Gleanings from Emor

Gleanings from #Emor

#Emor = speak = aleph-mem-resh = power-chaos-head. Speech has power over the chaos in your head. Read the #Bible aloud.

God does not challenge us with trivialities. He only challenges us in ways which will truly get us to grow. If we're imbalanced in one area, we will be sent a challenge to modify that trait.

Rabbi Simmons

Giving to God is more complex than a simple 10th to charity. Firstfruits, dough, feasts, poor, Temple, etc. #Emor

Devar

Hebrew: דָּבָר

Meaning: Word

It also means "thing"... When God speaks a #WORD He creates a "thing"

#Emor

A man has to be the prophet, priest, and king of his home. #Mashiach #Emor

"A wise man is cautious and turns always from evil, but a fool throws off restraint and is careless. (Proverbs 14:16) #Emor

Pentecost/Shavuot

Pentecost is the anniversary of the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. God's betrothal to His people. Sadly, they wanted the contract amended right away when in Exodus 20:16 They said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear, but let God not speak with us lest we die."

They did not want to hear God's voice. The voice of God is essential. His Word hid in our hearts is what keeps us from sinning. 

God doesn't answer and just allows Moses to become the mediator. Later on though God does address the amendment to the contract when He says to Moses, "A prophet from among you, from your brothers, like me, the Lord, your God will set up for you you shall hearken to him. According to all that you asked of the Lord, your God, in Horeb, on the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not continue to hear the voice of the Lord, my God, and let me no longer see this great fire, so that I will not die."

He would come Himself and dwell within our temple. Want to hear more?
