide a way….1 Cor. 10:13.  The believer can praise God in all circumstances; financial reversals, betrayals, and even death, because he knows and believes God’s Word. The promises of the Word are so great!”

 

 

Deborah’s Drash Commentary:

 

Faith-filled Warriors of Righteousness

Hebrews 11:32-24

32  And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [Judg. 4–5; 6:1–8, 35; 11:1–12, 15; 13–16; I Sam. 1–30; II Sam. 1–24; I Kings 1–2; Acts 3:24].

33.Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [Dan. 6].

34  Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [Dan. 3].[4]

 

What do Gideon,Barak,Samson, Jephthah, David have in common?  They were all men of faith and all men of war.  Faith can be used to subdue the enemy Psalm 91:7 “A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you”  Many of the mighty men of G-d including Abraham, Moses and Joshua were men of war and men of faith.   They fought wars for righteousness sake as instructed by God.    When Yeshua comes back He will come back as a warrior…Revelation19:11

 

1  After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). [5]

 

Faith can be used in time of  National Conflict and of War.  Many of the nations that Israel went to war against no longer exist because they obeyed G-ds instructions, and when they did not obey G-d’s instructions to destroy the enemy, it came back to haunt them.  G-d not only gave Israel strength to fight, but also on more than one occasion fought with them.   These were moral wars, righteous wars fought by faith for the sake of the Kingdom of God and Freedom from the enemies of God.  These nations that Israel was called to war against were nations that practiced a multitude of abominations, such as human sacrifice, sacrifice of innocent children to their pagan G-ds and demons, along with pagan prostitution, homosexualty and sexual perversion to name a few.  They had no respect for life or morals or for the G-d of Israel, even though he gave them 400 years to repent from their sins of Idolatry they did not and were destroyed by Israel.   G-d is patient and long-suffering, but those who refuse to repent and accept His free gift of salvation through Yeshua Ha Mashiach will also face His Judgement.

 

2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 

Luk 13:3  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

1Co 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

 

Rev 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev 20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Rev 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

The Lord is with us in our Spiritual Battles and is ever ready to fight with us and for us.

 

2Ch 20:15  And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

2Ch 20:16  To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

2Ch 20:17  Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

2Ch 20:18  And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

2Ch 20:19  And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

2Ch 20:20  And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

2Ch 20:21  And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

2Ch 20:22  And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

2Ch 20:23  For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

2Ch 20:24  And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

 

 

Exo 15:3  The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

 

Exo 17:16  For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

 

Deu 4:32  For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Deu 4:33  Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

Deu 4:34  Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Deu 4:35  Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

Deu 4:36  Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

 

What about the sixth commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill” doesn’t this pertain to war?

 

“Thou shalt not kill”, in the Hebrew the word “kill” refers to murder; not killing as in warfare.  It is a prohibition to murder, homicide.  

 

Dakes notes on Exodus 20:13

 

This law does not prohibit killing as punishment for crimes, or killing in war, which God Himself commanded these same people to do; but it does prohibit killing for malice and premeditative and willful destruction of man who was made in the image of God.

 

Gen 9:6  All violence

 

Exodus  21:12 stratagem

 

Exodus 21:14 – Assault and battery

 

Exodus 21:18 – Hatred and Anger

 

Leviticus 19:14,17 – vengeance

 

Leviticus 19:18 – danger to human life in general was forbidden.  There are 61 commands against murder in the Torah.

 

War is a necessity at times to preserve Freedom, especially Freedom of Religion and Freedom to live without fear and to be able to live in safety and security.  Until ha Satan’s lease upon the Earth is up, we are called to natural and spiritual warfare for the Kingdom of Yahweh.

 

Ecc 3:1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ecc 3:2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

Ecc 3:3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Ecc 3:4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Ecc 3:5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

Ecc 3:6  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

Ecc 3:7  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

Ecc 3:8  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

 

Yeshua is also known by titles of war:

 

L-rd of Hosts or YHWH of armies

 

Jos 5:13  And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

Jos 5:14  And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

Jos 5:15  And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

 

Yeshua is the leader of the armies of angels in Heaven.

 

1  After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). [Ezek. 1:1].[6]

 

King of Kings and L-rd of L-rds.

