The word of the Lord, all through out history, old and new teaches us lessons. EVen the Old testament, teaches us that during a time of peace, is when an attack or war broke out. It says, there will be a time of peace, maybe even after all this unrest, like a troubled sea, tossing, but be prepared, when peace comes, then a sudden disaster. bv. Check the sunrise, and sunset, only the beauty of the creation of our Lord's love towards us. " I am the way, the truth, and the light of the world. " Come unto me, and I will give you rest. " bv.
JUST IN the good news.

If you don't know the strength of the ocean waters, then watch some utube videos of tsunamis, where metal is bent, and all is destroyed. Yet, the one who created the sea, and all within, has the power of all, and the authority over all the unrest in a human's soul, to say, "Peace be still, as Yeshua walked on the water's in the howl of the winds, and the torrents of the rain, he spoke, in Authority, to that storm, and said, "Peace be still." I believe in him, and am not ashamed.
Have you ever wondered why Christ the Lord, said to the women, or called her a dog, because she was not a Hebrew. That verse is in the new testament. I think this, and it is my opinion, my view on this. A dog knows it's master, it knows that he doesn't have to beg each time, for a treat. He even an animal has certain, faith, that he will get a treat, or his owner is arriving at the door, he waits patiently. The other dog, could beg and beg all the time, and not believe that in due time, he will get what he deserves. LIke with us, beggar's or believers. Powerful story, will post. Being impatient, or resting, and waiting, believing.

He walks to us, with us, and stands at the door and knocks. Revelation; John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that who so ever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. He told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise." Peace be still, in the midst of the storm, there is the eye, there is peace in the storm. A place of protection, Psalm 91:15

Jews in Jesus’ day sometimes referred to Gentiles as “dogs.” In Greek, this word is kuon, meaning “wild cur” (Matthew 7:6; Luke 16:21; Philippians 3:2). Non-Jews were considered so unspiritual that even being in their presence could make a person ceremonially unclean (John 18:28). Much of Jesus’ ministry, however, involved turning expectations and prejudices on their heads (Matthew 11:19; John 4:9–10). According to Matthew’s narrative, Jesus left Israel and went into Tyre and Sidon, which was Gentile territory (Matthew 15:21). When the Canaanite woman approached and repeatedly asked for healing, the disciples were annoyed and asked Jesus to send her away (Matthew 15:23).
At this point, Jesus explained His current ministry in a way that both the woman and the watching disciples could understand. At that time, His duty was to the people of Israel, not to the Gentiles (Matthew 15:24). Recklessly taking His attention from Israel, in violation of His mission, would be like a father taking food from his children in order to throw it to their pets (Matthews 15:26). The exact word Jesus used here, in Greek, was kunarion, meaning “small dog” or “pet dog.” This is a completely different word from the term kuon, used to refer to unspiritual people or to an “unclean” animal.
Jesus frequently tested people to prove their intentions, often through response questions or challenges (see John 4:16–18; and 4:50–53). His response to the Canaanite woman is similar. In testing her, Jesus declined her request and explained that she had no legitimate expectation of His help. The woman, however, lived out the principle Jesus Himself taught in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8). Her response proved that she understood fully what Jesus was saying, yet had enough conviction to ask anyway (Matthew 15:27). Jesus acknowledged her faith—calling it “great”—and granted her request (Matthew 15:28).
So, according to both the context and language involved, Jesus wasn’t referring to the Canaanite woman as a “dog,” either directly or indirectly. He wasn’t using an epithet or racial slur but making a point about the priorities He’d been given by God. He was also testing the faith of the woman and teaching an important lesson to His disciples.

