"All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his to put [him] to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days." (Esther 4:11 KJV) Esther's hesitancy can't be understood without reverse engineering the scroll.

The Scroll of Esther is filled with shocking headline in all the events leading to Purim. Within the prophecies of this Scroll, you will learn the secrets to arising to your highest call. Every verse in Esther is a shocking headline. In fact, the atrocities performed by #Hamas since October 7 parallel the evil schemes of #Haman in the Scroll of #Esther. The Jews today demonstrate the same light, gladness, joy, and honor as we see in the Scroll of Esther. “The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.” (Esther 8:16 KJV) Within this teaching, I will also share the 3 paradigms of antisemitism from the Torah.

One of my favorite movies is Back to the Future from filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis.

 

When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine created by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-altering chain reaction that could vaporize his future.1 At the end of the movie, “Doc reappears in the DeLorean, telling Marty to come with him to the future, that something has got to be done about their kids. He hurries Marty and Jennifer into the car. As Doc pulls out of the driveway, Marty points out that there is not enough road to accelerate to 88 mph, with Doc replying, "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads," and flies off in the now fusion-powered and hover-converted DeLorean, leading to the events of Back to the Future Part II.”2 This leads me to invite you to Back to the Beginning. That’s right, we are going back to where it all began at the beginning of time, the creation of the cosmos and mankind. Everything begins and ends in the Torah. The Torah is eternal. Your purpose is found in the Torah. Join Doc Sanjay on his DeToraLean for a journey of an eternity that accelerates beyond 88 mph. Your next stop, the Destined4Torah zone!

"2 The Israelites shall camp each man with his standard,* under the banners of their ancestral house; they shall camp around the Tent of Meeting at a distance." (Numbers 2:2)

The encampment of the tribes of Israel in the Wilderness shows us the secrets to setting the atmosphere for God's glory to fall as we see in the Book of Acts.

"15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'" (Acts 11:15-16 RSV)

The Lord is calling you to heavenly secrets through the prophetic lens of Esther.  Join us for part 3 in the Scroll of the Secret series.  The book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus.

"1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John," (Revelation 1:1 RSV)

That is the primary theme of the entire book.  As you study Revelation through the lens of Esther, you will see Divine Providence at work.

In the scroll of Esther, we learn the meaning of King Achashverosh’s name.

"1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus -- he was the Ahasuerus who reigned from Hodu to Cush, one hundred twenty-seven provinces“ (Esther 1:1 chabad.org)

Achashverosh was the ruler of the Persian empire which was the world power at the time.  The “acharis” in his name means “the end.” The “rosh” in his name alludes to “the beginning.”  Thus, his name alludes to the “Disclosure of the Divine.”  This teaches us that God’s divine plan is in control.  The secret of Achashverosh’s name reveals to us the theme of the Scroll of Esther.  We see the disclosure of the Divine. Achashverosh and the wicked Haman plotted to destroy the Jews. God turned it around and wrought a great deliverance for the Jews saving them from destruction. God will even reverse the plots of the wicked in your life as well.  This concept is known as Divine Reversal. We see divine reversal in Esther and Revelation. In fact, Jesus came to perform the ultimate Divine Reversal.”

“8 He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8 RSV)”

The concept of divine reversal also applies to the end of days in the book of Revelation.

Just as God brought forth a tremendous divine reversal in the scroll of Esther, He is also doing the same in the book of Revelation.

This teaching is part 1 of 11 in the “Let there be Light in the Ark” called “Let there be Light in your Ark.” Come experience the book of Exodus through the lens of the Light. The Lord is calling you to connect with Him in a deep and profound way through the Light especially during this Christmas season.  

Jesus was placed in a type of ark.  

“12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”” (Luke 2:12 RSV)   

Moses was placed in a type of ark.  

“3 And when she could hide him no longer she took for him a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds at the river’s brink.” (Exodus 2:3 RSV)   

Noah and his family entered into an ark.  

“1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.” (Genesis 7:1 RSV)   The Lord is calling you to experience Light in your ark. 

This was God’s plan from the onset of the Creation.  

“3 And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3 RSV)   Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to experience Let there be Light in your Ark.

You should not be intimated by the light of God’s Presence. I encourage you to approach the light. This teaching is part 11 in the “Let there be Light” series. Come experience the book of Genesis through the lens of the Light. The Lord is calling you to connect with Him in a deep and meaningful way through the Light.

In this week’s Torah portion, Parashah Vayigash, Judah approached Joseph.

“18 Then Judah approached him and said, “Please, my lord, let now your servant speak something into my lord’s ears, and let not your wrath be kindled against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh.” (Genesis 44:18 Chabad.org)

We encounter the spiritual conflict that ensued between Joseph and Judah. On the surface, it appears as though there is a clashing conflict between them. In this teaching, you will learn that each brother’s approach complimented the other.