 

Rev 17:14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful

 

Mat 10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

 

Freedom does not come cheep.   Sometimes it takes physical warfare to preserve freedom i.e Israel’s current and daily battle to keep their land that G-d promised them, The American Revolutionary War, The American Civil War, World Wars I & II all were battles to preserve Freedom and free people from the Tyranny of others who would want to put them into bondage and the war that is being fought today against the evils of Terrorism.

 

We as Messianic Believers have been called to  Spiritual Warfare through Intercessory Prayer.  Until Yeshua comes back to set up His Kingdom we have been called to do daily warfare in the Ruach/Spirit to hold back the spiritual wickedness in high places.  This is done by faith and the Word.   We need to support Israel and those who are going into battle against Terrorism today with much prayer and as much support as we can give.  G-d will hold us accountable if we are apathetic when our brothers and sisters are going into battle and we do nothing to help.

 

Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

The Complete Jewish Bible Commentary by David Stern

 

We are not struggling against human beings but against the unseen agents (1:20–23a&N) of the Adversary, Satan (Mt 4:1&N). This is why “the weapons we use to wage war are not worldly. On the contrary, they have God’s power for demolishing strongholds” of demonic spirits (2C 2b–5&N). This description of the armor and weaponry that God provides confounds people who are used to fighting people by worldly methods and have no sensitivity to God’s methods, which are: truth, righteousness, readiness grounded in the Good News of shalom, trust, deliverance (or: “salvation”), the Word of God given by the Spirit, and prayers. Unbelievers taken aback by the apparent triumphalism of the song, “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” should understand that the “soldiers” in this song, that is, the believers in Yeshua, are not fighting to force non-Christians to convert, but to overcome demonic principalities and powers by God’s prescribed methods. [7]

 

2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

 

1Ti 1:18  This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

 

Rev 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

 

Rev 17:14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

 

Rev 19:19  And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

 

These men of faith of old, were not spiritual wimps, they were worshippers of G-d mighty men of faith who did what was needed to be done for the Kingdom of Yahweh.

 

What about “Conscientious objectors”? Those who base their reason not to go to war on “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and refuse to go to battle and fight for their home country.  Where would Israel be today if this was their attitude?  

 

Moses faced the same situation in Numbers 32 when he stood at the border of Canaan.  The two tribes Reuben and Gad wanted to settle on the other side of the Jordan and not enter into the land.  They wanted to be farmers and raise their families near the fertile river, so since they were not entering the Promised land they felt no need of going into battle with the other Tribes who were entering Canaan. 

 

Moses addressed the tribes of Reuban and Gad warning them of four consequences of refusing to defend their country:

 

1.     They would cause discouragement in those who go to battle.  Pasifism toward war causes the troops to become discouraged.

 

6 But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you yourselves sit here?

7“Now why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which the Lord   has given them?[8]

 

  1. Listening to men rather then God would also result in discouragement.  The children of Israel had not learned pacifism from G-d; they had learned it from their fathers.  Just as the Israelites received the evil report from the ten spies, became discouraged and as a result did not want to fight, their descendents were walking in the same pacifism.

 

8“This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9“For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.[9]

 

  1. God becomes angry with those who refuse to fight with their brothers and defend their nation.

 

10     “So the Lord’s anger burned in that day, and He swore, saying,

         11           ‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully,

         12           except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the Lord fully.’

         13           “So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord was destroyed.

         14           “Now behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of the Lord against Israel.

         15           “For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”

         16          Then they came near to him and said, “We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones;

         17           but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

         18           “We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance.

         19           “For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”

         20          So Moses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for the war,

         21           and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven His enemies out from before Him,

         22           and the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the Lord and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the Lord.

         23           “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.

         24           “Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and sheepfolds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”

         25          The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.

         26           “Our little ones, our wives, our livestock and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead;

         27           while your servants, everyone who is armed for war, will cross over in the presence of the Lord to battle, just as my lord says.”

         28          So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

         29           Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross with you over the Jordan in the presence of the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

         30          but if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”

         31           The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, “As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.