This is in reply to the passage of the LOrd Yeshua speaking with a Canaanite women. AND: Did you know the name Jesus was not the name given by the angle to call him? It was in Hebrew it was YEshua means; Salvation. A fitting name indeed. Yes he surly is. The name Jesus came from the Greek translation. and the first kjv, did not use Jesus it used a different name not even close to Jesus. I believe it has made it's way through the years, and non hebrews recongnize it as Jesus. But it is not officially the Lord's name. It was Yeshua, which means salvation. IN the hebrew languge and arabic, you will notice that Yeshua is said, in singing. Sad secenrio, of the Gospels, waterdown,, but as you read above. Yeshua was an Orthodox, Rabbi, who taught at a young age in the Temple. He wore as all the disciples a full men's Tallit. Israel today, only acknolwledges the True Religion or The True Faith of Israel, as being Orthodox. It does not consider any other as official. I Thank the Lord Yahweh, Adoni G d who still upholds his nation today. It has not changed it's name, nor it's course. I would think this is the closest to Christianity. Orthodox women wear modest clothing. As in skirts. I've been in some places that speak Hebrew as in synagogues, and wearing mini skirts teaching lessons, in front, and yes sitting down, bad mouthing the nation of Israel, because they don't acknowledge any other reformed, or conservatives. I know why the Lord Yeshua said, as a metaphor of not giving things, to the dogs, in a lot of scriptures, it seems, they are wild, and untamed spiritually, just as the rest of the gentiles.
Every church/ temple has gone downhill. the LOrd said this. Destroy the temple he preached in, and he would build it up in 3 days. He was describing himself, after 3 days, he arose, and conquered death, and the depletion of what was taken from us in the garden of Eden. Many curses attached to it. Thorns and the Thistles, satan at the heel of mankind, showing tempting, and destroying. Yes Yeshus God's son is very real. don't mock the Jews. Yeshua is a relationship, not a religion. People don't have to wear a name tag, Jesus or a car bumper, to say they believe, Yeshua said some people honor him with just their words, lip service, but their heart is very far away.
Leaving the 10 commandment, was not what the Lord said, he came to abolish. bv. He said :" I did not come to abolish the Law but to fullfill it. Have you ever felt, you knew someone who appeared very devout in the faith, and yet had other Gods? Drug addiction, that is one. Pornography, birbes, adultery, anything that replaces YOUR FULL LOVE FOR HIM. HE SAID, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT YA'LL. LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL OF YOUR MIND, AND ALL OF YOUR SOUL. bE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU. BV.
tHERE ARE HUNDREDS OR MORE OF DENOMINATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY. jUST AS HUNDREDS OF SECTS UNDER THE TRUE FAITH OF oRTHODOXY. iF YOU WATCH THE UTUBE VIDEOS, SOME SECTS WHO CALL THEMSELVES ORTHODOX SOMETHING, JUMP ON THEIR CARS, SING LOUD, AND DISTURB THE PUBLIC ALL DAY LONG. sOME AS THE GUR SECT, WHICH ALSO DRESS AND LOOK LIKE THE ORTHODOX, WANT THE WOMEN TO WORK, AND SUPPORT THEM, AND THEY WANT TO JUST READ THE TORAH ALL DAY. tHERES ALWAYS THE FIRST tRUTH. oF Christianity, THEN THE SNAKE HANDLERS, ETC. AND THERE IS THE FIRST tRUTH TO iSRAEL, TRUE FAITH, WHICH IS oRTHODOX. NOT ANY OF THE HUNDREDS OF SECTS BENEATH IT. Just shows you, that even the Jewish and Christian, don't obey or really do the word. Deuteronomy and ya all know that the first 5 books of the bible are the Torah, from Genesis, on to the next 4. Moses was instrumented not to take or change any of the commandments. Yet God is not loved with all the heart, man has made himself many idols, and pleasures of his flesh, to satisfy, it cravings for drugs, sex, and money. This dosn't sound holy to me. Be holy for God is holy, without holiness no man shall see the Lord. " bible verse. It is too hard to believe in Yeshua. YOu need to deny the flesh. and the Holy spirit helps us with that. EVen plsam 91:15 I will help you in the day of trouble. DAvid's psalm. The flesh cannot enter heaven, it stays where it was created, as the dust of the earth. Genesis, for God created man from the dust of the earth, to which it will return. But believing in Yeshua, he recreates us, within, born again of his spirit, this is what is able to enter the kingdom of God. surly the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. bv. there are haters of their own faith. and there are haters of others preaching Yeshua, nothing even close of Yeshua's salvation. Nt. said YOu bless God , and curse your fellow man, this should not be, for God created him in his own image. So curse other's and then sing, and preach, and teach. no wonder Yeshua said, there is no holiness , and man creates evil in his heart continually. bv. Yeshua wept over Jerusalem, they were calloused and stiff necked, he said circumciser your hearts, so you could be tender and near the heart of God. He is real.
When Israel or the Hebrews were making their way out of Egypt, God was really leading them, providing, and protecting, caring for them. When Moses went to the mountain to get the 10 Commandments, he came down, to all kinds of things going on. Is it time to get the commandments out. Birth pangs. The bible talks about the whole earth groaning, in travail, as a women giving birth. Birth pangs. Even as they get closer and more frequent, it says, know that the time is at hand. bv,, as in the days of Noah, they were just living their life, and then sudden calamity, or disaster came upon the whole world. The flood. So shall it be in the days before the return of Christ. bv Their are some writings that are saying we are in the sixth seal. The seventh seal is the return of Christ, or the rapture. No man knoweth the day or the hour of the LOrds return. He shall come as a thief in the night, watch therefore and be ready. Birth pangs, I will get back with these scriptures. Today.
Back biting in politics is not good. It says, not to do this, anywhere, " do not backbite one another, least ye consume each other. bv, A house divided against its self will not stand. bv. The crumbling and the burning down of the politicians, because the book of James says, this: The tongue is an unruly member, who could tame it, it is set on fire from the gates of hell. Fire upon fire bringeth a bigger fire. No one bites their tongue, back biting leads to destruction... Only God could take this nation out of darkness, it is too big for human hands. No one has a magic wand to wave, bible says, if my people shall humble themselves, and pray, I will heal their land. Back biting each other, is not a sign of humbleness, and the fires are set. Prayer, no more in schools, neither the commandments. Birth pangs..