Each brother had a different approach to disseminating the Light of holiness in the world.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to Approach the Light.

“9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 RSV)

Like Joseph and Judah, you are called to participate in the glorious light.

I invite you to join me for “Lighted Upon a Certain Place."

Jacob lighted upon a certain place.

“11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.” (Genesis 28:11 KJV)

You are called to light upon a certain place. This teaching is part 7 in the “Let there be Light” series. Come experience the book of Genesis through the lens of the Light. The Lord is calling you to connect with Him in a deep and meaningful way through the Light.

In this Torah portion, Jacob escaped his wicked brother Esau. Jacob left his hometown of Beersheba and journeyed to Haran. On his way, he lighted upon a certain place. He slept at that place and dreamed of a ladder connecting heaven and earth with angels ascending and descending the ladder. Jacob’s heavenly encounter will be the focus of this week’s teaching.

After this heavenly encounter, Jacob went to stay and work for his wicked uncle Laban.

He tended Laban’s sheep, labored 7 years for Laban in order to marry Rachel. On the wedding night, Laban gave him Leah instead. After realizing he was tricked, Laban agreed to give him Rachel in return for another 7 years of labor. After 14 years of labor, Laban convinced Jacob to stay. Jacob prospers despite Laban’s attempts to cheat him.

“7 yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.” (Genesis 31:7 RSV)

In addition to serving 14 years for Laban’s two daughters, Jacob served an additional 6 years for Laban’s flock.

“41 These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.” (Genesis 31:41 RSV)

Jacob built his family in Haran. When he left Haran, he encountered angels.

“1 Jacob went on his way and the angels of God met him; 2 and when Jacob saw them he said, “This is God’s army!” So he called the name of that place Mahana’im.” (Genesis 32:1-2 RSV)

What was the mission of these angels? Come find on Thursday night.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be Lighted on a Certain Place.

God appeared to Abraham.

“1 And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.” (Genesis 18:1 RSV)

In this Torah portion, God appeared to Abraham and elevated him in the anointing. In last week’s Torah portion, Abraham’s experience with God was limited to the constraints of his own human nature. In this week’s Torah portion, you will see how God took Abraham into the realm of the impossible. This experience with God allowed Abraham to receive direct revelation from God. You also are recipients of being immersed in the light.

This week we will explore the concept of connection. The giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the story of Ruth are about connection with God and with each other. Jesus taught His disciples about connection when He told them to follow Him.  Jesus said, “Follow me.”

“19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19 KJV)

We live in a follow me culture. Social media is all about connection.  We are all looking for connections, especially meaningful connections. Why do people visit anchestry.com? It’s because people are longing for connection and continuity. It connects people to where their story started.

A meaningful connection is made when you recognize God’s beauty in you and in others.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:14 KJV)

It is my prayer that you will discover meaningful connections through this series on Ruth.

You will recognize the image of God in yourself and in others. You have godliness in you. You have purpose in you. It’s part of your spiritual DNA.

This week we will explore the concept of the Path to Greatness through the example of Ruth and her ancestry. It is through connection that she discovered her path to greatness. God has prepared a personal and prophetic path to greatness for you. Your greatness is found through discovering God’s image for your life.

“So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”(Genesis 1:27 KJV)

Ruth discovered her path to greatness when she surrendered her life to God.

“And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God:” (Ruth 1:16 KJV)

The Path to Greatness is a path of responsibility. Winston Churchill said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.”

Ruth’s price of greatness was in her decision to take responsibility for her mother-in-law Naomi. Her path to greatness was chesed (selfless loving kindness).

Jesus teaches us about the path to greatness.

“And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:59-60 KJV)

The path to greatness is a path of total commitment. Jesus wasn’t teaching His disciples to hate their parents or not to bury the dead. A proper burial is mitzvah. Jesus was teaching His disciples that following Him means that learning from Him would take precedence over every other endeavor. That’s exactly what Ruth did and in doing so, she restored the honor of her deceased husband and her father-in-law. The blessings for serving God exponentially outweigh the price.

Happy Passover and Happy Easter! I pray that you had a glorious Resurrection Day!

We will begin a new series in the Scroll of Ruth (Meggilas Ruth) this week. The author of Ruth, the prophet Samuel, teaches us about dwelling Under the Wings of the Divine Presence. Under the Wings of the Divine Presence is metaphor for abiding in God’s glory. When the Israelites left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, they were welcomed by the Clouds of God’s Glory. They came to abide Under the Wings of the Divine Presence for 40 years in the desert. You too are coming to that spiritual place of abiding in His glory. Through the example of Ruth, you will receive the revelation to abide in God’s Presence.

We are living times of unprecedented changes of Messianic proportions. This is how Jacob lived the last 17 years of his life. The Torah reading for the week of December 27, 2020 is Parashah Vayechi consisting of Genesis 47:28 to 50:26. Parashah means portion and Vayechi means, “he lived.” The parashah title is taken from Genesis 47:28 that says:

“28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.” (Genesis 47:28 KJV)

Jacob lived his last 17 years in times of unprecedented changes of Messianic proportions. You are also living in times of unprecedented changes of Messianic proportions.