32               “We ourselves will cross over armed in the presence of the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us across the Jordan.”[10]

 

  1. The choice not to fight is called sin.

 

When is it ok and an act of faith to turn the other cheek? 

 

When we are attacked for our faith in Yeshua and for the sake of the Gospel.  We are not to retaliate if we are attacked as Messianic Believers in Yeshua because in this case vengence belongs to the L-rd.

 

Matthew 5:39

 

39   But I say to you, Do not resist the evil man [who injures you]; but if anyone strikes you on the right jaw or cheek, turn to him the other one too.[11]

 

In the context that Yeshua was speaking in He was instructing them on how to act if they were struck for being a believer in Him as Messiah and for their testimony of Him, in this case they were not to retaliate. Yeshua was not speaking about self-defence against criminals or defending their nation.

 

In come cases Yeshua did instruct them to have weapons in their homes to protect them against thieves and while they were traveling.

 

Luke 22:36

36   Then He said to them, But now let him who has a purse take it, and also [his provision] bag; and let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy a sword.[12]

 

Luke 11:21

21    When the strong man, fully armed, [from his courtyard] guards his own dwelling, his belongings are undisturbed [his property is at peace and is secure].[13]

 

When we are attacked for our stand for Yeshua Ha Mashiach, we should not retaliate.   Yeshua did not take up arms when He was arrested and sent to the Execution Stake/The Cross.  He could have called  legions of angels to His defense.  Rav Shaul/Paul was persecuted for the gospel as well as Stephen, Peter, John and others.  They left their defense in the hands of Yahweh as we should also.

 

But in the case of Freedom G-d expects us to go into battle against those who are against Him.  It takes faith and courage to fight a war. Where would Israel be today if they did nothing to defend themselves against their enemies?  Where would America be today if it did not take up arms to defend themselves against their enemies?  Think about it.

 

We as Messianic Believers must also sound the Spiritual Battle cry as we interceed and pray for Israel and the World and use our faith and authority in Messiah Yeshua to take a stand against the enemy ha Satan. This is not time to sit back as Reuban and Gad wanted to do and say, Well I have everything I want, there is no need to take a stand with my brothers and help them, why should I go to war to help them, after all I am not entering into the promised land I am completely comfortable here where it is safe?  America found out on September 11th that what Israel is facing every day has now come to our shores, that when we thought the unthinkable could not happen it did. This is a time to take a stand with Israel, especially in prayers and in intercession for their safety and also their National Salavation.

 

There will be no lasting Peace until the Prince of Peace, Yeshua comes back to rule on the Throne of David and His enemies have been made His footstool.

 

Psa 110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Psa 110:2  The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Psa 110:3  Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Psa 110:4  The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Psa 110:5  The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Psa 110:6  He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

Psa 110:7  He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

 

Footstool - connected with a throne (2Ch_9:18). Jehovah symbolically dwelt in the holy place between the cherubim above the ark of the covenant. The ark was his footstool (1Ch_28:2; Psa_99:5; Psa_132:7). And as heaven is God's throne, so the earth is his footstool (Psa_110:1; Isa_66:1; Mat_5:35).

 

 

1Th 5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 

We as believers in Messiah walk in Spiritual Shalom/Peace, but the World will know no peace until they bow their knees to the Prince of Peace and Crown Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 

Hebrews 11:32-33

 

32  And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [Judg. 4–5; 6:1–8, 35; 11:1–12, 15; 13–16; I Sam. 1–30; II Sam. 1–24; I Kings 1–2; Acts 3:24].

33.Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [Dan. 6].

34  Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [Dan. 3].[14]

 

As the Old Hymn goes –“Onward, Christian Soldier”  This is speaking of our Spiritual Warfare we have been called to for the Kingdom of Messiah.  (The “soldiers” in this song, that is, the believers in Yeshua, are not fighting to force non-Christians to convert, but to overcome demonic principalities and powers by God’s prescribed methods. [15])

 

Onward Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus Going on before.

Christ the royal master, Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle See his banners go!

 

Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God

Brothers we are treading, Where the saints have trod

We are not divided , All one Body we

One in hope and doctrine, One in Charity

 

Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus/Yeshua, Constant will remain

Glory, laud and honor, Unto Christ the King

This through countless ages, Men and angels sing