Acts:28 1 The Apostle Paul got ship wrecked, and had to throw all his belongings out to sea, on the way to the Island of Malta. He then had to swim, the rest of the way. When he got there, he made a fire to keep from the cold. A viper came out of it, and wrapped it's self around his hand. The chapter says, the Islanders said it was a bad curse to him, because he must of did something and watched it to swell, but it neither swelled and they thought he was a G d. What's the lesson here and this is from me, my inspiration of this. Sometimes we open the gates of hell's fires, and words like flames or sometimes it's our fault. Instead of back biting the person, again back, the viper's fangs, full of deadly poisons, inflict the spirit, causing anger, and bitterness, and retaliation. That is a lesson, to shake if off. There are those in authority , who are not put there but by themselves, in many ways by many others. Then there are those who God puts there in authority, who are able to shake off the venom, they are the thick skin. There's a bible verse, that says, " I will harden you to difficulty. "Sometimes we need to be hard against attacks, like a shield, of metal, that those things, or words, or thoughts, do not penetrate the mind. This is true leadership, a Role Model, that all nations, need. The world cannot be ruled with an iron fist, but a hand of forgiveness, this is Strength and real Authority at it's best.
Galatians 5:15, NIV: "If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."
WE need to realize what the bible says. We were made in the image of God. He spoke things into existence, and said, let there be light, etc. Sometimes we look at the world huge mountains, and planets, and wonder how really big if God. HIs words created things, and his hands created Adam. I had a dream a girl was saying, God is holding my hand. I looked up some things in the bible, could God really hold a childs hand. There are many many scriptures that say that very thing, God holds us up with his hand, his hand is not shortened that it cannot save, so many scriptures about it. It is speaking, spiritually, his hands must be our size. IN heaven, IDk and bible says, no man has seen God. But, when one of the phrophets had a talk together, and you know I don't know who it was, the Lord told him, he cannot look upon his face, and turned his back so he could only see his shadow. Well, if God were so entirely huge llke a mountain, that shadow would of caused a darkness maybe upon the entire city, and the glory of his countenance REvelation says, is the light in heaven. So could it be possible that God is our size, and made in his image is like us. So we shoot words out like bullets at others, and don't do that, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." bv.

I don't think we realize the depth of God's love towards us. Life's thorns, and hurts, bitterness, and un forgiveness' leave a callous on our spirit. It says, the kingdom of God is like a little child, a tender heart, a heart that is sensitive to hear the Holy spirit, to feel the love of God, and love towards the fellowman. Hurts leave a scar, a deep wound that hardens. There is a light that comes forth from the word of God. We wonder how could God allow this or that. Man has his own choice's. Also says, men love darkness rather than the light, because if they get to close to the Son the light will expose the sins, so they have a choice.