One of the nuances of Parashah Vayechi is that it is completely closed. That means there is no gap between the end of the previous parashah, Parashah Vayigash and this week’s parashah, Parashah Vayechi.

This subtlety is rare in the Torah. One of the secrets of this Torah portion is unveiled through this nuance. Typically, a Torah scroll starts each parashah with a new paragraph. That is not the case here. There is only a narrow gap, less than one letter wide between Parashah Vayigash and Parashah Vayechi.

Why is this? The answer is will shock you because it will reveal the days we are currently living in, days of Unprecedented Changes of Messianic Proportions

You may be familiar with the novel, Pride and Prejudice. It is an 1813 novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. Its humor lies in its depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the Regency era in Great Britain.

Now allow me to introduce you to the character development of Joseph, the viceroy of Egypt and his brother, Judah. The dialog between Joseph and Judah is one that is filled with hasty judgments, pride, and prejudice. The character development that takes place in Joseph and Judah sets the precedent for the future generations of Israel and helps us to understand the contentions that will take place between the Southern and Northern kingdoms of Israel. You really cannot understand the Torah and the books of prophecy (Nevi’im) in the Bible without the backdrop from Parashah Vayigash.

The Torah reading for the week of December 20, 2020 is Parashah Vayigash consisting of Genesis 44:18 to 47:27. Parashah means portion and Vayigash means, “He Approached.” The parashah title is taken from Genesis 44:18 that says:

“18Then Judah approached him and said, “Please, my lord, let now your servant speak something into my lord’s ears, and let not your wrath be kindled against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh.” (Genesis 44:18 Chabad.org)

The dialogue that took place between Judah and Joseph is one of the most intense communications in the Bible. Judah stood up to the second most powerful ruler in the world, Joseph. Just as one iron blade sharpens another iron blade, Judah and Joseph were like iron to each other.

“17 Iron sharpens iron, and a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17 Chabad.org)

Judah and Joseph were sharpened by this interaction. Their prophetic gifts and character development were taken to the highest level. This teaching will also illuminate the gift of prophecy in your soul.

Are you living the dream? Living the dream is an idiomatic phrase meaning, to experience the achievement of every success that one has aspired to achieve.

“1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.” (Genesis 41:1 KJV)

The Torah reading for the week of December 13, 2020 is Parashah Mikeitz consisting of Genesis 41:1 to 44:17. Parashah means portion and  Mikeitz means, “The End.” The parashah title is taken from Genesis 41:1 that says, “And it came to pass at the end of two full years…” In this parashah you will see Joseph Living the Dream. Living the Dream will bring you to an expected end as the prophet Jeremiah says:

“11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV)

God doesn’t expect you to live life aimlessly. Prophetic dreams will bring you to an expected end. In addition, every affliction and trial Joseph went through had a set end. The stage was being set for the rise of Joseph to the position of viceroy over Egypt. Joseph was truly living the dream. You are going to see the fulfillment of prophecy in Joseph’s life. The end also prophetically represents the Lord setting the stage for your platform too. My prayer today is that you will discover the dream that the Lord has placed in you through the Word of God. You too are Living the Dream.

“1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.” (Genesis 37:1 KJV)

The Torah reading for the week of December 6, 2020 is Parashah Vayeishev consisting of Genesis 37:1 - 40:23. Parashah means portion. Vayeishev means, “He Dwelt.” The parashah title is taken from Genesis 37:1 that says, “And Jacob dwelt…” In this parashah you will learn how to be mentored for the anointing and how to follow prophetic dreams. The anointing will empower you to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of your life.

“27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” (1 John 2:27 KJV)

“3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.” (Genesis 32:3 KJV)

The Torah reading for the week of November 29, 2020 is Parashah Vayishlach consisting of Genesis 32:3 to 36:43. Vayishlach means, “And He Sent.” The messengers that Jacob sent were angels.

This entire Parashah is about angelic activity. Your destiny is connected to Vayishlach. This Torah portion will teach you how to appropriate the ministry of angels.

“7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.” (Hebrews 1:7 KJV)

Jacob needed angelic assistance prior to his encounter with his archenemy, Esau. Likewise, God will also send angels to assist you in your darkest hour. Even Jesus was sent an angel to strengthen Him in His darkest hour.

“41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” (Luke 22:41-44 KJV)

“10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.” (Genesis 28:10 KJV)

The Torah reading for the week of November 22, 2020 is Parashah Vayeitzei consisting of Genesis 28:10 to 32:3 . Vayeitzei means “And He Went Out”

Your destiny is connected to “And He Went Out.” God is calling you to go out and proclaim the gospel.

