In the last few weeks I have posted multiple times from multiple angles why it is so critically important that we, as the Body of Messiah, come together in unity and walk in fellowship with our brothers. Al takes that message to a whole new level with a terrific lesson from last week’s Torah portion dealing with Korach. I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to read and absorb!
Here is the punch line, to make sure you don’t miss it:
Up to now we have proven unable to govern ourselves and our families, even with the redemptive revelation offered by our Invisible God. For millennia God’s people have awaited Messiah to come and do this for us, and for millennia God has waited for His people to make themselves ready for Him to govern them. If we want to see Messiah reign over us in person, perhaps we would do well to stop building our own little kingdoms and prepare our hearts for Him to build His.
Enjoy!

Duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. After the painting by J. Mund. (Illustration from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. XI, “American Founders.”, John Lord, LL.D., London, 1902). Accessed on Wikimedia Commons.)
What would happen if the Vice President of the United States committed murder and got away with it? It is not a rhetorical question; such a thing happened long ago, in the early days of the American Republic. On July 11, 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr shot and killed fellow New Yorker Alexander Hamilton. The two had been adversaries for several years, and eventually their enmity resulted in a duel at a neutral site in Weehawken, New Jersey. It is unclear who fired first, but it is certain that Hamilton fell mortally wounded, dying the next day in New York City. Burr fled, facing charges of murder both in New York and New Jersey…

Many years ago, Ruach ha Kodesh showed me about how intense will be the love between His followers during the unprecedentedly severe persecution that is just about to start. Believe me when I tell you, we will all SOON be as the Father and Son are one !

Well, it doesn’t happen without us actively working toward that end. I hear you, and unfortunately it may take a crucible, but it will happen. Best we move that way before being forced to.

reading this morning in the call of torah and a neat note on the subject of unity:
‘however, whereas the Ten Commandments speak to the Jewish people in the singular, the laws here are expressed in the plural. As the Zohar explains, at Sinai the people were wholly United-of one heart and mind-and were therefore addressed as a perfect unit. This degree of unity was never achieved agajn and that is why the people are addressed here in the plural.’ Commentary on Lev 18:2 all things being restored soon, hoorah!