“8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 KJV)

The secret to possessing the power of the Holy Spirit in your life is to go out. Jacob came into a new anointing when he went out. He would never have entered into the fullness of his calling if he did not go out. Jacob’s journey was accompanied by hardship, supernatural transformation of the sun and the land, angelic encounters, prophetic dreams, and the building of the Jewish nation.

“19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:”(Genesis 25:19 KJV)

I grew up as a fan of the Star Trek series known as Star Trek — The Next Generation. The opening script of Star Trek — The Next Generation is, “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before…”

I would like to rewrite the opening script of Star Trek — The Next Generation to align with this week’s Torah portion at Destined4Torah. It reads like this, “Generations, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of Destined4Torah. Its continuing mission to spread Torah to strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to transform one’s middot (character), to fulfill one’s mission in life, to boldly go where no one has gone before …”

The Torah reading for the week of November 15, 2020 is Parashah Toldot consisting of Genesis 25:19 – 28:9. Toldot means “Generations.”

Your destiny is connected to the Generations of Isaac. Isaac was the only worthy successor of Abraham. In the spiritual sense, Isaac was truly the “only son” of Abraham. One of Isaac’s greatest qualities was the depth of his prayer life that healed Rebekah from her barrenness.

“21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.”  (Genesis 25:21 KJV)

Are you ready to experience the World to Come? We will continue in the annual cycle of the weekly Torah portions. The Torah reading for the week of November 8, 2020 is Parashah Chayei Sarah consisting of Genesis 23:1 – 25:18. Chayei Sarah means “The Life of Sarah.”

The name of each parashah is the theme of the entire parashah. One of the themes of this parashah is the World to Come.

We will continue in the annual cycle of reading the Torah. The Torah reading for this week is Parashah Lech Lecha consisting of Genesis 12:1–17:27. Lech Lecha means “Go to yourself.”

“1 And the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1 Chabad.org)

The name of each parashah is the theme of the entire parashah. The theme of this parashah is to “Go to Yourself.” God called Abraham away from his finite self to a self that only God could reveal to him, the self that is one with Him. The journey to your true self is a journey of ascent in your relationship with God. In fact, Abraham experienced 10 tremendous ascents in his relationship with God.

These 10 ascents were experienced through 10 tests. One of these ascents is revealed in Genesis 12:1 that reveals 3 levels of departure from Abraham’s finite self to a self that only God could reveal to him.

“From your land” is related to your will (ratzon in Hebrew). God is leading you away from your own will. “From your birthplace” is a journey away from your emotional and behavioral self. “From your father’s house” is a journey away from your intellect.

Not only is Lech Lecha the theme of this parashah, it is also the theme of Abraham’s life. Abraham’s 10 tests begins with Lech Lecha and ends with another Lech Lecha that is hidden in the story of the Akeida (the binding of Isaac). What is your life’s theme? It is my prayer the Lord will reveal it to you in this prophetic impartation.

The Biblical New Year begins with Rosh Hashanah on the first day of the seventh month, the month of Tishrei.

“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.” (Leviticus 23:24 KJV)

Our destinies are sealed on Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the seventh month.  This day is known as the Day of Atonement.

“Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.” (Leviticus 23:27 KJV)

The next feast in the seventh month is Sukkot.

“34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD. (Leviticus 23:34 KJV)

Sukkot is the time of the year that is characterized by unspeakable joy.

“8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:” (1 Peter 1:8 KJV)

How does one bring meaning to his or her life? This question has been tackled by numerous philosophers, psychologists, religious leaders, and writers throughout history.

During each of the Biblical feasts, we read a Megillat (Scroll). For example, on Passover, we read Megillat Shir HaShirim (Song Of Songs). On Shavuot, we read Meggilat Rut (Ruth). On Tisha B’Av, we read Meggilat Eikah (Lamentations). On Sukkot, we read Meggilat Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). On Purim, we read Megillat Esther.

We are currently preparing for Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). Therefore, we will read Meggilat Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). It is difficult to see Sukkot and Ecclesiastes used in the same sentence because Sukkot is very optimistic and Ecclesiastes appears to be very pessimistic.  Sukkot is the culmination of the High Holidays in the Hebrew month of Tishrei. Sukkot is filled with optimism and tremendous joy. Ecclesiastes, in contrast seems very pessimistic especially because of these words,

“2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 RSV)

How can vanity be connected with optimism and unspeakable joy? The connection between Sukkot and Kohelet will teach you how to bring meaning to your life.

The Book of Revelation gives us Heaven's Perspective of the End of Days.  To understand Revelation, you must be in the Spirit.

"10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet" (Revelation 1:10 RSV)

The Apostle John was caught up into Heaven and saw the End of Days from Heaven's Perspective.

"1 After this I looked, and lo, in heaven an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne!" (Revelation 4:1-2 RSV)

The prophet Ezekiel shows us God's glory from earth's perspective.  The apostle John shows us God's glory from Heaven's perspective.  We will contrast both aspects of God's Glory as we conclude our series in the End of Days.  We are literally coming to the End of Days.

"5 And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 22:5 RSV)

One of the signs of the End of Days is the Insurrection of Gog and Magog against Israel.  What is the the Battle of Gog and Magog?

"18 But on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord GOD, my wrath will be roused." (Ezekiel 38:18 RSV)

"2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city." (Zechariah 14:2 RSV)

"21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." (Matthew 24:21-22 RSV)

“8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9 And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,” (Revelation 20:8-9 RSV)

The Insurrection of Gog and Magog against Israel is one of the most misunderstood themes of the End of Days.  We will examine this topic on Monday night.

One of the signs of the End of Days is the mystery of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  Both Zechariah and Revelation describe this mystery.

"8 "I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen; and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses." (Zechariah 1:8 RSV)

"2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. ... 4 And out came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and he was given a great sword. 5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hand; ... 8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:2, 4-5, 8 RSV)

These horsemen are angels that are sent out to carry out tasks set by the Almighty.  God is sending out angels on your behalf too.

Are you ready for the Revelation of the Redemptions?  The redemption from the Jewish exile in Egypt was revealed to Abraham.

“12 As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and lo, a dread and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years; 14 but I will bring judgment on the nation which they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.” (Genesis 15:12-14 RSV)

The redemption from the exile in Babylonia was revealed to Jeremiah. The redemption from the Persian and Median exiles was revealed to Daniel. The Jewish people are currently in their final exile, the Roman exile. To whom has the secret of the redemption in this final exile been revealed?  I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Jesus said that one one of the signs of the End of Days are the false prophets.  So far in our series in the End of Days, we have studied the purpose of Israel, the Temple, the 4 Horns, the 4 Carpenters, and the 11th Horn.  Next, we will analyze the false prophets.  The most infamous prophet in the Bible is Balaam.  I like to call him the prophet for profit.  Balaam represents the conspiracy and deception of end times.  Balaam represents an end times spirit to quench the anointing in your life.  You will learn how to counteract Balaam's plot to quench the anointing in your life.

One of the signs of the End of Days is the Temple Connection. The Jewish people experience 4 exiles according to Daniel's prophetic interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

The dictionary defines Legacy as a gift or a bequest that is endowed or conveyed from one person to another by a will. A legacy is more than just the bequeathing of something of monetary value. Let’s go beyond the dictionary meaning.

Legacy is something of you that makes your life worthwhile. Legacy is something that you leave for your future generations. We have received a tremendous legacy through every experience in King David’s life. That legacy includes making God his Father when he was rejected by his family, writing the Psalms, fighting God’s battles and gathering the spoils for God’s house, taking repentance to the highest level, forgiving his enemies, creating the blueprint for the Temple in Jerusalem, and having a shepherd’s heart for his nation. All of these things have been bequeathed to us. There is no price that you can put on this legacy. This is David’s Legacy.

“1 Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:” (2 Samuel 23:1 RSV)

What can you do to ensure that you Live a Legacy that will endure for generations and cause you to leave this world on a high note?  I invite you to come find out.

Much of the world has been in lockdown since late March.  How many people have actually been working on their character makeover?  Seeing the unrest and turmoil in the world, I would guess very few have been working on their character makeover.

The early church, initially consisting of 120 members experienced a character makeover when they assembled in the Upper Room for 10 days from Jesus' Ascension to the day of Pentecost.  The 120 were assembled in prayer during their lockdown.  This lockdown in prayer produced a character makeover.

"13 and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." (Acts 1:13-14 RSV)

The Church was born on the feast of Pentecost. This character makeover made room for the Holy Spirit to fill everyone that assembled in the Upper Room.

"1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts 2:1-4 RSV)

This day wasn't the first Pentecost.  The first Pentecost occurred roughly 1,800 years prior to this day.  This was the day in which God spoke the 10 Commandments to the Israelites.  This was the day that Israel became a nation.

"16 On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. 18 And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain quaked greatly." (Exodus 19:16-18 RSV)​

The birth of the Church is the anniversary of Israel becoming a nation.  Pentecost is the Greek word for fiftieth.  In Hebrew, the feast is called Shavuot meaning Weeks.  Both the Church and Israel experienced a mighty character makeover to receive the power of God.

We will scrutinize King David's life this week.  Why David?  It's because David was born and died during the feast of Shavuot.  His very life demonstrates that people can change for the better through a character makeover.  Can a person change?  Can a person that is set in his or her ways improve?  We will answer this question through an examination of David's life.  David is one of my favorite people in the Bible and you can experience a character makeover as your scrutinize your personality through the lens of David.

""2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." [Romans 12:2 RSV]

God has instilled a certain longing in our hearts that cause us to seek for things that are beyond the world.  The world will never satisfy this longing.

It is in the transformation process that you will discover the perfect will of God in your life.  The Apostles came into the fullness of their destinies on the 50th day of the transformation process.  Naomi and Ruth came into the fulness of their destinies on the 50th day.  The Israelites received their destinies on the 50th day of the transformation process.  The 50th day is known as Shavuot or Pentecost.   Both Naomi  and Ruth discovered that there was much more to life than the futility of the world.  Your destiny is also beyond the world.  The World Is Not Enough.

"The world stands upon three things - upon Torah, upon divine service, and upon acts of kindness. (Avot 1:2)"   

According to the above statement from the Sayings of the Fathers, the world stands upon 3 pillars, The Torah, divine service, and acts of loving kindness.  The Torah is the Word of God.  The Word of God will enable you to achieve your purpose in this world.  You are part of God's master plan in the world.  Divine services encompasses your devotion to God through prayer, sacrifice, and obeying His commandments.  Acts of kindness include you acts of generosity and kindness that go beyond what is expected.  That is what Jesus meant when He said,   

"41 and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." [Matthew 5:41 RSV]

"6 Now she arose with her daughters-in-law and returned from the fields of Moab, for she had heard in the field of Moab that the Lord had remembered His people to give them bread." [Ruth 1:6]

In order to live you may need to let some things die.  Naomi had hit this crossroads in life.  It was at this crucial junction in the Destined4Torah Zone that she had to make an important decision that would pave the path for the coming of the Messiah.  She had no idea that the decision she made was paving the path for the future redeemer of Israel.  She heard that the Lord had visited His people to give them bread.  Moab represents the world.  God is calling you out of the world and calling you to return to the Bread.

"4 But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"" [Matthew 4:4 RSV]

It is at these crucial junctions that you need to make important decisions that might have far reaching consequences and a long-lasting effect in your life and in the lives of others.  The decisions that Naomi made has affected countless generations.  Do you also want to make a positive effect on future generations? The way to Live and Let Die is in finding the bread.

Jesus is the Bread of Life and He is offering Himself to you.

"35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst." [John 6:35 RSV]

Like Naomi, when you make a decision to follow the Bread of Life, you will receive the grace to be sustained through this pandemic that is afflicting the earth.

"1 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elim'elech and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chil'ion; they were Eph'rathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there." [Ruth 1:1-2 RSV]

NEWS FLASH - Royal Heartbreak!

Following the news of the famine in the land, Elimelech and his immediate family leave Bethlehem to self-isolate in Moab.

In the Book of Ruth, we are introduced to a family of royal pedigree.  Elimelech, his wife Naomi and their two sons were of royal pedigree.  Elimelech was destined for the throne.   Elimelech had the potential to become king.  He made a serious error in judgment when he left his people behind and relocated to Moab with his immediate family.

Hello friends.  This is Dr. Sanjay Prajapati at Destined4Torah.  I would like to personally invite you to join me on Thursday, April 2 @ 5:30 PM PDT via Facebook Live on my Facebook page at Destined4Torah.  This week’s teaching is titled, “The Torah Zone” and subtitled “Replay.”  I will give you a little perspective on this powerful teaching.  Many of you may be familiar with Rod Serling's script from the Twilight Zone,

"You're traveling through another dimension.  not only a dimension of sight and sound but of Torah.  A journey into a wondrous land where everything that happened to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a signpost for their children. This is why the Torah elaborates its account of their journeys, their well-diggings and the other events of their lives. These all come as an instruction for the future: for when something happens to one of the three Patriarchs, one understands from it what is decreed to occur to his descendants.  Your next stop, the Torah Zone."

Now allow me to introduce you to the sign-post of the Torah Zone using a quote from the Rambam.  The Rambam is not to be confused with Bamm-Bamm from the Flintstones.  The Rambam was among the greatest Jewish scholars of all time.  My modified quote from the Rambam reads like this,

“You're traveling through another dimension. not only a dimension of sight and sound but of Torah. A journey into a wondrous land where everything that happened to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a signpost for their children. This is why the Torah elaborates its account of their journeys, their well-diggings and the other events of their lives. These all come as an instruction for the future: for when something happens to one of the three Patriarchs, one understands from it what is decreed to occur to his descendants. Your next stop, the Torah Zone.”

This darkness that the world is experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic is replay in the Torah Zone.  This Thursday night, I will introduce you to the darkness that the patriarch, Isaac experienced in the Torah Zone and how it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."" [Genesis 27:1 RSV]

You will receive so much comfort and strength as we examine the greatest test of Isaac's life in the Torah Zone.  See you on Thursday.

God is about to open your eyes even in the midst of the most dismal circumstances.

"19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink." [Genesis 21:19 RSV]

God opened the eyes of Hagar when her son, Ishmael was near to death.  God showed her a well of water in the desert.  Everything you read in Scripture is prophetic and is relevant to your life today.  Even in the midst of this Coronavirus pandemic, God is about to open your eyes.  When your eyes open, you are going to be amazed with God's Divine Providence and Mercy.

Greatness is knocking on the door of your heart.  This is not a time to panic.  This pandemic will pass.  Let's use this as an opportunity to open the door to the greatness that is in each and every one of you by demonstrating acts of selfless loving kindness.  Cain asked the infamous question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

"9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"" [Genesis 4:9 RSV]

The answer to Cain's question is a resounding YES.

Let's respond the way Mother Teresa lived her life.  She said, "Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs."

God is going to unleash greatness in your character and consequently bring you into a new anointing.  This greatness comes through engrossing yourselves in Torah study.  I invite you to join me for “Greatness is Knocking”

It’s time to change.  In order to advance, we must embrace change.

In the United States, we have springed forward one hour to daylight savings time (DST).   I wish we could have daylight savings time year round.  It’s not always easy to embrace change. We also see daylight savings time in the Torah when God caused the sun to supernaturally set for Jacob hours ahead of sunset to Torah Savings Time (TST).   

"11 And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep." [Genesis 28:11 RSV]

Jacob stayed in the place because God caused the sun to supernaturally set ahead of schedule.  When he slept in that place, he received a prophetic dream of a ladder connecting heaven to earth with angels ascending and descending upon it.  

God is also going to cause change in your life through the increase of angelic activity.  Embracing Torah will cause the supernatural to increase in your life.  Imagine God’s majestic hand guiding everything in your life.  He is going to change times and seasons for His glory.

I invite you to join me for “Embracing Change” on Thursday, March 12 @ 7:30 PM- Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.

I remember Earth, Wind, & Fire’s classic, September as I prepare this blog.  The words “Do you remember?” resonate throughout the song.  The words, “Do you remember?” also resonate throughout Scripture.

"14 And the LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven."" [Exodus 17:14 RSV]

"17 "Remember what Am'alek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, ... 19 Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven; you shall not forget." [Deuteronomy 25:17, 19 RSV]

The words, “Do you remember?” are a reminder of replay.  It’s a prophetic replay.  These words replay in every generation.  Every time Amalek appears, replay is taking place.  Every time the Jewish people are about to move into destiny by returning to the land of Israel, Amalek attacks.  For example, when the Jews leave Egypt and are about to come into the Promised Land of Israel, Amalek attacks.  When the Jews are about to return from Persia to Israel, Amalek attacks again in the form of Haman.  We see a third replay in 1917 when the British government announces support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in the Balfour Declaration.  This time, Amalek attacks in the form of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

Last year, Los Angeles declared September 21, Earth, Wind & Fire Day. There is something very special about the 21st day.  The 21st day of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar is the day in which God executes judgment upon the nations of the world.  Esther the Queen prophesies the hangings of 10 future sons of Haman in the Nuremberg trials.  The hangings of 10 Nazi leaders for crimes against humanity occurs on October 16, 1946.  Guess what day that is on the Hebrew calendar?  It is the 21st of Tishrei!  Ba de ya, say that you remember!

The words, “Do you remember?” should also resonate with your destiny.  During this season of Purim, you are coming into all the promises of God.  God is remembering and executing all His plans for good in your life.  I invite you to join me for “Do You Remember?” on Thursday, March 5 @ 7:30 PM- Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.

Everything you need to finding favor with God is already inside of you.  Like Esther, you don’t require anything more than what God has already given you.

"15 When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her." [Esther 2:15 RSV]

When you go into the Presence of the King, you will find favor.  Esther found grace and favor in the sight of the king.

"16 And when Esther was taken to King Ahasu-e'rus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign, 17 the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti." [Esther 2:16-17 RSV]

Your turn is also coming.  The phrase, “if I have found favor” echoes throughout the Bible and this is the cry of our hearts as well.  You may have asked, "where else have I heard this before?”  I’m glad you asked.  It is found three times in the Torah.

"3 and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant." [Genesis 18:3 RSV]

"10 Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand; for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, with such favor have you received me." [Genesis 33:10 RSV]

"13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee and find favor in thy sight. Consider too that this nation is thy people."" [Exodus 33:13 RSV]

I invite you to join me for “Finding Favor with God” on Thursday, February 20 @ 7:30 PM - Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.

Genetic splicing is a term that refers to one organism's DNA that is cut apart and slipped into the gap of another organism's DNA. The result is recombinant DNA that includes features of the host organism modified by the trait in the foreign DNA.  Gene splicing offers many advantages for society. For example, scientists have added new genes to organisms to make crop plants disease resistant and even more nutritious.

We also see gene splicing in the Scroll of Esther like no other book in the Bible.  The Scroll of Esther cannot be read as a standalone book.  Everyone and everything in the book has splices of spiritual genetic material from other parts of the Bible.  Esther is my favorite book in the Bible because it connects Biblical concepts, people, and themes through spiritual genetic splicing.

"10 Esther had not made known her people or kindred, for Mor'decai had charged her not to make it known." [Esther 2:10 RSV]
It was not yet known what would become of Esther.

Genetic Splicing will determine her fate or her destiny.  I invite you to join me for “Genetic Splicing in the Torah” on Thursday, February 13 @ 7:30 PM - Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.  The Scroll of Esther will shift you from mediocrity to greatness and make you more resilient in your destiny.

Time can have rippling effects on your destiny.  The first commandment that God gave the Jewish people in Egypt was the commandment to institute a new calendar.  This commandment was a gift to the Jewish people.

"1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 "This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you." [Exodus 12:1-2 RSV]

For 210 years, the Israelites lived in a sphere of time that was not their own.  After Joseph and his brothers died, their lives were filled with backbreaking bondage under Egyptian slavery.

"10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war befall us, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land."" [Exodus 1:10 RSV]

During this sphere of time with bondage in Egypt, the time of the Israelites did not belong to them.  The days meshed into one another.  The days were monotonous and painful. In the life of a slave, there is no hope, no creativity, and there is no future of an expected end.  God gifted the Jewish people with the gift of time to bring about rippling effects of time.   Now they were given a purpose as God's chosen people.

Queen Esther was also a slave in a sense.  She was captured and chosen to become the wife of King Ahasuerus against her will.  Like her ancestors in Egypt, Esther also had to experience the rippling effects of time on her destiny.  Queen Esther experienced a time shift when she came into her destiny defining epiphany to restore the legacy and the anointing that her ancestor, King Saul lost.

"14 For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"" [Esther 4:14 RSV]

I invite you to join me for “The Rippling Effects of Time” on Thursday, February 6 @ 7:30 PM - Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.  The Lord will bring you into a new sphere of time that will have rippling effects on your destiny.

Have you ever questioned the existence of God?

[Exodus 17:1-2 RSV] "1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped at Reph'idim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people found fault with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you find fault with me? Why do you put the LORD to the proof?”"

The congregation of Israel asked this question when there was no water for the people to drink.  They questioned the proof of God even after experiencing the 10 plagues that God inflicted upon the Egyptians, the mighty deliverance from Pharaoh, the parting of the Red Sea, and the crossing the Red Sea on dry ground. We must learn how to keep the awareness of God’s Presence in our midst.

The Lord wants to infuse every aspect of your life with faith and purpose.  You will learn what the rabbis say about the proof of God’s existence.

The essence of trauma is abandonment.   Abandonment can lead to learned helplessness and orphaned destinies.

Jesus experienced trauma on the cross.

"46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"" [Matthew 27:46 RSV]

Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses and helps us through our trauma.

"15 For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." [Hebrews 4:15 RSV]

Everyone of us has experienced some type of trauma.  Like Humpty Dumpty who had a great fall, God doesn’t put the broken pieces back together again.  Just as God commanded Moses to place the broken pieces of the first set of the Ten Commandments into the Ark of the Covenant, God is going to use your brokenness for His glory.  This brokenness becomes part of your anointing.

Trauma is not akin to fragility.  On the contrary, this brokenness can bring about hope and resiliency.  The key to healing the trauma is through remembering and connecting with the Lord.

"17 "Remember what Am'alek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, 18 how he attacked you on the way, when you were faint and weary, and cut off at your rear all who lagged behind you; and he did not fear God. 19 Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven; you shall not forget." [Deuteronomy 25:17-19 RSV]

I invite you to join me for “Is God With Us or Not? — Healing the Trauma in Your Soul” on Thursday, January 23 @ 7:30 PM - Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.  The Lord wants to heal the most vulnerable parts of your soul.  Come and experience healing from the trauma in your soul through the Holy Spirit. ​

The Lord’s goal in Creation is to fill it with His glory.

Habakkuk 2:14 (RSV) For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Is this something that can be fulfilled in our lives? We should all strive to fill our lives with God’s glory. This week we are going to examine the architecture of the Third Temple as our blueprint to apprehend God’s glory in our lives. Why should we even study about the Third Temple? The Midrash explains the reason to us.

The Midrash says, "I will consider it as if they were dealing with the construction of the House."

From this Midrash we learn that even though the Third Temple will be built by God, it is through our efforts of learning about the Third Temple, we can help build it.

I invite you to join me for “Glory Connection — The Inner Temple” on Thursday, January 2 @ 7:30 PM - Breath of the Spirit - 1531 S Sinclair St, Anaheim, CA.

Daniel saw the four winds of heaven in a night vision.

"2 Daniel said, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea." (Daniel 7:2 RSV)

Moses describes the four rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden.

"10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers." (Genesis 2:10 RSV)

There is a mysterious connection between the four winds and the four river heads.  This mysterious connection contains secrets to your destiny connection.
